Joy Lounge 玖壹館 at Chilgogi

If you are around the area and are hungry for some Chinese traditional breakfast, head to Joy Lounge, which is located in the Chilgogi Restaurant on Arapahoe Road. When you look at the menu, it’s listed in mandarin and English. However, you don’t see photos of the food items, you are not sure what you are ordering, so my suggestion is to pull up their website and look at the photos. There, you can see what each item looks like. My combination #1 consists of the pepper bun filled with meat, the youtiao, and instead of getting soy milk that is included with the combo meal, I upgraded to the soft tofu. I also ordered a soft boiled egg. The youtiao was really good, so eat it while they are hot. The egg was nothing special, so I won’t get it next. What I enjoyed eating were the pepper pork bun and the soft tofu. Biting into the bun with the seasoned ground pork reminded me of eating at a dim sum place, but better. The quality of this item was exceptionally good. Juice from the meat dipped on my hand. Very filling too. I divided my tofu by making it savory and sweet. Although I enjoyed eating the savory option, the ginger-sugar syrup is how I would end my meal at a dim sum place. The constant flow of people coming and going here makes the place busy. However, plenty of seats for those who want to dine in, and fast service for those who just want to order to go. Plenty of light, nice decorations, and the place is very clean. Workers are constantly busy wiping down the tables, sweeping the floor, and making this eatery a great place to have a meal with family or meeting up with friends to catch up what’s happening.

If you are wanting some Chinese breakfast then coming here would be a good choice. They have delicious food here. It is called Joy Lounge during the weekend from 8AM-12PM. The pepper bun is delicious. If you are looking with flavor similar to in Taiwan and China it is close

If you’re looking for a true taste of a traditional Chinese breakfast, this spot is a hidden gem. You tiao (fried dough stick) is perfectly golden, crisp on the outside, and airy inside. Paired with their dou jiang (soy milk); breakfast bliss. The rice rolls are another standout: soft, slightly chewy, and wrapped with fillings like pork floss, or pickled veggies. Everything tastes homemade and balanced—not overly salty, just really comforting. I think they recently added pepper bao zhi (steamed buns with pork inside). Nice strong pepper taste but not overpowering. Very yummy My personal favorite was the relatively simple soft tofu bowl; adding some green onion and spicy sauce makes this sooooo good. Service is quick, prices are super reasonable, and the vibe is casual. If you're craving some Chinese breakfast nostalgia, this place delivers.

Food was phenomenal—the best youtiao you can find in the United States. We ordered the youtiao, soymilk/soft tofu pudding, sweet jianbing, and rice roll. Youtiao was crisp on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside. The jianbing had a rose jam filling which was not too sweet but very aromatic and the pastry was deliciously flaky. The soymilk/soft tofu pudding can be customized to your liking with their toppings bar by adding sugar, salt/soy sauce, pickled vegetables, or the house made ginger syrup. And the rice roll made for a wonderful conclusion with grains of rice that didn’t mush together with a youtiao on the inside. Staff was very friendly and helpful, giving us samples of both sweet and salty jianbing to try before we ordered. The location is a bit difficult to find if you don’t know that it’s located inside the Chilgogi—they could benefit from putting up a sign on the outside of the building!

I love this breakfast place. Assuming this is a ghost restaurant, this place is quiet and clean, and the owner is very friendly. The place is located inside of Chigogi restaurant. The menu items are not all that much, but the food is very delicious. I had a bowl of soy milk (warm and unsweetened), a 燒餅油條，a 飯糰 and an egg tart(蒸蛋）. 燒餅is soft and full of sesame and green onion aroma. They use purple rice to make飯糰. Compared to other American breakfast restaurants, the price is average. The amount of food is just right for Asians. Would love to visit over and over. The restaurant only opens on Saturdays and Sundays from 8-12.

It is a share business premises. This breakfast Nook only opens weekend 8-12. The You Tiau (fried fritters) are the best served hot everytime. The soymilk and bean curd are all freshly made. They even have a new item egg custard 🍮 which has this awesome savory taste. Few breakfast items but truly satisfying for the authentic breakfast experience.

This breakfast place is so authentic. The youtiao tastes the same as the ones I had when I was a kid in the morning markets in China, much much better than the ones I had in nyc actually. Soy milk is also just right, not too thick or too light. Shaobing is also excellent. The grandmas and grandpas all super nice and seem like retired ppl trying to make use of time, so cute. The egg dish is so soft and tasty too.

Great spot for classic Chinese breakfast! Youtiao was warm and delicious! Egg custard and tofu also very good.

Joy Lounge was a very yummy breakfast! I got youtiao and soy milk. The soy milk only came hot. The youtiao was very yummy. It's located in a strip mall and is slightly hard to find. Owners are very nice! There is plenty of seating and parking available!

Quick, friendly, AUTHENTIC, and delicious. Located inside of chilgogi, and only open on weekend mornings. I sometimes find myself asking, "how many days until the weekend is here?" for the breakfast. Might be average to lower end of average if in Asia, but this is really high for America. If you want access to better, then make a trip to Asia. My current obsession is the savory rice rolls. A thin layer of purple rice wrapped around a fried bread, pork floss, seasoning, and chopped crunchy pickled veggies. They also make perfectly prepared soy eggs. And the soy milk is also super delicious here. I strongly dislike the soy milk sold at American grocery stores, so don't let that keep you from getting the soy milk here. I also enjoyed their savory shaobing and soft tofu. Their pepper shaobing, sweet shaobing, and sweet rice roll are alright. Well-made, but not my personal preference. Their menu is somewhat limited, and I think I listed everything that they serve. Parking is a breeze and whenever I'm there, there is always a table available for my family.

Eating breakfast at Joy Lounge in Greenwood Village has become a weekend routine. It offered traditional Chinese breakfast staples such as youtiao (fried breadsticks), purple rice rolls, shaobing (clay oven rolls), pepper pork buns, soy milk, soft tofu and soft boiled eggs. They had three different set breakfast with combination of three of these items. As authentic as it gets and very delicious. No wonder it was usually packed with customers, many with families. Didn't need to be an early riser or skip church, as It opened from 8am to 12pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Joy Lounge is inside Chilgogi Korean BBQ at Arapahoe and Peoria.

Housed in the same space as Chillgolgi is Joy Lounge! They serve traditional Asian breakfast items, many of which I grew up. All the flavors are nostalgic and don't know how I didn't see this place any earlier. The sticky rice roll has got to be my favorite and highly recommended! It came out warm, flavorful and just a delight. Some people may find the texture of the crueler (Chinese donut) inside to be a little chewy but it certainly adds to the flavor profile. I found it to be on the pricy side but hey I'll take it until there are other places that decide to make it. Service is fast casual and you order at the counter. The cashier who was helping me was super helpful and down town earth. If you're on the fence or just curious for a different breakfast experience this is the place to go!

Went here on Saturday after seeing raving reviews on Facebook and it didn't really live up to the hype. The food was yummy, don't get me wrong. They were a little salty and the soy milk was super bland even with some toppings in it. The place was super busy and packed as well crowded. The guy ringing people up did seem nice. However for what Facebook keeps talking about I think I'll stick to reminiscing of my California Asian breakfast places

Exactly what we were looking for. Traditional, made from scratch Chinese breakfast pastries. They even make their own soy milk from scratch, the flavor difference really stands out.
