12 Best Chinese Restaurants in Thornton

“Excellent Sesame Chicken and Very fast and friendly service. I highly recommend the Lunch Menu at very reasonable prices. Good portion sizes and they accommodated my family with Gluten free options. They went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied! I will return and recommend this Place for all occasions.“

“Dining in the service is always amazing and really fast! I always get Lemon chicken, chicken lo mein, fried rice, and egg drop soup. All are so good and a reasonable price! Best Chinese restaurant I’ve come across ever. Love that their lemon chicken is a breast rather than the breaded nuggets! Absolutely delicious!!“

“Phenomenal dining experience. Best Chinese food in Denver. We had the luncheon special for 15.95. The portions were amazing and delicious. The hostess helped out by explaining the dining process. Our granddaughter was a little wild so she volunteered to care for her so we could enjoy our meal. Definitely on our to do list next time in Denver“

“Always yummy!“

“Crystal Island has amazing food and the kindest ownership. We have been regulars for 5+ years and they have consistently delivered high quality food for the entirety of that time. When I call in, I just give my name and they have our order memorized and ready to go super quickly. Emily is an absolute gem of a human. They have changed/improved recipes over the years, but it’s always for the better. I highly recommend Crystal Island!“

“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“

“I ordered a family meal because I got off late from work. My kids wanted panda and it was close by. This place was well maintained and the service was great. It was during a rush so I understood they were going to take awhile. The workers put a lot of effort getting the order ready and having it accurate. The three people working the front did a good job and the cooks as well. My kids and wife were happy with the taste of the food. Very fresh food. The reason I put one star down is that only three people were in front and this location has a drive thru so there should be more people for the wait times could be shorter. My overall experience was good. No rudeness from the workers even during a rush, they got my order correct, and the place was really cleaned. The people that helped me were nice and had great attitude even during a rush. Blanc, Brandon, and Leon had good attitude and service.“

“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!“

“Edit: come here many times. Today I accidentally left my wallet. I dropped it trying to get a soda and I did not realize it... I drove all the way back and the staff had it stored away for me safely.... Thank you so much!!!

Food is decent for the price!!! you get rice, lo mein, two sides with a drink and an egg roll $7.00
I've tried all the fast food Chinese places around here and they all suck so this is my new spot.“

“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.“

“Austin was amazing! He provided great help and friendly service during my visit to Panda Express. He was very helpful, patient, and made sure everything was taken care of. Great customer service thank you, Austin! I really appreciate it and will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
