    My friend just moved from Downtown Denver to over near this spot. Being a foodie one of my first questions is, "so what's good to eat around here?" He immediately suggested Sushi Den off Pearl as the go to spot. We had eaten at Temaki Den several times which is one of my favs when I visit. So I was all in. It did NOT dissapoint. Not only was the sushi top quality, but they had a wild selection of unique fish, and approaches to classic combos. We had some amazing Sake to pair with it. The server was outstanding and met us at our goofy level joking with us just the right amount. It's a beautiful restaurant with modern design and just casual enough where you don't feel like you have to be dressed to the 9's. Pearl street in general is very quaint and homey and walkable. I definitely recommend checking it out!!

    If I could give this experience 10 stars, I would. We enjoyed one of the most memorable meals I've ever had and I truly can't recommend it enough. From the start, Lewis made this meal a delight and walked us through the catch of the day menu with thoughtful details. Getting to learn so much about the origin of the fish and the details behind the ingredients made the night so much more interesting and special. His recommendations were phenomenal and so good that we ended up ordering seconds of three of the items. I even ordered a yuzu gin martini on his recommendation (and I don't like gin) and that was delicious, too. We ended the night with a palisade peach tart that was the perfect sweet finish to a perfect meal. My best recommendation is to come to sushi den and order as much of the catch of the day menu as your table can eat. You won't regret it. Also, we can't say enough good things about Lewis. The evening wouldn't have been the same without the attentive service, kindness, great recommendations, and overall wonderful energy.

    Hands down the best nigiri I have ever had in my life. If ever you're in Denver, Sushi Den is an absolute must. It definitely requires reservations- but it's worth it. We tried it ALL. Not a single thing was remotely fishy - all of it top quality. The service was wonderful and they coursed it out for us so we could try everything freshly made. Parking wasn't easy - but the restaurant is very cute.

    Service was great! So attentive. The food was as good as I had hoped. The place is lovely and on theme. Parking is awful to find on your own but they do have valet. If you have a group including ASL users it might be helpful to ask for a four top table with a chair on each side. We forgot to ask and being at a table with two on one side and two on the opposite side made it a little uncomfortable to turn and sign. Definitely coming again. The food was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. I would never order eggplant on my own but my friend insisted and it was spectacular.

    We went there for our oldest son's birthday, his and his now fiancée's engagement and my husband and my 30th wedding anniversary yesterday. The waitress was Setsuko and she was so sweet and attentive the whole time we were there. She even gave us really good desserts with the candles which made us so special! The food was so delicious as always. We had nasu miso ( miso flavored eggplant) and grilled skewered beef, both of them were amazing then guys had nigiri with some rolls sets girls had chirashi, they look pretty and tasty!! We were so filled with great food and great hospitality. We will definitely go back there again!!

    The appetizers and sushi we got were definitely good, but some of the fish was a bit too fishy for how fresh it's supposed to be, the wagyu was chewier than it should've been, and the ambience felt less warm and welcoming than other restaurants of this refinement. What we ordered: Wagyu kushiyaki - flavor and char was great, but had to chew a good amount more than you would want with wagyu. The little side of truffle mashed potatoes is amazing. Toro nigiri - on the "fresh from Japan" menu. Kinda fell flat - not bad, but didn't have much of that melt your mouth, buttery flavor. Mikan himachi nigiri - on the "fresh from Japan" menu. This was the nigiri that was fishier than expected. Deluxe sushi platter - great option to get more food for your buck. 4 nigiri, 6 sashimi, 2 hand rolls, and 1 california roll. Salad + miso soup.

    I celebrated my birthday at my favorite Denver restaurant, Sushi Den, and it never disappoints. The fish is unbelievably fresh, and the quality is consistently incredible. The service is phenomenal. The chefs are so friendly and helpful, and they really take the time to explain the dishes and specials. We started with the tuna flight, which was a special that night, and it was such a fun way to begin the meal. They walked us through the different types of tuna, and each one had its own distinctive flavor. All of the sashimi we ordered was incredibly fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. They even brought out complimentary cucumber salad and an orange dessert, which was such a nice touch. Honestly, the prices are very reasonable for the level of quality you're getting. Sushi Den is truly a Denver staple and absolutely not a restaurant to miss.

    The teriyaki chicken plate was not traditional. Nicely presented but unfortunately I enjoy the flavor of the salad or the dressing on the potato. I found the chicken to have too much fat. Stick to the sea food menu... the restaurant was busy and people looked pleased. The restaurant interior is beautiful!

    Sushi den is the place to go to celebrate special events. My friend and I had a blast getting dressed up and savoring every moment, every bite at Sushi Den! What a treat this was! Service was above and beyond friendly and the ambience, while more traditional was incredible as always. Denver staple fine dining! Superb!

    Devine! The best seafood restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. The staff is amazing and the atmosphere is spectacular!

    Caroline B.

