    Modern decor, traditional cuisine.
    Justin U.

    We were going to Gothic Theatre for a show, and planned on going to Whiskey Biscuit for dinner. But they were shortstaffed and the wait for a table was 35 minutes, so we went next door to Spicy Basil. This place is a hidden gem! It has a modern decor, but traditional cuisine. They offer a variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes. I got the teriyaki chicken with vegetables. The portions were large, the food was delicious, and the service was fast and friendly. I will definitely come back with my wife.

    Don't forget, you'll need soy sauce.
    Andrew B.

    I ordered online... Lo mein was just spaghetti noodles. It has almost no flavor and is literally just noodles. Beef and broccoli is fishy and lacked flavor, kinda flavorless. Rice was cold. Needs MSG and salt at least.

    Rare beef and broccoli
    Victoria W.

    We had food delivered last night and it was the most disgusting and disappointing stuff I have ever had delivered. My beef and broccoli was slimmy and raw. Needless to say we didn't eat any of the food. I would like a refund but I don't believe that is possible.

    Sesame Chicken
    Bo D.

    The food I received was not like the pictures on their website/door dash. The sesame chicken has much LESS broccoli than pictured. Literally two pieces. The spring rolls do NOT come with their own sauce. Was the chicken good? Yes. Was the chicken hot/spicy, as stated? NO. Was there sweet and sour/soy sauces in the bag? Yes. Would I order from here again? Probably not, unfortunately.

    Piece of plastic inside drunken noodles
    Justin S.

    I've been ordering from here a while and it's usually been pretty good. However, this time our drunken noodles kind of smelled like it was going bad, and once we got to the bottom, my wife spit out a piece of rubber/plastic. That explains it! Absolutely disgusting.

    I ordered from this place last night and saved the wonton soup for today. While I was eating it I found a paper tab from a Kisses candy in the the cabbage in the soup. Want my money back. This is discusting!!!!

    Drunken noodle, Tom yum soup, and 2 Summer Roll
    Sally L.

    Food was okay considering that they delivered to my hotel in double tree. The drunken noodle had a seafood taste even though it was chicken which I did not mind. However it was overload of noodles and some noodles stuck together and were tough. The tomyum soup is not like the traditional although it is close to it, they are missing some key ingredients. The summer roll was disappointing. It was bland with 2 shrimps and broke apart as soon as I used to sauce. It is OK for being convenient and nearby. But not the best Thai food I've had.

    I was over charged. I was charged $5 just for asking to "please add the sesame sauce on the side to keep from making food soggy" I was told they gave us extra sauce on top of what was put on the dish. There was no sauce on the dish it came out to be almost double just for this. And would not budge. Food isn't that great either so double the regret. save yourself got to Thai basil instead.

    Legit worst food I've had in a while. No flavor, noodles overcooked. Pad Thai with Lo Mein Noodles? Pass on this place.

    One thing I really appreciate about ZOMO is that they offer kids' size portions. As a smaller…read moreadult, I love having the option to order a more reasonable portion size, or to order a couple of smaller items so I can try more of the menu without ending up with too much food. The standout for me was the taro fries. I absolutely loved them. They were crispy, flavorful, and something I'd order again. They were also surprisingly good as leftovers the next day, which isn't something you can say about most fries. If you're getting takeout and won't be eating right away, these still hold up really well. Overall, ZOMO is a great spot if you're looking for generous options, flexible portion sizes, and some unique menu items. The taro fries alone are worth the visit.

We love the diversity of flavors here and this lived up to that expectation and standard. CHKN & PANDAN WAFFLE is also a 9/10. INCREDIBLE waffle. Amazing texture and taste. The chicken was delicious. Overall, our breakfast/brunch was incredible. The Vietnamese coffee is also 10/10. We're excited to come back for another brunch here and bring our family.

I ordered the heart attack roll, it came out 20 minutes after everything else to the point we thought it had been forgotten. It is important to note this is advertised as an "appetizer roll". We had already finished everything by the time it came out. It was very bland. Our server forgot 2 separate items we asked for, even after we asked again. We were the only ones in there - how could you forget? I also ordered the vegetarian fried rice, but it had chicken in it. The rice was clearly old. The soy sauce on the table was empty. They were nice, though. Everything was clean. Miso soup was good. Sweet and sour soup was good. But everything else was inedible and abysmal.

They have some happy hour specials, which is nice, but they weren't very interesting. I ordered a nice 300ml bottle of sake, which should come chilled, and it was decidedly room temperature. The server did bring out an ice bucket to put it in, but it was way too late to chill the bottle. I scoured the menu for specialty rolls that didn't come with loads of gloopy sauces on top and didn't find any. I really despise Americanized sushi rolls that are covered in sauce, but I ordered 2 of the more appetizing-looking ones along with the new style sashimi and salmon sashimi. The new style sashimi was described as coming with cilantro (which is how it usually comes) but there was no cilantro in sight and instead they were covered in copious amounts of jalapeños. The cuts were also pretty butchered, particularly given the cost. The rolls were palatable, but entirely too big for my mouth, which just makes eating a bit like choking. I did receive a small complimentary dessert, which was decently tasty. The server was very friendly, but he sort of forgot about me in the end. With all these things in consideration, I probably won't be back. given the location, I would choose Makizushico for dinner over JP Nori every time.

After a quick search for Indian restaurants in Denver, we came across Sukoon--and we are so glad we did. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet with only a few tables occupied, which made us a bit uncertain at first. However, we were warmly greeted and seated by a gentleman who, I believe, was the owner. His hospitality set a welcoming tone for the evening. We decided to try a variety of appetizers, including samosas, papadi chaat, stuffed mushrooms, gobi Manchurian, and dal soup, as well as shrimp tandoori for our entrée. Every dish was exceptionally well-prepared--beautifully seasoned, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. Each bite was truly delightful. As we enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but wonder why the restaurant wasn't busier. Sukoon is one of those rare finds you want to see thrive: outstanding food, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. When we finished, the owner stopped by to ask if it was our first visit. We told him it was--but certainly not our last. Sukoon is an excellent addition to Denver's dining scene, and I hope more people discover this gem. Highly recommended.

As I was pondering to see if I should go to more of a sit-down restaurant, Asuka's quick poke bowl sounded like a much better choice so I rushed the one on Broadway between the gym and yoga. I stepped in to be greeted by the lady in charge of the kitchen and the register. She was still finishing up the guest ahead of me but once she was done she came to take my order. I went with the Build-Your-Own bowl. The lady was efficient in asking me which ingredients I would want for my nutrient-rich bowl. She was wasting no time and effort and yet she wasn't rushing to get rid of me either (LOL!!) She sounded like she is/was used to handling a long line of people but never forgets/forgot the routine of good service. Once my bowl was perfectly crafted, she had a quick and yet genuine thank you to say. She then moved on to the next person in line. By then there were several people in line. Once I had paid I took the time to look at the interior decorations. And they are quite cute! The umbrella decors on the ceiling are one of them to mention. The dining area is not big and yet it can hold a good number of guests. Quite tidy and clean indeed. Between the location down the street from my house on Yosemite and this one, this location is quite more lively. The Yosemite location seemed a bit smaller than this one. Let's talk the quality of the bowl! Very fresh! From the crunchy cucumber pieces that snapped as I ate it to protein (salmon and tofu) to al the fixings that topped the bowl, everything tasted surprisingly and refreshingly delicious. I wouldn't necessarily say that it tasted exactly like the authentic poke bowls I experienced in Hawaii only a few months ago, Asuka is a solid (chain) place I can go and grab a bowl with no compromise. I have come to appreciate this place very much.
