I've been wanting to try this place for a while! I love the logo of pig and tiger and the story behind it. I started off with the May mei, which is what my mom calls me, so it was special to see it as a drink. Loved it! Honestly, the drink menu here makes my heart so happy! They even have heysong soda as part of their desserts. We ordered the gua bao, the Dan Dan noodles, and the fried chicken and were very full! I saw that the fried chicken was one of their trade mark dishes - it was very fried, very crispy. I've probably never had crispier chicken! The rice that went along with it was so good and I loved that there was bokchoy pieces in there. Very cool to see their interpretations of dishes I've eaten growing up. So glad I tried it, would love to come back. It is on the pricier side for us, so we probably won't be back casually, but I'm so glad I got the experience. We had a reservation and the service was good. Everyone was friendly! Loved seeing all the plants in there. Definitely a nicer spot that isn't downtown! read more

When our anniversary dinner reservation was canceled by another restaurant, we decided to try a new, last-minute adventure and found Pig and Tiger and they saved the day. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted, the food was fresh and perfectly executed, and I'm pretty sure my spouse was wondering how to steal their in-house hot honey. I particularly loved the vegetable dumplings, which were a wonderful balance of tangy and savory, and I highly recommend the shaved ice/panna cotta dessert. Also, a sincere shout out to our server Alex H. who was one of the best servers I've had at any restaurant, anywhere, ever. read more

5 stars to me means everything was executed to perfection for the things *I* care about and that's the food. We took a gamble on Pea Shoots. Freaking amazing. The Spicy dumplings were some of the best I ever had. The NY Strip was over but it was very tender and the glass noodles were so addictive. Their chili oil is crack. Seriously. Eat bowls full. Didn't do any cocktails, sorry. Mars Iwai is a solid Japanese whiskey that drinks like a bourbon. The area is funky. The vibe is chic. The service is legit. If you have not been here as a local your missing out. I wish there was more like this in my hometown. read more

Pig and Tiger was a great overall experience. We ordered 3 apps and 3 entrees for 4 people... which was definitely too much food. The spicy wontons were the highlight (perfect sauce), and the lamb shank special was incredible and should be a permanent menu item. The jellyfish salad was unique, but the texture wasn't for me so I just stuck to the spicy cucumbers in it! Mocktails were creative and tasty, just slightly overpriced. Biggest complaint in general was the price, felt like most everything was slightly overpriced to be honest. Would come back though (andddddd probably order less next time). read more

I heard great things about Pig and Tiger and having watched Top Chef, I was pretty excited about coming here. We got the dumplings, pork belly bao buns, and the Taiwanese fried chicken. Everything was tasty. The pork bao, which I forgot to take a picture of, was served as a build-your-own bao. The pork was tender and the mustard green contrast the richness of the pork extremely well. The Taiwanese fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned and the chicken fat fried rice is to die for. One major complaint is that the food is overall on the pricy side. This is especially true considering all the amazing dim sum restaurants that opened up in Denver recently. Additionally, the flavor was adjusted more for the American palette. That said, everything was tasty and our group left full. I definitely would return to try other dishes, especially when they revamp their menu. 3.5/5 but rounded to 4/5. read more

Pig and Tiger is located in a unique area, there is not a lot of restaurants around but in downtown Denver. The staff were friendly and helpful. They answered our many questions and made great recommendations - 4 to 5 dishes for our table of 4. We were full but not stuffed by the end of dinner. The pork belly baos melted in your and provided dedicated which allows you to make them as to your liking. The fried chicken was "chefs kiss", and the vegetables dumplings were surprisingly flavorful. I was too busy enjoying the cocktail to take a photo . I highly recommend the May Mei. read more

We ate there in March of 2026. I have to say as a chef you are in a constant search of that perfect bite that encompasses all of your skills, textures and flavors and at the Pig and Tiger that was the potstickers appetizer. Spicy, sour, sweet umami dumplings were the highlight of the evening. I loved that the Chefs plated and served a dish to every table. Our hostess and server were very accommodating and intentional though I wish our water service was more frequent. Oh and the cocktails! My wife had the May Mei inspired by the Chef's mother and it was amazing! The ambiance was a bit noisy but the decor was tasteful and went well with the menu design. All in all whenever we are back in Denver we will be dining here again. read more

