I would honestly donate 1k to y'all just to replace your plastic to-go containers for cardboard ones. I love that the delicious food comes straight from the heat to the container, but i'm just afraid of all the plastic leeching into the food because of how hot it is as a to-go order. Place was peaceful and had an easy menu to read, so would love to come again when in the area read more

As always, I started with my holy grail of appetizers: the hot and sour soup. Thick, rich, tangy with just the right kick of pepper--like a warm slap in the face from an old friend who knows you needed it. Honestly, if this soup were a person, I'd leave it everything in my will. Consistently perfect, which is saying a lot in a world full of disappointing sequels and watery broths. My dining partner, loyal as ever, ordered the sesame chicken--a classic, reliable, sticky-sweet MVP. It's the kind of dish that knows exactly what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. Like your favorite 90s sitcom: comforting, predictable, and always leaves you a little happier than when you started. You can't go wrong with it unless you're one of those people who thinks ketchup is spicy. Now, me--I decided to get bold. Brave. Adventurous, even. I ordered the Sizzling Scallop and Beef because I saw the word "sizzling" and got all hot and bothered. Let's just say... the dish sizzled more in concept than execution. First, the beef and scallop themselves? Decent. The scallops had a nice sear and weren't rubbery, so no complaints there. The beef was tender-ish, not a shoe sole, and full of flavor so points for that too. But the vegetables--oh, the vegetables--were clearly having an identity crisis. Undercooked and a little stringy in that "did-we-even-try?" sort of way. I love a crisp snap pea as much as the next food snob, but I didn't come here to gnaw through a jungle. Now for the plot twist: there was fruit in the mix. Surprise! Normally I'd raise an eyebrow, but shockingly, the fruit was the best part--sweet, juicy, and weirdly harmonious with the seafood and beef. It was like a B-list actor who unexpectedly steals the movie. Didn't see that coming, but hey, at least someone showed up to perform. Final verdict: Hot and Sour Soup - Still my ride or die. Sesame Chicken - Reliable boyfriend material. Sizzling Scallop and Beef - Gave me a lukewarm hug and asked me to pretend it was fire. Would I go back? Obviously. Would I order the sizzling mystery again? Only if I'm in the mood to chew through missed potential. Stick with the classics, folks. They're classics for a reason. Next time I'll go with the mushroom beef, it was my happy place last time. read more

Heaven Dragon Chinese Restaurant - Chicken and rice lunch special delicious.! - Chinese Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

The food was delicious! The General Tsao's chicken was the best I have tasted. Lunches are wonderful because you get a soup and an appetizer along with the main dish. The service was excellent. I couldn't be happier going to this restaurant. read more

Wonderful food. Wontons are so good. Big helpings. Lemon chicken is very good. Shrimp in lobster sauce was very good. Service was very attentive. Lunch menu til 3 on Sunday. read more

Not sure how this place is rated anything less than 5 stars. I've been a customer here since I was a young kid (at their original location up North) & I've never had any issues. To the people giving critical reviews; go pay the extra $ to go to a 5 star restaurant.. especially since you expect 5 star service for a discount. read more

Every time we come here we are delighted by the hospitality, food and our experience. It is always busy but they make you feel as if you're the only ones there. The portions are more than generous not to mention totally awesome plating and taste. I had the Teriyaki Chicken my wife had the Cashew Shrimp and my brother in law had the Moo Shu Pork. The sides were selected were equally delicious and huge in portions. Heaven Dragon has never changed the setting is storybook as you feel you're actually in China. The Staff is amazing and the food is outta this world. You need to try it and you'll be glad you did. read more

My family loves this place! We travel to go here. Today, we got the gourmet dinner for four, which includes enough food for approximately 12 meals! We all ate until we were full and are excited to enjoy the leftovers for lunch this week. The chicken in the Kung pao chicken was amazing. Tables were full, take away was busy, and service was fast. Give this place a try! read more

I Come Here Pretty Often. The food is Amazing. The Service is fast and is exceptional. The Ambiance is Chinese restaurant with music and kind people. The food also tastes like a home cooked meal. I would recommend this place to people driving by/ visiting and people who live in Arvada and surrounding areas. Overall Amazing. :) read more

Good selection. Good food. We have ordered from here many times. And will continue to do so.

