Uncle

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1533) • $$

"Classic! I feel like the line at Uncle has gotten shorter as the years go on, since they still don't take reservations. I've walked in for dinner on random weeknights, and I've been able to get a table or sit at the bar right away. As always in this neighborhood, come early if you're meeting others to carve out time for street parking.Usually I get the Veggie Khao Soi with side of fried tofu, but most recently this summer, I wanted to try something cold - the Hiyashi Mazemen. Sooo good and refreshing! They have a special where my partner and I could get ramen and a bottle of sake at a discounted rate. Service is great, and I love observing the chefs work their magic."

Uchi Denver

★★★★★ 4.5 (990) • $$$

"Probably the best meal I've had since living in Denver for the last 7 years. We went with friends and decided to splurge on the Omakase and so happy we did. It wasn't cheap , but had zero buyers remorse. It was 10 plates and by the last plate we were pleasantly full. I wish I could remember what each plate was, but once again hands down my favorite meal in Denver. Service was impeccable. The waitress went over the menu and told us what everything was and provided recommendations on what we should do. Would recommend if you love sushi and willing to spend the $ a perfect place to go on a date night."

Pepper Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (799) • $$

"Fantastic find! We arrived on a Friday night and were not disappointed at all. 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!!"

Go Fish

★★★★☆ 4 (879) • $$

"Go Fish has stood the test of time and has proven to be a reliable spot for sushi. Prices are right with no rolls over $20. You never leave here hungry.I've never strayed away from the sushi. They do have appetizers, kitchen items like fried rice and tempura dishes, and desserts. I've always been in a sushi mood here. They do have a vegetarian/vegan menu as well!And to be honest, we've never been disappointed. Here are the specialty rolls I ordered last time we dined in a few weeks back.+Fantasy Roll // spicy salmon, crunch, masago, avocado, mango, topped with seared togarashi salmon and white tuna, crispy rice puff, eel sauce, wasabi mayo.+Triple X Roll // spicy yellowtail, spicy tuna, crunch, jalapeño, topped with seared tuna, garlic chips, eel sauce, house sauce.Dependable sushi here at Go Fish. It's right on the main drag of Broadway on a lively corner, so expect to see some type of action while you're here. Once you're inside, you'll be taken care of. Weather permitting, sit outside on the patio!"

Ace Eat Serve

★★★★☆ 3.5 (993) • $$$

"I had no idea Ace Eat Serve specialized in Asian cuisine! I planned a triple date here on a weekday evening, eating dinner in the restaurant area first, then taking advantage of the 2 hours of pong time that came with our reservation. Happy Hour prices are amazing. I wasn't impressed with any of the fried food (most of the menu) but full-sized ramen for $11 is a steal. Worth coming for that. I got the Spicy Pork Ramen, while my partner ordered the Khao Soi.The cocktails were tasty (sooo many options!) all of which we enjoyed while taking turns on the ping pong table. The tables were spaced out plenty, and I loved exploring the Lucky Cat Lounge when I wasn't playing. I also found it amusing that all the messed-up balls were crammed into the walls. Great vibes and obviously perfect for personal and corporate parties. Parking wasn't bad. Service is great. Definitely coming back at some point."

Saigon Basil

★★★★☆ 4.4 (594)

"My son flew in for a wedding and we all went to lunch here to spend some time with him before he went about his busy weekend. We had a table of 12. The service was great and the place is big enough to accommodate. The place is nice. As promised, I took a picture of the egg roll vermicelli bowl. We had so many dishes that we also shared too. Everything tasted fantastic. Thanks for a great meal. Come check this place out on this side of town."

Pepper Asian Bistro II

★★★★★ 4.5 (561) • $$

"Went here for a lunch date. I have low expectations for some reason. Boy, ws I mistaken. Prices are reasonable for the quality. The service is superb, we were seated immediately. HUGE portions, and delicious flavor. I ordered the Thai Basil fried rice and was able to eat the rest for dinner. This is definitely one of the best Chinese food places in the City Park/Uptown/Congress Park area. Only second to Peters. A must try."