One of my favorite Denver openings of 2025 -- this fantastic Taiwanese restaurant in Five Points with the friendliest staff and sleep, moody vibes (that surprises you with also one of the best wine menus in Denver)! Super impressed by the creative wine list -- very unexpected that I'd find some of my favorite options in town here! My surprise food favorite? The jellyfish salad -- crunchy, bright, refreshing. I could eat it every day. Other dishes we loved: - Pork/Shrimp Chili Dumplings - LA Beef Roll with Beef Shank & Tongue (no longer on the menu but needs to come back) - Mapo Tofu - Braised Pork Rice (Lu Rou Fan) - Saucy Pork Noodles with Pork Ragu (Zhajiangmian) - Taiwanese Fried Chicken (GF) - Shaved Ice Dessert with Almond Panna Cotta, Pineaple, and Thai Basil read more

As a Taiwanese-American, I'm so happy to see a restaurant in Denver represent Taiwanese cuisine, even if it still follows the theme of fusion, a lot of the dishes here are executed really well. Some of my favorites: - Jellyfish salad: may not be everyone's jam, but the seasoning is spot on. There's a lot of cucumber in it if you're curious to try but nervous to try jellyfish. - fried chicken: I've tried this twice now and there was an improvement between the first time to second time. Seasoning was a better representation of Taiwanese chicken cutlet, and the rice took on some more garlic ginger flavor. - LA beef tacos: I heard they recently took this off the menu but really loved the play on LA street tacos meet beef rolls. - shaved ice panna cotta: hits the spot each time, a must! So good and one of my favorite desserts in all of Denver. The one caveat: I do think their cocktails could use some work. The concepts all sound great but sometimes there's a bit too much going on in the drinks. I don't mind this though as I'm at restaurants 95% for the food. Excited to try their winter menu with beef noodle soup and soy milk for breakfast! read more

This was a complicated experience to rate - lots of highs and lows that averaged out to about a 3.5/4. Some dishes were great, some not good. Service was good. Prices are higher than I expected (especially for dishes that are street food in Taiwan) and for inconsistent dishes, it made me question the rating, but the good parts really carried the rating. The dishes we got to share between two people: pork belly gua bao, beef noodle soup, fried chicken. We had some leftover chicken. Fried Chicken: the dish that carried. Seasoning and texture of chicken was incredible. You get a half chicken. The rice was a simple fried rice, but delicious. This was the priciest, at $40, and originally gave me stick shock, but they really did do a good job. We talked about coming back just for this dish. Gua bao: pork belly was cooked very well. The bun could've been softer - it was a bit stiff and made me question whether it was just heated up from frozen. Beef noodle soup: the biggest disappointment, but also because I love BNS. The soup was SO salty. Tasted like a bowl of soy sauce. The beef wasn't tender and the noodles were too al dente when they should be bouncy (as good Asian noodles are). Overall, if you're new to Taiwanese/Chinese food, these flavors could still be very satisfying and I would recommend it. Cozy, but elevated ambiance and nice people really make it a worthwhile destination. read more

After seeing it on social media for a while now, we finally made a stop in. It's a trendier Asian spot. I was worried the food would be Asian fusion but I was surprised that it's actually heavily Taiwan based with some fusion and substitutions. We made reservations ahead of time for a group of 4. Service is incredible. They're very nice and food comes out pretty quick. We ordered the jellyfish salad, fall vegetable dumplings, jade noodles, braised pork rice, and the LA beef roll. The vegetable dumplings were quite delicious. It had butternut squash and something else but flavors were very good. The jade noodles were made with a "Taiwanese" pesto. I'm not really sure what makes it Taiwanese but it was quite good. The LA beef rolls were my favorite. It's deconstructed and you make it yourself. It's served with a scallion tortilla inspired by the chefs roots in LA. Very tasty. Definitely need to come back with my partner. read more

A friend and I came here for an early reservation right after work and were seated right away. It was packed by the time we left. It has a cool, dark vibe.

