Nozomi

First time here and immediately fell in love! With everything! The service was kind, genuine and quick. The atmosphere is intimate, clean and modern. And, of course, the food! Just fantastic! The best bang-for-the-buck in my opinion. $10 for a blue crab roll stuffed with real crab and not overly coated in rice is a great deal to me! We tried a few apps, rolls and nigiri as well as some sake. They have a good selection for anyone’s needs. The fried tuna appetizer is a must! Got to try the wagyu, lobster and blue crab nigiri. $8 for one piece isn’t cheap but it is a fair price for how truly delicious each one was! If you just came here for a few rolls and a soda, you wouldn’t have to spend much to get a great quality and delicious meal. This has now become my go-to place for sushi! I used to go to sushi sasa because I enjoyed the quality for the dollar ratio but they closed! So this place is just as good if not better and I will be a regular here!

Cute little place that serves delicious sushi. Our regular place in Denver closed and happy to call this our new gem. Fresh fish, good assortment of flavors and the staff is attentive !

Absolutely phenomenal sushi. We went for happy hour and got soooo much stuff, great maki selection at lower prices. The nigiri is legitimately some of the best I’ve had in my life, and I’ve had a lot of sushi (mostly in LA). So fresh & delicious. Great large portions for spicy edamame and the cucumber salad was so yummy too. 10/10 recommend.

My boyfriend chose this restaurant for our anniversary and it blew my mind. The quality of the fish?!? The quality of the rice?!? SO GOOD. I loved that our server presented each of the dishes we got and checked up on us often. I recommend getting the Hamachi Chili Sashimi appetizer. It comes with a tangy sweet mango sauce that I kept to dip my other nigiri/sashimi in hehe. They also provide fresh wasabi which is delish! I will definitely come back here.

I heard about this place thru Tik Tok of course!! I was looking for a new place to try out for dinner to meet some friends and I am so glad we did! We were going to go to Sushi Den again but I confessed to them how I don’t think it’s that great of a place just pricey and I have been there before (were talking 10 years or so ago) and recently with in the last two years (2023&2024) with them and my BF. So they let me choose and I did! I got all ideas of what to order as well from tik tok and going thru the reviews so, THANK YOU to those who took the time and put in the effort to name the dishes, share your opinion and experience as well as pictures. I ordered a Lychee Martini and a Pineapple Jalapeño margarita. I enjoyed the Lychee cocktail more. For appetizers we ordered the Miso soup, house salad, crispy spicy tuna, Shumai (from the happy hour menu) and pork gyoza. For sushi we ordered the salmon maki (from the happy hour menu), Sake Toro nigiri, Tejon roll, 2 shrimp tempura rolls, and a California roll. I had everything but the last roll I mentioned, the gyoza and house salad. I loved the soup- best one I have had in a while perfect balance in seasonings. The Shumai was fried and I preferred steamed but it was still flavorful with the sauce it’s served with and it comes with 8 pcs! I have never tried the Crispy Spicy tuna anywhere that I can recall and that was my favorite for a min. Then it changed to the Sake Toro Nigiri, I completely adored the size of it, the presentation, the taste and texture. The spicy salmon maki was so simple and so tasty. I think I’m going to have to say the Tejon roll was my favorite. The salmon on top did it for me lol. We never checked if we got charged happy hour prices for the 2 items as we selected them from the paper not ordered them more specifically from the happy hour menu but I don’t mind because I enjoyed everything and eventually (next day) ate all that I ordered. I cannot wait to come back. As far north as I live- I will go down to that neighborhood for Nozomi.

Unreal how good the sushi is! Phenomenal salmon, and the scallop nigiri was one of the best pieces of sushi I've ever had. Staff was wonderful and had great suggestions. Denver has many well known and excellent sushi places, but this one tops the list for me!

A little sushi sign out front doesn’t do justice.this place is a Hidden gem.what a great casual spot that happens to be in a great neighborhood.easy in and out with awesome fresh food. not only do I love it so do my kids.

INCREDIBLE FISH. We weren't expecting this place to be as good as it was. The fish is as fresh as Uchi's, the prices are more similar to Bamboo. Great spot for a more authentic Japanese vibe.

