Okinawa Sushi on Colfax Closes Temporarily for Renovations - What's Next? (2026)

Colfax Avenue's beloved sushi spot, Okinawa Japanese Cuisine, has temporarily closed its doors for a much-needed makeover. The restaurant, a fixture on the avenue since 2010, has been a go-to for East Denver residents and East High School students alike. Head sushi chef Alan Cheng assures customers that the closure is just for a month of renovations, not a permanent goodbye. He explains that it's just a few touch-ups, nothing major.

Okinawa's owner, Xi Yong Zheng, has also expanded his culinary empire with the opening of Ma's Kitchen Dumplings & Noodles, located just a stone's throw away at 1514 York Street. Ma's Kitchen has been a hit, especially on weekends, with its delicious dumplings and noodles led by Chef Xi Nuan Zheng. While Okinawa is taking a brief respite, it's a chance for the team to refresh and ensure the restaurant continues to serve up exceptional sushi experiences.

Stay tuned for more updates on Okinawa's renovation progress and the latest food news from Denver, including the opening of Ma's Kitchen and other exciting culinary adventures.
