19 Best Chinese Restaurants in Denver

“There are some really good Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in Denver: Glo, Ginger Pig, Mister Oso... Hop Alley didn't live up to the hype for me. Everything was good, but not great. The service was fine, and I appreciated the food coming out quickly, but the pace felt rushed. The cocktails were weird twists on bar classics, and we've had better Chinese food elsewhere in Denver. Overall, really glad we tried it, but we'll be sticking to our preferred staples in RiNo.“

“We ate outside. Great atmosphere and perfect weather, but didn't consider how many Harley riders there are in Denver. It didn't matter because everything else was so perfect. The server was attentive and not over present. The food was truly outstanding. It was creative and delicious showing the chef's skills while keeping the budget to reasonable. We try a few new restaurants a week in Denver since moving here from New York and have only been disappointed once. This was an overachiever that caught us by surprise. We've not repeated restaurants because there are still hundreds to try, but this might be our exception. What a delightful treat. We do have leftovers and after writing this am now ready to eat. They are larger portions. Try the Wagyu Lo Mein! OMG!“

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

“Atmosphere is great! Service was excellent! Not loud like most big restaurants. Food was absolutely amazing! Not overly expensive. Make their dumplings fresh. Steak tenderloin and peppers was very good. Outdoor seating area is nice when it is warm. The winter pirk wonton soup is great. I have also never been disappointed with the seasonal vegetables (green beans, broccoli, bok choy). They serve soup dumplings ever so often and totally worth trying if they are available. They have an upstairs that you can reserve for parties as well. I have never been disappointed by anything I get here.“

“Good, almost great. The food is good but isn't very authentic and seems to lean heavily on salt and sugar to make it tasty. Having Chinese characters/Pinyin on the menu (where I was the only Chinese person in the entire restaurant) feels like the food should be authentic. Also, serving rice in a takeout container feels a little offensive given the sacredness of rice as the foundation of a Chinese meal.
However, the spice is nice and the flavors pop well if you're not expecting truly authentic flavors and are used to Westernized cuisine. Definitely above average for Asian food in Denver, but I'd recommend South Federal/Broomfield/Aurora for better and less expensive Asian food.
For the price and all the added service fees, I would have expected full service and food served in non-plastic dishes. It's a nice way to try some dishes without venturing out too far.“

“I am REALLY picky about my dumplings and these are made with artistry, TLC and genuine skill. This is NOT a dumpling factory like Din Tai Fung...these are made with real care and it's reflected in the taste and texture and try and braised beef noodle soup as well as the pork belly bao: Yum!“

“Went here on a whim and I’m glad I did. The inside needs a little love but the food was fast and phenomenal. I got the chicken lo mein, chicken fried rice, and pork dumplings and they were all delicious. The sauce for the dumplings was amazing. Will be 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.“

“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.“

“I have been ordering from New China Cafe for several years now. The food is some of the absolute best in Denver. Everything always comes out so fresh and the flavor is unparalleled. It is my favorite Chinese food in Denver.

Beyond the food, I have witnessed the owners and the staff go above and beyond every time for every customer. In the most genuine way, they make everyone feel like they are their number one customer! These days we take customer service for granted, but their hard work, kindness and service do not go unnoticed.

This will continue to be my go to Chinese food restaurant, not only because of the outstanding food, but because of the service!“

“Ordered delivery while staying in downtown hotel. Was prompt, a huge amount of food making it well worth the cost and absolutely delicious. We had the sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, chicken stir fried mei fun and the beef fried rice. None of the meals were over saturated with sauce and the meat was so tender. We loved all of it and I believe the leftovers will heat up nicely!“

“Tried this place for the first time today and it was excellent! The customer service was genuinely so friendly. The woman who took our order was so lovely and helped me to find what gluten free options were available! I had the chicken and vegetables with white sauce. It was delicious, cooked perfectly, and very affordable given the quality!“

“I could not recommend this place more. Not only was the food fantastic the service was impeccable. I came in with my service dog and party of 8; they managed to serve us all equally without fail. we tried about 8 items in total and they were all fantastic. An amazing spot!!“

“We have been coming here for a couple of months now and love the food. Really good prices and for the amount of food served.

There’s about 3 places closer to us but all have had horrible experiences and this place has been nothing but amazing!“

“This experience was ok! Our waitress was super nice and took care of us pretty well. The menu is really nice. We all got our order in quickly! The biggest bummer was that our food took over 30 minutes and there were only 4 tables in the whole restaurant. A table of 6 sitting next to us got their food before us and ordered after us. When we got our food, it was really good! My soup was so good. We all loved the experience minus the wait on food“

“I love the experience. It was my first time trying that restaurant they were very nice. I love the decor. I love the menu the food taste great.“

“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.“

“I have to say, I've eaten Sesame Chicken all around the US, and never has anyone asked how spicy do I want it. I like alittle spice in my life. I got mine medium spicy, it's perfect. I also like a lot of broccoli, this has plenty of broccoli. The sauce and chicken are very flavorful too.“

“Amazing. Better than places we went to in NYC and Washington DC area. This is authentic cooking that is relatable, flavorful, reasonably priced. Packed for lunch mid-week. Given the prices now of going out, ditch the hipster places and come here.“