Băo Brewhouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (721) • $$

"This was a great spot for dinner before a show at The Buell. My daughter and I had reservations at the tea house upstairs. I will note it is a historic building and thus not accessible for any mobility issues. It took me a bit to get up the stairs to the second floor. The space between tables is tight. Our server was pleasant. He gave us some recommendations and answered our questions. We got a pot of jasmine tea to go with our dinner. It was served in a small cast iron pot to keep it hot. We ordered several items to share. The Pork Xiao Long Bao had five pieces. They were pork soup dumplings with sweet black vinegar and chili oil. Very tasty. We both love crab Rangoons so we had to order theirs. It had the signature crunch with the delicate filling. Each was topped with a piece of succulent crab and it came with pineapple sweet and sour sauce. That also had five pieces. So good! Next was Big on the Pig, five spicy pork dumplings with scallions, fried onions, spicy chili crisp and chili oil. The last item we chose was the Char Sui Bao. Three steamed barbecue pork bao buns with oyster sauce, scallion, daikon sprouts, furikake seasoning and sambal hoisin. They were delicate and pillowy. The filling had good flavor. We enjoyed our dinner. It is pricy, but you are downtown."

Hop Alley

★★★★☆ 4.1 (562) • $$$

"This was my husband and I's first time and it definitely blew our minds! As we entered the restaurant, it looks a little small but there is more seating. I really appreciate the cooks visible and a bar seating area. We went on a Saturday night around 6pm and luckily we were able to be seated right away! Food --Chilled Tofu 5/5 -- my favorite dish!! Everything paired so well together and it was spectacular. It is really flavorful and the juice can be overpowering but I rec eating it with rice!! Hong You Chao Shou 5/5 -- really tasty and flavorful. The chili oil is a little spicy and would rec putting it on the side. Mushroom Fried Rice 4/5 -- the rice was really great and the mushroom was super flavorful! The only thing I felt about this dish was that it was a little salty. Braised Pork Shank 5/5 -- the flavor was amazing! When you make a sandwich, it pair nicely was the fermented veggies! It complimented each other. Overall, I was definitely amazed by the food! The service was great when it came to filling our cup but our waitress didn't really come by often. Def great!"

JP Nori Sushi & Asian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.6 (437) • $$

"The ambiance is an old school eclectic, if you know what I'm trying to get at. It's not traditional Japanese but also not modern Asian fusion. I think it's because of the neon lights. Service wise I thought it was on a slower side even though we came in at a time that was not very busy. The dishes I enjoyed were the Hamachi Kama (salmon collar) and the Beef sushi roll wrapped in soy paper. The former was well seasoned and had a nice crust; the latter very tasty and tender. Unfortunately the rest of our party loved to order fried foods: from tempura to cutlets, neither was worth writing home about. The sizzling plates like teriyaki salmon is pretty standard as well: big portion but over cooked."

John Holly's Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (636) • $$

"Our favorite Asian restaurant! The service is top notch, the kindest staff. Our favorites are the pepper chicken, any of the sushi rolls, they always deliver- last time the unagi was warm, so just something to be aware of, that was a little different. The john holly chicken is good for the kids, basil chicken for something spicy, drunken noodles and pad Thai. The service is fast, the food is always piping hot and the serving sizes are big, we always order extra so we have leftovers. Do the same for yourself, and you'll thank me !"

Cody's Cafe and Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (400) • $$

"Dropped by this restaurant after landing in Denver. We were definitely in for a treat. Italian food with an Asian twist. Josh the bartender/waiter was so nice and attentive. We got the lemongrass penne, brussel sprouts, rigatoni and it was allllll delicious! The fresh baked bread was so perfect and the wine selection is amazing. Definitely don't want to miss out on this place. They currently merged with Cody's next door. So the food was from Both menus. Incredible! Chef Sue is killing it! We love you and will definitely be back for more!"

East Moon Asian Bistro & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (506) • $$

"East Moon never disappoints! I truly was happy to see they added bento boxes to their daily options. It is the right amount of food and it is out of the world. The service is always amazing and friendly. The ambience is everything you'd expect it to be!You will not be disappointed when visiting East Moon!!"

