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 Open Table.

    This experience was wonderul minus ONE thing. I had reservations for three people, two of which were driving up from Colorado Springs. They hit a little traffic, so I went to check-in for our reservation, so I’d at least be on time. Once I checked in, they said they wouldn’t seat me until at least one other person in my party showed. So I stood by the hostess stand…waiting. Then they asked if I wanted to sit at the sushi bar. I declined because what I wanted was to be seated. They weren’t going to give my table away and with a reservation, why couldn’t they just seat me? Am I being a “Karen”? Perhaps. But it didn’t make sense. If it hadn’t been for this one thing, I would absolutely had a 5 star experience.

    Attention to dietary and celebration notes in reservation. This is an improvement in service on the front end from past years. Excellent fish and cooked dishes. Beautiful presentation.

    Sushiden is never less than stellar. Senior Server Su managed my Omakase dinner with the skill and subtlety of a chef. Perfect in every detail (except for the woman at an adjoining table who wore perfume by the bottle, the first time in more than a dozen years that I've dealt with such a situation there; a situation that Su handled by moving me to another seat without a hint of problem) perfection down to the last molecule! Thank you, Sushiden!

    Overall happy! We did mention we were celebrating a birthday on our OpenTable reservation and that was not acknowledged - so was a little bummed as we didn't want to just announce it to the wait staff. Ambience was loud and tables so close together we kept bumping into other diners. Food was very good!

    great food as always. The Black Cod is fantastic. Lots of upselling by the waiter and he did a bait and switch with the Sake. Order a lower priced bottle and he brought/charged us for a higher priced bottle. both are written in Japanese, so we couldn't tell the difference until we got the check.

    I had requested prior to our arrival a seat at the sushi bar on the Sushi Den side. I also said we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. We got there & the hostess tried to put us at a table-not the bar. And then there was no mention of my husband’s birthday celebration—at all!!! I mean??? The best was the gentleman sitting right next to us got all the birthday treatment for his special day…kind of crappy.

    Our experience was amazing except the service. We are used to go in this restaurant for birthday because we love their food. The waitress did not told us what fish they have like they usually do, she just handed us the menus. She came back for our drink just after we were seated and she just gave us water. She did not read what we wrote on our paper order, maybe had difficulty to understand English. We reminded her that I was allergic to salmon. The persons who delivered the food were great. The waitress was coming every 10 minutes to ask us if everything were fine… Also, I don’t under why she did not offer the dessert my husband chose and gave us a complimentary Yuzu ice cream that we did not ordered.

    We had a WONDERFUL experience dining with Sushi Den/Izakya Den. We came in about a month ago & had an unsavory experience due to other patrons dining that night. Long story short, we left that night without getting to experience any of the amazing food Sushi Den has to offer. The staff was beyond gracious & accommodating that night & after, in order to ensure my partner & I would be able to come back & have an enjoyable evening. Well we came back this past Sunday & we’re blown away by the hospitality & kindness of all the staff. One of the managers even stopped by to reassure us that our previous experience was not the norm at the this restaurant. With that being said, the food was spectacular! Truly some of the best sushi we have had in Denver! We sat at the sushi bar & loved watching the sushi perform his craft. We will certainly be back!! Thank you to all the staff we interacted with!

    The food and service here was incredible. This was our second visit here, first time at the sushi bar and this time at the table. While different experiences, guidance from the servers was right on mark. Would come here every time we're in Denver. The one down side and why I didn't give this a 5 straight across, was the valet service, which is almost a necessity as parking can be difficult in the neighborhood. The valet person was so rude and nasty and made it clear that he wasn't going to take our car as was too busy. Did report it to the restaurant, but they might want to think about getting a different valet service.

    Food was great and so was ambience. Was having a good time when the server told us our section was being closed because it was “slow”. It was 8:10. He asked if we needed anything else right as we had gotten our food. Felt like we couldn’t get any more drinks or dessert after we ate. Just felt rushed after that. We aren’t from Denver and had been planning to eat here for a few months and were excited so this was a bummer.

    Server was more interested in running up our tab than doing the right thing. Charged for a Birthday dessert he offered and $35 for a repasado when we requested Casamigos. What should have been a $120 tab ended up being $175. Monitor your tab. I’ll be disputing ours!
