🇺🇸 Denver Restaurant Picks – Hidden Gems in the "Food Desert" 🏜️

Let’s be real — Denver’s food scene isn’t quite LA, but I still uncovered a few tasty spots worth trying! Listed in no particular order: 1️⃣ Seoul K-B.B.Q. & HotPot 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💵 Price: $75-80 per person ⏳ Dinner wait: ~30 mins (there’s a supermarket next door to browse while you wait!) They offer both BBQ and hotpot — we went with BBQ 🥩 You can order à la carte or AYCE — we got Combo C (5 meats, perfect for 3 people) Staff help you grill 🍖, plating is pretty, meat is fresh and flavorful. Even the king oyster mushrooms were branded with the restaurant name 🍄! A perfect first meal after landing — filling and satisfying! 2️⃣ Domo Japanese Country Food Restaurant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💵 Price: $30-35 per person ⏳ Lunch wait: ~45 minutes Loved the rustic Japanese garden vibe 🌿 We tried the Kiritanpo Nabe and Cutlet Curry — each meal comes with a main, side, and veggies. Honestly — the atmosphere outshines the food, but it’s a solid, affordable quick lunch spot! 3️⃣ Now Phở 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💵 Price: $25-30 per person After a week of “white people food,” this pho really hit different 🍜💦 Who doesn’t love pho? Customize your own bowl with noodles, meats, herbs — so good! Drinks are a bit old-school but… better than nothing 😂 (Yes, that rhymed — lol!) 4️⃣ Milk Tea People 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💵 Price: ~$8 per person A local viral spot — a must-try drinks shop! We ordered: Blueberry Lavender Matcha Black Sesame Jasmine Tea Loved the look, vibe, and flavor 💜 📢 PS: The staff was a little scatterbrained — they said our order would be ready in 30 mins and they’d call… We waited almost an hour (we were at the Thompson across the street). When we called back, they said it was ready — but when we rushed over, one drink still wasn’t done 😅 Just two drinks, guys… #DenverEats #FoodieFinds #DenverRestaurants #KBQB #PhoTime #MatchaMoments
