11 Best Chinese Restaurants in Thornton

“By far the best Chinese around

Edit: wanted to add that I love the variety, quality and amounts of vegetables they include in their dishes. So many Chinese places around here just add some sad obviously frozen broccoli to every dish, but here you get a lot of variety and I love it.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place is great. We've been going for about 2 or 3 years now and each time we are met with incredibly kind, quick and attentive service. The waitstaff are all fabulous, and the food is just as good. We've been to a few hot pot places, and this one stands out by a mile.

The cherry ontop is the Kung Fu Tea right next door. 😉
Thank you HPS for being so great at what you do!!“

“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“

“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.“

“I always appreciate coming here. If you are looking for something quick, and yummy I definitely recommend the rice noodles and sesame chicken combo. The owners are very kind and I have never left disappointed after eating here. Everything is always served fresh for the customers.“

“Decided to check this place out despite all the bad reviews. And I am BLOWN AWAY by how good food was.

I went in with low expectations and was flabbergasted by how good the food was. (And yes the chicken tastes and looks like real chicken to me)

The $1 scoops seem to no longer be a thing but it's only 6 bucks and some change for a meal box which isn't bad.

5 stars from me“

“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!“
