Coming from NYC, "fine dining " in other cities can often mean a waste of $$, but at ChoLon, fresh flavors, inventive recipes, & creative platings=a Denver standout. Shrimp spring roll was v memorable!

Alexander Henn

You will get excellent main dishes (Wagyu chow fun ) and my whiskey & dash dessert was also excellent. A positive surprise for Denver. You can taste the quality and the love they put in every dish.

The kaya toast was delicious & unique! Willing to make accommodations & recommendations for vegetarians . Great drinks. Bummed the soup dumplings weren't vegetarian (beef broth ). Overall a great dinner

Probably one of the best Asian restaurants . Really good food, even for vegetarians . Do not forget Kaya toast . Amazing.

Juan Hernandez

Really good, and I mean really, really good Asian food ! The Pork Belly Buns are worth the trip from NJ. Other standouts: Potstickers and stir fried Malaysian noodles

Soup dumplings are a Revelation, but everything here is amazing. Order one of everything and get ready to eat

CITY GRIT

This is one of our favorite spots! We’re addicted to the Soup Dumplings , Bacon Fried Rice , Brussels Sprouts , & the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich .

Alex Kasemir

Honestly one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten yet. Get the French onion dumplings , and order mostly small plates for deliciousness

Whitney Dierks

Best food I have eaten in a long time. Crab roll sauce was amazing, would definitely get those over and over and over. Brussel sprouts were also amazing.

The tips on Foursquare and Yelp did not disappoint. The Brussels sprouts were TO DIE FOR and the dumplings were DIVINE! Btw get the donuts w coffee ice cream for dessert .

Tyler Burgett

The soup dumplings are excellent, not the normal sort of soup dumplings , but tasty none the less.

Cannot leave here without trying the brussel sprouts .. Even if you don't like brussel sprouts . The little delicious pork in the bottom of your bowl will blow your mind.

Fabulous place for Asian Food . Get the Barmans Choice, Soup Dumplings , Calamari , and Mussels on the menu. You'd be happy.

The kaya toast is the perfect way to enjoy an appetizer . The sauce's low density belies its richness.

Everything was delicious! Be sure to let the soup dumplings cool down, they are a burst of flavors!

We really enjoyed several small plates and sharing a large plate so that we had plenty of room for dessert !

Service is a bit slow at lunch , but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Try the Pho .
