We chose the five-course tasting menu and added a couple of sides, and every dish was perfectly executed. But the service is what really inspired me to write this review.

It's that kind of thoughtful service that turns a great meal into a memorable experience. The next time I'm in Denver, I'll definitely be back. Don't skip the Chiang Mai Wonton and the dumplings,

While I completely understand inflation, when you have to self order and serve your own water (the cups were extremely dirty looking/stained) and the portions are very small, it feels like this restaurant isn't even trying to be good anymore.

This is my family & I 2nd time here in Denver and after finding this place the 1st visit we make it a point to come to this location. We're located in Georgia so I think we have a good sense of good Chinese. I always get the Mongolian beef with fried rice (no egg; I'm allergic) My husband always gets the General Tso chicken with the fried rice and he ALWAYS orders this and never has a complaint. My son gets the Sesames chicken also with fried rice and it's sweet and crunchy as they fry the chicken to mix in their sauce and it's worth every penny. Every time! Service sometimes can be short in communication but expected especially when they're working all day and don't have time to eat but their food never misses! It's never crowded or busy when we come no matter the time of day, never noisy always sit at a booth. I highly recommend this place I will always come here when visiting Denv

The flavors were unique, well-balanced, and beautifully prepared. A special thank you to Lina, who provided outstanding service. As a first-time customer, I had several questions about the menu, and she took the time to explain everything thoroughly and offer great recommendations. Her friendly attitude and knowledge made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and the service was spectacular. I highly recommend Bao Brewhouse to anyone visiting Denver, and I look forward to coming back on my next trip!

We originally decided to give this place a try because we went to the Avalanche game and it was one…read moreof few open late that was not fast food. The shumai and pork buns came out first and really heightened our expectations. Both were delicious. The sauce that came with the shu mai is one of my favorites that I have ever tried. The pork buns are served with a spicy sauce which my dad liked but I decided to pass on. After that, we continued to get more and more disappointed. The Kung Pao Shroom Trio was not our favorite. The sauce on top was lacking and this dish really needs some protein. We also did not enjoy the cheeseburger dumplings. They did not have any cheese in them and the spicy mustard on top did not go with what we felt like the theme of the dish should be. I will say that every dish has great presentation. When we went, it was late. However, none of the servers seemed extremely interested in helping and they would drop items and quickly leave before you could say anything. They do have an online order and pay system which is really nice and the food comes out quickly. They do keep your sodas filled. The ambiance is definitely more bar like (again, makes sense since it was late) since they have a bar upstairs. Not a place for kids. We would come again for some shu mai and pork buns, but that's all.

(Hahaha!) The place is beautiful and the first thing my sister and I noticed waa the detailed design of their ceiling. There was so much intention placed in many things in the restaurant drom the little menu cubby under the table, to the hair ties in the girls's bathroom, or even the not so uncommon foot pull on their bathroom door so you don't have to open it after washing. The dishes were all delicious. All aspects of it thought of very well. Balanced meals with not too much salt, the proper acidity to liven the dish and even the textures were intentionally made. The BEST thing from this visit was our server, Hailey, who made the visit so personal. She made sure we had the right pacing to our courses and gave proper recommendations. We were excited to share the experience with hee whenever she came by. I think it is safe to say that Uchi is my current favorite restaurant in Denver right now.

Uchi is my favorite Japanese Restaurant in Denver. While I am not a sashimi lover, I prefer my food warm, my daughter is open to try anything that's food delish! This trip I invited her Denver "mama" and her BF. The food was just as delicious! But the best part was watching the 2 new guests eat every bite, savor each dish and watch them: chopsticks in hand, delivery to their palate, and their expressions OMG..."this is so delicious! It's their first Uchi visit. My favorite dish is the Wagyu, grilled on a "hot rock." In fact, all the dishes I chose were perfect! I even ordered the bone marrow although it was a little salty for me, it was still tasty (not big on too much salt). It is a pricey restaurant, however, if you want quality /excellent food one should expect to pay for what it's worth. The service and our server was excellent: uniquely friendly, patient and I just love it when it's totally a genuine smile on their faces! The best part about Uchi - they deliver a complimentary dish for keeping you waiting (as if...). We felt they were quick to deliver and yes you may have a "wait" but this place gets really busy! Recommend making a reservation ahead of time. I have not been on the rooftop, but I understand they grow their herbs up there! Take a chance when you're in Denver for high end Japanese food. Make sure your "pocket" is loaded with "greens!"

