The food was very good. They were swamped and still handled it very professionally. Probably one of the best hospitality we've received at any restaurant

Even though they were really busy the waitress was still very attentive and the service was good pace. The environment was lively and staff were pleasant. The food was pretty good with large portions. I just wish they would have a lunch special for Sundays. The weekends is when I usually go out to eat so for me it would make since but for restaurants I can see it being more about profit. Only thing I was kind of disappointed about. Other than that I would go back to eat there but maybe during the weekday.

Had to order food to feed a group during a medical emergency and spent money I didn’t have with China Lantern buying several items, appetizers and entrees.
The apps were great. Delicious. Fought over because the entrees were downright nasty.
Beef lo mein swimming in grease/oil, with hacked up noodles an inch or two long - like the dregs of a lo mein chafing dish at the all-you-can-eat-buffet that make you want to wait til the fresh batch comes out.
1/2” super-thin pieces of beef I had to dig to even find, so fatty I had to swallow them twice: first the piece I wanted to swallow then the other half dragged along by fat I couldn’t chew through. I ate two pieces and decided the slimy meat didn’t merit the choking risk.
Shrimp fried rice, smelling so much like yesterday’s fish, even indiscriminate children who eat off the floor, and for whom the special treat was ordered, wouldn’t eat it.
None of us wanted it, nor did I want to waste both the food and the money. We passed it on, still hot, to unhoused people who would actually appreciate it. If I was hungry enough and it was handed to me free, I’d have eaten it, too.
Problem was, the nasty portions of the meal cost me $40++. Surely, I thought, we can get a credit or something. Maybe they have a newbie chef.
I don’t write reviews often, and they are typically to glow about something rather than complain. I’d rather reach out and see how we can remedy it together. I’m a very loyal customer, new to town, and need a go-to spot. So, I phoned.
I was calm and pleasant - for about two minutes, one of them on hold.
That call was genuinely ridiculous. Like arguing math with a hated in-law you don’t want to talk to anyway.
I say, “The lo mein just wasn’t good, swimming in grease … “ Interruption.
“It’s not grease. We only put oil on it.” (Oh. Swimming in oil. Much better.)
“It was mushy, clumpy and hacked up, and there was barely any beef, I say.”
I shouldn’t expect beef lo mein to have much beef, she schooled me, it’s only supposed to have vegetables “but you Americans…” T actual F you just say?
Sliding past that I say, “You charged me separately for the beef. There should be at least be some visible - whatever.
“The shrimp fried rice. The shrimp was very fishy.”
“Fishy,” she states. “Yes, fishy, like yesterday’s fish instead of today’s fresh shrimp!” my voice rising in tone and volume in direct proportion to the offense I was taking to her defensive bullshit.
“Even the kids couldn’t-“ Interruption.
“Did you order through Door Dash?” she challenges. I brace myself for the inevitable deflection.
Of course I freaking did. They don’t offer their own delivery for online ordering. I should pretend she’s not aware of this and take her seriously?
“It’s not them I have a problem with,” I say. “The food was nasty!” I’m now seriously frustrated and getting pissed.
“I just spent a lot of money for food we couldn’t eat -“ Interruption.
“It’s Door Dash. They mark up everything 35%. That’s their high price not ours.”
I’m about ready to come over the line at her.
Enough lack of accountability, enough disrespectful argument, enough total disregard for me and the quality of your food. Eff you, lady.
OK, I told her. I’ll just leave a review instead. Click. And click - POST.

This is the best Chinese food I've had in Pueblo. They have a huge selection, and the service is fantastic. Get the lunch specials. Great value and lots of food.

Omg where do I begin?! I got the beef lo mein. Excellent beef tender, noodles cooked JUST right, not over cooked and mushy and not undercooked and crunchy. But my absolute favorite is the pork fried rice. Oh man. I'm thinking about trying to get a job there Just so I can be around that rice all the time- sh!tz that good! And girls there are awesome too. The only thing that would make the whole experience better would be the price. A full order of pork fried rice is just a bit steep at $15. I hardly ever go to a chain resturant choosing instead to support local businesses. I go to China Lantern about twice a month and the place is so good that I'm sure there's some folks that go in way more often. It would be kinda nice if they had some coupons available to those whom are loyal. But no matter cuz again it's THAT GOOD!

A Pueblo staple. Good food cooked and served by good people. Competitive prices, located in the heart of town. Kung pao pork dinner is my go-to. If you like fried chicken, theirs is great,but there is a wait, like for all good things. Yes you can order online or on the phone.
Parking: Tight, 6 spots in alley like lot next to building on east side.
