Poor food quality. I ordered Kobe beef and chicken lettuce wraps. The quality of the beef was sketchy and it was dry. The chicken had an off taste. I opened one of the two fortune cookies only to be hit with a putrid smell. I looked at the cookie and it had black spots on the inside. I cracked it open and the entire inside had black spots. I compared it to the other cookie and it didn’t have black spots on the inside. At this point I called and spoke to someone and I politely asked for a refund. I was told no refunds which is understandable but I definitely didn’t want any more food from here.

People seem to love this spot but I’m not sure why. They have nothing spicy. I love spicy so probably biased. The ambiance is very nice. The flavors aren’t super deep. They used to have a great bento box for lunch which would have jumped this spot to a 4 but that’s gone now sadly. It’s also not really Chinese or Thai or anything specific. Just a melting pot of general Asian flavors.

I'm fairly new to this neighborhood and was looking for local Pho. It was a little late in the post-COVID world, so much was soon closing for the evening. None of the Pho specific restaurants were near enough and open late enough to be practical for me, so I was delighted to find this place which serves it, and a review of it which said it was their favorite in Denver.
Google maps said they were open until 10, but when I arrived at 930, I was told the dining room was closed, but I could order to go. I live just a block and a half around the corner, so this was fine. I was given my meal in less than 10 minutes and went back home to heat it up.
I was shocked when I opened the container. Where I expected to find raw eye-of-round beef I saw instead some unidentifiable gray matter. I still can't say what the meat was, possibly beef, but possibly pork too. It looked to be about half fat in it's content, whereas eye-of-round is one of the (if not the) leanest cut of beef there is. In addition, whatever this meat was, it was already cooked. The heat of the broth should be what cooks this meal.
Given the hour and the fact that it was here and in front of me, I decided to put it together. Let me elaborate on the rest of the ingredients: the sprouts were brown, far from fresh; the noodles seemed alright; the basil was beginning to have black spots on it; the parsley was completely limp, the leaves disintegrated upon touching them; and two lonely slices of jalapeno.
Putting it all together resulted in something completely inedible. The fatty, gray meat continued to cook down, leaving a layer of grease on the surface. I attempted to fish out the meat to just eat the broth, remembering that very little else was still open as alternative, at that point. I wasn't able to fish it all out, and the broth was just too greasy by then.
Suffice it to say, this was by far the worst Phō I have ever been served. Surprising for a restaurant billing themselves as Asian-Fusion, to stumble so horrifically over what must be one of the simplest dishes to prepare correctly, and when done so, to be very good.

Soooooooo good. Finally ate here tonight after walking by for years and always wanting to try It. The sauce with the crab cheese wontons was a shining star of the meal and so was the Korean barley tea. All of it was 10/10 so good. Quick note, the spice levels are for real!!

I must say I was thoroughly impressed with my dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy décor.
The menu featured a wide range of dishes that blended flavors from different Asian cuisines, and I was excited to try something new. I started with the miso soup, which was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of savory and umami notes.
