50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Denver

“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.“

“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.“

“China Beijing is hands down one of my favorite places to get Chinese food! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. But what really keeps me coming back is the people, they are some of the kindest, sweetest people you'll meet. They always make you feel so welcome, and their customer service is truly amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. If you're looking for great Chinese food and even better hospitality, I can't recommend China Beijing enough!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“WOW! Visiting from out of town, went shopping, the Googled 'best inexpensive places to eat' and LingLon came up. These guys make dumplings an art form. Got the sampler and wish I had time to eat more. Fantastic food, highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Jade Cafe is easily one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, packed with flavor, and consistently delicious. Every dish I’ve tried has been well-prepared and full of authentic taste.

Beyond the great food, I also appreciate the owners and their willingness to stand by their values. It’s refreshing to support a local business that isn’t afraid to be true to who they are.

If you’re looking for amazing food and a restaurant run by passionate people, Jade Cafe is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!“

“Too good!! Just moved down here and tried it for the first time, WOW. You can't beat the quality and the price, the coconut shrimp are HUGE and portions of everything are awesome! Great food, saw it won an award for best of Chinese food in 2025 and it did not disappoint. We will be going back, I want to give them all of my money lol“

“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.“

“Stopped by P.F. Chang’s today for lunch and had a fantastic experience. Tanner was our server and he was outstanding — super attentive, had great energy, and really knew the menu inside out. He suggested the right spice level for us and even hooked us up with a couple extras that made the meal perfect.
The Mongolian beef was on point, and the service was fast and friendly without being pushy. Tanner made the whole lunch feel smooth and enjoyable.
Highly recommend — if you go, ask for Tanner’s section!“

“really great food, good prices“

“Chinese here. Decent food quality. Decent I mean good, since there is not too many really good food in the US. The flavor is not authentic I have to say, kind of Americanized. However, I find I liked it. It's less spicy or salty for me, but maybe good for most of ppl. More importantly, I really feel uncomfortable recently going to a restaurant that asks for a minimum of 20% tips in their default setting. This place asked me to choose 3%, 8%? So many ppl lecture me to pay a minimum of 20% tips; and servers and restaurant owners cannot survive these days; trashy ppl tips improperly when eating in a restaurant; customers have to pay for food and service separately; bla bla. Give me a break. Can we learn from this restaurant? I have to give them 5 stars. I will go back more and tip them as a decent client as well.“

“Oh my gosh. Where do I start. First off, the new owners are so friendly and welcoming. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of eating out, I will always come back to this place. My favorites are the Singapore curry noodles (and I don’t even like curry!!) and pad Thai and shrimp fried rice. I always add extra chili oil too. But, my absolutely favorite is the boba. Guys, if you’re going to try a new asian restaurant, come here. The service: 100%, the food 100%. THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE!!!!!!!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“This is a hidden Gem in lakewood. The food is always great! Highly recommended any of the chef’s special shrimp dishes, we’ve had them all. The sizzling rice soup is the coziest soup in the cold months. The place is run by the sweetest family, always happy to see you.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This food was so good, the service was excellent! Even though we showed up late, she invited us to sit at a table and enjoy our meal in the restaurant. We ordered steamed dumplings, pineapple curry, and drunken noodles. Everything was so good, highly recommend the pineapple curry.“

“Customer service and owners are kind and friendly. Food brought out quick. Delicious duck and Pho is exceptional.“

“Good service great food friendly“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Unexplainably good. You must go. The happy hour is good“

“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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is what you get when you ask the locals who has the good quality food..

“I love this spot but it cold 🥶“

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

“I am really happy with the price and portion of the food, and quality is not lacking at all. I could say the hot and sour soup needed a little more sour, but otherwise great and fully loaded with bamboo, mushroom, tofu, all the goodies!
Got all this, Lo mein noodles, Kung pow chicken, crispy noodles, and soup for just under $12. I ate half of this for dinner, (on the pictured dinnerplate is half from those two containers) so could easily be a 2nd meal or feed another person. Great place to check out!

*They also included utensils, napkins, hot mustard, duck sauce, soy sauce, and fortune cookies for free! Excellent!“

“Solid Chinese takeout place. Admiringly I saw them open 1 day a week and wouldn’t pick up phone so I left a wordy review.
The food is the stuff that you’ll crave on any lazy night in. They’re super convenient from downtown and just assume they’re open.

I’ve been multiple times and found them good so it was just odd to see them suddenly gone.“

“The sweetest young lady smiled at me as soon as I walked in and she loaded me up, I had the orange chicken, fabulous, but I love all the hot fresh shrimp dishes ya all had! They were brimming to the top with big shrimp! The cream chez and crab wontons, I haven't seen any crab anywhere on other menus since Chicago, so glad I found this joint! They have a simple faded sign that says, We have been here forever, tried and true! A place I don't mind walking into! Thank you!“

“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“

“good to eat😋“

“This is the most delicious food , we got the sesame chicken , chicken and broccoli, general taos chicken . Wontons and steamed dumplings !!!! I will always come here from now on ! I have not found a great place since we moved from Vail CO and this is our place now !!!“

“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!!“

“Ok, so I ordered delivery late at night.My usual was closed. My life is a mess right now so I need good food in between the chaos. I ordered the cheese wontons, spare ribs,, shrimp with.lobster sauce and chicken fried rice.
So the cheese wontons were good, Chicken fried rice good, lots of chicken! Shrimp with lobster sauce - you want shrimp you got it! Great!

But the ribs were dry and overcooked. I know it was late guys but a little sauce or something to soften them up would have been appropriate.
Thanks.“
