    COCKROACH
    Max C.

    COCKROACHES - I actually bit into a cockroach from this restaurant. Can't believe it. I did see another person post they found roaches in their food but thought - eh that'd never happen to me. Couldn't be too bad. I've been over my sink throwing up for half an hour after realizing I bit down on one. I hope this place shuts down. Absolutely horrific to find a cockroach in my food and can't imagine how many must be in that restaurant.

    Green Curry sooo sweet

    I ordered the chicken with mixed vegetable and the thai green curry very spicy. The chicken dish was fine, nothing special. The portion was big, the flavor a little blah. I added siracha at home. The green curry was terrible; nothing green about it. On a spice level of 1-5 it was a negative 10. No spice at all and VERY VERY sweet. I couldn't take more than a couple bites. I called to see if maybe my order got switched with someone else's, but was told that's the way the curry should be.

    10/10 -Priced amazingly for Chinese in Denver -Very hot, great quality food -Regulars sitting next to us and they RAVED over the beef. It was very tender. -All of the servers were women which I loved and they were very accommodating and kind I only wish I could take 7/11 away for better parking and less of a crowd outside but even the tavern next door is cute!

    5 stars all day. An amazing find. There was probably 20-30 people that came in for take out while we were there if that says anything! There are 2 dedicated spaces out front for pickup. There is no alcohol here so your bill is guaranteed low if you dine in. Next door is 3 kilts sooooo you can make it a double evening if you're feeling frisky! Will 100% be back.

    I've been to Dan Da before, and this visit reminded me why I needed to come back sooner…read more Most of the time when I go out for Vietnamese food, I end up ordering pho or bánh mì without thinking twice. Dan Da is one of the few places that's gotten me to branch out, and I'm glad I did. The Bún Chả Hà Nội was probably my favorite. Putting everything together yourself made every bite a little different, and the pork was so flavorful. I also really enjoyed the coconut curry claypot with shrimp. It was rich and comforting without feeling too heavy. The shaken beef was cooked well, and the shrimp and crab mini rolls disappeared pretty quickly. I like that the menu has dishes you don't see everywhere. It makes coming here feel a little different from your average Vietnamese restaurant. Already looking forward to trying something new the next time I'm back.

Cute atmosphere, the bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I've seen for a baby changing station I've seen in a while so thank you for that. Plus they had disco balls in the ceiling!

The teams names are listed on the front of the menu which is also a nice touch. Glad the ownership cares about their employees. Price is cheaper than what it should be. They have a wide and creative assortment of cocktails that makes you question how that ingredient works in a drink. It's Vietnamese fusion cuisine where every dish reimagines staple southeast Asian dishes in such a savory manner. My top 5 rated restaurant in Beli. I highly recommend the egg dish - best egg I've had in my entire life. Thanks for the wonderful time.

    A true hidden gem - do not miss this place!…read more This Vietnamese restaurant is one of those spots you hope stays a local secret forever, but it's just too good not to share. The food, portions, flavors, and overall experience are absolutely outstanding. First - you cannot leave without trying the homemade ginger ale. I have no idea what magic they put into it, but it is truly out of this world. It's unique, refreshing, and easily one of the most memorable drinks I've had at a restaurant. 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. They are connected with the same ownership/management as Golden Bánh Mì next door, which is also incredible - clearly there is a passion for creating amazing food and experiences.

    Good option for Vietnamese & pho and a trendy spot…read more The drink menus are a mess. After looking at two I still didn't know how much hot sake was or the sizes offered and if they had other kinds -- absolutely no transparency on price when it's not on a menu anywhere. They have Lucky Buddha bottles all over the place but no idea how much those were, either. Mixers? I see bottles but no prices cause nothin is listed in any drink menus. So weird. The pho is very good and other meals have always been. I think it's on the pricier side here for everything. It gets so expensive to go out when a modest meal/drink set ya back $50. It's just pho! And a basic adult drink like super cheap house sake or tap beer. But anywho, this is our world now. Just going out less & less than I used to! They don't have any deals like happy hour. Multiple people asked when I was there so I hope they offer one someday. The sides for pho are pretty skimpy but there was no hesitation when I asked for more lime & basil. Service was and has always been really good!

I…read morestill wanted noodle soup and figured a half empty restaurant was a quicker resolution, however I'm now fairly certain we would have gotten our food faster even with the 1 hour wait at our original restaurant choice. Service was incredibly slow for how empty the restaurant was. After more than 30 minutes of waiting and no sign of our server, another server finally came to check on us and realized none of our order tickets made it to the kitchen. This could have easily been recognized by the original server had he even showed up to check on us during this time. I wish I could say the food was worth the wait. The pork egg rolls we got had just 1 piece of lettuce and barely pickled veggies to accompany it. I was confused that my house pho with beef short rib came with the meat on the side, which was sadly very cold and chewy. The broth itself was fine, but the chili oil pooled so much and was too greasy to be palatable. Our server did at least remove the apps from our bill as an apology for the service and I did at least find the food edible. For a $20 bowl of pho though I am still left feeling offended and full of regret that I didn't just wait it out for Noodles by Nina. We all left agreeing that the only enjoyable part of our meal was the 2010s hits playlist.

Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the dishes in English to my friends who don't speak Vietnamese.

Nonetheless, we added our name to the waitlist and was grateful there were only a couple of parties before us. We knew we wanted some of the Bahn Hue Plates but also didn't want too many of the same thing. The waiter offered some substitute options that worked for us. These "cakes" are still a rarity for us as they aren't found everywhere. * BH8. Sampler with substitutes $14.99 - Ours came with the 4 Loc La, 2 Nam, and 4 It Co Ram (instead of the 12 Beo and 3 It Tran). I actually think the waiter said he would sub the 12 Beo for the It Co Ram. I realize now we did not get any of the It Tran, which is a bit of a bummer. * BH1. Bahn Beo Chen $13.99 - We usually try to order this whenever we see it on the menu. * A5. Vietnamese Eggrolls Cha Gio $7.99 - Their deep-fried egg rolls were exactly how we wanted - with that extra blistery look to it. Not all Vietnamese restaurants serve it this way, so we do try to order it when we see it offered. * HS1. Sizzling Steak & Eggs $18.99 - We did ask for more bread to soak up the proteins on this dish. I'm not sure what happened because the bread took ridiculously long, and the restaurant had cleared up quite a bit by then. Most of our orders came out rather quickly, so it was weird with the long wait for the extra bread. I honestly think they forgot, and when someone finally remembered, it was put into the toaster to heat up then because it did arrive very hot versus the initial order. We had to get up and ask about it and two different waiters said it was coming out. Their house made chili oil definitely had a kick to it! Use it sparingly if it's your first go at it. We were curious about their Bun Bo Hue because there are so many options. The waiter did tell us it's their most popular dish and the pictures looked amazing. Overall, we had a good experience at O Lien Kitchen. The long wait for the bread did put a downer on the visit as it dragged on and the steak and eggs got cold as we waited. I initially wanted dessert but changed my mind since we were waiting so long. 3.5 stars
