Uoki

I travel for business and get to eat at a lot of great places courtesy of a nice per diem. But once a week, I go to Uoki. Uoki has been here over 10 years. Both the sushi and the Korean are quite good. In fact, the Korean is excellent. Try the Stone Bi Bim Bob. Kimchi is unmatched. Try for a spot at the bar and talk to the owner, who is from Korea. He always makes sure that everything is just right. Highly recommend.

I was hesitant at first, but pleasantly surprised.
My sister and her husband were only in town for the holiday, so to be able to carve out a dinner, they got to call the location. And so they decided we would eat at the location of their first date. Having remembered many first dates, I was hesitant to say the least. The food was amazing and had great variety. Let me say that we could have definitely gotten away with eating way less (I could have ate less then half what we ordered, but then it wouldn’t be the holidays right?), and been very satisfied. For the table of 4 we had probably 5 rolls and an entrée each (we took their lead as they knew the place (and we didn’t know that they had fasted for a couple days to justify their lunch)). We ordered the holiday roll and the Mt. Rocky (I believe) and those rolls were delicious! I then had their spicy ramen, which was very accurately named, it was spicy and it was ramen. It was very good ramen.
The only thing that knocked this down to a ⁴⁄₅ instead of ⁵⁄₅ unfortunately really isn’t within their power, there is no parking anywhere near the restaurant. I think we found something 3 – 4 blocks away, and I can only imagine how much further we would have to park if the weather were not quite so cold.

I normally don’t trust hybrid fusion restaurants but mark knows his stuff (considering he grew up in Seoul). Decent Korean for the convenience, and the sushi is always fresh with innovative rolls (pumpkin spice?!). Service is hit or miss depending how busy they are, but it’s a nice local establishment.

Sushi is so fresh and fairly priced. Display and matching quality taste makes this a neighborhood favorite for all the authentic Asian taste.

The food was great, but Shannon made the experience worth coming back. His attention, kindness, and 8 years experience here make him the best server I’ve had in years!

Good food, good service. Tempura cheesecake is amazing. Good sushi, great Korean place.

We have been going here for years. It is always delicious. Not only is the Korean food amazing, the sushi is great as well. They have some really unique rolls and we usually order a couple rolls in addition to Korean dishes. The owner and staff are so kind and helpful. It is usually just the owner and one server when we go, they do it all and work really hard. I prefer Uoki to any all you can eat Korean Bbq place. I have noticed a few people complain about parking. Yes, if you drive there you will likely have to park a block or two away, but that it just part of dining in the city so it’s nothing to complain about and no reason to deter you from little gem on 6^th Avenue. I love you Uoki, I wish we still lived down the street so we could come more often!

In town to visit family and stopped by. I am from NYC and have a high standard for sushi — they totally made the mark!!! They also made some of my rolls with cucumber instead of rice upon request which is great for the Paleo diet! The tuna and salmon sashimi was melt in your mouth. I tried a new Korean app and can’t remember the the name but was like a egg pancake with veggies and a delicious sauce. Totally recommend it!
Great for family or date night and has an outside patio.

Absolutely, without question, my go-​to sushi place in Denver. Service is phenomenal, the fish is spectacular, and the environment is comfortable and quiet. Mark, the owner, is friendly and always knows my name when I walk in.
The perfect place for a date or a night with friends. Highly recommended.
PS: try the Tiger Eye Roll and Triple Spicy Roll. Spectacular.

Uoki is hands down my favorite sushi place in Denver, well maybe my favorite sushi ever. Seriously. I’ve never tried a better spicy tuna than the Triple Spicy Roll and I often ask Mark if he’d just move his restaurant to Austin already.
Every time I visit Uoki the staff is friendly and Mark is dedicated to his craft and customers. He constantly switches up the weekly special roll, but is hard for me to stray from my favorites. My top 5 favorite sushi rolls at Uoki are: Triple Spicy, Broncos, Super Dynamite, Holiday and Hopping Cal.
Beyond the phenomenal sushi, I also love a handful of Korean dishes and of course the house salad with top secret salad dressing (which Mark will sell you if you’re nice)! In regards to Korean dishes you can’t go wrong with the Kim-​Chi Soup, Stone Bi-​Bim Bob or Spicy Ramen.
All in all, Uoki is a neighborhood staple to enjoy a beer on the patio during the summer and hot soup in the winter. Mark recently started Happy Hour as well, so there’s always that…
Stop by today and tell Mark I sent you, he loves getting to know his customers.
Enjoy!

