Sushi Katsu

I’ve had my fair share of «AYCE» sushi places, back in Omaha. There were a few, with only a couple being worth a fish skin. Being new to the area, and having some time on my hands, I decided today was «Treat Yo Self 2016»! I had done my research (Googled and Unilocaled the category) and saw that I lived a few mintutes from a sushi place that would let me bash my open mouth against a table of endless sushi. I slapped on my eating shorts, complete with an adjustable waist band, and headed out. I short drive down Havanna, and just north of Iliff, I arrived around 515pm, since they start offering the dinner menu after 430. The dinner menu has a bit more to offer and I wanted to experience this place for all it had to offer. From what I saw when I pulled in, everyone else felt the same. It was packed. People were waiting outside. I parted the sea of people and found a «Can I Help You» to take down my name. I was traveling in a large group of one, so I let them know I would be very ok with a seat by the sushi bar. 15 minutes later, I was where I wanted to be.
So, at first glance, the place isn’t huge, but it seems like the perfect size. It didn’t feel cramped at all. It fit the rush. It was busy but not chaotic and it was easy to move about. I was seated by the sushi bar, my own lil corner of it. I had an empty spot next to me, so I figured it would be my «extra storage» area. I was given my sushi list, and saw a lot to catch my interest. It was a pretty good selection of your standard issue salads, apps, rolls and such. Some were things I’d never seen, so you know I ordered it. What really got me all hot and beefy was this lil box, on the bottom right, that had the instructions that said I could write in «regular sushi item from the menu at no additional charge». Ok… what? I took this as any roll in the entire menu was fair game. I asked the server, and sure enough, if I wanted a roll from the full menu, that wasn’t on the little paper, just write it in and it will be mine… all mine.
I ended up ordering 6 rolls, some baked jalapeño thing, an octopus salad, a hot dish called The Dynamite, and some choice nigiri. I had no complaints eating almost all of this. I may have left a couple bites left, but I really enjoyed what I had. Was it the best I have every had. No. They tasted good, though some had some flimsy construction. A couple fell apart in my hands. Other than that, all the components tasted fresh, the nigiri had a nice texture, and the rice was pretty good too. Some rolls weren’t my favorite but I didn’t not like them. They weren’t bad, they just weren’t working for my personal tastes. Not a complaint.
Service was good, giving how hectic things were. I didn’t mind the wait at all, being as I expected some sort of a wait on a Saturday night. My water stayed full, as I recieved my train of food. At one point it did get a little overwhelming because it all came at the same time or in close proximity. Lesson learned for the next visit.
So, in closing, I can say I approve this place. Sure it’s not the end all, be all, of the best sushi this town has to offer, but I’d have zero reservations as to put it on the top of my go to list of places to get my sushi fix. With a slightly under $ 30 bill, for one person, you really can’t go wrong!

I hate to say it, but I think I might be done here. I stopped by last week for a quick bite while I was out and about and it was just OK. However, one thing really sticks out that bothers me and I thought everyone needed to know about it. I was sitting at the bar on the roll side and one of the sushi chefs reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone. His hands were still gloved for food prep and he started swiping and poking at the screen. He saw me looking at him and shoved it back in his pocket and with the same gloved hands, started to handle food again. He has a piercing through his cheek, so I hope that if the management or health department reads this, you can identify him. Cell phones are covered in germs and filth and that filth went on to the next order he prepared. I stopped eating and left. I didn’t get sick, but that was disgusting. If you’re handling food, you need to take that seriously. This person does not take what he does seriously. Be warned before you eat here.

Really good sushi for a very reasonable price.
I like their specialty rolls.
Service is fine, but there is a long wait to get seated on the weekends and at lunch time. It’s worth the wait though.

I come here every so often, especially when my buddy is in town. I absolutely love this place and it is so inexpensive at only $ 15 for all-​you-​can-​eat during lunch. It’s one of the best sushi spots in Colorado and will easily get your money’s worth and is made as you order. The only problem with this spot is very minimal, it’s a fairly small location and doesn’t have as much room but the delicious food makes up for it. The unagi and bbq beef is one of the best things on the menu.

Never have I ever had such crappy service at a sushi place in Denver until I went here. We got seated right away however it took our waitress more then 15 mins to get our drink order in. After that we got them delivered by another waitress.
We were finally able to place our first order of all you can eat sushi. It was disappointing to get our sushi before the appetizers. That’s where everything went sour.
Imagine getting sushi that has cold rise and the fish is room temperature. Some pieces actually smelled fishy!
After each plate that came it was quickly picked up and then we sat for 10+ mins awaiting on the next dish. Now I understand it’s cooked to order but when you have 5 sushi chefs and three of them were just standing around and a restaurant is only a third way full this is just insane. We spent a total of an hour and half there. We didn’t even bother ordering more, the first order was more then plenty of this crazy service and smelly sushi.
If you want good sushi go somewhere else!
Gas station sushi is better then this place.

