Annie G. "The other day my husband said: "Do you really want Dagiya again? You've had it twice this week!" And the answer was YES! Lucky for us, we live close by so it's become a family favorite. We've tried all of the varieties of fried chicken and love the white onion fried chicken the most. It is topped with thin onion slices and the best part is the white onion dipping sauce (I wish this sauce would come with all the orders). Another favorite is the Chicken Mayo Bowl - I could eat this dish for lunch every day! The chicken is so flavorful and drizzled in mayo on a bed of rice makes it even better! Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Ddukbokki in general. But I do think the Labokki that includes ramen noodles is good!The service has always been quick and friendly! If eating in the restaurant, water, paper trays and plastic silverware are available -- making it easy to grab what you need without having to ask the staff."

Doug B. "Nepalese cuisine? A lot of what is on the menu is similar to Indian food, but there are some items that I have not seen elsewhere. First off, you can have yak meat in many of the dishesIt is worth noting that Tarkari is basically a curry dish and daal is the same lentil soup that you'd find at many Indian restaurants. So, Daal Bhat Tarkari is a set meal that consists of lentil soup, rice, and curry. Apparently, this is a national dish of Nepal. One of our fellow diners got this and it looked very good. He was happy with his choice. As with many places, they offer several spice levels, depending on your preference. The momo (dumplings) are a traditional street food and are a nice way to start the meal, though not really required since the dinner portions are generous. Of our group, most people ordered either a curry or a vindaloo at various levels of spiciness and meats ranging from chicken to yak. Yak is mostly like beef to me, and at a high spice level, it was difficult to tell the difference. I think everyone enjoyed their meals as the plates were clean at the end of the meal. We ate in the "garden" area outside and it was nice. They seem to allow pets in that area. I'd like to eat inside next time since on our way through, it looked to be very interestingly decorated. The service was good throughout the meal, although once our plates were cleared, it seemed like we were forgotten and we had to just about grab a server to get them to let us pay. They were pretty busy, but I'd think you'd want to turn a table to get more people in faster. I recommend a reservation, especially if there is something going on at the nearby school or if you have more than a few people in your party. Either that or be ready to wait for a while."

Amanda L. "This is SUCH a delicious restaurant and such a unique concept. The owners are a married couple, with one who has roots in Italy, while the other has roots in India. Therefore, Spuntino is an Italian restaurant with a deliciously Indian twist!The portions here are small, so they are best for sharing family style with your table, so that you can all try and sample more of the menu together! Truly every dish we ordered was so delicious, and we definitely gravitated to the ones that had that Indian twist in them in particular, and it was all done so well and just completely balanced with the Italian of it all as well!My friend, who is Indian American, made the great observation that various different kinds of Indian cuisine and ingredients were used - from both North and South Indian cuisine!We had made a reservation, which is definitely what I would recommend that you do when you come here, especially on weekend evenings. Things were super busy here and when we showed up, the table that was reserved for us still had the previous party there, overstaying their welcome long after they had paid the bill. Because of this, we ended up waiting an additional 20-30 minutes. They took our drink orders as we waited and we sipped on them in the foyer. Finally when they seated us, they sent over a complimentary appetizer and took care of the first round of our drinks as well, which was all very much appreciated and made up for the wait instantly!Drinks were great and so unique as well! They had delightful mocktail options that I sincerely enjoyed! Now let's get onto the star of the show...the food! We started with the focaccia e ricotta, the complimentary appetizer they sent out which was SO divine! The head of roasted garlic was the star of the show here and really made the bread + cheese combo so much more enhanced! Then we also got the arancini, which is such a classic Italian dish and one of my favorites! This was also had a South Indian twist, which meant that in addition to risotto balls, there were South Indian spiced cauliflower, mint-cilantro yogurt raita, and pickled red onion. It all worked together SO beautifully!For our primi, which were pasta dishes, we got both the lasagna as it boasted being 36 layers (!!!) and the malai kofta gnocchi! The lasagna, another classic Italian dish and one of my favorites, was made so well and I can confirm it was actually 36 layers - I counted! The gnocchi was also so delicious and I sincerely loved the Indian twist on this one as well, with toasted cashews, Indian spiced tomato sauce, cilantro and red onion. It made the dense ricotta-potato dumplings feel a lot lighter and just once again complemented the Italian aspects of it so well!For our secondi, we ordered the house special for the night and I'm kicking myself because I don't remember the name of it, but it was so good!! You'll see it in the pictures, it was absolutely divine! Everything we had here was so delicious and I would recommend everyone come here, whether your visiting or just plain live in Denver!This place is perfect for special occasions and date nights, it has some serious mood lighting, gorgeously decorated, lively vibes, and an open kitchen concept with really awesome bar seating as well! You can't go wrong with Spuntino!"