They were all good, but some of it was too spicy for me. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday evening and had made a reservation. This place was fairly full and they have a Taiwanese/Korean influenced menu. The chef has his own take on traditional Taiwanese dishes, which was quite refreshing to see. We started with an order of cocktails, my husband and his friend got a teapot of the old fashion, which was Nice. I got the pandan drink, which was very spirit forward and alright - wish it had more pandan. For appetizer, we got the spicy pork wontons, which was really good - the sauce that it came with was my favourite. It was spicy yet not salty, which a lot of Asian places tend to do. We also got the crispy potatoes which was honestly quite surprising. I love how well it paired with the sauce , which was more like a spicy gochujang. For mains, we got the Jade noodles which came with pesto that I have never tried in Asian dishes and it was really amazing. I would highly recommend this dish to anyone who is dining here. We also got the spicy pork noodles, which were good. For desserts, We got the chocolate cake, which was more like a chocolate mousse, but it felt like I was almost eating bland noodles with a lot of Sesame. I think the desserts here could be better. Overall, I think we had a good experience out here. The service was attentive yet, not intrusive. The ambience is dim late and rustic. I think this is a good new Asian spot that we have in Denver. Parking can be an issue so I recommend coming in a few minutes ahead of your reservation to find a spot. read more

Pig and Tiger is a new Taiwanese fusion restaurant in the LoDo area of Downtown Denver. Looking at it from outside, it may not seem like much, but upon walking in, one can sense that they will have a culinary experience. Do be aware that the only parking in the area is metered and timed street parking. I loved the atmosphere here. Dark, moody, great for catching up with a friend or to take someone on a date that you want to impress. The music and overall sound levels in there make it so conversation flows naturally. Service was on point. Our server accommodated all of our requests and took care of us very well. Huge kudos there! The food overall was good albeit either very salty or not salty enough. The mapo tofu and sweet and sour soup I found to be overwhelmingly salty. The mapo tofu in particular I had to eat with a healthy spoonful of rice to endure the saltiness. Sesame noodles and jellyfish salad were very bland in my opinion and I felt like I needed extra sauce or salt for those. Prices are on the higher end but along the lines of what you would expect for a higher end restaurant in Downtown Denver. read more

Friends texted us this would be a spot my husband and I would really enjoy. The next day we had booked reservations and off we went. Our friends know us well. There were so many good options but we started with the vegan dumplings (I literally scraped the plate clean), pork dumplings (tasty according to my husband but he thought the spice and vinegar overpowered the pork), fried potatoes (this was one of my favorite of the night), cold sesame noodles (awesome chew to the noodle and the vinegar on the veg helped cut through the sesame richness) and finally the fried chicken with chicken fat rice. Pretty much had us at chicken fat rice and man was this good. We took pieces of the fried skin and stuffed it with that epic rice. Pretty much looked like raccoons had taken over our table by the end of the night. We shared the toddy cocktail (for 2) and it was so interesting how the flavors changed as we worked our way to the bottom of the pot. Service was as incredible friendly and so fast. The space itself was active but we could still hear each other talk which is a welcome change to some dining room designs. Overall this was a huge hit and we'd absolutely come back. read more

Incredible service, delicious, fresh & unique flavors and a beautiful interior. We hadn't found an Asian restaurant we loved in Denver until we found Pig & Tiger. My go-to is the Cold Sesame Noodles. We also for the Vegetable Dumplings & Braised Pork Rice. Dining done right. read more

Pig and tiger offers a gorgeous upscale Taiwanese influenced meal in Denver. Allergen and gluten free markings make ordering a breeze and the mocktails had us talking about them hours later! We ordered half the menu but the standouts had to be the crispy potatoes ( if you are not a salt lover these are not for you- but we love a salty dish), the charred broccoli, the chili wontons, and the chocolate marquise. If you get one thing it would need to be the chocolate marquise that combines a gluten free chocolate mouse that feels more like a brownie with black sesame and ice cream. This dish made my entire night and left us so incredibly satisfied. Add this to your list! Definitely use resy to ensure you get a table! read more

Really cute vibe, service was prompt and kind. We showed up at 5 on the dot when they opened with no reservation and it was seemingly easy to get in. It didn't start filling up until like 6-6:30. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for me. I will admit that I'm not familiar with Taiwanese food so maybe it was spot on for what is traditional but I personally like more flavor in my dishes. (1) Chili Wontons: now these were amazing. I would come back over and over just for these! A hint of spice but super fresh. I was turned off by reading it has shrimp inside because I was worried it would be fishy and it was not (2) Pork Belly Bao: really nice presentation but the pork belly was a bit tough. (3) Mapo Tofu: I love tofu and mushrooms but the flavoring was just a bit light for me. Maybe this is more traditional but I would have preferred more pungent flavors. Felt monotonous overtime eating it. (4) Pesto Noodles: I didn't actually order this as I don't love pesto but my friend did. She said it was pretty good but I also thought it was light on flavor. My biggest disappointment was the wine program. Everyone likes different things but I tried 3 different reds and I did not prefer any of them. I ended up with the margarita cocktail which ended up being the highlight. It had earl grey tea in it and it was phenomenal. I'd come back for happy hour and snacks but not necessarily on my own accord read more

