Okinawa

Great atmosphere at the end of a strip center in the heart of Lone Tree. Food was excellent and service was top-​shelf. Very small patio, but at least an option. Has decent lunch menu for that weekday crowd; but will definitely be back with the wife for a date night as the specialty rolls looked amazing.

I brought my wife here in a whim after driving by earlier in thr week. Was pleasantly surprised. This establishment exceeded my expectations.
The rolls and presentation were phenomenal. Fish super fresh. The service was impeccable. Outdoor patio available too.
Will make the drive from Castle Rock more often.

We moved from TX last year and have been missing our favorite Sushi place. We went here on a Tuesday and it was quite busy. The food was all very good– we ordered rolls, tempura and a salad. Prices not bad either. Only complaint was the service as it was packed and took over an hour to get our food. The waitress said this wasn’t normal and they even called more chefs in. Would definitely go again!

The Kobe beef roll is awesome. Futomaki is tight. Lobster roll is well balanced. Really like this place a lot. Sad to admit, I hope this place can stay undiscovered for a little bit longer, because once enough people find this place it is going to be crowded.

Average sushi if you have ever lived where you can get Fresh sushi. It’s worth going to sushi den or Izakeya even though it’s a far drive from HR. Service was beyond bad. Got there at 630, got our sushi at 8pm. No one came by and even apologized for how long it took. There were people eating sushi that got there an hour after our party. Very unorganized, not enough staff. The only time they were attentive was when the bill came. This is a restaurant that does well because there aren’t any Sushi places around.

0 stars if I could and a guarantee I will tell everyone I know to NOT eat here.

We have eaten at Okinawa frequently over the past few months and enjoy it. My food has always been very good but my husband says the fish is sometimes not really fresh. The prices and service have always been excellent and the staff seem well trained and friendly. We will certtainly continue to go there.

My daughter and I have eaten at Okinawa on two separate occasions. We were very happy and satisfied on both occasions with the customer service and, most especially, with the quality of their sushi. Price of sushi is also very reasonable. BTW, unlike most sushi restaurants, Okinawa is open for lunch on Sundays. A definite plus for us!

Not a 1 star because they were nice, but definitely not a great place to eat. Fishy Sushi I thought. Waiter poured water in my wife’s 7 up to refill it. We asked for a to go box with tons of sushi left and he brought this tiny box. So the service was annoying because the servers barely spoke English and the sushi was not great for the price. After tip we paid $ 80 no alcohol. Maybe you need to drink in order to like this place.

No really?
It couldn’t really be Krab with a K in the California roll in my take out order ! !
Sketchy at best.

Absolutely delicious! Their sushi was fresh and buttery in texture. I can’t believe how affordable their prices are either. I feel like I found a hidden gem too!

Great find from fellow Unilocalers! This was everything advertised in all these good reviews.
Sashimi plate is full of large chunks of fresh staple: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, etc. It includes a bowl of soup, and the chef gave me a little app for free on last visit.
Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

This place is better than the average. I have a high standards when it comes to sushi. Getting combo is better than ordering sushi individually. Today I got sushi for two which was 39 dollars. We got so much sushi and I and my husband was very full. For the price I was very satisfied of what we got. Please order combo it is definitely a better deal.

What a nice hidden gem! End cap space means windows all over and seems like a patio. Lunch specials are great deals which include sushi and sashimi plus soup or salad. Enough food to make feel like you just ate lunch (sushi specials ever does that).
All of the sushi and sashimi was very good and tasted very fresh. I’m a mackerel lover, and this was some of the best I’ve ever had. However the super white tuna is unbelievable. Consistency, taste, and color all great.
Service was amazing… and for just a lunch! I highly recommend this place if you want sushi in this area.

Okinawa is new in town and really good. They were doing a photo shoot while I was there for the new menu. The photographer ate the food after taking pics of it — needless to say, I was super jealous.
Salmon was super fresh. I changed some of the rolls up and they gladly accommodated.
Staff is friendly and attentive.
Décor is super modern and elegant. Even the bathroom is pretty.
Highly recommend the roll with mango inside, fresh salmon on top and mango drizzle.
Okinawa is in a strip mall over by the Target where via baci is.

