Ordered take-out because I was absolutely craving some salt and pepper fish! Definitely did not disappoint, it was flavorful with a salty/crispy exterior and still had good texture and flavor for the fish inside. Had it with a side of fried rice that was simple but solid. Partner got the sweet and sour pork which was good too, though a little bit different flavor-wise than what we were expecting, but still had a good crunch! The couple that owns this place were friendly and portions were generous/reasonable for the price! read more

KP Asian Cafe - Salt and Pepper Fish / 椒盐鱼片 - Chinese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Run, don't walk, to KP cafe if you want an authentic Chinese meal owned by a small famili business. Yes, that includes an modest decor and only a few tables for dine in, but the only adds to the authenticity in my opinion. Love that they had high chairs and booster seats available for my toddler. The waitress is so kind and told us that the owners have been cooking for 40 years. The meal was absolutely incredible, I brought my Chinese family members who said this was the best Chinese meal they've had in metro Denver. I tried: beef noodle soup, beef hot pot, fish with black beans and bell peppers, sweet and sour pork, and green beans. read more

That's I'm assuming little café has recently won me over! I believe they used to be more of a sit down style, but recently changed to a sort of buffet. You can get one, two, or three entrées with your choice of rice for anywhere from $9 to $13. I was initially hesitant because I was worried it was gonna be low quality like those dollar scoop spots, but it's not at all. The food is so fresh and delicious... their fried chicken is so juicy and crispy and you get huge portions! I also really love their salt and pepper fish, I crave it regularly now! For the value you truly can't beat it and it is always so great to go in because the owner is so kind and happy to see you! The restaurant is tiny inside so better for a small group or takeout. read more

The star of the show was the garlic fried string beans. We needed a vegetable and the chef recommend this dish. They were delicious with lots of "wok Hei" cooked just enough with a great crunch. We also ordered my standby favorite West Lake soup with its silky strands of egg white and bits of shredded Beef. We also were craving noodles so we ordered the chicken lo mein which was flavorful and a generous portion. This has lots of old fashioned Cantonese dishes too. This restaurant is located in a strip mall in the same shopping center as Great Wall. Nothing great with the decor but food is outstanding. Family run. read more

Went to KP Asian Cafe to check out their new ready to serve Chinese lunch/dinner box entrees. Indeed many not commonly seen ready to serve items. Glad to see these were more on the authentic side. 11 entrees to choose from, heard they will add 2 or 3 more in the coming days. Certainly good options from items from their regular menu. For the first week, 2 entrees with fried rice or lomien is $10.95 and would be $12.95 afterward. Also took a picture of their regular menu for anyone interested. KP Asian Cafe is right by the Great Wall Supermarket in Aurora. read more

I wouldn't really recommend coming here. It's dead silent inside which makes it really awkward sitting there. Service was also alright since there was 1 person taking the order, cooking, and providing the receipt while the other was sleeping in the corner. This is my second time giving this place a try. The first time I was really craving a specific dish that I saw they had on their menu when I looked them up online so I decided to try this place out. When I arrived, I was the only customer and it still took a minute to be seen and seated since the workers were in the back. I ordered the dish I wanted the first time I came here and they told me they didn't have it which is weird since it's on their menu but I brushed it off as maybe they didn't have the ingredients for it that day or something. My second time coming here today, I sat myself down since there was nobody at the counter. I was there probably for 10 min or so while the cook was cooking the dish for the other customer in the restaurant. I didn't realize until the cook said something but there was a worker sleeping in the corner of the restaurant with his shoes off and feet on the chair. I ordered their lunch special: Szechuan beef Moo goo gai pan (to go) The cook had to ask the other worker who was sleeping to get up and cook the dishes since she didn't know how. She then asked how to make both dishes and that worried me. I sat down to eat inside for my Szechuan beef dish but the moment it was placed before me I knew it was not going to taste spicy at all since I did not see a lick of pepper at all. I also had to ask for the complimentary soup that came with the lunch special. I think that was my favorite part of the entire meal, the soup. It came out nice and warm, there was corn, tofu, and egg inside the soup. I put a bit of rice in my soup for that nice texture. I've been doing it since I was a kid so it's become a habit now but I would recommend you do that if you happen to have soup and rice. For my to go order of moo goo gai pan, I was severely disappointed when I got home to see it was some type of beef and onion dish. I was really looking forward to my dinner but turns out I won't be having any vegetables besides onion which is one of my least favorite cooked vegetables to eat. read more

