The Shan noodles here are one of my favorite things in Denver. Even though USA Today and Yelp have…read moreshown Urban Burma a lot of love over the years, it's still a true hidden gem because of its location in Mango House. This is not a fancy place. It's a near-cafeteria like vibe served to you with the biggest smiles and friendly service (one of the owners Siri is awesome). This is all about the food, and while you'll get the tea leaf salad by default, make sure to get the Shan noodles and the paratha too if you want some flavor variety. If you haven't had a lot of Burmese food in your life, just ask whoever is working for help. They'll be glad to steer you in the right direction for a flavorful meal that will be one of the most unexpectedly good ones you'll have this month.

We ate at Urban Burma a few years ago and absolutely loved it, so when we found ourselves in the…read moreLowry area, we knew we had to stop back in even though we live on the other side of the metro and rarely make it over this way. We ordered the Ono Kao Sweh and the sampler, and everything was excellent. Just as good as we remembered. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful when it came to navigating the menu. Urban Burma is located inside the Mango House food hall, along with several other shops. The surrounding neighborhood can look a little rough around the edges, but don't let that deter you. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Burmese food, this place is absolutely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

A true hidden gem - do not miss this place!…read more This Vietnamese restaurant is one of those spots you hope stays a local secret forever, but it's just too good not to share. The food, portions, flavors, and overall experience are absolutely outstanding. First - you cannot leave without trying the homemade ginger ale. I have no idea what magic they put into it, but it is truly out of this world. It's unique, refreshing, and easily one of the most memorable drinks I've had at a restaurant. The pho is consistently delicious - packed with incredible flavor. The sesame chicken is another standout, but honestly, the curries are where this place really shines. My friend said the lamb curry was one of the best things he has ever eaten, and I completely understand why. The curries come out piping hot and overflowing- literally. The atmosphere is just as special as the food. The inside has such a great vibe - cozy, welcoming, and full of character. They also have the cutest little patio that feels like a hidden oasis with all the greenery and homey touches. The management and staff are phenomenal. They are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your experience. They constantly check in and somehow always seem to surprise you with something extra. You can tell this place is run by people who truly love what they do. We've done both takeout and dine-in, and the quality never changes. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. They also have great vegan options, so there really is something for everyone. They are connected with the same ownership/management as Golden Bánh Mì next door, which is also incredible - clearly there is a passion for creating amazing food and experiences.

We came here to celebrate my cousin's birthday, and we had a very large party, so I honestly wasn't…read moresure what to expect when we arrived. However, the staff was extremely accommodating and did a great job making sure everyone was taken care of. Even though the restaurant was busy and our group was much larger than the average party, they still provided great service and were very patient with us. I really appreciated how much effort they put into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The food was also very tasty. I ordered the sesame chicken, and it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The sauce had just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming, and the chicken had a really good crunch to it. It was exactly what I was hoping for and definitely one of the highlights of my meal. Everything else that I tried was enjoyable as well, and overall, I was impressed with the quality of the food. My biggest complaint was more about the layout of the restaurant than the food or service. Because we had such a large group, there really weren't many spaces available that could accommodate everyone together. We ended up having to sit at five separate tables, which was a little inconvenient when we were trying to celebrate a birthday as a group. I completely understand that the staff was working with the space they had, and I really appreciate that they did everything they could to accommodate us. It just would have been nice if there were a larger seating area where big parties could sit together. I think a remodel or some type of redesign of the dining area could really benefit the restaurant, especially if they frequently have larger parties. Creating a designated space for bigger groups would make the experience much more convenient and would allow families and large groups to actually sit together and enjoy their meals. Overall, though, we had a great experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the food was delicious, and they did a great job handling our large group despite how busy they were. The seating situation was definitely the only downside, and I think that could be improved with a little more space or a remodel. I would still come back, especially for the food and the excellent service!

This was our first time so they gave us some guidance on what goes in the bowls versus burritos versus salads versus tacos. We opted to share the burrito with tofu. The tofu has a great curry flavor so it didn't lack too much. The chicken potstickers had a decent crunch and I loved the sauce on the side. Also got a side of yakisoba which was delicious. One of the workers gave us some sauce concoction which were absolutely delicious. Didn't catch his name but he was super friendly and he is the reason we will be back.

Fried rice was typical, egg fried rice, no veggies. The veggie egg rolls didn't wow me until I had it with both sauces: I believe sweet and sour with some Chinese mustard. Really brings the rolls up a notch. Nicely crispy for both the chicken and the rolls. Thai iced tea had perfect flavor, ice to drink ratio & I wish I got more than one because it was difficult to pace myself. Overall, if I ended up in Denver again with a long layover this is what I'd want. Probably skip the fried rice for regular steamed rice and order x2 drinks. $31.20 meal cost $15.24 for fees + tip

Good lil mom n' pops Chinese restaurant in Aurora…read more.. Stopped in after a long trail day... "Vintage" looking place (definitely needs a facelift). The restaurant itself is presumably a small family owned joint, but has plenty of seating. Surprisingly, they were not busy at all for a Friday night... No problem, we got immediately seated and waited on. The lady running the place was super friendly and funny... Jokes for days, and the strong Chinese accent made it even funnier. Our food came out quick, enormous portions (way too much to eat in one setting), and was respectable Americanized Chinese food... Not the best I've had, but still good. $50 for dinner / 2 people, but they give you enough for 4 people, so I thought it was really well priced. Overall, good pick on our part... I'll definitely come back again when in town for work.