Good happy hour. Food was really fresh and tasty. I wish they had more variety on their happy hour menu but other than that, it was great! Fast, attentive service and the inside is very cute.

We went last night for a friend's birthday. The staff was very nice and friendly. The sushi missed the mark for me. We ordered a lot of things, crab cheese wontons, miso soup, shishito peppers, edamame, nigiri, sashimi and lots of sushi. The crab cheese wontons were really good! I appreciated that they were a bit softer so I didn't hurt the inside of my mouth like you normally do when the wonton is super crispy. My husband and I got the unagi nigiri and omg it was so good!!! It was huge, flavorful and amazing!! We also had the black dragon roll, the Philly roll and the yellowtail. The Philly was fine. The yellowtail and black dragon were disappointing. The yellowtail just had absolutely no flavor and the fish felt weird. The black dragon - it had shrimp tempura inside it - but the shell was still on the shrimp. So as we were eating different bites of the roll - we were getting crunchy shell chunks and that really just turned us off the roll.. overall the sushi was good. Not great, just fine

For anyone who has had California sushi, this is not 5-star, it's realistically a 1.5-star. For reference a 5-star = sugarfish Newport Beach or Nobu. Nozomi is on par with store bought sushi Barely average. If you're a tourist looking for good sushi, find somewhere else and don't waste the trip here. Key points: The fish is on the rubbery side, not melting in your mouth. They do not cater to any health requests or cook ANYTHING. Even after I offered to pay extra cost and advised shellfish allergy. I've never had this problem at any other restaurant. Miso soup was like the packaged store packets. My party members ate 1 piece of albacore Sashimi and began to feel sick. Plus side: The waiter was very nice. The waitresses had a bad attitude and ignored my questions by offering me other sushi that i stated I'm allergic too. I'd advise Her to learn customer service to increase tips. This place was almost empty when we were there, she wasn't exactly bustling with busy orders. Sarcastically per my party, they want to add the beer was good

We went on a Monday to check out happy hour after a friend recommended it. The place is in a cute and modern space on a corner in Sunnyside. We were greeted and sat right away and the service was very attentive. As far as the food - we had some temaki and maki, it was good but not great. The hand rolls fell apart immediately, I love hand rolls and I didn't think they were near as good as those I've had in the past. I'd prioritize some other local spots for basic sushi over coming back to this location.

Love Nozomi downn. We come here because it is close to my boyfriend's studio. It's always a lovely experience. The servers are sweet and check back on the table every so often. We usually order a bottle of sake and a decent amount of rolls. The spicy edamame is delicious with a good hit of spice. Our most recent visit we had a goal of ordering enough sushi to get the boat. They bring you a wooden boat with all the rolls you order if you order maybe like 5 different ones. And we achieved it! The sweet potato roll is a favorite as well as the jalapeño yellowtail. The price is also quite good for what you get. The quality is fine, not super amazing like the higher end places in Denver, but good nonetheless. This place is a great spot for a casual sushi lunch or dinner.

I know this review will go against most opinions from recent visits but there were several things that played out during our meal that just weren't up to standard to get higher than 2 stars. We ordered water and drinks right away which came out quickly but then we were constantly being hovered over while we all made our dinner choices. Mind you, one person was in the bathroom at first and then they also only gave us 1 menu for our entire table to share so that kinda makes it impossible to make timely choices. It was noticeable on how many times our server came by waiting and that is just rude. We ordered the Snow Break, Godzilla and Dynamite rolls along with miso soup, seaweed salad and a snow crab wagyu piece. They could have taken the appetizer menu from us if they were in such a hurry. Miso soup was standard, the seaweed salad for $7.50 was a large proportion so good on that and the snow crab wagyu was good and also a good size for the $7.00. The snow break was by far the best roll out of our three rolls, the Godzilla was also good but when paying for the highest priced item you pretty much expect it to be the best tasting too. Then there was the Dynamite, it was large in size however that was only because there almost 1/2 inch of rice rolled around everything and when biting into it, it was nothing but mush and you taste any of the other ingredients listed for the roll. We eat a lot of sushi and for Ben to not like his roll enough to finish it says a lot. My MIL took a bite and just shook her head in dislike so I wasn't even going to try it but he asked me as well for a clear opinion. I cut off most of the rice so I could try to taste the fish in the middle, and it was so bland. I could not taste any of the ingredients. I tried to get it down but I ended up taking my napkin and disposing of my bite in there. I couldn't do it. We were asked if we wanted boxes as soon as it appeared we were done eating, which would be fine but we were still finishing our drinks. As soon as the boxes came out, the hovering around our table started again. And again. To add to the bad service for basically harassing us, we asked them to lower one of the window blinds because the sun was right in two of our eyes and the table behind us and we're told, "I have to ask my coworker" and never heard a word back from anyone. It wasn't pleasant to have to hold a hand up in front of your eyes while trying to talk during dinner but sure... why not? More hovering continued once we signed check to the point where the server came over while we were still there, took the receipt booklet and opened it right in front of us to see what her tip was. That is so rude. Ben did not take too kindly to that. So unfortunately, we will not return and certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Good thing there are plenty of sushi options.

