"When Christopher Lin started cooking pig ear salad, General Tso’s eggplant, and trout fried rice on a previously uninspired stretch of Colfax, the surrounding neighborhoods and the rest of Denver took notice. Together with business partners Jen Mattioni and Jon Pinto, Lin is creating the kind of rare place that serves its community and acts as a dining destination — perhaps because the food stirs up memories of those American Chinese restaurants we all grew up eating at, and then deftly moves past them. An energetic and easy-going vibe, an attention to detail in the service and presentation, this is the spot to get to if you haven’t yet and to fall back on when in need of some next-level comfort." - Josie Sexton
