50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Arvada

“Best Pho in Arvada! Had the pad Thai tonight and it was excellent. The hot and sour soup is awesome too. Everything we've eaten here is so delicious! Great service. Food comes out very fast and hot. Will become your regular spot 😋“

“My coworkers and I decided to come here on our lunch break. We have one hour. We got the lunch special-Mongolian beef with wonton soup, sesame chicken with egg drop soup, and happy family with hot and sour soup, and a giant combination lomein to share.

They were we all super friendly from the get-go, walking in the door. The place was clean and the environment was vintage and homey, like the old restaurants you'd see in a movie. There were fresh cut roses in vases that looked like they were from a home garden, not store bought. I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure they were home grown, IDK why.

Now, THE FOOD... DELICIOUS AND FRESH!!! Everything was cooked to perfection and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was was fine to waste. Although we couldn't finish because we had so little time, we all took it home and enjoyed it. I honestly enjoyed it so much and shared it with my daughter that we are actually ordering more today! Do yourself a favor and go get some. But be prepared to wait because if there's a lot of people... The wait will be long. That was the only downside. But the wait was well worth it!!! TRUST ME!!! 😋😋😋“

“This is definitely one of the more expensive Chinese restaurants I've been too they truly are worth it I've had a huge craving for sesame chicken and I ended up ordering the sesame double delight and it was absolutely amazing the shrimp were big“

“Food is excellent and staff is nice. No source of heat in Bathroom for ladies. No plug-,in. You cannot even put a space heater in. In winter it is freezing cold in bathroom. Cannot even sit on toilet. This does need remedied“

“We have literally been going to this dollar scoop since I was in middle school. For a single father of three , this place literally saved us some nights. Now, I can't help but rate all other Chinese food by this place and hardly any have compared. I will never not be grateful to the family that runs this place. Thank you.“

“It’s a very pleasant spot. The service provided by the young man was incredibly kind and laid-back. The place is impeccably clean, and the food features generous portions and delicious flavors—I particularly noticed how fresh the chicken was. They use chicken breast, which is something that really stands out—I haven't seen that done anywhere else. The prices are very affordable, too. Oh! And as a coffee addict, I ordered a Vietnamese coffee, and it was delicious. Highly recommended! 😊🫰🏻✨“

“Great portion sizes and really good food.
The service stood out—we walked in and they had my order ready and greeted me by name, which made it feel personal and welcoming.
Great experience overall. Definitely coming back.“

“I’ll be honest…we had pretty low expectations for this place…but turned out that everything we got was absolutely delicious! The pad see lew, drunken noodles and basil chicken were all excellent! We’ll definitely be back to try 10 other things on the menu! Also, portions were huge! Great value!!“

“Excellent service mng you guys are great thanks for everything from the flea market love ❤️ guys“

“Another great Michelin Bib Gourmand find. Creative, unique Asian fusion dishes. Chef is not afraid to load up on the spice. Go here if you want something you've never had before! Been here a few times....didn't have a bad dish yet. And the staff seems happy and attentive and low turnover...another mark of a great restaurant.“

“Food flavoring was off. Ian, our server did a great job.“

“Amazing food and drinks. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable !We will definitely be going back!“

“Best scallops I have ever had. Great food, traditional Chinese. The restaurant is “older” don’t expect sleek Americanization. Focus on the great food.“

“We entered the restaurant at a quiet time with only a few customers. Our waiter, Tony, greeted us on his way to deliver an order to another table, letting us know he saw us. The best part of our experience turned out to be this waiter: he was knowledgeable and efficient, helpful and kind without hovering. The food was delicious; I had one of the lunch specials, and others had the regular orders of Mongolian beef and another chicken. All were great. The atmosphere is peaceful; the restaurant is clean and bright“

“fantastic food with a laid back pleasant vibe, with nice decor and comfortable seating. very personable server names spencer who was spot on with his recommendations.“

“10 stars 🌟 Incredible experience from start to finish. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Very warm and comfortable environment. Extremely clean and open feeling dining space. Truly a neighborhood restaurant that will always make you want to return for more. Singapore noodles were amazing. The staff really was the highlight of the meal. I felt like family at the table. Holly was very friendly.“

“Some of the best dim sum around, easily among the top picks statewide. The flavors appeal to guests of all ages.
I’ve already returned twice within two weeks. It’s an essential spot for delicious dim sum and classic Chinese dishes.“

“First of all, not a dine-in place. All delivery or carry-out, just a counter with a small busy kitchen behind it, older Asian men talking to each other as they cook it up back there, and cranking out only deliciousness for the last 40 years (Its on the site)!!
It's all good, truly, but I think their Pork fried rice is the best in town. Ask for it in the cardboard carton so it stays hot longer!!“

“Generally speaking the food is consistent. House made dumplings and noodles can’t be compared. I should have written something years ago about how great they are. They have another location in Washington Park but I haven’t visited. Overall my family and friends have coming over the years and we are just astonished. It used to be a space where restaurants kept on changing and FWTT has become a staple in Cherry Creek. I hope the community realizes this hidden gem for what it is. Great food, incredible wine and maybe one of the best patios in the area. Pork dumplings and the duck noodles are my go to with a spritz on the patio.“

“Love this place!! Spicy broth is the best and the special sauce is even better.“

“Very friendly and great food for a very good price. I feel welcome when I enter and have had a great experience each time I’ve gone to Chi’s Express. Chi’s appears very clean and sanitary, a welcome change to some other local spots.

