Mouthwatering Soup in Aurora

What the Pho

★★★★☆ 4.1 (548) • $$

"Oh the fragrance of Pho, simmering all day, filling the air of their large dining area.Thankfully, this restaurant was a close and easy walk from our meeting site. Four of my coworkers came with me for lunch and we were seated right away. Good thing we beat the regular lunch crowd because this place filled up quick!All of our orders were served up in a timely manner. My chicken pho was tasty, maybe a little bit in the salty side for my preference but others enjoyed the broth. Herbs and veggies were fresh.What the Pho, thank you for your quick service and tasty food. We appreciate the separate checks for our group too."

Ooka Sushi & Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (467) • $$

"I must admit, I was skeptical before I tried Ooka. Their menu is HUGE and includes Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and all sorts of asian fusion. It makes you wonder what their real specialty is, but turns out, they do everything surprisingly well! Here's a few things I've ordered, all of which I have liked: - Sesame chicken (with white rice and steamed broccoli) - Dynamite Roll- Las Vegas Roll - yellowtail sushi- salmon sushi- potstickers - gyoza- veggie tempura- Thai Iced Tea I really haven't been disappointed by anything. You really can't go wrong with the sesame chicken, it's a great balance of light and crispy batter, tangy sauce with a little kick, and tender chicken within (though the broccoli could be steamed better). The dynamite roll is also, well, dynamite. It's a special roll with deep fried spicy salmon/eel/cream cheese combo. Great combo of sweet and spicy with a nice texture. The Las Vegas roll is also top shelf, which is lobster tempura, eel, cucumber, avocado within, and spicy scallops & mango on top. Again a really strong compliment of flavors and textures. I wouldn't call it my favorite sushi place in town (it's currently #2 but potential to take #1), but it is certainly my top overall "Asian" option. With so many options and consistency in taste + quality, I applaud the effort here and say keep it up!"

Okinawa Japanese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (450) • $$

"Hot sake was JUST what I needed after my partner and I went on a freezing date to the Blossoms of Light festival. The snow was beautiful but cold this particular evening. That made street parking pretty easy (one block down) when it would have been quite crowded on Colfax. We were seated immediately for dinner since there weren't many other people around.I was craving chirashi, when normally I'd have gotten a few sushi rolls. The hot sake and miso were a good way to warm my body before the entrée. The chirashi came "deconstructed" vs. the typical bowl format, which I thought was clever. Sashimi was fresh and filling, which is lowkey my concern because of price. Overall would come back here again!"

Pho 96

★★★★☆ 4.2 (348) • $

"Good food, fair pricing, and attentive service. Overall I enjoyed their combination pho. The broth was flavorful, lots of meat, and noodles cooked well. The medium was plenty for me. My partner ordered the beef stew with noodles, which was really good too. Only negative was the springs rolls. They were old and likely sitting in the kitchen all day."

Szechuan Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (372) • $$

"Service here was quick and concise. The authentic waitress came to the table and took our order with a pen and a pad of paper! The food came out quickly and it was hot and freshly prepared, but my sweet and sour chicken was drowning in sauce almost to the point where it was overpowering the taste over everything else. Very reasonable prices and good service."

Bop & Gogi Korean Kitchen and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (349) • $$

Kurosawa Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (337) • $$

"Service is fast and the food is good. We ordered a few rolls for the table and had drinks. It's not our first time eating here and we will return. I also find the prices for sushi really stellar."

Taste Of Jerusalem Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (270) • $$

"Wow! This place was amazing! The food was great and we really enjoyed the ambience. One thing we truly appreciate about this place is that they take care of the community. That really meant a lot. Please go support them!"

Sumo

★★★★☆ 4.3 (232) • $$

"The food is delicious and the sushi is always fresh. Our server Gina was a delight and was attentive to every need. Highly recommend sitting in her section for great conversation. The ambiance is relaxing and not noisy. Favorite sushi place in Longmont."

China Lee

★★★★☆ 3.6 (324) • $

"That was in my vegetable fried rice tonight! Really disappointing and thankfully it didn't make it to my mouth!I thought it was a bean sprout at first as I moved the rice this emerged. The vegetable fried rice is usually decent and the only thing order there."

