    fried rice
    Tova B.

    We were really excited to try this restaurant because of its exceptional reviews, but unfortunately the evening turned into a bit of an unfortunate series of events. To start, we were seated at a table with what I can only describe as a Brandy Melville-esque brick pole right in the middle of the seating area. Because of the way the couches were arranged, we had to basically hop over the edge of the couch to get into our seats. At first the couch seemed cozy and novel, but as the night went on my back started hurting, it was hard to hear people across the table, and the whole setup just felt awkward. Also... that pole situation truly felt like a fire hazard. When we ordered, our server kindly warned us that the kitchen was running behind and that food might take a bit longer. Totally understandable as it was busy and they seemed a little understaffed. In the end, our food took about an hour from ordering, including appetizers. I tried some of my friend's "Beef Balls!" (yes, the exclamation point is part of the menu name) and they were... interesting. Pretty salty, pretty tangy, essentially just some balls on a stick. Another friend mentioned their Diet Coke was flat, and oddly none of our limes had any juice in them. Truly impressive citrus drought. So we were off to a bit of a rocky start. For our mains we ordered fried rice, pad see ew, pad thai, and pad soo wen. What impressed me most was how all four dishes somehow lacked any personality whatsoever. The fried rice was mushy and clumpy, almost stuck together, and surprisingly bland. Some of the vegetables also tasted a little bitter. The pad see ew was fine... but again, very little flavor. I started with the pad woo sen, which came out extremely spicy but still somehow flavorless. My mouth was just burning. Now, I will admit I'm an average white woman with somewhat sensitive taste buds, but I didn't realize this dish was meant to be spicy and I wasn't asked about spice level either. I mentioned the dish to who I believe was the manager, and he was actually incredibly kind and apologetic. He immediately grabbed me a menu so I could try something else. I switched to the pad thai. Unfortunately... the pad thai also had very little flavor. At this point I genuinely wondered if I had COVID and had lost my sense of taste. The manager came back and was very persistent about making things right (which I appreciated, though I started to feel a little bad sending things back). Third time's the charm, right? He suggested the garlic fried rice with a fried egg. I wish I could say that solved things. The egg arrived quite burnt (see photo), and the rice was again clumpy and bland. At one point my friend summed up the experience perfectly: "I'm just eating this because it's in front of me." Overall, the staff was kind and clearly trying their best, which I genuinely appreciated. But for the price point of this restaurant, the food really should be much better than average and unfortunately that just wasn't our experience.

    Cute spot for Thai food and cocktails. Came here on a weeknight with no reservation and our group of 4 was able to get seated immediately. Indoor dining available. I ordered the coconut soup with tofu and ordered "Hot" level of spicy, and it was SPICY. I underestimated the level of spice and for that, my mouth was on fire and so I ordered a Thai iced tea to cool it down. You're able to customize the level so I would say that a medium would've been good for me. Our waiter was very friendly and we weren't rushed. This is a nice place to hang out and catch up with friends.

    The fastest I've ever been influenced was by an inflatable chef standing outside this place, personally inviting me in. Den Thai Tapas & Wine just opened in LoDo, and they describe themselves as "fun dining," which honestly feels accurate. The vibe is relaxed and loungey with fun music, a solid cocktail menu, and genuinely attentive service that makes you want to hang out longer. We tried a handful of dishes and the food was good!The larb chicken was bright and flavorful with just the right amount of heat and acidity. The crispy duck panang was rich and comforting, with perfectly cooked duck and a great sauce. The crying tiger steak was cooked perfectly and paired really well with the tamarind fish sauce. The pad z ew was also a standout with well cooked noodles and great balance. We also tried the chicken satay, the tamarind shrimp, the pork belly app, and the tom yum soup. This is a great spot if you're looking for something lively but still food focused. I went in curious and left happy.

    Part of the dining area, cozy and cute!

    This place is so amazing I don't even know where to start! The place allows for all sorts of party sizes. The place is super cute and cozy! Our server was friendly and quick! The food was to die for! Sooooo good! We will be back for more again and again!

    The food was delicious and the vibes in the restaurant were very classy. We had the som Tum Thai, Duck Fried Rice, and Pad Thai. Ann was our server and was very nice and attentive to us during our meal. Love the craft cocktails too!!

    What a charming place! Then the food came and WOW! Started with the Three some mushrooms and the Inferno shrimp paired with a Spicy Margarita and my friend had a coconut water (came with its own brand!) Entree of Kee Mao Duck (solid 10/10) and finished with a dessert of Honey Bread. Definitely a go to for all occasions!

    The duck Panang curry! We didn't really care for the fried rice and the mocktail was just okay

    I am so glad I picked this place to come celebrate my ME day (2-12-26)! This place has been opened for about 2 months. Don't let the blow up welcome guy fool you by their door! Lol This place is a great addition to Denver and the fine dining scene. The ambiance of this place is classy and intimate. The staff are warm and friendly. Our waitress Wanisa was great. I had a pleasure to meet and chat with one of the owners Don. Through talking with Don and Wanisa, I got to know the story of how this restaurant came about. There is a sense of humor about this place and menus, which I like and also fits their motto of fine dining and fun. I love the furniture selection here too. We had to have the blue balls mocktail which were great and the color so beautiful. We tried the beef balls, tamarind shrimp, shishito peppers, and pot stickers from their golden hour menu. We enjoyed them all. Nothing was oily, soggy, or cold. We ordered the pad z ew tofu, eggplant panang, and crab meat fried rice for our entrees. The entrees were all delicious. The tofu was cooked crispy in the pad z ew and the dish had a great flavor. The crab meat fried rice is definitely meaty and savory. Really good crab meat fried rice I've had in a long while. The eggplant panang was just as delicious as any curry I've had too. I love the flavor and aroma of this curry dish. I definitely recommend for Vegans! Mmmmm, the honey toast we had for dessert and which was recommended was great. We pretty much finished that! All the dishes were hot, distinct in flavor, beautiful presentation, prepared with care, and authentic. I would highly recommend this place! Hello-ooooo.......V-day is just around the corner here and this place is worth it! Prices are reasonable with the quality and quantity you get here. This is definitely added to one of my favorite places to come back too. Den Thai (Don and Jay), keep the authenticity going and the vibe! It was a pleasure to dine with and meet you.

    I have a gluten sensitivity and I found so many food items I could eat here. The Larb Chicken, Shrimp Satay, and Crab Meat Fried Rice were all incredible! The manager and our server were super kind and we had some really nice conversations with them! The restaurant was very modern and cozy-- a great place for a date. We will be back for my birthday in a few weeks!

    Literally couldn't recommend somewhere highly enough. Great experience and to die for food. Perfect spice level for the sensitive and spice chasers both and my lord the edamame & oysters!!

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

We originally sat at a lower table with a large couch and two side chairs. We had a group of six and we fit pretty comfortably. The only error we had was when the waitress was bending down to give us our first round, someone from the table behind bumped her and the tray of drinks went over. Honestly not really her fault and she was very apologetic. It did splash one of my party members, which is why they offered to comp us the drinks and we had to unfortunately move the table because of broken glass. They were fortunately able to get us into another table pretty quickly. It was close to the bar, which wasn't inherently bad. They gave us a fresh round of drinks. The food that came out was all amazing. We ended the meal with their chocolate chip cookies, which were divine. I'm pretty sure they were brown butter chocolate chip cookies because it had that excellent specific flavor you get from browning butter and baking.
