Izakaya Den is Denver’s popular Japanese gastropub, modeled after the lively after hours establishments found throughout Japan. The restaurant is located on South Pearl Street and is the second restaurant of the Kizaki brothers, founders and owners of Sushi Den.

The menu is arranged in a tapas style, serving traditional Japanese small plates along with dishes infused with international flavors and textures. The more traditional Japanese offerings include sashimi and nigiri, sourced from daily fish shipments from around the globe, along with dumplings and noodle dishes. The global cuisine experiments with a bevy of different flavors including unique items such as Grilled Panzanella Salad (jumbo lump crab, toasted focaccia, local goat cheese, pistachios, plum wine vinaigrette), Kobe Beef Sliders (seared foie gras, pomme frittes). A gluten-free menu is also available along with a popular weekday happy hour from 5 to 6:30 pm.

We came for our daughter’s birthday and the food was okay. Not the best or worst sushi we had. We also ordered sriracha garlic shrimp and it was good; however, we ordered a side of mashed potatoes and it was cold. The service was also okay, we didn’t have utensils to eat for our main course so we had to search for that, I probably won’t go back.

Really disappointed with Izakaya Den food, restaurant feels like maybe it has run its course. Sushi was mediocre and all cooked items arrived cold at our table. Bad expensive food experience at a place that was once amazing.
