Kumoya was an absolute delight to dine at! The service was impeccable, and the food was even better. I made a reservation for three of us on a Friday night, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. The eggplant and pork belly were standout dishes--perfectly juicy and tender. We also enjoyed the rolls, opting for the yellowtail and spicy tuna, paired with a unique wasabi flight. The variety in the wasabi flight added such a beautiful touch to the rolls. I highly recommend trying the pickled wasabi--it's a must if you're ordering sushi here. For dessert, we had the amakaze, which was a stunning and creative blend of flavors. I highly recommend Kumoya for an exceptional dinner experience!

Kumoya offers a unique and upscale dining experience in Denver, with a great vibe and solid service. Our lead server was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is huge, split into three distinct sections. The first is bright and classy, while the second has a more dim, sexy vibe, perfect for a late-night outing or weekend kickoff, there was also a dj set in the room. This area is also connected to the Kumoya bar, which adds to the ambiance. As for the food, the toro tartare was definitely the highlight of the meal. It was buttery, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the fried seaweed to scoop onto added a nice crispy bite. The wagyu tartare was good but didn't stand out as much. The toasted bread and yolk were a nice touch, but it didn't quite compare to the toro. Sadly, the pork belly was a letdown. The slices were too thick and tough to bite into, and I couldn't really taste the sweet ginger soy. The kabocha foam it came with didn't complement the dish as well as I had hoped. The sashimi and nigiri were good, but the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. While the vibe and service were great, I do think it's a little overpriced for what you get. That said, I would come back to try more items and see if other dishes fare better. Definitely worth a visit, but with some room for improvement. If I could I would give this place a 3.5 star rating.

This is a super fun take on a Japanese eatery that serves both sushi and other Izakaya style appetizers with a cool vibe that has several different rooms depending on what kind of scene you're looking for. We got the spicy scallop roll which had a nice combination of flavors, the chicken karaage was pretty good and the sando was amazing. My only gripe is that the final bill just felt way too high considering what we ordered. I would love to come back to a place like this regularly, but it really is just for special occasions at this point.

This place was aaaaaamazing! I havent really been impressed with sushi in denver, but this place definitely impressed me. To start off, their service was fantastic. I made a reservation for the wrong date, showed up, and they were able to get us seated at 9:15 even though the kitchen closes at 9:30. They then moved us to the lounge area for the midnight snacks and DJ. It was beyond fantastic service thanks to Wes, the geneneral manager. He told us not to rush and told us the kitchen knew we were there so we can take our time to order. Our server was also very good vibes, fun, and checked up on us a lot. The food was really good, definitely pricey, but I think worth the money because of superv service as well. The decor was super cute. The drinks were all good. Very light and refreshing flavors, the Hanna was my favorite drink.

Kumoya is the cutest little spot nestled in the LoHi neighborhood, and it's quickly become a new favorite! We hit up this cozy restaurant for dinner around 6:30 PM, and even though it was quiet with just a few tables occupied, the vibe was perfect for a relaxing meal. Parking was a breeze for us--we found a spot right in front of the restaurant, but I could see it being trickier if things got busier. Now, let's talk food, because it was amazing. We went for a mix of appetizers and sushi, and everything was on point. The sushi was divine, seriously on par with the quality and innovation you'd find at Uchi. The Uni nigiri was my personal favorite--so fresh and sweet! But let's be real, the appetizers stole the show. They're served tapas-style, and our waitress recommended three for the two of us, which turned out to be perfect. I honestly can't pick a favorite because each one was a hit. First up, the wagyu tartar came with lightly toasted and buttered Japanese milk bread. The portion was generous, and I could have easily eaten just that and been totally satisfied. Next, the prawns were an absolute delight. The fried shrimp heads? Crispy perfection. I loved how they peeled the shrimp heads, making them super easy to eat. Last but not least, the eggplant dish is a must-try. The savory eggplant topped with flavorful miso and crispy rice was an umami explosion in every bite. Kumoya is perfect for a date night or a girls' night out. I noticed they have a late-night menu, and now I'm seriously wishing I lived closer so I could pop in after hours.

Okayyyyy wow. The vibes here were immaculate, the drinks spectacular and the SUSHHH phenomenal. This may be my new favorite sushi spot in Denver. Our server was so sweet and gave amazing drink and menu recommendations. Some of my favorites that need a shoutout: the toro tartare...one of the best starters I've had. It was so fresh and the flavor was amazing. The salmon tartare roll is now Derek's favorite sushi roll he's ever had. The snap pea drink was so good we ordered FOUR. I've already texted my friends and we will be coming back!

I am obsessed! My fiancée and I came as a special date night treat, and we were so impressed with our experience here. We were able to make a reservation the day before to sit at the sushi bar (all tables were booked!), but we really enjoyed it because we could see some of the sushi chefs making the dishes. One of the first things we noticed was how happy everyone who worked there seemed. They were all joking with each other and seemed like genuinely happy people! Someone who appeared to be the manager also made sure to stop by every table to chat and help pour drinks and clean plates. Having a great working environment for the staff really makes a difference on customers' experiences! We started off with a bottle of sake and their wagyu tartare with Japanese milk toast. It was such a wonderful blend of flavor and texture between the crunchy toast and tartare. The milk toast sometimes overpowered the tartare taste, so I would recommend trying some of the Wagyu tartare by itself to really appreciate its incredible flavor. We then ordered two rolls - the yellowtail and the salmon tartare roll. That salmon tartare roll was IT for me. I felt like that first bite took me into a different world. The avocado added a subtle creaminess that really brought out the taste of the salmon, and the masago and cilantro pieces were perfect additions. Even though we were already full, we knew we had to order dessert after hearing that they had an in-house pastry chef. We ordered the Amazake and devoured every piece up. The blend between the creamy rice ice cream and pistachio purée, the light crunch of the aerated white chocolate matcha, and the moist pandan sponge cake was absolute perfection. I've never had a dessert like this before, and I'm so glad that we decided to try it. I've already told so many friends and family about this delicious restaurant and will be bringing visiting guests here in the future!

I've been here three times and finally, we sat at the bar. While I can't say we paid too much attention to it, it was fun to see the prep. The service was relaxed, not rushed like most places in the US, we could enjoy our food and each other's company. I can't eat sushi anywhere else after coming here. Everything is just so fresh and elegant. You taste the fish and how it's paired is beautiful and complimentary. The drinks are great, the desert was amazing, and I don't have a sweet tooth.
