King Pao shrimp was amazing and packed with veggies. Not too spicy. Service and atmosphere were wonderful. Will return! read more

China Cafe - King Pao Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

Not a bad choice for Chinese takeout in the area, but admittedly not my favorite. We got general chicken and some fried shrimp and rice. The breading on the chicken was nice and crispy, but it was a bit dry inside, like it had double fried or over-fried. I really enjoyed the rice, though could have used some veggies in it! The butterfly shrimp was good, but i think they tamped it down for some reason or the other (maybe to help searing?). It them a bit dry. Really delicious egg rolls, paired great with the sweet and sour. I'd definitely recommend these. Overall, not bad, but I'll try something else next time and less fried entrees. read more

Delicious! I ordered Egg drop soup and Thai Basil chicken with Jalapeños. It was incredibly tasty! I will def be back! I was in on Sunday for lunch and the service super fast and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I've only been disappointed when ordering food here. The food is under seasoned, bland and greasy.

So, I picked up my order, got home, no rice. I ordered three entrees. I called and said that I will be back to pick up the rice. They put me on hold for 5 mins to speak to their manager. The "manager" picked up and said "no rice" and I said yep no rice. She said she needed to speak to her manager. I said I don't care who you need to speak too, I'm coming to pick up my rice. Got there, they said, do you have the receipt? Seriously? Finally got the rice, stingy servings. Would not recommend them. read more

A good spot in downtown castle rock. It seems to be very hot or miss on how busy this place is. Like many other places in the couple years, they seem to have had some problems keeping staff...because when it's busy it can take forever, and the portions seem noticeably smaller. On a slow or average day, it is a really enjoyable place. They seem like really good folks so I hope this business makes it. They are really good with the standard "American Chinese" dishes. The cashew chicken is a standout. My kids love the potstickers. They have changed the menu a bit so what used to be called "house chicken" I think might have a new name. read more

Average in every way- wished it was as good as Tasty House. I have tried it every once in a while over the past 15-20 years-

On par with the rest of the Asian restaurants in CR. There's really no standout Chinese place in the area so China Cafe will do. This is our go to Chinese due to proximity to our place in Larkspur. Food is decent and edible. read more

China Cafe was a nice surprise. Castle Rock does not have a lot to offer in the way of Chinese food, but China Cafe fills the bill. We enjoy the Kung Pao Chicken and the Mongolian beef/chicken. The food is yummy and prepared incredibly fast . . . by the time we get there from 5 minutes away it is usually ready. I've had better Chinese, but I've also had far worse. Count on China Cafe to provide you with a good, solid offering, with a friendly greeting and reasonable prices. read more

The dumplings were decent. Lo-mein noodles were on point. Fried rice and teriyaki chicken was mediocre. We don't live nearby so we would not travel back here for it but wouldn't say it's bad either. read more

We ordered a month ago and the food was fabulous. Tonight not so much. Sweet and sour chicken came with no sweet and sour sauce. And no chicken inside. Couldn't eat it because it was so over fried. Vietnamese egg rolls came with no filling. Just the shell. I think it was so over fried the filling disintegrated. The kung pao chicken was good. Will not return again. read more

I ordered China Cafe for delivery and it's delicious! Additionally, I had ordered a Thai tea but they called to tell me they thought the quality of the tea wasn't good so replaced it with egg rolls - what great customer service! Will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Great good. High prices. Not a lot of options here so this will fit the bill. Will recommend

I love the food here. We've only done take out several times so far. Pot stickers, pork fried rice, hot and sour soup, and lots of other goodies. And the owner is an especially nice lady who is doing a super job making this a go-to place. read more

We're new to the area and this was the third Chinese restaurant we visited in the area. So good that we took our daughter back the next night to try other dishes. Friendly staff and owner, great portion sizes, good prices. This will be our "go-to" Chinese restaurant in Castle Rock! read more

I'm sorry to say my first time here was a huge disappointment, ordered the lunch specials, one was chicken chow mein with fried rice and the other was sesame chicken with fried rice along with a Thai tea, the fried rice taste like white rice, no flavor, no veggies, just a brown color with one tiny piece of egg. The chicken chow mein was the strangest thing, I never seen crunchy noodles over chicken before, I was expecting soft noodles like pasta that's been cooked. They were stale too and tasteless, I moved them to the side. The sesame chicken was dry, not enough sauce, flavor was OK, not the best not the worst. The Thai tea was in a small glass bottle not homemade. read more

It was open and near a freeway exit Honestly, we were driving through on our way to Denver and needed a non fast food lunch where we could sit and eat inside. The people were nice and food came out in a timely manner but was pretty average. I ordered a chicken low-mein and was pleased although it seemed extra greasy. The egg drop soup was spot on. My partner was not overly impressed with what they ordered and did not finish it. We tried boxing up and eating it later but it doesn't age well. Eat it immediately or don't eat it at all. Portions are large. read more

Lomein was not tasty at all and plain. The noodles were thick and distasteful. The sesame chicken was too tough to cut or chew, the egg rolls are soggy and bitter. The beef tasted bad in the beef and broccoli. The wonton soup was the only item we liked. read more

Excellent food (especially the moo shu chicken); good sized portions. What you expect from a great Chinese restaurant. Wish they delivered! read more

We ordered food from here last night and we loved it! The orange chicken has good flavor, and the bbq pork in the bbq pork fried rice was delicious and didn't taste a tad gross like other places I've gone to. read more

Nice surprise! Honestly, this place was so good, much better than I anticipated as the outside does not look great. The prices are great, and large portions. read more

Great service on a busy night. Food was awesome!! Highly recommend trying this place out!

