    Stopped by for happy hour on Sunday. They have a big happy hour menu with solid prices. We tried some different cocktails, all were good. Favorite food were probably the bok choy (big serving and great value) and the pork roll. But everything was good.

    The most delicious noodle place that adds a new spin onto classic Vietnamese dishes like spring rolls!! We absolutely loved everything we ordered on the happy hour menu! The baby bok choy was unlike anything we've had! They were steamed (maybe?), soaked in so much juice, and with a nice spicy kick without it actually being too spicy. It left me wanting more! The Shanghai Wonton Rolls were a nice spin to the classic crab rangoons! We also had the carmalized pork rolls which was a nice marriage of fresh veggies and the pork! I had the Tamarid Udon Soup which was SO DELICIOUS. Even better as leftovers. I put in the leftover baby bok choy which was such a nice touch! They should definitely add some baby bok choy to the Tamarid Udon Soup! I had a little bit of my husband's rock fish dish and it was cooked to absolute perfection. We ended the meal with the Vietnamese coffee crème brûlée, which left me tell you, as a woman of Vietnamese descent, is seriously the BEST crème brûlée I've ever had. I never expected Vietnamese coffee to be in crème brûlée!! As a coffee lover, this was quite unexpected. I cannot wait to return here!

    The vibes in here are really fun and lively, the interior is hip and beautiful. Happy hour has some pretty decent dishes, would recommend the papaya salad and the bok choy, which is doused in a flavorful garlic sauce. The food is ok. I was expecting an upscale version of some Vietnamese dishes, but found myself disappointed. The Rockfish wasn't really anything special, didn't have much Turmeric or Coconut flavor, over powering of dill and fennel. The Five Spice Duck Confit, lacked any sort of Sichuan numbing oil, the broth was mostly just overwhelming vinegar, didn't get any of that savory duck broth. I will say the duck itself was delicious and fall off the bone. But at $26, I found myself disappointed. The manager and staff were very nice and service was a 5/5 hands down. I really wanted to like this place but the food is just not elevated Vietnamese. And some of the food simply isn't Vietnamese either. Sichuan is as Chinese as it comes. Udon is Japanese. The menu lacks an identity. Simply put, the food doesn't match the price.

    The service was very very very slow on a slow night. The food was incredible. We tried to scallops that we’re on special, if they are available 10/10 recommend. The caramelized pork rolls were a bit spicy with the sauce but were wonderful. The bar is beautiful and the atmosphere is great. They have a Happy Hour on weekdays 4-6 and all night on Monday.

    Officially my new favorite Monday night spot! Such a beautiful restaurant with wonderful service! This place definitely doesn't disappoint. We had a couple dishes, drinks and dessert and it was still pretty affordable! Will be my go to spot this winter.

    Great meal! Got the larb with halibut cheek, the beef in betel leaves, the turmeric rockfish, and the beef noodles. Really enjoyed all of it, and there's so much more on the menu we want to come back and try. The bartender made me a mocktail, but I do wish there was a dedicated non-alcoholic drink selection on the menu.

    Please visit this restaurant if you want an explosion of flavors that will just make your taste buds sing!! I stopped in with my family and we had a wonderful time! We arrived right after opening time for dinner and it was perfect! Try to not spend past an hour so that others may get in and enjoy their wonderful food, it gets pretty packed later in the day so plan accordingly and enjoy!!

    A solid spot. Drinks and apps are awesome, 5/5! My main meal was personally a 3/5 - and I’ll explain further below: I think the apps all had really interesting and unique flavors. Drinks were also great while not being TOO pricy. I would definitely come back for some apps and drinks as the vibe of this place is really fun! I got the Lobster fried rice as my main meal. Overall, it was very decent. Well cooked rice and the flavors were good. The reason it stands at a 3/5 is the lobster was ice cold, so that was a pretty big bummer on the dish. The rest of the lobster fried rice dish, while good, I feel I could probably equal or beat out myself in my own kitchen. Personally though, I think there are other menu items that are likely much better, so I’m not giving up on this spot. Really excited to come back and try more main meals - hoping to bump to 5/5.

