We were looking for a place to eat along Colfax, and saw that this place seemed to be hopping. There was a steady line of people coming in to pick up their takeout orders, so we figured that had to be a sign that the food was good, and it did not disappoint. I orders the General Tso's Chicken. I liked their twist on it by adding in broccoli and bell peppers to the mix. The sauce was a bit lighter in flavor than I am used to, and not that typical deep red color, but it was still delicious nonetheless. The chicken was very crispy, and the portion sizes were generous. I had enough to bring home for lunch. My partner order the Drunken Noodle, which he devoured quickly. Luckily I was able to sneak a few bites. The noodle texture was great, and the chicken and vegetables were cut at appropriate sizes that made the dish feel cohesive. It had a very punchy basil flavor, which I really enjoyed. Upon entering, there is a bar area with a bit of seating and a separate dining room. It wasn't too loud, and the restaurant felt welcoming, especially with the delicious aromas of the kitchen wafting through the place. The servers were very friendly and checked in on us numerous times to see how everything was. read more

Very consistent, tasty and fresh. I have always had fast delivery or friendly service while dining in. There is great selection and plenty of options for vegetarians. I really like the chili oil and Yushan dishes! Serving sizes are generous. A go to spot for Asian food :)! read more

This place has steadily slipped, food orders are always perfect and on-time but food quality is enough to go elsewhere sadly.

I've been ordering takeout and dining in at Pepper Asian Bistro for years and they have been one of the most solidly consistent restaurants I've ever experienced I have yet to find an item on their menu I wouldn't order again. Everything I've had from them is delicious. Gluten free options are great too The staff is always very nice and service, both in store and delivery, is super quick. This might just be my favorite place in Denver! read more

One of my favorites for Asian cuisine. I've tried the pad see ew, pad Thai, chicken coconut soup, and one of their chicken dishes. All great. I have only done carry out but keep meaning to try dine in on nicer days with the open windows. The place always looks decently busy inside but the food is prepared timely and always hot. The staff is friendly and whenever we order online, they call and confirm it's correct. read more

Really fast service and very friendly. I love their Yoshu chicken and their mango lunch chicken! Definitely pop in for their crab rangoons as well! read more

This is by far my favorite place to order Asian food in the city. We get a mix of Chinese and Thai style dishes like beef and broccoli, pad se ew, General Tso's, etc; everything is always fresh and delicious. My order is always correct and if they have any questions they take the time to call me. Amazing, thank you. Their wonton soup is so yummy I often order two, but never less than a large. They also have bags of crispy noodles on the side - being from the east coast this is something I grew up with and it's my cherry on top. This is the spot. Check 'em out. read more

so delicious!!! i ordered the pork eggrolls and the sesame tofu. both were so tasty and very fresh. the portion sizes are amazing, and the prices are even better! service is amazing and very fast. i will definitely be coming back it's amazing read more

I thought it was just okay, but in their defense it was Christmas Eve and they were packed! I went with a group of 10 and we had reservations and were seated right away. They were willing to do separate checks which was appreciated. After our orders were taken, one person in the group got her meal before any of us got our appetizers and she questioned if it was for her and they said yes. However, after she took a couple of bites, they came back and took it away because it was for someone else. When they delivered the right food they had no idea which dishes went with which person, so it was a little chaotic with 10 people. I had to ask a couple of times for a water refill and would've ordered a second glass of wine, but no one checked in. The food was fine, but didn't stand out. read more

I've never actually been to the restaurant, but I may or may not have ordered delivery twice this week already. I can speak for 4 menu items: Mongolian Chicken, Orange Chicken, Crab Rangoons, and Fresh Rolls. Let's get started! Mongolian Chicken: Tasty. I love onions and this really hit the spot. No complaints at all. Orange Chicken: OBSESSED! This is the best orange chicken I've had since a spot in the Delmar Loop in STL. You can actually taste the orange flavor with this one! So many others just tasted like sweet and sour with an orange slice on top, but not this one. They get the spice levels just right as well. But the best part is that it's crispy on the outside and there's actual meat on the inside that isn't dried out. Have I said how obsessed I am with the orange chicken? If I could say one thing, I would say I would prefer to just have the chicken with a small side of veggies instead of a third of the container being veggies, but that's only because I'm obsessed. Crab Rangoons: These are just okay. Not bad, but not great either. The mustard sweet and sour is... interesting. Fresh Rolls: Disclaimer: I'm not a shrimp fan, so I usually pull them out, but these are really good and hit the spot every time. The star of this dish though is the peanut sauce. It's highly addictive. I've tried a couple times to make it myself and it's just not as good. I don't know what they put in it, but you WILL want more. I've tried almost every Asian/Chinese place in Denver, and Pepper Asian Bistro is by far and away the best I've found and I'm pretty darn picky. I haven't been to the actual restaurant, since I ordered through Uber Eats, so for food to be this good being delivered, I can't imagine how great it is at the actual place! UPDATE: I decided to stop at the restaurant on my way home from a doctor's appointment and just when I didn't think it could get better, it DID! The service is wonderful, the staff are very friendly, and the food when it's right from the kitchen is phenomenal. This will now be my regular stop after my bi-weekly appointments. read more

Consistent. Quick. Delicious. I've been eating here for the last decade and it's always good!

My favorite Chinese food place in town. Shoot, one of my favorite restaurants anywhere in fact. Been lucky enough to live nearby for most of the past years, but when I wasn't in the area, would willingly drive out of my way to get a meal here. Everything I have had here has been awesome, and I've probably hit up at least half the menu. Everything has been delicious. Great serving portions, wonderful crunchy wontons, spicy and filling soups, and perfectly done noodles. The dining area is clean, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The staff is amazing: smiling and friendly with attention to detail. They still remember me by name every time. Love Pepper. read more

When they say spicy, they mean it. Skip the egg rolls, but the pot stickers and fried rice are amazing.

