The Kopi Den….an Asian Cookery - Malaysian restaurant in Colorado Springs - 6760 N Academy Blvd, USA

Yep, very good indeed. Driving by you would miss this place. Behind a gas station on North Academy. Stopped by for the first time on the way to a local brewery. We both got the Dry Noodles to go. Very friendly folks working here. My dad spent his youth in Malaysia and when we would visit him in the UK he loved to take us to his favorite Malaysian restaurant. He would have liked this.

Ladies from the Tri Lakes Women’s Club Adventures in Dining Group decided to explore the Malaysian street food at the Kopi Den. We were intrigued by their almost unknown cuisine and the chef’s remarkable background (just one was teaching at the Kitchen at the Broadmoor Resort). We were welcomed by Ted who immediately made us feel welcome. He explained the unique, non alcoholic drinks, incl. various teas and the variety of dishes. Everybody delighted in the unique flavors, not too spice. For those of you that like it hot, spicy sauces were on the side of the dish. And then there were the deserts 😊😊 The Kopi Den also offers takeout.

Another great restaurant! Everything I had was delicious, and service staff was welcoming. The chicken rice bowl tastes way better and more flavorful than it looks, but the looks are what made me try it. The Pulut Hitam is definitely not a dessert I've had before, which made it more exciting to try. It was easily worth it, and the ice cream was really good too. I look forward to stopping by again after my next random hiking trip, to reorder and try more of the menu.

Me and my wife wanted something cheap and tasty and we are big advocates for trying something new, so we decided on this little Malaysian restaurant and we do not regret it. Definitely take the recommendations of the employees they know what they are talking about. The dishes we got were the perfect mix of spicy, rich and salty and a little bit of sweet too. We took it to go and it’s not too far from the Garden of the Gods and it makes for a perfect picnic! 10 out of 10.

Wes down in the springs and we'd been wanting to check out The Kopi Den for ourselves after friends brought it to our place in Denver and we thought it was delicious. The food is not bad and Malaysian food is very niche, especially here in Colorado. The food is also not good. I have had better from home chefs. Compounding this is the portions are very small (even for a large) and prices are a bit elevated for what you get. As well, not everything on the menu was available. It is unclear if they did not make it that day or ran out. So go in prepared for that. Atmosphere is low key and that's just fine, very clear. Service is a little slow, but friendly and polite. Would I go down to the Springs just for food from The Kopi Den? No. Would I eat there if I happened to be there? Maybe.

Wow, don't think I ever had Malaysian cuisine until now! Absolutely delicious, savory and well spiced. Also super nice people working here. Don't sleep on this gem 💎

Great first experience with Malaysian food today here. The dry noodle wanton dish (and spicy version, wanton laksa) are a must-try. The curry was also very lovely. Ted the owner was super gracious. We'll be back!
