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. The global cuisine experiments with a bevy of different flavors including unique items such as Grilled Panzanella Salad (jumbo lump crab, toasted focaccia, local goat cheese, pistachios, plum wine vinaigrette), Kobe Beef Sliders (seared foie gras, pomme frittes). A gluten-free menu is also available along with a popular weekday happy hour from 5 to 6:30 pm.

    We ordered only sashimi and rolls. The fish was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The rolls were also delicious. Dinner took an hour and 40 minutes. It was super busy, but the service was excellent.

    They doubled their prices and it is simply not worth it anymore. Perhaps they are trying to pay off the parking garage they built and charge patrons for? Not sure. Still very good, but way overpriced :/

    Overall excellent as always. In my opinion, one of the best places for sushi in Colorado. Was a bit noisy for a Tuesday, but our waiter was exceptional which made up for the noise.

    Really bad service, we were very disappointed because the restaurant looked beautiful and the menu overall was great. We had to wait forever after our order was put in, some items were forgotten. We had to ask our waiter for certain items multiple times and he never came back around for refills, he said that he was in the bathroom that whole time even though we saw him standing around.

    We came to celebrate my husbands birthday and man oh man we were so impressed!!!!! The food was a serious 10/10 Our favorites were the black miso cod, blue fin nigiri and the lychee margarita was top notch we ordered our favorite dishes twice. The food was so fresh, my only let down was how tight nit and packed but other than that we are definitely coming back

    Outstanding fresh sushi that never disappoints. The server team is amazingly knowledgeable, about all of their menu options. We always start with their house salad, which is served on a chilled plate and so crispy. Not enough space to rave about all of our favorite items. If you are lucky enough to get a reservation, you are in for a treat.
