Ina LiFebruary 28, 2017Little sister of sushi den. Fresh, authentic, and totally worth the wait. Highly recommend the live scallop, unagi, uni, toro, salmon belly and, of course, the dynamite bowl.
H. Colbert (@hrsch)October 3, 2021Love, love, love this place. You have to sit on the second floor, it’s gorgeous. The green tea tiramisu and wagyu roll are next level. New Salmon roll is also a winner.
Katie H.February 10, 2017Upstairs ambience was awesome... We had some amazing Tasmanian red salmon nigiri and Salmon New Style Rolls, plus Demon Slayer sake. The best sushi I've had since a stint in Japan.
Kaden SternAugust 22, 2013Sit at the bar for a more laid back environment or sit upstairs for a romantic vibe order the volcano roll last as it is very rich but very satisfying as well enjoy! Great place!
Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014When Izakaya Den opened in 2008 in a brand-new, Japanese country-style building on South Pearl Street, it snagged our Best New Restaurant award. Read more
Kevin RipperDecember 21, 2015This is very likely the best sushi I've had in Denver. That might not sound incredible but it stands up to places like Ino Sushi in San Francisco.
Diana ShafferJuly 21, 2011Definately see if you can find a see at the sushi bar or in the little room in the back. The back room is a small seating area and has its own little sushi bar as well!!!!! You get free food and can
Jason BellowsJune 17, 2021Super cool design, fresh/tasty sushi, solid cocktails. Recommend sitting at the bar on the upper level
Kacie ArmbrustJuly 10, 2018Good sushi is hard to find in a land locked state but Izakaya consistently serves up fresh sushi and sashimi. But the atmosphere is unbeatable.
Jackie ToddJanuary 16, 2016Had the lobster tempura roll and it was delicious. That and a plate of gyoza made for a wonderful meal.
Elliott ChengerNovember 27, 2014One of my favorite places in Denver for sushi. Great atmosphere, great food and knowledgeable staff.
- Tish SzurekDecember 29, 2018All great here and so nice to be able to get a reservation versus waiting at Sushi Den
Bill PetroNovember 5, 2017If you like Sushi Den, and don't want to wait in line, try this place: they take reservations.
Rachel HigaSeptember 23, 2013ALWAYS make a reservation if you want a table on the weekend. Request to sit upstairs or on the patio!
David FordSeptember 13, 2009Love it! If you like sushi, you have to check this place out. It is located on Pearl near Wash Park. A little pricey but the quality of food is evident. Cool space and cool people
Jeff RinggenbergAugust 31, 2013The Wild Bincho was wonderfully fresh. Definitely get it if you like albacore tuna.
Yummmm! The miso ramen for lunch is excellent.- Denver WestwordDecember 7, 2010Winner of Westword's Best of Denver 2010 - Best Vegetarian Dish in a Non-Vegetarian Restaurant!
The hoisin duck crostini is RIDICULOUS. Get it and giggle with every bite.
Tanner NallJuly 22, 2011These guys think they have the monopoly on the sushi scene a) sasa is head and shoulders above, food wise. B) the servers are pretentious and uneducated. FAIL