The service is fantastic and the food is delicious. The staff is always friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. One of my favorite haunts.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, easy place to have some quality sushi or Korean food, this is a great place to check out.
Service is extremely warm, friendly and attentive.
Pricing is extremely fair for the quantity and quality of food (the quality is above average, in my opinion.)
Atmosphere is very easy going, plenty of seating; always very relaxed.
And finally, arguably the most important facet: the food. It’s great. Above average sushi in Denver. Never had a bad meal here. Honestly, no complaints! Five stars!

After passing by this place and wanting to try it out for many months, my husband and I finally popped in for lunch on a warm afternoon. The inside is fairly warm, so I feel like unless they have A/​C it may be kind of uncomfortable in the summer months. That is literally my only complaint about Uoki though. The service was wonderful and we enjoyed everything we had.
We ended up sharing their special roll of the day, 2 maguro sashimi pieces, and the kimchi jiggae. Even though they are trying to do two different things I think they are doing them pretty well. We’ll be back!

Best salads in the world the homemade dressing is top notch– the consistency in this place is on point
By far my favorite restauraunt in Colorado and I eat out every meal and have tried probley 90% of the restaurants in Denver

Nothing fantastic to review… Pretty decent bibimbap and udon. Staff was super friendly.

Just walk in and sit! Service is quick and place is relatively small so it feels cozy and definitely like a neighborhood business. Sushi rolls are tasty and the Seoul food is also delicious. 3 rolls here are more than enough for two people! Come here for casual dining plus oriental food.
Fair warning-​Hardly any parking around so try to find a spot on Washington or Clarkson!

The place I always thought was called Seoul Food is excellent no matter what the name is. Fresh sushi, delicious Korean comfort food and a great owner named Bruce. To top it all off, there is no line out of the door, so you can get a seat and enjoy your meal in comfort.
My recommendation is to get a couple sushi rolls, of which all are good, and then some bulgolgi to share. What is it you ask? It’s a dreamy plate of beef, smoky and sweet. Try it, you can’t go wrong.
Give this place a shot Unilocalers, just be aware that you’ll be parking on the street, which could be a challenge in that neighborhood.

Great local place! Loved all our food. If you live in Cap Hill do yourself a favor and make this your regular spot.

The sushi I had was a little sub-​par. I’ll bet they do fine with more traditional rolls but as a side, I wanted to taste their more creative side. Flavors were off. For my money I’d go down the street to Mt. Fuji.
The Korean dishes like the Bul-​go-​gi are better and I think they are the reason to come here. I’ve gone a few times and I think this could be bordering on a 4 star place for me but I’d need to have a truly fantastic special roll before it makes the leap.

Ah Seoul food.
Uoki is a great ethnic joint on an unassuming corner. I’ve been nearly a half dozen times and it’s never been very busy. The word really needs to get out about this place: it’s great Korean food!
The stone bibimbap will pass the test for Korean food aficionados and also impress newbies. Make sure to mix up that fried egg so everyone gets some! I’m a huge fan of their kimchi, especially in their kimchi fried rice. It’s so good and spicy!
I haven’t tried the sushi yet, but plan to on my next visit.
Finally, get the barley tea. It’s delightful, especially on a chilly, rainy day. Make sure to let it steep a bit before pouring!

It was about damn time I ventured along my neck of the woods on 6^th Avenue. After admiring Uoki from afar and always saying «We really need to go there» — I finally made my appearance… solo. Not one to usually eat by myself, I felt very comfortable and welcome as I plopped down at the sushi bar in this cozy nook of a restaurant.
I will say, the parking was tough. Only street parking with only one way streets around does not an seamless parking situation make; however once you’re in and sipping on a Korean or Japanese beer — all things get better.
I enjoyed the white tuna sashimi and the classic Korean dish — Sang-​Choo-​Sam. A traditional dish from the Korean countryside, served after a full day of work under the hot sun. Delectable pieces of marinated beef, onion, and rice. Wrap it yourself in lettuce leaves and season w/​spicy Go-​Choo-​Jang sauce. It was delicious and I couldn’t get enough of it. A generous plate of beef that you pile into a lettuce wrap with zesty and savory sauces… yep, I’ll be back for that.