Pig and Tiger - Pork belly bao - Taiwanese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Tried P&T while visiting my older daughter here in Denver. Despite several key entrees not being available (they were out of noodles from the weekend), the remaining items on the menu gave our group a positive dining experience. Our group tried the guo Bao with pork belly, lobster mee fun, mapo tofu, vegetable dumplings, crispy potatoes, and braised pork rice. All were flavorful and captured the Taiwanese essence. Note this is Taiwanese-fusion cuisine and not all straight traditional Taiwanese dishes. Being Taiwanese-American, we were really hoping to try the Taiwanese signature dish -- Beef Noodle Soup, but no noodles postponed that for another visit. Rabbit, Ox, and Monkey will visit again. read more

Came here with my husband for Valentine's Day, we heard great things and were excited to try! I can't recall having much Taiwanese food in the past, and this certainly did not disappoint. Every dish we ordered plus the cocktails were amazing. The Taiwanese fried chicken is popular, and I particularly loved the hot and sour soup. Our waiter was very attentive and food came out promptly and was delivered as expected. The ambiance is very nice, perfect for a date night. Parking can be scarce in this area so plan for some extra time to find a spot, or take an uber. Overall we had a great meal and would come back! read more

A pig and a tiger walk into a bar... and out comes one of my new favorite restaurants in Denver. Pig & Tiger, located in Five Points across from the former Mercury Café, completely blew me away. They started as a food hall stall in Boulder, but this brick-and-mortar location is something special. Their Taiwanese-inspired menu blends traditional classics, modern flavors, and creative twists -- all made with local Colorado ingredients. The result? Comforting, bold, and beautifully balanced dishes in a cozy, intimate setting that's perfect for date night, friends night out, or honestly any occasion (okay, maybe not childbirth, but never say never). What I Tried: * Fried Shrimp Cocktail with Thai basil and ginger cocktail sauce * Charred Broccoli with Taiwanese cabbage, black soy, and garlic * Crispy Potatoes with pickled fresnos and scallions * Chili Wontons with shrimp, pork, and chili oil * Cold Sesame Noodles with crispy shallots and chili oil * Pork Belly Buns (10/10!) * Taiwanese Fried Chicken with orange honey -- truly life-changing * Shaved Ice with almond panna cotta and pineapple * Chocolate Marquise with ginger ice cream * Baobing Sour & Mei Mei cocktails (both hits!) Best Bites: The Taiwanese fried chicken was perfection -- crispy, flavorful, and that hot honey drizzle? Wow. The pork belly buns were insanely good, the broccoli was a surprise favorite, and the shaved ice dessert was the perfect refreshing finish. Everything here just works. From the food to the cocktails to the vibe, Pig & Tiger is one of those places that makes you excited about dining again. Go try them out before the word really gets out! read more

Very beautiful restaurant and friendly service. We tried the special filet o fish, the fried chicken, pork noodles, jellyfish salad, broccoli, wontons, and the bao buns. There were four of us, and it was recommended we order about 10 items. By the time the fourth dish came we were full we liked the wontons the best, but nothing else particularly stood out. read more

This place is super vibey. Dimly lit and has a bar area and waiting area. We made a reservation for 8 on a saturday night and had to wait till 8:30 to be seated. Kinda annoying we had to wait so long, but the staff were super nice. Our server was also super nice and knowledgable. She asked about allergies and was able to swap things out for a peanut allergy. Service was definitely great here. Food came out in a reasonable time as well. The bao buns were decent. The sauce on the pork belly did not have a very complex flavor, but the toppings made the bao buns better. The salt pepper shrimp were good as well. The body is de-shelled and the head is still intact. Super crispy and flavorfull! However, $20 for 4 shrimps. The fried chicken is the crispiest chicken I have ever had. So super crunchy, but the chicken isnt dry. It comes with a breast, drumstick, thigh, and wing. The orange chili honey that it comes with pairs perfectly well and adds some spice. I really enjoyed the chicken fat rice that it comes with. Overall, good service and good food. I am not used to denver pricing so I thought everything was overpriced so I probably won't come back. read more