Sweet Ginger

★★★★☆ 3.8 (539) • $$

"This review is based on a takeout order- however I will start with saying that the restaurant itself is very quaint, I'd love to return and experience their wait service. I love the low-lighting atmosphere. Everything is fresh, and I could tell that by the taste. I've had a hard time finding good sushi in Colorado, and this place really hit the mark. The sushi did not taste old or fishy at all- very fresh and delicious. I also tried a side order of fried rice, and it was amazing. It tasted just like hibachi rice, which is a huge plus for me. They were quick and friendly with my order. I'll definitely be back!"

Jaya Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (482) • $$

"They had crab today so we ordered Singapore chili crab, salt and pepper crab and garlic butter crab. The best was the salt and pepper crab. The seasoning was spot on. I had some of the other two but finished the salt and pepper. They didn't want to wait all night for me to eat so I packed up the other two leftovers. They had beef rendang and char koay teow. Finished those up right away. I eat slow: oh well. It was a treat and not inexpensive."

Karma Asian

★★★★☆ 4 (482) • $$

"Trying to decide where to eat on Broadway is a WHOLE thing. So many options, not enough time. I can't remember why we ended up at Karma, but I'm pretty sure it was because the friend I went with is obsessed with the lychee martinis and spicy edamame. And we really wanted some sort of Asian soup. All the above 100% lived up to the hype!Parking can be a challenge on Broadway, but it's not too bad if you arrive shortly before people get off work, around happy hour time. I think the wait staff became amused by how many orders of spicy edamame we kept putting in... like three, including one to-go. I had a lychee martini, which was strong and not to sweet. Both of us also enjoyed delicious bowls of soup.Would love to come back at least for the lychee martini and edamame! They have a ton of other great menu items I'd love to try, especially since I'm always on the hunt for the best Asian restaurants in Denver. Come here for a date, with friends and family, or by yourself. I found it to be a peaceful (read: not rowdy) experience that was the exact vibe I was looking for."

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!"

Indochine Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (464) • $$

"We always love Indochine! The service is incredibly friendly, the environment is pleasant and never too loud - easy to enjoy a conversation with friends. And the food is absolutely fantastic! Our favorites include the Drunken Noodles with beef, the yellow curry and the pineapple curries are both creamy and decadent with perfect flavor, and the sushi - such unique flavor combinations that you don't find elsewhere! We love the Tropic Thunder, Nutty Chicks, and Kona rolls. Don't miss eating here!"

Honey Basil Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (529) • $

"A true hole in the wall! I came to Honey Basil on a Saturday night. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and told to choose a sea anywhere in the restaurant. It was a bit slow but I appreciated it :)(I've realized that this place used to be called Spicy Basil but got a new menu and updated to Honey Basil!)We got served water and the server told us about the menu and food since it was our first time. We got recommended the Garlic Pepper Udon which caught my attention! Our server also informed us about their specials, they had buy one get one free on beers. We both got Coors light to enjoy but what a great deal! I was so excited to hear that lol. We ordered: - Spicy Basil Fried Rice: Very delicious and has a good kick of spice with the jalapeños that they add.- Pad See Ew: So yum! Simple but the flavor of this dish was fantastic, just a solid classic!- Lastly, Garlic Pepper Udon, which was absolutely INCREDIBLE! The recommendation sold us and it did not disappoint. Literally every other table around us had ordered this dish too. It's that good!! Trust me. Service was great! Atmosphere was nice. Prices are soo affordable! And the speed of getting served was awesome. I will definitely be back! Perhaps a new regular spot!"

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (414) • $$

"We were shopping and still had to drive somewhere else so we decided on lunch first. We enjoyed our first Bonchon experience in Aurora so we came in here. The server was pretty and nice. She let us decide on our order. Unfortunately they were out of boneless chicken so we went with chicken tenders. There was wing in our order and I did like it. He doesn't like bone in or I would have ordered that. Half and half. Chose pickled radish as the side. It helped balance the spice level out. Parking is on the street or in the lots across the way."

Tibet Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (305) • $

"I've never had Tibetan food and had always wanted to try Momos. This place was super affordable and delicious. We ordered the sampler momos, and you can pick any combination of chicken, beef, and vegetarian. The chicken momos were my personal favorite. The chutney it came with is pretty spicy, but pairs super nicely. I ordered 3 dishes, including the dinner special, and it totaled to $26.50. I'd recommend sitting on their patio because the inside is a bit cramped."

