I have been coming here off and on for nearly ten years. The food has always been inexpensive but tasty. They don't skimp at all and really give you your moneys worth. The staff is efficient and friendly. I've always been impressed with the simple selections and how fresh the food seems to be. The building is reasonably clean but could be cleaner. The huge drawback to this location is the parking, which is terrible and its general location. It's on south Federal, right next to a pawn shop. It's a high crime area that has only gotten worse over the years. Watch your surroundings while in the parking lot. read more

1.35 Scoop & Up - Chinese Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

Do not come to this place, they are so rude and give you a small portion. No worth it at all, still want to charge for hot sauce. Not Worth it read more

Nice and clean right when you walk in , food is great! Prices are good as well ! Costumer service was good ! Definitely recommend this place read more

Good food, not expensive at all and the portions are always pretty large. Would definitely recommend.

I know dollar scoop Chinese places get a bad rap, but this place is fantastic. We love coming here because the food always seems to be hot and fresh, not sad like it's been sitting out all day. It stays pretty busy which means they have a fresh batch of food coming out regularly. The rice noodles are some of my favorite--subtle and lighter than the lo mein. I love the flavor of the jalapeño chicken even though the texture is a bit tough. The rest of the family loves the sesame chicken. The fried dumplings are also worth it. They come with home made sauce. Add this to your list of affordable quick and easy meals. read more

Literally 5 small pieces of chicken across 2 scoops of Kung Pao and Mushroom chicken. I feel bad throwing away a plate of vegetables but geez read more

1.35 Scoop & Up - King Pao and Mushroom chicken scoops - all veggies and 5 very small pieces of chicken - Chinese Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

Not exactly $1.35 a scoop but definitely good food for the money. Was definitely impressed of in the care that they put into the delivery package read more

This evening our family had a discussion. The question was, what is the worst restaurant you have ever been to? Without skipping a beat, my 13 year old son said- this place! It really is the worst restaurant he has been to, and it is one of the worst ever for me. Both of us tried several things and it was downright nasty. If you can't satisfy a hungry teenage boy, something is bad wrong with your cooking! read more

I was unimpressed. I will say that the employee was nice, the restaurant appeared clean, and I was in and out within a couple of minutes. However, the food was just so mediocre. I had chicken lo mein and beef & broccoli. Neither entrée had much sauce or flavor. The broccoli was undercooked and almost halfway raw. The lo mein mostly consisted of overcooked spaghetti noodles, three pieces of chicken, and two pieces of onion. I know a lot of you might be thinking "what do you expect? It's a budget restaurant that sells food by the scoop," but I have had much better experiences at other scoop Chinese places in and around Denver. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. read more

Best quick Chinese food on this side of Denver. Much better than panda and great quantity. Sesame chicken is amazing, as well as the jalapeño chicken, teriyaki chicken and lo mein. Egg rolls are a must. read more

I give this place a solid 3. Anything that's breaded chicken & fried is garbage & so is their spaghetti lo mein. It's not Asian wheat noodles, it's literally Italian spaghetti noodles which is really disappointing. What they have that I've tried that's good is their teriyaki chicken, their butter potatoes & their fried bananas. I like to drizzle the bananas with honey because they're not quite sweet enough on their own. I don't ever get their egg rolls or wontons or shrimp, so I can't speak to that. Obviously the main thing they have going for them is their pricing. Their portions are not quite as generous as they used to be, but it's still a good amount of food for a reasonable price. They're always nice & the process is very quick & no nonsense. read more

Was rushed as if they were busy when there was no line. I was also very over charged. The people working were very rude. Also found hair in my food read more

Always a great place for a quick cheap bite. Not the greatest quality of food but you get what you pay for. Been going here all my life and still love it read more

one of the worst dollar scoops in denver. rude and pushy. horrible quantities. probably the first time ive ever seen chickenless "chicken lo mein". not even kidding. clearly labeled "chicken lo mein" yet virtually chickenless, and they use spaghetti noodles lol. the wontons were fire but they truly earned this one star review. no fortune cookie either. read more

Not bad, but not great. Can't beat $1.35 a scoop! It's actually a few scoops, portion sizes are good. Quick and easy when you're hangry and can't wait to eat! Though I haven't actually been in the restaurant...my husband has picked it up multiple times since it's close to our house. Tonight's dinner included: fried rice, sesame chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, hot and sour soup, and crab cheese wontons. Yes...this was all for me!! Haha. Not sure what the hubby ordered. Fried rice: pretty bland and plain. It's just rice, nothing extra. Looks like brown rice, but it's not! Lol Sesame chicken: pretty good and flavorful, not too much breading. Salt and pepper shrimp: one order comes with 8-10 decent sized shrimp. It could use a bit more salt, but I guess I could've just added some myself. Hot and sour soup: was okay. Not much more to add. Crab cheese wontons: can't taste the imitation crab and the wonton wrapper is very thin and crisp. I prefer my wrapper thick and oily! Hahah. Probably wouldn't order them again (if I remember not to!). Overall, you get what you pay for. It's a good quick fix! Not sure what they're gonna do with their name once inflation happens! Lol read more

1.35 a scoop is what happen when God tells you he still loves you. Sesame chicken can be best described as a love child between Brad Pitt and Jonny Depp, but the depp of flavor is unrivaled on this side of eternity. It satisfies the ever expanding Pitt of my everlasting longing for Chinese quick service satisfaction. Score: 10 egg rolls/ out of chuck Norris's beard read more

Really good for budgeting purposes. Convenient, affordable and delicious. Employees are nice and helpful with suggestions.