We've been to Ototo, Sushi Den, and Temaki Den, and while this spot might not be as fancy as those, it's truly a hidden gem. It has officially joined our top sushi list! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the sushi was absolutely phenomenal. We didn't take too many photos because we were so busy scarfing it down--it was just that delicious. If you're looking for amazing sushi in a cozy, unpretentious setting, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went to Nozomi on a Sunday night. It was a lovely evening with delicious food and fast service! Street parking was easy, and we were greeted when we walked in. We had a reservation, but it wasn't needed for a Sunday night. We were in a bit of a rush, but our server was on top of it and very kind! The ambiance was very nice with muted lighting. Tables are a little close together but nothing too bad. There were four sushi chefs working which helped us get our food quickly. We had the Crab Cheese Wontons, Salmon Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Sweet Potato Roll. All were great and very fresh! Prices weren't crazy. My only complaint is that the Diet Coke doesn't have free refills and comes in a plastic bottle. ;)

I recently visited for their weekend happy hour (until 5pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays) and was just as impressed with their services, quality, and offerings! I love their hand rolls and wanted to sample even more. I look forward to making this my go-to sushi spot. It was not too busy on a Saturday at 4:30pm but by the time we left, it was starting to fill up. Their service was extremely quick (I think our first sushi bites were served in less than 5 minutes from ordering)! They are super nice and I always have a lovely experience here.

Booked a reservation for my niece's 16th birthday and she really wanted sushi. Saw the good reviews here so I was sure this would be a great new spot to try. Upon sitting down, we were greeted with not many words. Soon to find out I think there was a language barrier. We were never asked if we wanted something to drink. We marked our items we wanted on a piece of paper they give you with the menu. As you eat they put the receipt ticket of what you ordered on the edge of the table or a chair and mark off items as you receive them. Not a great feeling as a guest. We weren't super impressed with the few items we got. Even worse than that, shortly after, 2 of the 3 of us didn't feel quite right. I would not go back again.

Two people recommended Nozomi to me. I was finally able to stop in for few pieces and rolls. I can't believe it took me so long to stop in. The nigiri was amazing especially the salmon belly. It was melt in your mouth soft. I highly recommend the crazy tuna roll, full of flavor. Prices are average but, the quality is some of the best I have had in Denver.

We had a reservation at 630, ordered 2 rolls and seaweed salad. Our seaweed salad came out within 5 minutes but at 740 I let our server know we were still waiting for our rolls. They came out 10 minutes later. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or lost our ticket but it took a verrrrrrrrry long time to get our food. We did the red dragon roll and rainbow roll. Both were good.

Really great spot with awesome service. We made a reservation for a friend's birthday and even with a few hiccups on our part they were super accommodating. I feel like most restaurants will be annoyed with you for last minute changes (and rightfully so), but our servers at Nozomi weren't at all. It was so refreshing. The appetizers, nigiri, and sashimi were all fantastic. I will say I was a bit disappointed in the specialty rolls as I felt they were a little heavy on rice and lacking a bit of flavor. But I'd definitely go back for the quality of fish and load up on apps and nigiri! -- also side note- they were super accommodating with a 1 year old!

