    The hostess was very friendly and helpful when we called the day of to modify our reservation. We were seated as soon as we arrived which was great because we were actually early. The service was nice and relaxing which we appreciated- despite it being a Saturday night and the restaurant being packed, we didn’t feel like we were rushed through dinner which made for a nice experience. The only issue we had was with the service at times. Our server did not refill our drinks and did not seem to check up on us as often as he should have. Admittedly, we did have a higher standard for the level of service we expected given the high price tag of the food. However, I would argue that the quality of the food justifies the prices. Overall, we had a great experience. Amazingly, Sushi Den has not changed at all and has consistently been an outstanding establishment for over 25 years.

    Fantastic food. Calamari steak fabulous. Tempura batter is so light and non-greasy. My favorite sushi restaurant.

    Hard to believe a landlock sushi restaurant would be just as good as a coastal sushi restaurant but this experience was great. Can’t wait to go again.

    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
