[[HIGHLIGHT]]Modern, cozy place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is amazing, drinks were so good and dessert was delicious! Staff were friendly and welcoming.

On our way to Denver Int'l Airport, we stopped at Cholon for an early dinner. They have to locations - downtown and Central Park. We arrived during happy hours, so please to try dishes at a discount. The service was very friendly and atmosphere clean and "modern." The dishes we ordered were tasty, especially the pork belly bao. This I'll have to try to make myself since it was so delicious. However the soup dumplings (aka xiao long bao), even though they were a colorful red, were not enough - only two for $7. Other restaurants serve 10 for $15. I would've given 5 stars if not for this reason and recommend they increase the quantity per order.

Enjoyed the $16 Bento Box + Drink Lunch deal at YumCha in EastBridge today. Was sizable & delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't wait for their Patio to open for the season![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

If you've long wondered what Cholon means, wonder no more- it translates to "big market" in Vietnamese and is named after the largest Chinese-influenced market in Saigon. If you have dined in both locations, you will note that the dishes are familiar but with an exciting twist. Hence, the modern asian delineation. This second location in the Central Park area is sparsely decorated but classy. You can't miss the ceiling in the dining room. What's exciting, too, is the team is going to be joined by dim sum chef from @lonsymensma's NY days. Executive Chef Michelle Xiao will be showcasing her dim sum expertise! She comes with over 30 years of dim sum experience! I can't wait to go back! Congratulations Chef Lon Symensma and business partner Christopher Davis-Massey for another exciting adventure! Great food, awesome staff and wonderful host and owner Chef Lon Symensma!

It's been awhile since we've been in a decided to stop in for an early dinner during happy hour. So glad we did! We started with the spicy margaritas which we really tasty. We also really enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts and the French Onion Soup Dumplings. Hand rolls were also good. Our server was excellent and we look forward to coming back again soon.

One of the best food experiences I have enjoyed since moving to Denver, ChoLon's rocked, combining an elite menu with exceptional customer service. Located in Central Park, this restaurant shares a large parking lot with other businesses, and would never have issues. They offer takeout and reservations. I grabbed a reservation via Monica, and we were pleasantly greeted at the door. The atmosphere is outstanding, with just the right amount of lighting. The staff effectively set the tone for a visit. They separate their food options into "small bites," which can be shared as dinner choices or appetizers, and "large plates," which are good-sized main dishes that can either be an individual portion or an excellent family-style selection. Here is where ChoLon excelled and separated themselves. Our server, Jung, was elite, taking time to explain the menu to first-timers, and at the same time, he was mentoring a new staffer. Flawless presentation with a great feel for the menu and superlative interpersonal skills, helping us make some choices with solid guidance. Our order was bigger than normal, but we were already enamored with this place. Selected four Small Bites and one Large Plate, and they were all terrific! Kaya Toast - unique tasting toast with coconut jam and egg drop, the fabulous explosion of flavor, and great advice to dip the toast all the way into the concoction. Wow. My favorite part of a great meal! Wagyu Beef - four skewers that were delicious and served with a spicy Hong Kong sauce that was so good. French Onion Dumplings - another unique dish that was yummy and full of taste. Just be careful when piercing into the dumplings. Scallion Pancakes - so very good, served with a caramel yogurt sauce and incredibly good, Large Plate was Miso Glazed Salmon with Baby Bok Choy and Cucumber Jicama, and it was absolutely incredible! A rare combination of spectacular food and flawless customer service, without question, we are returning!

I've been waiting to try this place for over a year, and it definitely exceeded the hype. We decided to try out Denver Restaurant Week so we could try a couple of things. The dinner was the perfect amount for two people and I left feeling so satisfied. I could eat an absurd amount of those French onion soup dumplings, no joke they are one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is gorgeous, some really cool architecture and really cozy/inviting lighting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came back for the bottomless soup dumpling night and it was unreal. All you can eat dumplings left me feeling unbelievably satisfied. Our server was working hard and made sure we got as many dumplings as our heart desires. We tried an array of cocktails, all of which were amazing. And the new crème brûlée dessert is also a must try.

