    I understand that expectations for food at any airport should be managed accordingly but the Mongolian Beef dish I got here was one of the worst fast food style Chinese dishes I've ever had especially considering that I paid around $18 just for the entree. The rice was arguably the worst part of the dish. It tasted and felt like it had been left out for a day or so. You know it's bad when the rice is room temperature and clumped together and dry. The Mongolian Beef had a decent ratio of veggies and meat but the sauce was odd. Definitely not the normal Mongolian Beef sauce and it just was not tasty. Looking around, it seemed like everyone else was not enjoying their food either.

    This is a pretty good place to get some. Chinese takeout before boarding your flight. Despite the cafeteria aesthetic, food is constantly being prepared so everything is pretty fresh.

    It's all about food quality. Like many Chinese "fast food" places, the quality of the food is suspect. I had their Orange Chicken dish with steamed white rice. I also asked for a couple of Crab Rangoons (although they spell as Ragoons on one of the menus). The chicken felt spongy and almost non existent and the dish was extremely sweet. The rice was dry and overcooked. The Rangoons were ok. The employees were nice and polite and kept the area clean. All in all, you can do better within the Denver Airport for food experiences.

    Every eatery was packed with long lines, desperate for something in the stomach I make a big mistake - did not check the ratings and assumed this was like Panda Express. Got yhe mongolian beef with fried rice plus potstickers. Excessive oily, salty, half cooked and fried rice was soggy. Potstickers were soaked in grease and oil. Ate two bites and the rest went into the garbage. Morale of this story: at least look up where you are eating first (Yelp it!).

    Bland

    Food was bland, all-around. Singapore noodles was mostly noodles and not enough curry. Hot & sour soup just didn't taste all that. Overall, just overpriced lame cafeteria food in a loud airport.

    Not even close to "lomein." It's just noodles in tasteless broth with a few chunks of dry tasteless chicken.

    Absolutely awful! I could do a way better job cooking such bland tasteless "lomein." The chicken texture was so dry and tasted "boiled!" It literally sucked the moisture out of my throat and made me choke! This food might be hot, but it has ZERO flavor and is a ton of noodles but barely any meat and the meat is dry with zero flavor also. Also, what little "stir fry" veggies they put in it they didn't "stir fry" AT ALL! They were 100% RAW! Paid 14.00 for an awful meal of tasteless ramen noodles basically! I could have done better at Walmart for .99 cents and it would have even tasted better!

    They serve the food to you like you are an animal. This is the Mongolian beef btw

    The most disgusting food at the Denver airport. And they serve it like they just put the rice over the meat and there was no meat just a whole bunch of onions and mushrooms in the Mongolian beef. The fried rice they charge me 2.00 extra for looks like and the food taste like too. The staff is rude too. Don't waste your money. Go to Qdoba

    Chicken lo mein
    Jennifer H.

    Food was ready quickly. But not the best lo mein to be honest. Plus the dish is wildly salty.

    Service was fast but unfortunately this place served me raw chicken. Will not be returning.

    Orange chicken

    The food smelled great and the prices were not too bad for airport food but oh no the first bite told me everything I had to know. The noodles were hard and cold, they had no taste and almost tasted rancid? As if they had made them days ago and never refrigerated them. The orange chicken was hard, no taste of orange or saucy like what I'm used to. I understand airport food is a hit or miss and I fly often and always eat at the airports but this meal has to be the worst I've ever had anywhere. The cashier was very nice though.

    Mongolian beef

    I can't remember the last time I gave a 2 start to any place... but I guess here it is. I usually get Asian food at airports, so I decided to try this place. The menu is pretty limited, but had the standard options - teriyaki grilled chicken, hot and sour soup, orange chicken, etc. each dish was around $12-14. I got the Mongolian beef and it was, well... Mongolian beef, bamboo shoots, onions, green onions, and white rice. I could actually taste the graininess of the sauce. It was a bit weird - the rice was hot, but the beef was warm. The dish had a nice kick to it, but with the sauce and warm beef, I couldn't bring myself to finish it. It's kind of in a food court environment. There are many places to sit around. But I found myself looking over at the Qdoba nearby as I ate my Mongolian beef dish... Next time I'm in this airport, I'd try eating somewhere else.

I ordered the Pork Water-Fried Bao and the Spicy Ground Pork over rice. Both looked great; but alas, both dishes were unaccountably bland. I'm not a 'five alarm fire is a great flavor' kind of guy but when a dish says 'Spicy Ground Pork', it better have more zip than communion wafers. Average it out, and this place scores a 3 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good.

I am so glad that they are so consistent and have not changed recipes or adjusted seasonings. Ordered our two favorites - pickled pepper beef and mapo tofu. Then the string beans and a new dish - sauerkraut fish filet. The sauerkraut fish filet reminded me of the Vietnamese catfish soup but no sweetness added. Very good dish and will def order again. Also love that they have quality rice here.

    Decided to come here because I was craving Chinese food and heard good things about this place…read more Figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the fried tofu (with peppers and onions), orange chicken, fried fish fillet, and veggie delight (mixed veggies). The fried fish fillet was definitely the standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a light, tangy layer of sauce that added flavor without making it soggy. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. The fried tofu was also really solid and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The peppers and onions complemented it well without overpowering the tofu itself. The orange chicken was okay. I tend to compare orange chicken to Panda Express (probably unfair, but it's my benchmark), and this one didn't quite hit that same balance of crispiness and sauce. I think if it had a bit more meat within each piece, would be better. The mixed vegetables were decent but not something I'd order again. They felt a bit drenched in sauce and didn't have much depth in flavor. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting an elderly woman who helps out when it gets busy. She mentioned she was the former owner. She was incredibly kind, and we ended up having a really nice conversation in Mandarin. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. Otherwise, really nice venue with lots of space and tables. Waiters always refilled my water, which is a good plus. Also gave me fresh rice when I took the leftovers to go. Overall, a solid meal with a couple standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the fried fish fillet and tofu. Will be back to try their other dishes.
