John Holly's Asian Bistro

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!

UPDATE: Adding some new pictures of green curry cod, calamari, salmon, crab cake, lobster shrimp fried rice, and green beans and eggplant.
SOOO GOOD.
Full of flavor and deliciousness. Price: Very fair.
You are getting all that and then some. Food: From wait time, to presentation, to taste…super flavorful, I’m always so excited to eat here lol Their catering options are incredible too.
Check out the pictures of the sashimi boats.
I don’t eat sashimi but seeing how pretty it was, I almost wish I did lol. Service: Everyone is so family oriented here.
You get treated like you’re a part of the fam as well.
Everytime I come here, I see regulars come in and can feel the warmth from the staff. Environment: Dinning area, bar area with seating, sushi bar with seating.
Not the biggest inside but plenty of room. NTT [[Next Time Try]]: EVERYTHING.
That’s it.
That’s all.
Eat everything.
Lol. You can catch me here everytime I’m in Denver.

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.
