   Great experience for restaurant week! Would come again just for the french onion soup dumplings. All dishes we had were solid and we really enjoyed it.

   For a long time, Cholon was absolutely in my Top 3 for restaurants in the city. However, it's just a fact that the food quality fallen since COVID. Example: the French Onion Soup Dumplings are much more 'doughy' and lacking in flavor. The price has gone up, a LOT, but now they taste more like a big lump of potato dough (with just a hint of soup flavor). Very underwhelming. I've also noticed that the servers have gotten incredibly entitled and more than a little arrogant. They are not there to serve you. They are getting paid $20 an hour minimum wage PLUS TIPS, and they still act like total divas. Pro tip: Get over yourselves! If you hate your job, quit. Lunch today for 2 people was $130. Yes, you read that correctly. Zero alcohol, by the way. And still, I have to listen to the waiters and waitresses bit** about how they are underpaid. Bottom line: Underwhelming, overpriced food. Denver crime. Lack of parking. Diva waiters and waitresses who act like they are in Aspen. Eyes wide open. You've been warned.

   Consistently delicious food. Brussel sprouts, Kaya toast and soup dumplings never disappoint! Great service too.

   For all the hype reviews, I definitely expected more from their food! Malaysian noodles needed more flavor, brussel sprouts were kinda soggy. Beef skewers and donuts were great though

   I made it much more eventful than needed, but thanks to the staff and the other patrons that helped. With that being said, there is not a better dumpling in the country than the French onion soup and General Tso as well. The food is amazing and we eat here every time in Denver.

   We enjoyed our meal and our waiter was helpful and friendly. This was the first time my husband and I have eaten the soup dumplings and they were very good. The brussels sprouts were my favorite. I was not overly fond of my cocktail, (moscow mule) so that is my only negative comment, but I did not order a specialty cocktail, so I would rethink that next time or just stick to wine. I would definitely dine here again! Great place to go before a hockey or basketball game as it is walkable from Ball Arena.

   Thank you Jennifer for the feedback. We are thrilled that you loved everything so much (minus the Mule)! The Thai Brussels Sprouts are one of our favorites too! See you again soon!
