This place was so good, i wanted to try something different and this hit home! It gave me such good comfort food vibes! I went with the tornado fried rice, delicious! The sauce that surrounded the rich is so flavorful. I've gotta come back to try the wings and some of the plates they have. Service was also outstanding, I called in an order and it was ready in 10 minutes. Super friendly and fast! read more

Had one of the Korean wings take out and it was delicious. The service was fast. It's a small cozy place with a few tables. Will go back to try other menu items. ** recommend read more

Ok, the minus one star is just me being petty. They took away my cold soba noodles with tempura shrimp. RIGHT when we're about tk start our hot summer? A mistake? Apparently not. They upgraded their menu to add a hearty chicken sandwich, a couple of rice bowls and ramen. Now, I COULD have ordered any of the new items, but I love my pork cutlet. $19 and you get SO much food. Manuel in the front making sure every customer is happy. And I mean EVERY. All the tables that were occupied were tended to well. He likes his sauce with a little food on the side so he'll ask you if you need any sauce refills very diligently. JD in the back pumpin' out fresh food to order. Manual also recommended the new wing flavors and ONLY to order the chicken sandwich if you're ready for a lot of food. Don't get too upset with the gratuity already being added to your final bill; I can tell you, these people deserve it. read more

The Pork Let - #1 Katsu - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I've been non-stop thinking about this amazing Katsu set I had in Honolulu and was hoping to find something similar in Denver. Several recommendations led me to The Pork Let. It is located in a strip mall next to a GW Supermarket and several other asian restaurants. It is an order first at the counter then sit down type of restaurant. There is a self serve station including water, utensils, and napkins. You also clear your own plates after eating. I ordered the Porklet (pork loin cutlet) and my husband got the Cheeselet ( mozzarella cheese inside a pork cutlet). The Porklet had a decent amount of meat inside and it was tender and seasoned well. The Cheeselet had a considerable amount of cheese. I thought it would be like a sprinkle of melty cheese but you could actually do a cheese pull with this. Both items included a bowl of white rice - super fluffy -, miso soup, and katsu dipping sauce. We could also get refills of the rice and miso soup. I enjoyed my meal at The Pork Let and had enough for lunch leftovers the next day. It's no Honolulu Katsu but satisfied my cravings enough. I will note that gratuity is included automatically before the cashier shows the final price and shows the tip screen before you pay with a card. If you don't catch this, you may double tip. I only noticed because after food items were added, the total jumped up almost $10. I don't mind an automatically added gratuity but I would like to be told upfront about this. read more

This was such a nice experience. Open restaurant seating, area to order through a digital screen, and friendly service. The restaurant logo was neat too! We were told that the owner name is in the spikes of the hedgehog. We had ordered several different dishes to try out and they were still good for some take home reheating. The tornado fried rice with Spam was good. The fried rice had a good season flavor with small pieces of spam. The tomato based sauce surrounding the egg fried rice added a nice creamy flavor to the rice dish. Ordered a half/half as well with a fried chicken and cheeselet. Chicken was crunchy outside and tender inside. Delicious with the dipping sauce. The cheeselet mozzarella was gooey inside a crunchy pork breading. All tasted great. The side with the corn and slaw was ok...didn't care much for it. In parallel, we ordered side of garlic wings. The wings were perfect to the crisp, but definitely lacking flavor. Couldn't tell what flavor it was trying to go for. Overall, it's a great place to try out cheeselet and experience a tornado fried rice. Plenty of options for a group too! read more

Food was pretty solid here, clean space and the staff working were very friendly! Tried the tornado rice and the "cheeselet" and both were very comforting/satisfying dishes. A tad bit pricey for what it was, but tasty nonetheless. The sauce on the tornado rice really upped the entire dish. As for the cheeselet, very scrumptious but I wish they had other sides instead of just the Mac salad and cabbage with mayo, both of which just made the dish feel a bit heavy as a whole. The miso soup was also just a tad bland for my taste. Overall very good though, would come back for another quick fix! read more

