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.

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!

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.

The food was quite delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes from pig intestines to beef noodle soup to clay pot rice. The food was all very tasty - can't complain.

Not sure if we will go again, thought it was a good option to meet people in that area but not when you have to yell and barely get service. (especially for the price)

Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.
