How to book: DAYS for prime weekend times — reserve ahead. Confirm current hours on the official site.
Best meal: Dinner — the modern Chinese plates shared across the table with a cocktail or natural wine are the draw.
Who it’s NOT for: Diners wanting classic takeout-style American-Chinese — this is a modern, refined, chef-driven take. Budget diners — it's a mid-to-upscale price point. Anyone wanting a bright, quiet family room — it's a dim, stylish, buzzy adults-leaning space. Travelers who won't leave downtown — it's in RiNo, a short hop from LoDo.
