We went here on Sunday after Church. Was super skeptical because we are Filipino and my parents were in town so they came to try the food. It was pretty good. The biggest thing that annoys me in Filipino food restaurants is that sometimes it’s too salty. I’m here to report this was not the case. We ordered quite a lot of food and we did not have a lot of leftovers because it was yummy. The best thing we had in my opinion was the bistek, Thai rice, and palabok. The service was fast and the lay out of the restaurant was very spacious and they had great updated furniture. I took off one Star because there were quite a few items on their menu that was sold out and unavailable.
The pork adobo is fantastic, probably the best in Denver... Wait, this is the only Filipino restaurant in Denver so that's not such a big deal. It's kind of confusing because the menu says that the place is called real Thai II. this is the former site of Chow Sun restaurant. same owners, but for some reason they've been able to vastly improve the quality of the quality of the food. Long gone is the steam table that used to occupy counter space.
I visit CO often due to my partners family being out there and as a Filipino American I am always searching for a good Filipino spot.
I like how it’s a simple, authentic place. The flavors are there and the family who owns it seem very sweet. The only thing I would say is we ordered the pancit and I was a little disappointed in the type of noodles that were used. I felt like I was eating chow mein.
That being said, I will definitely be dining again!
Garlic rice was mushy. Chicken BBQ Skewers tasted old and inedible. Shrimp Tempura wasnt cooked, shrimp was raw. I will never order from them again. I love Filipino food, but be they are one of the few they think they can serve rotten gross food and people will tolerate it.
Open on Christmas Eve. Looooved their eggplant, orange chicken, garlic rice, and ice cream. Will definitely be back to try new dishes.
I broke my phone on a trip and needed to replace my phone but I flew in late and the only T-Mobile store that closes at 9 is off Buckley. So on my way home, I saw the flag and store front for Yolee J, made a mental note, told my buddies. We went there on the next weekend before the dinner rush. There were still a lot of people dining when we arrived, they all left but it filled back up by the time we were done eating. I had the pansit palabok, it was really good; the taste was a little strange at first but the palabok grew on me as I ate more. My friend had the triple pork adobo, it looks a lot like thịt kho but the flavors are very different; he said it was very good. We plan to come back for the rad na (if they don't run out again). You should go too.
Best Filipino and Thai food in Colorado!,

The food was good but the portions are small for the price you pay.
On GPS it says it open pull up sign says closed Wednesday
My Fililpino wife ordered food here, the portions are crazy small with hardly any meat in sight, barely enough to feed two people for about $70.00. She really misses her authentic food and I thought it would be a treat, but ordering from this place is a mistake you don't want to make. Expensive, stingy, rip-off.
Did a takeout order and everything was SO good. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends
Good food. Good service. Tan taking care our table very well .. definitely will be back.
Sarap!

So great to know there’s a new Filipino restaurant in the Denver area. Clean, nicely decorated and staff was delightful. The food was so good. Sooo much better than the previous restaurant and owner that was here. I’ll try the Thai food next time, but super happy with what we ordered.
Very clean!! Food is outstanding!! Nice to eat in or take out!!
I ordered Kare kare thru grubhub and it is so good! I didn't know that there is still an authentic filipino cuisine that I can order and eat here in Denver metro area.
