Best Sushi Restaurants in Denver: Izakaya Den

Izakaya Den 1518 South Pearl Street Denver, CO 80210 303-777-0691 - Izakaya Den is the sister of Sushi Den, another great place for freshly prepared, authentic Japanese cuisine. Much of the difference between this and Sushi Den is that Izakaya is a fusion restaurant that fuses interesting Japanese and Mediterranean items with flavors of northern Spain, France, and America in its undertone.

It is Izakaya's ridiculous diversity of menu that makes it incredibly appealing to many. You can come here with a group of people with varying tastes in food and all will leave happy because there is something for everyone.

Vegetarians have various selections of yummy items including the Gruyere, which is a wild mushroom based dish, seasonal vegetable egg rolls, and organic Haricot verts.

There are seafood items, poultry items, and items to delight sushi lovers as well. Best items are Miso soup, curried Maine lobster with apricot-shallot veloute. You can have spicy tuna, halibut, or whatever kind of wrap. You can even have a do-it yourself item where you enjoy the experience of wrapping your own sushi upon mastering the craft from the sushi master. You will have a great eating and lively experience at Izakaya.

The ambience at Izakaya is simply beautiful. It is dark but warm, with Japanese pop music often in the background. It boasts talk of the town sushi bar, a spacious drink bar with an upstairs lounge. It has beautiful Asian accented decors in form of bamboo and plants. It has lively crowds from all walks of life that come together to enjoy their favorite dishes of sake, sushi, or whatever country dish they are in the mood for.

The service is another reason people keep returning to Izakaya Den. Its friendly and knowledgeable waiters and servers help you by explaining what is in each item you wish to try, and they help you make right choices that will fit your taste. If you are in a group, you will benefit from having each person order different items so that you can each sample each other's meal. You will love the adventure and experiment of fusing your individual picks, just like Izakaya fuses world cuisines to create amazing dishes.