I picked up a to go order today after reading great reviews. I moved here from an ocean town so I really miss great sushi. Not only was the sushi great, but the presentation of the to go order was on par with any sushi bar visit I have had. In addition, the service was outstanding. So friendly for a pick up.
When I arrived back home, my husband agreed with the presentation score, but then shocked me by stating this was the best sushi he has ever had. He rarely joined me at sushi back home and now he falls in love… In Colorado?!?
I am not ready to say it’s the best ever, but it is by far the best I’ve had here. This is a new regular stop and I can’t wait to try more rolls soon.
So Good!

Fresh sushi, Beautiful Presentation, Great selection!
I noticed Okinawa due to its great location on Lincoln near Yosemite in the Safeway Plaza. As we entered we realized this place was not your run of the mill, fly by night sushi stop. (Thank goodness– I’m picky) First, whoever designed it, selected very nice finishes for the space and thought out the space planning well. It’s small, but there is plenty of seating.
Sushi Bar: for such a small restaurant this place has a gorgeous sushi bar! The sushi chefs also thank you and bow when you get up to leave. It’s lovely.
The wait staff is courteous and timely. Menu: This place has something for everyone. I’m a true sushi die hard, and they aim to please! My daughter is vegetarian, and they have a great selection of vegetarian rolls. For the non sushi lover, they have a great menu of teriyaki and other cooked items.
The fish: fresh… The rolls are not too small either. I expected them to be small, since they prices are very competitive! But they make nice large rolls. And they don’t skimp on their fish pieces. The sauces add flavor, yet they do not try to hide poor fish quality with gopping of sauce like some restaurants do.
Overall: I am very impressed and can’t wait to go back next week!

been there twice so far. friendly staff and chefs. sushi and sashimi are both really fresh and yummy and many creative rolls to choose from. Tempura (veggie and shrimp) is so good and not greasy. good varieties of veggies and many shrimps. If they provide grated daikon with the tempura sauce it would be even better. will definately visit again and again and again.

Awesome sushi, beautiful restaurant, great service. This is now my go-​to sushi spot!

Got take-​out rolls a couple of weeks ago — amazing! So fresh, definitely high quality ingredients. It’s maybe early for me to say right now, but I can see this being my new favorite sushi spot. I live less than a mile away, excited to go back to dine in and have the full experience — and try sashimi/​sushi style, or maybe omakase, now that I know they are legit.

I am IN the restaurant at the moment and i am posting a review… loved the food a LOT… service was awesome as well

Amazing new Sushi spot near Highlands Ranch. Quality level as good as any place in Denver. Beautiful presentation matching great flavors. They even have Omakase on the menu.

This place was a Thai restaurant that had absolutely perfect sesame chicken and curry. I haven’t tried the new menu, but the owners are supposedly the same. I really wish they’d add a few items from the old menu to the new setup. Especially the crab Rangoon and sesame chicken. My entire family loved it so much. I’m the only one that loves sushi.

I was so excited that Okinawa finally opened nearby me. I usually go to the one in Littleton until this location opened. This location is smaller but it has the same great tasting sushi and entrees as the Littleton one.
Staff is friendly and very attentive. Sushi is well made with interesting yet delicious combinations. I love their yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, I can eat dozens of them.
Their teriyaki salmon dish is one of my kids favorites as well as their miso soup. I enjoy a lot of their rolls, I just can’t remember the names of them. Haha, I would eat here daily if my bank account allowed it.
Give it a try! You won’t regret it. Wonderful food and service. I simply love it.

These guys are legit. Having grown up in San Francisco, I know ‘real’ sushi. These guys put out masterpieces in Asian cuisine.
If you want to experience the real-​deal in the ‘burbs, make this the place for your date night.

This was previously Thai Orchid and is now under new ownership as a Sushi restaurant. Okinawa is a great little neighborhood sushi spot. We were thrilled with the menu, the freshness of the fish and the overall presentation. The staff is friendly and attentive. It is obvious that they take pride in their craft and they go the extra mile to draw in the local crowd. Totally worth a try if you’re near by.

This is very hard for me to write, because this is a hidden paradise of sushi and I don’t want people to find out about this gem. The sushi melts in your mouth! The staff were great and so friendly. Loved the ambiance!
The 2 appetizers we had were the grill salmon with a lemon sauce and yellow jalapeño — excellent! The rainbow roll was delicious
We’ll be back once a week. Yes, it’s that good!