Read on some sites that we had to try the French onion soup xlbs as the one thing to eat in Denver. So we came for lunch before an afternoon flight home and had a great time! Food was all tasty, ambience very classy, and a great way to end our vacation. They ran out of French onion soup xlbs (strange if that's the specialty!), we're out of kaya, and it's all pricey, but still a very nice experience.

Crab Rangoon, soup dumpling
Cassandra C.

An innovative twist on Asian food - Cholon never fails to surprise. I've been for both weekend dim sum and for happy hour and it's great food all around. Their most iconic dish is the French onion soup dumpling - make sure to get 1 order for each person, it's going to be a favorite! My favorite breakfast drink is the Vietnamese iced coffee martini - so delicious! You can make a reservation on opentable (with a CC on file). I have just shown up before and it's not too hard to get a table. Can't wait to go back!

Stir-Fried Malaysian Noodles with tofu instead of shrimp
Lauren L.

The place was so quiet on a Wednesday night that they sent the sushi guy home early. That was a bit of a bummer, because I would have tried the hatch chili hamachi! I'd say there's always next time, but I dont think we'll be back. The good: Staff is friendly, I really enjoyed my cocktail (Old Saigon), and the kaya toast was delicious and unlike anything else I've ever had. It's sweet and savory, and just delightful. We also enjoyed the house starter of papadam with a spicy dipping sauce. The okay: The tofu bao buns were fine. I've had more flavorful bao before. Staff were kind enough to sub the shrimp in the Stir-Fried Malaysian Noodles out for tofu, but the dish was just okay. Pieces of noodle seemed burnt at the edges, and while the egg absorbed a lot of tasty flavor (and oil), the rest of the dish lacked that taste bud-pleasing punch. The bad: The scallion pancakes were dry, and while the caramelized yogurt was a creative choice of dipping sauce, I don't think it's actually better than a more typical soy-based sauce. My husband said his Wagyu beef skewers were greasy, and he wouldn't recommend them.

How should we dress? Is it smart casual, business casual, resort casual, jacket required?

There's no required dress code, but most folks dress casual/business casual.

We went to Annette for a birthday outing, and it completely lived up to the hype. Everything felt…read morethoughtful. You can tell there's real attention to detail in every dish, and nothing felt overly complicated just for the sake of it. We shared the burger (honestly one of the best we've had), the panzanella salad, and deviled eggs - all impressive. Drinks were excellent - the mezcal negroni, stockyard pony, and house spritz. We ended with the pecan tart and espresso martini. It was just the two of us and we were stuffed when we left. They sat us in their outdoor space and it was so, so nice. We LOVED it. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

First time here, service was great and attentive. Ambiance can be intimate or family style outing…read more The foods are meant to be shared so thats a nice communal aspect. Cons for this paragraph is the wait for the food is ridiculous. Why 45 min at least for any dishes. If you're ordering multiple. They're not coming out all at once. The appetizer orecchiette we got was tasty in regard to the texture. Nicely al dente. But it was extremely salted and extremely sour. Unsure of what flavor profile they want to have. Our server recommended the roasted chicken to be the most seasoned dish. I'm not sure whatever they marinated actually puncture the meat. It was cook well but virtually no flavor. Not any difference if you just boil chicken breast by itself. Everything was really pricey for no reason. Sure it was a good size? But if you compare it to restaurants located in downtown, a similar dish is at least 8-10$ cheaper. $14 for a basket of shoes string fries, $41 for roasted chicken and $43 for steak? On par with coors field at least. My assumption is that any new coming restaurants at the Stanley market is just a test run with a safety net to see if the restaurant actually performs well if it was a stand alone business.

