This place is EASILY the best Chinese (takeout style) restaurant in Denver. My girlfriend and i have ordered take out from here many, many times and i decided it's finally time to give them their due diligence. Everything we've ever ordered from here was cooked exceptionally and packed with care. The price of the food is extremely fair given the high quality ingredients and techniques that go into the dishes. I'll never order takeout from another Chinese restaurant for as long as i'm near Pepper. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! read more

This place has the best tofu in the Denver Metro Area! I always order a dish with tofu and fried rice. I love how it's crispy and golden. Some other places have tofu and it's soggy when in combination. Pepper Asian's tofu is always firm and has the perfect texture. I love how close it is to my house as well. The staff is so nice and friendly. Forever my go to Asian food place. Keep making magic! :) read more

Pepper Asian Bistro - Asian Fusion Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We stumbled upon Pepper Asian and were really glad we did. They quickly accommodated our last-minute reservation for eight over the phone on a busy Saturday night and were genuinely hospitable from the start. The food quality and portion sizes were spot on, and all dietary needs were met with grace and care. Service was excellent, attentive with drink refills, respectful of our conversation, and thoughtful with their timing of bring takeout containers when it was clear we weren't ready to be rushed out. The noise level was low with just the right lighting, making it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. We all agreed we'd come back, so definitely give them a try. (Sorry forgot to take pics) Dishes ordered: Crispy wings (perfectly battered and cooked) Spring rolls (3 orders) Peanut Curry ( 1 Shrimp, 1 tofu, 1 pork) Mongolian beef Green Curry (1 chicken shared, 1 beef) Panang Curry w/beef read more

Curry noodles were fine. Flavor was good, but definitely could've used more beef, since you pay extra for it. Also leaves strong yellow residue on your tongue, which isn't the restaurant's fault, but I'm just tossing it out there. Food came out quickly, and waitress was nice. read more

After a morning of sightseeing, we decided on Pepper Asian Bistro for lunch. We were seated immediately, the service was friendly accommodating our large group. We got Potstickers and Chicken Satay to start. We liked both our appetizers, it was a great start to our meal. We then got Orange Chicken, Steamed Chicken with Vegetable w/ Garlic sauce, and Kung Pao Chicken. All our dishes were good, we enjoyed our meal a lot. read more

This is a great spot for Asian-American food. Every plate I've had has always hit the spot and been so delicious. I've never gotten her name, but there is one waitress here that is always infectious with her friendly demeanor, is prompt, helpful, and super accommodating. Every time I've gone, the restaurant is always clean and organized. I wish we could give half stars because this place is a 4.5 in reality, the price point just does not match the quantity/uniqueness of the food. No reason to skip this place though! A must try on Colfax! read more

Lately the place seems to be cutting corners. The food is not as good as it was. So sorry to see this as it was my favorite Chinese restaurant. read more

We've gotten delivery twice over the last month or so and think we may have a new favorite in the area. The sesame tofu had a nice chew and crunch to it, unlike others I've had. We also tried the pad see ew and it's delicious! The delivery times took about an hour, which was less than the website says it'll take on a weekend. The flavors on these two dishes are great. read more

Service is very good here. My green curry tofu was tasty but the sauce is way too heavy. My friend had a vegetarian Mongolian eggplant dish, it was good. read more

TRY THIS PLACE if you love Chinese, you will not regret it ! This was my Mothers Day dinner and we dined in. I absolutely loved the service we got from our waitress. She was very attentive, quick and was always there to get us refills. The food has such great flavor and comes out nice and hot! We ordered the hot and sour and egg drop soup which came out nice and hot with some green onions on top. Next, chicken fried rice, chicken lo mein and sesame chicken . Best lo mein I've had in a long time ! Fantastic rice and crispy sesame chicken. Everything was soooo good I didn't want to stop eating! Thank you all in the kitchen it was such a delicious Mothers Day meal! Will be returning very soon! I highly recommend this place! read more

I've ordered takeout from here a few times and each time I've really enjoyed my meal. Some of my favorites are the crispy spring rolls, sesame chicken, fried rice, and Mongolian beef. Good portions, quality tasting, served hot & quick delivery. I forgot to snag a good pic of all the items separately because when Chinese arrives and you're in a group - it's a free-for-all amiright?? read more

Pepper Asian Bistro - Crispy Spring Roll, Sesame Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Fried Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My boyfriend and I come to this place every few weeks and it never disappoints. We tend to get the sesame chicken and orange chicken with fried rice. The fried rice isn't the best thing I've ever tasted but it does the job. I love the fried spring rolls, they're always sooo piping hot and yummy. The service is always nice and they've even given us a free order of dumpling before which is very kind. One time we ordered the drunken noodles, it was good but not our cup of tea as the noodles are very thick. But that's okay I just wouldn't get it again. Overall, my verdict is visit this place if you're in the area for some yummy Chinese food. read more

Pepper Asian Bistro - Crab Cheese Wontons (6) Orange Chicken Lo Mein - Asian Fusion Near Me - Denver, Colorado

So good. Love the hot peppered steak Thai Hot! The service is great at both locations!!

