OG! Do tell! Do tell!!! We'd love to find another good, quality place to try! Parker would be much closer for us than heading downtown!
Hubby and I have been to Sushi Den several times, but while the food is extremely fresh and absolutely top quality, you pay a premium there because it's "the" sushi spot in Denver and all the local celebs and hoity toity types eat there. We also have been to Sushi Mori downtown, which has great, fresh food, not near as big a selection, but MUCH cheaper prices. There's a respectable place near our house called Sushi Wave.... and it's the ONLY strip-mall sushi joint we'll go into... and that's only if we're REALLY having a craving!
We love sushi and sashimi, but we're not willing to try it at any strip mall, mom and pop shop. We'd rather wait and go somewhere that we know has the traffic and the money to buy the best.

Junz. It's off Dransfeldt (all that new construction on the west side of Parker road, sort of behind the Chipotle), phone #: (720) 851-1005 As I recall, it wasn't too expensive for a good meal--think about $30/plate. You can pick and choose from the sushi bar, and they have wonderful meals. It's a great place to go with people who don't like sushi--everyone can be happy. They also have awesome desserts. 
My sister likes Sushi Moori....I know there is someplace else she likes, can't think of the name right now. I'll bug her and see.

Thanks OG! We'll check it out... We need to get some sushi eating friends. Our friends and family won't even listen to us talk about it! My Mom will gag if I even say "eel" to her...
LMAO!!

I love sushi and sashimi! Would eat it all the time if I could. There are some good Japanese restaurants in Vancouver that I used to frequent. Having a harder time finder restaurants here...although the first place I ever tried sushi was at Mikado in Edmonton (gotta go back there!) and loved it from the first try.
I like dimsum as much as sushi...there were a few great Chinese restaurants in Vancouver that served awesome dimsum as well. ;-)

Diphyllobothrium latum, the broad fish tapeworm
"This is the largest (up to 18 m = 60 feet!) tapeworm found in humans. It requires three hosts in order to complete its life cycle:
a microscopic freshwater crustacean, Cyclops
a fish (that eats Cyclops)
a human (that eats raw or undercooked fish, e.g., sushi)
A single worm may discharge up to one million fertilized eggs into its host's feces each day.
Historically, human infection has been most common in countries along the Baltic Coast and in the Great Lakes region. But the growing popularity of sushi and sashimi made of raw Pacific salmon has caused infections by the fish tapeworm to become more common throughout the U.S. "

I wouldn't want to tank any chances on it

:bowing: I knew that at least one of my paranoias had to have a good reason backing them!
Hey, I was serious, too! Discovery had a show on awhile back about a people who obtained IPs from food. Fish tapeworms are, IMO, the nastiest of the nasty. Of course, I list them as among my chief phobias
Odds are, you won't get anything, though.

oh I know you were, and I'm still serious about my paranoias .....I tried it, and it wasn't the worst thing....but uck, I don't think I'll be trying it again anytime soon or ever lol. Calamari (sp?) and any cooked anything I can eat...raw though?