Great spot for drinks and good food! Arrived at 6PM and asked for a table for 3. We were quickly…read moreseated at a booth. The place is decorated so cute! They also had their AC blasting which helped cool us off from the heat outside. Our server was great and quickly took our order and received waters. Our appetizer came out pretty quickly and I do want to call out that the guac looked like it was sitting out for some time. Once our 3rd person arrived, we ordered our food and drinks. Drinks came out pretty quickly. The elderflower prickly pear drink was stellar and pretty strong! I would definitely come back just for that drink! Food tasted great! Tacos were seasoned well. I do wish they had spicier salsa options but that's just my preference. I also think the tacos should be doubled up with tortillas because they started falling apart and made it difficult to eat. I ended up just eating the inside of the tacos and left the tortilla. Overall though, nothing bad that would deter me from visiting again. It was a good experience! I would definitely return.

CAUTION: manager punishes customers for complaining about an ill-conceived, poorly executed seating…read morepolicy. I was a first-timer with five other fun, chill ladies 50+ on Cinco de Mayo. Three of us had driven from significant distances. Two were late, due to crazy snow. Our friend had made reservations for the high-top table IN THE BAR AREA. Upon arrival, the hostess DID mention to our organizer that the table was ours until 6. That sounded odd, but certainly they wouldn't expect us to leave if we're still eating and drinking, right? We were having a great time, and being gracious despite a few issues, like my friend getting a strangely colored margarita that tasted bad -- unlike her first, or any of the others in the entire restaurant. She explained and asked for it to be remade. Another girl brings it back again, making her re-explain. She begrudgingly took it back and replaced it. At 5:40, as people started bugging out, our snow-delayed friend arrived and our waitress took her food order, along with another friend's order for a pitcher of beer. They arrived quickly. At 5:50, we got a visit from manager Alex, asking us to wrap things up and leave. We were confused, and asked why this was necessary, since we were in the BAR section, had just been served food and beer, and people were leaving. Alex was not amenable to applying practicality to the situation. My friend who'd just been served her pitcher of beer asked which option she was supposed to exercise...pay for and leave her full pitcher, or slam it and then drive home to Boulder. Alex didn't like that, and reluctantly offered to comp the quesadilla and beer -- like it was some grand gesture. As we gathered our things, more customers left, leaving four seats open around the actual bar. EUREKA! We didn't have to leave! My friend and I sat in two, and two others sat across from us. We knew we'd find one more, and we did. Cool, right? Nope. Alex confronts me and says, I noticed you guys moved to the bar. (I thought I was being punked.) So I reply, "Yes, is there a problem with us taking available seats after having to leave our table?" He says something about us being rude. To which I said, "I'm not being rude. If you're referring to us talking amongst each other about how this situation was handled, we have the right to speak." He then informed us he was cutting us off. I wasn't one of the ones comped, and we weren't drunk. He just didn't like that we pushed back. He left, and seconds later, the drink I'd ordered before this "chat" was placed in front of me. When Alex saw it, he pulled bartender Hunter aside and had words with him. Which made matters worse, because Hunter is so kind, and he knew we were cool. Anyway, I happily sipped my drink, and we started watching the Avs. We weren't obnoxious, but it was loud, and since we were seated across the bar from each other, we needed to shout a bit. Around this time, we noticed the table we'd been forced to vacate was STILL EMPTY -- 20 minutes after being booted from it. The table right next to it? Also empty. A few minutes later, we noticed he'd moved some girls who'd been at the bar since our arrival TO OUR TABLE. Obviously to make it look like the party that wanted it had shown up. So I took a pic of that with my phone. And a video of how many seats and tables were open. Nobody knew what I was doing, or cared, except Alex, who'd been spying on us. He comes back AGAIN, suddenly claiming our "BEHAVIOR" is a problem. Despite us trying to reason with him about what this experience was like for us as customers, he tells us to leave. I have been kicked out of two bars in my life. Once justifiably at age 22, and again on this day, age 60. All because of a manager on a power trip. We ended up going to Mezcal four miles away where the food and the service were exemplary, and we were welcomed! Lady Nomada? Lady, No-thank-you. You can't defend a policy like that, take a food and drink order right before the time limit, take our table and then harass us for not liking it. There are too many cantinas out there to treat people this way.
