Just wanted to share another great experience at Birdhouse, still one of our faves! My daughter and…read moreher fiancé wanted comfort food last night, so we went to Birdhouse and, like always, left totally satisfied. We got the Birdhouse Flight to start--guac, five-cheese queso, and their birdhouse salsa (a tasty, mild tomatillo). Seriously, it's the best way to start your meal. For dinner, we all had ramen. I went for the Hellfire with extra bok choy. This ramen is no joke. If you want something spicy, this is it. The chili sauce, flakes, and oil really bring the heat. The kids got the Tonkotsu, which was amazing as usual--great broth and super tender meat. I had my spicy ramen with a Juicy Bits from WeldWerks, perfect combo. Seriously, it's some of the best ramen and service around North Denver. Whether it's for a special day or just a chilly night. Birdhouse is always good. I totally recommend it!

As a big ramen fan, Birdhouse was a pleasant surprise for me. I've had ramen at practically all the…read morewell known spot in Denver, from Katsu Ramen to Ramen Star (RIP) to Tokio. So it was shocking that I found such a good bowl out here in Erie. I got the Hellfire Ramen, a tonkotsu-based ramen served with their house spicy sauce, chili oil, pork shoulder, and a soft boiled egg. The broth was rich and flavorful, the spice level was perfect (quiet hot but still maintaining a good balance of flavors), and the pork shoulder was tender but still has a bit of nice toothsomeness. Overall, this was an excellent bowl of ramen comparable to any of the top spots in Denver. The only slight downside is that the broth was just a tough too salty for my liking, and I would've preferred a soy marinated egg over a soft boiled egg. They have other ramen here was well, such as a chicken-based shio ramen, a regular tonkotsu, and a Thai curry ramen. I definitely would return to try the other ramen. If the other items on this menu is as tasty, I wouldn't hesitate to give them 5 stars.

So as soon as we got out we noticed this small Japanese restaurant and made a quick executive decision to eat there. We ordered some sushi platters they not only looked beautiful, but we're also delicious in addition we ordered a combo fried rice oh my God it was to die for. Also had teriyaki chicken, soup and Sichuan beef all incredible. Yes we will definitely recommend this place. And we will defitnely return for more delights.

My daughter got some curry sauce with her tonkatsu and it tasted sweet and sour which is not how Japanese curry should taste.

Our quest for great Japanese food continues and our next stop was Shin Yuu Izakaya in Louisville…read more We are big fans of Izakaya style dining and this looked promising Stopped in early Friday evening to a restaurant that was relatively full for 5 pm. Seated immediately and the menu had many options on the sushi/sashimi/izakaya fare. On this evening I ordered a variety of nigiri pieces, the 5 piece sashimi board, and a chicken gizzard, chicken heart, and pork belly yakitori skewers. The sushi was very good and totally legit. The Sashimi board while good, the pieces were oddly cut. Not a complaint but it looked like the trimmings of the end pieces. The skewers were great, I'm not sure how many order the heart and gizzards but if you are a fan then this place nailed it. The pork belly skewer was probably my favorite. Since I was happy with the sushi, I placed a final order for their fresh uni nigiri, it was very fresh, creamy, and worth it! Overall great place, solid service, easy location, and lots of parking. We'll be back for sure!

If you come here, do yourself a favor and skip the standard rolls--go straight for the Omakase. It was easily the highlight of the meal. The chef's selection was incredibly thoughtful, featuring fish that was melt-in-your-mouth fresh and beautifully presented. Each piece was brushed with just the right amount of soy sauce, fresh wasabi or topped with a garnish that perfectly complimented the flavor profile of the fish. You can tell the chefs here take immense pride in their craft.

I completely don't remember what everyone ordered but I DO remember all the things I tried at the table. Tater Tots - parmesan & chives / house onion sour cream - nothing outstanding about this but the kids/teens/young adults LOVED it and may have inhaled it in one breath. Roasted Cauliflower - saffron cream / chermoula / sumac / miso aioli / crispy onion - the saffron cream was a nice touch of essence and the crispy onion brought a good sweetness and texture to the dish. Honey Bourbon Wings - fried chicken wings / honey bourbon glaze / dill pickles - this was FABULOUS, good fry, not burnt and the glaze was perfect, not ooey gooey sticky, just sticky to the touch. Wild Boar Bucatini - wild boar ragu / cured egg yolk / parmesan / chives - this was my dinner order. I'm always excited when there's bucatini on the menu. It just holds enough sauce in the hollows to satisfy me. The ragu was cooked well, good sauce maybe it needed just a little pinch more of salt for my liking. Parking in the neighborhood is not difficult. We had an airbnb down the street and walked here in less than 5 minutes. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well as a covered patio-ish area. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Lafayette!

Bangkok Avenue delivered a large take-out order for five people last nite that was, from start to…read morefinish, deeply forgettable. The common thread across every dish was not inconsistency but uniform blandness. What arrived on our table lacked taste, energy, and intention, as if the kitchen was simply executing recipes without engagement or care. The moo ping should have been a highlight sweet, smoky, caramelized, and alive with char. Instead, it arrived hollow and lifeless, missing the marinade and fire that define the dish. There was no depth, no fragrance, no sense that the cook believed in what was being served. The accompanying rice was merely filler, and an additional order of Thai fried rice continued the same pattern: edible, but flat, dull, and entirely uninspired. My wife's gluten-free Pad Thai with tofu, a dish built on balance and brightness, was especially disappointing. It lacked acidity, sweetness, umami, and spice every note that gives Pad Thai its character. The noodles felt seasoned out of obligation rather than intention. It was food that offered no pleasure and no reason to return to it, ultimately left unfinished out of sheer indifference. This experience was not about spice tolerance, dietary restriction, or personal preference. Five people ordered widely, and the conclusion was unanimous: nothing stood out, nothing lingered, nothing satisfied. When every plate is this muted, it signals more than an off night it suggests a chef cooking without inspiration, without curiosity, and without soul. Thai cuisine is bold by nature. Having eaten throughout Thailand, we know that even the most modest street stall delivers food with clarity, confidence, and heart. What was served here bore little resemblance to that tradition. Last night (contrary to other nights and lunches in the past) , Bangkok Avenue did not simply miss the mark it stripped Thai food of the very element that makes it special: taste.

I did end up going back tonight! Got pretty close to the same creation I had last night - but this time I had 3x tunas and 1x shrimp - all on spring mix with an incredible mixture of sauces, veggies and such. Also added some kind of pineapple drink tonight. Great drink. Wish I lived closer.

There's some seating inside and they have an outside patio with more seating. But seriously wasn't expecting the excellent poke and such big portions. Also got the pork and beef bao buns and they were delicious. The poke bowl was full of yummy ingredients, seaweed, orange fish eggs, decent amount of tuna, peas, sweet tomatoes. We also got one of their canned orange strawberry drinks which was good. Prices were very affordable for the amount of food you get. Service was fast and friendly. Really unexpected but we'll definitely be back!
