43 Best Chinese Restaurants in Denver

“An extraordinary meal where four of us basically ordered 90% of what was on the menu. It came out with a speed that was a bit overwhelming and we didn't know what to taste first. But the concept of all dishes being shared and apportioned to the number of guests at the table is already a huge plus: no agonizing over how to split orders - it's already been done. Highly recommend the Dragon Whiskers, Gai Lan, Pork Ribs, Duck Roll, Lamb noodles with neck, with sadly the expensive grilled bass being a pass: it was dry and lacked the anticipated flavor. The service was impeccable. Overall, a great night out!“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“I have lived in this area for 5 years now and kept trying different spots for chinese never really committing but this is my go to now. The food is always good, they give a lot of meat and dont just try to fill the dish out with vegetables. Flavors are good, my only complaint would be that the dishes listed as spicy have absolutely no spice at all and you certainly won't find a pepper so if you like spice ask them to amp it up. They do delivery themselves if you order off their website so you avoid all those 3rd party fees and the man who delivers is very nice. Highly recommend them.“

“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!!“

“This is definitely a good Chinese scoop restaurant. The quality isn’t super like other Chinese restaurants but for the price and quantity it is ell worth and still taste pretty good. I wouldn’t mind coming here randomly here when I’m craving Chinese food just for a cheap meal.“

“Fantastic restaurant. Came here with a friend, just a quiet, unassuming restaurant on a Monday night.
The egg drop soup was delicious, rich in flavor with silky eggs. Prawns in lobster sauce had a wonderful flavor. Plenty of cashews (with an equal amount of celery) in the Cashew chicken. 10/10 for both dishes.“

“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.“

“Incredible little place. Service was 10/10, but honestly there was no way they could upstage the dumplings or noodles. The sausage in the soup dumplings is MAGIC, and the Shanghai Beef Noodles might have changed my life. So simple, but best bite I’ve had in a LONG time.“

“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.“

“Customer service is top tier. I ended up having to call them and request a little more meat, but honestly, they are generous. Both women on the phone were kind and gave me great customer service. 10/10 recommend.

I got a large combo meat pho with extra meat. Delicious. The broth felt a little flat (as a pho enthusiast) but I tasted the potential and time they spent on it. I added just a little bit of salt and it turned top tier.

They were busy, and this was my first time trying them. I would happily go again.“

“We dined in, there are seats for about 10 people. It's mostly a to-go place. I got the king pow tofu. It was actually spicy, which I loved! My partner got the tropical shrimp fried rice and he loved it. The veggie egg rolls are some of the best I've ever had. The dinner portions were huge and we took half of it home. Definitely will be back.“

“it's really good place to go and eat but sometimes they get the ginger sauce mixed up with a different sauce and mess up ur order but the fix it most of the time“

“Was suggested by a peep i meet at a hot springs about 500 miles away. Smells fantastic in here!! There's gonna have to be several return trips. Based off of the smell alone. Love all the multi colored lanterns on the ceiling. Veronica was the hostess. Veronica is great. My waitress is also fantastic. My mocktail also fantastic. I ordered a cink it. The ladies next to me ordered Cheech and Chongs. Erica and Billy are spectacular. It's new years eve. Can't wait till my food gets here. Oh man! Speak of the devel!! I ordered La Zi Ji chicken and Lou Song Tang. Holy amazballs! Both of these items make me tingle with unadulterated glee? I say good show. My mouth is experiencing things and feelings it never has before. Lol what fun. Touche Ginger Pig! We shall meet again....“

“Everything from being greeted happily by the host to the waiter to the delivery of our food was 100% spot on everyone was friendly and professional. We will be back again. Thank you for all your good work and attention to food quality and overall experience. Have a wonderful day.“

“Great experience. Our party of five showed up after 8:00 p.m. after landing at the Denver airport. A lot of times, it seems like service and food quality isn't good that late in the evening but that wasn't the case here. The food was hot and fresh and the service was excellent. If you land at the Denver Airport and are looking for a good meal after 8:00 p.m., this is the spot!“

“LingLon Dumpling House is a delightful surprise! The rave Google reviews and its location to Denver International Airport was enticing The dumplings are delicious, and the soups are even more amazing! I look forward to visiting this delightful, dumpling surprise when I am in Denver again.“

“I am shocked that anyone would rate this place under 5 stars since people are just angry at life I guess. I've been eating here for years but far the best Chinese cuisine I've ever had and it never misses the mark. Small family run restaurant, very friendly and accommodating. Quiet atmosphere, and always far service with hot fresh terrific food. Egg rolls are the best in town and the chicken is always to shelf quality.“

“Seen Phu post on TikTok a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to stop in. Everything was amazing, food, atmosphere, service and pricing! Was very happy to see a nice little crowd for lunch. Even so we received our food fast and it was fresh and delicious! All served with a smile! I got the lunch special with orange chicken and cheese wontons and my bestie got the sesame chicken, everything was so so good and amazing portions for the price!!! Will definitely be back! Thanks Phu!!“

“Grabbed Zume in desperation on my way home from the airport. What a hidden gem! The chicken satay was unbelievably good and the portions were large. Additionally I asked the server to surprise me with a dish and she served the Singapore Curry noodles with chicken OMG so good. They were light, airy but full of flavor. Definitely going to stop by every time I get Costco gas or am on the way back from the airport at lunch or dinner. Also staff was so friendly. Wish I had photos but I scarfed my food down“

“We greatly enjoyed Hong Kong Cafe. We had never been there and we found it on line and noticed that they had very good reviews. We had a great meal for 13 people. The service was courteous, fast and excellent and the food portions generous and delicious. I only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often.“

“I stopped by Happy Café Express for lunch today and was surprised to find the restaurant has completely changed its menu. The owner has moved the old menu to a new spot called Harbor Dim Sum & Cuisine on Alameda Avenue. While the location and offerings have shifted, it’s still under the same ownership, now focusing on using a spoon to scoop classic American-style Chinese food.

