A bold, modern Chinese restaurant in RiNo — chef-driven, MSG-forward, and unapologetic about flavor, carrying a Michelin Bib Gourmand plus the guide's 2025 Exceptional Cocktails Award for Dustin Lawlor's inventive bar program. The menu reworks Chinese-American and regional Chinese cooking with real ambition; the drinks match it. Loud, confident, and genuinely good — one of Denver's most distinctive kitchens, where the cocktails are as considered as the plates.
