Sun Valley Kitchen

love it here the workers so niceee, the chicken isss gassssss, best food ever! super cozy environment!!

Go support this neighborhood gem!!! Sun Valley is, unfortunately, not home to many restaurants (yet...)- but Sun Valley Kitchen is much MORE than just a restaurant. The owners truly have a special mission (see their website) and have extending helping hands to their local neighbors and community. SOOOO awesome!OH yeah, let's not forget the food- delicious! I had a training at CDOT, so we walked here 3 days in a row one week- and I never got sick of it. The Vietnamese beef bowl and banh mi are incredible.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to sample many of the menu items during the soft opening of Sun Valley Kitchen. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly and enthusiastic about their new endeavor. I was able to meet the owner, Glenn, the head chef, Reuben, and a very nice young woman who was working front of house. For those who do not know, the Sun Valley neighborhood is somewhat lacking in dining options. The addition of Sun Valley Kitchen will have a marked impact on this area. I was excited to sample several menu items. The hummus was every bit as good as what I am used to. The iced-tea was straightforward and refreshing. The house-made chips were quite good. For me, the salads and sandwiches really shone. The Vietnamese Grilled Beef Salad (with Marinated Cucumbers, Bean Sprouts, & Cilantro Lime Dressing) was very tasty and a good choice for a lighter bite. The Traditional Greek Salad (with Roasted Tomato, Feta, Kalamata Olives, & Oregano Dressing) had some solid flavors. The Seasonal Roasted Vegetables were a welcome addition to my plate. Perhaps my favorite bite was the Vietnamese BBQ Beef Banh Mi (with Spicy BBQ Pork, Marinated Vegetables, Cilantro, & Banh Mi Sauce). I know people who will practically come to blows over how authentic this Banh Mi is versus that one. This one was done as a Panini, and definitely had all the flavors I was looking for. I do not eat Falafel that often, but I did like the Crispy Falafel Pita Sandwich (with House Made Falafel, Tahini Lemon Sauce, & Warm Pita). It had a distinct curry flavor to me, which I am still trying to decide if it was a plus, a minus, or neutral in the grand scheme of things. I had a bite of the Fresh Cut Fries smothered in Green Chile sauce with Cheese. This was comfort food with a kick. I finished off this fine, and reasonably priced, repast with a sweet mini-bite of peanut butter fudge.Aside from the excellent food, Sun Valley Kitchen has a mission. A portion of their proceeds directly fund the Sun Valley Community Center. Many of the recipes used at this restaurant were contributed by community members. In line with that, each Thursday Sun Valley Kitchen will be featuring specialty food items prepared by local residents. Funding from this will help support the food-based businesses of these same residents.***Current hours are 10:30am to 1:30pm***

I supporting this neighborhood gem! Great food, community support, rotating local chefs, community space, catering, cultural cooking classes, no-cost grocery program

If you have not yet tried the new SunValley Kitchen for breakfast or lunch you are missing out on a friendly place, great customer service and really good food at a great price! The breakfast burritos are pretty good, they make a good latte too, but lunch is my favorite...always a lunch special, soup choices, hamburgers, salads, fries with green chili and cheese are amazing and much more! Give them a try!

Super yummy! Love the chicken banh mi sandwich and their fries are bomb! And love that they support the local community.

Great food and great people. Love the choice of fresh food in Sun Valley. Glenn is an amazing guy with a heart of gold. The fries are amazing, love their daily specials. Thankful for a place to eat that is close by and delicious!

Just tried out this new restaurant on opening day. There are high expectations for this place I think because there are few options in this neighborhood and the kitchen is already a force in the community, as mentioned by a previous post. And those expectation seem to be getting met or exceeded. The place has an informal and warm vibe, and the kitchen seems to run like a well oiled machine on Day One (!). I had an excellent banh mi sandwich with some amazing Belgian-style fries. But the menu ranges widely, from carnitas to fish and chips to felafel. From what I've seen and tasted, they seem to be ace in all of it (although I haven't tried the coffee yet). I'll be back for sure!

Lunch here with friend, such a great neighborhood. Historic and now undergoing a face lift!This site is an old ?7-11 that has been ungraded, remolded, and has wonderful ambiance, simple, and diverse to match the surroundings. Sun Valley Kitchen fits well into a very special part of near west Denver. Just south of Bronco stadium, down the hill from Federal, old projects getting a restoration. Food is plain, simple, and terrific.

This place is awesome!The food is great, the people are great!We had them cater for our office just down the street, Del Norte, and everyone was able to get something they wanted and everyone loved what they had!I felt very welcomed and enjoyed the energy and atmosphere created. Go and enjoy!