Food was very good and on time!! General Tsao's Chicken had a Great flavor. Vegetable Fried Rice had plenty of vegetables compared to some. Good Food!! read more

Typical ok food quality for local take out Chinese. Lots of choices. Nice on the phone. Fills the gap when you don't want to cook. Its really the standout place like this in Castle Rock. The meat seems to be higher quality where places like Toss Cafe are bit sketchier. read more

If your looking for good Chinese food I suggest going here China cafe great food believe me when I say that. Best Chinese food in Castle Rock great flavor fresh ingredient s you won't be disappointed. read more

So delicious!! Was looking for a takeout lunch spot close to my office and stumbled upon China Cafe. I was a little leery at first because it only gets 3 stars on Yelp but I decided to read them because sometimes stars don't tell the whole truth. Come to find out it's under new ownership and the most recent (good) reviews are spot on! Liyan runs the front of the house and her husband is the chef. The food is authentic and delicious and the menu is huge! They do both Chinese and Thai style cuisine and they make their own dumplings!! I ordered the jalapeno chicken and it had just the right amount of spice, tons of healthy and delicious vegetables and juicy chicken. I'll definitely be going back for more really soon. If you're looking for healthy, authentic and delicious Chinese in Castle Rock, China Cafe is your spot! read more

We love China Cafe. It's the most convenient place to order out from when my husband and I work later than usual. Tonight 12-27-22 was one of those nights. Thank you for the delicious food! read more

I had the kung pao chicken. I liked it. Great flavor, plenty of chicken and lots of fresh vegetables. I ordered takeout and it was hot and ready when I picked it up and well packaged. I'll order again. read more

Out of the Chinese places in Castle stock this one is my favorite. I usually order Jalapeño beef or Mongolian beef the lo me in the best here. read more

Have had their Sesame Chicken and it is good (probably my personal favorite). Had Beef (tried Sesame, Hunan, Kung Pao & Szechuan if I remember) and these are varying levels of ok to good (thinking I enjoyed the Hunan and Kung Pao the most). Hot & Sour Soup is ok and better than a lot of places as there is some nasty Hot & Sour Soup out there in restaurant land. . Vegetable Egg Rolls are tiny and not the best value but taste ok. Never have dined within and always take out, so cannot comment on table service. read more

First time here, visited on a slow day. We enjoyed the sesame chicken, with good size chicken pieces versus primarily the crispy coating found at other similar restaurants. The cheese wontons had very little cheese and there was no dipping sauce offered - so the wontons were very dry and flavorless. The egg rolls had a funky bitter taste, not good. The egg drop soup lacked flavor, needed spice. May return for the sesame chicken! read more

Ordered take out, disappointing. All I ordered was swarmed chicken and steamed rice and I got soggy, over saucy breaded chicken. Didn't even seem fried....flavor wasn't good either. Then when I got to the bottom of my rice, 2 black hairs. So disgusting! Won't be going back even if they offered a free meal. Hoping I don't get food poisoning. read more

Great service. The guy is a hard worker and an amazing cook. Best Chinese in Castle Rock

New management improves the food. Ordered the orange chicken lunch for $8.25 and it was much better than years before. The coating is now thinner where before the breading was thick and gummy. Was amazed that the plate was piled with chicken with only a few pieces of onion and bell pepper. Will try the $11.95 dinner version of their orange chicken, order it to go, add a chopped stir-fried onion to it to bulk it up and spread it out for three diners. The lunch hot and sour soup was good (the Imperial Chinese restaurant on 431 S. Broadway, Denver, really makes good hot and sour soup) along with the egg roll. Chinese hot mustard goes well with the egg roll as well as the orange chicken. The friendly waiter asked how I was doing when I had tears streaming down my face from the mustard. Fighting back the corkscrew vapor twisting up my nose, I replied, "It's perfect." read more

Our go-to for takeout! Their delivery service is quick! Portions are large, plenty for 2-3 people

New owners. Much better. Great people. Good food. Lived in C.R. for years. Seen several different proprietor's. The food on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 9. That's because it's not fine dining. They do a kickass takeout during this COVID-19. read more

We had the sesame chicken, the orange chicken and the Thai basil w/ beef and they were all DELICIOUS!!!

You must expect the rule of "three" here. Every three year the ownership/management will change and the people you see out front will be different Every three weeks the food quality and taste will change. Try this .... order your favorite dish today. Order same thing three weeks from now. Might taste good, might taste terrible. No one in there controls what is coming out of that kitchen. Absentee management! read more

Do not order from here. Period. Waited an hour for delivery, nothing. Called and was told it would be another 40 minutes for delivery or I could come pick it up and it would be ready in 15 minutes. Went to pick it up and sat there forever, another 30 minutes at least. I'm convinced we never wouldve even gotten our food had we not gone to pick up. On top of that we got a half ass apology and was on my way. Save yourself some time and find another Chinese restaurant in the area. read more

Ordered delivery last night, Friday, Nov 13th, 2020. Food was piping hot, really good, and packaged well. Looking forward to a visit to the restaurant for dinner. read more
