ChoLon Modern Asian

Cholon is another popular downtown spot duplicated in the Denver Airport - is a rare airport dining gem. The food is creative, flavorful, and far above typical terminal fare. The standout are the signature French Onion Soup Dumplings—unique and comforting. The edamame is indescribable and the tamarind sauce balances out the bold flavor. Service is quick and hit or miss - better at the bar, and the atmosphere feels calm and polished, even amid airport chaos. Whether you’re on a layover or heading out of town, Cholon is absolutely worth the walk to the end of Terminal C.

I’m still chasing that soup dumpling high. That moment where there is an unexpected eruption in your mouth, and you are filled with warm comforting goodness. The airport location is a facsimile of the original but for an airport it’s amazing. The cocktails are fun exciting and unique. The staff represents the brand well as artisans of their craft.

I had a longer layover so decided to sit down and relax before going to my gate at Denver Airport. I ordered Chicken and Vegetable Lo Mein. It was really good and the flavor was yummy. There were a lot of veggies, a few pieces of chicken and some noodles. I would have loved to give 5 stars, but when you pay $7.00 more to add a protein to the already $23.00 charge just for the Vegetable Lo Mein, and you got maybe 7-8 small pieces of chicken and hardly any noodles, it doesn't warrant 5 stars. If you don't mind pricey then give it a try. Even with the amount of noodles and chicken you won't be disappointed.

I’m always skeptical of high prices. Is this going to be a mediocre meal with jacked up prices? The answer is a definitive No at Cholon in Concourse C at DIA. The Pad Thai serving was big - I couldn’t finish. I added chicken - and it was real chicken not this crappy mushy strips, and there was chicken throughout not just a few pieces on top. Lots of bean sprouts and green onions. Really really good. Worth the price. I am now ready for my journey.
