11 Best Chinese Restaurants in Thornton

“Got take out from Blue Bay for the second time.
I tried the twice cooked pork and the combination lo mein on the lunch menu. I definitely enjoyed the noodle dish better. I also ordered the meat egg rolls, much better than the vegetable. I will probably return about once a week as it's pretty the only restaurant in the area that's not fast food. The lady who works the front is super nice and gets me my order as soon as it's done. Darn Good Chinese Food.“

“I stopped by Panda Garden Chinese Restaurant and really enjoyed my meal. The Pork Fried Wontons are homemade, crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside — you can tell they’re freshly made. The Fish with Garlic Sauce was tender, with just the right amount of garlic flavor, and the vegetables were fresh and tasty.
The service here is friendly and efficient, the place is clean, and it’s in a convenient location. A nice spot for a good, fresh Chinese meal.
I definitely will be back!!“

“Always yummy!“

“An update: Two years later and this is still our favorite Chinese restaurant, plus it’s been all updated. New paint, booths, and floor. It’s all very nice and clean. And we still love the food and the friendly service that we get.

Our favorite Chinese restaurant. Food is always good, fresh, and reasonably priced and the service is excellent.“

“We were so happy with our experience here. The restaurant is clean, well-organized, and very comfortable. The staff are ridiculously attentive and helpful, anytime we were running low on food, someone stopped by to check if we needed anything. The quality really stands out too: both the meat and produce were exceptionally fresh. You can tell they care about both service and ingredients. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Love this place. Food options is similar to the other local joints. The owners are friendly and the food servings are massive. I got all this for less than $6, the soda adds $1.25, so less than $8. 10/10 would recommend.

I get white rice, rice noodle and orange chicken 10/10“

“My wife and I have been eating at Heaven Dragon in Thornton for 30 years., and I have always ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan chicken. I don't know who the chief was on 8/19/2025, but that was the without a doubt, the best I have ever had! I rarely give reviews out for any restaurant, but I thought today to be an exception. Whoever you were, I congratulate you on your exceptional skill as a chef I“

“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!“

“As a frequent visitor to Panda Express, I found the food here to be a little weird to the taste. The fried rice that day lacked flavor, but had a burned taste to it. Service was fine as usual. Establishment was clean and well kept. Tables were also clean for a busy lunch time visit.“
