Little Ollie's Aspen — Restaurant in Aspen

Buy the way the food could not be worst. I have no idea who reviewed this place as good. I went there because of the reviews and more wrong they could not be. I would give them zero starts if possible. First the price was very high but I figured good reviews good food no problem. Placed order for take out was fine. I had asked for utensils and plates since we where in a hotel that did not have a kitchen. You would figure your in a resort town most hotels don't. Get there greeted with a super bad look like someone you hated "guess they don't like blond blue eye people" no problem I would probably not want to be friends anyways. Bag was closed so I opened it, guess what no utensils. So I asked for some and he goes and gets one. Mind you I had ordered for soups and a bunch of everything else do getting one spoon was kind of idiotic. So I ask for three more plus other utensils for the rest of the food it we would be eating with out hands. So a get another bad look and something said in another language that I didn't know, better that way I didn't go off on then, my son was with me. So I then ask for plates and he goes we don't have any. Which I responded why did you not tell me when I ordered I had asked for them. I guess my son senced that I was getting mad ask me if we could go. So we left and had to go to the store to buy plates for dinner. This place sucks, avoid it at all cost. Like I said in the start very expensive for really awful Chinese food and extremely poor manners...

Service: 1/10 Food: 1/10 Authenticity: 0/10

Save yourself the trip and head to one of the many delicious restaurants around instead. We stood around waiting while the staff was watching youtube on their phones. Another lady came in after us and she called them loudly several times for service, it was very frustrating that it was slow and we couldnt get any service. Unfortunately the entire night was like that- eyes glued to the football on tv, no refills on water, horrible service, had to call their attention multiple times. Drinks are all mass produced and they'll plop your canned beverage on your table like some cheap take out joint... except charge you triple. I was half expecting our meals to be served on disposable plates and I did get cheap wood chopsticks for dine in service. Forget real silverware or a drink served with a glass, ice, and straw, or even soy sauce for your bland food. Expect to ask for everything, because they won't do more than the bare minimum. Seriously, who runs this place?

The prices would all be forgivable if the food wasnt overpriced slop. A $7 soup the size of a small coffee cup and everything tastes worst than panda express. Dishes are $20+, appetizers $18+, expect all beverages to be from a can.. do they even make anything here?? Everything tastes like cheap syrup out of a can, made by a teenager. Nothing authentic about this place, don't expect anything to be made in house or served with care...

This location is the old Little Ollies. I was sad to hear that it had closed because it was a family favorite. BUT! What an amazing transformation!!! The eat-in part of the restaurant is lovely. The fixtures are beautiful, artwork is stunning and the atmosphere is bright and inviting. As lovely as the restaurant is, the food is beyond amazing and the service was cheerful and attentive. Even with the the restaurant and it’s staff being wonderful, it is the food which will keep me coming back. The Asian fusion food is as authentic as it gets in addition to adding a creative side to the menu that is exciting and mouth-watering. (As I sit here writing this review, I am craving their Krack Chicken - similar to fried chicken in a waffle cone which has been drizzled with real maple syrup, OGM!!!!). Other standouts include the juiciest and most flavorful soup dumplings I’ve ever had, crab Rangoon, kung pao cauliflower, chicken dumplings and roasted pork over rice. I can’t forget to mention their everything fried rice and a noodle dish of which I cannot remember it’s name. I cannot wait to to go back and try the other items on the menu. Welcome to the neighborhood, Bok Choy East/West Kitchen! ...
