"A long‑running South Pearl Street sushi institution founded by two brothers some four decades ago that spawned several related projects and helped establish the duo as central figures in the local culinary scene." - ByKate Kassin
"Scoring a table on the second floor of this eternally thronged, architecturally dreamy Japanese restaurant — be it on the small deck or in the bar beneath a retractable roof — is the hard part. Once accomplished, the easy part is breathing in the serene atmosphere and watching the crowds go by on Pearl Street while dining on some of Denver’s best sushi." - Eater Staff

"Sushi Den has provided land-locked Denver with fresh, top-tier seafood for almost 40 years. Fish is flown in daily, with the owner’s own brother hand-selecting cuts from Japan’s Nagahama Fish Market. Looking to splurge? Go all out with the chef’s table omakase. Prior to your dinner, the restaurant will email you a questionnaire about your preferences, and they’ll tailor the experience to your favorites. The meandering dinner typically involves multiple courses of nigiri and sashimi, plus a cooked dish or two and dessert. Even if you don’t score a seat at the sushi bar, the regular menu and serene dining room are still worth checking out. " - Team Infatuation
"Sidle up the long sushi bar at this Washington Park staple, and get ready to indulge in some of the freshest fish in Denver, paired with Japanese-inspired drinks. While sake dominates the menu, the signature cocktails shouldn’t be missed. Try the 5 Rings, a magical mixture of Bulleit Bourbon, Hakutake Kinjo shochu, fresh lemon, and ginger. It’s a great way to start your meal of sushi, wagyu beef kushiyaki, and duck udon." - Vox Creative
