The staff went above and beyond for mine and my friend's birthday dinner! Our menus were personalized (although I didn't stick entirely to the gluten free options, it was a thoughtful touch for them to highlight it). The food was pretty goo

Hop Alley is a popular restaurant with limited seating for larger groups. I'd recommend reservations at least a day ahead if you are planning on going. We had a group of six and though the dishes are meant to be shared, I think the dish sizes

Great service and really enjoyed the food - the stand outs were dragon whiskers, the chilled tofu, and the la ji zi.

Five BIG shining stars for Hop Alley! It was absolutely worth the month-long wait list. Set an alarm- their reservations fill up quickly! Everything we ate was phenomenal! Definitely get the eggplant!
interesting, inventive Chinese joint.

I've been here countless times and each time is perfect. I get la zi ji every time. I've gotten pretty much everything on the menu though and you can't go wrong. I recently got the mushroom dish and was so pleasantly surprised by the t

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner and overall, I'd say it was pretty solid. It's definitely on the pricier side compared to what I'm used to for Chinese food, but the quality and presentation were both very well done. The
I have never enjoyed a restaurant the way I did Hop Alley.
The food came out so fresh and the service was top tier. I love that they had unique food options and were extremely considerate of allergies / dietary restrictions. I love the restaurant itself, very well decorated and the music was a straight bop.

Don't order the bone marrow fried rice or "short ribs" (if you can even call them that ). You could've told me the bone marrow fried rice didn't have any bone marrow and I would've believed you. The short ribs were basic

We had heard great things about this place and where looking to end our vacation in Denver on a high note. Not much went right after we were seated and our drinks came out. Our food came out so far apart the previous dish was cold by the time the nex
Ok but expensive food, obnoxious loud music
Food is ok but expensive; the atmosphere is terrible. They play rap music so loudly that conversation is impossible; and don’t turn it down when asked.
Go for happy hour, beware of parking
Great Asian fusion spot in the trendy Five Points neighborhood. Parking is a challenge for sure, so leave some time to find a spot. Go for happy hour - a lot of the main menu dishes are available at a reduced price. Ideal for sharing among adventurou

The food was interesting and delicious. Very friendly staff. Really enjoyed it both times I went.

This place lives up to the hype! Really great drinks, amazing food and excellent service. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The spicy dumplings were a spice level 11 but so tasty - I did not find them as spicy and I'm glad we got it. I'm not a fan of

The rumors are true: this local favorite lives up to the hype! My fav chinese dish is almost always garlic eggplant, and Hop Alley's did not disappoint. We also tried the La Zi Ji (deliciously spicy - and I mean really spicy and my husband grew up on

Great experience! Sat at the counter in the back by the bar and it felt like we got special attention and were able to chat with staff for a little bit. They gave lots of great recommendations on both food and drinks. The shrimp toast and Beijing duc
It's been a hot minute since our last visit to Hop Alley.
We've tried Hop Alley a few times before the renovation. There is a back area with more tables and its own bar section. Gotta admit this was def the improvement they needed since it was always so busy and crowded before. Service has always been exc
Denver has a strong offering here.
I met up with one of my friends who grew up here, and we had Gai Lan, bone marrow fried rice, and the Beijing Duck Rolls. All of the offerings were solid even with the many places I've been to here at home in California. Whoever curated this menu kn

I love hop alley.
The ambiance and food never miss but, recently they have started the chef's counter experience. You get a one on one experience with the chef and there is a specially curated menu just for the counter. It was a very enjoyable experience, food was del
Sat at the chef's table last night, what an experience.
Started off with the Dungeness crab dip, homemade BBQ chips and champagne. Then on to the Grilled Asparagus with everything crumble, Confit Jones farm potatoes, seared main sea scallops with fennel dashi and spring bulbs, Buckner farm lamb chops.

Atmosphere is fun! Great drinks and very friendly, helpful bartenders. Food is more family style. Recommend going with a group so you can try more menu items though it's also a good spot for a couple.
Delicious food! I can't believe some of the negative
Delicious food! I can't believe some of the negative reviews regarding flavor and heat. This is not a subtle, momas-boy, bland eatery...go to McDonald's for that. If you want bold, in your face food...eat here. Everything we ordered was extremely tas
Great dinner - so many interesting and delicious options and great staff
We had a delicious dinner at Hop Alley. Some of our favorite choices: "Dragon Whiskers" (wok tossed pea tendrils with garlic and ginger), Beijing Duck Rolls and the waffles. Waitstaff were friendly and responsive. Wonderful evening.

As an asian american living in Colorado, this food was very nostalgic for me. It reminded me a lot of the food that I would eat as a kid and at home. These are traditional dishes with a slight twist. The flavors are close, just elevated. I would defi

Awful! My mouth is so on fire right now I'm not going to be able to finish this $27 chicken after 2 bites and I love spicy food. I'm actually hyperventilating. It's some kind of dry rub and I am in pain right now. In addition, the portions are a jok
Unsure how this place currently has 4 stars.
This is the best restaurant I've eaten at in Denver, hands down. Service and quality of food were exceptional
Amazing experience, with delicious food and great ambiance!
We had an amazing experience here! Group of 6, make sure to make reservations. We ordered the Margarita Parón and teapot Assassin cocktail, and 9 of the plates to share. There is a big lazy Susan on the table so you can share family style. Our group
The most delicious and creative Chinese inspired food anywhere
Wonderful birthday dinner for my grandson, turning 13, this restaurant is way beyond ordinary. Let’s start with the lazy Susan in the center of the table allowing dishes to be spun around, family style. The seven of us ordered nine dishes, brought
Quaint, bustling, amazing food
My husband and I have been to Hop Alley twice in the last year, once just the two of us and again with another couple. The first time we had a reservation, and the second time we got very lucky and were able to sneak into a table since we were ther
Connect with users posting reservations for Hop Alley Denver
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Hop Alley Denver. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Hop Alley Denver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Hop Alley Denver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Hop Alley Denver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Hop Alley Denver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
