29 Best Asian Restaurants near Thornton

“We ate here for the first time yesterday! Right off the bat the service was immediate and entertaining, as the robot cat showed us to our seat. My 4 year old loved it!! The food was so delicious, even my picky child devoured it. Highly recommend the tempura rolls as they were perfectly crispy. We will absolutely be back!“

“These guys are amazing! I’m actually so sad because I moved 30 minutes away and can’t come down here often enough.“

“Love this place“

“The best wontons I’ve had!“

“Really good spot to grab a meal! The prices are very reasonable during a time where a lot of restaurants are raising their prices ($11 for 10 dumplings and ~$13 for a noodle dish) and the food is delicious. The dishes taste homemade and aren’t too greasy or heavy as some other mainstream Chinese places often are; portion size was generous! They have a nice selection of drinks as well. The restaurant space is well decorated, spacious, and comfortable to eat in. They have a lot of charging ports too and a bathroom.“

“Everyone there was so kind! Amazing service and super fresh food that comes out nice and hot. I recommend the crab cheese wontons as they were the best one I’ve had to date! They gave us a green tea cake for free since it was our first time visiting. I also recommend the green tea cake (super moist and just the right sweetness). Would 10/10 recommend and we will be going back.“

“Really fun restaurant. The broths were delicious and the meat, veggies, tofu, seafood, noodles, etc were fresh and wonderful. Really good kimchee, too, and lots of sauces. All you can eat. Korean beer, soju, and wine available. Kdrama playing on screen! Too brightly lit on a Saturday evening - that's why I gave it 4 stars for atmosphere.“

“Long wait times but worth it for the flavor!!!“

“Soooo good! I crave this place weekly! I saw bad reviews about the beef hot pot but I thought it was delicious! The beef is supposed to be cooked prior and dipped in their house sauce. The house sauce is perfect for dipping and all the veggies and add ons in the hot pot were great. I can barely finish it every time because there’s so much so it’s two meals for me. Their Thai hot pot is also one of the my favs and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the owners are so sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“If I could give you a thousand stars I would. I love this place so much! It’s our absolute favorite, I’ve ordered pho, panang curry, pad Thai, crab cheese wontons and thai tea and I have to say every single item on this menu is 1000/10. You literally cannot go wrong with this Thai food. Best Thai food in the denver area by far!!! The owners are an amazing couple and just an all around amazing local business.“

“Uncle Henry’s continues to fire on all cylinders, maintaining its place as the best fresh, authentic Szechuan/fresh roasted duck & pork Restaurant in the north suburban area. Every dish we’ve tried for more than a year has been richly flavored, well executed, and served at an ideal temperature. The husband & wife team who run the place are gifted chefs, as well as friendly, helpful, and very hard working, as is the rest of the small staff. This storefront restaurant has now become solidly and regularly very busy, which it well deserves. Try it, and try multiple dishes on and off the menu. These folks are running a top small restaurant, and their success is based on all the right things. Kudos to the Westminster Uncle Henry’s!“

“The food was very good, and the portions were generous. We really enjoyed the dumplings and fried rice. The only issue was that the “Open” sign wasn’t very noticeable. We thought the restaurant was closed and almost gave up after walking quite a distance. Other than that, everything was great. I’d definitely recommend it.“

“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.“

“This is where the magic happens!“

“really great food, good prices“

“I had the veggie and tofu lomein and I added broccoli and snap peas 😍😍😍 BEST vegan food I have EVER had at an Asian restaurant!!! I got to talk to the chef that explained the lomein is a Vietnamese lomein. He cooked it PERFECTLY. it was not over or under sauced. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. The tofu was also cooked to perfection. It was a slam dunk! ALL THE WAY! I forgot my leftovers and literally drove back to the restaurant hoping they hadn't thrown them away and luckily they hadn't .. it was that good! Can't wait to go back, I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The gentleman at the register is always so pleasant, helpful, happy and enjoyable. I stop in when playing pickleball and it’s been consistently good for 2 years. Super clean location and they keep it cool in here so nice relief in summer.“

“The staff here is very friendly and the portion sizes are huge! We ordered the dinner for two and had enough left over for another meal. I have rated the quality of food a four star, only because I have had some exceptional Chinese food in my travels. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Eh sido cliente frecuente y ninguna vez me eh llevado una decepción en ningún sentido ni en el sabor ni en el servicio, y es una excelente opción cuando estoy cercas de ellos.“

“I haven’t had Chinese food in probably 10+ years since it’s never gluten free so I was excited to try this! Pretty damn yummy if I (and the hunky Asian on the wall) say so myself. They also threw in a free egg drop soup that was delicious. Take my review with a grain of salt since I don’t have much Chinese food to compare it to recently… but it was good enough for me to keep their 5 star streak going!“

“I can only attest to the quality of the food as we only order for delivery. However, the food here is top notch! Fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection every single time. We’ve ordered from this place 3 times in the last week! They deserve all the hype and more. 10/10“

“Very cute, relaxing restaurant! The staff were friendly and tentative and the owner himself was the biggest sweetheart.

As for the food, I ordered the black tonkotsu ramen and the pork dumplings, and they were delicious and filling!“

“I used to default to burgers or pizza on DoorDash in my past life, but this spot completely changed my routine. Now I order their tofu bowls.

The tofu is super flavorful, cooked perfectly, and actually feels like a satisfying, hearty meal (not just a “healthy alternative”). And the sauces are amazing, they really bring everything together and make it crave-worthy.“

“went for the first time yesterday. got that curry soup which was good (well order again not too sweet like coconut curt can be sometimes) but I asked for my rice on the side since it was to- go. rice was left off :( also, there was a little piece if eggshell in my soup. I was so glad that was at the end bc my feelings would have been hurt if I found it before I was just about finished eating. my daughter had a Cali roll that she said was good. and a kid's bento box. the Ramen was a bit dry IMO but everyone liked it fine. good mango lemonade. I did an Arnold Palmer with mine.“

“Came in thinking this would be forever since the line was long nope within 5 minutes I was ordered & brought my food! Very clean the workers were picking up as soon as guests left a table! All in all 5 stars!“

“They are takeout only. We only get Chinese food from them because they have vegan marked on their menu and it feels like the food is actually vegan. They make lo mein with rice noodles so they don’t have eggs. I like that they have sesame chicken.  Updated from previous review on 2026-04-18“

“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!!“

“I love this place! The food is always so good and healthy. The service has always been fantastic and very inviting. Definitely recommend!“