    Amazing experience!! Loved sitting at the chefs counter and watching the sushi be made. The crispy tuna rice is a death row meal for me. Especially enjoyed the lychee margarita and the scallop nigiri. This is a great special occasion spot. It's a darker ambiance.

    I mean come on this place is to die for. Born and raised in California my entire life, this tops any sushi I've ever had from there. Quick service, Great food, busy atmosphere.

    This is always a very service oriented experience from the moment you arrive until you walk out the door, stuffed with delicious Japanese cuisine. Crispy rice with spicy tuna is delicious. All four rolls were just what we wanted. Great flavor. Freshly made. They all arrived one right after the other. The pineapple upside down cake was exceptionally good. Tangy and sweet flavors on a delicious sponge cake. $180 for two out the door. Definitely a treat for a Friday lunch but well worth it. The restaurant is huge and always full. I recommend reservations. Plenty of seating for groups from 2 up and there is an outside patio. The interior of the restaurant is well appointed bring ca for the meal. Parking garage near by and limited street parking.

    Ask the Community - Sushi Den

    Can you walk in or do you need a reservation?

    They only take walk in's unless your party is over 6 people.

    What the average amount spent for 2, trying to price it out for my brother and his partner?

    It depends what they want to order. I did the omakase and spent about $150, but that is on the higher end. If they order a few rolls, some nigiris, and maybe some sashimi, I would say maybe $50-$100 per person. I am aiming high btw.

    It's says you are open at 4:30am. How busy are you at that time?

    Yes, the line to get into the restaurant may be long, however you can be seated easily that time.

    Can I order omakase as a walk-in?

    we always reserve it first. So they prepare special for you.

    Do they have all you can eat?

    Definitely not.

    Is there a minimum number of people in your party to make a reservation? The language on their website doesn't state that there is a minimum number, though OpenTable says 5+, and other reviewers have stated it as well.

    Depends on the day and time. Full details are here. http://www.sushiden.net/pdf/sushiden-reservations.pdf

    this place is one of my favorite hand roll places ever (from a girl coming from California who had…read moremany options)! I was in Denver to visit my friend, and I was telling her how I really liked hand rolls and so she recommended this place and it did not disappoint. We got here during happy hour when at first opened and immediately there was already a line luckily we were early so we did get seated a few minutes after arriving, and we were served relatively quickly. We got to sit at the bar and we ordered off of the happy hour menu, which was great because it had more than enough of what I wanted to try. We got several hand rolls and several of their other appetizers, but my favorite has to be their hand rolls. Their seaweed was so crispy and rolled so nicely. The rice was flavorful and their fish was so fresh. I felt like their prices were also pretty reasonable and I was more than content after having that dinner. Overall, I would put this very much on par with a place called Kazunori in LA. I heard that this restaurant has a sister restaurant called sushi Den that I heard was really good and that I will be trying out next time I'm in town. Please come try out Tamaki done if you're ever in the area the food will not disappoint. The restaurant is big with plenty indoor seating, but it will get packed and for good reasons because the food is so good!

    To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to come to Temaki Den and it did not disappoint (the hype…read moremakes a lot of sense). We thought we made a mistake choosing sushi bar instead of a table because we'll have back issues. Surprisingly, the chairs had a mini back so you could lean back occasionally. And we think our experience was better because the sushi chefs would explain the origin of the fish and all the ingredients they used into each roll and order. We also got a complimentary piece for sitting at the sushi bar which was a light fried yellow tail which was so good. Service is amazing. They're attentive and check in on you often. It does take some time to get your rolls but give its time to digest. From watching the sushi chefs at the bar, they're very precise in how they make each roll. Every roll has similar proportions from the slight wasabi they use to the amount of rice and fish. Everything that we had was amazing. The hamachi and salmon sashimi felt like butter. It just melts in your mouth. The aged toro was so delicious. Even the edamame was just so good. The unagi nigiri is some of the best I've had in the state (the nigri was better than the handroll and I think it's because I love unagi so I love the ratio in nigiri form). The Spicy Tuna Oshizushi was a surprising favorite of the night along with the Crème Fresh Salmon Belly. I could've done without the wagyu but it was good. Every order does come with only 1 so order based on the amount of people that are with your party. Some items we were unsure of like the wagyu so we ordered 1 and shared a bite. Overall, I understand the hype and the reservations. But it was worth it and I'm surprised we can get high quality fish in a landlock state. Of the high end sushi restaurants in CO, Temaki Den is probably my fave.

That said, the happy hour menu is a good deal for a hang out, especially in large group, and the brunch menu is pretty nice. In my opinion, Mizu was probably one of the better Japanese options back in the day. However, with so many other good spots now, especially with Kawa Ni close by with a better izakaya hang out spot, it's not as attractive of an option, especially given the higher price. It really is not a restaurant that specializes in any particular food, but is certainly a crowd pleaser if you have people that want different things.
