JJ Bistro

An excellent lunch plate in downtown Denver, both by portion and price. Orange chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had and the wonton and spring roll on the side are a nice addition for variety and crunch. The lady who works there is funny and sweet, and she always recognizes us and makes jokes. One of my favorite lunch spots in the city!

One good thing working downtown is the opportunity to try out all the restaurants normally would not take the trip to try out. JJ Bistro on the second floor of the Sakura Square is a such example. It has been a staple here as far back as I can remember, but never climbed the stairs to eat there. As my new year resolution is to explore more Asian restaurants downtown, JJ Bistro was a perfect candidate (since it was within walking distance from my office). The restaurant was quite roomy and had the traditional American Chinese restaurant feel. Ordered my favorite sesame chicken. For lunch, it came with a spring roll and cheese wonton. The sesame chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside with a sweet, spicy and tangy taste. Surprisingly better than many other sesame chicken in town. Certai

We were a little skeptical when we walked in but this place actually blew me away! The service is quick and everyone is super kind. Food was great! We weren’t big fans of the spring rolls, but everything else had really really tasty flavor. The environment is really cozy, and the AC inside was such a nice break from the heat outside. Definitely give this place a try if you haven’t!

Fantastic restaurant. Came here with a friend, just a quiet, unassuming restaurant on a Monday night. The egg drop soup was delicious, rich in flavor with silky eggs. Prawns in lobster sauce had a wonderful flavor. Plenty of cashews (with an equal amount of celery) in the Cashew chicken. 10/10 for both dishes.

The entrance is a little hard to find, due to the main stairs being blocked off, but if you go around the building by the dumpster there is a hidden staircase. As soon as you walk in, the lights are down low, but the atmosphere is very familiar, and calm. The service is excellent, i was treated with love and care, and the food was most definitely made with love. The food was more than delicious, and i love how the woman always checks up on the costumers. Great restaurant for a first date, or a calm meal and conversation. 5 stars.
