Best Japanese Restaurants in University Hills

The food was very tasty and a great value since it was during happy hour. The service was excellent. We had a great time and we highly recommend this place. Thanks.

Again, as always, the food is the star here. There is truly no better (some as good) sushi in Denver or a many, even hundreds of miles mile radius. On this particular night, the crowd was bigger and louder than usual and the service perhaps struggled a bit to keep up with the volume. Usually the ambience is a little more peaceful and the design/decor elements are quite lovely. We go back again and again for the amazing foo, that while pricey, is Incredible. As strange as it sounds for a land-locked state, we have eaten all over the world and will always hold Sushi/Izakaya Den as the gold standard.

This was my first time at Hapa. The management and staff were simply amazing and accommodating. The selections in every category were creative, fresh and flavorful; and the presentation was elegant and fun. This was an absolutely top-shelf experience.

Incredible service and even better food. The quality is so fresh and worth the price. It was our first time trying the caviar roll—it was hands down our favorite dish. I can't even describe how delicious the texture and flavor are. I also always enjoy the yellowtail jalapeno sashimi. You have to try these two dishes for yourself, as well as other recommended rolls and salmon nigiri. This restaurant is exceptional for a romantic date night.

Our chef was an absolute blast! I believe his name was Phil? He was personable, funny and related to us all at the table. My two kids had never been before and had the time of their life! The food was fantastic, flavorful and cooked exactly as we requested. Our chef continued to check with everyone to see if we were satisfied while also making us laugh. Bartender made an awesome lemon drop too. All the employees we saw were friendly and greeted us with smiles. We will definitely be returning !