I got rice and two sides and it came out to 7 dollars and change. For that much you might as well go to Panda Express. How can you call a place $1.35 a scoop and not charge $1.35 a scoop. The meat was dry like beef jerky and had the typical low quality Chinese food taste. read more

This is my favorite $1.35 scoop place in Denver ! This place is legit! The portion is huge and everything taste great ! I always get the jalapano chicken with half fried rice and half noodles. Their combo comes with either eggroll or crab rangoon too !!! The food is always fresh and delicious ! read more

I enjoy this establishment for 'fast food Chinese'. Located on the northeast corner of 285/Hampden and Federal in Englewood. It is next to a pawn shop and shares a parking area. It doesn't have a lot of parking spots and some days it fills up quick, but people come and go quick too. They are fast in getting you out the door. They are easy to find, and the food is filling. It is also VERY INEXPENSIVE! I do wish they had Thai tea or other types of drinks rather than soda. Masks are required during pandemic and there is no indoor seating anymore. I'm not sure when this will change, my first visits over a year ago was before the pandemic and it was nice to sit and eat. I recall them having the door open a couple times on a nice sunny day too. Now, everything is covered in plastic and taken to-go. I do wish they had the teriyaki sauce with the chicken. They call it teriyaki chicken, but I rarely see any sauce on the chicken. The wontons/rangoons are okay, wish there was more filling in them too. However, you can rarely find a better price place. I am not sure if you can special order anything like you could before the pandemic. Mostly I just get items from the buffet. I do like the Buddha water feature by the cashier. I have thrown change in a time or two and made a wish. I didn't notice any outside trash cans (wish they had some) because I have noticed trash in the parking lot often. It is disgusting and frustrating that people are lazy or disrespectful to leave trash just anywhere. Take the trash with you and PUT IT IN THE TRASH CAN! I wouldn't try to take trash inside their restaurant though, especially with the pandemic. Could be better, but could be worse too. Overall I like it. read more

I have been to many $1.35 a scoop Chinese restaurants around Denver, but this one is the best I have ever had! Everyone likes to keep it on the cheap sometimes, but also not sacrifice the quality of the food. Look no further, for this is exactly what you have been looking for! The place is old and small, but very clean. I usually order take out, I have never actually dined in. The staff is very friendly and always greets customers. I have gotten to know several of the staff and they always remember me. The food is so delicious! Most people expect nasty and tasteless food from these types of places. Here the food is different. I usually get the chow mein noodles, fried rice, beef and broccoli and the cashew chicken. The vegetables are crisp and the sauces are on point. The meat they use is lean and not gristley. And I can't forget about the eggrolls, so crispy and cooked to perfection yum!!! By the way, all this food feeds 3 people for $8, what a bargain. So if you are craving chinese take out and don't want to spend too much, give this place a try! read more

I'm new to Denver, so the whole $1.35 a scoop concept is pretty foreign to me. But I must say, I love it! My first time at this establishment was a little close to closing time; but we were still given immediate attention and got some pretty good food! And, of course, the price was amazing. My coworker and her friend always rave about the place, so glad they took me to check it out! read more

My coworkers like this place a lot but I wasn't impressed. I had my regulars, chicken lo mein and sesame chicken. Neither were up to snuff. One of my friends eats there at least weekly so maybe it was a one time thing... read more

My first time at a scoop restaurant. I came at 10:30 and got the rice noodles and the jalapeño chicken. The food was decent and tasty, with large portions. However the spring rolls taste like bologna and are a little off. Other than that, my experience was acceptable and I'd come back and try other things too. read more

Literally the worst meal I have had not an exaggeration.... Dried up overcooked sesame chicken flavorless teriyaki chicken not worth it. Dirty restaurant!!!!! Pay a little more. read more

This food got me sick I will never come back to this restaurant the food taste like sh**!!!!

I've had the jalapeno chicken, vegetable shrimp, and mushroom chicken, and all three were really good! Great price, value, and service, as well! read more

I guess i should of expected low quality food due to the price. So it must be true, you get what you pay for. My mom's sesame chicken was mostly breading and my teriyaki chicken was dry and tasteless. The dining room was pretty run down looking as well. Won't be going back there. read more

Great Food At A Great Price With A Quick, Courteous and Most Sympathetic Staff. The food is always fresh and there is always plenty of it. Try the Chinese Donuts and the Pepper Shrimp; they are to die for. Dine In or Carry Out this place is "the Bomb." read more

Its decent not the best. Kind of clean but still not that great. Staff barely knows any English. They struggle to understand orders. Have charged my card extra money more then once and its like getting teeth pulled to get them to change it. read more

Never have heard of these places before I moved to Colorado but glad I found them. The food is quite better than I expected and they give you huge portions. I love the rice noodles and I have always received enough food for 2 meals for under $7. Only 4 stars because I went in one night at around 7:30 and they for some reason were not making any more food, so not much selection read more

i love this place been going here for years great food all the time cant remember ever getting bad food or service love it

Fast, cheap, and amazing, don't let the parking fool you. Must go in if you like it cheap and properly cooked. Will be back again and again. Hope they open more honestly. read more

Their sign is a joke! It declares "$1.35 a scoop". What it doesn't say is that your selection if basically non-existent. No, I am not referring to how few items they're are, - but UNLIKE all other restaurants offering Chinese cuisine by the scoop for reasonable prices, this one only offered non-entree items such as rice for the touted $1.35/scoop. I cannot remember what else as I was thoroughly turned off by such a shabby (false advertisement in my opinion) invitation practice that I opted to go to the 7-Eleven across the street. At this establishment don't expect anything significant for the $1.35 a scoop. No Chow mein, no Lo-mein, no Beef and Broccoli, no Orange Chicken etc, items that are basic at the other restaurants serving Chinese food by the scoop, are more here. Now while everything is still reasonable I will not patronize a place that engages in what 135 Chinese Restaurant is doing. Heaven forbid I got off a bus to go there! read more
