🍽 After selling his four restaurants in California last year, Jeff Lee packed his bags, moved to Denver, and never looked back.
The restaurateur is getting ready to start a new restaurant group, Hwaro, in the Mile High City. He’s already signed four leases, including in Riverfront Park.
BusinessDen reported in 2020 that Lee and partners had leased 5,550 square feet on the ground floor of The Confluence apartment tower at 1441 Little Raven St. in Denver for Hwaro Korean BBQ. As is standard for the genre, Hwaro — which is pronounced as if the word doesn’t have a “w” — will have grills built into the tables, which customers use to grill the meat and vegetables they select.
And the trio also hopes to open Hwaro Premium Sushi in April in 2,900 square feet at 2000 16th St. The corner unit at the base of the Millennium Bridge was previously home to Chuey Fu’s Baja Cantina. Lee and his partners signed a 10-year lease.
