I haven't had much in the way of Korean food, but this place rocks. Loved the wings- we got the mild teriyaki and the spicy secret, and hands down the spicy secret was stellar. I thought I would be too much of a wuss for it, but if I could go back I would order all of them that flavor. The kimchi fries were stellar as well- they had kimchi, jalapeño, queso fresco, bulgogi sauce and beef on them, and they were so flavorful. The portion was huge too- it would have been a good appetizer for 4-6 people, rather than to split between the two of us. I wish they offered a half portion. The only thing we weren't a fan of were their cocktails- the flavor was good but they tasted weak. We tried the Seoul Sunset and the Forbidden Fruit, and the Forbidden fruit was definitely better. Get a beer or wine instead. They do have happy hour on Friday and Saturday. Service was friendly and quick, if not super talkative. The ambiance was fun, upscale city with neon colors and brick. Highly highly recommend if you're looking for good food at a mid level price.

Stumbled here after our flight got cancelled while in Denver. This place is what I believe is their version of downtown? Place is small but it was busy and has great space between tables so you don't need uncomfortable. Service was great but a bit slow but understandably so. My friend and I shared the fried and their wings and we loved all of it! The fries were very fresh, crunchy yet soft and so full of flavor! You'd get intimidated by so much sauce over fried but everything was very well balanced. Their wings were a nice chunky size and very meaty. They had a list of flavors we could pick from and we were able to mix and match them which was great because we got to try a few at once. This is a solid Korean chicken spot for sure and they also have a cute little bar you can order drinks from to pair well with the finger food!

Great service, food was decent Gochujang Chicken Sandwich $15 Oversized chicken piece that was average in taste. The slaw on the side was too sweet Kimchi Fries $14 Delicious, bulgogi with fries is a game changer

Everything was popping hot/fresh. The fries and chicken were both extremely crispy with that extra crisp crunch. The was only one young lady serving the whole restaurant during lunch, but she did a great job managing and maintaining order in the restaurant.

First, I have been in a couple of times and tried new things from the menu every time. Everything has been fantastic, but I will say they have terrible service. Most of the times that I have stopped in have been during my lunch break, and it is usually empty inside, so I do not understand why it takes so long for the employees to get the service going. The female who served me gave me a cup of water, walked away for about 10 minutes, then returned, and all she said was ready to order. That was the only interaction I had with her besides bringing the bill and some boxes. Every time I come, it's like this. Hopefully, this doesn't steer you away, but this is a fair warning not to expect warm service or really any service at all. As for the food, I usually get Korean-style chicken wings. I ordered the garlic soy flavors and spicy flavors! These are some of my favorite wings in the Denver area. They are always juicy, crispy, and flavorful. Their season fries, cheesy corn, and Bulgogi nachos are delicious. If you're in the area and looking for some delicious wings or Korean food, check out this place.

If I wasn't such a self professed "Korean Fried chicken" addict Mono Mono would get a higher rating. It was good and I've certainly had worse but their chicken wasn't as crunchy as I like or expected and not as flavorful. To be fair they only offered their version of Korean Fried chicken batter on their bone in wings. Some of these wings could have been over cooked and dry but weren't, so lots of kudos for balancing some crispness with tenderness. I think they rely too much on their creamy style dipping sauce to give the wings that extra umph, which didn't work for me. They do have a "southern style" batter for their drumsticks which didn't try. The real find for me were their fried Brussels spouts! Wow these were amazing with a capital amazing. Crispier and lighter than standard tempura which I didn't expect. It also has a umami filled sauce that was mostly in the bottom...don't forget to toss it slightly for that extra level of umami. Lastly, for me service was just okay. There was one person and while he checked in with me, I wouldn't call it frequent and it took awhile to get my order fulfilled and to get the check. I'd definitely recommend the food and I'd definitely come back.

Brought the family here for my son's bday. He is a huge fan of Seoul KBBQ & Hot Pot...so after reading an article in 5280 I learned that this restaurant is owned by the same Gentleman/restaurant group behind Seoul... https://www.5280.com/meet-the-man-bringing-traditional-south-korean-eats-to-colorado/ The vibe is awesome! From looking at pictures on Yelp we were very happy that we made the decision to come to this location instead of the others. The service was great! Super friendly! The food was really good! We opted for the Bulgogi fries, 6 piece wings, Gochujang sandwich and habanero mayo popcorn chicken. It was all delicious! The standouts for us were the wings and popcorn chicken. The burger was good...but we regretted our decision to get the Gochujang instead of the fried chicken sandwich as soon as we bit into the soy garlic wings. That soy garlic is amazing! What a flavor explosion!! Delicious! Without a doubt we will return!

Great food with mediocre service but don't let that stop you from ordering a little bit of everything off the menu. My wife and I ordered 6 signature wings, half teriyaki soy, half hot & spicy, corn cheese, cheesy pork katsu, and kimchi fried rice. Kimchi fried rice came out first. It was phenomenal. It set my expectations high for the remaining items. And everything we ordered met or exceeded those already high expectations. I would gladly order the exact same items again. Gun to my head, if I had to pick only one favorite... I'd be shot in the head because I can't decide. It was all so good. The service wasn't the best I've experienced. Took longer than normal to get a seat. The pacing of the food was all over the place. But our server was kind and polite. The ambiance was casual. The inside was dimly lit. We opted to sit outside since it was bright and sunny the day we were there.
