Updated review 1: Another great meal here! The spicy cabbage salad was a new dish to me and I really loved it!! My husband really enjoyed the new sweet potato dish. The tuna crudo is always good and a must have as well as the pork shoulder. The drinks melona high ball & dad jokes were delicious! The server was lacking in charisma but it was a busy sat so I'll give her a pass. I was happy to meet the owner Ni, he was so genuine and kind, the hype for this restaurant is well deserved, you can tell this is a labor of love. First review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Came in with my husband for a birthday dinner on a sat night with reservations, we were greeted so kindly and sat promptly. Our server Johnny, was very well informed on the dishes and suggested sake that paired well with our dishes. We had the tuna crudo, corn ribs, tomato toast, fried chicken, pork shoulder, larb tostada and the french fries all of which were amazing! My favs were the crudo, corn ribs and the pork shoulder. The flavors are so bold and satisfying. We also got drinks, the shochu highball and the black mamba and both were so yummy! We loved being able to see the kitchen and the chill vibes of this place. My husband and I can't stop talking about how delicious everything was, we are both dyinggg to come back. Hands down the best restaurant we've been to in Denver.

So glad I finally got to try this place! Brought in a friend from out of town and it was a great place to reconnect. Definitely in both of our top 3 meals we've ever had. Hannah took amazing care of us, and talked to is just enough to be engaging but not overbearing. Absolutely a menu meant to be sampled and eaten together, rather than going at one dish at a time. The spiciness from the eggplant dish broke up the richness from the amazing scrambled egg dish. Can't wait to go back and raid the Saturday morning bakery!

Just want to come on here and rave about this wonderful restaurant. We have eaten here for dinner a few times and as always..amazing. Today was the first time we’ve tried their Saturday morning pastries and all I can say….is GO! Beautiful, delicious nuggets of joy from apple fritters, pecan monkey bread, ox tail hand pies and everything in between…just hands done crazy good! Their team gets massive kudos for making some of the best food in Denver. GO!