Matt C. "Hopdoddy Burger Bar is a national burger chain. They have locations all around the country with most of them residing in Texas. This is their second location in Denver, sitting right off the busy intersection/shopping district of 9th and Colorado Blvd.The wife and I popped in here after an appointment not really knowing what we wanted to eat. This location is well kept and maintained, fairly clean, and lots of seating, including outdoor seating. You order at the counter, are told where to sit (which I thought was odd), and your food is brought out to you.Doddy Melt // two smashed patties, Swiss and American cheeses, caramelized onions, mayo & Comeback sauce on grilled rye bread. I'd say this was good, not great. The incorporation of American cheese was hitting real good, making for ooey gooeyness, but everything else felt a little underseasonsed to bring it all together. I also thought the rye bread (classic for a patty melt which I appreciate) was too overpowering for the burger patties.French fries are hand cut in the restaurant every day. They are served in a gigantic bowl and even for two people you might not be able to split them all. They were indeed crispy, but left a bit to the imagination. The chipotle ketchup had an interesting smokey flavor. The honey mustard sauce slaps, definitely get a few sides of that!I will say, they do try to keep it more local here with Red Rocks murals and local beers on tap. The beers come in a big 20 oz. mug that threw me off guard as it hit the table. Like woahhhh, it's a Monday!Not running back, but maybe they're known for some other burgers and combinations I haven't tried yet!"

Emily C. "4.5. Came by for dinner during Restaurant Week and overall had a lovely meal. Service was a bit rushed, but that was understandable given the big crowd. We both got the lobster ravioli for the appetizer course and it was really tasty -- just wish there were more than one ravioli! For mains, I got the salmon with caper beurre blanc and my SO got the bouillabaisse. I loved the salmon! Not fishy at all, tons of flavor, and the lentils were delicious. I didn't try his bouillabaisse (allergy), but he said it was pretty good. For dessert we went with the tiramisu and the lemon zest cheesecake. The tiramisu was amazing. The cheesecake was very non traditional and unique. We also finished about three bread baskets and the house red. Those bread baskets were a game changer and allowed us to leave feeling full. We were seated at a table near the counter and a staff member working behind the counter, on multiple occasions, was staring at us, listening to our conversation, and then interjecting. The first time it just seemed friendly, and then it got strange. It was quite uncomfortable and put a damper on the overall ambiance. Besides that, I enjoyed the setting and the charm of the restaurant!"

At first, the restaurant did seem a little unorganized as we were waiting by the door for a few minutes without being acknowledged, but once they sat us down, everything fell into place. Not only was the staff attentive, they were very quick to get us waters, menus, and get our orders out. We ordered 5 entrées to share, and we were not disappointed. The food was perfectly seasoned and was so flavorful. The spicy dishes had a kick, which was nice. We did try to not go too spicy as we were all sharing, but even the "hot" level did its thing! We've been talking about this place since we left, and can't wait to come back. Also, they were playing 2000's music which really made the ambience even better! Good food and great vibes!!"

I walked into a completely empty restaurant and I had to ask if they were open. They were fully staffed but no customers. It was nice to have the restaurant to myself to take pictures of my menu and food without other people looking, however. I started with the Kani Poppers. They were AMAZING! I love the crisp of the crust and the crunch of the jalapeños. The cream cheese added some creaminess to the mix and the sauce on top added the sweetness that tied all of the flavors together. It was a well balanced and filling appetizer. Of course for my entree I got the Surf n Turf Roll. I must say I expected a lot more flavor wise. The flavor of the filet mignon on top fell flat, and they stuffed the roll with a lot of avocado which I am not a fan of but I don't mind in sushi because usually there is only a small amount. The cold roll that I bought at Sprouts was way better and a lot more affordable which was disappointing to me. I will have to keep looking for a better surf n turf roll in Denver. I will say the service was good and the staff was friendly."

Justin S. "This is some of the best sushi you're going to find in Denver. The quality and freshness of the fish is exceptional, even reminding me of some of my favorite west coast sushi joints. The bluefin tuna tasted like the ocean, which previously I only thought possible when eating sushi on the west coast. The size of the rolls and handrolls are substantial, so you can get full eating here and spend very little relative to other sushi places. The ambience here awesome. It's a really tiny place, seems like they can fit at most 20 people. It smells and looks great in there, and during the evening they have nice dim lighting. The sushi chef and the rest of the staff are very nice and attentive. It's a great experience eating here. And it's the kind of place you can come anytime without reservations (still very little people know about this place, not sure why). They also offer delivery which is definitely something I'll take them up on at some point.If you're familiar with Sushi Sasa downtown, I think this has the same owner and the food is similar. I would say though that this place edges out Sushi Sasa slightly because the fish tasted fresher and the rice was warm right out of the rice cooker. I've ate at all the sushi institutions around (Sushi Den, Uchi, Matsuhisa, Temaki Den, Makizushico, etc) and this is legitimately right up there with all of them."