The chef's counter is just a 6-seater tucked away down the hall of the larger dining room area. So you're having the semi-private dining experience among the hustle and bustle, which is kinda cool. We were the only couple there for the late seating so we basically had a private dining experience! Every dish was just an unexpected combination of flavors that blended so perfectly, it was like a match made in heaven. Loved the Japanese flavors like yuzu kosho and bonito that added a layer of Asian umami. The grilled lamb belly was to die for and I could've had another--and another. We could've listened to the two of them talk the entire night about their passion bc it truly was fascinating. Jacob's pairings were spot on and we truly appreciated his recommendations! We'll definitely come back to Denver just to dine here again.

Hop Alley We had…read morereservation for Friday night at 7pm and were seated right away. There were four in our party. Our server Kashad was friendly and attentive. We were seated in the room off to the side that had a lively, upbeat vibe due to the large party at the two round tables. We ordered three different drinks; the Rosie Cotton, the Tom Bombadil, and the Luthien with Vodka. The Rosie Cotton was too sweet for my liking. The Luthien was the favorite. I had a couple of questions about the menu that our server struggled to answer, which was disappointing. We asked him to explain the Dragon Whisker Pea Tendril dish, and what we were served was wildly different than his explanation (however it was our favorite of the night). Also, he was unsure if there was Chinese 5-spice in the Char Siu pork ribs (there was). Here is what we ordered and what we thought: Pea Tendrils - Not only was this dish beautiful, it was SO good. Our favorite of the night. Cauliflower, Romesco, Black Lentils - It was good, but our least favorite. Probably would not order again. Mapo Tofu - Authentic and fantastic! Chili Garlic Fried Rice with added Duck Confit - we all loved this dish. Char Sui Ribs - also authentic with a strong flavor of 5-spice and a lovely glaze. They were cooked perfectly. Two of us in our party weren't keen on 5-spice, but the others enjoyed them immensely. Grilled Asparagus- This dish got mixed reviews from our group. I loved it, and the asparagus was grilled perfectly. It was hard to decipher what was on the menu with the sauce on the asparagus. Sherbets- we thought we ordered the strawberry cheesecake and orange coconut cream sherbets, but we got strawberry cheesecake and orange 5-spice. They did take the 5-spice one off our bill but never offered to bring the one we ordered. The consistency of both was a little off.

There are many more dishes on our list to try.

The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out.

Chubby Cattle is promising as a concept but falls short of expectations considerably. Few places…read morecan say they have hot pot, bbq and sushi included in all you can eat arrangements. Although CC has all 3, it is very average if not sub par. Hotpot is only as good as the sauce bar and broth it is boiled in. The sauce bar here was incredibly lackluster. 9 sauces total (ponzu, soy, sweet chili, peanut and sesame, sriracha, garlic paste, bbq sauce, sesame oil) is crazy when the restaurant claims it is a hot pot restaurant. If you have ever been to an actual hot pot restaurant you know that this is an incredibly low variety of sauces. No chili oil was probably the part that surprised me the most. The hot pot vegetable, fish and broth variety was average as well. My girlfriend got the plain tonkotsu broth and that was not great. I got the spicy tonkotsu broth and I enjoyed that. The bbq was not great. For wagyu you had an option of 6 different cuts along with the regular hot pot meats. The meat was over salted for a lot of it and only came with 3 pieces for some of them. Sushi was alright as well. I enjoyed the sashimi quite a lot, the salmon, yellowtail and tuna was great. The unagi nigiri was great too. The rolls were pretty good as well, we got a dragon roll and I enjoyed that. Service was great. The waitress put our order in and before she had even left the table we got the meat. The meat food runner was not friendly, but the waitress was kind the entire night and made sure we were taken care of. The longest we waited in between rounds was probably 3-5 minutes. Ambiance was good, the entire restaurant is very small. I'm glad we got a table as sitting near the conveyor belt would have had us feeling very cramped and severely limited the amount of food we could have ordered. It is well decorated overall however. For 2 bbq ayce and a bottle of soju plus a 20% tip, the total came out to 162 for the two of us. This felt ridiculously overpriced for the quality of food and options we were presenting with. A similar night at K Pot would be half the cost with much more variety of meat, hot pot and sauce. I am a big believer in value, and it feels like the price you pay for the quality of food you get here is not. I was ultimately disappointed in this place and would not return.

