In Short – Funky and fresh, a hip cacophony of colors and textures defines this upscale loungey spot. A reddish-orange glow cascades over two rooms, loosely divided by a see-through grate. The long bar (topped by geometric lights) zigzags between them. Owner-chef Richard Sandoval (also of Tamayo) presents Asian-Latin fusion food on a tapas-like menu. Most dishes pack a spicy punch, including lemongrass and lime broth tiger shrimp soup and a tidy chopped chicken salad with ginger vinaigrette.

Trendy.... but all show.
by Woody1234
If, to you, a great restaurant is simply cool decorations and ambiance, a youngish staff, and bass heavy music, then Zengo is as good as they come.
If you are looking for GREAT food and GREAT service you are barking up the wrong tree. I have now been to Zengo twice for dinner and I have been twice disappointed. This place is certainly unique in Denver..... not least because rude, pretentiousness does not attract Denverites the way it might attract say ....a Manhattanite. We want quality.... not mediocrity wrapped in a pretty package.
You can get well made drinks most anywhere in town..... and this place has relatively mediocre food. If you think going to this kind of overpriced ambiance spot makes you hip, trendy, or cool.... well you've got a lot to learn about cool.
- Pros: Solid Drinks
- Cons: Impatient Rude Service

Horrible Service!
by ArtySun
Went there recently for dinner with friends I have been there before and had a fine time but it has been awhile so I'm guessing they have new staff. The hostess first off was rude and unfriendly, the manager should remind her that this is a customer based service and she should act appropriatly. So starting off our experience was bad due to her horrible attitude. Then the waiter wasn't nice at all. We all felt as if we were taking time out of their lives and it was a burden to wait on us. The place was empty so being overwhelemed was not the reason. Overall, the food and drinks are good but the horrible service takes the cake. There are far better places in Denver such as Samba Room or North with better customer service that I will visit instead.
Manager, ask your staff to check their attitudes at the door.
- Pros: Trendy environment
- Cons: Hostess and waitstaff

Best Happy Hour
by AbouTown
Been in for dinner before (love it!!) but stumbled upon their happy hour while stopping in for a beer after a day in the park. You have to sit in the lounge or bar but the lounge is super comfy (we couldn't get a seat @ the bar- apparently some people have caught on). We had a selection of mojitos and little appetizer sushi each for $5!! They also have other $5 apps and chorizo tacos, a bit more expensive but they are to die for. Going back next week with all the girls.
- Pros: $5 happy hour menu
- Cons: Only until 6:30....get there @ 5:00