Our supper club had been awaiting the opening of Pig and Tiger, and I must admit as I work in the area, that I was particularly curious to see whether this spot would be a hit. We went not too long after opening, and even though it was early days, the staff did an excellent job and the dishes were well executed. The environment was also welcoming. We tried some unique cocktail renditions, a couple featuring sorbet and ice cream float additions. They also offer a limited selection of the usual suspects, wine, beer, and also soft drinks and tea. We began the meal with Crispy Potatoes, which were a real textural exploration. Strong recommend! On a similar, but very different note, we also had the Jellyfish Salad. (I may have persuaded the group on this one, but I found it really tasty and well done.) Next came the Chili Wontons. No real complaints, but given other variants of these elsewhere, I would've been fine skipping these. We ordered the Saucy Pork Noodle, which came with a rich and satisfying ragu. (This would make a thoroughly enjoyable stand alone item for those dining solo...note to self she said.) We also tried the Pork Belly Buns, which were served assembly style. If I were to do that dish again, I would consider adding an extra bao bun to make the fun last. The LA Beef Roll I wasn't really all that invested in initially, but I was surprised just how impressive it proved to be. The two preparations were handled perfectly, and honestly, I couldn't stop eating the tongue. The best I've ever had. The tortillas made for the perfect bite. After all of that, the Fried Chicken we had ordered arrived....I think at that point, we had lost some steam, so maybe my opinion of it would've been better earlier in the evening. I found the larger pieces harder to navigate, and ended up primarily eating bites of all chicken/no batter, or all batter/no chicken. I think my tablemates enjoyed it more, but I will say there is a lot of white pepper in this dish, so if you're a weirdo like me and have complicated white pepper feelings, this may not be the dish for you. We got a side of the charred broccoli to go with the chicken, but given the preparation of the rice, that did not seem as necessary as previously thought; the broccoli was more rich than light in terms of seasoning. Finally...finally...dessert! We had the Chocolate Marquise--a rich black sesame chocolate wonder, with crunchy granola bits and a very punchy ginger sorbet. I *really* did not need to eat dessert, but I had zero regrets once I tasted it. Amazing. If you're still reading this novella, I will conclude by saying there is definitely variation in the size of these shareable dishes and honestly, on the pricing. I wasn't entirely sure what to make of some of it initially, and was reticent to order as much as we did. I think having experienced it, it made more sense, but I would definitely recommend coming with a group if you want to try things. It would be great in the future if the fried chicken or pork belly buns for example didn't require ordering a large format platter. read more

Pig and Tiger - Delicious fried chicken and more! - Taiwanese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

It was serendipitous that we tried Pig & Tiger on day 2 of service in their new location. I mean it was within walking distance from our hotel, there were reservations available (via RESY), and somehow I randomly found out about this new Taiwanese inspired spot! Let me preface that - we came in full from a happy hour and left even more full but no regrets!!! Marissa, our server, was so nice & helpful. Super attentive. We had the: * Jellyfish Salad: flavors were awesome - had cucumbers, carrots, Fresno chilis. They also cut the jellyfish into bite sizes (vs the jellyfish salad of my childhood which was like fettuccine and difficult to eat and bite). If you haven't had jelly fish salad before, it's not fish or fishy at all. It's mostly a texture thing but this is so balanced with the other elements that it's super accessible! * Crispy Potatoes: I'm going to think about this ketchup chili crisp for a while. Like what! Delicious and perfectly smashed potatoes. It also had a ginger scallion chili situation happening. Delish. * Taiwanese Fried Chicken - unlike the giant cutlet in Taiwan, this is served as fried breast, drum stick, 2 wings with a generous side of chicken fat rice. The rice was so homey and comforting - some ginger, some bokchoy. Perfect. But okay the chicken - perfectly crunchy!! I was really stuffed at this point. Could maybe use a smidge more white pepper but I mean was so thrilled with the side of orange hot honey that I almost didn't notice. I will say that eating this with chopsticks was not possible, so I used my hands. * Jade Noodle with added Taiwanese Sausage - the only dish I wouldn't order again. The individual components were so good - like the fresh Q bouncy noodles, the Taiwanese sausage, the baby zucchini. But I really don't know what Taiwanese pesto is and it was way too tangy for my liking. * Shaved Ice: ok we almost skipped this because we were so full but I'm glad I listened to my second dessert stomach. This was lovely. A pineapple bao bing (but TikTok style where they freeze the whole fruit and grate it!) but with a beautiful almond and jujube crumble. But the almond panna cotta!!!! For my fellow American TWs, it's indeed xing ren dou fu (杏仁豆腐). I haven't had it in so so long so this was comforting. Hoping to see Pig & Tiger the next time we're back in CO. They're going to add Taiwanese Breakfast too!!! read more

