About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

Izakaya Den is Denver’s popular Japanese gastropub, modeled after the lively after hours establishments found throughout Japan. The restaurant is located on South Pearl Street and is the second restaurant of the Kizaki brothers, founders and owners of Sushi Den.



The menu is arranged in a tapas style, serving traditional Japanese small plates along with dishes infused with international flavors and textures. The more traditional Japanese offerings include sashimi and nigiri, sourced from daily fish shipments from around the globe, along with dumplings and noodle dishes.

We look forward to our next dining experience. Thank you for always making it special and telling us about something on the menu that we may not have tried before, and we have never been disappointed

                                                    I came here four years ago and loved it, and decided to go again during a work trip - no regrets. The mandarin hamachi was my favorite but everything was phenomenal. The vibe, the service, the care regarding an allergy, the food - you can’t go wrong. Reservation highly recommended!

                                                    The crab (spider roll) is excellent. The shrimp dinner (cannot remember the name) was very good and came with truffle mashed potatoes. Those were our favorites, but all of our food was good.

                                                    As usual, the food was fabulous. Lychee martini was a perfect start and we had a great combo of standard sushi (shake, unagi, and spicy tuna roll) and specialty items (tako with cauliflower purée, kanpachi with truffle, and buri belly). Every bite was perfect. Best sushi in town!

                                                    I’ve been to sushi den a number of times and have never been disappointed. We decided to try Izakaya Den and we’re extremely disappointed. The appetizers were mediocre at best and the nigiri was decent. We got one roll (new style salmon roll) was horrible. There were raw veggies on top and way too much going into the role and it felt like it did not work at all. I’m surprised that you would get this from this caliber of a restaurant. I have gotten better rolls from Whole Foods on a weds night. We will not be venturing to Izakaya Den anytime soon again.
