    Orange Chicken Lunch Special
    Kayla L.

    So many great things to say about this place! The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was amazing. They have a decent amount of seating inside with artwork done on the walls by the owner. Their current lunch special is such a great deal! The crab and cheese wontons are the best I've ever had. Super fresh, perfectly crispy, and full of flavor, not processed tasting at all. My partner usually avoids them for that reason and even they loved them. The orange chicken was another standout. The sauce tasted fresh and balanced, not overly sweet or artificial like you sometimes get at other places We'll definitely be back, I highly recommend. Go out and support a family owned business

    This place is an amazing affordable hidden gem that I never knew existed near my house until recently. I walked in after buying some pastries nearby and I am so happy I did. They have amazing lunch specials and the portions are even better!! Their food is delicious, restaurant clean, and best of all the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I loved it. Great first impression. Will definitely be going back for lunch.

    Saw this place on tiktok, looked at food pics and decided I had to come. Order beef and broccoli with fried rice and an order of crab rangoon and everything was fresh and yummy. The owner was super sweet. And the music, it was nice to have good singalong music playing.

    Beef and Broccoli

    If you're searching for the best traditional Chinese food in Denver, I highly recommend visiting Jade Cafe. This family-owned Chinese restaurant in Denver, CO (80227) truly delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by an amazing and friendly team that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's clear that customer service is a priority here, and that level of hospitality makes a big difference. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, the staff is attentive, efficient, and genuinely kind. I always order for takeout & it's great! One of the standout qualities of Jade Cafe is how fast and consistent the food service is, without ever sacrificing quality. The dishes come out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, making it an ideal spot for both a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner with family and friends. Now let's talk about the food, because this is where Jade Cafe really shines. The Sesame Chicken (available in white or dark meat) is a must-try! perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a rich, balanced sauce. The Orange Chicken is equally impressive, offering a bright citrus flavor with just the right amount of sweetness and a satisfying crunch. If you enjoy classic favorites, the Sweet & Sour Chicken is done exceptionally well crispy, flavorful, and paired with a vibrant sauce that hits that perfect sweet and tangy balance. The Beef and Broccoli is another staple done right, featuring tender slices of beef and fresh broccoli cooked in a savory, well-seasoned sauce that pairs perfectly with steamed rice. A visit here wouldn't be complete without ordering the Cheese Wontons, which are absolutely a must-order appetizer. They're golden, crispy, and filled with a creamy, flavorful center that keeps you coming back for more. Be sure to also try their egg rolls which complement the meal perfectly and add even more variety to the table. Many drinks to pick from as well, adds a nice refreshing touch along with the meals. What sets Jade Cafe apart is its ability to combine authentic flavors, fast service, and a welcoming family-owned atmosphere all in one place. It's no surprise this spot is becoming a go-to for locals looking for good-quality Chinese food in Denver. If you're in the Denver, CO 80227 area and craving delicious, reliable Chinese cuisine, Jade Cafe should absolutely be on your list. This is the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Chinese food, fast service, and a friendly dining experience in Denver!

The dining room is still closed, they essentially keep the dining room as a storage closet lol. You walk in to pick up your order and they have tables blocking the entry, that's where you pay for your food. The portions are still as giant as ever, and the prices are still affordable. My wife and I had a hankering the other day for our old stomping grounds, so we jetted over there to pickup an order. It was ready in 10 minutes and two meals ran us $32. I think I pay $32 for a good cup of coffee these days!!!!!! I kid, I kid. The meal lasts you for days, you really get two giant sized portions out of it. It will probably last some of you three days. They don't skimp out here and it's incredible. They serve Asian fusion, Chinese American meals that are addictive. Or is that the MSG??? Probably so, and that's why it's delicious. The food is just so damn craveable! Don't break the bank. Get what you really want. Taste of China, we still love you so much.

(Note, they are closed on Tuesdays.) I placed our pickup order on a Saturday night & it was ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant is for take-out only. Our food was in containers & placed in a box. I appreciated this since there was no way anything was going to tip over & spill. Very friendly phone & counter service as well. Note, you get six free Cheese Wontons when your order is more than $40. We ordered three different entrees with three different sides - Steamed White Rice, Fried Rice & Lo Mein Noodles. The sides were good, however the fried rice didn't seem fried, it was white rice with soy sauce. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp Entree was tasty - the shrimp were medium sized, cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. The Sesame Chicken Entree was even better, the chicken was moist & tender. The beef in the Mongolian Beef Entree was great however there were way too many onions in the dish. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

I am so glad that they are so consistent and have not changed recipes or adjusted seasonings. Ordered our two favorites - pickled pepper beef and mapo tofu. Then the string beans and a new dish - sauerkraut fish filet. The sauerkraut fish filet reminded me of the Vietnamese catfish soup but no sweetness added. Very good dish and will def order again. Also love that they have quality rice here.

    Decided to come here because I was craving Chinese food and heard good things about this place…read more Figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the fried tofu (with peppers and onions), orange chicken, fried fish fillet, and veggie delight (mixed veggies). The fried fish fillet was definitely the standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a light, tangy layer of sauce that added flavor without making it soggy. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. The fried tofu was also really solid and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The peppers and onions complemented it well without overpowering the tofu itself. The orange chicken was okay. I tend to compare orange chicken to Panda Express (probably unfair, but it's my benchmark), and this one didn't quite hit that same balance of crispiness and sauce. I think if it had a bit more meat within each piece, would be better. The mixed vegetables were decent but not something I'd order again. They felt a bit drenched in sauce and didn't have much depth in flavor. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting an elderly woman who helps out when it gets busy. She mentioned she was the former owner. She was incredibly kind, and we ended up having a really nice conversation in Mandarin. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. Otherwise, really nice venue with lots of space and tables. Waiters always refilled my water, which is a good plus. Also gave me fresh rice when I took the leftovers to go. Overall, a solid meal with a couple standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the fried fish fillet and tofu. Will be back to try their other dishes.
