Although I will say (and hopefully the managers take note on this).. to ruin the experience by turning off the TV's and Music, 10 minutes before the place closes - that's a pretty low class type idea there; it ruins the experience - don't make paying customers feel rushed/ we are on your time or like we are no longer your main priority in pleasing. Tv and music should shut off when your last customer is leaving the door. Besides that Food is absolutely steller - especially during crawfish season! You wouldn't even notice they come frozen; taste the same as fresh/alive. HUGE too. Boil combos are absolutely a bang for your buck compared to other places that offer similar.

Let me just preface by saying I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but my mama wanted to come here for…read moreher birthday, so here we ate. Had the fried shrimp basket and didnt much care for it. Whatever breading they used to fry the shrimp did nothing for flavor and was pretty bland/floury. Service was good as we had a little bit of a larger party. Got our own space on the side of the restaurant which was nice.

A brand new buffet opened up in Aurora, so I just had to check it out!…read more The business shares a large parking lot with the surrounding businesses. So there's plenty of parking you just might have to walk a little further to get to the door. We were greeted and seated immediately. We placed our drink orders and then we were off to the buffet. It was set up like any other buffet, there was an Asian station with the traditional Asian foods, a fried station with your typical American foods, and even a dim sum station hidden in the back. They also had a Mongolian Grill where you could create your own! And they had a couple rolls of sushi out for grabs. The flavor of the foods with nothing out of the ordinary, pretty standard and tasted normal. So I think for the variety of options you get and the price that you pay is worth it. I didn't get to try the Mongolian Grill, but I definitely wanna go back and give it a shot. They also had a soft served ice cream, machine, and a chocolate fondue station. They also offered fruits for dessert as well. With all of the options they have available. I think you could definitely find something for everybody. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely go back!

I came with a few friends and it was a fun experience to try. You start off by ordering with the waitress and then the subsequent rounds, you order off the QR code that's at the table. The restaurant was pretty busy so we had to wait longer than we wanted to place an order. As far as the food, it felt more like baos and dumplings, not so much the classic dim sum styled foods. Another con was that the menu had so many non available items-items that would have completed the dim sum experience a little better. If you want actual dim sum, go somewhere else. It was fun for the experience and value, so I was glad we came once.

Came on a Friday for lunch and had high hopes after recommendation. Only to find almost HALF the…read moremenu was not available to order or out of stock, yet we arrived before 11:30 am, only two tables and they open at 11. Table next to us says they only come for lunch and feel like they only serve the more wanted items for dinner and just say they are "out" because they've NEVER had it. If that is true, it is highly disappointing. AYCE is 18.99 per person. Here is what we were able to order: 1. Scallion Pancake- good crisp! I liked how light and delicious this bite was 2. Crab Cheese Wonton- these were HOT in terms of temp, but 99% cream cheese so it was okay. 3. Chili Oil Wonton: loved the flavor, however skin was a bit tough, didnt steam long enough. 4. Chicken Wing- very very dry, comes without any sauce or seasoning so its on the side. 5. Pork Bun- a bit dry, but it had a savory flavor too it, not as sweet. 5. Chasu Bun- loved this one more than the 6. Pork Dumpling (did not have Beef)- it was okay, filling was decent, but again the wrapper had a weird bite to it. 7. Soup Dumplings: definitely better than the other dimpling, however they all stuck to the bottom so the wrapper ripped and I never tried the soup. 8. Chicken Feet: i normally love chicken feet but the braised sauce was underwhelming and not very...good? flavorful? 9. House Noodles: the noodles tasted a bit off. Green beans tasted and looked can to me. It just wasn't a favorite. Desserts: 1. Mango was very artificial. 2. Mocha was good, nice chocolatey taste Overall...I dont know if I would be back. I had such high hopes to try the spareribs, taro buns, golden lava buns, beef dumplings, lotus bun, sticky rice, etc. But they were all "out". Again...for an AYCE place at lunch it was $42 before tip and it would've been nice to have the full menu array. The ambiance is very bright and large screens, so it can definitely capture your attention. There was only one main server and she was doing her best.

While it isn't "fine dining" quality, the value is unbeatable--especially since the food comes to you via a conveyor belt. For introverts, this place is an absolute dream! You don't have to constantly flag down a server for more fatty beef, squid, or noodles, only to have them bring out a tiny portion. There's no "begging for more" while your stomach slowly realizes it's too full for another round. The food is constantly replenished right in front of you on the conveyer belt. They have an ample sauce bar which every hot pot purveyer loves so it's well worth the drive when you're truly hungry

Traveling Mercies has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Denver area…read more The cocktails are the standout here. Everything is well balanced, thoughtfully put together, and consistently impressive. There's a good mix of classic foundations with more creative twists, and it all works. The food holds its own too. The oysters are always fresh and well shucked, and the smaller bites are just as strong. One of my favorites is the caviar with Ritz crackers, tartar sauce, egg, and chives. It sounds simple but it's done really well. It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of both the drinks and food makes it worth it.