This place has great food. The dining service is also good. The vibe in the restaurant is okay but not great. Definitely good for takeout but a plus if you're dining I. Is they have a full bar. read more

Absolutely love the food here and the service! Feels like a local family business and the prices are amazing! Definitely going to be a regular here read more

The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. The restaurant is a good setting for conversation. We ordered the gourmet dinner for three, which includes the pu-pu platter. I'm such a child that fire on the table is always a win for me. Highly recommend. My fortune was epic as well. read more

Post COVID19 pandemic review: I had been here several times, for lunch, prior to the pandemic and was never disappointed. Several of my neighbors claimed that Heaven Dragon's food had gone downhill recently. Even though, I wanted to give it a try. I took a friend here recently for lunch and decided to order something I enjoyed previously. Unfortunately, my neighbors were right. It was not anything like I remembered pre-pandemic. I will probably not return. read more

Heaven Dragon Chinese Restaurant - Lunch portion of shrimp and lobster sauce - Chinese Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Middle of the road Chinese food at best and they have raised their prices substantionally since 2019. I understand the price of food has gone up and inflation, but for the quality of the food, I think you can find better bang for your buck as most entrees are now over $15-16 bucks when they used to be $9-10. Again, the food is decent but not high quality and surly not worth it anymore sadly. The lemon chicken is good, it is our go-to. Sometimes it is crispier than others which means it's fresher and the egg rolls are delish! Sidenote: beware that fried rice here is really just white rice tossed in soy sauce, which is also kind of a bummer. If you are in a pinch or just really crazy any Chinese food, this will do, but if you want a knock-your-socks-off meal at a fair price, I would continue looking at options. read more

The people here are just so nice and overall the food is solid. We've eaten here numerous times and we keep coming back for both take-out and dine-in. While the service can be slow at times, their friendliness makes up for it. Some of the best General Tso's I've had anywhere. read more

Accommodated our party of 8 on short notice. Really delicious food. Service was attentive. Wish they'd had a round table for our group. They only have booths and square tables. read more

Our recent experience at a new to us Chinese restaurant in Denver was fairly unsatisfying, so we made the trek out to Arvada to visit an old pal. The food preparation is solid here for Americanized Chinese. The portions are ample. This is why we have gone out of our way to support this business every so often for the last 15 years. When ordering takeout, they are very efficient as they have a steady stream of business. This place isn't cheap but the portions reflect the pricing. The service is very cordial and friendly in a genuine way. The restaurant is a bit rundown but clean. read more

Heaven Dragon has good service, and reasonable prices of good quality American style Chinese food. Only comment is that they need to provide more vegetarian options particularly on the lunch menu. read more

This is always a reliable, pleasant option for Chinese! We do appreciate the lunch menu which offers a nice variety of options, most of which come with soup, egg roll, and rice. The steamed/pan fried dumplings are delicious and the dipping sauce is scrumptious! Our favorite entrees include sesame chicken/shrimp, kung pao anything, Singapore noodles, and moo goo gai pan. Service is always very good. read more

Do not use a card here CASH ONLY! My parents used a new credit card they received just days before when we ate here so the only charge SHOULD have been for the restaurant meal, however when they looked at the statement the next day, they had a charge for the meal as well as a $54 dollar charge to Apple (they are android user and do not have Apple accounts of any kind). We when went back to confront the charge, they blew use off like it was no big deal and told us to just call the credit card company to have it reversed. The waitress who served us was there and basically laughed us out of the place. Obviously we have no hard proof she used the card but it was only used ONCE and it was at this restaurant. Their lack of concern and demeanor towards my parents paired with the waitresses' guilty grin said all we needed to know. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

The food sector be really good but, the beef lo mein had a ton of oil in it. It turned my stomach after a few bites and ruined my night. The sesame chicken used to be absolutely wonderful. Not anymore. The chicken is tough, like jerky. I think they are cutting it smaller so it cooks much faster. Just terrible read more

I rarely go with 5 stars but I will say the few carry out orders so far have been delicious! I will go with "The best in Arvada". Recently ordered some appetizers. Fried crab meat cheese wantons and steamed dumplings. The crab meat wantons were good and I would say pretty standard around town, but the dumplings were amazing! HUGE, juicy with awesome flavor. Enough to call it a meal for sure! The staff is nice, the place is clean and all the food is above average with good portion size. I haven't seen anyone eating in the dining room so not sure if they allow it at this time. It does appear to be open for seating. Anyways, great local Chinese Food and definitely would recommend. Enjoy! read more

I have only had the Sesame Chicken & Shrimp Combination and that is enough to keep me going back. I'll try something else some day...

I ordered the Wor Wonton Soup for take out. Specifically wrote in the comments NO PORK SLICES in the soup, I cannot eat pork. Soup had pork slices, $15 for a quart of soup I couldn't eat. (They charge you $2 for soup noodles too!). Really, who charges for a small bag of noodles that have come with Chinese soup since time immortal? And they did not remedy my order, no call back, no answer to text or email. read more

This is a fine neighborhood restaurant that is comfortable and clean. The five of us enjoyed our lunch selections, especially with the hot chili oil. Our waitress was helpful and efficient. read more

This is my 'go to' Chinese restaurant. They have all the classics. As a family, we usually order Orange chicken, King Pao chicken, and beef and broccoli. Portions are large and family of 6 could easily share. Staff is friendly and always kind even when they have people standing out the door waiting to be seated or just there for their pick up order. read more

