The service and food was amazing. The upstairs room was a little loud but they had a live Dj/music and the vibes were fun if you are down for an experience. For more of a quiet dining experience I recommend sitting down stairs. The food is a bit Pricy but the quality and flavor is great. Our waiter was awesome and gave us a free rabbit glass for the long wait we had for one of our entrees. They go above and beyond here and it's always great when we go here!
Probably one of the best places we found in Denver. We were a little concerned with the bottom floor but the tea house was where we sat and it was awesome. Great food and the DJ was good!

Wonderful place for a birthday dinner with friends. Love the booths upstairs in the tea room with the spinning table, made it super easy for sharing food. And you'll want to share so you can try as many things as possible because the food is amazing!

I recently dined at Bao Brewhouse with a group of friends, and unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. While the ambiance seemed promising, the noise level was incredibly high, making it difficult to hold a conversation without shouting across the table. The food was average at best and overpriced for what was served. Although some dishes were decent, they didn't quite justify the hefty price tags. To add to the disappointment, our waiter was inflexible when it came to accommodating our group's request to split checks or do separate checks. This lack of flexibility made the dining experience more stressful than enjoyable. Overall, while there were some positive aspects to the restaurant, the noise level, okay food, and poor service detracted from the overall experience. I'm not dying to go back.

This was my first time at Bao Brewhouse and it did not disappoint. Matt was incredible and navigated our allergies and served up some delicious food! Our favorite dish of the night was the Short Rib Spicy Noodles! The drinks were great too! I will be back.

Tea Room Review: Our server Ashley made the experience subpar, she was inattentive (waited 15 minutes to be acknowledged after flagging down another waiter to ask if someone had our station - it was 5:30pm and only 4 other tables were sat in the Tea room). Ashley was dismissive upon asking if we could order some bao buns from downstairs menu which the hostess told us we could. The Wagu steak dish was completely cold upon arrival and our waitress never came back to see how our food was. I had to go find her, she was on her phone, to tell her the steak dish was cold. I was so excited to try this place for the first time and unfortunately I will not be going back. - Big on the pig: good - cheese ragoons: good - pork belly side: good but dry - short rib spicy noodle: very good - wagu steak: very good warm, truffle sauce excellent Ok experience but overall disappointing.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the menu is fantastic. You can order from your table with QR. Loved the Din Sun style that allows for sharing/small plates. The food is fantastic. Flavorful, spiced, and delicious. Excellent service and fun staff. I really like the hole in the wall type atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

The food was incredible. I really needed that. It was our anniversary and we had such great service. It was a lot louder than my husband and I are used to. It's not the establishments fault for sure. We work in the customer service industry also, ours is just a little different. The staff was great, and it was even really cool to chat at least with the other couple next to us. We had a total blast, and my left overs I ate maybe an hour after we got back to our hotel. Also the bathrooms were nice. But we loved the whole expirence all the way.Dietary restrictions: I have an extreme allergy to strawberries and our server was very conscientious of everything I had questions about and made sure to double check. I know how taxing that can be but she did such a wonderful job about communicating if there might be any concerns. I wish I could remember her name. She was so sweet.

We've been to Bao Brewhouse a number of times and always quite enjoyed it. I can only review the vegetarian dishes, which are very good although there aren't many on the menu. But, they're very good! Mushroom dumplings are great (and I regularly make baozi at home so I'm a dumpling snob.) And even though the menu doesn't tell you, they'll add tofu to the veg fried rice which is a game changer. Cocktails are great -- tasty and interesting. And some good beers on draft.The "mains" are big: the two of us share two appetizers and the fried rice (with tofu) and always have leftovers to bring home.They had a total kitchen failure last night that ended up giving us pork instead of tofu on the fried rice. Our server Ashley and the manager Taylor took care of it immediately and gracefully and comped us the fried rice dish. And even before that, they took great care of us like always!Taylor told us they're about to introduce a full vegan menu (which really should be a no-brainer in a Chinese-themed place since it's so close to veg friendly already). So, we're looking forward to that on our next visit!The only downside about sitting upstairs is that the music is really loud. Like hard to hear the servers loud. Does add to the funky and fun atmosphere but makes us reluctant to bring friends of "a certain age" with us since they won't be able to handle it. It's fine for the two of us but wouldn't work with a group of our friends.We like Bao Brewhouse! And plan to keep visiting!Vegetarian options: The veg options are currently quite limited: a good hot&sour soup, mushroom dumplings, egg rolls, and mushroom fried rice. All of these are very good.The manager tells us they're about to introduce a full veg menu. One of the main pieces of customer feedback they've gotten is the need for more veg choices. I'm looking forward to that!

We ordered duck noodle soup, pork belly bao, big on the pig, and bao salad. The service is good, and the atmosphere is ok, but we are extremely disappointed in the food. I know salt is an important ingredient in Chinese cuisine, but this restaurant put too much salt in all their food. You cannot taste anything but salt. Is the restaurant trying to hide that their food is not fresh?

Went in last night and it took us 35 minutes sitting at the bar to recieve our mushroom dumplings which were SEVERELY undercooked. The dough was mushy, the filling tasted bitter, exactly like uncooked garlic + onion and the mushrooms were so bitter its as if they were rotten and even after going to eat other food the taste of those putrid dumplings stayed in my mouth until I brushed my teeth before bed. Now this morning both my boyfriend and I are and experiencing horrendous Diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps. 0/10 do not recommend.

Frozen dinner for a lot more money. Service was great but when you charge the premium price for the food, they should at least try to make it taste better. I'm sure it was hard to do since they were all pre-made fronze food you get delivered.
