Sushi Train

On South Locust Street in Denver, Sushi Train has become one of the city's most beloved sushi institutions — the kind of place Denver natives make a point of visiting every time they're back in town. The concept is simple and deeply satisfying: a real conveyor belt sushi bar where your order is delivered by an actual miniature train, creating one of the most fun and memorable dining experiences in Colorado.

But Sushi Train is far more than a gimmick. Regulars who have traveled to high-end sushi restaurants across the country keep coming back and say the rice is simply on point — that subtle, signature detail that separates good sushi from great sushi. The fish is fresh, the rolls are creative, and the portions are generous.

The All-You-Can-Eat option is the main draw for many guests. Crucially, the AYCE dinner includes premium specialty rolls — not just the basics. The Dragon Roll, Broncos Roll, Volcano Roll, Beef Lover Roll, and the legendary Fried California Roll are all on the table. Guests describe the experience of a full platter of 20+ nigiri arriving tableside as genuinely unforgettable.

Beyond sushi, the menu covers hot Japanese mains — teriyaki, udon noodle soups, yakisoba — and a full lineup of appetizers from gyoza and baked mussels to soft shell crab. The dessert highlight is the Tempura Ice Cream (fried banana and ice cream), which has become a beloved birthday surprise from the kitchen. The staff is consistently described as warm, attentive, and welcoming to families and regulars alike. This is a true Denver gem.
