Hot and Sour Soup, Cheese Wontons
Ashley G.

Wow. Let me start by saying that the hot and sour soup is hands down the BEST I've ever had. We also ordered a cup each and not a bowl, and it was a large cup!! Portion sizes are large here! We also ordered the cheese Rangoons and those were super yummy. No crabby flavor which I like :) For our entree, we got the general tso's chicken. It was yummy, crispy, and saucy! Service was fast and attentive. We were able to sit down right away even on a Saturday night. You have to try this place! I see why people love it :)

Fancy menus
Robin S.

Pepper is always a must when we have guests visiting. This was my first time at this location and WOW I felt like it was such a fancy restaurant vs the Colfax location. I did not get the name of our sweet server but she was professional, knowledgeable and caring. The food is beyond!! I literally can taste the drunken noodles. The portions are huge so there is no doubt you can enjoy your leftovers the following day for lunch. What really amazed us was the foot traffic for takeaway meals. The entire bar was lined with takeaways the entire time we enjoyed our dinner. The mints at the counter are a must as well. Pepper never lets you down.

I've had the pad Thai, orange chicken, sesame chicken and the lo mien all of which are delicious. I don't think you can go wrong here. I normally get take out and it's quick and easy. The place looks nice on the inside and they have a patio.

Always have such an amazing time here. The food is always on point. The dishes are huge servings. Everything comes out hot and fresh tasting and very timely. The service is amazing and the people are so kind and helpful. Crystal and I both love coming here. It's near our neighborhood and we love walking here! We have also gotten take out and delivery and our favorite is to sit in and eat. We indulge in some cocktails at times but they also have plenty of NA options as well. The chicken fried rice is our favorite in town. Drunken noodles are always a classic here and any of the steak and veggie dishes. Honestly everything we can has always been really excellent here. And you can order different spice levels according to your preferences!

We were very impressed by our to go dishes! Everything was packaged nicely and was still hot by the time we got it home. We got the drunken noodles and General Tsos chicken. My husband got both medium, but the drunken noodles leaned more hot, and the Tsos chicken leaned more mild. My husband doesn't care for broccoli, so they did extra peppers and that was perfect. They did mention it is cheaper to order to go through them rather than grub hub, so something to keep in mind. Overall I was impressed and this will definitely be our new Chinese food go to.

Mongolian Beef Dinner
Sarah B.

Pepper Asian Bistro is a Denver staple! I've been ordering take out from here for years, and I finally decided to dine in. The food was just as good, if not better dining in. The service was great, everyone was super friendly and attentive. We were seated and served very quickly. I was curious how portions would compare to take out, and they were just as big if not a little bigger. There's plenty of seating - the space is bigger than I expected. There's a bar area to sit at as well. There's a parking lot in the back. This place never disappoints.

Veggie egg roll

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The hostess greeted us in the most friendly way, our server was super nice and attentive and the food was excellent. The place is tastefully decorated with clean restrooms. There's a decent size parking lot with plenty spots that were available on a weekday.

10/10. We selected this restaurant based off of Yelp reviews once we landed in Denver for a family vacation. The service was very good. The ambiance was a casual seating environment. We ordered several dishes to share family style: hot and sour soup, Kung Pao chicken, Hunan chicken, and Spicy Chicken with Basil. All were wonderfully prepared and we finished every single dish! This was a great start to our trip in Denver. Especially with the cold temperatures, the food from Pepper Asian Bistro II was hearty and filling.

Sesame Chicken Lunch
Lex P.

i LOVE pepper. i always have such a great experience here. i have ordered takeout here for years and have dined in a couple of times now. my friend and i popped in for lunch. parking lot + street parking. seated immediately. chicken dumplings in hot sauce are phenomenal. lunch specials came with a side, so i had sesame chicken + hot and sour soup + steamed rice. my friend had chicken & broccoli + fried rice + egg rolls. every single thing was fantastic! I've had many of their beef noodle dishes, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, lettuce wraps, cream cheese wontons, the list goes on. I've yet to be disappointed. they've got lots of seating and bar space. i imagine it gets busier on the weekends but for the most part, its been really chill and has quick service. i am a huge fan!!!!

mango sticky rice
Dan J.

Kinda low key spot that turned out to be great! Open late, humble decor, and attentive service, the menu includes a wide variety of rice, noodle, and curry dishes. Initially I thought it would be mediocre quality but I ordered a very tasty drunken noodle was very decently priced with a large serving. I always rave about any spots that serve Thai with mango sticky rice, which was a fantastic end to the meal. Lovely spot for a Thai craving late at night

Pineapple Fried Rice

I ordered the pineapple fried rice. Very disappointed. It's very bland and has no flavor. There's no seasoning or sauce. It's just white rice with unseasoned chicken and shrimp. Would not recommend ordering.

The shumai and pork buns came out first and really heightened our expectations. Both were delicious. The sauce that came with the shu mai is one of my favorites that I have ever tried. The pork buns are served with a spicy sauce which my dad liked but I decided to pass on. After that, we continued to get more and more disappointed. The Kung Pao Shroom Trio was not our favorite. The sauce on top was lacking and this dish really needs some protein. We also did not enjoy the cheeseburger dumplings. They did not have any cheese in them and the spicy mustard on top did not go with what we felt like the theme of the dish should be. I will say that every dish has great presentation. When we went, it was late. However, none of the servers seemed extremely interested in helping and they would drop items and quickly leave before you could say anything. They do have an online order and pay system which is really nice and the food comes out quickly. They do keep your sodas filled. The ambiance is definitely more bar like (again, makes sense since it was late) since they have a bar upstairs. Not a place for kids. We would come again for some shu mai and pork buns, but that's all.