I love Asian cuisine , and this place was really good. We went with a large party and everyone love it. We will be back! read more

Small quaint dining area that reminds me of the small family owned restaurants that I grew up eating at. The menu is pretty extensive and has a lot of our favorite dishes as well as some interesting sounding dishes we will have to try on our next visit. We stuck with dishes we know and had the fried salt and pepper pork chops and mapo tofu. Both were very good. If we lived on this side of town this spot would be our goto. read more

Hong Kong and Szechuan are not related regions but we live in a melting pot country so I suppose they can co-exist. Hong Kong is coastal and the flavor tends to be more mild compared to Fire spices of Sichuan stir fry dishes. Szechuan beef tendon pot was not bad at all. It didn't have numbing peppercorn but still a good kick. Will be back to try more dishes. Look for seafood dishes under "House Special" and top right "Over rice" dishes those are the items you typically see at a Cantonese eatery. read more

My husband and I ordered UberEats from KP Asian Cafe last night and it was such a treat! Despite being about 4 miles away from us, our food was still steaming hot. We were very impressed by that. The wontons were massive and perfectly crunchy. The sesame shrimp was large pieces of fresh shrimp. It had a touch of spiciness but nothing too crazy. They also used real sesame oil for flavor, making it super tasty! The sweet and sour pork was delicious with big chunks of breaded pork, pineapple, and a little onion. Everything was tossed in the sweet and sour sauce. If you're looking to support a local business by ordering fantastic takeout, this is your place! read more

The crispiest and most delicious sesame tofu with rice and broccoli is served at this establishment. This spot is most definitely no frills. I would consider this a hole in the wall type establishment, but I've found that some of the best food is served in places just like this. The service was great and my water glass was full. I will definitely be back for the sesame tofu and veggie egg rolls! read more

The food here is amazing! I've always been incredibly pretentious about Chinese food because I grew up in Chinatown in New York City, and I can definitively say that this is a rare gem I was happy to find. I got the sesame chicken which was amazingly crispy, the crab cheese wontons which were perfectly crispy as well, and the vegetable lo mein which was so flavorful. I even did take out - which sometimes Chinese food doesn't travel well, and this did! And I live half an hour away! Would definitely recommend to anyone and will for sure be making the effort to do the extra driving to only order from here from now on :) read more

This is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to in the Denver Metro! I ordered takeout for my wife and I and couldn't have been more satisfied. The restaurant is ran by a very sweet husband and wife who even gave us a free order of crab rangoons because they "burnt" the first batch they made for us. (It wasn't burnt at all just extra golden brown, I'll ask for them to be cooked a little extra like these moving forward). The inside of the restaurant itself isn't much to right home about but for anyone who knows the memes of Chinese restaurants that have those faded menu signs are the best, this spot gives off those vibes! The portions are very large for the price, the egg rolls and crab rangoons where crispy with delicious filling. The fried rice that came with our General Tso's was fresh, my wife couldn't stop eating it. As for the General Tso's chicken itself, the breading on it was still crispy and rigid, making it the perfect breading to have the sauce get lost in all the nooks and crannies. Lastly, this combination Lo Mein was cooked perfectly and every meat in it was flavorful! We live right behind this little restaurant and I'm sad I didn't give it a try sooner! I'm very excited to order from them again and explore more of the menu because it's massive! This will be our go to for great Chinese cuisine! read more

Amazing service. Amazing food. Amazing people. Best mom and pops restaurant ever, authentic.

