Colorado's First Authentic Chinese Hotpot Restaurant!In China, one of the more popular ways to dine out with friends is to hit a hot-pot restaurant. At these often raucous halls, you order a bubbling cauldron of broth — in Sichuan, it’ll be spicy; northerners tend to like milder lamb broth — and then dump in a progression of thin slices of fat-ribboned meat, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and noodles. Once everything is cooked, you fish out a morsel with your chopsticks and dip it in a custom made dipping sauce or maybe some sesame paste, eat it and then start all over. It’s an interactive experience like fondue, and a good way to while away several hours. Here at The Bronze Empire, we bring the interactive experience to you with the most authentic flavors, freshest ingredients and knowledgeable staff to help make sure your visit to our restaurant is memorable, delicious and most importantly, fun!

    We love Acova. We always have an enjoyable dinner every time we go there! The staff are friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are the best. The atmosphere is enjoyable. This was the first time we were seated on the bar side. While it wasn’t as wonderful as the dining room side, we still enjoyed ourselves and our dinner and have no complaints!

    The Maggiano side salad was large and very tasty. The waitress and upstairs manager (Alberto) were very "customer oriented". Sign up now for Thanksgiving reservation before they are all gone.

    A favorite place, especially for special occasions and friends from out of town. I like the new all you can eat format, cuts down on a lot of confusion of the old ala carte menu. Only loss I saw (probably unavoidable) was in presentation - I missed the lighted aquamarine seafood platter. But I bet they would’ve brought one out if I’d asked - the servers are THAT helpful! Just a superb experience and glad we don’t live far away!
