Dan Da

Dân Dã has deep roots in Denver's Vietnamese restaurant scene: Chef-owner An Nguyen is the sister of Thoa Nguyen, who owns next-door sandwich shop and bakery Banh & Butter; their parents were the original owners of the late, lamented New Saigon restaurant. Now An, who shuttered her last restaurant, Savory Vietnam, in late 2023, is serving the greatest hits from that menu in a more intimate, modern dining room. Go with a group and dig into make-your-own spring roll towers, comforting clay pots, whole deep-fried fish and more.
