Wokano Asian Bistro — Restaurant in Denver

Overall, I found my experience with Wokano to be mediocre. I paid $14.50 for 1 entree and fried rice and requested extra chili sauce. I don't think the quality and/ or quantity of food received justifies the price (and my request for chili sauce went unaddressed, not even a little note, "sorry, no sauce").

It was a large bed of chicken unevenly coated in sauce (as if the chef hadn't tossed it properly), a few stalks of broccoli (fresh and crisp, probably the best part), several thin slices of steamed carrot which clearly hadn't been tossed with the dish, and a random pineapple ring tossed on top. Alrighty.

Honestly, I could have received similar fare from Panda Express at 2/3 the cost. Perhaps it's partially my fault for not ordering an authentic Chinese dish, and it's worth remembering that we're all not exactly at our best in these troubling times either.

Thus, I'm landing on "mediocre." There's potentially more to Wokano, but I don't think now's the best time to figure that out.

Still, I just want to say to the owners- I can only imagine how stressful it's been staying afloat over the last couple months, and I'm glad to see that you've managed to reopen without issue. Take...

Omg!! This has to be HANDS DOWN the most international, eclectic, diverse fusion Asian restaurants I’ve seen here in Denver yet!! It’s a small restaurant that you would normally pass by but it is an absolute must to come to. Incredibly authentic with beautiful Asian decor on the inside and a wide variety of Vietnamese Japanese Korean Chinese + I believe I saw Thai dishes as well - all in one extensive menu!! They even have dishes with steamed options as well for healthier and vegetarian folks as well. They pretty much have everything that you could possibly think of for any kind of eater! I will be here over and over and over again. Such an incredible gem in the heart of Denver! Are we lucky or what!? They are open from 3 to 10 o’clock Monday through Sunday. The food was so incredibly fresh had amazing portions and was delivered in the most authentic Asian presentation! I really wanted to try something with less flavor at first and to try their tofu and their tofu was the most amazing tofu I’ve ever had. My dish was the Bamboo steamer specialty w...

Wokano Asian Bistro was a favorite of mine when I lived at 8th and Pearl in Denver. I was in the area, so thought I'd check it out. We had the combination Chinese Lo Mein and combination Singapore noodles. Both were dry, not much sauce. The flavor profiles were off. The meat and shrimp didn't taste fresh. I'll order something different next time. My go to used to be the Drunken Noodles. Their egg drop soup, hot and sour soup were good. Tasty. Pork fried Dumplings were good, decent size portion. The dipping sauce was on the bland side. We had a pot of their jasmine loose-leaf tea. That was nice... the pot was too small to share with three people. It wasn't too crowded at 7:30pm. Service was good. The lady owner was friendly and helpful. The young man who assisted, wasn't. It was a nostalgic place for me, I hadn't been there since 2015. The food quality went down a little, but the ambience and experience was still nice. I give it a 3 out of 5...
