    Sweet and sour chicken with steamed rice and crispy veggie roll.
    Denise G.

    I stopped by during their lunch special on a Wednesday afternoon while on vacation in Denver. I was immediately greeted and served water and given a menu. Prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch special with steamed rice and a crispy veggie roll. It also comes with a choice of soup but I let the server know that it was too much food for me so I didn't want to waste it. Huge portions and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

    Sesame Chicken Dinner

    We were craving Chinese food and saw some good reviews for Little Ginko. Service was fast, food came out even faster. We started with some soups (hot&sour and egg drop soup) and both were very good. The entrees were a bit less fulfilling and I would probably give them a 3.5/5. The sesame chicken was way too breaded. And the combination fried rice has some pretty poor quality cuts of meat (I thought the chicken might have even been a bit undercooked, just picked those pieces out). For the price the food was fine, but not the best we've had in Denver.

    Comfy interior.

    I had a delightful lunch here today. Friendly service, clean and attractive premises. Had Sesame Chicken lunch which came with soup, rice and spring roll. very tasty. Definitely will be back.

    Love the pain lo mein, honey chicken, and sesame chicken. Consistently amazing every time. We prefer to eat in the restaurant vs takeout.

    Cute little place
    Pamela M.

    Really cute little place and they have a good amount of options, lunch specials, and they also have some adult drink options. It's taken me forever living in the area to get here. I'm glad I finally tried it. It's just so adorable and cozy inside and has that small owner feel to it. The server was working hard and super pleasant. Definitely check out and support this little gem!!!

    Drunken noodles.

    We were in Denver last week to see Crowded House (outstanding!) and we found Little Gingko about a block from our Airbnb. They have a wide variety of entrees and appetizers. We started with some crab cheese wontons which were really tasty and some genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice). For entrees, I had some really delicious Singapore curry noodles with chicken and shrimp. It was fantastic, and I had enough for some leftovers later. My husband enjoyed his drunken noodles very much as well. If you're in Denver's Capitol Hill area, stop in at Little Gingko for wonderful Asian food.

    Sesame Chicken Dinner
    Alec G.

    Adorable, family-owned spot right off 13th avenue. The portion sizes are large and flavorful. Service was excellent. I really enjoyed the chicken chow fun and the sesame chicken. My friend enjoyed the curry that they ordered.

    My family and I loved eating here! We got cashew chicken, orange chicken, pineapple chicken, beef lo mien, wontons and mochi. The portions were huge but it was so good we cleaned our plates! It was very nice and clean too.

    Crispy Red Snapper (breaded not crispy) Wonton soup (disappointing) Red sauce (flavorful)
    Dedo K.

    This restaurant left me underwhelmed. I ordered the crispy red snapper and it came breaded in pieces. I was expecting a full fish that was fried. It came with white rice and some vegetables. The saving grace was the sauce that came with the breaded red snapper. It was so breaded that I couldn't even taste the flavors of the red snapper. I question if it even was red snapper! The wonton soup was so disappointing. There were only two wontons, m some veggies, and the broth was very salty. I ordered through GrubHub and of course the prices were outrageous with all of the service fees and other nonsense. Maybe I will give this restaurant another try and order something very simple that I know it will be what I ordered and expect. Definitely not a place that I would frequent on a regular basis.

    West Lake Beef Soup to go.

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.

(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.

The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out.

My group of 7 shared the roasted pork, pork and duck barbecue. I'm not a fan of duck so it would not be fair for me to write anything about it, but those who loved duck meat said that this place serve wonderful barbecue duck. As for the pork, both roasted and barbecue, they were so good. We had a little bit of white rice to eat with the meat, but really, you don't need the extra rice in order to eat these two types of pork meats. Since both styles of the pork were prepared differently, I cannot say one is better than the other: they were both delicious. The crunchiness and the flavorful from the roasted pork, as well as the aroma and the soft chewy from the barbecue pork, brings this dining experience to the next level. We also ordered the yu stir fry choy sum in garlic, the combination fried rice, and salt and pepper shrimp. I highly recommend the yu choy and shrimp dishes. I would skip the fried rice and get their beef chow fun, which is exactly what my other group of 6 did. In addition to what were mentioned above, they ordered Chinese broccoli, daikon and beef in clay pot, Taishan five spice duck, salted fish & chicken fried rice. Everyone enjoyed their food and dining experience here. Conversations were easily understood and heard. When asked what their favorite dish was, all of us said we liked everything, but when pressed to give one special dish, several folks mentioned the roasted pork, the clay pot, and the salt and pepper shrimp.