When I lived in New Hampshire they had "Asian restaurants" like this! And I am always skeptical of a place that serves Hakka, Thai, Japanese. Pepper Asian serves sort of generic gloppy Cantonese uninspired dishes. You can tell when the next day the sauces congeal. I really can't say any dish was particularly good and am somewhat surprised that Yelpers gave this place such high remarks...like maybe go to a city ( Shanghai, Beijing, San Fran LA, NY) and see what really Hakka/Cantonese Cuisine is like, Sorry. read more

The service was so quick and very friendly. I went with my vegetarian friend and they had lots of good options for both of us. Their pad sew Lew was really flavourful and the Buddhas feast was a great complement to the sesame chicken. The place had tons of tables and space for us even without a reservation. read more

Pepper Asian Bistro - Sesame Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Now this is a place that you should try. Rich in flavor and a hole in the wall that rears you kindly and gives you great portions. APPETIZERS: Okay the Calamari was just incredibly crispy and delicious. They give you this yellow sauce that im not sure what it is but it is soooo good. It's incredibly savory and rich that compliments the crispy Calamari. The crab cheese wontons are the best I've had in a while. These are full of crab cheese and the skin is so crispy it just brings everything together. The texture is smooth and tastes rich in cheese but not overwhelming. You need to get either one of these when you come here. THE ORANGE CHICKEN: Hey call me basic but this orange chicken is literally one of the best I've ever had. It's one of the first orange chickens where it actually has flavors of sweet and savory orange citrus. The skin is oh so crispy yet the chicken is so soft. It's like a chicken nugget but luxury. I loved this place, I will definitely be coming here again and will not miss it for a second. read more

The service here is amazing. Even on a busy night, they were so kind to get my group seated quickly. I was with a group of 6 and it took 10 minutes for all of our food to come out! They are so fast, very attentive and the food is well worth it. They have large portions, big enough to be able to share or have some extra to take home. The vegetables always taste fresh too and my tummy is always happy after a dinner here. This is my #1 spot in this area! read more

Pepper is hands-down our favorite spot for Asian food! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I especially appreciate their vegetarian options -- I don't eat eggs, and they always make me a special fried rice without eggs, no problem. My daughter absolutely loves it too. Her go-to order is the sesame tofu with steamed rice and edamame, and it always hits the spot. The eggrolls are another favorite -- super fresh with perfectly cooked veggies that still have a bit of crunch, which we really look for in this kind of dish. We usually pick up from either of their locations, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. When we've opted for delivery, it's always fast and affordable. Consistently great food and great service -- what more could you ask for? read more

Fantastic find! We arrived on a Friday night and were not disappointed at all. At first, the restaurant did seem a little unorganized as we were waiting by the door for a few minutes without being acknowledged, but once they sat us down, everything fell into place. Not only was the staff attentive, they were very quick to get us waters, menus, and get our orders out. We ordered 5 entrées to share, and we were not disappointed. The food was perfectly seasoned and was so flavorful. The spicy dishes had a kick, which was nice. We did try to not go too spicy as we were all sharing, but even the "hot" level did its thing! We've been talking about this place since we left, and can't wait to come back. Also, they were playing 2000's music which really made the ambience even better! Good food and great vibes!! read more

Ok im gonna start off by saying Denver has a panhandling problem and we need to stop it. We are the ones responsible because we give and give. With that being said - this place was a great lunch spot until a man came in and walked up to my table and as i had my wallet out asked me for $5. I understand that since it was a seat yourself restaurant that they didn't stop him from entering. After i told him no he went to another table and started harassing them for money and yelling at them about their heritage. I advised the man at register that the man shouldnt have been allowed to be in here. Now for the food, Food was fresh tasting and delicious. The general tsos hd a different flavor then i was used to but still good. I would definitely go here again and provide a 4-5 star if they could control the panhandlers from harassing customers. My friend had the sesame chicken and said it was delicious also. The crab wontons were the best ive had. Price is $$. read more

The service was exceptional and the staff were incredibly friendly! We had just got off a long flight and my phone had died and they were so courteous as to charge it behind the counter for me. The food was very good, too. We ordered the mango chicken and the basil tofu! Overall ambiance and setting were great. It's a quick drive from the airport and there is tons of street parking, making it easy to get to the restaurant! read more

