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

    We had a wonderful meal. I love the variety of fish. Some I had never heard of before. Some favorites are the Toro and Tuna, Miso Cod, and the Kana (either one). The service is fantastic. Next time I want to try the chefs table.

    As expected, the food and ambiance were excellent. My medium-rare steak was closer to medium-well but the flavors of the sauce made up for the overcook. The sushi and sashimi were excellent and the warm chocolate cake was perfect for my partner's birthday celebration. The restaurant was busy (for a Monday) and we had to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time. We did order drinks at the "wait bar"... they weren't ready until it was time to go to our table. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, but a bit "in the weeds" throughout service. Overall, we had a great meal and enjoyed our evening.

    Mediocre sushi. Fish was freezing. Rice was cold. The salmon tasted like it was from costco.

    Simply amazing! The fish was incredibly fresh (basically melted in your mouth) and everything we tried with helpful guidance from our waiter was outstanding - sashimi, nigiri, rolls. A great first visit and we will definitely be back.

    When you’re spending $100 per person here. Don’t rush the dining experience. Staff is removing plates from the table too quickly. Not even asking! Rude table services. Price gouging is practiced here.
