New Denver Restaurants and Restaurant Closings for the Week of December 16, 2019 - Westword

This was a chicken and noodle week, with two ramen bars, Menya and Mizuumi, and two chicken joints, Chook and Vons, opening. Menya has been around town for several years in various locations, while Mizuumi is a newcomer to the Denver noodle scene. Chook just opened its second Aussie-style rotisserie chicken outpost, whereas Vons originated in Korea and brought fried and oven-baked chicken to California before moving east to Aurora.

In Parker, a trio of restaurants opened inside the brand-new Laszlo Hotel, all overseen by executive chef Leah Eveleigh, whose previous claims to fame include winning Cutthroat Kitchen in 2014, and teaching Denver about Filipino cuisine through her pop-up dinners, classes and catering business.
