    Spicy ground pork over steamed rice, bok choy, corn. Unbelievably bland.
    Michael B.

    Chopstickers is a classic 'hole in the wall' spot located about a block and a half from the Convention Center. I visited there during a break from a convention I was attending and was glad to find it open. Service was brusque but reasonably fast. I ordered the Pork Water-Fried Bao and the Spicy Ground Pork over rice. Both looked great; but alas, both dishes were unaccountably bland. I'm not a 'five alarm fire is a great flavor' kind of guy but when a dish says 'Spicy Ground Pork', it better have more zip than communion wafers. Average it out, and this place scores a 3 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    Super impressed with everything we ordered! Great quality and freshly made meals! INCREDIBLE MEAL! Location is cute and comfortable! I want to come back!

    Vegan "water fried" bao. Perfect little snack!
    Stephanie C.

    Stopped in for a small snack with my husband to tide us over to dinner while we were in Denver. We had the "water fried" vegan bao, which is a bit more like a dumpling than what I usually think of as bao, but it was tasty and really hit the spot. The location is small, but tidy, and since we were there in the afternoon but before the dinner rush, it was relatively quiet. There was outdoor seating that would presumably be nice in warmer weather, but we stayed indoors because it was cold. Their restroom floor is slightly scary in that it looks a bit unstable and cracked, and it definitely showing some wear and tear, but was otherwise fine. Service was friendly and the food came out pretty quick. If I had more time, I would have liked to stop by at some point to try their vegan Dan Dan Noodles, but we didn't end up having a ton of wiggle room on our trip--maybe next time!

    You will not be disappointed. So good. VERY reasonable prices for so much food. .

    Pork water-fried dumplings
    Christina P.

    I was in town for work and this place was about a block and a half away, and I was craving dan dan noodles and dumplings. My favorite are water-fried dumplings (shengjian bao), so I ordered 8 pork along with a bowl of dan dan noodles. I wanted a drink too, but they were out of the classic milk tea, so the cashier recommended the peach tea with boba. Dumplings were great! Crispy bottoms, juicy filling -- exactly what I was hoping for. The dan dan noodles weren't as spicy as I like, but I appreciated that they included mustard greens and bok choy, which gave the bowl some nice texture and freshness. The bubble tea was... not good. Just way too sweet for my tastes, even after stirring it a few times. I ended up not finishing it. I came by during lunch and it was fairly busy. Most tables were full, but as a solo diner I was able to snag a table for two without any issue. Overall, solid spot for dumplings and noodles if you're in the neighborhood -- I'd definitely come back, but I'll skip the boba next time.

    I'm kinda fascinated by the vibe of this place. The decor feels like elevated casual dining while still maintaining a hole-in-the-wall small business energy. I came here with Hubby to keep him company while he ate dinner. I didn't order anything because I had already had eaten prior to coming here. But based on this first visit, I decided to come back the next day for lunch. I ordered the Vegan Dan Dan noodles which came with corn, baby bok choy, and pickled veggies. The amount of toppings were so abundant, you can't even see the large amount of noodles underneath. But they're in there with a light sauce. This meal hit the spot! https://yelp.to/tAOwJfnCvQ If I had a bigger appetite or more time in Denver for another visit to Chopsticks, I would check out the Vegan Bao. If I ever make a trip back to Denver, I'm coming back here :)

    Soup Dumplings, mushroom, chicken potstickers
    Kelly S.

    For Colorado it's a 4 star rating For the Bay Area, it's a 3 It's always when I travel I crave "home" food. I swung by here to grab some soup dumplings because of the reviews. It is fairly priced. Not really a restaurant setting (more like a Five guys for dumplings) * I got: - soup dumplings: meat didn't have flavor, dumpling wrapper is too thick, broth is okay. - chicken potstickers: "very popular" but I didn't like it at all. No flavor at all. - Woodward mushroom: loved this one! Overall the best part of this was the Woodward mushroom & how fast the food came out. Service was also good! Unfortunately I threw away half of the dumplings and some of the soup dumplings away..

    Peach Milk Tea
    Tyler C.

    Great dumplings!!! Line to order. Tip requested for pickup (I missed that 8% was added by business as a tip). Out of all rice dishes. Sugary sodas and teas with sugar too. Bao was excellent. Small but a few in an order.

    My husband and I were looking for a light snack to share, and we stumbled upon chopstickers... We are both suckers for a good steamed bun so we decided to try it! We weren't disappointed. We were cursing ourselves that we had decided to share because we both wanted to eat as many steamed buns as we could possibly fit into our bellies! The restaurant was clean inside and the service was great. Our food came out really quick and was super fresh. If you love, steamed buns... This is the place for you!

    Pork Potsticker and Pork Pork Water Fried Bao

    Amazing! We ordered the fried pork bao, pork potstickers, and the chicken fried rice. All were so good and tasted very fresh!

    The service is minimal and you pay first so you don't need to tip too much. The food is authentic, but very salty. It's a casual place for some comfort foods.

    Soup dumplings
    Adam Y.

    The Chopstickers at 16th and California was packed during lunch hours. With all seats taken for dine-in, many people had to share tables and made it part of the dining experience. Did not order xiaolongbao this time, but ordered the beef noodle soup and the new peach milk tea with jelly instead. The beef noodle soup was not as spicy as I thought, perfect for someone like me who normally avoided spicy food. The soup was rich, aromatic and not overly salty, the beef was slow cooked, tender and juicy and the handmade noodle was fresh, flavorful and chewy. Authentic, tasty and enjoyable overall. The peach milk tea was refreshing and fruity, but should ask for less ice, as it took me some effort to get to the jelly stuck between the ice cubes.

    Absolutely no. The food is similar to the packaged food you can get from any Asian grocery store and not the tasty ones.

Noodles are a regular fixture when we want a quick fix and our version of fast food. With plenty of seating on this Monday evening, our party of three were seated immediately. Menus and water arrived shortly and we perused the menu. They have a decent selection of ramen, udon, soup noodles, stir-fry noodles, rice bowls, and poke bowls. They also have a few izakaya options perfect for sharing. * Black Tonkotsu $18 - The Little Guy got this and slurped the whole thing up, even the wood ear mushrooms which he usually leaves behind. He actually asked to return the next day because he loved it so much and just loved it. 5/5 * Menya Special $16.50 - I got this one and it was fine. Although I think I was a bit jealous as the Black Tonkotsu looked like it had different kind of noodles. The egg was perfectly cooked. 4/5 * Udon $16.50 - The Little Gal had this as she is a fan of udon any day. She ate pretty much the whole thing herself. Overall, Menya Noodle Bar served its purpose. It's a no-frills kind of place in a prime location.

The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out.

Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.
