I ordered the chicken fried rice with my husband for dinner, and we were both really happy with it. The portion size was generous, and the rice was perfectly cooked--not too oily and full of flavor. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned. read more

Highly recommended food was delicious. Freshly made to order. Cashier Jackie was young and vibrant, enjoyed talking to him.

For $35 they gave an insane amt of food! It lasted us days! I ordered online and just walked in, was quickly greeted and given my items! read more

I tried this place for the first time and it was amazing. Will definitely go again. Grubhub messed up my order and they delivered to me and gave a discount to boot. I highly recommend trying them read more

Everything was just okay tbh, but as someone who doesn't like crab or chives but loves cream cheese wontons, those were a HUGE win read more

Food was so delicious and such a great price. Service was phenomenal and the place was clean and cozy. Don't know why the rating is so low on here, I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. read more

The place looked dirty but I thought getting a boba drink would be OK on a hot day. The bobas were big and lumpy and hard, with white specks on them. Very strange, like they reheated old bobas. I drank a few sips and tried not to suck up any more of the gross bobas. The drink tasted weird. I pulled over and found a trash can in a parking lot to throw it out so I wouldn't drink anymore of it. 20 minutes later I started getting cramps under my rib cage. I feel like if I had drank the whole drink I would be throwing up now. My mouth tastes sour. I left the restaurant feeling suspicious...the whole time I ordered, paid and waited for him to make the drink he would not make eye contact with me. Even when I was standing right in front of him to pay, he never once looked at me. He looked down. Then when he handed me the drink he was suddenly chipper and happy. Now I feel sick and I have not eaten any food in the previous 6 hours and only drank a canned soda so I feel certain it was this coconut boba drink. I hope the health department goes in and checks this place! read more

Food was amazing, service was great! This place has been awesome for so many years! It's great to see businesses like this stick around.

The food was amazing the service was also amazing and the ambiance is a 4/5 . They changed the owner the food is so good I like kung pao Chicken the shrimp fried rice is also really good, the food is also no under cooked or over cooked it's cooked perfectly. I will be back again. read more

The sweet and sour chicken was okay, the sesame balls were okay. The cream cheese wontons were good. The spring rolls were bad, they were basically just fried overcooked spring roll wrapper with no filling. The fried rice was not good and I think they put something in it that was spoiled, maybe oyster sauce. The Pad Thai was absolutely terrible. It didn't have any bean sprouts or peanuts in it and the oyster sauce they used in it was definitely spoiled. Pros are it is inexpensive and you get a lot of food. Cons are alot of the food we got was inedible. read more

The bathrooms here are super dirty! The inside needs a detailed cleaning desperately. Based on the appearance and cleanliness we did not stay to eat. The owner Yi Li is very nice, but the place needs cleaning. read more

Ordered for delivery and they give you A LOT of food. Being vegetarian, when I order for delivery my food usually lacks flavor (vegetarians like flavor too!). I ordered it as medium spicy to play it a little safe & it was just shy of perfect (I could've handled spicy). I got the garlic veggies and omg I couldn't stop eating! Definitely going to be my go-to. Plus it arrived so quickly! read more

Great food, good price. Open late and a staple of my diet. Great amount for value, especially in comparison to the Fort Collins average.

So we got the orange chicken and some chow mein . She asked if I wanted soft noodles and I said yes. We got the noodles and they where plain. No green onions or bean sprouts , just plain boring noodles. I paid $14 and some change for those two orders. And the noodles came in a small Togo container! Wow . Never coming back here again. Expensive and too little food. Not worth it! read more

College Cafe - Orange chicken and chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This was the first time trying College Cafe. Great job! Portions were HUGE and the sesame chicken was tender and flavorful. I'm picky about my egg drop soup, and really liked this version. Also some of the best fried rice I've found here in Foco. Everything was fresh and tasty! I will definitely be ordering from here more often! Thank you College Cafe! Don't change a thing. read more

This review is salty and in poor taste, but hey, I am what I eat. If you love eating romantically bad Chinese food in the ambiance of a run-down, small town vfw post, by golly you got yerself a place! Paint peeling off of every surface, floor of a mechanic shop, faded fluorescent menu display, folding plastic tables like you'd find in the basement of a church, stainless steel troughs full of almost identifiable blobs of foodstuff that you hope really isn't going to be what you're about to eat. One lady working was watching Donald Trump with captions in another language on her laptop. There's art in this somewhere. Fried rice was nothing but staleness and brownness. Zero fresh or colorful items within. Nope. Monotextured chickenstuff and beefstuff had "nuanced" dimensions of salt. Overall, I feel like I would have fared better ordering their food delivery and then mindlessly eating it alone out of a box in the dark while watching episodes of Friends for the 12th (13th?) time. At least we paid $35 for a family meal for 2. read more

Very small portions even for lunch , smallest egg roll I have ever seen before . I asked for water that was poured from a pitcher that tasted very strange . Lo mein was tasty but stingy on the shrimp I only got 2 . read more

College Cafe - Every college town needs one of these. - Chinese Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This is supposed to be vegetable chow mein. It's not. It's a bunch of filler vegetables (85% cabbage) and some fried wonton strips. I paid $8 with tax for this utter disappointment. I'm really upset as I don't get to go out to eat often and this wasted my money. Will be thrown in the trash. read more

College Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I went there for lunch on Sunday Ordered my food. Paid in advance, including a tip. I don't like to pay in advance for the following. After waiting for 25 minutes, I was informed that they didn't have any rice ready. Rice, a staple. I was asked if I wanted to wait. That is when I looked into the kitchen and saw the cook putting rice into the rice cooker. I asked for a refund. I was told that I wasn't charged and the transaction was immediately voided. It was not. I was charged including my tip. Steer clear of this place. read more

College Café is absolutely where to go when you just want some simple Chinese food that doesn't require thought or explanation to yourself or anyone else. The menu is nicely broad, and has all the old favorites you know you're craving, but feel ...basic ordering at a nicer Chinese place. The real highlight of the meal for me was their quite flavorful sweet-and-sour sauce, which, unlike at most places, was well-balanced between sweet and sour, rather than just all sweet. True, the fried rice didn't have any vegetables or egg, but the cheese wontons were just the right amount of chewy and crispy. The atmosphere is strictly no-frills, but the people there are very kind and friendly, so it's a wonderfully comforting place to go. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Chinese food but is also not a snob. read more

Excellent fresh vegetables, meat and spices go into the authentic Chinese wok preparations!!! Excellent fried rice!!! Mostly take-out, but we eat-in every week and take any the left-overs home!!! Friendly, wonderful people!!! read more

Horrible place to eat. Food is gross. Place is filthy. Staff is rude and food took Forever to get. Not recommended for anyone.

LOL! I went to this place thinking I had enough Asian food for a few days and low and behold this place serves...Asian food! I thought it was a hamburger joint. That fact however has no bearing on my review though. I got the chicken bowl and was majorly disappointed. The food tasted very bland and yes I put everything I needed to to make it tasty. The egg roll was not bad but not the best. After the meal I got just a touch of Montezuma's Revenge but not what I would call food poisoning. The prices are reasonable but you can get much more tastier food around the corner at Toy Thai for about the same price or if you want to pay a bit more you can go to Thai Pepper diagonal from this place. Too bad this place was a bust for me especially since they had signs from The Scene (a free newspaper) and had this place on their 'Best Of' list. read more

Pretty good if you want cheap easy Chinese food. The name college cafe is definitely fitting. Better than Panda Express. Worse than a good restaurant. read more

Favorite Chinese restaurant in town. Super cheap, and consistent in food quality. Every time we're in town- it's our go to. Try it out-- you won't be disappointed. Wonton soup is FANTASTIC. read more

Ordered through GrubHub and I wish I didn't order from this place at all. I place my order for my partner and I, and when it gets here I immediately find out the order is all wrong! The lunch orders were supposed to come with veggie rolls, soup, and rice like it says right on their website and only one of us got rice... I ordered their general tso's chicken which was poor quality and my partner got shrimp chow mein that didn't come with any noodles so when you open the box, you're looking at a few small pieces of shrimp in some old limp shredded veggies... wtf?! Apparently crispy noodles (chow mien) to them are those crispy long crackers you put on fucking soup... SERIOUSLY? Those are NOT noodles! They didn't put in the extra order of veggie rolls either. I ended up calling and tried explaining the situation but then he gave me over to someone else. She didn't give a fuck that they messed up the order and denied everything I said. Apparently, they don't add the soups if its for delivery.... like why the fuck not? Why are you literally the only place that doesn't? It says they offer everything on their website but when they get complaints, they don't fucking change their info... Anyway I've complained long enough but I would never eat this bad quality food again or deal with the shit treatment I got again from this place. I recommend Lulu's Asian Bistro. I ordered the same shit for the same prices but WAY better quality and service. read more

Ever since a witnessed a cook, probably the owner, drop some food items on the floor and then drop them in the wok, I have been avoiding this place. I'd suggest you do the same. Unless they have changed ownership, they don't seem to care about sanitation. read more

good food for the price, the lady that takes orders is nice and friendly and the man who makes the food is really good at getting up and down to business. if there was one thing to complain about it's the wait, order online where you're comfortable then go pick your order up when it's ready. read more

What a let down... ordered chow mein that was anything but fresh, it was greasy and smelled weird, the chicken did not taste like chicken, and the "crunchy" noodles were just packaged fried who knows what. My girlfriend ordered sweet & sour chicken and she got tiny deep fried poop shaped chicken nugget things and dipping sauce. The rice didn't taste like anything either. Don't waste your time in this gross place. read more

My husband and I ordered the orange chicken and fried rice with an egg drop soup and fried cheese wontons. The orange chicken was tough, the rice was bland and the egg drop soup, well, it was gray and it had no flavor. Highly disappointed and will never eat here again, nor will we recommend it to our friends or family. read more

If you want large portions of hot, good, "greasy" Chinese then this is your spot. It might not be Asian-Fusion or whatever else is in right now, but for 6.95$ you get a very large entree with fried rice and an egg roll. They also deliver. A good place to satisfy your munchies on a cold Colorado day. read more

Good old College cafe. Went back after 20 years or so and the moo shu was still the same--very good--and it still might be the best hangover food in FC. Don't listen to the "c(SU)hildren" about good food, especially if you value anything authentic. It is what it is. They have good food at great prices with real consistency. read more

This asian themed place has very reasonable prices for the quality and amount you get. Is it high end? No. But it is a good deal for americanized chinese...they also have pretty fast free delivery. read more

I love this place! I don't get how more people don't know about this place. It's pretty cheap and it's really good food. The wait for the food is a little long but that's because it's cooked right there. I seriously don't understand how college kids haven't found this place yet. It's currently a Saturday and there is no one here but us. read more
