GreT place for Chinese food. Really large portions and the lunch specials are amazing. I like the green beans with pork.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Denver area. I drive 13 miles out of the way to eat there. The owner is always there when I go making sure everyone is well taken care of and the service is good. The best part of course is the food. I like the pineapple chicken, and beef with broccoli. read more

Great Chinese food and great service at great prices! I would give more stars but Chinese food does not excite me like other Asian foods. I guess it is because it is the first Asian food I have ever had and grew up with Chinese food as a go to Asian craving. It was not until my mid twenties that i discovered Vietnamese, and late thirties Thai. So Chinese food kind of bores me. The owner is usually up front to greet people. He is a bit of a legend in the n. Metro area. He has served presidents and important U.S. dignitaries! If you love Chinese food this place is a must try! read more

The food was very good, the service was fast, the portions were huge and priced really well! I highly recommend this place!

When it comes to delicious, surprisingly affordable Chinese food this is the place to go! My husband and I swing by Heaven Dragon every few weeks during their lunch hours when a full, massive, meal is only $6-$7 per person. It's such a steal, and a cheap way to enjoy the best Chinese food we've had in the area. Our personal favorites are the Sweet and Sour Chicken and the Sesame Chicken, both which are dishes to die for. We've traveled to many other Chinese restaurants in Thornton, Denver, and Lakewood and have yet to find one that we prefer over Heaven Dragon. We've been consistent customers there since around 2000 and the food quality is still just as good. Plus the lunch deal is just so cheap you really can't go wrong. The one thing that makes giggle every time we go is all of the bad typos on their menu. Totally not a big deal at all but surprising that they've been on there that long! This place is also perfect for big groups, we often go with large groups of friends and order a couple of their larger dinner dishes to split between everyone. It's really inexpensive if done that way and everyone leaves happy. read more

Usually we love this place, but lately it has gone down hill. The food tasted burnt, which is weird because it came out so fast. ‍

I'm not sure why anyone rates this place with a high score. We ordered takeout for the first time and the food was awful. Everything was bland and they didn't get my chicken order right. I asked that they make it spicy and it was far from it. I won't return. read more

Watch your receipt, WATCH YOUR RECEIPT! I have eaten at this place for many many years. The quality of the food has really gone down, some of the staff is super rude, and THEY OVERCHARGE! 3 times now we have caught this. Once by 65 cents, once by 2.12, and once by 1.58. It's "only" a bit, but it adds up (imagine how many customers they have a day). The way the "receipts" are written out you can't easily see the totals. They "add" it for you. Sadly after SO many years eating here. We are done. read more

Excellent service and the food was very tasty. I ordered the new dish of siracha chicken and my husband ordered the combo lo mein. I was very surprised at the amount of food first of all, then we were very pleased with the tastiness of all our dishes. Definitely going again soon. read more

I have always liked there door and for the most part we always order, today was the worst experience I have had we decided to dine in , the waiter was very rude from the start and she would not stop saying mamasita to the females in are party very rude and sexes and when it came to Oder the waiter pretty much ordered for us when we said no this is what we wanted, she said ok and when the food came out it was the food the waiter wanted!!!! Med way trough are lunch she brought the check and she was very pushy in making us pay, even though we were still eating.. after we payed she came by with food of her own and sat on the table behind us , making it seem she was in a hurry to eat lunch ... worst experience ever I will take my business somewhere else read more

Awesome portions for lunch at a great price. The food is always consistant and taste great. Wish there was a delivery service, but have no problem ordering carry out since they are always fast and efficient. Enjoy this place for food, but service can be hot and miss. Had a time or two where it took a very long time for server to come around and they seemed very overwhelmed. I can see why they would be busy because of the yummy food though. read more

The food was decent but the server was a bit of a witch. The carpet was filthy and worn.

Heaven Dragon has good food, perhaps the best in the area when deciding between Crystal Island, China 2000, United Chinese. My little ones love the chicken fried rice and we've enjoyed delicious Mongolian beef, chicken chow mein, and honey walnut shrimp. I recommend that you order for pick up. The dining area is dingy and needs updating. The service is unfriendly. read more

Got the beef drunken noodles and a large wanton soup to go. The noodles were okay but the soup ended up leaking out of the bag and onto my car seat. This could have been easily prevented if it were put in a plastic bag but now my car will need to be cleaned. The soup also had a seafood taste to it which made it less enjoyable for myself and unenjoyable for the person who doesn't like seafood. read more