(Hahaha!) The place is beautiful and the first thing my sister and I noticed waa the detailed design of their ceiling. There was so much intention placed in many things in the restaurant drom the little menu cubby under the table, to the hair ties in the girls's bathroom, or even the not so uncommon foot pull on their bathroom door so you don't have to open it after washing. The dishes were all delicious. All aspects of it thought of very well. Balanced meals with not too much salt, the proper acidity to liven the dish and even the textures were intentionally made. The BEST thing from this visit was our server, Hailey, who made the visit so personal. She made sure we had the right pacing to our courses and gave proper recommendations. We were excited to share the experience with hee whenever she came by. I think it is safe to say that Uchi is my current favorite restaurant in Denver right now.

Our waiter was very attentive and everyone made sure they accommodated the allergy at our table.

The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out.

Although CC has all 3, it is very average if not sub par. Hotpot is only as good as the sauce bar and broth it is boiled in. The sauce bar here was incredibly lackluster. 9 sauces total (ponzu, soy, sweet chili, peanut and sesame, sriracha, garlic paste, bbq sauce, sesame oil) is crazy when the restaurant claims it is a hot pot restaurant. If you have ever been to an actual hot pot restaurant you know that this is an incredibly low variety of sauces. No chili oil was probably the part that surprised me the most. The hot pot vegetable, fish and broth variety was average as well. My girlfriend got the plain tonkotsu broth and that was not great. I got the spicy tonkotsu broth and I enjoyed that. The bbq was not great. For wagyu you had an option of 6 different cuts along with the regular hot pot meats. The meat was over salted for a lot of it and only came with 3 pieces for some of them. Sushi was alright as well. I enjoyed the sashimi quite a lot, the salmon, yellowtail and tuna was great. The unagi nigiri was great too. The rolls were pretty good as well, we got a dragon roll and I enjoyed that. Service was great. The waitress put our order in and before she had even left the table we got the meat. The meat food runner was not friendly, but the waitress was kind the entire night and made sure we were taken care of. The longest we waited in between rounds was probably 3-5 minutes. Ambiance was good, the entire restaurant is very small. I'm glad we got a table as sitting near the conveyor belt would have had us feeling very cramped and severely limited the amount of food we could have ordered. It is well decorated overall however. For 2 bbq ayce and a bottle of soju plus a 20% tip, the total came out to 162 for the two of us. This felt ridiculously overpriced for the quality of food and options we were presenting with. A similar night at K Pot would be half the cost with much more variety of meat, hot pot and sauce. I am a big believer in value, and it feels like the price you pay for the quality of food you get here is not. I was ultimately disappointed in this place and would not return.

For drinks, we had the Thai tea and a lime leaf margarita. The Thai tea was super delicious, and the sweetness was just right. The lime leaf margarita is honestly one of my favorite margaritas I've ever had. For appetizers, we got the furikake potatoes, cucumber salad, and crab cheese wontons. They were all really tasty, but my favorite was definitely the furikake potatoes. The furikake seasoning gives them the perfect amount of flavor and spice, and I absolutely love the lime leaf aioli that comes with them. The cucumber salad was probably my second favorite. It has so much flavor, and I could honestly eat it all day. The crab cheese wontons were my third favorite, and my favorite part of those was actually the dipping sauce. For our main courses, we got the Korean fried chicken, tom yum noodles, and Three Treasures. My favorite was the Three Treasures. It's a vegetarian dish with stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, red pepper, and garlic sauce, and it was just incredibly flavorful. I was really impressed with how much flavor they packed into a vegetarian dish. The tom yum noodles were a very close second. They had shrimp, king trumpet and brown and white beech mushrooms, tomatoes, tom yum sauce, and spaghetti. Once again, the dish was just an explosion of flavor and really unique. The Korean fried chicken was my third favorite, but that definitely doesn't mean it wasn't impressive. The sauce on the chicken was to die for. It's a spicy garlic gochujang sauce, and it was absolutely delicious with the perfect level of heat. And then there's the Hong Kong French toast, which is one of my favorite things at this restaurant. It has a crispy cornflake crust, kaya coconut jam, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. It is seriously out-of-this-world good. If you're looking for an excellent place to eat or somewhere you want to take someone to impress them, I'd definitely recommend The Ginger Pig. Everything we had was fantastic, and I can't wait to go back.

Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget.

Would absolutely come back here. I loved the menu options and quality of the food we ordered. I'm…read morestill thinking about the tuna temaki (diy handrolls). We also ordered the chicken karaage with kung Pao sauce/toppings. The staff also brought the shaved broccoli for us to try, which was so nice. Our waiter recommended 4 shareables for the 2 of us, but we felt like 3 dishes (1 veg, 1 protein, 1 noodle/rice) was the perfect amount. On a Saturday night the music inside was pretty loud making it difficult to have conversations at the table, so we requested outside seating and loved that experience in nice weather. The tables were also pretty close inside. If you like the busier ambiance like that, then indoor seating would be a fun vibe!

Kawani definitely is the place to go to grab some really good drinks and bites. Very fun, chill…read morevibe that is energetic and romantic. My husband got their Japanese whiskey and we were very impressed. Food wise, kinda meh....and overpriced for the quality. A little disappointed that the dishes we got were very Americanized and felt like we could get better foods elsewhere. Their karage reminded me of Panda Express. But, I would say their cold sesame noodle was very good! Our servers were great and took good care of us even when it got busy. All in all, I think it's a place to bring friends to chit chat, enjoy good drinks and bites, immerse in good vibes. However, if you are looking for authentic Japanese food, Sushi Den and Temaki Den are better options.
