We loved Obento when we were in downtown Denver for a long weekend. Fresh, fast service and everything was delicious. You order at the counter, which we really like. The miso soup was some of the best we've had, along with the strawberry slush boba and the 16th street roll was so good. Pictured is the philly with avo. We'll be back!
Delicious and fresh-tasting sushi and rice bowls, very presentable, in a bare-bones strip-mall kind of location with minimal seating.
The place is kinda small and get packed. But the food is hearty but never overwhelming. The slushy and Boba are better than can drinks since the little cooler isn't very cold.
There is not much parking and because it is 16th st mall there isn't good places to park for free. There is alot of homeless everywhere, thankfully not near restaurants.
I agree with the comments on other reviews regarding atmosphere here. It’s a very simple vibe, but it doesn’t affect the quality of food. I do think the other comments about the price are subjective as the prices on the menu range from $4 to $16.95. To me, that’s common amongst sushi and Japanese restaurants. Overall I’m pleased with the quality and agree with the cost of the food.
Nice small & clean restaurant, the kind where, you come in, you order your food, you get it quickly, and you eat in peace. The beef teriyaki bowl is otherworldly, the boba is super good too. Portions are pretty large and excellent value, beef bowl and boba was like 17 bucks combined.
I was in the downtown area for a short stay and found this place nearby to my hotel….tried their bento box meal with rice pork edammame and some juicy sauce which was just so hearty and fresh..Service was quick and food. Great go to place when you’re around downtown.
Ordered the Tofu Teriyaki bowl , it was okay but tasted like they just poured teriyaki sauce over the tofu without sautéing it . Big portions. The green tea boba was good! Nice clean place!
I originally stumbled into this shop while looking for a quick bite to eat. I wasn’t expecting much. But, this place absolutely surprised me. The food is simply delicious and I would recommend you try the beef teriyaki bowl & the pot stickers!
I was only in Denver for a week and I ended up coming back to this place three nights in a row!!
Delicious sushi and ramen options. I had two rolls and both were delicious. Also had the miso soup and it was fresh and comforting. The atmosphere is on the simple side but the good food makes up for it. Highly recommend if you are in downtown Denver.

The best Ramen/ Asian food in downtown area you can find in terms of its price. Sooo fast and convenient. Bento box and Tofu Ramen are both good. Salmon roll is fresh and tasty.
The Tofu can be better if cooked a little: slightly pan friend. Now it's plain without flavor, but in soup it's fine.