This is my number one place to eat sushi! Whenever I had to eat sushi before knowing about this place, I always would spend nearly $ 100 to get my fill of sushi. Not anymore! For $ 25 ($ 15 for lunch and limited menu) Sushi Katsu provides me with a happy and full belly every time I eat here! The quality of the sushi is very good as well!
For those worried about being sick at an all-​you-​can-​eat sushi place… I have never been sick at all! Eating here over a dozen amount of times. The only problem would be overeating a few times when my eyes were bigger than my stomach. If you do not finish what you order, you will get charged for the food not eaten. I don’t know what exactly, but please just be smart with what you and your party order and don’t be mad when you are charged because you couldn’t finish what you ordered. That being said, expect there to be a wait, since the restaurant itself is pretty small and every time I have gone for dinner, the place was always packed!
I love eating here because you’re not limited to just sushi, at least for the dinner. You can also get appetizers, other entrees, such as teriyaki chicken or beef. This works perfectly if you’re like me and like to switch up flavors and textures throughout your meal or just crave another menu item to eat.
There were also great drink specials going on at times as well, just ask your server. Highly recommend this restaurant! One of my all time favorites to eat at here in the Denver Metro area! :)

We showed up just after 6 on a Friday night. Our wait was about 15 minutes as it is on the small side. We were apprehensive to come, as we had previously gone to the other location for lunch and were told if we wanted «fancy» rolls it would be an extra $ 3.50 per roll on top of the AYCE price. Our friends love it here so we decided to give it another go. Glad we did! Jenny, our server, was fantastic. Funny, attentive and very nice. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Nothing fishy tasting. We normally don’t order sashimi because of this but we ordered a few different ones and they were fantastic. At $ 25 we’ll definitely come again for the excellent quality.

I keep going back!!! Absolutely the best, and most consistent place to eat quality Sushi! The food is always super fresh! Sashimi will melt in your mouth.
The staff is attentive and the service is fast!!! Never once have I been disappointed! Go early… they are always busy and the seats fill up in a hurry! Great all you can eat deals too!

This place is sooo good. For the price, its pretty much the best in Denver surrounding. SO FRESH! The environment is huge and spacious and the service is impeccable! And all you can eat for 13.95! are you kidding me! This place is a must try.

Cool place for sushi all you can eat. I am enjoying this place every two or three months with my family.
Sure. Recommend to my friends as it is very low budget on their quality. Lunch around $ 15 and dinner $ 25…super deal.

Delicious good service and a good variety at dinner for all you can eat.
We particularly like the white tuna nigiri, gyoza, lobster and albacore miso rolls.
I like the servers at the Aurora location better than the Arapahoe (probably because we’ve been here more often)

My family and I came here to eat the all you can eat buffet. We came here 3 years ago and absolutely loved the quality service but this second time, we were appalled by the poor service. For $ 100 for our bill, this was absolutely terrible.
1. We waited for our food for a good 40 minutes before a simple salad came out.
2. What shocked us the most was when The waitresses pushed our table next to another table whilst we were sitting there without asking us. Both parties were uncomfortable as we were literally touching arms with the other party next to us.
3. When we went to the bathroom, the toilet was clogged and below par the health standards.
4. It took us 4 waitresses to get our check after waiting 20 minutes for it.
In short, we will NOT be coming back. The service was a disaster! Bad service, rude waitresses. And very crowded space.

Well, my fellow Unilocalers were spot on about this place. For starters this establishment looks like a dive and the seating is a little cramped. However the sushi is EXCEPTIONAL, my wife and parents thoroughly enjoyed our meal waaaayyy too much. We got the all you can eat sushi dinner, with this selection you can order anything but about four rolls off their menu. Beware if you don’t finish it all you will pay extra for your unfinished food! Great place we will be back!

What more could you ask for, AYCE sushi to order!?! Seriously not the stuff they make and set out for you to grab thus is made to order. Hell yes count me in! Service is always on point, the waitresses are always friendly and helpful. The sushi chefs are entertaining. The selection of sushi and other items are vast including tempura, teriyaki, short ribs, miso, salad, edamame, etc. Try the fried tofu! Yum! There is literally something for everyone to enjoy. I’ve been for both lunch and dinner and both are good. There are specialty rolls available for dinner that aren’t a part of the lunch option but you will have plenty to choose from no matter when you go. I like the simple sushi choices but we did have the Lady in Red which was a spectacular presentation.

