Sawara Sushi Express - Castle Rock

I'm a bit of a Sushi fanatic and Sawara, in my opinion, is excellent. Everything tastes really fresh and, at this point, I have complete faith that I'll like anything I get. I encourage anyone to try their signature dishes/rolls, such as the Ahi Tuna Tower or Super Lava. Every one of these that I've ordered has been phenomenal. Additionally, my SO has a gluten allergy, and Sawara is quite accommodating for her. They have plenty of gluten-free options, including gluten-free soy sauce. The only downside to Sawara is that it's not a traditional dine-in restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. This is perfectly fine for me, but if you're looking for more of a sit-down service meal, this isn't exactly that.

Amazing is an understatement. The sushi here was absolutely phenomenal. The service was quick and our waitress was so sweet/attentive. Sawara will definitely be our new favorite sushi spot. We will definitely be back!

I really like Sawara. I always order one of their platters and ask for for chef's choice. We always get a good selection of sushi and nigiri, including taking any allergies into account. The staff is always friendly and I've never had an issue with any of my orders.

This is my second review but after years of eating here, I feel that Sawara deserves a recent second round of kudos. They managed to remain open during the pandemic which may have actually saved my life (ok I 'm being dramatic but honestly, it was always a bright spot to go pick up our sushi during a dark time). We have consistently gotten to go from them now for quite a while it 's our Sunday night ritual pretty much twice a month. I cannot say enough positive things about the owners who go out of their way to be friendly, accommodate substitution requests, not to mention making clean, delicious, affordable sushi. We look forward to trying new rolls every time and our menu has some serious miles on it (attached). ...I think it might be time to pick up a new one! Bottom line: if you want great variety, great sushi, great value to feel appreciated for your business, go to Sawara!! I heard they will not be open on Sun/Mon for now due to not having a sushi chef so I hope this gets resolved soon most importantly because how else will we be able to say 'See you tomorrow ' on Saturday??!! Thanks, guys for providing Castle Rock a great option for sushi and for being great people. LOVE YOU MORE!

Absolutely fantastic. Whereas most sushi restaurants serve microscopic cuts of sashimi these days here you still get a great bang for your buck and I've tried more sushi restaurants than I can count
