Food was fantastic! We had the field greens salad, Beijing duck roll, and mushroom fried rice. The drink menu was also well thought out with many options and creative cocktails. The shareable style portions was also unique and fun allowing you to try multiple dishes.

Really enjoyed our dinner and experience at Hop alley. Service is excellent and all the dishes we tried were excellent. We arrived around 5:30pm on a weekday and were able to get in without a reservation. Think we just got lucky

Amazing food and fantastic service! Came for our anniversary dinner, and we weren't sure we would get in since we didn't have a reservation, but they were very kind and found a space for us. Everything we ordered was delicious, and they even surprised us with a dessert to celebrate. Had a great time visiting Denver and Hop Alley was one of the reasons for that.

Had a great anniversary dinner here. Service was excellent, the welcome glass of bubbly was a great touch, and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The food was really excellent, though I was anticipating it would be much spicier than from the reviews. It was really great overall. Dinner was a little shorter than we might have wanted. It was great that the food came out so fast, but also we had drinks, dinner, and dessert in 45 minutes. There was also a large party next to us, maybe 12ish and they were really loud, sort of decreasing the atmosphere a bit.

What a fantastic experience! We were a party of six with a child in a wagon that was gtube dependent. We were seated at a great table not off in a dark corner which is what usually happens when they see a child that could be loud (he wasn’t). We got a wide variety of items to try and share. Each dish that came was even better than the last. My taste buds were over whelmed. High recommend!

Had the pleasure of dining at Hop Alley this evening for my boyfriend’s birthday . We had reservations at the bar, which was tucked away in its own quaint little room. Upon being seated we were greeted by our server/ bartender who guided us through the menu. We ended up ordering the duck roll, tofu, dumplings, & shrimp toast. Each dish was complex in flavors and uniquely delicious. I wish I caught the name of our server at the bar as he was one of the more attentive & knowledgeable servers we’ve had in a long time. At one point my boyfriend dropped his chopsticks, and within seconds a new set was dropped near us. Our waters were never even close to empty. We both worked in fine dining for a long time and have visited many Michelin star restaurants from the Midwest to the west coast and we were blown away by the whole experience. We ended the meal with the peaches and cream ice cream, a perfect end to a fantastic meal! As new residents of the Denver area we are excited to come back!

Very interesting combinations of tastes with great matching of different styles of wines. It’s been a long time I have been introduced to a dish that fits my taste 10/10 (husband and wife salad). Perfect service and recommendations. Will come back when I am Denver next time.

This is easily one of the best restaurants in Denver! The food was absolutely delicious and felt genuinely authentic. The service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly polite and thoughtful, especially when it came to our dietary preferences. For appetizers, we tried the lion’s mane mushroom dish and the shrimp toast. Both were excellent, but I highly recommend the mushroom dish—it was a standout. For entrées, the mushroom fried rice and Singapore noodles were both full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Don’t miss out on their Old Fashioned cocktail either, it was delicious!
