    Okinawa, a contemporary Japanese restaurant, occupied this space for exactly 15 years, closing in December 2025. The owners wanted to refresh the concept and came up with "Ma's Kitchen," a Chinese restaurant featuring dim sum (particularly dumplings and buns), noodle soups, and a handful of traditional entrées. Note that there are two Ma's Kitchens, this large space facing Colfax plus "Ma's Kitchen Next Door," a small space with a more limited menu, in the rear of the building, facing York Street. I had noticed a big, "Soft Opening," banner that morning so we thought we'd give it a try. We were the first to arrive for dinner service. The staff was very friendly and enthusiastic. The space looked great, clean and modern with nice decorative touches. The kitchen was very fast. We ordered a variety of dishes, starting with the Scallion Pancakes and the Fried Sesame Balls. The "pancakes" arrived cut into triangles. They were very savory and deliciously crunchy. The sesame balls were also very crisp and filled with a tasty red bean paste. My girlfriend, who has lived in Japan, was eager to try them and thought they were very authentic. We then ordered the Shu Mai, an open-topped dumpling containing a pork mixture and topped with orange Masago (capelin roe). They were very pretty and quite tasty, but I was a little disappointed by the gummy wrappers. Finally, we tried the Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup with the Ramen noodles. The presentation was beautiful, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the broth was flavorful. The brisket could have been a bit more tender. Some pieces also were wrapped in an excessive amount of fat. We enjoyed our meal. The many flavors and textures were very appealing. The staff was excellent, very knowledgeable and very interested in what we thought of the new menu. The space is very comfortable. All-in-all a great refresh and a great addition to the Colfax restaurant scene.

    We came here for a light lunch with the puppy, which is allowed on the patio! Having previously been to the Ma's dim sum next door prior to the expansion, I was pretty excited about this opening next door. The menu seems a little bit bigger and they now have a full service bar with a great cocktail menu (their take on an espresso martini is great). We ordered the shrimp and pork dumplings, xo soup dumplings, daikon rice cake, and xo green beans. The food arrived promptly and the portion size is generous, especially for the price. Everything is super tasty, especially the green beans. I wish the soup dumplings had a little bit more soup, but the flavor is great. Would highly recommend this place!

    This might honestly be my favorite dim sum in Denver. Ma's Kitchen recently took over the former Okinawa space on East Colfax and it made a great first impression. The space is beautiful with an elegant but still welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal. The service was fantastic. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there, which always makes the experience even better. The drinks were well balanced and thoughtfully made, and the food was easily the highlight. Everything we tried was excellent. Not a bad bite in the bunch. One thing to note is that this location is different from the more casual Ma's Kitchen next door. This one feels more like a full sit down restaurant experience. If you're a dim sum fan, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    Pretty cozy modern open view kitchen dimsum restaurant with beautiful teal plating sets. We loved the experience. Good food and wonderful service. We tried Clayton eggplant, Xiao long bao combination, beef short ribs in black pepper sauce, and dimsum combination.

    Seriously my new favorite dim sum place. It's the perfect combination of casual and upscale. On top of that the service is ON TOP OF THINGS! At the end they apologized for "going to slow" which blew me away because for a packed restaurant because it felt like every 5-10 minutes food kept showing up. The food blew me away. The buttery crispy shrimp, clay pot eggplant, assortment of Xiao Long Bao, scallion pancakes, Ube Cheesecake to go, and shrimp dumpling is what we ordered and I was looking for reasons dare I say nitpicking things that could be changed and I was running out of things to say. Everything was so delicious. This is on par with Dim sum from SF and NYC. I don't care if that's a big statement, come for me dim sum snobs and I'll Redirect you right to Ma's kitchen.

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.

Fun Fact: They are famous for turning the classic Espresso Martini into a viral art form. Beyond serving standard coffee cocktails, their signature draw is a dedicated Espresso Martini Bar menu featuring outlandish, dessert-inspired creations--including a Whipped Espresso Martini topped with thick dalgona-style whipped coffee, a Dubai Chocolate version with pistachio, and even an Ube Espresso Martini made with vibrant purple yam liqueur. The space itself is designed as a twin-concept lounge: step into one side for modern craft cocktails infused with liquid nitrogen or food-grade perfume vapors at Welton Room, and slide right next door to Monkey Bar for decadent, caffeinated mixology flight boards.

Cash only. $5 for all drinks. Don't expect any fancy cocktails. They can still make a juice, soda, liquor concoction with a lime, and voila! You have a cocktail. The crowds are super diverse in age and ethnicity, a rarity I desperately often miss in CO. The music is awesome.. 90's grunge, rnb, hiphop. We bought a stack of playing cards. Also $5 and entertained ourselves for hours. I visited other bars afterwards and had to come back to old faithful for our nightcap.

Lincolns absolutely delivers on the speakeasy vibe - from trying to find the door, to figuring out how to actually get inside (LOL), to settling in with drinks once you're finally through. It makes the whole experience feel interactive and memorable. **Tip: it actually isn't too hard to find. I won't completely spoil it for people who want the fun of the hunt, but I'll leave a few hints at the bottom. The drink special that night - their version of an Old Fashioned - was excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The other cocktails are liquor + mixer with the soda or bar gun. We tried a local gin (can't remember the name) & soda and a Four Roses Bourbon & Pepsi. There was a odd flavor that came with that round and tasted watered down. Stick with the special. So good! I'd go back all day for the special alone. The staff was a little bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the experience. Everyone was nice, but they didn't seem especially engaged, and the attire didn't really match the speakeasy atmosphere. That said, the space itself is large and immersive enough that once we had our drinks, we just leaned into the whole experience and had a great time. HINTS: 1. Go to the address listed... duh. 2. Something is COOKING through the glass. 3. Find the stairs down. 4. If you hear music and see some impressive doors, figure out how to LIFT the handle to get inside.