A great find and one of the first places I went to when I moved to Colorado two years ago. It was the first time I had ever been to an all you can eat sushi place. This place used to offer an online 15% off coupon, but I guess they started losing money on it and had to stop it. Even at full price this place is well worth it!
All of their sushi tastes fresher than most of the other all you can eat sushi places in the area. My favorite is the unagi nigiri (eel on rice with eel sauce). It’s fun to go with a group, a couple of friends, or even by yourself. You can sit at the sushi bar and watch them prepare your meal which was cool to watch.
You put in a written order by marking off what you want. I think the majority of the times I go they lose track of a few of my orders. This isn’t much of a big deal cause you can always order more. Just becareful cause I’ve done that and gotten twice the amount I wanted since there was a double order.
The wait staff has always been very friendly and I hardly ever see the bottom of my glass. We’ve come in at 2:00 a couple of times right when they do last call and just order a large one time order. If you go right when they open you get your food a lot faster though, and are given more attention since there are less people. At dinner they have a larger menu and can order any roll on the real menu for free. The dinner all you can eat though is more expensive.
This will probably continue to be one of my favorite places to go to for all you can eat sushi.

Not only the best all-​you-​can-​eat Sushi restaurant, but one of the top Japanese and sushi restaurants in the city, with prices that easily make it the most affordable for it’s prices.
I love Sushi, and Sushi Katsu does not compromise quality just because of the quantity. I’ve eaten at Sushi Katsu dozens of times since finding it in 2012, and have never had a bad experience with the food, the staff or the service.
From the all-​you-​can-​eat menu I highly recommend the tuna nigiri and the octopus, which are always very fresh and flavorful. From the maki rolls, try the rainbow roll or tuna and scallions. When the white fish is available, give it a try even if you are not a ‘fish’ person, it’s a very subtle flavor with a buttery texture.
The only criticisms I have is the limited and often cramped seating space, as well as the frequent difficulty in getting a reservation/​name on the list when the place is really busy.
It is worth the wait, but I would recommend calling ahead by at least a half hour to have your reservation made, and get your name on the list, you will be much happier when you show up and get to skip the line outside.
Pro-​tip: If you are all alone for lunch, or maybe just two people, ask to be seated at the sushi bar, spots clear out pretty quickly, and the larger parties never want to be seated in a row along the sushi bar.

AYCE! That’s the way to go at this place. They allow you to pretty much order anything off the menu, except certain type of rolls. My brother took me here last night and I really enjoyed it The quality of the sushi is pretty good, not the best, but what do you expect from a place that offers all you can eat! The rolls were neatly done and the food tastes good. The service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy that night. I like the variety that you can chose from. You can order any appetizer, soups, etc. I would recommend this place for a good night of sushi smashing. Give this place a try!

Can you say All-​You-​Can-​Eat sushi?
Sushi Katsu, where have you been all my life? Oh wait, just down the road from the apartment I lived at for 5 years and now too far for me to go regularly. But maybe that’s a good thing; I sure don’t need to be stuffing my face with delicious sushi until I need to switch to my Thanksgiving pants.
Is it the best sushi in town? No, but it is still pretty darn good! $ 15 for AYCE for lunch. I’m sold and will be back!

Fast service. All you can eat. At good prices. Perfect ratio of slices of fish to rice in nigiri portions. Jesse ate too much fish and it was bad but the waiters were very good about cleaning the mess. They took their shirts off too, which was nice.
Very good deal for the $ 24 a person. Go during dinner. Bye.

Sushi buffet say what? How can someone not like sushi buffet. Sushi katsu is a cute and homey restaurant where you can get some decent sushi and other delicious Japanese food for a very reasonable price. With tip and tax, my total came out to $ 15 because I found a coupon that was 15% off lunch buffet which ends at 2:30pm. Make sure if you are going for lunch or dinner not including Saturdays, you have the coupon printed and ready!
My favorite sushi are the salmon skin and spicy tuna. They come out delicately decorated with a sweet sauce on top of this wooden flat tray. I also got miso soup which was warm and delicious on a snowy day. I personally really liked the chicken fried rice but my boyfriend thought it was too sweet. I liked the sweet taste and the texture of the chicken. In addition, i tried the fried tofu and combination tempura which I thought was alright. A bit greasy to my likely. I absolutely adored the scallop nigiri. It’s a creamy scallop mix on top of white rice wrapped with nori. Oh, and the edamame was nice as well. Basically, just go hungry and try everything you think you might like! That’s the beauty of a buffet, you don’t need to read about what I enjoyed, go try it for yourself!
I would definitely come back for lunch! Not to mention the service was excellent around 2pm on a weekday =) food came out like magic, super quick. i was so happy =)
