11 Best Chinese Restaurants in Thornton

“We just moved to the area a few weeks ago, and we're still trying to find some great places to eat on our Friday night out.
We came across Blue Bay Asian Cafe tonight, and we were amazed.
The restaurant is clean, service was amazing and the food was hot, fresh, and fantastic.
Great Place.“

“They have a healthy section on the menu where everything is steamed and then you just add a little bit of sauce afterwards to the degree that you want. Fantastic if you're on a diet or restricting certain food intake. I have an allergy to garlic and onion and they are willing to work around this.“

“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.“

“Always yummy!“

“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“

“Fun place with a ton of add-ins. We ordered the spicy and tonkatsu broths. I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy but the tonkatsu was good.
We also tried almost every vegetable and a ton of meats. All were good, but it was a bit stressful trying to finish everything on the table (to avoid any additional charges)“

“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.“

“Delicious and Reliable Chinese Food!
I absolutely love this place! The Chicken Lo Mein, Sesame Chicken, and Beef with Broccoli are my go-to dishes — always flavorful and satisfying. Everything on the menu looks great, and it’s hard to go wrong. Whenever I’m in the area, I make a point to stop by. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!“

“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!“
