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

    The food service and atmosphere were outstanding in every way. We sat in the quieter of the large rooms with our family of four and it was perfect.

    Best Sushi in the country! And our waiter Cooper was awesome! We really only eat sushi at Sushi Den unless we are traveling to a place near the ocean. Only two of those sushi restaurants recommend as being the best came close to being as good as Sushi Den, one in NYC and one in Vegas.

    I really think this place is over rated, supposedly the best sushi restaurant in all of Denver, it was okay at best. Way over priced, there’s other restaurants with the same quality for way less. You’re really paying for the “atmosphere” rather than the food. This is a been there done that kind of place.

    Food was great, black miso cod was excellent, everything else that we had was pretty standard for any sushi/Japanese restaurant. Ambiance was truly nothing special, a little overhyped in my opinion. Service was excellent.
