    Sesame Chicken Dinner
    Courtney T.

    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!!!

    Sesame Chicken Dinner

    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.

    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.

    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.

(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.

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.

You should order everything you should try everything it's worth it. Nothing was bad. When I'm eating dim sum I want to be impulsive and just eat whatever's in front of me and you can do this with this menu. Now I did go into the restaurant to pick up my order and I will say ambience was very cool, I really would like to come back and actually di e i . It seemed like it would be a great experience.

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.
