Blue Moon is rather pretty in a recycled way. The A-frame structure gives the place a pagoda feel that’s ideal for a roster of Asian dishes: Chinese egg rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls and Thai summer rolls, edamame and lo mein, Thai curries, kung pao chicken, lettuce wraps and beef in Sriracha. Everything is made fresh […]

In need of a fresh start after the pandemic, chef Edwin Zoe rebranded his Boulder eatery Chimera as Dragonfly Noodle in 2022, adding a second location on Denver’s 16th Street Mall later that year. This sister concept to his casual Chinese restaurant, Zoe Ma Ma, boasts noodle dishes that span Asia, from Japan to Singapore […]

There’s a lot to love at Jaya Asian Grill. The minute you walk through the door of this spot tucked into a strip mall, you’re greeted by smiles from the friendly staff, curious glances from the regulars and the clatter of a busy kitchen working away in the back. The menu that kitchen is working […]
Jing, an upscale sibling to Cherry Creek’s Little Ollie’s, sports a sexy dining room, a well-stocked bar and a menu of nouvelle Asian cuisine — just the thing for well-heeled locals hungry for good food in the environs of the Tech Center. Try the Peking duck and cioppino if you’re looking for something more traditional; […]
This is a small, smart neighborhood restaurant that offers a broad overview of the best of several Asian cuisines. Although Karma tempts the fates by featuring a tangled, border-hopping board of fare, it respects boundaries, and most of the small plate/large plate menu holds to a strict division. As a result, each meal becomes a […]

Although this itty-bitty Chinese/Vietnamese/Japanese/Thai joint looks unassuming from the outside, it really packs in the appreciative customers. That’s because Moon Gate’s Asian non-fusion is better than most of Denver’s Far East offerings, and the kitchen isn’t afraid to challenge American appetites with dishes such as soft-shell crab with yellow curry and seaweed salad.
Peking Tokyo not only smells better than many restaurants in town, it has what could be Denver’s longest menu, a muddle of styles — Szechuan and Mandarin and Amerasian and Vietnamese and Thai and Cantonese, as well as spaghetti and cheesecake and curry, all done very well. But except for teriyaki, there is no Japanese […]
This Capitol Hill spot is decked out with fun design details, but it’s the food that will steal your attention. The menu is primarily Vietnamese, though Cambodian, Thai and Chinese influences are evident. Reckless’s libations are also no afterthought – and there are a lot of them to choose from. The drink menu is split […]

Wakano’s menu offers a broad spread of traditional Asian dishes on a board bulked up with a generous serving of Americanized Chinese favorites. It’s a solid neighborhood spot for those craving Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese all together in one place.
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 […]
