    Sweet and sour chicken with steamed rice and crispy veggie roll.
    Denise G.

    I stopped by during their lunch special on a Wednesday afternoon while on vacation in Denver. I was immediately greeted and served water and given a menu. Prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch special with steamed rice and a crispy veggie roll. It also comes with a choice of soup but I let the server know that it was too much food for me so I didn't want to waste it. Huge portions and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

    We were craving Chinese food and saw some good reviews for Little Ginko. Service was fast, food came out even faster. We started with some soups (hot&sour and egg drop soup) and both were very good. The entrees were a bit less fulfilling and I would probably give them a 3.5/5. The sesame chicken was way too breaded. And the combination fried rice has some pretty poor quality cuts of meat (I thought the chicken might have even been a bit undercooked, just picked those pieces out). For the price the food was fine, but not the best we've had in Denver.

    Comfy interior.

    I had a delightful lunch here today. Friendly service, clean and attractive premises. Had Sesame Chicken lunch which came with soup, rice and spring roll. very tasty. Definitely will be back.

    Love the pain lo mein, honey chicken, and sesame chicken. Consistently amazing every time. We prefer to eat in the restaurant vs takeout.

    Cute little place

    Really cute little place and they have a good amount of options, lunch specials, and they also have some adult drink options. It's taken me forever living in the area to get here. I'm glad I finally tried it. It's just so adorable and cozy inside and has that small owner feel to it. The server was working hard and super pleasant. Definitely check out and support this little gem!!!

    We were in Denver last week to see Crowded House (outstanding!) and we found Little Gingko about a block from our Airbnb. They have a wide variety of entrees and appetizers. We started with some crab cheese wontons which were really tasty and some genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice). For entrees, I had some really delicious Singapore curry noodles with chicken and shrimp. It was fantastic, and I had enough for some leftovers later. My husband enjoyed his drunken noodles very much as well. If you're in Denver's Capitol Hill area, stop in at Little Gingko for wonderful Asian food.

    Sesame Chicken Dinner

    Adorable, family-owned spot right off 13th avenue. The portion sizes are large and flavorful. Service was excellent. I really enjoyed the chicken chow fun and the sesame chicken. My friend enjoyed the curry that they ordered.

    My family and I loved eating here! We got cashew chicken, orange chicken, pineapple chicken, beef lo mien, wontons and mochi. The portions were huge but it was so good we cleaned our plates! It was very nice and clean too.

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.

I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

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!
