About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Hot spot
For over 37 years, Sushi Den has been regarded as one of the premiere sushi and Japanese restaurants in the United States. Located in the historic Old South Pearl St. neighborhood in the heart of Denver, CO, the restaurant delivers consistently excellent cuisine made from the finest ingredients from around the world.

Master Chef Toshi Kizaki, the visionary behind Sushi Den, continually raises the bar & sets the standard for the restaurant’s high quality cuisine. Youngest brother, Koichi, lives in southern Japan where he makes daily trips to the fish market to purchase fish for the restaurant. The fish is dry iced and reaches the restaurant within 24 hours. Sushi Den’s mission is to maintain one of the nation’s top sushi restaurants through fresh ingredients, innovative, healthy dishes and exceptional service.

We utilize available seating at both Izakaya Den, our sister restaurant next door, and Sushi Den for all reservations through the Sushi Den portal on

    The nigiri is always perfection and is our favorite. We sadly waited almost an hour for my son’s teriyaki chicken. That was very disappointing as we had to inquire about it a couple of times.

    Well to start off we are frequent customers for over 15 years so I know Sushi Den. We went there recently and it was for 2 birthdays. Everyone in the household for their birthday gets to go to Sushi Den. We usually get complementary ice cream after the meals. This time several things went wrong. 1. 3 out of 4 did not get the dinner salad as per our order. 2. Daughter's Chirashi had bad (spoiled) Ikura. 3. The expected birthday ice cream never came. 3 tables away got birthday ice cream. I made a comment but we were just so angry we didn't want to stick around any longer. 4. The rice (non sushi) was really watery and mushy. Seems like substandard rice or change of the typical rice served there. Usually it is right on par with Sushi Rice served at many Japanese Restaurants. This rice was something you would get at a fast food place. I don't know for sure but seems like maybe ownership changed or something. I have seldom commented on restaurant evaluations, but this needed to be addressed.

    Always fabulous and fresh! The Bento Box is my favorite--a bit of everything, and it's all delicious! Our server Brad was great--conscientious, helpful, efficient, and charming!

    Service… above and beyond! Elizabeth made a birthday an extra special occasion. Our sushi chef Chris was pumping out food like a pro but created a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel like he was our own personal itamae. Osaka Iburi Sockeye Salmon and Iburi Lobster were stars of the show, but every dish was executed BEAUTIFULLY and DELICIOUSLY.