We've ordered from the place a few times now and it's certainly one of my fave take-out options in our area. We've tried a few different dishes like the Panang curry and the Pad Thai in the past but our most recent order consisted of Pepper steak and peanut curry both with fried rice. My favorite part about this place is that they actually serve good fried rice unlike that mildly seasoned, pale ass rice that some Asian food spots around the area serve. The curry was phenomenal! Perfectly flavored and creamy with a hint of spicy. The Pad Thai was not my favorite although It is usually my to go dish. To me, theirs lacked a lot of flavor and the noodles where over cooked. Overall- will continue ordering from here ! Great neighborhood spot. read more

Outstanding service, outstanding food. BEST edamame I've ever had. You must try this place . . .so many Asian food choices in the Denver area, but this one stands out. Easy parking, prices are good also for the very large portions. read more

This place is pretty yummy! I'm rounding up to 5 stars from 4.5 The ambiance is cozy, lively, and comfortable with a mix of people dining in and lining up for takeout. The service was extremely fast with them coming to take our order and the food coming out within 15 minutes on a Saturday evening. The food was hot, with extremely generous portions and actually so deliciously flavored. I got the basil tofu and it smelled and tasted delicious with equal balance of savory, spicy, and sweet. They used the right texture of tofu, the sauce was delicious and a nice a consistency, and overall kept me fed for 2 meals! my friend got the hot and sour soup and sesame tofu which was more sweet and firm coating to the tofu, also delicious. Overall this is a great neighborhood restaurant to pop into for a casual dinner or great spot for take out, also think next time I'd prefer to do more family style as portions are generous and would love to try more items on the menu! read more

Pepper Asian Bistro - Basil Tofu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I am always in need of a good Asian food and found this to have a mixture of Thai and Chinese-American dishes. We have ordered about 5-6 times in the last 2 months alone and have been able to sample a decent variety. Most has been take-out so I can not speak as to their service. I have used UberEats for most of the takeout and noticed around a $4 difference per dish between the UberEats menu versus the restaurant menu. Mango Chicken - 4 stars in that it was great flavor and tender chicken but very few piece of mango that were limp and overcooked. I did love the crunch of the water chestnut. General Tso's Chicken - 5 stars - perfect rendition of the dish with the guise of eating healthy with the broccoli and peppers Pad Thai - 5 stars consistently. Very well flavored with all of the right textures. Basil Chicken - 5 stars with perfectly tender chicken and fragrant basil Chicken Coconut curry - 4 stars - well flavored dish but very little "gravy". I was hoping that this would be more of a hearty soup Orange Chicken - 5 stars - great fresh flavor, not the typical concentrated orange flavor Sweet and Sour Chicken - 1 star - the only dish I hated. I would not recommend this for take-out at least. We were presented with a dish of batter fried chicken. We were given a second container of cloyingly sweet sauce that was #1 no where near enough for the chicken and #2 contained about 4 measly pieces of pineapple and about the same amount of bell pepper. I appreciate that they did not want the dish to get soggy and served separately but this was not designed for a take-out menu. This went into the trash. read more

I ordered their lo mein on doordash last night and it tasted like ketchup. Not impressed.

Great spot and a lunch go-to. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food / portions. We have always received our food quickly on take-out orders. Food is always fresh, and full of flavor! Great spot! read more

Best Chinese and freshest around. Fast service. Friendly. Great flavor. We had the general so chicken and it was super fresh and CRISPY. Also had chicken with veggies in the brown sauce instead of white. It was great! 10 different veggies. Hot and so fresh. We also ordered a side of lo mein. Perfection. And crab ragoons to start were the best with the sauce and spicy mustard mix. Others in the restaurant came from miles away just to go there. You won't be disappointed. Dishes could easily be shared. Ambiance was clean and warm and inviting. read more

This place is the best Chinese food I've ever had outside of NYC. I never thought I'd find great Chinese food out here but this place is consistently excellent. One of my favorite spots in town and the staff is so friendly and helpful. read more

I shared the Sesame chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Happy family with my table. The kung pao chicken was my favorite. The chicken was tender, lots of veggies, and the sauce was flavorful. I wish the happy family had a couple more scallops than the 2 scallops in the dish, but it was still really good. The sesame chicken had a slightly different flavor than I'm used to. Almost a small kick to it! The service was great. Our waitress was almost too prompt! Definitely want to come back and try more items on the menu. read more

This place has steadily slipped, food orders are always perfect and on-time but food quality is enough to go elsewhere sadly.

Pretty great take out- placed the order to go and it was ready within 15 mins. Super easy and extremely tasty. Would love to go back to eat at the restaurant because the food was outstanding! Light and fresh- the rice, meat, and vegetables. The spring rolls were the best part!! Will be going back! read more

I've been ordering takeout and dining in at Pepper Asian Bistro for years and they have been one of the most solidly consistent restaurants I've ever experienced I have yet to find an item on their menu I wouldn't order again.

Walking in the place was clean and the staff is very friendly. Family owned and operated! The ingredients are fresh and well cut. I added mango and basil to the dish, and thank god I did!
