A Look Inside Aoba, LoDo's New Sushi Joint

Grid View

Brothers Ken Zheng and Mike Nakanishi hit some zoning code delays during the last two months of construction at Aoba, but as of this week, the 80-seat restaurant is officially open. Nakanishi, a Tokyo-born chef who cooked in Flushing, NY., before arriving to Denver earlier this year, has crafted a menu of Japanese staples, including sushi, noodle bowls, grilled meats and small plates. There's no word on whether there's a lunch service, but pop in for dinner and try some U.S. Rock Sake, which they apparently stock over Japanese varieties. Hmm.