Seoul ManDoo

★★★★★ 4.8 (223) • $$

"Heard this place had some good dumplings so I had to try it. I got the kimchi fried dumplings and the meat baos. The fried kimchi dumpling was a hit! very crispy and tasty with the dipping sauce. I didn't care too much for the meat baos, it was a bit tasteless. Enjoyed the side of radish too. Resturant is small with limited tables. I did order to go."

East Moon Asian Bistro & Sushi

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (447) • $$

Top Pho Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (261) • $

"The outside of this restaurant is extremely sketchy but the food is good! Ordered takeout over the phone requesting pho with brisket/tendon/tripe and replacing tripe with tendon. Service was super fast and the staff are super nice. I felt like they could have included a little more meat, but perhaps portions would be better for dine in. There was a generous amount of broth and sprouts and basil on the side and it was reasonably priced for the area (S 11.95, M 12.95, L 14.50)."

Sunflower Asian Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (331) • $$

"So I was in the neighborhood and wanted Chinese food and I had never eaten here before. I decided to check it out. Located in an unassuming strip mall area, the restaurant is fairly small but decorated nicely and appeared clean. I entered and a woman said "Sit wherever you want." So I found a seat and proceeded to wait. The restaurant wasn't busy. There were only 2 other tables occupied in the restaurant. I waited quite some time and finally flagged down a server. She was an older lady, who literally was glaring at me as she approached me! I politely asked if I could get some service and she stomped off without saying a word. I was starting to get up to leave when a younger woman came to take my order. I was hesitant to stay, but thought " what the hell" and placed my order. It took quite awhile for my food to come out and lo and behold, it was "Bad Grandma" delivering it to my table. She literally slammed the plate down in front of me and walked away. No offer of a refill on my drink, nothing. The food did taste very good, but rarely have I ever experienced such hostile service. Therefore for me, this is a one and done. I won't return."

Ros Siam

★★★★★ 4.5 (217)

"One of the big sellers for me was the private parking lot. It's a rare find near downtown. The interior and exterior are very cozy and cute and it feels like a family owned establishment. There are a lot of seats as well - both indoors and outdoors. The staff is so kind and attentive. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area.The food was delicious. Everything we ordered was so good. The Thai tea wasn't overly sweet and didn't taste like a powdered drink. The Tom kha was delicious. I ordered a small soup because I was full but really wanted to try it. So coconutty and fresh. The pad Thai was delicious and wasn't overly cooked with onions and bean sprouts. The moo yang was delicious with the sticky rice. Everything was super tasty. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the mood for some Thai food."

303 Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (249) • $$

"I didn't even know this place existed despite visiting Arvada a good chunk of times! It's pretty hidden behind the old town Arvada. The inside is ultra cute and right when you walk in you are greeted by the famous Lofi girl doing her homework from YouTube playing some cozy music in the background. They have a range of different stuff here. My parents and I got ramen while my fiancé got the drunken noodles. My dad and I got the 303 Ramen. It's pretty unique and has a kick to it. There's a bunch of cheese in it but it's all melted into the bottom so be sure to scoopity scoop to eat with your ramen. Broth is tasty. My mom's Tonkotsu Ramen was apparently not impressive. She said it was salty and reminded her too much of instant noodles. My fiancés drunken noodles were apparently quite spicy and he had a pretty high tolerance for spicy stuff. If this was how it's like for medium spice I wonder how the maximum spicy level would be! Oh and the appetizer platter was fun, but I only enjoyed the steamed dumplings. Not bad of a place if you're craving all this stuff."

Spicy Basil

★★★★☆ 3.6 (326)

"I've been in a Chinese food desert since moving back to Colorado from San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Especially when it comes to delivery. But now that Whole Foods closes at 9pm, my options are even more limited, if I don't want to cook & want to eat dinner btw 9-10pm.Enter the relentless GrubHub delivery / rating search, which I sometimes corroborate with Yelp. I'd seen Spicy Basil a few times before, but hadn't tried it yet. WOW! Was I impressed tonight!!!! My food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Royal Chicken and the Tropical Fried Rice, and both were/are phenomenal. I intentionally ordered enough to have leftovers for at least two more meals, and am so happy I did. The food was fresh-tasting, with all the right flavors. It was finally trustworthy, reliable Chinese food.As of now, this is my new go-to! :-)"

