    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!

    The Shan noodles here are one of my favorite things in Denver. Even though USA Today and Yelp have…read moreshown Urban Burma a lot of love over the years, it's still a true hidden gem because of its location in Mango House. This is not a fancy place. It's a near-cafeteria like vibe served to you with the biggest smiles and friendly service (one of the owners Siri is awesome). This is all about the food, and while you'll get the tea leaf salad by default, make sure to get the Shan noodles and the paratha too if you want some flavor variety. If you haven't had a lot of Burmese food in your life, just ask whoever is working for help. They'll be glad to steer you in the right direction for a flavorful meal that will be one of the most unexpectedly good ones you'll have this month.

We ordered the Ono Kao Sweh and the sampler, and everything was excellent. Just as good as we remembered. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful when it came to navigating the menu. Urban Burma is located inside the Mango House food hall, along with several other shops. The surrounding neighborhood can look a little rough around the edges, but don't let that deter you. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Burmese food, this place is absolutely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

They were also surprisingly good as leftovers the next day, which isn't something you can say about most fries.

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!

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.

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 pho is consistently delicious - packed with incredible flavor. The sesame chicken is another standout, but honestly, the curries are where this place really shines. My friend said the lamb curry was one of the best things he has ever eaten, and I completely understand why. The curries come out piping hot and overflowing- literally. The atmosphere is just as special as the food. The inside has such a great vibe - cozy, welcoming, and full of character. They also have the cutest little patio that feels like a hidden oasis with all the greenery and homey touches. The management and staff are phenomenal. They are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your experience. They constantly check in and somehow always seem to surprise you with something extra. You can tell this place is run by people who truly love what they do. We've done both takeout and dine-in, and the quality never changes. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. They also have great vegan options, so there really is something for everyone.

I love accidentally eating at Michelin places without planning it! They don't take reservations here, and there was a bit of a line to get in on a Wednesday, but ended up squeezing into the last seats that were available. Once they seat you, they have you go up to the counter to order once you've decided, and there you can choose to start a tab or not. So it's really informal and casual here. The place is really small and packed, so it's quite loud as well. What stood out to me was that the food was really noticeably fresh, well-prepared and had high quality ingredients. My favorite dish was the Málà Wings which honestly were the best wings I've ever had. Seriously. They were perfectly crispy, meaty and spicy. Coming here just for drinks and these wings would not be a bad choice at all. The rest of the food was good but not amazing. The Chinatown Dumplings were like normal dumplings but did have a stand out texture and consistency. The Stir Fry Beef Noodles were very good, with perfectly tender beef and generally had a pretty addicting flavor. The Sizzling Spicy Noodles were disappointing as they weren't as the name implied, not spicy at all and in fact very vinegary. The noodles in it were good though. I can see why they are Michelin recognized because of the high quality of the cooking. They have a fantastic drinks/cocktail program here as well. I wouldn't mind coming again but I don't really see a reason to rush back here. I loved the wings intensely but that's not enough to really make this a favorite destination. The food was just slightly above average overall by Denver standards. If I lived within walking distance maybe I'd be a regular.

It was also an opportunity for me learn that it is/was one of the least impressive sushi restaurants I have been to in the Cherry Creek neighborhood or the entire greater Denver area. I am a believer in "try out and see for myself" person. I knew about the fairly low ratings of 3.5 stars they had but that didn't stop me. I am glad because now I know that Sweet Ginger isn't a place I would recommend to others if my friends are looking for a nice sushi place in centralized Denver. BUT.... They do have a reasonable happy hour menu and if someone is focusing on that element (only) then I might recommend it to them. Here is some highlights from yesterday: HH Appetizer section: It has 15 items listed in it (as of early/mid August of 2026). Prices range from $4.50 up to $7.50. Although I don't know each item's portion, based on what we got yesterday, the two items (age tofu and veggie tempura) were decently portioned for the kind of prices. They weren't masterfully cooked and prepared in any way and yet they were good enough. HH Sushi/sashimi section: We tried everything in it (8 different ones). They don't automatically come in two pieces so if you are splitting everything between two people then you order two pieces. Each (one piece) is $2.95. Not bad. The quality (in my frankest opinion) was okay-ish. Out of everything we ordered and ate, White Tuna and Yellowtail stood out. But as I indicated already, they are nowhere near the best in quality and freshness. Service...this was okay and quite basic (by one of the female workers). She was efficient though. In other words, she didn't make us wait for anything. Towards the end of our meal, there was a male worker who assisted us for our check. He was very pleasant and courteous. Upon leaving, two of the chefs inside the sushi bar thanked us for coming. We appreciated the kind gesture there. Whereas the restroom (ladies) was old and a bit dirty, the overall cleanliness's of the dining room was okay. The patio seating upfront is quite spacious; it'd be nice to sit outside as long as the weather permits (it was still too warm for us so we sat at one of the two-person tables inside at one of the big windows closer to the sushi bar.