I walked into KP at around 11:30am on a Sunday and the place was deserted. My first impression was the dinning area was a little messy. The owner brought a glass of ice water and it tasted like the ice maker needed a major cleaning. The ice maker was also constantly making loud noise that was annoying. KP has two types of menu, American Chinese food and authentic Chinese food. I ordered the stewed beef brisket with rice noodle soup. The owner told me they used the Vietnamese pho noodle not the flat Chinese rice noodle. The stewed beef brisket was very authentic, a hint of the star anise and clove. The chili oil on the table was spicy hot. Overall, the taste was good, the use of pho noodle was not ideal, but still worth going back for another visit. read more

Absolutely love this place! Best Chinese food I've found in Denver so far. Both the outside and inside are very unassuming and it's located right next to the Asian Market on the strip so it can be easy to miss, however if you're passing by definitely give this place a try. It's run by a sweet old couple that are very proud of their food, and rightfully so! I've eaten here a number of times and I usually eat in although I noticed no difference between food quality or portion sizes when I ordered delivery. When I did eat in the service was great, I put in my order and as soon as each dish was finished it was brought right out steaming hot. Here are a couple of the items that I've tried from their menu: dumplings stuffed with pork and Chinese cabbage (do not mistake these with the steamed or pan fried dumplings), mapo tofu with minced pork, and the beef noodle soup. The dumplings stuffed with pork and Chinese cabbage are all handmade by the lady and are some of the best dumplings I've ever had. While they're ~$15 they were definitely worth it as I was brought out a huge plate filled with them. Every time I've ordered the mapo tofu I just can't stop eating it! Great spice, amazing depth of flavor, and the tofu has a comforting texture. Saving the best for last, the beef noodle soup is the best noodle soup I have ever had in my life.There's actually 2 different kinds of noodles you can get with it, but I always go with the flat noodles as that's how the guy recommended it (he even makes the noodles). Broth was so unbelievably flavorful and the noodles had perfect chew. To top it off the bowl is absolutely massive! All in all these folks have a wonderful restaurant that deserves more recognition for their amazing food. Side note: try their homemade chili oil, it's awesome (they have 2 spice levels so ask for the spicier one if the normal isn't spicy enough) read more

When they first opened it was great! Ordered there a couple of times since, fresh food, great taste, authentic, all was great! Until yesterday... we ordered our usual, though it was interesting it took 45 mins longer than previous. My last order with the cook questioned if a lived far because i arrived 10 mins after the notice my food was ready, so this time around i was there early. It took an hour for everything. It's only an older couple cooking and handling business. Someone there yesterday had been waiting almost 2 hours for her takeout. They are barely wearing masks and NO GLOVES! We received our food to find.. NO RICE though included in our meal, we didn't even get the basic white rice! To make matters worse, NO MEAT!! In the Mongolian beef, it was a onion and pepper soup, terrible! My orange chicken was better than the beef but sub par to say the least. May have been a rough weekend but it's Sunday, peak for any business! You can also tell it's not organized. You walk in and there is bunch of papers and bags, beers and computers all behind the plastic guard. They were both struggling, obviously customer service wasn't there. Hope they bounce back! But don't waste your time! read more

Food was unfortunately a bit on the bland side for Szechuan fare and food was slow to come out. Our server was very nice but there was a definite language barrier.

Owner is extremely nice. He came out to chat with us and check on us multiple times to make sure everything was okay. This is a rather new restaurant and has been in the making for over a year due to renovations. Their menu is a collection of typical Hong Kong cafe food and some Szechuan food. We ordered the broiled spicy fish, the numbing spicy tendons and tripe cold plate, and a stir fry shrimp vermicelli. The cold plate was delicious but the spiciness is very mild. We had to add more hot oil for more spice. The broiled spicy fish is decent but I wouldn't say it is very authentic. The noodle dish was good and not wet like other places. The noodles are perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The portion size is large so perfect for sharing. read more