We made reservations here and seated right away. Sushi was very good and prices were great for Denver! We didn't have a lot of server interaction, but she was prompt and our sushi "yacht" was a work of art!

We made a last-minute reservation at Nozomi on Valentine's Day. I was very pleased and appreciative that they were able to accommodate us. It was our first time here and I liked the layout and mood of the place. I also liked the way they had the restaurant decked out with flowers and balloons for the holiday. When we arrived, it was still quiet, although the servers seemed a little unprepared, because they seated us at a messy table, with scissors, tape, and other stuff strewn around the table top. This aside, the service was quite good and so was the food. We enjoyed some vegan sushi from their lunchtime Happy Hour menu. (Please offer some more vegan options, like mushroom or grilled veggies!) My son really enjoyed their spicy salmon maki roll. I'd definitely like to come back again sometime soon for lunch or dinner and drinks.

Fabulous sushi, great service., nice ambience. Indeed, the best sushi I've had in Denver.

I love this place! I come with my boyfriend every Sunday and it's always delicious and amazing service. I suggest getting a bar spot is you're only with two people. Our personal favorite order is a cold Asahi, miso, spicy edamame, and cucumber salad to start. Then the Sake Toro (best nigiri piece), Wagyu, the Bluefin, and sometimes the scallop and eel. I LOVE NOZOMI!

What a wonderful sushi meal we had last week! This place quickly jumped to the top of my go to list for my go to sushi spot. The menu had a bunch of great options and was pretty affordable. We went for dinner, but took a look at their happy hour menu and that's for sure what I'm coming back for next time. Great for groups, amazing attentive service and most importantly, GREAT QUALITY FISH. This satisfied my sushi craving, but I know I'll be back again soon!!!

This has quickly become one of my go to spots for sushi I'm Denver. It's a quaint sushi spot and the sushi chefs at the bar look like they're all Japanese, so you know it's going to be good. The sushi is super fresh, and they dress their nigiri to give it extra flavor and pop. Their rolls are also really well made with great sushi rice and interesting sauces and topping combinations. Though a little pricey, it's definitely worth it. Some highlights for me on the menu are their salmon belly nigiri, miso eggplant, and the red dragon roll.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Denver. Period. I almost hesitated to review this place since everyone is going to find out what a gem it is and will become an overcrowded sushi den 2.0. But alas-- duty calls. First of all, the sashimi quality is on par with sushi den period. Their crudo sashimi appetizers are incredible, like stop in your tracks holy guacamole WOW. So if you come here you have to get the salmon (sake) sashimi appetizer because when you do you will want to order a second. Which I have done almost every time I have gone there. Oops. Their rolls are also really good, special shout out to the king roll, Tejon roll, and snow beauty roll as well. That said if you want a sashimi fix, the crudo appetizers and sashimi really shine here. In addition to the food, this restaurant has navigated my sesame allergy immaculately free of errors, always making us feel cared for. It's hard to find a restaurant as a reliable. If you have dinner at nozomi, you WILL have a delicious meal and a wonderful time to boot.

Great sushi at good value! Happy hours prices are pretty good, you can get 3 Temaki hand rolls for $12, and the maki cut rolls for a couple of bucks, along with sides like miso soup and shishito peppers. Fish tasted like good quality, fresh, and good portion size for the price. Service was lovely, they were friendly, attentive. We would definitely come back

We love Nozomi! What a quaint little spot with great food and REAL CRAB! Love that they have delicious items on their happy hour and for a more than reasonable price. The service is always spot on and kind. I love going to their happy hour, it's literally the best! Their yellowtail always seems the freshest to me.

It was easy to find parking in the street. I went on a Wednesday evening, there was no wait line for me. I ordered miso soup, seaweed salad, salmon sashimi, black dragon roll sushi. Sashimi and sushi were very good especially the salmon sashimi. It was very fresh. Seaweed salad quality was very average. Overall service was good as well.

