There are some really good Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in Denver: Glo, Ginger Pig, Mister Oso... Hop Alley didn't live up to the hype for me. Everything was good, but not great. The service was fine, and I appreciated the food coming out quickly, but the pace felt rushed. The cocktails were weird twists on bar classics, and we've had better Chinese food elsewhere in Denver. Overall, really glad we tried it, but we'll be sticking to our preferred staples in RiNo.

The ambiance and service were great but the food just didn’t hit the spot for us. A a caveat, we’re vegetarian and ordered only vegetarian dishes, but almost everything felt overly simple and not particularly flavorful. At this price point, we expected quite a bit more from the food.

Service was excellent. Beijing Duck rolls were very good. We ordered the Gai Lan and it was soo salty, all 4 of us tasted it and washed it in water or soup. Wait staff brought us a new one when we asked if it was supposed to be so salty. The new one was better but still salty. They at least took it off our bill. Sichuan fish soup in Clayton was tasty but again seemed to have more salt than needed. Singapore noodles were interesting and okay but again it seems like it could use less salt too. The best thing was the duck rolls. Maybe this fusion is not our taste but all four of us felt the same way. Other customers seemed to be okay but I am surprised they would not feel the same way about the gai lan. Thanks for letting us try. We cannot honestly come back. Service excellent. Food not to our liking.
One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to anywhere. They are experts from service to food. Great music too! All around awesome experience.

Had a great anniversary dinner here. Service was excellent, the welcome glass of bubbly was a great touch, and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was really excellent, though I was anticipating it would be much spicier than from the reviews. It was really great overall. Dinner was a little shorter than we might have wanted. It was great that the food came out so fast, but also we had drinks, dinner, and dessert in 45 minutes. There was also a large party next to us, maybe 12ish and they were really loud, sort of decreasing the atmosphere a bit.
My partner and I dined at the chef’s table this past Thursday and it was absolutely incredible. Jacob, Josh, and Doug were a delight. The food and wine were amazing and the service was even better. It was expensive, but worth every penny and I would recommend it to anyone for a special occasion. I hope I get to get to return one day!

Unfortunately, this place was pretty disappointing. My boyfriend and I came here for a date night and were shocked by the lack of flavor. We were recommended to get 3-5 dishes, upon hearing amazing reviews of this place we were excited to try several things so we ended ordering 5 dishes (fried rice, wontons, chicken, eggplant and the beef dish), all extremely bland. The fried rice tasted just like a simple googled recipe. The beef dish was extremely tough and honestly just bizarre. This place feels like it relies far to heavily on its atmosphere than the substance of its food. Having been to Asia several times, this feels like such a poor American representation.

Food was okay; nothing special nor mind-blowing, so I really don't understand the hype for that place. Staff performance was very poor - slow, disoriented and at some point even disrespectful, which especially in customer service is a serious issue. It's one star, cause zero or minus is not available.
Service was great but the food was bland, almost tasteless. I definitely wouldn't call this Chinese cuisine despite what it says on Google Maps.

This place was incredible. The food was superb, and the waiters are so friendly. The presentation of the food was picture-worthy, but my appetite was faster than my phone… I’ll be back!

Very interesting combinations of tastes with great matching of different styles of wines. It’s been a long time I have been introduced to a dish that fits my taste 10/10 (husband and wife salad). Perfect service and recommendations. Will come back when I am Denver next time.
