   Great food and service. A bit crowded and loud for dinner time conversation, but maybe I'm getting old!

   We met another couple for dinner at 7pm on a Friday evening. Our waitress was so lackluster, I would never want to be waited on by her again. She was rushed, rarely checked in on us, took way too long to process the check and was generally, Meh. Food was okay - nothing to get too excited. Server requires we order our entire meal and once, assuring us the kitchen would time our food to ensure it didn’t all come at once. We received dishes in spurts, that didn’t match the pace of our dining. This resulted in one course dropping when at least half of the prior course was still on the table. With the tiny table we were at, it forced us to rush through parts of the meal to clear space. Not the quality of service or food to match the former reputation of this restaurant. Time for a tune up.

   We went for my friends birthday and the food and cocktails were amazing. We tried all of the appetizer dumplings and shared a few other appetizers and a large plate. It is pretty pricey for small servings and Asian food but they use really great flavors and pretty high quality Wagyu beef.

   The food is good, but compared to most restaurants in the Denver area, there gluten free options are severely lacking. The noise level is also quite high if you want to enjoy conversation.

   We came here for my birthday. We asked what kind of veggies were in the “Jade Green Stir Fry” & decided not to order it because we were told it was bok choy. Clearly, they thought we didn’t know the difference between bok choy and Chinese Broccoli when it was substituted in the Wayu Flatiron steak dish. There’s also a clear difference between rice cake and white rice which was offered when they ran out of rice cake. The steak was chewy. The Malaysian noodle were my favorite, but it was served extremely hot where the entire dish was ruined. Both my friends felt the same and when I told my waiter; his response was the dish has a bit of a kick. He was not rude, but overall the quality of food is not consistent and has drastically gone down like most places after Covid-19.

    The food was very tasty, but the restaurant was not well suited for a business dinner as it was very noisy. They were also understaffed and we only saw our waiter once over a 45 minute timeframe, and no one came by to refill water glasses, which was needed because the food was quite spicy.

    I took the Fried Rice as main course. I was surprised by the excessive acidity of the dish due to either too many pickles or to much vinegar. The service was good. On a side note, they charge $1.02 as "service charge" which was introduced during COVID time to help the staff in the kitchen. We can no longer pretend that the restaurants are still impacted by COVID today, it is unfortunate that this restaurant still gleans this money.

    Pretty good food - the small bites were generally better than small and large plates we had. Expensive, $30 for four dumplings, for example. Service was slow - 30 minutes between our small bites and the small/large plates being served.

    Overall the food, ambiance, and service were good. I was disappointed that the server brought the check before we asked for it. We most likely would have ordered another drink. We also didn't get the bday candle I had requested on the reservation notes. I got a response from the restaurant confirming the birthday dessert and it still didn't come. I had to approach the server to ask for something to come out, which was obvious to my guest and something I was trying to avoid. The server said she would order something, but it took an additional 25 minutes to come out. My other guest went to find the waiter and ask about the bday candle again stating it had taken awhile, and the server responded to her a bit snarky saying, "yes it does take a while." As we left I, approached the host stand to ask if I had to pay for the dessert. The server came up and said it was on the house. I guess that is what should be expected however considering the mix up and the time it took to receive it. I would have given the review 5 stars had what started as a good experience not end on such a sour note.

    The food was kind of a letdown. Even the soup dumplings, which are usually great, were kind of bland. The salmon was bland too. Potstickers were nothing special. Brussels sprouts were very good but the portion size was bizarrely small. And for the prices - it wasn’t a great value.

    There is no contesting the excellence of the menu at Cholon. However, the service from start to finish was sub-par. Our table was not ready for 20 minutes with a confirmed reservation. No apologies, just an expectation to wait. We were told to wait in the bar. We ended up standing in the bar as my son, a minor, was with us, and there were no seats other than at the bar itself. We ended up in the middle of the staff runway and kept being in the way. After standing by the bar for several minutes with no acknowledgment from the bartenders, I asked for a wine menu. I was told to see the host for one (why does the bartender not have a wine menu on hand?). The host was not at the host stand, so there was no wine menu to be found until the bartender felt guilty(?) and went to grab one. Once seated, it took another 10 minutes to be approached by our lackluster and uninterested server. We asked our server for guidance on menu items; she delivered a rote unenticing, and unhelpful response. Our ordered items were delivered by food runners who we could not hear over the dining room din. We enjoyed the food. After waiting 20 minutes to be cashed out as the server left our credit card unnoticed, we left, and we walked directly by the manager (?) and our server. Neither one acknowledged our departure. No "thank you" or "have a good night." We will not be back to Cholon any time soon due to our service experience.

    We went on New Year’s Eve. The food was outstanding. But the noise level was close to intolerable. We and the table next to us asked to lower the music volume, which they did. And then by the time our dinner arrived, the music level had been turned back up so that you struggled to communicate with your dining partner.

    The food was good; however, the service was lacking. We watched the other couple eat dinner and then our dinner was served. We were told, by the waiter that the food was made to share, family style. The portions were really small. Either we were ripped off and they served small plates and charged us for large plates, or the waiter was incorrect. Overall, not a good experience.

    My daughters and I were very excited to eat here & heard wonderful reviews but we very disappointed. Maybe it was just a one time thing but we were not impressed at all. Our server was unfriendly and not attentive. It was not crowded at all because our reservation was at 2:00 pm so maybe she was just having a bad day? The dumplings were good but not amazing, the Korean Chicken sliders were good but there wasn't much chicken, and the miso glazed salmon was very fishy. My dad is in the seafood business so I definitely know good seafood and that salmon was barely edible. The best thing we had was the stir fry which was maybe an 8 out of 10. I guess we just expected more. I never write bad reviews but I'm hoping if someone from ChoLan reads this, they will try to make the food just as good at 2:00 pm as they do at 8:00 pm.

    As always, the bao buns, Brussels, onion soup dumplings and toast were very good. The salmon was delish! Our only complaint is that the steak, and the steak in the Brussels, was tough. The music was very loud; makes for an energetic vibe but makes it difficult to hear others.
