John Holly's Asian Bistro

"Asian food in Denver is self-harm. I don’t know why I keep buying Asian food in Denver. Every time I order Asian food it doesn’t come out right. Felt sick after eating. Ordered a ‘hand roll’ thinking I’d get sushi instead I got this (refer to picture). I looked it up and apparently there’s a difference between hand roll and roll. But I wish they described this on their DoorDash menu. I got two apps and a side of rice that ended up being like 40+ bucks. For the quality I’d expect to pay less than that. Also why is the sashimi $15? It’s 4pc I wanted to buy it but damn $15 for sliced fish"

"My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. We loved the cozy, clean and comfortable atmosphere. My husband ordered a lunch special: the General Tso’s Chicken that came with soup and a starter (he chose the California roll). We highly recommend this lunch! All the ingredients were fresh and perfectly prepared, plus there’s so much food!! The only thing we didn’t like was the California roll. Something was off, but we couldn’t really figure out just what.I ordered the Rising Sun Roll and since it’s basically just a California roll topped with salmon, it was also not the best. I’m not sure if one of the ingredients had too much salt or what, but it wasn’t good and I was disappointed by the sushi. Overall, great experience and the service was top notch!"

"We ordered take out and were excited to try them as we heard they had great food. Our Mongolian beef was good but the sesame chicken was a gooey gelatinous mess and the chicken itself was dry as well. Very disappointing food quality"

"I've lived in this neighborhood for most of my life, so it's surprising that I've only just discovered John Holly's Asian Bistro. With a very unassuming exterior tucked in among several other local favorites, I guess it was easy to look over. But once inside I found it to have a very welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the baked green mussels with dynamite sauce for an appetizer. For entrees we ordered the California rolls, Philadelphia rolls, Alaskan rolls and the wonton soup. Everything was excellently prepared and served, and came out of the kitchen very quickly. The rolls were the best I've had; the Alaskan rolls gave me a genuinely emotional experience as all the powerful flavors packed inside took their turn. At the end of our meal we were served half an orange coated with a sweet powder, which was a nice touch. Prepared for anything at checkout, the price was easily justified for the quality of the meal - about $45 before tip. An excellent location for dates, family dinners and work meals. I highly recommend it, and will be returning as soon as possible."