Literally the best meal of my life. I've had fine dining on both coasts, Europe, and Vegas, and this was an incredible experience. Even my girlfriend's picky daughter loved her food. We got lobster, Wagyu steak, six different rolls, plus dumplings, soup, and seaweed salad. And walked out with only a tiny box and keeping in mind my girlfriend ate minimally because of a recent surgery. The owner and the staff were incredibly attentive, and the owner was working so hard you would never know it was her place! I went back to get take-out, it was incredible too! The rolls are tight and expertly made. I absolutely love this place. Great atmosphere clean bathrooms. It smells incredible and they have this jelly shot and peach sake that are delicious. Well done! Thank you for multiple memorable experiences!!! - Dustin and Jamie

This spring we summited the sushi world with an omakase at Michelin-starred Udatsu Sushi in Tokyo. Since then we've bounced from restaurant in restaurant in our hometown of Chicago trying in vain to equal the experience. Maybe Nozomi isn't Udatsu, but the quality, presentation and service was as good--if not better--than any of our Chicago go-to's. We worked our way though some incredible sashimi and nigiri--the black cod was out-of-this world--before wrapping up with a couple makis. Service was impeccable. Denver, I hope you know how good you've got it!

The Tepamaki hand rolls were delicious! I will visit Nozomi when I'm back in town! The waiter was very attentive. My water glass was refilled often! I arrived during Happy Hour. Happy Hour ends at 5:00pm on Friday. I will remember that for future visits!

Great sushi for a reasonable price! Love that it feels like a neighborhood spot. The toro nigiri was amazing and cut like butter. Been a few times and each time I think it gets better. Overall good service and ambiance. I like that for casual sushi, it's still a great meal.

I tried this place as the reviews were good and it was recommended by yelp; I am a short term resident here in Denver, coming from Austin, Texas. I came away with the following TLDR: I am not a fan of paying extreme premiums for mediocre sushi with mediocre service and a bad atmosphere, I would not recommend this place. I started by calling ahead to reserve a table, with little issue; I got there and stepped in being mean eyed by a waiting crowd, far more so when the server noticed a crowd and went group by group asking if any were us; I stepped forward and confirmed, she then sat us, where we waited for around 10 minutes for initial contact with my server. I should note that anyone with Auditory Processing Disorder or other such issues with loud noises and an excruciatingly loud din need not even attempt this place, it was one of the loudest restaurants I've ever been in, just based on this, as I do have APD, I would immediately rate this extremely low even if the food was good and the service was acceptable, the attention to the layout to prevent the massive escalation of noise just wasn't there. I ordered a soda and an appetizer as well as two California rolls not wanting to spend $75 to get enough to eat. (our app was $20, most of their rolls were $20-30, some slightly less, some much more) Specifically, I elected for California temaki (roll sushi) at $10 for each roll of eight pieces which seemed like a decent price, I was hoping to have some left over; Our appetizer, crab cheese dumplings, came after about 15m and it was overcooked to the point where it was shattering instead of pulling apart cleanly, this may just be my preference, but I'd take panda express' cream cheese rangoons over this, they're the same thing and better overall. It came with what tasted like duck sauce, but it tasted bland for duck sauce to me. What came out after a very long wait, 20m or so more was a small platter of 16 tiny pieces of sushi, I found them cute but it was very expensive for what I recieved. I decided to wait until trying it to judge; it may be amazing! It absolutely wasn't good enough to demand any significant premium; I was honestly thinking that grocery store sushi was better by a longshot, let alone a comparably expensive sushi restaurant like what I am very familiar with in Austin. My food came out to a total of around $50 after tax including the appetizer as I ate most of it once I realized I wasn't going to get enough to eat that night without, a similar price to my companion who ordered one of the nicer rolls and a tuna temaki (I did try one of her significantly larger six pieces of dynamite sushi, and it wasn't anything to write home about, though better than mine it costed triple the price per piece). Our bill totaled out to around $100 after tax and before tip. I have no clue how mediocre sushi can cost that much but I'm not going to come back to try again; that's for sure. If the sushi was amazing I would not balk at the price in the slightest, if it was decent I probably still would not come back at the price, but at these prices it's highway robbery, I would prefer grocery store sushi over this any day. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

