Kurosawa Asian Bistro

My husband is a fan of sushi so we had been looking for a place that he likes. We’ve tried many different places around Parker and Centennial. Originally this location was suppose to be a Tavern Bar & Grill and we waited patiently for over a year for it to open. Then it seemed like a few weeks and this restaurant opened instead. We were pleasantly surprised the first time we visited. The inside is clean and nicely decorated. I enjoyed the variety of small plates that can be ordered. It gave me a chance to order a salad, tempura and calamari — my favorites. Hubby likes the sushi too so it’s a win win for date night. We’ve been back a few times since and have continued to enjoy it just as much. Good quality food and reasonably priced.

The sushi is excellent, but it was extremely hard to understand our server and she got the order wrong. Other than that, everything was delicious and we will go back.

We came to Kurosawa because 1) didn’t feel like waiting for izakaya and 2) wanted to try someplace new. This place was so good! I got the tristar sashimi entrée which came with three forms of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail (sashimi, sushi, and roll). The sashimi was very nicely thick cut and fresh. The husband got the yaki udon which was a little too much sauciness but his rolls were very good.

We came in on New Year’s Eve with no reservation. We were sat right away and the only other seats available was at the sushi bar. Our waitress was a rock star. Attentive, nice and full of great suggestions. She apologized for the time it was taking and we assured her it was not a problem. We ordered the Lovers Boat (a ridiculous amount of sushi, sashimi and rolls for $ 50– highly recommended). The quality has never been anything less then wonderful every time we visit. If you want great sushi and are in the Parker area this is a must!

Very fast and friendly service. Nice selection of sushi and everything we had was good. Nice little restaurant.

After moving to Colorado from New York this year, I wasn’t expecting to find a good sushi restaurant after being so spoiled with some of the best in NYC. It only took me a week to find this place and it instantly became my go to place. My boyfriend and I either dine in once a week or call for take out. I highly recommend getting their yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, Tokyo roll, Kurosawa roll, Sumo roll and Crazy Dragon Roll.

I love sushi and they have excellent sushi here! That’s all I have to say about that…

this place, tucked away in Parker, is really good. Lots of sushi choices — including the jalapeño yellowtail appetizer in a spoon (the sauce is wonderful) and the Kurosawa Roll… OMG, I could live on these two rolls. The yellowtail sashimi is excellent quality.
Great for a neighborhood sushi restaurant.

Have dinner with my boyfriend at my favorite place… KUROSAWA…reccomment this place.

Really really good, food was awesome and service matched, great setup and will definitely go back and take friends with me.

Great sushi in a strip mall (what else is there in Parker?) location. Large slices of fresh fish for both the sashimi and sushi.
Service was fine but it was late in the lunch hour and only two other tables occupied.
Very good value; prices are in line with other sushi joints.

We love our local sushi spot! Great atmosphere and service. The sushimi is so fresh and they are fairly priced. Went to a well known sushi place on Pearl Street and thought our little Kurosawa spot was equally as good and so much closer.

Let’s get the bad out of the way real quick. The sashimi tasted like it was cut with a clumsy knife. The pieces were chunky and the cuts were inconsistent. The way that it was preserved also raises a flag. No, the sashimi was fresh by all means but many restaurants will use salt and vinegar to preserve the fish. They also need to use more vinegar in their sushi rice. I picked up my nigiri with my chopsticks and the rice fell apart almost as fast as long grain rice.
Let’s continue with the rest of the review. Amazing service and seat selection. Our drinks were constantly refilled and the entire staff (waitress included) joked around with us. They made recommendations even though we already knew what we wanted to order. We ordered the crispy duck egg rolls and the Loveboat for 2. Crispy duck egg rolls were not crispy by any means and the taste was A-​OK. However, after seeing this dish, I bet I could make it at home and elevate some of the flavors. A rainbow roll and Yama roll accompanied our Loveboat for 2. Their rolls are EXCELLENT and now I know this is what I need to come for next time. Yes, there will be next time sans sashimi/​nigiri. Even their miso soup and salad was top notch as well. I’ll drive the distance for service and quality any day!
These are the most quiet sushi chefs I have come across. No greeting and a quiet thank you when we left. However, they were super busy! The restaurant has a modern chic feel to it but they keep the customer in focus which is important. The restaurant is in a strip mall next door to Little Ceasar’s and a nail salon. Don’t let this fool you. Definitely off the beaten path when it comes to sushi restaurants. I would still highly recommend this place. They do a great job. I’ll be looking forward to my next visit!

Beats some Sushi places Ive been to in thr past in Denver/​Boulder area. Really good sushi! Appetizing presentation and good quantity! We loved it. We’re coming back!

I never understood how these places get such high ratings. The funny thing is, it is good looking restaurant, attractive décor, decent service but the food is just decent — in a positive type of way.
I certainly would recommend to try this place and walk away with your own opinion.
The Kurosawa salad was delish, rolls are typical American style rolls that are tasty.