Boulder Pho

★★★★☆ 4 (252) • $$

"Their Vietnamese spring rolls with the peanut sauce is a def to order when you go there. It's exactly the way it's made and what I like it the lightness of this appetizer. The light spring roll with the flavor bomb peanut sauce just goes so well together. They should sell that peanut sauce lol ;)I got the combination pho which is Steak, brisket, tendon, tripe and meatball. You have to order a medium or large bowl if you choose this and my husband got the Steak and Brisket. I'll be honest the tendon felt pretty uncooked and hard and stiff so I took it out. I think the best option is the rare (p.s the meat is so thin that it cooks in the hot water) Steak and Brisket. Overall good experience"

Sawa Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (201) • $$

"We stopped here for my friend's birthday dinner. First thing we noticed is the building was in some disrepair. It used to be a Pizza Hut and repurposing a very obvious building structure is akward at best. The red of the previous paint job is coming through all over the exterior. Parking lot is safe and well lit but also in some disrepair. The service was fast and efficient but cold and distant. No casual chat, banter or anything remotely close to friendly. The food came out fast and was a solid average for the genre. The spicy tuna sushi was first rate but the seafood ramen was average, as was the shrimp tempura. I'd order the sushi again but not the ramen or tempura. The building is clean inside but the employee sleeping in one of the booths near us felt odd. I'm not sure why but I didn't like it. It felt tacky. All in all, this restaurant was a solid average and I prefer to eat at locations that excel."

Fujiyama Sushi & Hibachi

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (345) • $$

"Great show and food! Tonight we enjoyed our new years eve dinner and performance. Per usual enjoyed a delicious meal of fried rice, hibachi shrimp and steak. Cooked to perfection! Prices are much better than other well known hibachi restaurants. A forgotten gem in Highlands Ranch"

Shanghai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.7 (257)

"It's nice to have a go-to restaurant in your direct vicinity and I must say that this Chinese restaurant is one of them (although I don't utilize it enough.) A few days ago, a little past 9pm (on Christmas Eve to be exact), on my way to go to a friend's house, I stopped here to get me a few items. There was one group of people (the last diner of the night) that was finishing off their late night meal. Other than that, I appeared to be the last customer for the night. The lady that greeted me asked me if it was for a dine in or to-go (wonder if she would have accepted me had I said dine in? Not sure.) I immediately responded, "To-go, please."Like I stated earlier I only wanted a few items (a few sides.) I got me the pork dumplings and the veggies egg rolls. The lady said it'd be 5 min.While waiting, I looked around the dining room and took a few photos. Nicely dimmed lights, each dining table was neatly arranged/set. Very clean and inviting. I like the bright red napkins. This restaurant appears to have received several accolades in the past (there are frames magazine articles on one of the walls.) As promised, it was about 5 minutes before my food was ready. A different lady gave me a bag that contained my food with a nice smile. Service is good here.I didn't eat the food until next day. Sometimes there is a huge difference between eating it fresh or a day old so I'll be fair with this review based on the fact that I ate it when the food was half day old. Overall, both of them were good. To be frank, when it comes to dumplings or potstickers, I prefer them to be pan-fried to be deep fried. I wonder if they ever make them pan-fried or even steamed. This will be a little request I'll be sure to make upon my next visit for sure. The veggie egg rolls were a bit small for the price. Tasted good however. I really need to try their main dishes in the future. Then I'll be able to elaborate more on their food in a real sense. Until then my hon/frank rating shall be 3-stat."

Organic Sandwich

★★★★☆ 3.9 (203) • $$

"This was the best sandwich I've ever had the privilege of eating. It was so hard to even decide which sandwich to order because everything on the menu looked insanely good. Also, I need to hype up the owner of the store because she was so kind and servant hearted. She was literally washing the tables and tending to every customers need. I love her so much!!! Need to go back to Boulder simply for another sammy."

Croc Soup Company

★★★★☆ 4 (184)

"Came here earlier today before we fly out tomorrow night back to Los Angeles, but I've already fallen in love with and will dearly miss this place because of the very cute Croc theme and humor But yes, staff was extremely sweet and friendly, the food was really good and not too pricey, and the inside is clean and comfortable.We fly out tomorrow and I already miss this place!"

Snarf's Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.5 (220) • $$

"Had this food at a work function. I chose the Italian salad, and it was so good! Everything was perfectly fresh--lettuce, roasted red peppers, grape tomatoes, chickpeas, finely sliced onions, finely julienned pepperoni and salami (very flavorful, yet not at all greasy), sliced perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, julienned cheese. The dressing made the salad! Since I didn't order it, I don't know what type it was, but I guess it was Italian. It was a nicely emulsified sharp vinaigrette. I will look for this chain locally, as it was surprisingly very delicious."

