Sushi Den, Denver

great food, a bit over hyped, service was sort of slow

Be prepared for some attitude!! The hostess at the door was not very friendly when we arrived for dinner on Tuesday night (it was packed, on Tuesday?!). And the bartender at the bar further in the back could hardly contain his snobbish attitude! However, our server was very nice, helpful and attentive, and the food was fantastic!! The nigiri sushi melts in your mouth! They have a nice selection of vegetarian options, like the portabella rolls (2 pieces), which were to die for!! We had to order another plate of those! If you opt for dessert, the kabocha (japanese pumpkin) creme brulee is absolutely delicious! Prices are up there (portabella rolls, 2 pieces, $5) but all in all worth it, if you can get past the initial dose of uppity attitude (some sake helps!)

The seared fatty tuna is life-changing!

20 years of the greatest sushi with constant new innovations.

Having been spoiled by excellent and creative Sushi in other cities, I understand that Sushi Den is some of Denver's best, but it is just a step below excellent. Make reservations if you want to go, but be aware the noise of the restaurant makes conversation quite a task.

Great feel, loved an interior, good place to hide in the design... food on other hand, goes from ups to lows.. one dish can take you to the sky high and another just make you question if you are in some russian restaurant ( referring to marinated mushrooms) I can tell only one thing my grandma makes better ones. Same goes for PhillyRoll not impressive at all. Plain, Plain and one more time Plain.

Excellent Sushi. Some of the best I have had - EVER!

Food is superb; service is spotty but "who cares"!

Hands down best sushi in Denver

Crowded, loud and same old sushi - perhaps it needs to get off its pedestal and remember how to compete.
