    Sesame Chicken
    Dana D.

    This place really surprised me. We live nearby but hadn't stopped in or ordered food because of the low ratings and poor reviews that we had read. We have tried numerous Chinese places in Denver that were just awful. We were really missing the Chinese food from back east, had a craving and decided to give it one last shot at Sun Wah. Usually when I order takeout, even if it's a place from right around the corner, it's not hot enough for me when I get home and I have to microwave it. All of our food was HOT. A plus for me! Our Sesame Chicken was cooked nicely - crispy on the outside! I was very happy to find that they gave us DUCK SAUCE in the bag, that I like to use on my egg rolls. All of the Chinese places that we visited around Denver in the past had no idea what duck sauce is ??? The prices are fair and the portions are large. Both my boyfriend and I were able to have dinner and take leftovers for lunch the next day. This is now our Chinese place in Denver!

    I had their lo mein twice now and both times I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of meat in there.

As an appetizer, MA'S BANH BAO is our new favorite app. DELICIOUS dough, incredible filling, amazing syrup. 10/10 CURRIED BISCUITS & GRAVY is a 9/10. Unique flavor but absolutely delicious. 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.

We got to try their lunch/brunch menu and it was THE BEST chicken and waffles of my life.

Can't wait to go back, my mouth is watering just writing this review. Staff is always nice and love the option of outdoor seating when the weather is nice!

    While visiting Denver, my coworkers and I went to ChoLon downtown. It was restaurant week in Denver…read moreso the menu was limited but we still found a lot of items to try out. The chicken soup dumplings, pork potstickers, and the ice cream was all very good! I wasn't such a huge fan of the tufu pork belly noodles. I'm not really a fan of tofu but I didn't really like the noodle dish in general. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and well designed. The wait staff was also very friendly. I would like to come back here and try more items from their regular menu.

    I was really hoping, no -expecting,to like this because EVERYONE would rant and rave about how…read moredelicious this place was... Honestly, it was pretty mid at best. I was intrigued by the dumplings, but definitely did not try them seemed a bit to modern. Malaysian noodles were decent with bit of flavor, but overwhelmingly, egg & bean sprouts with very little noodle & overcooked pork belly. It was so rough... I was really expecting some being that would basically melt in my mouth and that was not at all the experience. it made me miss San Francisco Asian food so much... as a treat myself kind of meal, it was fine, but I'm glad I went by myself rather than a date night with my husband cause I think we both would've regretted it on the plus side if there is one is that the staff we're remarkably friendly even for the lunch crowd. It was pretty slow.

    Jaya is one of those places I keep coming back to because there's nothing else like it in Denver!…read moreThe owner is so passionate about their food, and the menu has an authentic and approachable variety of Malaysian, Singaporean, and Indonesian cooking. The Rendang beef is my fiancés favorite! It's a coconut beef curry/stew that's slow cooked with a rich brown gravy. You can choose your heat level from 0 spice up- I recommend a little spice. The Hainanese chicken is my favorite - it's poached boneless chicken that's super juicy and comes with ginger scallion sauce and creamy coconut rice! We also usually order the roti, char kway teow noodles (they're thick rice noodles with shrimp) or the chili ayam malacca which are thick peanut chicken noodles. If you like chow fun you'll love these! Can't say enough good things about this spot!

    I ordered two items ($15.95 and $8.95). Before charging me, the man asked if I needed a receipt. I…read moresaid no, and then he charged me $32.92. I waited there for my takeout, but the total kept bothering me, so I looked at their menu. When I asked why it was so expensive, he told me that a bowl of white rice costs $5.25. The thing is, I've been ordering this exact meal through DoorDash or Uber Eats almost every month, and the white rice has always come with the meal without any additional charge. I told him I didn't want the rice, and only then did he refund the $5.25. I'm honestly really frustrated. I'm a regular customer and have been ordering from here for a long time, so this experience was pretty disappointing. After I got home, I looked at the reviews on Google and Yelp and noticed that other customers have mentioned similar billing issues. That made the whole situation even more concerning.

From the second I walked in, service was impeccable, welcoming, and helpful. Staff went above and beyond to walk me to the restroom (as it was my first time dining here), out to my patio table, and quickly brought water. Everyone was dressed up for the occasion, chandeliers were lining the interior with a gorgeous and sophisticated look, and the music was a fun K-Pop/dance vibe. Our table of three started with the Buddha Button (essentially a lemon drop martini with Deep Eddy's and a special flower that invigorates your taste buds to create a literal "party in your mouth"). Anything cold adds to the buzzing, vibrating energy; pair the flower with a cold cocktail and it's a phenomenal experience! We also had a bottle of white wine - it was to be expected: tasty. We tried the crab rangoons and thought they were a fun snack, although $21 for four rangoons was tough. I could've gone to Panda Express and gotten four for $3.99 and called it a day. Christine and I both had the Miso Sea Bass - easily the crowd favorite. Even though it was light, it was very flavorful with the sauce, mushrooms, and rice included in the meal. It was mostly filling, though charging $64 for that as the main entree is quite a big stretch. The crowd winner was our server, Maddie. She had amazing recommendations, a full understanding of the menu, and was very attentive and personable. Overall, fun experience! The price for the quantity of food makes it a dubious chance of returning, but A+ for the staff!

The ambiance and service is always great when we come here too.

After finally making it out with my friends during my travels to Denver, I can definitely see why it was reviewed well enough to make it. The Banh Mi sold here aren't the typical Banh Mis you would find in Viet shops because they put their own twist on these traditional sandwiches. They have really unique options & a good variety of meat choices. It seems to have some French/Japanese/Korean influences woven into these creations. The menu in-store also offers detailed photos of whats inside as to help you make your very difficult decision on what to get. I personally got to try PHO-FRENCH DIP which features beef brisket. Upon first bite, it was delicious! The brisket is plenty. The hoisin & sriracha sauce paired with it all. The veggies appeared fresh & crunchy. The bread was fully baked in-store. Since it's a tribute to the french dip, they had their own rich pho broth type soup to dip it in which complemented the sandwich well. The dip was good enough to kinda drink as well. Overall, I felt the food offered here is great - you can't go wrong with any decision. My friends and I said that we were all impressed & would like to come back again if possible. I too would want to come back to try their braised pork belly next time because that looked good!