Great new Taiwanese restaurant in five points! Most of the dishes appear to be more elevated and Taiwanese inspired rather than traditional but that makes for incredible unique and delicious dishes. I tried both the pork noodles and Taiwanese fried chicken and would recommend both. These were 2 heavier dishes and more than enough food for 2 people. The chicken came with the most delicious duck fat rice and hot honey for drizzling on top. It was fried to perfection and well seasoned. The pork noodles were perfectly chewy with a delicious pork ragu and the light veggies on top perfected the dish. Prices are what is expected for similar restaurants to this. The ambience was great and service was friendly and attentive. The neighborhood itself was not the greatest and I would recommend parking on welton st rather than California Ave. Would love a happy hour menu for some discounted items read more

Holy cow, expensive! I travel to Taiwan 1-2xs a year and I don't think any real Taiwanese people will go here once they see the prices! But, the food was actually really good. Jellyfish Salad ($17)- very flavorful. I liked this dish. It had a schezuan taste and eventually became too spicy for me but it was still tasty Taiwanese Fried Chicken ($39) - This was a very large portion especially with a full bowl of rice. Easily shared between two people. The texture was very crispy and full of seasonings. I wasn't a huge fan of the homemade honey that came in an unsanitary jar shared by others. But the chicken was good. The rice was cooked in chicken oil so it was extremely flavorful. Chocolate Marquise ($14)- def wish I didn't order this. Just tasted like melted dark chocolate. Nothing to rave about, not worth the money. $6 for non alcoholic beer Overall it was good but way overpriced read more

Fantastic place, great food and great service. A definite stop when in Denver. Have to have the dumplings, chili wontons and parol belly buns. read more

As a taiwanese american that grew up in LA im pretty wary of "elevated" Taiwanese food, but I think Pig and Tiger did a great job with taking classic Taiwanese dishes and tastefully adding a twist to make the experience better. I would honestly say this beats out any elevated Taiwanese restaurants I have had in LA. Fried chicken was so crispy and the rice was such a pleasant pairing! Sesame noodles were perfectly flavored with a great mix of seasonal veggies. Great with their housemade chili oil! Hot and sour soup doesn't really taste like regular hot and sour soup but it tasted good and was pretty damn hot! Overall great experience and probably some of my favorite Asian food I've had in Denver! read more

After seeing so many promising reviews of this place, I was surprised by the whole experience. My group was able to make dinner reservations and the place was busy. It was a dimly lit, intimate atmosphere, albeit a little loud. My partner and I shared the chili wontons, braised pork, and beef noodle soup. The chili wontons were a nice, hefty portion, but not spicy at all. The braised pork over rice was way too salty. The sauce seeped into the rice underneath and made the whole thing mushy. The beef noodle soup was decent. Our waitress did give us a chili oil that was more smoky than spicy, but worded it in a way that she was only giving it to us because they needed to get rid of it. There was also a lot of down time between when the first dishes came out and the last. Another couple ordered the fried chicken and was completely unaware it came with rice, so they ordered extra rice and was met with an odd look from the waitress who didn't bother explaining what the dish came with. Overall, not too impressed with the food or their service. read more

Awesome Chinese restaurant that provides a more upscale feel, but is still down to earth with a lot of great, reasonably priced dishes. The saucy pork noodle and the braised pork rice are the stars but all the other complementary dishes are solid too. read more

Great restaurant with wonderful food. We just tried a few items which were all delicious although certainly on the heavier side (crispy fried chicken and braised pork rice). Both were excellent and would definitely be coming back to try some of the other menu items. Had a great atmosphere with tasty drinks. Neighborhood certainly on the up and coming but worth a try. Only critique is as with all things in Denver a little on the pricier side. read more

Had the pork belly buns, braised pork rice and saucy pork noodles. Really enjoyed the service, food and attention to detail. Pork belly buns was self assemble and fun to put together. The steamed buns were fresh and soft with a thick piece slab of pork belly. Braised pork rice with the hard boiled egg has just the right amount of sauce and egged cooked just right. Saucy pork noodles had nice crispy texture from the vegetable and peanuts. read more