Been here for the lunch special on a few occasions - always been happy, good food. Went for dinner with the family telling all how good the place is. Man what a terrible experience, the worst ever at a Chinese place. The server was rude and downright mad and curt. She just dumped food on the table, brought our main course 1 min after she dumped the poopoo platter on the table, never came back to ask how our terrible food was. The sesame chicken was overcooked and rubbery. Wife ordered vegetable fired rice and it had peas and snow peas in it, I ordered garlic chicken and it came with squash, carrots. and 4 other vegetables, when I asked the rude server why her friedd rice had no vegetables in it she says, we only serve what vegetable we have, I said but, mine had squash, carrots why didn't you put it in her fried rice, she looked at me and said nothing and walked away. I told her we were not happy she looked at me and said nothing and left us the full bill. DONT GO TO THIS PLACE IT SUCKS. Stay away the worst food and rudest service I have ever had a Chinese food place. read more

Great, solid chinese food accross the menu. Fantastic fast service, quality food, interesting menu. Great place for chinese for lunch, dinner, or take out. There are a lot of pictures of Republicans on the wall if that freaks you out. One of the few places in the North Suburbs where you can get seated or pickup takeout after 9PM. Try it! I especially like the crispy prawns - if you ask they can make any dish as spicy as you like. read more

Being honest here as someone who has been coming to this place for half a decade, the inside looks very bad. They need some sort of renovation, is also quite dirty (some places is very dusty) and the food quality is still kind of the same, but it did drop a bit. However, beside it being a bit old/run down and food quality dropping a bit, why would I give it 1 star? Well the service has gone to the absolute worst, waitress was the worst I've seen in a long time. She was very kind but it seems like the restaurant work is getting to her. So maybe try hiring new waitresses/waiters and train them, since even though the waitresses has a lot of experiences by working for nearly 2 decades, they are getting tired of this line of work. So by putting off some of their loads by having new workers would help. read more

Why does no one say anything about how dirty this place is???!! Years of caked up dust everywhere and the carpet is disgusting..looks like its never been vacuumed. It just makes me wonder how dirty the kitchen is if they can't clean the dinning room. Even the tables and chairs are falling apart and barely held together with visible old yellow glue. We questioned even leaving before ordering but we wanted to give the place a chance. The food was mediocre...we ordered General Tso chicken and Beef lo mean with the dinner special. Got hot and sour soup with an egg roll and wonton... everything was just okay...nothing great. But the whole time I couldn't stop thinking about how dirty this place was yet no one seems to notice. I was terrified to even see what the restrooms would look like. Service was not friendly at all..server was rude and rushed, never refilled drinks and seemed like we were bothering her. The owner never stopped by our table like other reviewers said and looked like he had just rolled out of bed. Needless to say, after reading all the Yelp reviews we were excited to finally find a good chinese restaurant... but we were highly disappointed and will not be returning. We wound up throwing out the leftovers on the way home because of how disgusted we were with the atmosphere. I couldn't even bring myself to order takeout after seeing this place. I would not recommend this place AT ALL and would be embarrassed to bring anyone here. I just can't believe no one else has mentioned the cleanliness. PS....Who cares about the so-called GOP decor, Clean the place!! BTW what is GOP decor anyways???!! Just cuz there are pictures??? I saw Hillary Clinton on the wall too people!! read more

Horrible!! I gave 1 star because zero stars is not an option. Ordered brown rice. Received white rice with soy sauce!! (Pic 1) My guess is they ran out and decided to go cheap. Ordered Pad Thai, which is traditionally gluten free. When I mentioned this to the person answering the phone, they hesitated, stated they would make it gluten free. I received a box of slimy vegetables. (Pic 2) So disgusted! They advertise rice noodles on their menu! Not a noodle to be seen. This joke of a restaurant banks on locals to make their money. They wouldn't know authenticity if it hit them in the face! Don't waste your time or money on fake food and lousy cooking! read more

Heaven Dragon - Chinese Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

See all

I can't believe some of the reviews on here. This is the best Chinese food I have ever had. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and I can't say I've ever had bad service here. However, if the service were less than stellar on any of my future visits, I'd shrug it off, put on my big boy pants, and come back. The food is that good IMO. read more

Ummmmmmm kitchen staff just pee'd with his apron on and didn't wash his hands... I complained and the lady said "no sur".. Ummm got my money back.... And dipped. read more

If you have the patience of a saint to tolerate the complete rudeness of the entire staff, the food is overall decent.

