    Crab cheese wontons
    Elise M.

    We finally tried this place and loved it! The wontons and sesame chicken were fantastic, some of the best sesame chicken I have had in recent memory. The wontons were very good too. Plus, we loved the decor and the service was friendly and fun.

    This restaurant serves Americanized Chinese cuisine. The atmosphere is pleasant, the service is friendly, and the food is served quickly. I was hoping for authentic Chinese cuisine on a 'hidden' menu, but it was not available at this location.

    There is a reason this restaurant has been in business for 40 years! It's a neighborhood favorite and the staff is wonderful. We had great service and enjoyed chatting with our server. I am a big fan of appetizers so we had to try a variety and our favorite were the pan fried dumplings. The lettuce wraps and Mongolian beef were also very flavorful and made great Leftovers!

    First time visit. I'm originally from SF. Bay Area and Shanghai's hot and sour soup is as good as I've had in SF. We went for lunch and the portions are very generous. Everything we had tasted freshly prepared and hot. We will return.

    The apps were good and so was the service but overall felt it was over priced Chinese food that was hyped to be really good when it wasn't.

    EVERYTHING FRESH AND MADE TO ORDER!!…read more Mapo Eggplant: Huge portions, great flavor, and cooked perfectly. Not over salted, and paired so well with rice. Garlic green beans: Still got a nice crunch and so flavorful with the garlic. The garlic was nicely fried and was not overpowering at all! Fried Pork dumplings: HANDMADE AND MADE TO ORDER. I couldn't believe how fresh and flavorful these were. They are not soup dumplings, but they were incredibly juicy. The size was ginormous! Shandong ramen with handmade noodles: Handmade noodles had a nice bouncy texture, tender meat, and flavorful light broth. Very similar to beef noodle soup.

    I ordered the spicy beef. It was literally immersed, swimming, in grease. My guess is that they…read moreuse, as do so many restaurants, cheap, unhealthful seed oil. So it's, for me, inedible. I liked the people, the place, the menu, the location, but honestly I paid $30 for leftovers that I can't eat. It's a shame. I've never before seen anything this greasy. The owner came out to my car after I exited and asked why I didn't like it. While I respect that, he explained that what appeared as grease was instead, sauce, and that it was flash fried. The problem is that neither the sauce nor grease had taste or spice. When I placed several pieces of beef on a napkin, they saturated the napkin with oil. Maybe it's an oily sauce? They were generous with the beef. The beef quality was pretty good, and the vegetables were unique enough to merit praise. If it were me, I would ramp up the taste quotient in either the marinade or sauce, eliminate 90% of the oil, as it's unnecessary, and add spice. This could be a healthy dish if they used avocado oil, way less oil, and reduced the salt.

    Pretty bad delivery meal. With food costs so high it's always extra sad to order from some place…read morethat isn't nice quality food. Chicken, chewy and mushy and not normal meat texture AT ALL. If they're "velveting" it, it's excessive and gross. Chicken Fried rice was okay. But so bland and mushy and wet. Also had the weird chicken in it. Peanut curry lunch. Tasted just like like peanut sauce covering everything. They forgot my egg roll so can't speak on those. The curry had a lot of the mushy chicken and almost no veggies. One broccoli, 3 large chunks of mostly raw red pepper. No peanuts. A few snow peas. Pad Thai. Not good. Weirdest and close to worst pad Thai I've ever had. It had a grainy texture to the sauce and was really thick and really bland but sweet all at once. Just a container of red mush noodles and red mush chicken. Why? I really can't understand what is happening. Is this like premade canned or frozen and super cheap so they're selling it? Pad Thai at better Thai restaurants isn't super hard to make and is much nicer. I am just super confused by it. It really reminded me of Thai cup of noodle microwave ramen-like food I've tried at Asian grocery stores. The gyoza were okay. A little harder and drier than we would have preferred and not crispy by their arrival. I could never order here again because we tried such a broad array and its quality was just horrible over all. Even the rice was mushy and very clearly not high quality jasmine rice. Nothing seemed Thai-like at all. Nothing was fresh, light, savory, or vibrant, all things I associate with food thai food. I'm sure with a few pivotal changes they could perk up the menu.

    Did an Uber Eats order from here of beef pad Thai and it was really yummy! Food arrived nice and…read morewarm and with a pretty generous portion! Beef was sweet and tender, noodles and egg and sauce were very tasty. I prefer mine with a little bit more lime, but that's probably just personal preference. Would order again!

After a quick search for Indian restaurants in Denver, we came across Sukoon--and we are so glad we did. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet with only a few tables occupied, which made us a bit uncertain at first. However, we were warmly greeted and seated by a gentleman who, I believe, was the owner. His hospitality set a welcoming tone for the evening. We decided to try a variety of appetizers, including samosas, papadi chaat, stuffed mushrooms, gobi Manchurian, and dal soup, as well as shrimp tandoori for our entrée. Every dish was exceptionally well-prepared--beautifully seasoned, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. Each bite was truly delightful. As we enjoyed our meal, we couldn't help but wonder why the restaurant wasn't busier. Sukoon is one of those rare finds you want to see thrive: outstanding food, attentive service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. When we finished, the owner stopped by to ask if it was our first visit. We told him it was--but certainly not our last. Sukoon is an excellent addition to Denver's dining scene, and I hope more people discover this gem. Highly recommended.

    Sad to see that Sukoon is no longer as I went to check out their hours for dinner tonight. Easily…read morethe best Indian food I have had in the Denver Metro region. Hopefully they will open somewhere else again soon!
