    This place is an amazing affordable hidden gem that I never knew existed near my house until recently. I walked in after buying some pastries nearby and I am so happy I did. They have amazing lunch specials and the portions are even better!! Their food is delicious, restaurant clean, and best of all the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I loved it. Great first impression. Will definitely be going back for lunch.

    So many great things to say about this place! The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was amazing. They have a decent amount of seating inside with artwork done on the walls by the owner. Their current lunch special is such a great deal! The crab and cheese wontons are the best I've ever had. Super fresh, perfectly crispy, and full of flavor, not processed tasting at all. My partner usually avoids them for that reason and even they loved them. The orange chicken was another standout. The sauce tasted fresh and balanced, not overly sweet or artificial like you sometimes get at other places We'll definitely be back, I highly recommend. Go out and support a family owned business

    Saw this place on tiktok, looked at food pics and decided I had to come. Order beef and broccoli with fried rice and an order of crab rangoon and everything was fresh and yummy. The owner was super sweet. And the music, it was nice to have good singalong music playing.

    If you're searching for the best traditional Chinese food in Denver, I highly recommend visiting Jade Cafe. This family-owned Chinese restaurant in Denver, CO (80227) truly delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by an amazing and friendly team that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's clear that customer service is a priority here, and that level of hospitality makes a big difference. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, the staff is attentive, efficient, and genuinely kind. I always order for takeout & it's great! One of the standout qualities of Jade Cafe is how fast and consistent the food service is, without ever sacrificing quality. The dishes come out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, making it an ideal spot for both a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with family and friends. Now let's talk about the food, because this is where Jade Cafe really shines. The Sesame Chicken (available in white or dark meat) is a must-try! perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a rich, balanced sauce. The Orange Chicken is equally impressive, offering a bright citrus flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and a satisfying crunch. If you enjoy classic favorites, the Sweet & Sour Chicken is done exceptionally well crispy, flavorful, and paired with a vibrant sauce that hits that perfect sweet and tangy balance. The Beef and Broccoli is another staple done right, featuring tender slices of beef and fresh broccoli cooked in a savory, well-seasoned sauce that pairs perfectly with steamed rice. A visit here wouldn't be complete without ordering the Cheese Wontons, which are absolutely a must-order appetizer. They're golden, crispy, and filled with a creamy, flavorful center that keeps you coming back for more. Be sure to also try their egg rolls which complement the meal perfectly and add even more variety to the table. Many drinks to pick from as well, adds a nice refreshing touch along with the meals. What sets Jade Cafe apart is its ability to combine authentic flavors, fast service, and a welcoming family-owned atmosphere all in one place. It's no surprise this spot is becoming a go-to for locals looking for good-quality Chinese food in Denver. If you're in the Denver, CO 80227 area and craving delicious, reliable Chinese cuisine, Jade Cafe should absolutely be on your list. This is the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food, fast service, and a friendly dining experience in Denver!

I visited there during a break from a convention I was attending and was glad to find it open. Service was brusque but reasonably fast. 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. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

It's that kind of thoughtful service that turns a great meal into a memorable experience. The next time I'm in Denver, I'll definitely be back. Don't skip the Chiang Mai Wonton and the dumplings,

I was really expecting some being that would basically melt in my mouth and that was not at all the experience. it made me miss San Francisco Asian food so much... as a treat myself kind of meal, it was fine, but I'm glad I went by myself rather than a date night with my husband cause I think we both would've regretted it on the plus side if there is one is that the staff we're remarkably friendly even for the lunch crowd.

My group of 7 shared the roasted pork, pork and duck barbecue. I'm not a fan of duck so it would not be fair for me to write anything about it, but those who loved duck meat said that this place serve wonderful barbecue duck. As for the pork, both roasted and barbecue, they were so good. We had a little bit of white rice to eat with the meat, but really, you don't need the extra rice in order to eat these two types of pork meats. Since both styles of the pork were prepared differently, I cannot say one is better than the other: they were both delicious. The crunchiness and the flavorful from the roasted pork, as well as the aroma and the soft chewy from the barbecue pork, brings this dining experience to the next level. We also ordered the yu stir fry choy sum in garlic, the combination fried rice, and salt and pepper shrimp. I highly recommend the yu choy and shrimp dishes. I would skip the fried rice and get their beef chow fun, which is exactly what my other group of 6 did. In addition to what were mentioned above, they ordered Chinese broccoli, daikon and beef in clay pot, Taishan five spice duck, salted fish & chicken fried rice. Everyone enjoyed their food and dining experience here. Conversations were easily understood and heard. When asked what their favorite dish was, all of us said we liked everything, but when pressed to give one special dish, several folks mentioned the roasted pork, the clay pot, and the salt and pepper shrimp. Service here was excellent. The manager was very accommodating to our large group of diners, coming back and making sure we are doing fine as he refilled our water glasses. If you are looking for legit Chinese barbecue pork and duck, you don't need to look further: it's here at Happy Cafe BBQ. Enjoy!