The lo mein noodles are the best I’ve had at a by-the-scoop restaurant by a large margin, while the Wontons and Egg Rolls have good taste but aren’t very crunchy… I still like them better than a nearby scoop restaurant with similar prices.

The front of house is always busy during the day so the food is regularly turned over and stays fresh, yet the service is still very fast, both for the pre-made steam table items and to-order meals.

My favorites so far have been the Lo Mein, Orange Chicken and Double Mongolian Beef and Chicken, but I want to try the Volcano Chicken again because the first time I tried it was early in the morning and I think it may have been reheated because it was very tough and I want to give it another shot… As with most similar restaurants, it is probably best to go near lunch time to get the freshest food, especially since they always move fast if there is a line anyways.

I am a big eater, but a single two-scoop combo is still too much for me to finish, but I still sometimes get a three scoop combo and eat half before school, and finish it with the drink for a late lunch, which keeps me fed and satiated for the whole day and keeps me from spending too much at pricy vending machines or ordering delivery!

Some people complain that they add too much rice/noodles to the box, (imagine complaining that you got TOO MUCH food!) but compared to the scoops you get from Panda Express or other local shops, every food portion at Chi’s is very generous, and the container is almost spilling out every time I order! While most restaurants have a measured cup that barely fills the section of the container, Chi’s Express scoops on a much larger portion than any other restaurant would use to fill the two small sections in the to-go container, and the three-scoop combo comes with a generously filled second container that is larger than the side order containers from Panda etc… They definitely do not skimp, and the big side portions are great anyway because they are very delicious.

PS:
I am in no way connected to Chi’s Express… I have simply really enjoyed my new favorite before-school lunch spot that really hits the spot! The economy is tough, and supporting small businesses like Chi’s Express helps keep the community fed for cheap, without putting money into the pockets of the giant corporations that got us into this mess. Buy small, eat big!“

“Absolutely amazing! No wait on a Saturday night at 7:00 was crazy! This place was quick to start your meal, friendly, attentive, and so much fun for my boyfriend and me! 100% recommend!!“

“Wonderfully little mom and pop Cantonese BBQ spot. I prefer this place over takeaway American Chinese food when I'm hungry in a pinch. I like the Char Shu, Roast Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken, and Spicy Tofu. The owners are very nice, work hard, and serve great food.“

“It was a very good lunch. Dined in loved to see the restaurant had regulars, good sign. Food was hot & fresh. Loved the furniture cute, small, simple & clean. Even the restroom was clean always a plus! Food wasn’t pricey, definitely will be back.“

“Once we found this place, it became a regular treat for takeout 🥡. Everything we order is consistently delicious. We've tried a variety of dishes and will continue to have this be our go to place for Chinese food. Plus, the owners are kind and proud of what they serve. Hard to find given the construction, yet definitely worth it.“

“THESE SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE AMAZING!!!! I AM FROM CHINA AND THESE ARE THE BEST SOUP DUMPLINGS IN COLORADO!!!!! INFACT THEY BEAT MOST OF THE ONES BACK HOME!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I DEVOURED THEM BEFORE I GOT A PICTURE!!!!!! THEY AREN'T THE SAD FROZEN THAWED ONES WITH ALUMINUM SKIRTS YOU FIND IN INFERIOR RESTAURANTS!!! THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY, THE FORTITUDE AND DEDICATION TO MAKE THE BOTTOMS OF THE DUMPLINGS THICKER SO THE SOUP STAYS IN THR DUMPLINGS!!! PERFECT!!! YES I AM YELLING!“

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Denver (I’m Chinese American, so I know ball)!!

It’s peaceful and clean inside, and the food SMACKS. We ordered the Mongolian beef (our fave), snow peas with garlic, and chongqing chili chicken - generous portions. Everything was flavorful and amazing. 5/5 - I recommend. We will be coming back“

“We come here probably once a week - no lie. My entire family loves this place and we have never, ever had a bad meal. Literally our favorite place for Chinese in the area!“

“This was my second time here and we love this spot!! The staff is so attentive and kind, the food is delicious, and options plentiful!! They even gave us a gift of fried dumplings and shrimp 🤤 My favorite part is their sauce bar because it has so much to choose from with fun extras like sesame balls, spring rolls, cucumber salad and more! I highly recommend this spot! Forgot to take any pictures because I was too excited to dig it!“

“We were in for lunch, my first time in. Interesting concept, they come around with food carts to your table and you choose what you would like. They also do have a menu with more options. All our food choices were delicious but not many gluten-free options.“

“Food was bomb!!! Also affordable 😁😁😁“

“The soup dumplings, fried dumpling, bao buns and beef and rice were scrumptious.“

“The gentleman at the register is always so pleasant, helpful, happy and enjoyable. I stop in when playing pickleball and it’s been consistently good for 2 years. Super clean location and they keep it cool in here so nice relief in summer.“

“The owners of Wokano must have sold their souls to someone because I had an otherworldly experience eating this food. Best sesame tofu I’ve ever had. Tofu spring rolls pretty standard but they’re massive and come with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce.

