Glad the dim sum carts were still around, so also ordered a few items since it has been a while since having dim sum last time. The braised pigeon here was of the Guangdong Zhongshan style, with crispy skin and tender and juicy meat, even the bones were kind of crunchy, bringing back the memory of the taste from yesteryears. For dim sum, ordered the shrimp rice noodle rolls, XO sauce turnip cake, steamed chicken feet in brown sauce and beef offal in stew. The rice noodle rolls were fresh from the steamer, with a soft, tender and slippery texture, not overly thick to be floury and not overly thin to lose its chewiness. Certainly one of the better rice noodles in town. The XO sauce turnip cake, steamed chicken feet and stewed beef offal were all a little spicy. With the signature taste of the XO sauce, the turnip cake did not need additional dipping sauce. The turnip cake was served in small cubes, with crispy and earthly exterior and soft interior, matching the savory taste of the XO sauce well. The chicken feet were tender, meaty and flavorful. Beef offal was aromatic, tender and chewy. A very satisfying lunch and no wonder it was quite packed in late afternoon.

Service is prompt and attentive which is not typically the came in Chinese restaurants. The servers are very fast and efficient. They pay close attention to details. We came here for the Dim Sum and ordered an assortment of dishes that satisfied my daughter's cravings for dumplings and noodles. They couldn't get enough of them so they must be good! The beef balls have great flavors but have stringy parts in the middle, which made it hard to chew. The beef noodles hit the spot with tender beef sliced and flavorful broth. Other customers ordered food from the main menu which looked so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want to impress someone with authentic Chinese food. In comparison to LA Chinese food, I give an 8/10 which is a high mark.

On these days, we only pull dishes from the cart, never really ordering from the menu. There are a few home, run plates and a couple I could pass on, with the barbecue pork buns, putting a delicious, savory texture and flavor, with the sauce cooked in, versus the regular pork buns are a little more dry and have no sauce. The soup dumplings are also so good, along with the rice cakes, the Ube, sesame, desserts, the duck, steamed the shrimp buns and more. You really have to go for yourself and be willing to try things, I didn't love the duck feet (I think that's what it was?) but you have to at least try it. Always make sure to bring a huge appetite! Definitely will be back

Uncle makes me want to move to Denver! To start the ambiance is really chill and inviting with warm lighting and offers countertop as well as table seating. Our server was amazing and explained the menu well and made some recommendations that did not disappoint. We ordered way to much food but I do not regret that because I got to try so many amazing dishes. Despite ordering so many options they even brought us a chilled tofu dish complimentary (no clue why but not complaining) and it was lovely! We shared the uncle salad (amazing!), thai shrimp, eggplant buns, several different nigiri/aburi nigiri and sashimi and the toro toro and spicy tuna roll. All of the sushi was fresh and had excellent pairing of accompaniments. The only dish that I remember being a miss was the soft shell crab buns. The proportion of bun to interior was off and there was way too much mayo. Everyone got their own ramen which they seemed to love. I ordered the Veggie Khao Soi per our servers recommendation and I am still thinking about it weeks later. It was a curry/ramen mix and had big chunks of trumpet mushrooms in it and the perfect amount of spice that I love. Denverites I am jealous you have Uncle and anyone visiting make sure to add it to your list!

The postickers were cooked well, still juicy when you bite into them. The egg drop soup was well flavored but could've been topped with green onions. The egg drop soup is a necessity for the fried rice, which was too dry. Its a basic egg fried rice with short grain rice rather than jasmine rice and the rice was undercooked. Rice for fried rice should be dry but not undercooked. There was wok hei in the fried rice but it was a bit bland. If you're thinking of only ordering fried rice, don't.

On a beautiful evening, the open-air setup makes it feel like you've stumbled into one of the city's coolest rooftop escapes. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger (no pun intended) over drinks and soak it all in. The staff also deserves credit--friendly, attentive, and clearly dialed into creating a great guest experience. Where things start to fall apart, unfortunately, is the food. The concept is ambitious: a globally inspired menu pulling flavors from all over the world. In theory, it should be exciting. In execution, it feels like too much of a good thing. Nearly every dish we tried leaned heavy--over-seasoned, overly sauced, and lacking balance. The most consistent note across the board? Salt. Not just a touch too much, but enough to overpower the actual ingredients. Instead of distinct, thoughtful flavors, many dishes felt like they were competing with themselves--bold sauces layered on top of already strong components, resulting in bites that were more overwhelming than enjoyable. It's the kind of menu that seems designed to impress, but ends up exhausting your palate. Linger nails the atmosphere and hospitality, making it a fantastic place for drinks, a date night, or to show off Denver's scenery. But if you're coming primarily for the food, it may leave you wishing for a bit more restraint and refinement. Great setting, great service--but the kitchen could benefit from remembering that sometimes, less really is more.
