Sidewok cafe — Restaurant in Denver

Sidewok is one of my favorite restaurants- the food is always fresh, delivered or ready for pickup promptly, and every order I've ever placed has been correct. The people that run this restaurant are also a major plus- the woman who answers the phone and handles to-go orders is so sweet and friendly, and Sam, who delivers orders always stops to say hello and check-in in addition to dropping off the food. There is little better than knowing you are supporting a family-owned neighborhood gem, but I also can't say enough about the many vegetarian and vegan options here- their sesame vegetarian chicken is the standard by which I measure all others- they use a homemade meat substitute in this and their other veggie dishes and the flavor and texture is spot on, with a delicious, tangy sesame sauce. My husband loves the BBQ vegetarian pork fried rice, and we've turned my non-vegetarian in-laws on to the pad Thai, which is delicious and saucy without being gummy. Other highlights are the spicy kung fu tofu appetizer, which is a lot like salt and pepper tofu, hot and sour soup, which has gotten me through a couple colds already this winter, and the pure depth and thoughtfulness of the veggie/vegan menu. Sidewok is truly a great neighborhood restaurant, especially if you're at least mildly curious about veggie substitutes. But we order from here for our meat-eating family and friends, too, and they have always...

Ordered takeout and when I picked up my food, I told them my phone #, paid, and took the bag they handed me. Got home and it was the wrong order. I called and was told to come back for the correct order and to keep the food I had because they couldn't give it to the other customer. When I got back I asked for a price adjustment, because I had been charged more for the wrong order. They refused telling me that I had gotten two orders for the price of one and that it was my fault anyway because I had given them the wrong phone #. (I hadn't, but even if I had, you're going to tell me it matched the phone number for the other order?) It was only a $7 difference, and I just wanted to go home and eat, so I let it go. I know mistakes happen, but after all that, the food wasn't even good. The Kung Pao not only had no spice, it was completely tasteless! With that kind of service and poor quality, I won't be back...

Wow this place is amazing! I can't say enough good stuff. The menu has a lot of really great choices! It was only my first visit so it was hard to choose one dish, I want to try 7 or 8 more but I selected the chicken and broccoli combo which came with soup (I got egg drop) rice and an egg roll. Everything I got was delicious. The sauce on the chicken was flavourful, the chicken and broccoli were fresh and delicious, the fried rice was fluffy with some crispy parts, the soup was velvety and divine. I can't wait to come back to try more of the dishes! Takeout only during covid, call ahead! I'd recommend this place to anyone who loves Chinese or Thai food, or someone looking for clean delicious fresh foods, great for...
