Ina LiFebruary 28, 2017Fresh, authentic, and totally worth the wait. Highly recommend the live scallop, unagi, uni, toro, salmon belly and, of course, the dynamite bowl.
Steven AndrophyAugust 15, 2018Some of the best sushi I've had in the US. You can't go wrong with any of the daily specials flown in from Japan.
Alfonso CastilloJanuary 16, 2015Totally outstanding place. Ingredients can't be more fresh indeed. Everything you order will blow you away. My suggestions: sit at the bar and order a Red Dragon or a Rainbow Roll. AMAZING.
Andy FrancoOctober 17, 2016I see why it's the best sushi in Denver. Try the Happy Platter for happy hour. The Eel and Halibut melt in your mouth. Also the Toro here is delicious!!!
Anne NApril 9, 2017The jalapeño hamachi was incredible! We also loved the gyoza and the spicy pork ramen. The sushi is so fresh and light--you'd never know you're in Denver!!!
ViajandolavidalocaMay 5, 2016So cute and chic! Staff is amazingly helpful. Food is super yummy but be prepared for tiny portions. Hands down the best miso soup, I've ever had.
Melissa DagdaganJanuary 30, 2023No set omakase menu, but let them know you want it, and they’ll customize one for you, starting at $100 and moving upwards!
Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014The sushi crew serves deeply purple tuna, iridescent toro banded with fat, excellent eel and beautiful shake. Read more
Georgia LuddeckeAugust 25, 2024Spicy Aburi Toro is absolutely unreal. Must try. Also, our server, Dallas, was fantastic! We loved all of his recommendations.
Ajit VergheseFebruary 19, 2012Focus on the straightforward sushi tasting, but there's also a nice variety of cooked dishes — tempura, soba and udon, eggplant and miso — that don't break any boundaries but consistently hit the spot
Shaan HassanApril 22, 2020I went with this restaurant multiple times because their foods taste better and delicious. Thank you for the food. Till next time with you guys!

Exclusive ResortsFebruary 10, 2012A Denver institution and an absolute must go for visitors.

YUMYAMYUM
I YAugust 18, 2015The seasonal lobster shrimp wontons were outstanding! Note: if you hate cilantro though, avoid this dish but you're missing out!
Josh FunkeMay 15, 2014Best sushi in Denver, ask for Joseph, let him order for you and tell him Mr funke sent yah...also tony is the man and such a pro
David SickelsDecember 14, 2018Excellent Sushi and Chef’s Specials (Fish flown in daily) - Great accommodating service!
- This isn't just "the best sushi on Denver". This is some of the best sushi in the Western Continent of the Americas. Just giving proper context.
this place is pricey, but excellent. go for happy hour if you're looking for a more affordable meal!
Ben SargentJuly 24, 2012South Pearl neighborhood is new to us and big surprise - great restaurants packed on a Monday night. Great sushi with new flavors at Sushi Den!

One of my favorite ramen shops in Denver metro. Great gyoza too!
Olivia BoltOctober 17, 2013Some of the best sushi I've ever had. It's really nice inside, and it's not too expensive.- J McNeilMay 5, 2013House Roll is by far one of the best rolls in Denver. Also love the Rock N Roll with fresh salmon..
- DeanJanuary 10, 2016Get here early if you're doing happy hour; there was a line of ~20 ppl at the door @ 430pm on Saturday
The Peak Properties GroupJune 12, 2014Even after 25 years of service, this place always has a wait line and is VERY well worth the wait as well..
sara mae pickleMay 23, 2016Probably one of the best if not thee best sushi restaurants I've ever been

Ted ArchuletaJuly 27, 2013#8 most fined restaurant in Denver for health code violations. If u don't believe me. Google it.
Sean BesserMarch 8, 2013A sushi place 1000 miles from water that absolutely rocks it & can go head to head with the best anywhere!!!
MarieClaireNovember 12, 2010Run by Toshi (who’d been a chef in Tokyo and L.A.) and Yasu (who’d been a chef in London), this eatery is known for having some of the freshest rolls in town.
Pawel MacMarch 5, 2013Try the appetizers Spicy Crispy Tuna and Dynamite... Awesome! However, downhill from there to average sushi rolls land.
Betty BootsApril 23, 2013Ask if sushi chef, Corey, can make your last roll (chef's choice). You won't regret it!
Dan JApril 16, 2010Fantastic meal on a business trip. Cod was delicious and the sushi was top-notch (and this comes from an experienced sushi eater from locations across the countries' sushi hot spots).
Order the Dynamite, it is wonderful. Also their Hamachi (yellowtail) is the best in town because it is always cut properly.
Benefitting from the charm of its neighborhood and superlative quality.
