Tokyo Joe's - 16th Street — Restaurant in Denver

I really love the concept of this place. It's not fine dining obviously, but for a quick meal that won't break the bank, this is a cool spot. Now, I'm judging it solely on the BYO bowls. I can't attest for anything else, but for the bowls, it gets 5 stars! I can't tell you what my BF put in his bowl, but I can tell you, that even though the options don't include rice noodles as the base, I asked if I could sub rice noodles instead of udon noodles and the politely obliged. Yay! So I got the rice noodles with chicken, veggies and both the red and green dragon sauces as I like some heat! The red dragon sauce was a chile habanero sauce (I wasn't crazy about the taste personally) but the green dragon sauce is a serrano sauce that is DELICIOUS! The spice was awesome too! Honestly, I enjoyed it so much that I think we'll probably meet here regularly. Think of it as the Chipotle of Asian food. You really can't go wrong when you're building your own dish! Oh, and their tea selection is awesome too! They have like 4-5 different brews. I only tried the hibiscus tea, but it was perfect with my lunch. So if you want to please your palette, just go with...

I went there with my husband for a dinner thinking it was going to be a nice sushi place. When we came in, I saw a fridge w/ drinks in it, so I helped myself to a Sapporo beer no sooner, than this tattooed and pierced waitress came over to me and asked for my ID! Granted my husband and I are both well over 40, with grey hair showing to prove it, so nobody will mistake us for underage drinkers, yet, this adamant to "follow the law" lady was convincing us it was the law for her to ask of my ID with an attitude and a threat to refuse servicing us. We let the incident slide, my husband ordered the beer instead, since he happened to have his ID on him. I, in my turn, had yet another disappointment ahead of me. The mahi-mahi bowl I ordered was mainly brown rice with a small piece of overcooked mahi-mahi. So overall impression of the place I got is it's customer-unfriendly, and the food is not worth taking the...

First let me begin with I love Toyko Joe's just have had the most horrible experience here at this location . So the initial smell of this place smells like dirty mop water. Well hungry so I did not spend much time on that thought because I normally get great food. I get my food and yes it was fast and looked good when I opened it when I got back to work (ordered to go.) Well I open my sauce to pour a little on my food and there were chunks. Never had chunks in Terriyaki sauce before. Well I still give the benefit of the doubt and take a bit. OMGosh, burnt chunks of what not sure. Take the food back once I got off work, not one apology given. In fact they kept looking at me like I did it myself. I'm sorry that I practically starved today because I came on my thirty minute lunch and had no time to walk back and still relieve my colleagues for lunch. Needless to say a call to a...
