    Absolutely delicious food; the array of fresh fish was quite impressive, the preparation and presentation perfect. It was a special meal and well worth the price.

    Thank you so much for the warm welcome from the host staff! We sat at the bar with Nate and tried everything we’ve been waiting for since we first moved to Denver. Thanks for helping us celebrate our anniversary this week! Definitely will be back!

    The place lives up to his reputation being the best sushi place in Denver….. full stop. You walk in and you see a massive sushi staging area with 12 Japanese chefs preparing amazing food - probably a really good sign that it’s going to be awesome! The pleasant surprise was the prices weren’t out of control, and they have a nice selection of Japanese whiskeys in addition to a good sake selection  We drove 45 miles to hit this place and it was worth it

    Sushi Den is always far more than going out to eat at a restaurant...truly a culinary experience!

    It was good, but not the best, maybe Denver’s best. It was really hyped up to me so I was expecting it to be some of the best I’ve had but we were not blown away by anything. It was all good, from the drinks to the service and food but 4.9 is crazy
