A solid take out order! Majority of the time I do not do pick up orders, especially for sushi. But sometimes you want sushi on a Saturday night & you just know dining in at 7:30pm without a reservation is probably not possible. We spent $120 & it all of it was really great, no issues at all - pick up order was ready 40 mins after it was placed online. We ordered: small vegetable tempura, sake crudo, hamachi chili, sake nigiri, bluefin toro nigiri, yellowtail jalapeño maki & a pacific roll. The yellowtail maki could’ve been spicier, but it was still delicious.

Picked this spot out for my wife’s birthday having never been here and this place did not disappoint! They had quite a few things on the menu that I hadn’t tried before and the waitress was super helpful in explaining them. The scallop nigiri and the wagyu were hands down the best, but everything was great. Staff was really nice and they were really quick with getting things out. Definitely some of the best sushi I’ve ever had.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Exceptional Sushi & Incredible Vibes! My husband, two girlfriends, and I went to Nozomi Sushi on Tejon Street in Denver, and this place absolutely blew us away. The sushi was insanely delicious — so fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor. We also ordered martinis and sake, and everything was perfection. The atmosphere inside is stunning — modern, clean, and super inviting. You can tell they take pride in their space. And the customer service? Off the charts. Our waiter even poured extra drinks of sake for us so we didn’t have to lift a finger. Little details like that make the entire experience feel next-level. We stopped in before a concert and it set the tone for an amazing night. Incredible food, great drinks, gorgeous atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond. Highly, highly recommend Nozomi Sushi. We’ll definitely be back!

Love this place! It is always high quality and they happy hour is the BEST BANG FOR YOU BUCK. I love getting the spicy salmon maki and temaki as well as the eel Avacado variant. They also happen to have a great high end whiskey selection, as well as Japanese beer.