We came here Monday for happy hour right before our flight back to Austin. It is such an unassuming location in the LOHI area. It was quiet when we arrived since it was a Monday at 4:30 pm. Its a pretty dark restaurant with a lot of seating throughout. We were greeted promptly and sat at the front back of the restaurant, which accommodated our luggage. We didn't order anything off the regular menu, so I can't attest to the items on the normal menu, but the Happy Hour is really where it is at! The items we tried were the 3 temaki rolls for $12 (salmon, spicy salmon, and yellowtail), we ordered shishito peppers, shumai, and two rolls (Philadelphia and Salmon). Everything came out quickly, and all the fish cuts were fresh and delicious! If we are back in Denver, we will definitely come back to check out more of the menu!

This is our favorite sushi spot in Denver! Ever since we moved here, we have always been hesitant with eating sushi (landlocked state). But Nozomi is top notch! We feel at home coming here and haven't gone to any other sushi spot in Denver after finding Nozomi. The fish is so fresh and prepared perfectly. The service is also fast, everyone is very welcoming. We always try to sit up at the sushi bar so we can see all the creations. We like simple sushi/nigiri. We always get the tuna, salmon, scallop (chefs kiss), and yellow tail. I forgot to take pictures of the nigiri we ordered but it looked and tasted amazing (blue fin tuna and salmon)! Also have to get some saki while you're there! Go check them out!

This was our second time at Nozomi. We visited the first time on July 4th because we couldn't find other sushi places open on that day close by to our place. It was such a pleasant surprise to land at such good sushi joint! The second time we showed up with no reservation (not the best idea) but the manager recognized us and put us on the wait list right away. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our favorite dishes. I love simple high quality ingredients and they do not disappoint. The Snapper sashimi and miso eggplant are my favorite. We will keep coming and try more things!

What a find! We stumbled across Nozomi thanks to other reviews and it exceeded all of our expectations. The fish selection was incredibly fresh and the options plentiful. Delicious is an understatement! If I could give it 10 stars I would without hesitation.

Neighborhood with an amazing happy hour. Everything I've tried on the menu from crab cheese wontons, to the fresh salmon nigiri, Kobe fried rice, and Tejon roll. Each dish is made with flavor-influenced thought and the service is amazing.

Another great gem found by Yelp! Took a few tries, but this was suggested! Nestled in a cute neighborhood in Denver this place was perfect. We sat at the bar. I kept trying to peak at the guys that were making sushi lol. I had the miso soup which hit the spot. We had the most delicious crab wontons. I love maki rolls so we got the salmon and they do not skimp! So yummy! We shared the King Roll. Shrimp tempura, mango, cucumber topped with lobster salad. Best sushi I've had in a while. The mango gave a sweet touch!! Cute place with a great atmosphere and great sushi!

This is a Japanese restaurant. The food style is similar to Zuma in Dubai. The environment is very good, the taste is also very good, and there is not a single disappointment. What impressed me most was that the Angus short rib beef was very tender and tasty, and it melted in the mouth; the truffle mushroom rice was rich in flavor

5 stars for the food and 4 stars for the service. I highly recommend you check out this sushi spot. Good vibes and great food. It's almost Sushi De material but 30%. cheaper. The happy hour is from 4pm-6pm and I recommend it. Will be coming back :)

This is our favorite sushi restaurant, the service is fantastic. The food is fantastic. The environment is great and the prices are reasonable.

I have been wanting to check out Nozomi because I noticed their happy hour menu looked fantastic. We sat at the sushi bar and had an entire sushi dinner for about $60! The happy hour offers 3 hand rolls for $12 and $6 maki. We tried the eel avocado and spicy salmon hand rolls, spicy yellowtail maki, and eel avocado maki. All of it was made right in front of us and was very fresh. We ordered a scallop and bluefin tuna nigiri which was not on the happy hour menu but was melt in your mouth good! I can wait to come back for the full dinner service, but happy hour is definitely worth the visit!

My favorite in Denver...service is awesome, and the food is just as great. Sashimi all the way. A must try!

The food quality is great! Fish is incredibly fresh, this is a hidden gem! We really enjoyed their nigiri (salmon belly was very tasty!!!)