    An unexpected gem hidden under an apartment building. The cool looking crate wall behind the bar and dim lighting gave it a bar-like ambience, with a more restaurant feel behind a half wall around the corner. There was a surprising amount of mezcal on the bar menu, and happy hour deals (4-7 every day, all day Monday) were great. The food was incredible, if a bit more seafood forward than I normally prefer. Much more inventive (or hyper regional, in some cases) than I expected, with few named dishes I recognized. Szechuan oil is featured in a few dishes, including the bar peanuts, so you might literally drool from the food. Highly recommend trying them or the Ma La noodle dish. The slow cooked beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth, and the fresh noodles were perfectly prepared. I'm very happy I stopped in, and will return to try the Chà Cá Lā Vong the person next to me was raving about.

    Hands down this should be 5 stars! In town from Texas found this spot close to the hotel we were staying at and absolutely loved it. Saturday happy hour was perfect! The lobster 🦞 rangoo bao was so delicious I would have to say it was the most scrumptious thing I’ve ever eaten! The ambiance and attention to detail in the construction of this restaurant is a 10/10. Would highly recommend! Thank you so much for a memorable Denver experience.

    Great option for innovative Vietnamese food in a cool environment with a solid bar! The fresh spring rolls were delicious and refreshing and the beef cheek noodles were so tender and flavorful! Service was on point and the music was solid but you could still hear your table. Ill definitely be back!

    This place is awesome! The food is delicious, we shared several dishes which were all really good but I especially loved the Crispy Saigon Carmelized Prawns and Seafood Udon. The drink list is extensive and unique, everything we ordered was amazing. Such a fun place and one of the best new restaurants!

    verything was super tasty at Reckless Noodles! Started off with cocktails, you can't go wrong with any of them. For food the waitress advised us that the portions were large and meant for sharing, so that was great to know. We started with the Thịt Nướng caramelized pork fresh rolls and papaya salad, both very refreshing. We were warned that the papaya salad was spicy, which had a good kick but was not overly spicy (unless you really can't handle spiciness). Within the entrees we shared the Ma La braised beef cheek noodles, which was excellent. I love udon noodles and the braised beef is extra flavorful and tender. The lobster fried rice was also great with nice chunks of lobster. After all that, the best dish of the night was the Vietnamese coffee creme brulee. This is a must for coffee lovers! The ambiance was modern and chic but still casual (a little bit dark hence the not great photos), great for a date spot or out with friend.

    Great service and great food!! I got the duck crispy rolls and they were really good. I also ordered the beef cheek noodle, which was savory and incredibly tender, as if it was slow cooked, and with a kick of of spice. Fletcher was awesome! He is a magician behind the bar! 🪄🥃👏 Their happy hour is very well priced. I hope to come back to try it. 🥹

    This place is 10+ stars. Visited from Miami and came back here twice during my stay. Food is A+, atmosphere is super chill with good music. Solid decor and my favorite spot in Denver. Best happy hour by far as well.

    Fantastic new restaurant with amazing food and cocktails. Enjoyed the unique happy hour bites and can’t wait to return for dinner.

    What a FUN place to dine! All walks of life are welcome here and the owner/staff makes you feel at home. Food is above and beyond as well as the atmosphere and service. 2nd time here and definitely coming back!

  • 3/5 Christopher K. 7 months ago on Google
    Drinks. Atmosphere. Dates. Go here for drinks, small plates, and the vibe; all of their cocktails were delicious and creative, plus the inside is so gorgeous and fun. If I could rate the bar separately from the restaurant it would get 5 stars, or more, and I would definitely come back for drinks - but not for dinner. The food is not bad but is not great and took a while to come out all three times I’ve been in. Like many restaurants in Denver that are “instagram-able” the food is more expensive than good and it’s hard to justify stopping by for dinner when there are less expensive, less crowded, and tastier Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants in walking distance.

    My goodness! Every bite, sip, and slurp was off-the-chart delicious! Reckless Noodles is going to be a treasure in Denver. Heck, it already is. On top of the scrumptious food, the cocktails are fabulous and the service is genuine, friendly and efficient. I already know that we will be regulars here. I just hope it won't become too difficult to get a table!

    Very cool vibes, reminiscent of a red light district in Vietnam or Hong Kong. The food is good and generous in portions. My favorite were the caramélized prawns and curry noodles. The Vietnamese coffee creme brûlée was delicious as well. Good service!
