Everything is ridiculously fresh, especially for Colorado being a land-locked state. Luckily we were able to snag a last minute reservation, but typically this restaurant is booked out for weeks in advance, but it never hurts to call if you are feeling spontaneous! This is an expensive place to order sushi and while I’m sure there are cheaper places to get the same thing for, the quality of the ingredients is what really makes this place stand out. The white rice and miso soup are also very good. The food is outstanding, with good sized portions of the rolls themselves, you definitely won’t be leaving hungry. Lighting upstairs is really cool and the bamboo is a really nice touch. Some of the absolute best sushi in Colorado if you can afford it! This has got to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! I say experience because along with the amazing food you pay for the ambiance as well. There are way better sushi spots in Denver! Just wanted to see what all the hype is about Sushi den.

Did not want to try desserts and we were let down by the food and very pricey dinner (which was not worth it) We paid around $120 for 2 people and still had to go home and eat. The prawns were kind of bland and not grilled to perfection. For a dish that costs $30, they serve 5 pieces of tiger prawns with a teeny tiny bit of mango chunks (which they call mango salsa) and a scoop of mashed potatoes. I had high expectations from the tiger prawns dish. It smelled filthy! The other rolls were okish. We ordered spider roll which had such a pungent smell and horrible taste that I did not eat after one bite. I am very sad to say this but the food was average and very pricey for what they serve quantity and quality wise. Drinks are good - I ordered Blackberry slush something and it was good (very leas alcohol, mostly just juice) Perfect for a date night or gathering of friends/family. Good things first - the ambience is classy and warm. I had really really high hopes from this restaurant and finally got a weeknight dinner reservation.
