“ Wow, was this good Thai food! We got khoa soi, which came with crispy chicken. It was awesome and had a ton of flavor. The only thing I'd change is that "hot" was more of a medium, but it was still great. The seating area is a bit tight, but we still had a great time. I'll come back for sure and try a few different dishes. ”

“ Saddened to hear Lucky Noodles has closed temporarily while they scout a new location. Thankfully, it seems that sadness will only be short-lived. Too few restaurants today put Denver on the map. Despite being the capital of the West, the city - though it anchors the vast expanse between Los Angeles and Chicago - dines like neither. Some restaurants could compete on a national or international level but they are few in number given the population that supports the big city of the Front Range, not to mention the surrounding states that rely upon, and often envy, Colorado's global appeal and prominence. This is where Lucky Noodles enters the picture. Dining at it for the first time recently, I gleefully anticipated the owner's approach to sourcing rare ingredients and devoting enough time to each dish to ensure it is an ultimate in culinary expression and flavor. Each piece, ehr plate, becomes a work of art. The watchword is perfection. I wish I had just stumbled across this place, but it was a November Westword article with great background on the restaurant's challenging inaugural, Buddhist-like approach and determined creation of each customer's dish that intrigued me. When you arrive, you're greeted with two menus: the secret menu and the regular menu. The former lists dishes you can't find online. This allows for a select experience you can only embrace by being in place and ordering on site. The result is a wildly flavorful, visually impressive, anticipatory celebration of each bite. Really, before each bite ends you enthusiastically await the next. Impressively, having only been opened a short time in 2021, Yelp ranked Lucky Noodle 51st best restaurant in the United States. Think about what that entailed during what many of us would admit was the most challenging year of our lives. The world was beset by a terrible virus, sadness and stress, peak pandemic mortality and a collective patience shorter than your fingernail. Those challenges and their statistic relativity lead me to envision they probably could've ranked more like a top 20 restaurant nationally had it opened amid normal times and circumstances. It's hard to laud enough compliments in their direction, but I concur with previous reviewers who lament if only they could rate the restaurant higher they would. The service level is rock star (Aspen-level). The setting was pleasant (winning for attention to detail and creativity). The dining experience, phenomenal (one of the three or so best restaurant meals I've had the last five years). I'd tell you what I had, but I'm so sorry it'll have to be a mystery until you arrive in person wherever they should reopen. A hint for whenever that moment in time should come: it's the top item on the secret menu, but with chicken. ;) A toast to Lucky Noodles and all their endeavors when they reopen in their future location. ”

“ Amazing food, excellent, attentive and friendly service and such a sweet little haven that you may not expect just walking by. It's so cozy and very clean, I recently moved to this neighborhood and I am so excited to find my new go-to for comfort food - will absolutely be back! ”

“ Had an amazing authentic Thai dinner at Lucky Noodles. When we walked in, we were told the wait for food would be an hour because there were more than a dozen to-go orders. We didn't mind, and it was definitely worth the wait! Owner, "Ploy", let us know we should definitely have the Tom Yum Noodle soup or the OG Red Curry. My friend had visited Thailand several times before and said we should get the Tom Yum Noocle soup. We also opted to split the Jalapeño Crab Cheese wontons and OMG Pad Thai, a favorite dish of my son's. The wontons were unlike any I have had. Crisp triangular pillows filled with a sweet and spicy filling. These did not need a sauce. The Tom Yum Noodle soup was amazing. The five hour effort Ploy put into making this dish was evident in the flavorful spicy and sour broth that soaked the rice noodles and chicken. Delicious! The OMG Pad Thai was just that - oh my goodness where have you been all my life?! This busy yet quaint restaurant on east Colfax will not be there for long. Even though business is booming, Ploy is looking to move to a new location within the next three weeks. As with many restaurants, increasing rent prices are preventing business owners from making a living. Hurry in before it's too late and support Lucky Noodles. This gem makes top lists again and again, and it would be a shame to miss it. ”

“ Absolutely delicious. Having been to Thailand a couple of times, I can say this is the closest meal I've had to Thai food without being in Thailand! Lucky Noodles is a quaint little place offering about 20 inside seats and is located on the corner of Colfax and Marion. Here is why you go here: The Tom Yum soup is delicious. It offers the perfect combination of savory and spicy flavor. Ploy, the owner of Lucky Noodles and from Bangkok, told us she spends 5 hours making this soup, so it is well worth a visit here just for Tom Yum. The meal started with the jalapeno crab cheese wontons. OMG!!! So so good. A little sweet and savory with the best frying of wontons I've had. I could eat 100! We also selected the OMG Pad Thai with chicken. This was absolutely to die for. If you've had Pad Thai before, try the Lucky Noodle's version. I can guarantee it's unlike any other you've had. This left me wanting several orders of Pad Thai to go. I wasn't alone in thinking this either - Lucky Noodles was 15 orders deep in take away meals when we sat down to eat and the orders just kept coming. I had to order the Thai Tea as well, and was very reminiscent of my time in Thailand. You better hurry down to lucky Noodles quickly because in about 3 weeks, Lucky Noodles will close down to move to another location - tbd for now. Ploy, thank you for a divine dining experience. It is clear why you continually get on Denver's list of "must try" places annually. ”

“ Lucky Noodles is a Thai restaurant that is small regards to its seating capacity but big in regards to its flavor and charm. I suggest bringing friends and sharing as many dishes as you can because everything we ate was divine. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew we--my wife, our friend, and I--were about to share a delicious meal together because the aromatics filled the entire restaurant with mouthwatering scents. In regards to the food, the three of us shared the pork roti, curry puffs, OMG pad thai, and khao soi. Although all the dishes were winners, my wife and I both agreed the khao soi came out on top as the best thing we ate. That being said, the pad thai was a close second. Likewise, the drinks were also exceptionally good. The owner suggested we try the passion fruit mojito, so we ordered it and the gummy bear. Both were a balance of sweet and sour. I recall enjoying the passion fruit mojito slightly more but I would gladly order either or both again. I was also impressed by the owner. She was delightful and transparent. It became very clear that she was passionate about cooking and serving others a delicious meal. For example, when we had asked if we could order the mango sticky rice she told us that she would like to but won't because the mangoes aren't ripe enough. She said something along the lines of "I'm not going to serve something that you don't absolutely love." ”

“ This is definitely the best Thai food I've had in Denver and one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to. My husband and I shared: - Pork Roti - Curry Puff - OMG Pad Thai - Khao Soi - Gummy Bear Drink - Passion Fruit Mojito Everything we had was fantastic. I'd love to try the whole menu. Of everything, the Khao Soi was my favorite. This is my favorite Thai dish and this is probably the best version of it I've had. The Pork Roti is a must as well. I loved the variety of non-alcoholic drinks they have as well. If you haven't been, you need to try this spot. The owner was so nice and friendly. It's a small place, but we had no issue getting a table early on a Friday. ”

“ Back to try more! The roti and curry puffs were perfection!! So flavorful, not too heavy and the owner is the sweetest!! Love this spot- support local!!! ”

“ Stopped in for lunch and the food was great and the potion size for the Khao Soi & green curry are small. The people to the table next to us got a noodle dish and it looked bigger. Ultimately, I've tried a lot of Thai food places and while this is good, the portion size for the price isn't going to compel us to come back. The place itself is nice but pretty small with 5 tables you can eat at indoors but they do also have outdoor seating. When you arrive you place your order at the front desk and they bring you the food. The place is good but didn't blow me away. Happy eating!! ”
