About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Hot spot
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

    Freshest seafood in Denver. Friendly, prompt service. Very nice atmosphere. Always crowded for good reason. This our go-to dining experience for special occasions.

    A fine sushi restaurant, but not worth the hype. My server was dismissive after I asked some questions about the menu, and when pressed admitted that most of the sushi is premade at some earlier time and therefore can’t be modified. I’m from the middle of Wisconsin and we have two local sushi places that are better than “Denver’s finest”. The fish was fresh and tasty but nothing special. The seating is cramped as well. Other than the Uni on the menu you can find anything on the menu at a standard grocery store. I’m legitimately confused as to why it’s so popular. If this is truly the best sushi Denver has to offer I feel bad for the city.

    The service from Su, the waiter, was exceptional as always, but the kitchen service was very slow—they took an eternity to serve dinner. I brought some VIP guests, and while they rated the food as very good, they found the kitchen service to be very poor.
