Trippin': Denver - Sushi Den

1487 S Pearl St
Denver, Colorado 80210

In keeping with the whole sushi thing, Miss Fabulous suggested that we go have lunch at her favorite sushi place in Denver before we all headed back to our prospective homes in whatever city. Of course, big poppa and Transam had to add their two cents by letting everyone know it probably wasn't going to be better than Tojo's. That was before my visit there. So I wonder if it's called Sushi Den cos it's in DENver, or is it den like a lion's den or den as in the cozy family room. I'll never know cos I didn't ask. Well, the place has the usual of a good sushi restaurant. Fresh fish. My fave would mos def be their miso soup. It's the best miso soup I've ever had. There was all sorts of stuff in there. Not just your usual tofu and green onion. Big poppa and Transam insisted on ordering the beef carpaccio to see how it fared against the beef sashimi at Tojo's. Of course Tojo's was better since it was smothered in this wonderful marinade/seasoning. The beef carpaccio was like the Vietnamese Bo Tai Chanh. It was thin slices of raw beef and you squeeze lemon over it. Overall, the food was pretty good and the restaurant itself was really nice.