There's a full bar, which I recommend you take advantage of. Pricing is pretty standard, about $15-$20 for an entree. I ordered the green curry with beef. It was delicious! My roommate ordered spring rolls and a Thai tea with boba. Her spring rolls fell apart, tasted mid, and the sauce didn't save it. Her drink also didn't hit; she didn't end up finishing it. I'm pretty torn about whether or not I want to return. If I did, it's because the staff were actually super nice and I'd wanna support nice people. Just might not order a spring roll or Thai tea next time

We were to dinner around 5:15, which meant we were able to take advantage of their Happy Hour food and drink. They also gave us a complimentary dessert! We tried to crab Rangoons and fish and chips (not on the happy hour). From the happy hour menu, we had the Wagyu Beef Sliders and edamame. Everything was good although I probably wouldn't order the fish and chips again. Keep in mind that Jing is priced a little high, but I think you are mainly paying for the service and ambiance. Mary, our server, was attentive, professional, and kind! We never felt rushed and she went above and beyond to making sure we were regularly checked in on and had a nice dinner. The restaurant is fairly small and reminds you of a decorated hotel ballroom. It is a little dark when the sun sets. Lots of big groups and smaller groups celebrating around us!

I came here on a Friday night with two family friends. We had reservations for the patio, but there…read morewere still open tables available for walk-ins. From the second I walked in, service was impeccable, welcoming, and helpful. Staff went above and beyond to walk me to the restroom (as it was my first time dining here), out to my patio table, and quickly brought water. Everyone was dressed up for the occasion, chandeliers were lining the interior with a gorgeous and sophisticated look, and the music was a fun K-Pop/dance vibe. Our table of three started with the Buddha Button (essentially a lemon drop martini with Deep Eddy's and a special flower that invigorates your taste buds to create a literal "party in your mouth"). Anything cold adds to the buzzing, vibrating energy; pair the flower with a cold cocktail and it's a phenomenal experience! We also had a bottle of white wine - it was to be expected: tasty. We tried the crab rangoons and thought they were a fun snack, although $21 for four rangoons was tough. I could've gone to Panda Express and gotten four for $3.99 and called it a day. Christine and I both had the Miso Sea Bass - easily the crowd favorite. Even though it was light, it was very flavorful with the sauce, mushrooms, and rice included in the meal. It was mostly filling, though charging $64 for that as the main entree is quite a big stretch. The crowd winner was our server, Maddie. She had amazing recommendations, a full understanding of the menu, and was very attentive and personable. Overall, fun experience! The price for the quantity of food makes it a dubious chance of returning, but A+ for the staff!

That's exactly what happened at East Moon. The menu is huge. Sushi, ramen, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese dishes... basically something for whatever mood you're in. Usually when a restaurant tries to do that many things, something suffers. That wasn't the case here. The sushi nachos were easily my favorite thing we ordered. Honestly, I could've made a meal out of those alone. The combination of fish, mango, avocado, sauces, and crispy wonton chips just worked. We also ordered gyoza, beef pad thai, a Hawaiian Dragon Roll, sashimi ceviche, and tonkotsu ramen. Everyone at the table had a different favorite, which is usually a pretty good sign. The service was also genuinely friendly, which always makes a difference. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a little bit of everything.

The standout for me was the taro fries. I absolutely loved them. They were crispy, flavorful, and something I'd order again. They were also surprisingly good as leftovers the next day, which isn't something you can say about most fries. If you're getting takeout and won't be eating right away, these still hold up really well. Overall, ZOMO is a great spot if you're looking for generous options, flexible portion sizes, and some unique menu items. The taro fries alone are worth the visit.

We love the diversity of flavors here and this lived up to that expectation and standard. CHKN & PANDAN WAFFLE is also a 9/10. INCREDIBLE waffle. Amazing texture and taste. The chicken was delicious.

SPACE: I feel like the space just isn't cohesive. It's large, which is great if you're stopping in with a group. There's some modern touches, but other elements feel a bit dated.

SIPS: They offer the usual staples of Asian restaurants including boba, Thai tea, Sapporo, and sake. I chose a soda while my husband opted for a Sapporo. Nothing to write home about here. SUSTENANCE: We kicked off out meal with an order of the crab cheese wontons, because yum! For the main event we chose Manhattan, Colorado, Osaka, and Miami rolls. With spicy crabmeat inside and topped with avocado, tuna, and salmon - I just loved the simplicity of the Manhattan roll. Sometimes you need something fried! If that's the case then you should check out the Colorado roll: salmon, avocado, cream cheese, seared topped with chopped scallop, and spicy mayo sauce. Honestly they were all quite tasty! Needless to say after our sushi feast we left feeling satisfied and needing a nap! Ha! We frequently make our way to southeast Aurora, and I can say we'd give Bangkok Tokyo another visit.