This place is mainly for takeout since the inside is pretty basic. That said...the food here is best served fresh and not takeout! I got the porklet and it was a ton of food for the price! It was perfectly cooked and even came with a side of rice and miso soup! My wife got the Udon and I highly recommend ppl stay with the porklet, chicken let, or cheeselet as that's their specialty. read more

The Pork Let - Pork and chicken - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Came here for lunch one day during our trip to Colorado and it was one of our favorite meals! The restaurant was very clean upon entry. The menu was easy to read. We got some fried chicken and udon, also got the porklet, half cheeselet but I didn't get a photo. All the dishes were really tasty. The pork was fried perfectly with a beautiful crisp bite and not too heavy. The chicken was also fried perfectly and the batter was too thick so you really get the chicken as you eat them. Chicken was also very juicy and tender so I was able to give some to my baby to try too. Udon was very light and creamy so you didn't feel too full after eating it. We enjoyed everything we got. The lady who was working in the front was very nice. She came to check in with us occasionally to see if we need anything. We really enjoyed our visit and definitely recommended it to our friends who actually live in Colorado to check this place out when they need a meal idea haha. read more

The food was fantastic and delicious. The tornado fried rice with gravy stole the show with bacon and spam added. The gooey cheese was awesome as well. The crispy sweet chili wings just melted In my mouth. We ordered a lot of food and was supposed to have left overs. But that was whole lot of no and it was so delicious. The service was great the owner and cook was great. They were having some technical problems. But the ambiance was great for us because we ordered online. read more

Tried the Pork Let and Tornado Fried Rice. Both were awesome! The pork cutlet was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the sauce tied everything together perfectly. The tornado fried rice was great as well. Great combination by adding spam and bacon into the fried rice. Cozy spot with solid portions and quick service. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving katsu in the Denver area read more

I can't wait to come back and try the pork cutlets as they all looked really good especially the cheese filled one my friend ordered. I, on the other hand, could not NOT get the Tornado Fried Rice. It's fried rice in an omelette! But not American style omelette. The egg wrap was done so delicately it's all wrinkled up due to how thin it is. Almost like a crepe. The fried rice inside was pretty tasty too. Nothing can go wrong with their sauces. I don't even care if this is Japanese or Korean, just get it, so yummy and worth it! If you have toddlers, watch their back though as the chairs here are just stools without any back. My friend's son leaned backwards and fell. Nothing a few yummy fried dumplings can't fix though. read more

Brought to you by the adventures of CHEF BIG HOUSE !!! ‍As a culinary expert, I found the mozzarella cheese wrapped in a pork cutlet to be quite satisfying, with the Panko crust adding a delightful crunch. The accompanying shredded cabbage and dressing were also enjoyable. The miso soup met expectations. Notably, refills were offered for all side dishes. The tornado egg over fried rice was impressive, particularly with the option to choose bacon instead of spam. The presentation was exceptional. I would rate this establishment 4 out of 5, with the only suggestion being a slight enhancement of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, and the service was prompt, although only bottled drinks were available. with no option of fresh ice for drinks only a cold water from fountain. read more

The Pork Let - Shrimp Tempura (4pcs) Burritos - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Cute spot in Aurora that made a "top places to eat" Yelp list in 2023, so obviously I had to check it out. I came here on my way to work an event. Loved the fast and friendly service. Decent amount of seating inside, and plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Got the Tornado Rice as recommended by many others. It was sweeter than I thought, but it was a lot of food. Had to take home my leftovers. Fantastic miso soup on the side. Would come here again, probably not out of my way, but it was a positive experience overall! read more

The Pork Let - Option C. - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Oh my God I cannot believe how much I love everything I've tried at The Porklet and I've tried a lot. I've been twice and between the two visits my wife and I shared Half Cheeselet half chicklet, Cream udon with sausage, Tornado fried rice with spam and bacon, Sweet potato rolls, miso soup, Mac salad, Korean sweet chili wings, and Soju. Of them all, I'd say you absolutely have to try the cheeselet, tornado fried rice, and the Mac salad. As for the service, both times I've been the receptionist has been kind and happy to help us figure out what to order. As for the ambiance, it doesn't get more casual than The Porklet. It's just an open room with several 4 person tables. It's self clean up, so remember to clean your table before you leave. read more