This place is near the worst Chinese food restaurant I've ever had the displeasure of visiting. I've tried them more than once so this review is not based on a single visit. The staff is lovely, the woman up front is as nice as can be. The restaurant is mostly clean. However, the food is garbage. They oil the heck out of every dish, even after requesting "light on the oil". This place is capable of causing coronary artery disease so watch out. They laden their dish's with so much sauce, that it flat out kills the dish. The dishes are more like a soup or stew that's loaded with msg and Canola oil. I've tried a number of their dishes and sadly they were all horrible. Lastly, their prices are through the roof. $17.95 for Chicken with Broccoli? It's madness. I suggest saving your wallet, your heart, and your sanity by visiting one of the much better Chinese restaurants down the road. read more

Really low end Chinese food. Walked in to an empty restaurant to pick up food and should have guessed then that it was not going to be good Got the food home and was very disappointed. Maybe the sweet and sour was not one of their better dishes read more

Food is awful. Meats are marinated (or I really should say, fat is marinated) to tenderize the fat. I ordered pork w/ garlic sauce. Dish was not edible. I picked apart what should have been the pork in the dish. I found nothing but pork fat. Horrible. I had to throw it away. We also ordered the beef and chicken dish. Beef was also marinated to hide the amount of fat contained in the meat. I've been running into this phenomenon recently where, low quality meat is marinated to death to hide the poor quality of the meat. Save yourself having to pay over $60 for 2 meals that requires one to chew rubbery meat that resembles chewing gum. read more

The food was good, the service was great and the portions were good excellent. I used to eat at the one in Thornton.

The food is ok, big portions but really heavy and super saucy. The service is fast but the place can get very busy. read more

This is our local spot to get Chinese food. It's very pretty inside with lots of attention to detailin the windows and work. Oversize pictures of whom I can only guess is the owner(?) sprawls the walls of him with famous people and dignitaries. What we swallowed for our lunch special: WONTON SOUP: This had really good flavor and the wontons were evenly ratio'd, which I appreciate. I enjoyed this soup. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/heaven-dragon-chinese-restaurant-arvada?select=2JxWUFwtqig4gg7moVDqaA EGG ROLL: Not too cabagey and had good flavors. WALNUT SHRIMP WITH STEAMED RICE: The shrimp was well breaded and not doused in sauce, which was great. They gave a good, hearty serving of shrimp for a lunch plan and I walked out there super stuffed. This was a really good choice. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/heaven-dragon-chinese-restaurant-arvada?select=Z9Wj3n8s-T_o8w5et8dFqg Friendly staff. We've ordered several times take-out and the food has been consistent. Very good. read more

This is my fav Chinese restaurant in the Arvada area. I always get the sesame tofu. It's the BEST - tofu is crispy and the sauce is perfect. FYI - if you're vegan like me, don't get the lunch special because it comes with a Rangoon and egg roll. Also - each of their locations seems similar but your food will be a bit different. Still good but just another FYI. Otherwise, love this place! read more

Mongolian triple delight was five star! Vietnamese egg rolls as well. Great service - we will be back.

I food poison las night for the fried rice. The duck was really bad. Dry and nasty flavor. The orange chicken was good. We believed the restaurant cross contaminated the fry rice with other elements which cause the food poison reaction. read more

Heaven Dragon Chinese Restaurant - The worst duck dish ever. Also,we got allergic reaction while eating the fried rice. We assumed the cross contaminated the food. - Chinese Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

The only reason they get a "5" is because you can't give a "10". OMG their orange chicken is to die for (General Tso the same), and the fried rice (chicken or veggie) is awesome. The chicken fried rice is full of white meat chicken. Who does that? Love it! I'm not a Mongolian beef guy, but customers tell me it's also terrific, along with the sesame chicken. Right now on a Friday night they are overwhelmed. I waited a very long time (95 minutes). I can't blame them for that - nobody wants to cook on a Friday night and the other Chinese place down the road is closed (why?). We've done takeout here probably 20 times. The food has always been awesome. The orders are correct and hot. No reason to go elsewhere. Sometimes I think the prices are a buck or two high... then I eat the food and I'm in heaven ( no dragon). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I was visiting a friend in Arvada and we decided on Chinese takeout near his house. Heaven Dragon was close and didn't have really bad reviews so we ordered pork asparagus in black bean sauce and "treasure of the sea". They were ready when we picked up and the food was hot. However, when we opened it at home, it had leaked (onto my pants too.) Then the big disappointment. The food was utterly forgettable and even somewhat repulsive. The "treasure of the sea" was supposed to have crab meat but had "krab" (fake crab) instead. The sauce was too thick, the cloudy-clear whitish stuff that resembles the unmentionable, and it was tasteless. The vegetables were overcooked, and while the seafood was good the sauce and vegetables really made the dish "meh." Then the pork asparagus in bean sauce disappointed even more. Super gluey, sweet and tasteless sauce and utterly dead and overcooked veggies ruined the dish totally. None of us could even eat regular portions. What a disappointment: I won't be back. read more

Great food, would love to know where the people that say it is only so-so get their Chinese food.

Much like the Chinese food I remember growing up on the east coast, can take a lot of times calling to get through but generally worth the effort. read more