Okinawa Japanese Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.1 (246) • $$

"3.5 stars. Met a friend here for lunch one day, though parking wasn't any easier in this neighborhood on a weekday afternoon. Service was great, but the experience overall wasn't very memorable. I'm sure the fish was fresh, but what really stood out was the fish:rice ratio as shown by photos of their sushi. Generous portions for a reasonable price, which is even better at lunch.On that note, check out their lunch specials specifically. Okinawa seems less busy than nearby restaurants so it's an obvious choice in terms of wait and crowd. Or just get it to-go or delivered. Can't remember what exactly I ordered but enjoyed the variety in types of rolls and fish. Humble little spot right on Tennyson. Worthy contender for "everyday sushi" in Denver."

Bangkok Tokyo Asian Fusion

★★★★☆ 3.8 (280) • $$

"This is our go to Asian carry out place. Friendly service and predictable food. Love that they deliver."

Cherry Village Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (292) • $$

"The food here is really solid. The orange chicken is simple and tastes perfect. The General Tsao's is really tasty as well (wish it had a little more of a kick to it though), and the wontons are pretty good too. The service is great, very friendly, very attentive, but this place is a better place for lunch than dinner, it is a little expensive with the dinner menu."

V Revolution

★★★★☆ 4.4 (204)

"This is a plant-based vegan/vegetarian casual eatery that serves Asian fusion food. Until my new friend suggested this to be our little lunch get-together place the past Wednesday, I had no clue about its existence (or I had heard about it but the knowledge somehow fell into oblivion.) Therefore, I owe my friend huge thanks.I couldn't wait to dine here. I browsed the menu a few times online beforehand so that I wouldn't be so indecisive when I got here on the day of. Japanese Katsu Rice Bowl caught my attention but I thought I'd try to be spontaneous was my intention.I jinxed it. I got me the Katus Bowl when I got here. I mean at least that would be a great starter item to pick for my very first visit.My friend said what she likes about this place is that they serve food in a to-go container even if it's a dine-in. That way, people would not feel so obligated to finish all of their food; they can always take the rest home with them to avoid food waste. I kind of agree with this concept because both my friend and I could not finish our food as the portions here are pretty generous.I truly enjoyed my Katus Rice Bowl. At the first impression, the entire food looked salty (I simply dislike salty food.) I was wrong (and glad to be wrong!!.) Although there was a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce over the katsu part, it wasn't salty at all. And the veggies that were underneath the katsu were cooked to the perfect texture. In other words, they weren't soggy or too raw.This restaurant is surrounded by hospitals and medical offices. It must be very popular amongst those workers from those places. Although on a Wednesday that seemed typical, we were one of the few people who dined here during the peak noon lunch time. The lady at the ordering counter said that this place opened during the peak of the pandemic. I truly hope that they are getting enough foot traffic. For a restaurant that focuses on plant-based only food, they should get more accolades from people who prefer this type of diet. With that said, they have my utmost support for sure!! I'll definitely be back soon. I will try one of the noodle bowls at my next visit."

Zen Asian Sushi Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (303)

"We eat here every time I come to Denver because we know everyone can find something they like, and the food always comes out consistent. I always order the Asian nachos as well as edamame to get started. I've ordered different bowls but have really been sticking to rolls the last few visits because they are so good and easy to share.Service is always fantastic, and we sit in the sushi area so we can watch the chefs at work and relax. I love the variety of foods available. And who thinks about dessert? We did... and it was worth it!!!"

Shanghai Garden

★★★★☆ 3.8 (242) • $$

"If you're from California you will love Shanghai Garden. It's the closest taste I could find to what I'm used to. The egg rolls are big a crunchy, the noodles are a little smoky, and all their dishes have the best sauces. I used to come here a few years ago and the portions were really small and the price was really big. I think they have fixed that problem because we had plenty of food and two more meals to take home. The service is great, same owner as always and she is very pleasant. I didn't like the comfort of their booths, the back of the booth hits your back at a weird place and I was sitting straight up. Tables were great! I'll be getting the orange beef every visit! So good, sweet and a little spicy with a nice crunch."
