Best Japanese Restaurants in Thornton

Went on Valentine’s Day for dinner. As expected the place was super packed and really backed up which lead to some very upset customers. Throughout all that chaos the servers remained extremely friendly and hustled hard. Food was phenomenal and we greatly appreciated our experience.

Ocean Prime delivered an exceptional dining experience for Valentine’s Day. The food was nothing short of outstanding, with every dish crafted to perfection. Our server was not only attentive but also had impeccable recommendations, ensuring we got the best of both the menu and the night’s drink specials. While the restaurant was busier than expected, and the noise level was a bit higher than ideal, it didn’t overshadow the quality of the meal or the overall experience. If I had to rate it, I’d confidently give Ocean Prime a 4.7 out of 5—an excellent choice for a special occasion or an upscale night out.

Music volume was perfect, bunch of chill EDM playing that we loved AND the food and service was spectacular. Special call out to the Tiramisu / Sakura variant!

My husband took me for my birthday 2/10 and we got omakase dinner! Everything was phenomenal and just as great quality fish as what we tried in Japan! Pricey but worth it for a special occasion ❤️✨🥂

Matsu consistently has great food. The flavors are always original and everything is so fresh. The wait staff are all so knowledgeable, professional and helpful in picking perfect food.. in our party of 4, they really took care of our one gluten free diner to make sure each dish was modified and explained what they did. Thank you for another fun, delicious dinner.
