Chuey FU's Latin-Asian Grub 1131 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, CO 80204

"I feel its only fair to preface this review with the understanding that I have worked in the service industry for over 6 years. I started by working as a busser, and have done everything from cooking in the back to managing front of house as well as back of house. In this instance I feel it is fair to say that I have had my fair share of busy and stressful evenings. Its part of the industry, it was one of the main reasons I no longer work in it. But never in my time working front of house had I ever snapped on a customer and verbally degraded them in front of the whole restaurant. This was the evening we experienced on 1/2/2024. The blond waitress to her credit was dealing with a lot, it seemed that she was the only one working that shift and there was a decent amount of people to deal with. That part is understandable, what isn't acceptable is refusing to split a check for a group and only allowing us to pay all together or split evenly. Then proceeding to rush us out of the restaurant saying "time to go" after being dissatisfied with the tip that was left. What is also unacceptable is proceeding to shout to the whole restaurant how "if we couldn't afford to treat our servers that we shouldn't go out". Perhaps if the check was split we may have been more capable of tipping out a greater amount as each of us would have been responsible rather than just one person. From what our group reported the food was adequate and prompt. The atmosphere was fine other than the conniption fit that was put on display. It was a decent evening otherwise. We will not be returning after such an experience was had as it was entirely inappropriate, but I'm sure after either a change of staff or a quick course on customer service everything should be above board."

"Tasty fusion tacos and nice margs. Meat in the tacos was dry but flavors were still delicious. We shared chips and guac, the Korean BBQ and Char Shu Pork tacos. My wife really liked her house marg. Service was polite with no frills - just one person running the bar and taking all the food orders when we stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Busy but not rude. Atmosphere is a bar but with some nice art painted on the wall like koi fish and such."

"Great deals and delicious food at an affordable price. Loved the chips and salsa and the Pho Burrito. Only thing I’d say needs improved is a bit of cleanliness, the table tops and menus could use a good wipe down. Otherwise staff was friendly and I will likely be revisiting!"

"We stopped in with some friends for a cocktail. I really liked the art, and the atmosphere, the bartender Erika was Awesome, and the drinks were tasty. We’ll have to try the food next time. I hear it’s good."

"This was a very interesting and enjoyable experience! I have never visited a Latin-Asian fusion restaurant before and wasn’t sure what to expect. The food was really inspired and tasted fantastic - I had a pho burrito and ahi tuna sushi nachos. My partner had Korean BBQ tacos and chipotle miso soup. They were as their names implied - if you imagined all the essential ingredients to pho but wrapped in a tortilla, that is exactly what it is and it worked REALLY well for each dish. The prices were not expensive nor cheap but affordable. Not to mention we both received free chocolate truffles for Valentine’s Day :) I highly recommend stopping by Chuey FU’s if this combination piques your interest in the slightest! I didn’t expect it to be a bar layout (my fault for not looking at pictures) but I take away one star for not being the most aesthetically pleasing environment. It was a bit haphazard and there was a movie with very gorey murder scenes playing which wasn’t the vibe. But, overall, will likely be visiting again :)"