They were happy to make the sesame tofu gluten free and they also have lots of vegan options.

Living close to this place is soon to bleed me dry but I can’t even act like I’m not ecstatic about it. I love you Wokano Asian Bistro.“

“The orange chicken was flavorful with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice, while the fried rice was packed with fresh vegetables and generous portions of shrimp. The spring rolls were crispy, light, and delicious. Every item tasted freshly prepared and well-seasoned, showing that the restaurant focused on quality ingredients and authentic flavors.“

“Stellar, stunning, brain-tickling food and drink. Each bite is full of zest and energy and genuinely feels like it’s made with love. Ambiance is A1 too, adorable lanterns and fairy lights adorning the ceiling and boxed poppies lining the outdoor area. Chris was our server and was simply delightful, great at his job, engaging, provided wonderful recommendations based on our silly wants, and made us laugh every time he came to the table. 15/10 experience.“

“Josh was an exceptional server. He had answers to every question we had and made a normal meal into a true experience. Shoutout to Chris who stopped by to check on us and is an amazing personality on the management staff. Great restaurant all around.“

“The food was so good, we came back again two days later! The BEST Orange Chicken I’ve ever had. They make it with real orange juice. Superb! Kung pao chicken was tender and wonderful. Drunken noodles - amazing. Sesame chicken was very good - too many onions though. This is our new favorite. We can’t wait to try everything on the menu.“

“Dining in the service is always amazing and really fast! I always get Lemon chicken, chicken lo mein, fried rice, and egg drop soup. All are so good and a reasonable price! Best Chinese restaurant I’ve come across ever. Love that their lemon chicken is a breast rather than the breaded nuggets! Absolutely delicious!!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“We now live in metro Denver SE and it's been a few years since we dined at Little Ollie's; this time was as great as our last visit. Their lemon chicken is real, unprocessed chicken and the batter is light, flaky, without any heaviness. It adds to the dish, not loading it down. The lemon sauce is light and delicate, hinting its flavor. The owner has always been present and likely her presence assures the quality of food and service we've come to expect.“

“Live nearby , ate here a couple times before but for the 2nd time I got the Chicken Fried Rice ,Spicy. And it is just as good as the 1st time I predicted this. My friend got Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, and fried rice it’s tasty as well. Get some eggrolls as well. For a neighborhood place this place is good, nice staff as well. Yum Lu House!“

“Just looking to get something eat after a shopping trip at Target so decided on giving this place a try and it was the best decision we could’ve made. The food was absolutely delicious. We got brisket pho and the beef & broccoli. It was so flavorful and served so quickly. The person working there was also so kind which made the experience even better. Great service. Will definitely be back and will be telling others about coming here as well!“

“SO YUMMY! My dining companion is not a “trained chef” 😂 whatever below reviewer “Vonna Somethin“ but my partner is picky and we love Peter’s! Our food was delicious and the place was booming with orders so obviously they do things right often if not always! It is the only Cantonese restaurant in Denver that we will order from! The owner is really nice and knows exactly what good service and good meals mean to a person.“

“What a great place. Very hole in the wall. And we're im from thats a good thing. Give them your order and few minutes later great food. No bs just fast and clipped service We got the sweet and sour chicken and beef lo main. We will come again. Those 1 stars have to be fake.“

“Li's has been my go-to Chinese restaurant for years. They have delicious food with plenty of veggies. The sauces are so flavorful; I love the garlic sauces, kung pao and the beef with broccoli dishes in particular. They also have a great hot and spicy soup - great texture and the right amount of spice!“

“Went there today and was very happy with their service and the food was absolutely amazing.“

“The food at Moon River is quite good. The folks working at Moon River are very nice, and the delivery is fast. I often order the sesame chicken, which is delicious, and ample in size. I often have enough leftovers for a fine microwaved lunch the following day.“

“Have had this place 3 times. 10/10 it’s amazing and flavorful food. Vibes are great inside, and mein is a super friendly host. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

This serving sizes are huge here was one of the meals I did take out for.“

“What a great dollar scoop. I mean $1.35. I got there right before closing an all food was fresh an employee's were kind and very generous with the portions. My new favorite spot for my Chinese fast food. If you haven't been here you definitely need to go.“
