Hole in the wall, local, family owned spot. Great customer service, huge portions, reasonable prices and good food. Add $3 to make any entree a combo with soup and crab cheese wonton. Love that the combo sweet and sour had sauce already in the side. The Mongolian beef was a little on the sweet side for me but my Mom loved it. Also had general tso and sesame chicken at the table that were fantastic. That combo chow fun though! Seriously one of the best I've had in Colorado. Super reasonable prices and very friendly service. Ohh and grab some Chinese donuts for dessert

Amazing Chinese food, super great atmosphere, very quiet & nice for a date night! My fiancée and I loved it here, & it was super great :) The Crab Rangoons were so crisp & we could tell they were just made, highly recommended!! We will be regulars!

Kung Poa chicken

I cannot lie we were very hesitant to come as no cars and it looked a little sus but we (my son and I) thought well back home (TX) some of the best Mexican places are the mom and pop, hole in the wall places so let's try it. Needless to say the concept is true for this place as well. We were the only ones here so food came out quickly. The egg drop soup was sooo good. And I have tried Kung Poa chicken at a variety of place here in COS and most lacked flavor and never was spicy but here... everything had flavor! It was so yummy and the staff was so friendly. Sadly it's not super close to where I live but if I'm in the area, I'll definitely be stopping by again!

Seafood pan fried noodles. Smelled absolutely awful. Could not eat. Spit out first bite.

I ordered seafood pan fried noodles, 2 egg rolls, 1 fried squid, 1 order of chicken wings for 2 others to share, as well as wor wonton for myself. The wor wonton soup is pathetic for the price. It smelled funny so I passed after tasting a tank wonton. The egg rolls were nasty and underfilled. The seafood pan friend noodles are in a heavy soup completely covered and it smells of seafood from 10' away, which is a bad sign always. The first bite was spit out and the remainder thrown away with the warwonton soup. Chicken wings were the only thing edible. We wasted $50! Ordering from China Gourmet. We ate there last week. It was hands down, the best on the SE side.

Eating in the car since dining area is closed for now...Vegetable Chow Fun.

Great service, good portions, good food! Affordable and quick. I had the sesame chicken:read more

**Ambiance** The…read morerestaurant itself is a decent size with plenty of seating and large booths, so it would be comfortable for families or larger groups. **Service** Service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The staff spoke English as well as either Cantonese or Mandarin, which initially gave me high hopes for the food. **Food** I won't lie--I came in with pretty moderate expectations. After chatting with the staff in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I thought we were in for a really authentic meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We ordered five dishes, and it quickly became apparent that the food is heavily catered toward American tastes. Several dishes contained ingredients that traditionally wouldn't be included, while other key ingredients were missing altogether. The biggest issue for me was the sweetness. Three of the five dishes were noticeably sweet, which isn't what I expected from the dishes we ordered. The standout dish of the meal was the Mongolian Beef. It was flavorful and wasn't overly sweet. That said, it lacked the spice I typically associate with the dish. The Mapo Tofu was probably the biggest surprise. It was missing the ground pork that usually gives the dish so much flavor and texture. Instead, it included bell peppers, onions, and water chestnuts--ingredients I've personally never seen in Mapo Tofu. Rather than being spicy and numbing, the dominant flavor was sweetness. The Chicken Pan-Fried Noodles were difficult to enjoy. The sauce was very sweet, and the noodles were cooked to the point where they were tough and chewy. Instead of the thinner noodles commonly used for this dish, they used thick noodles that reminded me more of lo mein. We also ordered a Beef and Scallion dish. It felt more like a beef chop suey variation with scallions added. The scallions themselves were cooked perfectly, but once again the sauce leaned much sweeter than expected. The Hot and Sour Soup was actually the first item to arrive. I jokingly told my family that if the soup wasn't good, I might be worried about the rest of the meal because hot and sour soup is one of those dishes that really showcases balance and technique. Unfortunately, it ended up confirming my concerns. It lacked the bold sour and spicy flavors that make the dish so enjoyable. By the end of the meal, we had a lot of leftovers. The only items we brought home were the Mongolian Beef and a few pieces of beef picked out from the Beef and Scallion dish. **Overall** This restaurant may appeal to diners who enjoy sweeter, Americanized Chinese food, but it wasn't for me. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't personally recommend it to anyone looking for the flavors and dishes I grew up eating.

The food is very good. Portions are generous, prices are fair. However, the cushions in the booths…read moreare not supportive at all. When the meal was over, I was almost limping. The booth cushions need to be redone-BADLY. And those heavy wooden captains chairs are not fit for a restaurant and need to be replaced. Spend some money and get furniture that better suits the decor. From now on, I'm only ordering take-out. Service is very good. However, I will NEVER sit in those booths again.

Found this hidden gem in CS and everything we ordered was really good! We stopped by for the lunch…read morespecials, which were super affordable. I got the sesame chicken, and we also ordered the Happy Family lunch special. Each meal came with an egg roll, one cream cheese wonton, and your choice of soup: egg drop, wonton, or hot and sour soup. Both plates were flavorful and seasoned well. The crab wontons were especially good. The egg roll was tasty too, but it had a little too much pepper for my liking. I still ate the whole thing though lol. We also tried the fantail shrimp, and those were definitely a must-have. For dessert, we got the sesame balls. They were good and pretty much what you'd expect from sesame balls. I also ordered a Thai tea, but it wasn't my favorite, it didn't have any flavor and probably not something I'd get again. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back.
