OMG! To be honest, and very honest, this was the BEST service we have ever had. Ever. The server Jen was so kind and attentive, and then the other servers were the same. It was as if they were this team seamlessly working together with each table. One would deliver our food, another would fill our water, then another would take away dirty dishes. It was seamless and fluid, and we were impressed big time! OK now the food! SOOOO GOOD!!! And our most favorite item — the doughnuts. (Still dreaming of those and wish we could get them for breakfast 😅) We got four plates for two people and were very full by the time of the doughnuts. Everything was amazing! BAO BUNS are a must! We’ll be back! We had an amazing time and would suggest ChoLon to anyone visiting DT Denver!

ChoLon is one of our favorite restaurants and we went to celebrate our daughter’s engagement. My husband always say, “When you go to ChoLon, you don’t worry about two things: your calorie count and your pocketbook. The food is always excellent and Joe, our server, was top notch! I feel it’s a little pricey, but for special occasions it’s worth the splurge! I would highly recommend!

Validated parking is no longer offered in spite of it still being advertised. Food was great. Service a little slow. Cholon is sill a solid choice but not the standout it used to be.

We have been going here for years and the food is always amazing as is the service. The restaurant could use a little updating to make it feel as fancy as it used did back in the early days.

ChoLon while highly rated, it still surprised and delighted us. The flavors were so complex and interesting. It worked really well for vegetarian and meat eaters.

We had a table of 4. We ordered apps that were good, but when we ordered two mains, the second dish took forever to come out. It should have been served at the same time as first one. I told server we it should be taken off bill but nothing was done about it. Overall, food is very good but overpriced and portions are not generous for a family style restaurant.

Food was delicious. The soup dumplings are superb... tempted to come back and eat just those for dinner! But then I would miss out on the delicious Bao buns, noodles, calamari, etc. Service was excellent as well - attentive and prompt. Already planning a return!
