Best Japanese Restaurants in Thornton

Highest quality sushi around, with a lot of unique appetizers/starters and cocktails. Great atmosphere, and a great place that i try to visit whenever i am in Denver or Vail.

We went to Uchi for our Anniversary. Overall we had an outstanding experience. We enjoyed the food and service as we sat at the sushi counter. Chef Jacob helped us with our orders. The food was excellent. Fish & lobster were fresh. Apparently they received 3 seafood shipments per week. We had Lobster Miso, Walu Walu (steamed fish), uni & salmon roe nigiri, hot rock wagyu beef, and a few drinks. We also received complimentary sushi for our Anniversary.

The food was delicious. The fatty tuna was exquisite. Cocktails were good. The Hakuto had more of a smoke taste than I’d like, but yummy still. Next time I would skip cocktails and order more food. The crab fried rice was perfectly crispy and it was a nice large portion. The crispy scallops roll was incredible, and the Wagyu Tartare was perfect.

Nicolette was an angel when we first walked in and took us to a table but my lil sis wanted to sit next to the window. Nicolette was very kind and understanding and gave us a high top in the bar to wait and have a cocktail. 20 minutes later she sat us at the window!! We had Sam for a waiter who was excellent!! He showed up when we needed him, checked on us after the food was served and described and delivered all of food hot and tasty. We had the east coast oysters to start, chop chop salad for the ladies and lobster bisque for the men. Lamb chops, the seafood special a Chilean sea bass with all kind of things with it, scallops and the grouper. Everyone loved their meal, apps and the in between. We love Ocean Prime and my lil sis from California does too.

The food is always good and the servers are so nice! Highly recommend