Revival Denver Public House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (148)

"I have become a little bit of a neighborhood regular at Revival. I love this spot. Their happy hour being on Saturdays also is one of the big reasons why. Inside it's a nice vibe, lots of wood, kind of that new/old/retro combination. Everything is finished nicely/classy. There's ample seating and check out the different specials they have on different days of the week. They also have a couple pool tables next door that people don't always realize. The bathrooms could be better, but, ah no real biggie.I've tried different foods, as well. All have been delicious. I think I got one sandy baked oyster once, which always sucks to chew sand in your teeth, but I guess it's going to happen here and there with oysters. The food is good.They also have quite the selection of whiskys & bourbons. My friend was shocked to see Pappy Van Winkle there. I was lucky enough to share his! Lol"

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (231) • $$

"Everyone Was Extremely Friendly & Helpful. The Hosts Were Lovely. Dayana Was My Server & She Was Amazing. She Went Above & Beyond. Food Was Delicious."

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (194) • $$

"I ordered the unlimited Soup salad and breadsticks and I was drunk that I threw up in my soup but my waiter Albert replaced it so quick because the manager was in the bathroom with black tar but I had the time of my life because of how promptly they replaced the soup bowl. I was only embarrassed for a few minutes and Albert was doing his best even though he only had one arm and it only took 5 minutes to get me creamy bowl of mimosa and I threw up again but he wasn't mad. He cleaned up and he cleaned again! Best funeral Afters ever! My papa died and I got attacked by a goose at the funeral but this cheered me up because our waiter Albert helped me out under table because I dropped my napkin with a note that had my number on it. He never called me because I'm overweight but I still appreciated him."

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (253) • $$

"I haven't been an Olive Garden in years and would never pick it as a place to meet someone for lunch. My friend wanted to eat there and I just wanted to be easy to get along with so I said OK. Her main reason for choosing Olive Garden is because they have gluten-free options and/or you can request them. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the garden I was kindly greeted. The place is huge! It's a wonderful place to have a meal and a nice chat. It is not noisy and I like that!We both ate off the $10.99 weekday lunch menu. There are plenty of options. We both had spaghetti with meat sauce. It comes with endless soup or salad. Actually, you could even alternate between soup and salad if you wanted more. The food was good. We both enjoyed our meals.The highlight was the service. Sammy was our server. Sammy is awesome. She was so kind and so personable. She has excellent interpersonal an customer service skills. The manager, Shawn was fantastic. He came to our table to make sure my friend's gluten-free meal was properly delivered. Way above and beyond the call of duty. He's been working for Olive Garden for 13 years. He loves his career and it shows!Easy five stars for Olive Garden and its awesome staff! Thank you for the great experience and great service. I would not hesitate to come back to this location."

Capriotti's Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.6 (158) • $$

"Capriotti's is always one of the most reliable and best sandwich spots. Their quality of food is very good and their services is kind and very prompt. I any of the choices I make there."

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (212) • $$

"We always know exactly what to expect from the food and it's always good. What I want to comment on is the service. Tonight we had delightful service all around starting with the young man hosting who genuinely seemed happy to see us and then sweetheart Connor as a server. What really impressed me was watching all of the staff interact. I watched multiple staff greet each other while walking past as if they are friends, offering to help each other, giving knucks, smiling and catching up while passing each other. I don't know if everyone just got their holiday bonus or what! (Kidding ;)) everyone just was so cheerful and sweet and respectful to each other that it caused me to watch and notice. Just felt like a really happy night here tonight!"

South Garden Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (132) • $$

Farm and Market

★★★★★ 4.9 (83) • $$

"I've been trying to eat less carbs and sugar so I've been trying new places to figure out which can pull it off, but still taste awesome. Farm & Market is now one of my favorites.I love how neat and calm the restaurant is. It's very with airy and open with lots of table options and outdoor seating too (no heaters or covering). The staff were also helpful and friendly, and my order got out to me quickly.I ordered the Lotus Salad and it was delicious. The tofu was cooked perfectly and was flavorful, the glass noodles were a healthy way to sub out heavy carbs (and they were so good), the daikon radish isn't something I see a lot of in Denver cuisine so it was a really great part of this meal.This would be a great spot for lunch, conveniently located in an area that's easy to access and that has a decent amount of street parking. It's so nice to light and healthy options that pack a flavor punch. I can't wait to try more menu items!"

Linglon

★★★★★ 4.6 (93)

"The thought of some delicious sides that would nicely accompany the steamed rice I had at home sounded good to me so I wasted no time to stop here yesterday afternoon and got me my favorite, South Style Garden Delight. I also wanted to try something new so I got Five Spice Beef Shank to go along with it. This place is always clean. Like he last time, it was spotless. Service was good as well. The lady who took my order and some other lady who handed me my to-go order were pleasant to me. They both had nice smile on their faces. At home, I started to savor my food in the early evening. Garden Delight was, as usual, so delicious; this never disappoints me. And the new discovery, Beef Shank is now my favorite. It's got some kick in it but the spiciness is easily handled. The cilantro sprinkled over the beef simply did the magic to enhance it. This is a well-seasoned dish to say the most least.I have to try their noodles next time. I feel like I keep saying that (lol) but will do it next time for sure!"