We kept saying "just one more bite" until suddenly we had cleaned nearly everything off the table.

The service and atmosphere felt comparable to a visit I had at one of their NYC locations. I was specifically there for the A5 Wagyu Kalbi Short Rib slices. At $59, this is likely best shared and supplemented with other cuts. Since it was a special occasion, I ordered one plate, then decided on a second since I was still hungry. There was a noticeable delay, and when it arrived, I was told it is usually limited to one per party, but they made an exception that night. I appreciated that, though I probably would have been fine stopping after the first plate. I paired it with rice and salt-seasoned edamame. I was slightly disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged despite noting it in my online reservation, especially since another table received a birthday song. Overall, still a good meal and a fun splurge.

For drinks, we had the Thai tea and a lime leaf margarita. The Thai tea was super delicious, and the sweetness was just right. The lime leaf margarita is honestly one of my favorite margaritas I've ever had. For appetizers, we got the furikake potatoes, cucumber salad, and crab cheese wontons. They were all really tasty, but my favorite was definitely the furikake potatoes. The furikake seasoning gives them the perfect amount of flavor and spice, and I absolutely love the lime leaf aioli that comes with them. The cucumber salad was probably my second favorite. It has so much flavor, and I could honestly eat it all day. The crab cheese wontons were my third favorite, and my favorite part of those was actually the dipping sauce. For our main courses, we got the Korean fried chicken, tom yum noodles, and Three Treasures. My favorite was the Three Treasures. It's a vegetarian dish with stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, red pepper, and garlic sauce, and it was just incredibly flavorful. I was really impressed with how much flavor they packed into a vegetarian dish. The tom yum noodles were a very close second. They had shrimp, king trumpet and brown and white beech mushrooms, tomatoes, tom yum sauce, and spaghetti. Once again, the dish was just an explosion of flavor and really unique. The Korean fried chicken was my third favorite, but that definitely doesn't mean it wasn't impressive. The sauce on the chicken was to die for. It's a spicy garlic gochujang sauce, and it was absolutely delicious with the perfect level of heat. And then there's the Hong Kong French toast, which is one of my favorite things at this restaurant. It has a crispy cornflake crust, kaya coconut jam, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. It is seriously out-of-this-world good. If you're looking for an excellent place to eat or somewhere you want to take someone to impress them, I'd definitely recommend The Ginger Pig. Everything we had was fantastic, and I can't wait to go back.

Not just a little, it added an almost acrid flavor. The chicken was cooked fine. We ordered the cha siu and tom yum Noodles. The cha siu was fine, but, definitely overcooked, the lack of sauce just made it just a cooked piece of pork, rather than what is truly "cha siu" I truly had a gripe with the $24 tom yum noodles. Immediately as I arrived I knew what this was - this is mama noodles, $0.25 cent mama noodles packets but made with spaghetti - and completely salty and inedible at that. Truly, the profit margin on this dish must be astronomical. // I just checked, they were going to charge me $28 dollars - I asked to sub out shrimp since I was allergic, and TWO pieces of tofu was an additional $24+4 - insane? We had the eggplant as a replacement, it was fine. My server attempted to explain away the tom yum noodles as being too "green onion forward" - lady, I literally make mama noodles at home everyday. Don't sell me a fake story. It's an okay restaurant, slightly higher prices due to its renown. But it's clear the owners are not Chinese, Thai or Korean. At this point in my life, I don't like leaving a bad review, but mid food layered with mild deceit leaves a bad taste.