The restaurant did a fabulous job accommodating our group. We were given the back area with 2 long tables. This allowed us to easily mingle with each other as well as order food and drink. Our waiter (who also doubled as the bartender) effortlessly took all our orders as people filtered in and out. He was even able to split out the check by couples, which made things so easy. The pizzas were great and my friends who had the burgers also enjoyed their dinner. I highly recommend Sunnyside Supper Club for large groups."

Limited selection but still decent. The service is just okay. Anything local is usually better than a corporate chain. It mostly is the case here. The prices really aren't worse than many other stores. It's typical of a convenient store to take advantage of customers in a hurry. They sure do that here, but it's not all bad though. Some things have decent prices. The made to order items are the best values. Grocery items are pricier. This is good if you have some time. It has a pretty good menu of sandwiches and things from the deli. Prices are better for the made to order items. This is a better place if you have time for waiting."

There's a large patio here with picnic tables and some fire pits, but there are also hanging heaters which did keep the patio pretty warm, even without being enclosed. The picnic bench almost felt like it was heated, but it was just the hanging heaters.I wasn't a fan of the sour they had on tap, so I opted to try their seltzers. First I had the lemon hibiscus fuzz and later the watermelon yuzu mojito. They were both decent, though not amazing. I am honestly not a massive fan of hard seltzers, but I did like them better than the sour (and I don't like regular beer). The staff were very friendly though and let me try a few sips of drinks before ordering.Eventually our group moved to one of the firepits once some people left and it was nice and cozy. They actually had a bunch of camping chairs (vs adirondack chairs) which I kind of preferred, even though they're flimsier, because 1. they have cupholders and 2. you can fit more of the camping chairs vs. adirondack chairs and you can sit a lot closer to the fire.Definitely a cute spot and I was able to park on the street directly in front of the brewery which made my life easy as well."

Liz G. "This was our first visit since this restaurant rebranded from Roots to The Passenger.We arrived about 4pm on a Saturday and were off to a bit of a rocky start with the service initially. It took 5 minutes for anyone to notice we'd entered. Once we were seated, we both ordered a drink to sip on while browsing the tapas menu. The happy hour is a good deal, and we liked all the drinks we tried (house Merlot, Taj Mahal, and the First Lady).Unfortunately, my partner's drink came right away. The waitress said she would check on mine. She came back quickly empty handed and asked if we wanted to order. I didn't really want to yet since I still had no beverage, but we ordered 1 tapa and figured we could keep browsing. The tapa came out a few minutes later ... still no drink. We were prompted to order entrees. My partner said we'd prefer to wait until my drink arrived before ordering more.This was when the waitress mentioned they were short that day. I get it! She was friendly, doing her best, and obviously does not control the bar by herself. We ordered two more tapas, a couple more drinks as the evening went on, and a dessert. Everything we had was really delicious! There were a couple of instances of different servers, bringing food and drinks to the table that weren't ours. I think this was just a side effect of the staff being really busy.This place definitely deserves a chance. The food and drinks were both fantastic (the pretzel, poutine, chefs board, and the traveling donut - curry flavor! Amazingly good!). The service could use a little bit of work, but I think that is true a lot of places given the macro environment around finding people right now. The staff they do have are doing their best!They also have a cute frequent flyer program, so make sure you ask for your passport and start collecting stamps! I hope one day they will be able to expand the menu to offer more Arabian and Indian food options. Mezze would be great on the tapas menu!Note: There is a 3% fee added to each check for the kitchen.

The menu changes and you can't find the current menu online. So I had to call to order and the person on the phone patiently repeated it many times for me while I figured out what I wanted. As a visual person, this was a very challenging way to order. They said it should be on Instagram, but it wasn't today. Ordering challenges aside, the food is outstanding. I'm not 100% sure what all I ordered because I couldn't keep up with trying to write it all down as they read the menu to me. The only thing I know is that it was all phenomal. My only regret is not ordering the entire menu. I will absolutely be back because this is the level of good food that is not easy to come by."

Love the addition of Napa cabbage! PAPAYA SALAD is nothing to write home about - your standard shredded papaya and carrots. PAD SEE EW noodles are delicious and flavorful and a bomb of umami. PAD THAI WOON SEN is the knockout of the pack - do not fail to order this. THAI FRIED RICE is perfection - flavored well and I would in the top ten of Thai dishes I've tried in Denver area.
