  Great happy hour specials. The bf favorite beer is La Fin Du Mon.. so extra plus that they had it on tap during happy hour! The tofu dish was ok.. not sure if I would order it again but it was tasteful and the flavor was sweet. I usually like my dishes on the salty side.. so I think j just ordered the wrong dish to fit my taste buds.
  
  My bf chicken was actually quite good. Not dry.
  
  Dumplings were absolutely amazing!!!!
  
  If anything, I would come back just for their happy hour specials. Good prices and the food is pretty solid.

  I actually had this restaurant on my list because they were running a Groupon, half off 50 dollars worth of drinks, which was just too good a deal to pass up, even though I didn't really *need* 50 dollars worth of drinks with all the other drinking I was planning on doing in Denver last weekend (being Great American Beer Fest week). So I get there, and was informed that the Groupon was only valid with a party of 4+, even though that isn't listed anywhere on the Groupon, which I told the waitress and asked her to look. She said she would have had to go get her manager, at which point I said it wasn't worth it, and just asked Groupon for a refund (I was kinda ok with it anyway - when I bought it, I hadn't fully thought out just how much drinking I was going to be doing that weekend already, but still, they need a bit better communication about what their Groupons do or don't require, cause I double-checked the fine print, and that was definitely not stated anywhere.)
  
  Anyway, apart from that, really my only major complaint is that their cocktails are very pricey for what you get (why I bought that Groupon!) - I have no problem paying 11 dollars for a cocktail, but the one I tried cause it sounded refreshing, turned out to be literally just a martini-sized glass of sake and yuzu juice. I know yuzu is a comparatively expensive fruit, but still - that doesn't seem like 11 dollars worth.
  
  The food, on the other hand, or at least the dan dan noodle soup I tried, was totally worth it - $14 is a relatively pricey soup, but it was very good soup, very good noodles, rich, filling, flavorful soup with tons of meat and vegetables. I'd totally come back here if I was in Denver, and just get that same soup again probably (I'd just make sure to be back during happy hour next time - when their cocktails are still the same price, but their beer and, more importantly, draft sake are more reasonably priced, at least). And other than the miscommunication about the Groupon, the service was great - though to be fair, I was there at like  7 PM on a Wednesday, and the place was dead. Feels like more of a Friday night sort of place. I did also appreciate the complimentary dessert (some sort of Chinese jello-type thing, I dunno what it's called, but it was enjoyable enough.) I don't know if they give that to everyone, or if it was an apology for the mixup, but it was nice of them either way.

  Stopped by before an event downtown. Food was excellent, not over sauced or salty like so many restaurants. -- Had stir-fry veggies and fried tofu both delicious!!
  
  Staff was very friendly.
  
  Place is clean and prices good.
  
  Sapporo on draft!
  
  Their Happiest Hour is a good deal.
  
  I hope to go back. It's right across from the light rail station near the convention center.

  Wow, I really regret not going here sooner. I decided to hit up the happy hour before getting a LYFT to the airport.  Instead of ordering from the HH menu, I decided to get the rice clay pot. The main menu was different enough and delicious enough for me to go all in an actual meal.
  
  I thought I would be okay on time, but it looked like a 50 min ride to the airport, so I had to request that the food be to go (this is AFTER I already ordered it for dine in). The waitress was very nice and packed the food aling qith a side of their hong kong style chili oil.
  
  I didn't get to dig in until I got to the airport. O.M.G. SO BOMB! The rice was crispy the way it should be in a clay pot, the meats and veggies complemented the crispy rice so well and there was just enough sauce to bring it all together.  
  
  Now, I want to try the Dan Dan noodles, the wings, the fried tofu... seriously, if I could, Id like to keep going back to try everything on the menu.

  We went here for dinner before our show and also have not heard of a Hong Kong bistro, so I wanted to check it out too. The place is very nice and clean. What's funny, is while looking at the menu, my eye caught Yoda in the corner of the restaurant, lol I thought it was definitely funny to have a good size Yoda displayed. Almost, as if he was a god, that was offered everyday for blessings, hehehe Anyways, we placed orders for some fried tofu and dumplings from their HH menu. Then in a bit we placed orders for a dry chicken pot, shrimp vegetable stir fry, and a dan dan ramen soup. The fried tofu and dumplings came out and they were definitely delicious! If you ever order these two apps, take the fried tofu and dip it in the sauce the dumplings are in and it's even more yummy! We enjoyed the appetizers very much. Then our dinner came out. We shared everything, so it was definitely an awesome idea. We asked for extra bowls and spoons to share the ramen soup. We all definitely enjoyed the dan dan soup. Broth is definitely tasty. The dry pot chicken and shrimp stir fry was definitely tasty and flavorful in its own way. That's how you know a restaurant puts effort in their food because the dishes tastes different, not the same sauce poured over everything:P We loved everything here. The only thing I would ask if they would just salt it just a tad less for all the dishes, then perfect. I will come back again to try other dishes.
