Didn't eat in Did Uber eats - food arrive stone cold and was tasted old - don't know what made it taste bad - tasted no better when I found a microwave at the hotel and warmed it up. They send food to a hotel no utensils to eat it with.

I have hesitated to write this review for too long and in reading the reviews, I see that others have experienced this same exact issue. It's time to put this in writing now that I've experienced the same absurd customer service issue THREE TIMES. At this point, I feel like I'd be doing the community a disservice for not relaying this account because if it's happened to our family this many times, it's certainly happened to others and on a consistent basis. Here's what happened: We placed a large order this evening for our family to accommodate several dietary restrictions. One of the entrees we ordered was over $20 and was missing in our box when it arrived. I called and politely explained that though the entree was listed on the receipt that was taped to the top of the delivery box, the entree itself was actually missing. The woman I spoke to actually ARGUED with me and told me the item was included in the box that she allegedly packed herself. She refused to compensate us, refused to drive the correct order to our home, refused to apologize or even acknowledge the error. Incredibly frustrating after having spent well over $100 plus delivery fees, tax, service charges and driver tip. The woman I spoke to was rude and dismissive and told us we'd have to take the issue up with Door Dash directly. Given this same exact issue has happened to us THREE times, I am now left feeling as though the restaurant is ignoring an issue they are completely aware of and are all too comfortable letting people pay for items they aren't delivering all the while blaming Door Dash. Btw - our box from Door Dash was sealed with tape that I had to open with scissors so I'm certain our driver did not take our food. Add to that, we've never had issues with Door Dash when ordering from any other restaurant. Yes, the food is good, but do I do not recommended ordering from this restaurant if you want to receive the entirety of the food you've purchased.

There's literally a picture of a sit down area and this place is takeout only...

Do not order from this restaurant. They delivered the wrong food and won't give me a credit for the meal. They said I have to take a credit with door dash when they clearly made the mistake by putting the wrong food in the bag. I will never order from this restaurant again.

They do not fry their fried rice, they just add soy sauce to white rice. Salt and pepper chicken is chicken nuggets fried in nasty oil and salt and peppered.W9ntons were only thing edible on a $70 order.Also they charged me for silverware and then didn't give me silverware.DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE JUST GARBAGE!!

We’ve ordered from Little Dragon twice and everything has been phenomenal. Love the sesame tofu and vegetarian eel!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian “eel” dish and most dishes can be made vegetarian with tofu. Fish sauce seems to be marked if it is used.

I can’t speak to the change in ownership or a sudden change in quality, but as of now, their food is definitely better than average! Easily the best Americanized Chinese takeout food I’ve had in a while. Sesame chicken is great (white meat), lettuce wraps are also the best I’ve had, appetizers are better than most, hot & sour soup is by far the best one I’ve tried in Denver (have had 6-7 different places), sauces are good. As far as I can tell it’s a solid option for this style of food! Always pleasant when I walk in! Much appreciation!

The food is legitimately good. It's not a dining restaurant but an authentic takeout style
Little Dragon in Denver stands out as a prime example of an exceptional American Chinese food establishment. This take-out only venue evokes the charm and authenticity of some of the finest Chinese food spots I've encountered in my hometown of Los Angeles. The setup is straightforward: you place your order at the window and wait outside or in your car. A glance from the order window into the kitchen reveals skilled chefs preparing dishes with authentic techniques and flavors, contributing to the overall quality of the food. Little Dragon offers multiple ordering options, including online and phone-in, though online orders may incur an additional fee. The menu is extensive, and I have yet to try an item that falls short of excellent. Both vegetarian and meat-based dishes are crafted with care and are consistently delicious. However, the standout for me is their Sesame Chicken - it's arguably the best I've had anywhere. This dish, paired with their Veggie Fried Rice and egg rolls, makes for an unbeatable meal. Little Dragon's commitment to quality in both food and service truly sets it apart in Denver's culinary scene.

Great local cuisine best Chinese food in the area. Dumplings, fried rice, soup and king pow chicken are all fan favorites. They are easy to order from and fast and reliable. Great takeout spot.

Little Dragon used to be the best Chinese food in the area, hands down. But the last few times it seems costs have gone up, but quality has gone down. And the wait has become so ridiculous that I'm not sure I'll order here anymore - Ordered at 5:40pm and food didn't arrive until 7:30, and I live about2 miles away. No discount, nothing extra thrown in as a "sorry." I do appreciate it's New Years Day and that they're open and certainly slammed, but 2 hours and $60 for Chinese food for 2 people, just not worth it anymore.

I usually love Little Dragon and it is Xmas Eve and super busy. The food wasn’t as well done tonight. I got the wrong type of rice and it was ready beyond the quoted time but quoted time was 1.5 hours later. Wasn’t ready for 2 hours!

This place used to be great. I could always count on my triple delight lomein. Tonight I ordered it but what I got looked and tasted like ramen noodles with a couple of tiny shrimp, hardly any chicken and slices of pure fat not pork. Horrible.
