    Cashew Chicken

    Fantastic lunch specials, even on Saturdays! Tawan Asian Cafe recently remodeled the space and opened this restaurant on 44th. It is a great addition to the neighborhood. This is a nicely appointed restaurant with plenty of parking and plenty of indoor seating. I love that they have lunch specials on Saturdays. The Beef with Garlic Sauce was wonderful. The crab wontons were nice and crispy. And, there was plenty of egg fried rice to sop up all the garlic sauce. Their party trays look pretty stellar and are well priced. May be letting them do the cooking for the next party at the house!

    I'm still so surprised that this place is not more popular. Every time I need an Asian fix I end up choosing Taiwan. We always greeted with a smile and end up leaving with a smile and so satisfied that it's not too greasy and no msg perfectly seasoned. We usually always get lettuce wraps to start and then stay if we can or get takeout. I love how quiet and peaceful it feels and the manifesting zen I get from the beautiful fish tank.

    We came to Tawan tonight just to see the new restaurant as it formerly was Man Wah restaurant. The food was great! Super tasty, fresh and high quality. The wontons and egg rolls were piping hot and with the right amount of crunch to them. The broccoli and Beef was delicious and fresh. The sesame tofu came out like fluffy cubic, crunchy pillows that had a delicious sesame sauce. Service was nice with a very sweet and timely. Ambiance was fantastic as well! I regret to write about this because our seats were epic! There's a large fish tank with large South American Severum and an Arowana. Such beautiful and healthy looking fish. My family will definitely be back! Give good place a look!

    One of the blandest Chinese meals ever. People were nice and on time. I would rate the spice level extra medium at best.

    Not a fan of the Pho. Chicken had a weird texture. It has changed since we first started going there.

Ma's…read morekitchen next door has a seating format that's a bit more family/group gathering friendly than Ma's kitchen dim sum & bar. Service is always friendly and prompt, and you can order off of both menus regardless of which restaurant you're in. Some of our favorites include the clay pot eggplant, the XO sauce green beans, the Sichuan boiled fish and the black pepper short ribs. Don't sleep on their dim sum offerings, and we also love their soup dumplings (truly some of the best I've had in Denver/Aurora), their pan fried steamed bun and their chili oil dumplings. Whenever we go, it's always a dilemma of not over-ordering, but that's a very small problem to have. Def worth checking out! Their takeout is also very well-packaged and comes in an insulated bag.

    We were so excited to try this place after reading all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, we were…read moreunimpressed. The food wasn't bad, but there are more flavorful dumplings elsewhere in the city. The pepper beef was okay, but came with the smallest serving of rice I've ever gotten from a takeaway. The scallion pancakes are perfectly crispy, but would benefit from a dipping sauce. We also got coconut buns and the coconut rice pudding. I loved that the latter looks like a little bunny! So cute. It wasn't for us though. It mainly tasted of coconut and cream. A bit bland. We also weren't fans of the coconut buns. Maybe they're better hot?

Uncle makes me want to move to Denver! To start the ambiance is really chill and inviting with warm lighting and offers countertop as well as table seating. Our server was amazing and explained the menu well and made some recommendations that did not disappoint. We ordered way to much food but I do not regret that because I got to try so many amazing dishes. Despite ordering so many options they even brought us a chilled tofu dish complimentary (no clue why but not complaining) and it was lovely! We shared the uncle salad (amazing!), thai shrimp, eggplant buns, several different nigiri/aburi nigiri and sashimi and the toro toro and spicy tuna roll. All of the sushi was fresh and had excellent pairing of accompaniments. The only dish that I remember being a miss was the soft shell crab buns. The proportion of bun to interior was off and there was way too much mayo. Everyone got their own ramen which they seemed to love. I ordered the Veggie Khao Soi per our servers recommendation and I am still thinking about it weeks later. It was a curry/ramen mix and had big chunks of trumpet mushrooms in it and the perfect amount of spice that I love. Denverites I am jealous you have Uncle and anyone visiting make sure to add it to your list!

Had one cocktail that was very good. Reminded me of a cherry cola. Service was excellent, people were always at our table, picking up dishes, asking if we needed anything further. Would definitely go back again. We want to try some of the other flavors of Ramen.

    While visiting Denver, my coworkers and I went to ChoLon downtown. It was restaurant week in Denver…read moreso the menu was limited but we still found a lot of items to try out. The chicken soup dumplings, pork potstickers, and the ice cream was all very good! I wasn't such a huge fan of the tufu pork belly noodles. I'm not really a fan of tofu but I didn't really like the noodle dish in general. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and well designed. The wait staff was also very friendly. I would like to come back here and try more items from their regular menu.

    If you've read my reviews before, you already know two things about me. I give honest feedback, and…read moreI cannot stand being served cold food. Lately it feels like a lot of restaurants are charging more while giving less, and it's getting harder to find places that actually care about the customer experience. Unfortunately, this was another one of those experiences. We ordered three side dishes and three drinks, and the bill came out to around $100. Two of the three sides were served cold, the dumplings at least came out hot, but they were pretty mediocre and nothing I'd order again and drinks were extremely over priced. The waitress was fine, no real issues there, but it did feel like the food may have been sitting in the kitchen too long before it hit the table even though the place was empty. At the end of the day, it's hard to justify paying that kind of money for cold, underwhelming food, then feeling awkward about the tip because the experience just wasn't good. I won't be back. If I had known this is what the experience was I would have definitely gone somewhere else. As an added bonus I felt like crap afterwords, I think it was because of poor quality ingredients. My aim in writing these reviews is to highlight the restaurants and businesses that truly take care of their customers, to give people a heads up about the ones that clearly do not prioritize quality or the customer experience, and to express myself in a world where it often feels like there is very little room to speak honestly about paying top dollar for mediocre experiences. Very disappointing.
