    Drunken Noodles Sesame Chicken Fried Rice Small Hot & Sour Soup  Small Won Ton Soup
    Taylor T.

    Little Dragon is our go-to for Chinese Takeout! It's a bit of a drive away from us (about 20-25 minutes) but we'd rather make the commute than order somewhere closer to us. We tried a few other restaurants but they just didn't live up to LD. Everything always tastes amazing, is hot and ready, good family sharing portions, and has an authentic quality about it. Nothing fusion based. We always order take-out since live far away, but even if you live close-by, they do not have indoor seating! I'm not 100% sure why but we can only assume that COVID probably changed this. We have no complaints and the restaurant seems to be doing just fine without dine-in!

    Beef chow fun
    Kevin W.

    Little Dragon gets a solid 4 out of 5 as it serves good Chinese American style take out. It's actually one of the better ones in the area if I'm not craving anything authentic Chinese. The beef chow fun is actually one of the best I've had in Denver and highly recommend. The portion is big and the beef is well seasoned. The noodles are soft but also firm as you would expect in really well made chow fun. I've ordered the same dishes at other places and found many of it bland or not seasoned enough, so this fish gets a 5 star! I've had their salt and pepper chicken, general tsos, and orange chicken and all to be good! Take out is quick and easy and is in my rotation whenever I order through door dash. This little dragon restaurant gets a recommendation in my book!

    Best Chinese food near Central Park! Huge portions with lots of flavor. Restaurant is take out and delivery only but provides very fast service. There are always people ordering in person and waiting outside. Their menu is sorted by popular items such as sesame chicken and lo mein. Our favorite is the drunken noodle with chicken.

    I've expressed my love for Chinese takeout numerous times over the years on Yelp. There's something about it that's extremely comforting, something that forces me to grin from ear to ear. I'm rarely not in the mood for it. Last week was not my first at Little Dragon, but my first time in quite some time. Strictly for proximity reasons, Little Dragon won't be my go-to spot. However, we have close friends who live a half mile away. And now that we're vaccinated and hosting gatherings again, it was a no brainer to place a big ol' pickup order when we hung out at our friend's place. The main positive characteristic of Little Dragon is that the food is always fresh, not oily and made with real ingredients. You can see it in their preparation and taste the difference. Really the only downfall with other Chinese takeout joints is that the food has been sitting around for a while, so they try to mask up the dish with oil and sauce. Not here thankfully! Placing an order over the phone is quick and painless. They usually throw in some hot and sour soup on the house, too. The employees are friendly and the food continually on point. Last week's BBQ Pork Lo Mein hit the spot. Same for the Crab Wontons, Veggie Spring Rolls and whatever else we ordered. I highly doubt anyone would have a bad experience here. You can tell the owners and staff really care about their clientele. Maybe I should move to E Colfax just so I can eat here more frequently!

    Update: got the opportunity to visit Little Dragon again and they did not let down with the Chicken Salt n Pepper. I really wish I got the Mongolian Beef again but I opted for some crab wontons and a side of fried rice. Fried rice was good but nothing amazing and the crab wontons weren't amazing but still very good (you get a lot of them which was a plus) but let's face it I went for the Salt n Pepper (: 10/10 right there. There was a friendly gentleman by the name of Chuck outside and asked if I could order him something so I told him to pick whatever he wanted off the menu. Chuck's go-to was the sweet n sour chicken with no veggies (but keep the pineapple). He said he likes veggies but more so when they are cooked longer and more soft instead of a crunch. Super nice man and shook my hand thanking me for the meal. Times are hard out there so always do what you can to help others if you can afford it. Stay safe out there Chuck! -Evan from Seattle

    Chicken in garlic sauce
    Anushka M.

    I can't recommend this place enough!! I'd grab takeout from here at least once a week because it's that delicious. I always order the chicken in garlic sauce and chicken lo mein. The employees who work there are so sweet and helpful. They really make ordering and picking it up very easy. Just call and place your order. Around 15-20 minutes later it'll be ready to pickup. The chicken in garlic sauce is probably the best dish I've had, and chicken lo mein is so delicious. Unfortunately I moved out of the state but I really think about this place often and have been on the hunt for something similar but haven't found anything yet. This place is a must!

    Ultimate Friday night takeout situation. Sesame chicken and tofu lettuce wraps.
    Taylor S.

    A friend gave me a bite of her sesame chicken when one night when we'd ordered takeout from two different places. I was hooked from the start! So meaty vs. covered in thick batter. The wraps are also tasty and my partner seemed to LOVE the dumplings. A few fave for sure!

    General Tsao's Chicken - huge portion and wonderfully made!

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.

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.

Lately it feels like a lot of restaurants are charging more while giving less, and it's getting harder to find places that actually care about the customer experience. Unfortunately, this was another one of those experiences. We ordered three side dishes and three drinks, and the bill came out to around $100. Two of the three sides were served cold, the dumplings at least came out hot, but they were pretty mediocre and nothing I'd order again and drinks were extremely over priced. The waitress was fine, no real issues there, but it did feel like the food may have been sitting in the kitchen too long before it hit the table even though the place was empty. At the end of the day, it's hard to justify paying that kind of money for cold, underwhelming food, then feeling awkward about the tip because the experience just wasn't good. I won't be back. If I had known this is what the experience was I would have definitely gone somewhere else. As an added bonus I felt like crap afterwords, I think it was because of poor quality ingredients. My aim in writing these reviews is to highlight the restaurants and businesses that truly take care of their customers, to give people a heads up about the ones that clearly do not prioritize quality or the customer experience, and to express myself in a world where it often feels like there is very little room to speak honestly about paying top dollar for mediocre experiences. Very disappointing.
