🍽️ Denver Restaurant & Bubble Tea Picks! 🥤

Restaurants: 🌟 Bronze Empire Hot Pot The broth is on the lighter side, but ingredients are fresh and clean. Service is great! Portions aren’t huge and prices are a bit high, but it’s a solid choice if you’re craving a mild, quality hot pot. 🌟 Star Kitchen So delicious — even my Cantonese family approves! 🥢 Wait times can be long on weekends — book online in advance. They close in the afternoon, so plan ahead. Affordable and tasty — totally worth it! 🌟 Hongkong Station Another Cantonese-approved spot! One afternoon I was craving baked rice, so I ordered to-go — flavorful, generous portions, and reasonably priced. 💡 Note: Denver is surprisingly strong in Cantonese food — both of these spots are safe and satisfying (though eating out in Colorado isn’t cheap!). 🌟 Sunflower Asian Cafe A dream for Jiangsu cuisine lovers — brought me right back home 😭 Must-tries: Silken Tofu Soup, Braised Lion’s Head Meatballs, Yangzhou Fried Rice. It’s a bit far from downtown, but if you have time — don’t miss it! Authentic Huaiyang restaurants are rare in the U.S. The staff is super sweet, too. Bubble Tea: 🌟 Milk Tea People HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 🧋 Strong tea flavor — so good! Nothing we tried disappointed. We went twice in three days! Located downtown — a bit tricky to park, and the entrance is easy to miss. But since Denver’s downtown is very walkable, it’s perfect to grab while exploring. 🌟 Boba Chic Went based on online reviews — located inside a frozen yogurt shop. Apple Maps pin was wrong; use Google Maps! Taste was okay — a bit like powdered milk tea? Maybe I ordered wrong. Not worth a special trip, but fine if you’re nearby. #DenverEats #CantoneseFood #HotPotDenver #BubbleTeaLover #MilkTeaPeople