I'll be honest - I decided to order from here because they had sesame balls on the menu. First of all, they are only doing take-out and delivery right now. Chicken with garlic sauce was good, but I wish it was more spicy (I added chili garlic when I had it at home). The fried rice that came with it was good but plain (just soy sauce no veggies). Lo mein was okay to be honest - I didn't like the noodles as much, as they seemed very dry and not enough vegetables/sauce. The pork eggs rolls were HUGE and fresh - would definitely order again. The sesame balls were the best I've had in Denver so far - red bean paste inside was perfect, and they are nice and bite-sized. Crab cheese wontons were given complimentary, which I appreciate but they are not my favorite. The people working weren't wearing masks as far as I could tell, so that put me off a little bit. I would order takeout again, but perhaps I will try different (more authentic) entrees next time. read more

I tried this place twice and never again. the sesame chicken was good but a little crunchy my fork could not stab the chicken. I had to switch to a metal. I got the lo mein with the chicken the first time it's a four dollar up charge and the noodles were dry so the next time I switch to the fried rice, there was no vegetables in the fried rice or no egg. it looked like they just put the rice and oil and put it in the container with being the meals being $15 and up and not eating the sides. I don't think it's worth it anymore. also the place looks like there's a thick layer of dirt on everything. read more

I needed crispy shrimp, no spice, for my kiddo. They made sweet and sour shrimp with sauce on the side, shrimp was excellent. Crunchy, tender, sweet. Vegetables were cooked but still had crunch. And when I got home, I saw they threw in some free sesame balls, which were a little sweet, a little savory, very soft and chewy. Delicious! I will be back. read more

We stopped here for a late lunch on a Saturday before shopping at POM nextdoor. They've only just opened, so I expect they'll be busier and the menu might change as they settle in, but so far so good! The service was very attentive, and the food was great! You can choose between the Americanized menu or the authentic Chinese menu. Both have a lot of options. We didn't have the guts to go authentic, but I can say the staple Americanized stuff is good. The sesame chicken has a more vinegary sauce than most places use, and we both liked it. When I'm feeling brave I'll definitely be back to try the legit Chinese food options! read more

This is the best restaurant in this strip mall, maybe even in Aurora. Sometime the wait may be a little long to get your food. But what sets this place apart is they make all of their noodles from scratch using a technique from China called (La Mian) noodle pulling. They start from flour, make their own dough then stretch and pull the dough by hand until they get it small enough for the mixture to turn into noodles. Too bad they don't show it. In China, this is part of the entertainment and in San Francisco some shops have these guys in the front window to bring in customers. My favorite here in the Mopu beef tofu served over a side of rice. I so ordered a steamed dumpling appetizer. The Beef brisket soup with book Choi and home made noodles is also good. read more

This is below mediocre Asian food. If you like your rice and lo mein flavored with soy sauce and siracha to give it flavor, this is the spot for you. I had no idea you could mess up orange chicken, but this is the worst orange chicken I've ever had. Most of it wasn't edible. Honestly, go to Panda Express for ordering here. The egg drop soup was good, so two stars I guess. read more

Found this place when shopping at Pacific Ocean market. They have noodle soups w bbq pork, wonton and other combo. You can choose from egg noodle, flat noodle or udon.

Tofu hot pot comes with brown sauce , very tasty and salty. Great w rice. read more

Love this restaurant and love the couple running it. However they are very short staffed - it's only the two of them - so don't order here if you want speedy service. Don't order here if you want typical American Chinese food like the kind you get at Panda Express. Order here if you want tasty, authentic Szechuan food and support a deserving elderly couple who has cooked and worked at other restaurants for most of their lives. They finally saw their dream realized when they opened their own restaurant in 2020, and then COVID hit. They are still trying to recover from months without any business and probably can't afford to hire additional staff. My family and I come here often and honestly you can't go wrong with the mapo tofu, salt and pepper chicken wings, sesame chicken, stirfry udon and salted fish fried rice (an acquired taste - it can be very salty to American palettes!) read more

Ordered the Shrimp wonton noodle soup. It definitely satisfied my craving. Best wonton soup I have had in the Aurora area.

We were skeptical about this place since it's pretty new and there were not much people yet eating but decided to give it a try and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and authentic. We ordered shrimp wonton noodle soup but forgot to take picture of, bitter melon with black bean sauce (this one is my favorite), salt and pepper calamari, and the sichuan style tofu. They were all amazing and would definitely come back! read more