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (207) • $$

"I haven't experienced many Italian restaurants in Colorado so take it as that. But as far as fast food chains go, Olive Garden is pretty great. I only come here for the chicken Alfredo. I don't know how they do it but the chicken breast is never dry - even after I eat it the next day for left overs. I love the unlimited breadsticks. The soups are pretty good too. I always get enough for two meals for one price.Due to a lack of employees working, there can be a wait. The space is quite large with lots of seating but there's not enough people. So be patient and tip your waiter/waitress well. It's not their fault there's not enough people working."

Z!Eats

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (141) • $$

"If you love soup then this is your stop. Quite a variety to choose from among sandwiches. Service is a little slow but other than that everything else was good. The place is clean and contemporary."

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (203) • $$

"I are dinner here on a Sunday night a few weeks ago. This location isn't too far from the highway. Visiting here was also nostalgic as I didn't live too far from here in a past life. They were very busy for a Sunday night. I got on the wait list and it took nearly thirty minutes to be seated. I recommend online reservations before your visit.Our waiter's name is Darius. He was very professional, pleasant and kind. He made the experience all the more pleasant. I feel fortunate to have Darius wait on us. I hope he becomes Restaurant Manager someday. I can tell service (being of service to others) is a calling to him. Keep shining, Darius!For my entree I ordered the Chicken Marsala Fettuccine. Of course, the meal comes with their delicious salad and bread sticks. I love this about Olive Garden. I don't believe I've ever had the Chicken Marsala here before. I very much enjoyed it.Olive Garden isn't one of my go to Italian restaurants. However, the food is decent and the prices are very reasonable. I like how you can pay your bill at the table and don't have to wait for the waiter or waitress to bring the bill.The ambiance was pleasant when I visited. Restaurant was clean as well. I wasn't seated at a dirty table as well. I recommend this Olive Garden location if you're looking for a quality one. Ask for Darius too! I would visit here again. Too bad this location is far from my home."

Thai Panda

★★★★☆ 3.9 (103) • $

"We love this little gem. I got tired of the same old, same old. This isn't that! We order almost once a week. Pork fried rice and volcano beef is our favorite!"

Hiratori

★★★★★ 4.6 (67) • $$

"What if ... you could get top notch hibachi without the two hour show? You can and you should at Hiratori. The BEST crab Rangoon / won tons I've ever tried went well with the veggie hibachi. I've tried the steak on another occasion and it was also awesome."

Bop & Gogi Korean Kitchen and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (69)

"Korean tacos. Korean tacos. Korean tacos. I figure if I say it enough a few things will happen. Either they will appear (unlikely) or you will order them when you go (good idea).Is this restaurant perfect? No. When it's not busy you order at a kiosk and they descriptions of food are limited. It will help if you already know Korean food.Are the tacos so good that this place deserves five stars? Hell yes. Look, a taco is a pretty standard food, right? Negative. I cannot accurately describe how good this taco was. It was so good that I wanted to throw my main meal in the trash and order more tacos. It is so good that I am currently trying to book additional work in this town so I can eat more tacos. Yeah. It is that good. My main dish was a bowl with pork. It was great but the taco was life-changing. The taco won me over. Get you some ASAP."

Pho on 74th

★★★★☆ 3.8 (72) • $

"Fast and prompt service, with pretty darn delicious dishes. I was very surprised at the nice selection of dishes, including the banh xeo. We went simple with hot bowls of pho and spring rolls. No need to douse the food here in sriracha! The food was filling but light. There was a good mix of pork and shrimp in the rolls, paired with a great peanut sauce. With the pho there was plenty of meat - a bonus, they will provide thicker noodles which my brother would love. I was also pleasantly surprised by the full bar and will definitely try a drink next time."

Panera Bread

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (129) • $

"Did not have coffee for a meeting with 35 adults! Jumped on the Panera app, ordered two carafes of coffee. The time showed extra to get it done. It was done well before the estimated time. All the extras w cups, stirrers, sugars and creamers! Packaged so nice in a huge heavy duty Panera bag. What could have been a disaster...ended up making everyone feel special! Thank you Panera!"

Panera Bread

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (142) • $

"I am saddened to see that I paid $16 for the sandwich and I couldn't even get a good size portion of meat. I always order from you guys have never had this experience not to mention you also left off my onions. Not impressed with the level of service received.Picture of full size Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT with very little meat. They also left off my onions which I then cut some of my own and added them to the sandwich."
