Kings Land is mostly known for its dim sum, rolled through the banquet room-sized space on trolleys, along with the traditional tea. Sweets are particularly good here, so once you’ve had your fill of taro cakes, chicken feet and pork buns, don’t skip out on the egg custard tarts. But to see this place as […]
Little Ollie’s has held down its corner of Cherry Creek for over two decades, and it never stops making improvements. Over the years, sushi and more healthful items, like dishes that focus on local ingredients, have been added. But the classics remain some of the favorites of the Little Ollie’s regulars – fried dumplings; Peking […]

Chef/restaurateur Troy Guard isn’t content with the status quo. His Lowry outpost of bubu may not always have been packed to the rafters, but it certainly had its fans. Guard had his ear to the ground in east Denver, though, listening for what the neighborhood needed – and that turned out to be Chinese food […]
Chef Kenneth Wan grew up as a restaurant kid – his parents are from Hong Kong and opened a Chinese American joint after immigrating to the U.S. He and his wife, Doris Yuen, started slinging Hong Kong-style French toast in NYC before moving to Colorado and opening Meta Asian Kitchen inside Avanti in 2019. In […]
This strip-mall spot on the Denver-Aurora city line offers a typical roster of Chinese dishes that appeal to the American palate: lo mein, fried rice, beef and broccoli and the like. They are all done well, but we recommend diners skip to the section of the menu labeled “Traditional Chinese Entrees,” where they’ll find more […]
This joint has the best name of any local buffets, as well as the best logo: a creepy, grinning, big-eyed panda with a knife and fork in his hands. Mr. Panda is spotlessly clean and bright, and everything on the multiple buffet tables — which hold more than a hundred items — is piping hot […]
Denver’s currently on a hot dumpling streak, and Nana’s has stood out among the new options since opening in the former longtime home of Old Major in LoHi in October 2023. It’s since added offshoots in Boulder and Aurora, but we love the bustling energy of the Tejon Street spot. You may have to wait […]

The traditional Chinese menu isn’t exactly hidden at New Peach Garden; the dinner menu touts such family-style dishes as cumin lamb, tomato with egg, and something called “homeland tastes” – a combination of saut
While there’s a section on the Noodles Express menu called “America’s Popular,” that’s the least interesting part of this counter-service joint, which opened in February 2020. The bulk of the menu is a long list of Szechuan selections, and that’s where your focus should be. Many of these dishes are heavy on mouth-numbing Szechuan peppercorns […]
The kitchen at P.F. Chang’s is a machine, pumping out plates by the thousands every day, each one perfectly in line with the corporate recipes that have made this one of the most successful chains in the country. Fortunately, some of those plates — like the fat shrimp dumplings and Cantonese roasted duck — would […]

The Palace is like a veiled citadel hidden in plain sight, a secret fortress protecting a big secret. And that secret is great food, including dim sum on the weekends and prix fixe lunch and dinner specials every day — along with a large regular menu that’s heavy on all the standards done much better […]
Paradise Asian Cafe is an austere, simple place, tucked away in an Aurora strip mall that caters to a mixed bag of Asian families, American families, Asian-American families and anyone else who happens to stumble across this restaurant amid all the big-box hardware and grocery stores, insurance offices, beauty parlors and liquor stores way down […]
Since 1985, Peter Chan has overseen the action in the Congress Park neighborhood from his small eatery, where both he and his take on Chinese American fare have become a staple. When the craving for sesame chicken or moo shu pork strikes, give Peter’s a call (you won’t find it on any delivery apps). Most […]