Very affordable fast casual Korean food alongside other Asian restaurants. We stopped here on a Friday night and there were tables available so that was a nice surprise. You order at the counter then sit down and they bring the food to you. It's optimal for sharing as we did and they have Korean goodies like chicken wings, kimchi (warning, it's only a few bites in a small cup so if you want to get your probiotic on!) along with some Japanese fare like takoyaki (one of my faves if the night!) We got the tornado rice and it was pretty lackluster but looked really cool so if you're eating here for the tik tok, go for it. The wings were huge and delicious so I would come back for them alone. All in all, a great place for Korean on the cheap or with people who want to venture into Korean food! read more

We've lived in Denver for about 5 months now and so far this is my favorite restaurant. Between multiple visits, I've tried: - Tornado Fried Rice with Spam and Bacon - Cheeselet and Chicklet combo - Cream Udon - Sweet Potato Rolls - Creamy Dduk Bokki - Korean Sweet Chili Wings - Macaroni Salad You really can't go wrong here, everything is great. My must try dishes are the Tornado Fried Rice, the Cheeselet, the Sweet Potato Rolls, and the Macaroni Salad. The sauce on the fried rice is addicting. I wouldn't normally order fried rice, but this is no ordinary rice. The sweet potato is a Japanese sweet potato and it's fantastic. Katsu is always one of my favorite dishes and putting cheese in it really just sets it over the edge. Get a full size side of macaroni salad, the small one isn't enough. This place is nowhere near where I live, but I'll definitely be back because the food is worth a long drive. read more

I will be back. Came for lunch with a friend and shared the sweet potato rolls, it's hard to describe the experience but they were very good. We also each got the Porklet meal, it's a generous helping of food that we could have shared. Personally I am not a fan of miso soup in general so I asked them to leave it off my order but I loved everything else that I tried. The crust on the porklet was nice and crispy but still very light. The cabbage salad was very finely sliced and had a great crunch, the dressing is sweet but a nice complement for the cabbage. The macaroni salad is one of the better ones I've had and you can ask for additional sides if needed. Overall great experience, wonderful staff, and we will be back to try more things. read more

AWESOME WINGS. I've been here several times and tried different items, but the wings (Soy Garlic, specifically) are what I think is the best! Basically, all their fried food is really good. The Fried rice is pretty, but not a fan of the sweet gravy. The porklets are good, but can be a bit soggy from all the sauce. The fries are crunchy and come out piping hot, but personally not a fan of any of the ones with cheese because it adds more saltiness than cheesiness. Good small place with small amount of seating. Free water is available, and they have a kiosk for self-orders. Overall, I like this place and will keep coming back for the WINGS! read more

Ok, how could I not rave about this place?! It's easy to find Asian inspired restaurants in Denver. But it's more like a Japanese place that also sells Thai curry, but then also pho. I'm over the crab rangoons and the overpriced spring rolls. Nothing superb and normally just meh. In this case, @the_pork.let didn't let us down and the crunchy panko cream crumbs were so good! Sauce was perfect. It even came with a light cabbage salad and mac salad. Just like Hawaii. You gotta try this place for legit katsu. *crunch crunch* read more

A wonderful bright and cheery place with awesome staff and equally amazing food! This is a very affordable and fast casual Korean joint but also offers some Japanese dishes like takoyaki!