My wife and I ordered a spread that included chicken, beef, shrimp, and even a whole fried fish. Each dish was flavorful, satisfying, and served at a very affordable price. It felt like the kind of hearty, familiar comfort food you expect from a traditional Americanized Chinese restaurant.

One highlight was seeing JoJo, the longtime waitress, still working full-time. Her friendly presence adds continuity and warmth to the dining experience.

If you or your friends enjoy the nostalgic flavors of American Chinese cuisine—think generous portions, approachable dishes, and a welcoming atmosphere—I recommend giving Happy Café Express a try. It’s a reliable spot for a casual meal that won’t break the bank.“

“I've been going here for years, foodmis fresh, fast and delicious! Their prices are fantastic and haven't joined many other establishments who have gouged their customers since covid! It's so good I drive from Arvada during a tight 1 hour lunch for takeout. I order the sal n pepper shrimps, fried fish and/or combo fried rice. A coworker favorite is the chicken with garlic sauce and also lemon chicken. Only reason I gave a 4 for atmosphere is that it's only got a handful of seating, so takeout rules. 😃“

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

“I love this place. I used to go here when I worked nearby. Now it’s a bit further away, but I find myself craving it and ordering on DoorDash or for delivery. I really love everything here but the Dan Dan Noodles are great. The noodles are so delicate and the favor is perfect. I always want more bok choy but that might be a me thing.“

“Sooo delicious, and best green curry and Mongolian beef I’ve had in Denver in a very long time! Definitely worth the trip from Littleton.

Other: Perfect portions, fresh ingredients, and super fair prices! Excellent service!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I ordered the Mongolian pork. It was very tasty and a little reminiscent of a favorite restaurant of mine from the '90s. The fried rice was so-so; if I were going again I'd just get steamed rice or brown rice. The egg roll was crisp and delicious. Definitely recommend. Only a few seats as this is clearly more of a takeout restaurant (also reminiscent of that '90s restaurant).“

“Always made fresh and tastes amazing 💯 recommend anyone that loves Chinese food to try this spot and you will be hooked 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“It may not look like much, but his place is a hidden gem. I honestly thought they were closed the first few times i passed by, but i am very glad i gave it a try.

The food here is very good, and the portions are large for the prices they are charging.“

“really great food, good prices“

“Fast service. Great food. They make the BEST egg rolls of all the places I go to. Great Egg drop soup. Only thing I don't like is the Beef and broccoli dish. Too much broccoli, not much meat. But tasty. I mostly get any of the chicken dishes, and I enjoy the shrimp. I spend about $12.00 for myself. But I freeze about half of the order. For another meal. Go! You can order ahead.“

“Food is deliocus and service is good here. Love to come here with friends. Excellent Vietnamese food.“

“The food here was really delicious and fresh! but the customer service fell short. The woman working there seemed to lack basic courtesy — she assumed I was a delivery driver and spoke to me rudely when I confirmed my order. I clarified that it was my personal pickup. A reminder: kindness goes a long way, especially toward delivery drivers and customers alike.“

“If you want the best Chinese scoop this the place to go I eat Chinese 3 times a week and I've had it from arvada,Thornton, aurora, etc and this one by far has the most tasty and good options I think people have to understand different cultures and people just tend to sound more mean or feel like more rude but it's not fine dining as long as I get my 3 scoops I'm good will come here every time“

“Food was on time actually it was early they said it was going to be an hour came in about 15 to 25 minutes food's fresh hot well prepared sesame chicken delicious butterfly shrimp delicious combination rice I ain't got to it but I have faith I know it's going to be good“

“This place is the absolute best Chinese food I’ve had in a while. The shrimp udon is so good and the rice is amazing.

Rangoons/wontons amazing and very good filling.
Orange chicken and sesame chicken is super saucy and good! It is pretty crispy!“

“Most other similarly priced options are pretty low quality, so discovering Little Dragon was a pleasant surprise. The sesame tofu is absolutely fantastic!! Note that their sesame batter is not the usual thick breaded stuff that you might expect, but it's absolutely delicious. This might be most flavorful tofu I've ever had and tender soft too. The sesame chicken had the same light batter and was also full of flavor. The crab wangoons were fresh and satisfying. The portions were surprisingly generous and the pricing is very fair, especially for downtown Denver. The spicy sauces are actually SPICY!! Everything was packaged well (with steam holes for the warm dishes to prevent getting mushy) and was delivered warm. On a Friday night, delivery took just under an hour. Nothing was missing or wrong with the order. Overall, an excellent casual Chinese option. Excited to try more of their dishes!!“

“excellent general sos chicken and the loemain is good as well. good costumer service!!“

“Very friendly staff, hard working people in the front and the kitchen, food is always piping hot and tastes delicious! The prices are the fairest I've seen compared to others thank you please never change your business motto we the public love y'all❤️ 🙏“

“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.“

“This is what you get when you ask the locals who has the good quality food.. I will make a point to come back here whenever I’m in town! 🥵 Spicy Yaki-Soba 🌶️ 🔥 Lup cheong (Chinese sausage), added pork belly, garlic, scallion, ginger, baby bok-choy, tri-color peppers, fresno chili, sambal hoisin, miso Mongolian sauce, soy sauce, pistachio, daikon sprouts, Thai basil, cilantro, SO.
