We had an absolutely fabulous meal start to finish for my friends Bachelorette welcome dinner. The cocktails were so good and inventive. Our server was awesome. The only complaint was how swelteringly hot it was - hopefully a one off of broken ac! Still my favorite restaurant to take out of towners too none the less!!

Layla was a fabulous server and the food was spectacular! The short rib spicy noodle dish was outstanding in particular, but everything was so delicious. Also, the cocktails were fabulous.

What a fantastic night! We had the short rib noodles and the colossal crab fried rice, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The DJ was great, the ambiance was incredible, and the overall experience was outstanding. We can’t wait to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Service absolutely sucked. Our waiter was so weird and rude. Forgot have of our order. Didn’t come by . Honestly so mad he acted like that. It was a birthday dinner and he was not friendly or helpful.

The all you can eat bao can with buffet bao then was advertised. The ambiance was much more of a nightclub than a “tea house” as it is described. It was SO hot, my entire party was sweating by the end of dinner. It was an experience that is definitely right up Denver’s hip 20-Something white crowd. The bao were mid, the service was pretty bad. Although to be honest it was busy so might have been that it was just so busy. The all you can eat portion was lack luster, very often they didn’t have ready what we ordered- don’t know if they really couldn’t keep up or if it’s a technique to get you to eat less. Either way it was irritating I’m glad I tried it- won’t be back, if you actually want an all you can eat bao experience expect to be left wanting when you leave.
