Suvipa Thai Food opened in 2014 in an unassuming space that was home to the late, lamented Vietnam Grill. Suvipa has proved to be a worthy successor. A new coat of paint has brightened up the interior, but the main focus is firmly on the food, and it shows. From tom yum to shrimp chili […]
This southeast suburban eatery’s exterior is strip-mall boring, but it belies a recently remodeled dining room that evokes 1920s Shanghai with its dark wood and brickwork. The menu covers a range of American Chinese favorites, but there’s also a Chinese menu (with English translations) that features other dishes less familiar to typical takeout customers. Traditional […]
Since 1985, Peter Chan has overseen the action in the Congress Park neighborhood from his small eatery, where both he and his take on Chinese American fare have become a staple. When the craving for sesame chicken or moo shu pork strikes, give Peter’s a call (you won’t find it on any delivery apps). Most […]

Thuy Pham, who opened Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant with her husband in late 2013 in the former home of the award-winning Vietnam Grill, has a story about how she became a cook. She remembers cooking at her mother’s side in Vietnam, but it wasn’t until she moved to California fifteen years ago and began spending time […]
The former owners of Saigon Bowl opened Saigon Basil in Northglenn in 2013, bringing a taste of Federal Boulevard’s Little Saigon district to the northern suburb. This is far from just a simple pho joint, however; you’ll find a menu as thick as a phone book, each dish dialed in with vibrant Vietnamese herbs, seasonings […]
In January 2013, Red Ginger took over the former Sonoda’s space at Sixth and Broadway, where it serves up high-quality Asian fusion cuisine. Red Ginger is an excellent addition to Denver’s Asian-food scene, with a menu that features sushi, hibachi preparations, and yakisoba dishes that are made hot and fresh. If you want to try […]
Epernay opened in early 2013 right in front of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, a place that can certainly use spots that serve stylish, quick snacks before and after shows. And Epernay definitely has the stylish down: The dining room features frosted glass, a bamboo divider and a wall-sized underwater photo that makes you feel […]

Ace owners Josh and Jen Wolkon, who also run Steuben’s, had a fast hit on their hands when they opened their ping-pong hall and pan-Asian eatery in 2012. The menu at Ace Eat Serve has just gotten better over the years, and in 2024, it continued its evolution under new executive chef Khamla Vongsakoun. While […]
Most restaurateurs would be wary of comparing their food with manna from heaven — and a food truck that does so would seem to have an extra bar of credibility to clear. Nonetheless, the connection between the name of the Manna From Heaven van and the food that comes out of this tiny, family-run mobile […]
If you were asked to seamlessly blend East and West, Asian and Cajun probably wouldn’t be the first combination to come to mind – but that element of surprise is exactly what makes this oddball fusion cuisine so great. The Asian Cajun is really two restaurants in one: It offers year-round seafood boils and Cajun […]
Don’t let the name of this strip-mall joint (which is not affiliated with the Aurora or Arvada locations of Woody’s) fool you: This is one of the metro area’s best Asian eateries, in disguise. The menu – a literal binder – is full of dishes with roots in the Indochina peninsula, from duck larb to […]

Chef Lon Symensma moved to Denver from New York City to unveil ChoLon in 2010. It wasn’t long before every soul in town had tried – and swooned over – Symensma’s French onion soup dumplings and kaya toast with coconut jam and egg cloud. ChoLon gave Denver something new: a menu that balanced the exotic […]
Fish tanks flank the walls of this Alameda joint, from which the kitchen plucks specimens — like lobster — to turn into dinner. And to be sure, JJ’s turns out some excellent seafood dishes, employing jellyfish, razor clams, squid, shrimp and scallops, all specialties of the Cantonese chef. But the massive menu at JJ’s goes […]
