Cho77

It’s our first time visiting Denver and looking at the name of the restaurant, we thought we could get some authentic vietnamese/asian food right in the downtown of Denver. We were so wrong. Dimsum dishes were served in very small portions (2 pcs/dish). This is not the way we expected to have dimsum food (normally 8-10 pcs per dish). We ordered General Cho Soup Dumpling, Pho Bao Buns, Mapo tofu, and Dan dan noodle. The dumpling was good but the starch wall was a little bit too thick. My wife’s mapo tofu was too sour and spicy, not enough sweetness. My Dan dan was good but definitely not the traditional Dandan I used to have. We also ordered coffee and Thai tea, the thai tea was so bland. The service was good, our waiter, Joseph, was very helpful the entire time we were there.

Unbelievable! I travel for work and one of the perks is being able to find local gems to try. I enjoy going in and having my server pick their favorite item off the menu for me. That approach did not disappoint today! I had the shrimp and pork shu mai, "General Cho's" soup dumpling, and the stir fried shrimp lo mein. While everything was delicious, the soup dumplings were, by far, my favorite. The location is small and at the time, I had the whole place to myself. The staff is very friendly and make great choices! Definitely worth a trip to try the other dumplings on the menu.

stoked Cho77 made its way to LoDo. we came in for restaurant week and tried 3/4 of the menu. everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. hands down best part was the soup dumpling and the kaya bread pudding. you won’t believe the flavor profile. outstanding. we will definitely be coming back!

Cho77 is a must! From the same owners of ChoLon, Cho77 is absolutely scrumptious! The place is cozy with a lot of energy! The drinks are delicious, the Bahn mi buns, wontons, cheeseburger whimsical, pork Lo mien, and green curry were so amazing delectable! The service was fast and friendly and the entire vibe is fun. This will become my new staple for delicious cuisine!

Extremely Disappointing As other people have mentioned in their reviews, my experience was a huge bummer. The S. Broadway location was one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I used to dream about their Thai Coconut Curry as it was one of my top 3 favorite dishes in Denver. When I heard they were opening one downtown, steps from where I work, I couldn't have been more excited. Sadly, it seems when they moved they lost their identity and what they did well. I've been twice now and I think will struggle to convince myself to go back. My first visit I HAD to get the coconut curry. The dish was fine, but I couldn't help from being disappointed in the presentation as well as the taste. They have changed the meat from chicken to beef (not sure why.) I subbed for chicken thinking it would be the same kind they used at S. Broadway but it turned out to be a grilled piece of chicken that gave the dish a much too smoky and grill kind of flavor. The sauce is the star and the chicken overpowered it by far. They also removed the pickled vegetables that used to come with the dish that were a great vinegary contrast to the curry, why take them out? When I was leaving I noticed that had Xiao Long Bao on the menu (my weakness when it comes to Asian food.) I used to be able to go to Lao Wang Noodle house (by far the best soup dumplings and potstickers you can find, it's amazing) for lunch but now that I work downtown I was excited to give Cho77 another chance to shine and satisfy my craving. The execution on the soup dumpling was so poor and so overpriced they should be charged with robbery. You get 4 for $12! At Lao Wang you get 10 of the best handmade soup dumplings for $12. $3 each for a 1 bite Xiao Long Bao is INSANE. Not to mention the texture of the noodle and the filling were nowhere near authentic enough. When it comes in those little foil cups, you know you're in for a bad time. The person who took my order also told me the salad was a decent size. I walked out of the door paying $25 for both the dishes you see below and almost walked into Chipotle to get a burrito so I wouldn't be hungry an hour from when I left. Cho77, what happened?? Why change things you do so well and try to make it something different? I would specifically come back if the Thai Curry was made the old way, but not sure if that is going to happen. The S. Broadway location was such an awesome place to eat great and get a little buzz off of Beer Lao and saki, now, it's a quick lunch place that doesn't provide a wow through the food anymore.

I have to say, I was Cho77's biggest fan when they were still located on South Colorado and had a more extensive happy hour menu- I had some absolutely incredible food. The menu they have at the new location is still tasty, but it's a much smaller menu. I would still recommend giving this place a go if you want to figure out where to try and park in this area.

Its a modern take on vietnamese food. The restaurant is clean and very classy. The staff are nice and friendly. I ordered a spicy beef pho and it was great. Real delicious food.

I have been once. Wont likely be back. It is a cool room and interesting concept. But my happy hour visit want less than ideal. First, it took 5 minutes in an empty room to get the waiter's attention. We ordered four things, 40 minutes later, we had two. When I went to the counter to pay, she tried to charge us for a different check. Then, apparently, spaced happy hour pricing. I dunno. Somehow a beer and fountain drink cost 12. Oh, and I sat there and watched the person prepping food snacking while they made food. Um. Look, I get it that some nights are not the best nights for a place. But I saw at least two people that looked like managers. Makes me think that this side project for the place next door is just a second class establishment. Just not worth it. Oh, and no vegetarian options on the HH menu. These days, that is just lazy. If you ask me, find another place until they take this concept seriously.
