Chicken drunken noodles - the spices tasted a bit off

The drunken noodles and walnut shrimp were good. However the sesame chicken was just plain sad. $15 for fried batter bits? Where is the chicken? come on, chicken does not cost that much. Give customers bigger chunks of chicken.

Sesame chicken always hits. Don't sleep on the green beans either. I usually get takeout, but going in person is fun because the owner is a gem.
Thank you

Overcharged, poor quality, and they gave us brown rice instead of fried rice. Overall, disappointing. Great Wall on Colfax is what I’d recommend for a better overall experience

Worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten and so over priced . Owner sleeping at counter mid day No me digas. Ordered “lunch specials” over $25 and more than half of the take out container spaces were rice! The smallest space for the inedible overcooked chicken drowning in gross dark sauce. They Totally forgot the veggies . Ridiculous and I’ve lived in hood for almost 10 years . I gave this place a chance 4 times & all mediocre but this one order so awful and definitely my last! New China Cafe I’ve frequented for over 20 years rules in food quality and price!

My fiance and I have been ordering from Peter’s for the past 2 or 3 years, it’s the only place we get Chinese takeout now. We used to live in the Lakewood area and loved Szechuan (still delicious) but we can confirm that Peters is hands down the best we’ve had. Food is always piping hot and fresh when it gets here, they give generous portions and always get our order right. The sesame chicken is delicious and stays crispy even until the next day if you have leftovers.
They even offer free delivery if you’re in the area so no need to get charged fees by DoorDash - just call them and your food with be there within an hour.
Also, they have no MSG in anything. MSG has never bothered me, but my mom has an allergy to it and I can confirm that she was able to enjoy everything we ordered from Peter’s when she came to visit.
10/10, seriously love this place

Searched for years for the best sesame chicken in town and found it literally years after consistantly using this restaurant. Peter is a hoot. Always enjoy picking up food and visiting with him. Food is quick and always good.

Peter’s is one of the best things about living in the Cheesman neighborhood. There’s a reason he’s been in business for as long as he has. Great food made by great people.

Peter’s is by far one of, if not my favorite restaurant in Denver! The food is incredible and the staff is very welcoming. I used to live across the street and would go literally every other week because I love it so much. I still frequent the restaurant even though I live pretty far now but it’s so worth the drive!!

Peters Chinese Cafe is the best local restaurant in Denver hands down. I have lived in Denver my whole life and not the quality nor service has ever peaked like Peter's has. I love all kinds of Asian food but the Lemon Chicken here is incredible the best I've had compared to others. If you are looking for amazing chinese food for any occasion come to Peter's first.

We had chicken lo mein, sesame chicken, pan fried dumplings, and egg drop soup. By far the best I've had. Food was excellent and service was great.