We've stopped by Pork Let twice now and have had good experiences both times! The staff there is super friendly and you have the option to order at the counter with them or on the electronic kiosk. We tried the pork and chicken katsus and really enjoyed both! The katsu sauce was a bit richer and heavier than we were used to. The tornado fried rice is gorgeous as well. However, when our takoyaki came out, we noticed a hair on the food. Our server was extremely apologetic and brought us a fresh plate. Not the biggest deal. Overall, Pork Let is a great casual spot in Aurora to check out! read more

On a very cold day, my friends and me were next door fulfilling our boba addiction. After a few sips of boba, we realized we had an appetite, as it was during lunchtime, which brought us to this casual hidden gem. One of my friends introduced us to this one-man team establishment with a variety of items on the menu. They are hiring, if you were wondering. We ordered chicken wings, udon, and sweet potato rolls. You have to order the sweet potato rolls. With that being said, never liked sweet potatoes until those rolls. It has been said three times, so order them. Fried dishes are crunchy and moist. Hands down, the all-time best katsu in the state of Colorado; only took me a year to find a katsu restaurant that is favorable. Shout out to the owner for being the hostess, cashier, cook, busboy, janitor who is all the above. read more

This place is unassuming, as it's located next to the Pacific Ocean/GW asian grocery store. But it's so delicious and packed with flavor! We ordered the chicken cutlet, which came with a side of sauce, cabbage salad, macaroni salad, some pickles, white steamed rice, and miso soup. The crispiness of the chicken was so satisfying, and despite being fried it was light and fluffy. Make sure to drizzle the katsu sauce all over it for extra deep savory flavor! The sides all really brought out a balanced meal. Each individual side really played it's role and was yummy! The tornado fried rice was good and very flavorful! It's an omelet delicately swirled around a mound of fried rice, encircled by a moat of gravy. The gravy is a little too overpowering for my preference but it was still really tasty. The Korean fried chicken was so crispy and the sauce was amazing! I preferred the honey butter wings more than the traditional Korean fried chicken flavor because I love the sweetness but I am glad we ordered both so we could balance out the sweet and spicy flavors. Great place to eat! read more

The Pork Let - Porklet Bowl, miso soup, macaroni salad. - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I loveeeee this place! This place is great for a quick lunch because it's more similar to a fast food restaurant in the sense that you can order your food at the register or at a machine and then it's brought out to you once its ready. When you're done just bring the plates and bowls to the self clean-up area. Very casual dining with food that is on par, if not better, than a sit down restaurant. Friendly staff and quick service. The pork katsu was very light and crispy. Even though it was fried, it didn't feel very heavy. The sauce on top was also very flavorful... a bit on the saltier side for me, but it may be because I am more sensitive to salt. The cabbage slaw was super light and the cabbage was sliced paper thin. I could have had a whole bowl of this. 10/10 The tornado fried rice was really good as well! Came out steaming!! The egg was cook perfectly and the fried rice had a good bite to it. Everything was very well balanced. I would 100% recommend this place and I am excited to come back and try their other dishes. Also everything was very reasonably priced. read more

When you're here, you have to order katsu. We ordered the cheese Mateus because it was the most photographed item on the menu - after the fried rice. We read there were only four pieces of katsu so we ordered our own plate and fried chicken to share. There was a machine where you can place your an order so a place for introverts as well. At first, we thought the price for four katsu was expensive but it's actually a lot of food and you do get full. It comes with a salad, a pasta salad, and rice. The cheese katsu tastes really delicious at first. The cheese was hot and just melts off. However, if you're a slow eater or eating with company so you're talking, the cheese on the katsu does harden and the melt affect is gone. So if you're not eating alone, I would suggest ordering one toe share or one without cheese. The fried chicken was really delicious and does not get enough love. I think it tastes better than the katsu. But the chicken was crunchy and flavorful. The sauce didn't make the chicken soggy. read more

The skinny: What a gem of a place. Delicious fast casual korean food with the best cream dduk boki ever. The food: First things first. Do yourself a favor and get the creamy dduk boki. It is hands down the best one I've had. The sauce is amazing and made us want to savor it and use it to dip everything in afterwards just because it was so delicious. We went back and had the regular dduk boki as well which was solid but not quite as good. Another great item was the korean fried chicken - crispy, flavorful and juicy. We ended up having the creamy udon, takoyaki, and tornado fried rice as well. These were all decent as well. The place: Small little order at the counter shop. Casual fast location perfect for a quick bite. Friendly cashiers and fast preparation. They even have some alcohol (beer & soju) Would I come back: Yes!