Adding this one to my favorites! Absolutely delicious sushi here. Everything from start to finish went above my expectations, from the service to the food and paying the bill. It's a beautiful restaurant and the food was so fresh, I was very impressed. Possibly the most fresh sushi I've ever had in Denver. The servers are very patient and attentive. The sushi chefs are friendly too. There's plenty of curbside street parking around. Clean bathrooms. Clean restaurant. I especially loved the ambiance. The backlight at the bar makes everything look so much cooler. Well done guys! I highly recommend the shrimp shumai, shishito peppers, and definitely don't miss the eggplant roll.

Great little sushi spot in Sunnyside. It was surprising not too busy on a Saturday night around 6pm when everywhere else packed. But it was great! Service was excellent, sushi was delicious, atmosphere was good and cocktails were yummy. No complaints. I'll definitely come again.

Nozomi is a go to for our family. It is never too busy and the staff is prompt and so kind. We often go in with my nephew who is a toddler and they are patient and helpful. Every roll we have had is incredible and the fish is so fresh. It is a cute little sushi shop with just enough seating and delicious sake! Can't wait to go back

Tried Nozomi last night... *Their fatty tuna belly and salmon nigiri were AMAZING.* However their eggplant nigiri was just ok, and their rolls were all sub-par. I did appreciate that there were a lot of rolls on the menu that did not have spicy mayo, cream cheese, or were entirely fried. That is usually the mark of a decent sushi place, in my opinion. However if I'm being TOTALLY honest... if you're a sushi snob (like me), I wouldn't bother coming here unless you're going to shell out for the nigiri.

Another sushi bar that popped up in the Sunnyside neighborhood. If you are not paying attention, you'll miss this restaurant because it looks nothing like a sushi restaurant on the outside. And the exterior store sign is somewhat small. Once inside, a bit of modern feel on top of somewhat traditional Japanese style ambiance nicely coexists in a spacious one story building; this restaurant is definitely unassumingly being on one of the corners of Tejon and 41st. In a way, it doesn't try to look over the top as if to say that it wants to remain humble. Our reservation was at 6:30pm on a beautiful Saturday. It wasn't that busy when we arrived. The night was still young; gradually though people started showing up for their mid evening dinner, one after another. And by 7:30pm it was quite busy. Let's talk quality of the food, shall we? We were pretty impressed with most of the items we ordered. Miso Black Cod almost melted on our tongues. And the side white rice enhanced the whole dish. Even something simple like miso soup was impressively good here. I wanted to order something unique that's not offered at most of the sushi restaurants in Denver so one of the nigiri pieces I personally ordered was the Nasu (eggplant). My daughter thought it was an eel nigiri at first (lol!) This Nasu nigiri was the highlight of the show so unless you are not a big fan of eggplant, you should definitely order it; you'll not be disappointed with this one. Our waitress was attentive to our needs. In a typical Asian culture, carrying on small talks others and smiling at strangers even in a restaurant setting might not be a common practice but workers at this restaurant are efficient and they focus on professionalism and timely assistance. That was what we saw when we dined here at Nozomi. My daughter was so impressed with everything we had tonight to a point where she even said she'd be back with her boyfriend who's a big fan of miso cod. You got to check this new kid on the block out!

We are frequent customers of Nozomi Sushi! Hands down our favorite sushi restaurant! The food is Consistently delicious! The service is continuously outstanding / where everyone knows your name! Super accommodative and reasonably priced! Big fans and highly recommend!

Quality and value is second to none. Love their take out as well. Probably my new favorite restaurant in Denver!

Nozomi is a fairly newer sushi restaurant in the Sunnyside area and I'm so glad it's here! They have really delicious cuts of fish and everything tastes really fresh. The staff is so welcoming when you enter the building. They also have a pretty great happy hour. Parking isn't always the best since they don't have a parking lot but it's just a short walk at most. We always like to sit at the bar the watch the chefs make the dishes!

Parking is a little tough but I lucked out. The miso soup is excellent and the Choya plum wine was offered as still or sparkling. Fish is fresh and delicious and they had fabulous options for vegetarians throughout the menu. I highly recommend the eggplant sushi to everyone.
