Chinatown Bistro

Not gonna lie, I’m a Chinese food snob and have found it very hard to find good Chinese food in denver since moving here last year. I ordered the General Tao chicken with fried rice along with the hot and sour. The chicken and soup were 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Great flavor and spice! I’ve had better fried rice but it was still good. I suspect getting a full fried rice meal would have more flavor. Overall solid selection. I’ll be going back to try some other options.

Salt & Pepper Beef was a huge disappointment. Unless you like balls of salt and oil with minimal beef that's mostly fatty. My plain lo mein was cold in the middle like it was microwaved. Now I have huge portions of this stuff that I don't want to eat.

Went in to grab my already paid for order and the lady was so incredibly rude... To me. She looked absolutely disgusted at my appearance. I was dressed for my customer service job. Business casual. She glared at me. But was so nice bright & cheery to all 4 other people in the establishment. Guess the major difference between me & them. Anyway. The food was dry but edible. The establishment itself looked clean, but very old. If your ok with people being treated poorly based on their skin color... This is your place. Obviously I wont be back.

I ordered the Mongolian pork. It was very tasty and a little reminiscent of a favorite restaurant of mine from the '90s. The fried rice was so-so; if I were going again I'd just get steamed rice or brown rice. The egg roll was crisp and delicious. Definitely recommend. Only a few seats as this is clearly more of a takeout restaurant (also reminiscent of that '90s restaurant).

I keep wanting to like this place because it's a local business, but the food quality is very inconsistent and seemingly trending downward. Every beef dish I've ordered there has not been good in my opinion, but the chicken dishes were always good. Somehow the white rice is not good, it has the texture and taste of those pre-made rice packets that you put in the microwave. The fried rice is good, though. However, in my most recent visit, I ordered a chicken dish and the chicken was incredibly dry and tough like beef jerky, not even joking, I couldn't chew several pieces. It also looked dry. To be honest, it seemed like it was leftovers from one or more days prior that didn't sell and they just repackaged it when I ordered. I'm not even picky about food, but I'd be embarrassed if I recommend this restaurant to someone and they received a dish as bad as that chicken was. The cheese wontons were also odd, pretty dry and the filling had an unappetizing greenish yellow tint, a color I have never seen in a cheese wonton before. Unfortunately, I've run out of times trying this place hoping that it's good. I hope they become more consistently edible because I want them to thrive as a local business (and I feel like that's a pretty low standard to meet).
