Honestly blown away by the service, food & atmosphere! There were 12 of us celebrating a CU Denver graduate on a Saturday, upstairs at 6pm. They accommodated us bringing extra guests, setting us up together. The waitress was beyond helpful and attentive. She helped us order family style for the whole table and was always bringing us drinks. I wish I remembered her name….. anyway, we will return as the food was fabulous, the DJ was great and the staff were lovely.

Loved the drinks and the variety of dishes. Delicious soup dumplings. Probably one of the best fried rice dishes that I have ever had, and not a dish I expected to give notice to. Not a huge fan of ordering via my phone - but the times are a changing.

Our party of 8 joined Bao Brewhouse for dinner in the tea room. We had an excellent private booth which allowed for good conversation and sharing of dishes with a lazy Susan in the center. Despite our secluded/recessed booth, the noise level was slightly loud, but didnt interfere with our conversation. Our server (Nick) was informative and helpful. The food was spectacular and cocktails tasty. Would highly recommend and return!

Hi Sarah, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your evening in the Tea Room. We’ll be sure to pass along your shoutout to Nick as well. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another round of cocktails and shared plates!

We went for the all you can eat dumpling night originally, but after learning you only get one kind of dumpling (the soup dumplings), we changed course and just ordered individual menu items. It ended up being a much more expensive meal because of it, and felt a bit like a sneaky way to get people into the restaurant. The dumplings we had were great! The Peking duck was very underwhelming. The service was good, but not amazing. We had to re ask for quite a few things. It’s a cool spot with great ambiance, but I don’t know if I’d be itching to go again anytime soon.