We went up to Traveling Mercies so we could get an after dinner cocktail or two. It is a cute cozy little restaurant and cocktail place and we were seated at a 4 top table quickly. The two gentlemen working last night were so friendly and accommodating! Quick to give drink opinions and recommendations, we liked what we ordered for sure. Good cocktails and good vibes all around. We definitely would like to come back to try other drinks and dinner! I am not an oyster person, but they definitely had more than oysters to eat ;)

The interior is clean with lots of white- still a nice ambience. The lunch special portions are huge! We ordered kung pao chicken, pepper beef, Mongolian beef and hot and sour soup. The veggie spring rolls were great too. We keep going back and it's always consistent. The pepper beef is very spicy- loaded with stir fried jalapeño and tender juicy thinly sliced beef- so good. The hot and sour soup is the best I have had in years. Great service and finally fantastic flavorful Chinese food in Denver! We have lots of dim sum, but if you like flavor give them a try.

This is the third time I have been here. It is SOOOOOO good!…read more Today I tried two selections from the chefs menu. The Sliced Beef Combination in Chili Sauce and the Vegetable Delight. Let's start with the Sliced Beef. It is a little difficult to explain Sichuan Peppercorns if you have never had them. Probably one of the most accurate descriptions I have heard to date is that it is akin to 'addictive battery acid'. This is a food you experience! The flavors play in your mouth like a symphony while the peppercorns deliver depth and surprise like symbols crashing together at that exact right moment! And the peppercorns aren't overdone, they give just enough to excite your palate and make you want more. In stark contrast the Vegetable Delight is well seasoned al dente vegetables that just taste like home. This is not a boring standard mix either! We have King Oyster Mushroom, Broccoli, Bell Peppers, Wood Ear Mushrooms (a.k.a. Black Fungus) and my personal favorite: Lotus Roots. This is a light, bright well executed dish that is very soft on the palate after all the excitement of the sichuan peppercorns. The third dish I had today is the Pea Sprouts in garlic sauce. This is a humble green. Also done very well. You know the kids that don't like peas? That was never me. I have always loved peas! I would eat other kids peas that they didn't want. Imagine my delight upon discovering Stir Fryed Pea Greens! So good! They're Light, slightly crisp full bodied greens that give a satisfying chew! Pass the Pea Greens, please!!!!!! Chef Liu has only been here a few months and I am so glad they're here! The owners seem super nice too! It matters who cooks your food and the energy they impart to the work they do. This place is so clean energetically, iykyk. Looking forward to over ordering and having leftovers for later for years to come!!!!

Our server, Mateo, was fantastic! Remember details about us after introductions (where each of us was from, commented on my debit card since he's a member of the same credit union from CA -while we're both in CO!). He nailed our orders and the food came out pretty quick. I hadn't had bison brisket before, super tender and juicy, full of flavor. The sprouts were great and the broccoli was creamy and delicious. The mashed potatoes were puréed to perfection and the gravy was the perfect finishing touch. It was really busy for a Tuesday but we only waited about 20min. Totally worth the wait! Adding Ted's to my list of must visits in the Denver area. Highly recommend!!

I ordered the ginger chicken comfort bowl and that chicken was spicy through the actual ginger and the way it was combined. Never have had a better ginger dish. Six of us had different things along with appetizers and we are enjoying our leftovers for lunch the day after. Nourishing food, fresh, prepared with care--when we come back to visit the grandchildren, we will be sure to bring everyone out to eat here again. It is very loud in there, but with joyous conversation from everyone, saying a lot about enjoyment of the food, for sure; we had a corner table and with hearing aids we still were able to participate in our family's conversation amidst the cacophony. Think it would be difficult to have heard in a more central table. Walls help reflect sound back toward the table.

It's been a long time coming but Dan Da is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Colorado…read moreand probably in the US. When you think of Vietnamese, Americans tend to think of Pho, noodle bowls and lemongrass chicken but we need more places the focuses in home cooking and dishes that locals eat. Ingredients are fresh and dishes pack a powerful flavor bomb...I mean wow! The use of shrimp paste and other traditional ingredients really elevate flavors that many Americans are not used to, but you have to try it to understand. Their claypots are a must order and with a side of rice....you'll be eating for days! The star of the night was the pork and calamari claypot which is cooked in shrimp paste and your favorite Vietnamese spices and herbs. You'll finish bowls of rice with this dish, it packs so much flavor that you'll be wanting more. It's a great mix of salty, sweet and umami from the fermented shrimp paste. The Vietnamese curry was thick and packed with succulent shrimp. The veggies at a very nice brightness to balance out the coconut milk. The last dish we had was a shrimp lemon grass in the clay pot and that was also a hit with everyone! Service is amazing and they definitely know how to recommend dishes to match your taste buds. They went out of the way to help everyone and it shows. If you need a new spot, check Dan Da!

Since El Pelicano is across the street from my new house, it was the natural first place to start. You can tell by the pictures that they have a lively dining area complete with club lights, tropical plants on the walls, and beachy murals. Definitely reminded me of a beach club or resort vacation in Florida or Cancun. LOTS of TVs blasting "El Gran Charro de Huentitán" performances and a live mariachi group performed around 6pm or so. My Tacos de Pescado Estilo Ensenada was very generous and delicious. The fish was a little plain; I was hoping for more spice. The salsa had a nice kick though. I usually forget to check in and take pics because I'm so excited to stuff food in my cakehole, but I remembered this time! So glad I did because they have a check-in Yelp offer for a free margarita that you have to use during your visit. It was a full size marg and didn't taste like they skimped on the tequila. Our server was very sweet and did a good job as well. I can't wait to try more dishes and enjoy the entertainment!