Heaven Dragon should be renamed something like "Phony Chinese Slop Shop". The so called food in this restaurant can be described in one word - revolting. The hot and sour soup was canned chicken broth, boiled, with a bit of flour in it to thicken. The Kung Pao Beef was soaked in so much salt, it was inedible. The rice was like little pieces of gravel. The General Tso Chicken was the texture of deep fried balsa wood, stank from its age (probably formerly frozen several times and obviously months old) covered with about half a cup of corn syrup. In all my travels, all over the world, I have never had a worse meal. We had about three bites, paid and walked out. Moreover, for those of you of a more progressive persuasion, the decor in the place consists of the owner's three foot tall photographs of him with GW Bush, GHW Bush, Dick Cheney and other fascist icons. Lovely. read more

We have been here multiple times over the last several years just for the food. The service is always rude and less than desirable, but the food kept us coming back. Never again! The fried rice is literally rice fried with soy sauce. No egg, no vegetables. The crab cheese wontons have no crab, or even artificial crab. The egg rolls, usually my favorite, are not edible, and slightly smelled like trash. I will never dine here again. This place used to have awesome food, but it has been drastically declining. If you want some good food and good service, I recommend China 2000, right down the street. They even deliver. read more

Heaven Dragon has, by far, the best Chinese food in Colorado. It isn't even close. It is simply amazing! We always order the Mongolian Beef and the Sesame Chicken, with Fried Crab Cheese Wontons. You will not be disappointed! read more

We have been ordering from HD for at least 10 or 15 years having lived in Thornton for 20 plus years. We decided to order supper from them last night. That was a mistake. We ordered the Vietnamese egg rolls. We threw most of that away. My wife and I shared a plate of orange chicken. Nothing special. This restaurant has a quite a following in our area and at one time the food was deserving of its popularity. After the meal we had last night I would say that their run is coming to an end. read more

In the past this used to be a great restaurant .. But today was the rudest, and worst service I have ever received. I was so embarrassed to bring my whole family there for Mothers Day. Walmart had better service, that's how bad it was. I was incredibly disappointed. Don't know that we will ever be back. read more

This place came high recommended and it was an overall disappointment. The decor and atmosphere is super cool but the food is lacking a lot. Our chicken wings were dry and flavorless, my kung-pao chicken was a complete disaster, and my bill was way too high for the quality of food and service we received. read more

Been here once and loved it! Sesame chicken was not too tangy, not too sweet, with a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds. Complete with those crunchy rice noodle thingies and an ice-cold water (always kept filled). Yum! read more

Sometimes a long wait, I would not suggest ordering on a Friday night very busy also I feel they are rude at times. When you are not sure the number your friend put the order in they are very quick to help the next person and ask you to step aside. read more

If you like good quality asian food with actual fresh veggies this is the place..I started going here when I lived in Thornton 11 years ago and have been a regular since.I have run into the owner several times in the grocery store getting fresh product for that day,that is a good feeling.. read more

Awesome. Food, service and decor. We went for lunch and the specials they have are great. Lots of options, choice of 3 soups, choice of steamed or fried rice and the lunch plates come with a spring rolls and a wonton which is pretty cool. The overall meal was great especially for the price we paid. The owner and 2 other employees were in the next room making Wonton's by hand which is awesome to see that we are getting freshly made ones. The service was very good and our waiter refilled our drinks when they got to the halfway point which was very much appreciated. The inside is awesome. From floor to ceiling the attention to detail is really cool, even the ceiling tiles have dragons on them. We will be going here again! read more

We went there based on recommendations from friends and their advertising of celebrity attendances. I was a little disappointed. The service was great the decor was great but the ambiance and food was distinctly average american. Overall I enjoy P.F. Chang's for average american Chinese a lot better. Their dishes sounded interesting and unique but what was served was nothing spectacular. We all ordered spicy dishes that were delivered to the table with out a hint of spiciness very disappointing. I won't be driving out of my way to visit this place again. read more

I came in here recently for dinner. It had a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty food. They were a bit pricey than I would have normally paid. I got my order to go so I can't comment on the attentiveness of the staff once the food came, but I can say the food was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely come back. read more

My favorite sesame chicken is from here..... By far! The lunch special is such an awesome deal with a great price....lots on your plate.

This is our current go-to place for Chinese food. Their take-out is always lightning-fast, and they are incredibly consistent with our orders--never had a mix-up or a mistake, even though I always place a specialized order. read more

Service was fast and friendly, the place has a good feel to it, but the food just plain sucks...

Food is very good and quick. Sometimes pack the to-go bags and sauces oozes out, but I'm a fan. Very good selection of American Chinese classics and some interesting options, including steamed anything (if you are health conscious). read more

On a scale from PF Changs fakery to your friend's Asian grandma's cooking, Heaven Dragon is practically like renting your own Asian grandma for the evening. If this isn't authentic, then everything I know about food is a lie. The taste of food is top-notch and the cultural environment is to die for. Mr. Tang has personally met politicians on either side of the aisle, demonstrating his likability and prowess as a business owner. This restaurant has touched my heart in a way I didn't think was possible. Please frequent this establishment and encourage Mr. Tang to run for political office. read more

This would have been 5 stars for the food. Its really good. But had to drop off a couple stars as i dont think they ever dust this place. Cob webs hanging from the ceiling and backs of chairs filled with dust. If they would clean up and replace the old torn carpet...held together with staples it would be 5 stars for sure. Too bad read more
