    Salmon Bowl
    Brionta P.

    While visiting Denver for work the staff order lunch for us today and it was Tokyo Joe's. Asian food will forever be my go to regardless of what city I am in. So as a group decided to try Tokyo Joe's. after looking over the menu I felt the place had some potential. I liked that they have plenty of options especially for vegetarians and pescatarian, so I was in heaven. So, to start the food is subpar at best but I'm going to be honest I didn't set the bar too high. I order the build your own salmon bowl with brown rice, broccoli, zucchini, sesame seeds, spicy-aki and its edible, I probably wouldn't double back if I'm being truthful. It wasn't that it wasn't good just not... flavorful a little (A LOT) it was kind of on the bland side. The salmon was.... tasteless. and WELL a co-worker and I was debating if it was chicken from its appearance. The zucchini looked like cucumbers, like they might've been steamed. I don't know but I for sure picked over them. the broccoli was borderline raw. the sauce had no spice whatsoever! I don't know my colleagues seemed to have liked it but me on the other hand practically skipped lunch. I think if that invest a little more into purchasing quality ingredients and adding the flavor Asian food is known for they might be on to something.

    I've been going to Tokyo Joes locations for 20 solid years and have been to pretty much all of their locations during my work travel around the state. This was my first visit to this location and probably the worst visit I've had anywhere. The place was virtually empty when I stopped in. The steak was cooked rare - I've never had it served like that before and asked them to throw it back on the grill -which they agreed to do. The tables were dirty, the floor under the table was filthy, the sauce and spice on the table were almost empty as were the juice dispensers. The floor in front of the drink dispensers was, you guessed it, filthy. There was plenty of staff and lots of cleaning that needed to be done and there was none of that going on. Pretty sad place.

    Stop the clocks, sound the horns and release the hounds, a truly worthy restaurant was discovered…read morein Denver that should be celebrated. Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.

Would definitely go back again. We want to try some of the other flavors of Ramen.

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.

    Great sit down and good price for lunch!…read more This place is located next to a gas station so be very careful when looking for parking. A lot of other cars just zooming in and out. The service was friendly and kind, happy to answer any of our questions we had about the menu, my friend and I both got lunch specials. I got the sweet-and-sour chicken with fried rice with egg drop soup. The wait time was relatively quick, the soup came out first and it was hot and fresh. It was a classic egg drop soup. The entrées then came soon after. Everything was hot steamy and fresh! I really enjoyed my sweet-and-sour chicken and fried rice. Nothing really stood out, but it wasn't bad either. It's definitely a good go to place when I wanna sit down with a friend for lunch. The price was great for all the food that we got and my friend couldn't finish her so she even got some leftovers. There's a lot of construction going around Arvada right now and this place was free from construction. I think I would definitely go back just because of the convenience of getting there and parking.

It's massive, warm, gooey, and 100% worth the wait. Service: This is where it fell apart. Tables were dirty when we sat down and stayed that way. No one bussed anything or refilled drinks all night. For a Michelin Bib Gourmand, I expected way more attention to service. Food alone? 5 stars. Experience? 4 stars. Hope they fix the service because the kitchen is doing great work.
