My go to for a lunch meeting, fantastic linch deals. Maki gets the job done for the price, udon is also good. Can't beat for the value, and I always enjoy bantering with the staff.

This location was my favorite sushi place in Denver from the late 80's. I stopped going there after the original owner let it go. A few weeks ago, we came here for lunch for the first time in years. What a wonderful surprise! My mother is Japanese and extremely critical of "Japanese" restaurants. This was a wonderful find and experience for both of us!They say first impressions are lasting ones. The staff at Okinawa Sushi did not disappoint. They greeted us like royalty, and treated mom with utmost respect. They went out of their way to ensure her comfort and for the best seating. She's 92 years old. The restaurant is very clean. White table cloths. Really nice atmosphere. Our appetizers were delicious. A tasty mouth watering appetizer is the stuffed jalapeño. I have never had anything like it...fresh cream cheese and sushi in a jalapeño pepper? Wow!!! It is now my platinum standard for stuffed jalapeños. Best I've ever had! We both enjoyed sashimi which was sliced to perfection! The fish was very fresh. Portion size was excellent! Although we live 60 miles from here, we will go out of our way and return for another exquisite meal. Just FABULOUS! Next time, I'll take pictures to post. Can we keep this place a secret? :-)

Came with a group of friends for a "Friendmas" celebration and I was blown away! From the exceptional service to the unique array of sushi rolls, this spot was a hit for all of us.They have a huge selection of rolls and most of us all got different ones to try. Some of us even got other items like nigiri, salmon teriyaki, edamame and more. I thought the nigiri was great! But also all the rolls we ordered were tasty. We did some sake bombs to celebrate being together and they went down smooth! Also very fairly priced!However, I must say what put this experience over the top was the service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and hilarious. He kept cracking jokes and our table kept saying we didn't know we were coming to dinner and a show!This is a conveniently located spot on Colfax next to bars, the Zoo, and other attractions. So a perfect place start a night out for date night or a friends get together. I will absolutely come back here, especially for dinner with friends. Such a fun and tasty experience that I can't wait to share with others!

We came here for my husband's birthday dinner as we stayed at Castle Marne a few blocks away. The place is cozy and is right on Colfax so you can hear the sirens and hustle/bustle. I found that charming because we live in the burbs. We ordered a variety of sushi rolls, rainbow roll, soft shell crab to name a few, all which tasted fresh and delicious. I prefer a spot near us slightly more but this was really good. My son had the fried rice which he said was 5 stars! I would definitely visit again and felt the service, the ambiance and food were great.

This place had some interesting items on the menu (like sushi sandwiches and sushi tacos), but I opted for a couple rolls and some nigiri. I got the shrek roll and titanic roll and both were decent. In general, I don't often order rolls because they take away from the pure flavor of the sushi, but these were quite filling, which is what I needed. There just wasn't anything particularly unique about this sushi spot. Maybe I should've tried some of their interesting menu items, but really their menu is overall way too expansive. I would recommend them really focus on a few areas instead of offering every single sushi combination and Japanese appetizer known to man.

Hot sake was JUST what I needed after my partner and I went on a freezing date to the Blossoms of Light festival. The snow was beautiful but cold this particular evening. That made street parking pretty easy (one block down) when it would have been quite crowded on Colfax. We were seated immediately for dinner since there weren't many other people around.I was craving chirashi, when normally I'd have gotten a few sushi rolls. The hot sake and miso were a good way to warm my body before the entrée. The chirashi came "deconstructed" vs. the typical bowl format, which I thought was clever. Sashimi was fresh and filling, which is lowkey my concern because of price. Overall would come back here again!

Solid food and great service. They didn't even make it awkward while I waited almost an hour for my friend to show up because she went to the wrong location.

I used to frequent Okinawa when I first moved to Denver several years ago. After that, I moved on to other locations, largely I recall due to price. After a delivery order failure via Grubhub the other weekend (place I ordered from was actually closed), I decided I would give Okinawa another try. I like that they're open during lunch hours, given that's when I often want sushi.The first order I got was a dinner set which was good, not terribly memorable, but did the job. A few weeks later, I figured I would pick up lunch. I didn't get a confirm my order was ready (shrug), but set out to pick it up when I figured it had been enough time. I got the sushi/sashimi lunch set for $21. While the fish itself tasted fine, the overall quality was lacking. The California roll was absolutely tiny. It felt like they were trying to save rice, of all things, since it was so small and the nori was barely covered. The sashimi and nigiri pieces were on the smaller size too, though not as egregious. The salad, I discovered too late, had about a 1/3 cup of water hanging out at the bottom of the container. Gross. While I'm sympathetic to such situations, given other comparably priced options, I'll probably go elsewhere in the future.

The food quality has gone downhill. Room temperature sushi makes me feel ill. There's also a tall guy there who makes inappropriate jokes and makes my wife uncomfortable