There was something hard that nearly cracked my tooth in my tuna roll. I won’t be returning.
I had been here once for dinner and thought the sushi was quite good, but a bit expensive. We liked the ambiance. I looked forward to returning.
Because I had a good experience, my friend and I went for lunch. The prices and selections were good. The server was unfriendly and seemed to really want to be anywhere else but there, but she wasn’t rude so we didn’t fret about it.
My diet sodapop tasted a bit like saltwater, clearly not enough syrup. But it was the right color, my friend and I were enjoying our conversation so I said nothing about that.
When we received our order, they had my friend’s order wrong. But they set it down quickly and disappeared. We had to wait for them to return so she could point out that was not what she ordered. They didn’t apologize for the mix up but they did replace her roll very quickly.
Halfway into my meal, I was eating my tuna roll which was tasty and I bit down and my molars hit something really hard. I think it was more than a bone. It didn’t yield at all. I spit it out onto the plate. Even though I was still hungry, I was scared to eat more. My teeth weren’t cracked although I bit hard enough that they hurt mildly for a few hours after that.
I didn’t want to make waves at the restaurant but I figured they’d want to know there was something hard in my soft fish. I told the waitress and showed her the chewed up piece I’d spit back out. She seemed shocked, took the plate away but didn’t apologize on behalf of the restaurant.
The waitress returned with our bill and asked us if we would like to take the leftovers home. I would have liked to have eaten them there but I just couldn’t convince myself to after nearly cracking a tooth so we both passed on the leftovers.
I just wasn’t impressed with the service. I left feeling like they thought I was a huge inconvenience and they didn’t want me there at all.

Absolutely delicious sushi! Puf friends suggested this place to meet for dinner and we couldn’t be happier. Kurosawa actually had oh toro, which is my favorite! I don’t recall the rolls they ordered but they were all delicious. I just wish I had more stomach real estate. Pricing is competitive.

Gotta give them another star now — I came back a few more times and they’re doing really well here. This place is the cleanest restaurant in town from the seating, tables and dinnerware. The presentation is extremely crisp and the staff is very nice and accommodating and you get a nice semi full size cloth towel to wash up with beforehand.
I really like their peppered tuna sashimi as well as their specialty rolls. I think you get more value here than you do at Junz actually, especially when you factor in their $ 10 coupons and there’s no minimum purchase. They’re okay my book!

We came in, an there is another patron having his Lunch. We opt to be seated at one of the booth. The décor inside this establishment is modern and everything is clean and tidy. If I am NOT mistaken the time was about 12 NOON.
Once again, another Sushi establishment which do not have UNI on a Monday! *Sigh*
In terms of sushi its small portion, err NOT to my liking **DOUBLE SIGH**…
The service was good, fast and prompt… If I am NOT mistaken, our server her name is May.
From their extensive Menu, I ordered the following Sushi/​Nigiri Items :
* UNAGI ($ 5.00)
* Tamago ($ 4.00)
* Ama Ebi ($ 7.50)
* Spicy Scallop ($ 7.00)
The Lunch is doable BUT NOTHING WOW me as much… maybe I will return next time and order the sashimi and perhaps from there my review might differ… there are other sushi items I can order or even other dishes from the Menu that might call my name the next time…
My friend opt to have the Sexy Roll and the Maya Roll or something, too bad I cannot recall what is what… then she also ordered the Steak Habachi stir fry etc. Overall, my friend likes what she ordered for the Lunch she had. She also offer some of the Sushi Rolls and the Steak Habachi Stir Fry. YES, I cannot deny the Steak is super juicy. but I AM HERE To Eat Sushi. Oh well.
Its more like an underwhelmed experience… coz I don’t fancy the rice from the Sushi/​Nigiri itself, something wrong with the rice in terms of «texture» and «flavor»… Maybe I went to Kurosawa on a «bad» day. Coz I heard raving reviews from my friends who live around this area. Oh well, another Sushi establishment that is just OK in my books. Though personally its more like a 2.5 star Review. *Sad Face*
This recent visit was on Monday November 17^th 2014. I wanted to order some desserts. The desserts are those of «Restaurant» quality aka PREMADE. from another Company. Oh well…
Left Kurosawa at about 12:55hrs ish.

«There is nothing that says more about its creator than the work itself.»
― Akira Kurosawa
That statement seems to be quite reflective of the philosophy of this restaurant. Our food on this visit was as beautiful as it was delicious. My friends went with a variety of sushi. We saw the platter being constructed at the sushi bar, but assumed that it was for a different table, as it seemed too elegant for us. But, indeed, it was ours. My friends really enjoyed the sushi.
I split the tempura appetizer with them. It was very nice. It came out piping hot (a big ouch to impatient us), and was very crunchy and tasty. It also had two large shrimp, instead of just one, which was a nice touch. I was not really in a sushi mood, so I asked the waitress what was popular among the other entrees. She indicated the hibachi steak, so I went with that. The meat was very tender and flavorful, with grilled veggies on the side, and I upgraded to a solid scoop of friend rice. The meal also came with soup and salad. The soup was a mild miso. The salad was some nice greens coated with an excellent ginger dressing. In some ways (good ways) this was not unlike a solid Teppanyaki meal. I washed it all down with a cold Asahi beer.
The unfinished «Tavern» location in Parker never quite opened. There were rumors of not properly securing building permits and thus incurring the everlasting wrath of the town officials, but nothing concrete. For a couple years, I could literally walk out the front door and see this empty storefront peaking across the street from behind two houses at the end of the block. Sadly, our suburban dream of a bar within walking distance was never quite achieved. And although I no longer live near here, my friends still do. The good news is that Kurosawa Asian Bistro opened in this location that had been vacant for too long. I am glad that there is an Asian restaurant of this caliber in plain old Parker.
