Sushi Uokura is the only AYCE (all you can eat) sushi place in that general area (Golden/West Lakewood) and it is very unfortunate that they seemed to have gone downhill quite a bit. Sushi Uokura used to have the best fish to rice ratio amongst all the AYCE places in the Denver metropolitan area which is no longer the case. The menu has always been the smallest as well which wasn't too much of an issue until recently where it has shrunk even more (I believe they only offer 7-8 nigiri) and no unagi (fresh water eel). Another unfortunate change is that the service used to be really good but lately it's been bad with long wait times to be seated and to put in our orders, infrequent check-ins, and incorrect food coming out at times. It seems like it is more of a management issue than the servers themselves. I used to really like this small, family-feeling AYCE spot and I hope they return to their previous, better form.

Sushi is one of those places I didn't care for growing up, but I would always accompany my mom, and because of this restaurant, i slowly acquired a taste for sushi and now love this cuisine! We always tend to order the same 3 items when we visit: the green mussels for appetizer and the Las Vegas Roll and Eel Roll. (In the past, I used to also order the Teriyaki Chicken lunch special, which I'd highly roccomend for those non sushi enthusiasts). The green mussels are so tasty. Each order comes in 5 shells with 2 mussels in each, drizzled in a couple of tasty sauces. I'd highly recommend this as an appetizer as the flavors are unique and the value of this item is great as well. The Eel Roll is very tasty. It's a more traditional sushi roll where the eel, cucumber, and usually the avocado are wrapped on all sides by rice (I order the avocado on the side as I'm allergic). It's a lighter but tasty and healthier sushi option. The Las Vegas Roll is a cream cheese roll with crab and lightly fried. It is beyond tasty! (If you do order these two rolls, I'd recommend eating the Eel Roll before the Las Vegas Roll as it is a slightly lighter flavor). Another roll we've ordered in the past, which is also tasty, is the Dragon Roll.Overall, the service is always nice, and you can tell they appreciate every single customer and treat you with nothing but smiles. There is also plenty of seating, even during a lunch rush, so there's really no reason not to give this place a try!

I've been coming here for years. Always good, Always clean. I recommend it. Something about the tree to the south of the sushi bar makes me happy.

Sushi Uokura is our family's go-to when craving sushi. They have such a great selection of fresh fish. We started with green tea which was served extra hot and appreciated on a cold day in Colorado. Our server was on top of refills for both water and tea. Since it was my mom's birthday she picked our sushi selection. Everything we had was SOOOO delicious. We had one order of sashimi, several selections of the nigiri and a couple of rolls. This was enough for 3 of us to share and still have a few pieces to take home. The Ebi was exceptional and my favorite from the selection. Each roll had a great combination of flavors and textures. The staff are friendly and professional and the sushi selection is always fresh.

I started coming to Uokura about 20 years ago. Haven't been in a very long time but I wanted to try out the AYCE lunch. $24 and the fish is better than other AYCE places. Problem is the selection for lunch. It's so limited. Barely any appetizers like the basics (tempura, teriyaki etc.). The sushi selection is very limited as well, no unagi, no hamachi... I'll have to check out dinner sometime.

I had a fantastic birthday lunch here with a 4 year old on her birthday with her mom, her brother and Jamie. The occasion was extraordinary with the 4 year old and her 2 year old brother loving and devouring the sushi, from 2 veggie rolls to salmon sushi and miso soup too!The food is good. Not the best in town but still good. Service on for a late lunch on a Friday was slow and a bit disorganized. The ambiance is a bit eclectic and indicative of a conversion to a restaurant from a prior use - apparently a home. I would go back for another birthday when she turns 5 - as this venue is close to her home.

Great spot to take the whole family for all you can eat sushi!We enjoyed being able to get a big table in the back and our server was so sweet. For the all you can eat - there's fried roll options, raw fish options, only nigiri no sashimi and apps like gyoza, miso soup, ext...Will be back again!

Abysmal service and not good enough food to make up for it. After an hour of waiting for our three rolls, we had to hunt down a waitress (since no one bothered to come check on us or fill up our waters) to ask about our order. When we finally got our rolls they were lackluster, at best. Of the three, I'd only recommend the Hawaiian roll. We then had to go to the desk to find someone to give us the bill. The excuse they gave about our food being so late was that they have two chefs and the white menu (non all you can eat one) was behind. They comped one drink. I'll never be back nor will I recommend it to anyone. Definitely not the birthday dinner experience I'd hoped for my husband.