Great service but way too many school kids. I will definitely order to go next time to avoid the hundred high school kids who apparently get to leave campus for lunch. All in all it wasn't bad!! read more

Every time we dine at Pepper, its amazing. The food, staff and service is always on point. Highly recommend. Our go to's are sesame chicken and basil chicken. Enjoy! read more

Their food was delicious and steaming hot when served. The service was also great and the staff friendly! I would recommend this place. (The only hard thing is parking due to construction on Colfax.) read more

Everything I've ever ordered there is just so fresh and delicious the best hot and sour soup you can get anywhere hands-down!

Heard great things about this place and the reviews were spot on. Got the happy family which was so delicious. The Vietnamese egg rolls and spring rolls were great. Love that they ask if you want the crispy wontons for soup. Will definitely try more things soon. read more

Great portions and nice staff! Nice spot for to go. Loved the fried rice. Two entries were enough for 2 with leftovers!

Slightly more upscale Asian restaurant. It was Asian fusion so had a bunch of diff Asian food like Chinese and thai. Crispy spring rolls were ok. Plate just came with two Mongolian beef extra spicy- wow this was waaaaay too spicy for me so I had one tiny piece and couldn't eat anymore. Drunken noodles. I wasn't a huge fan of this- it was too sweet for my taste Overall way too expensive for what you get read more

I love this place! I've come to the restaurant for dinner and have ordered take out. Both times the food has been great with awesome options. The service was great when we dined in and for take out our order was hot when we got home. From the times we've had it- we ordered Orange Chicken, general tso's, hot and sour soup, wanton soup, pot stickers, and chicken dumplings with spicy sauce. The spicy sauce isn't actually spicy which I love because it's so good and I don't enjoy spicy foods. As for the chicken dishes, those were delicious! I love that the orange chicken doesn't have that super artificial flavor. I love the potstickers! I hadn't had any of this style since leaving the east coast so it's nice to find a place that does different types of dumplings so well! I will definitely be back soon. It's great that it's affordable and delicious! Finally have found my go to local spot. read more

I've done takeout a million times at this central location on Colfax but today I decided to eat in person with a friend. We had an early dinner around 4:30pm and we had sesame tofu and sesame chicken. Both dishes were amazing and fresh. The customer service was also superb, all the waiters were attentive and quick. The environment was calm and inviting as well. I can confidently say that most everything on their menu is delicious. Especially the side noodles, that's always a good choice! I've always loved Pepper Asian Bistro for takeout but will prioritize eating in person just for the hot, fresh meal and wonderful service. read more

It was busy when we got here on a Friday night but was able to get into a couple seats at the bar. It took a minute for the servers to identify that we were there for dinner since it wasn't an actually full service bar ... just a couple of the servers running from the kitchen to behind the bar. They did mention they were hectic since they had a large party that not. Menu was a typical Chinese menu with all the typical Chinese options with a few Thai, Vietnamese, and other Asian choices. We ordered fresh spring rolls to start. It came with a peanut sauce that had an odd after taste - almost like fishy after taste. Was a bit disappointed since I love peanut sauce. The dishes are pretty big! And it comes with a small bowl of rice. The beef was very good. I would say the onions were a bit overkill in there but I enjoyed what I had. Good place to grab some non-fast food style Chinese. Service wasn't the best since it was busy but they were nice. read more

Pepper has become one of my favorite new places close to me. They do an insane takeout business so be prepared to wait a little bit to be seated if you are walking in. The Yushan shrimp and Happy Family are two of my favorites here. Both come in the brown sauce that I seek out and they will accommodate requests for brown rice. When I went in the summer, I enjoyed their mojitos. Freshly made with real pineapple in a pineapple mojito! Very sweet though. Unpretentious and solid every time in terms of quality and value. read more

Delicious and highly recommend to everyone we will be going back soon and with friends of course !

Fast and yummy. The chicken with eggplant was good, so were the crab/cream cheese wonton app. The egg drop soup was warm but not hot, which was disappointing. read more

I ordered from Pepper Asian Bistro once upon a time, approximately a million years ago, and then for whatever reason, regrettably never revisited that choice. So last Sunday evening, after a day of laboring I caved on ordering in dinner (quite late) and didn't have a ton of options. I decided to order from Pepper, and I was certainly glad I did. I got the Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Tofu, Pork Lo Mein, and Yushan Eggplant. I then mixed up the rice options to go with (white, brown, and fried). Everything was delicious. The Mongolian Beef was well-flavored and unbelievably tender (it stayed that way even with re-heating). The KungPao tofu packed a nice punch and was balanced with vegetables. The Yushan Eggplant though was the star of the show...Wow. It was silky, garlicky, and everything you could want from eggplant. I was even eating it cold out of the container later, it was that crazy delicious. The Lo Mein while it had a nice stretchy chew to it, was perhaps a little uneventful in terms of seasoning/veg. Pepper allows you to upgrade a side item to plain lo mein, and I think next time that might be the perfect compromise for me. Finally, I will note that the fried rice side was pretty heavy on the white pepper, so in the off chance that's not your thing, (like me), be aware. Pepper does their own delivery too, which was honestly just what I needed to not feel bad about the order (read: no Grubhub fees). The portions were enormous (each entree could probably serve two people), and affordable. I was pretty enthusiastic with the vegetable focused options too, which is always a plus. Give them a shot! read more

We stumbled upon this place on our way back home from cherry creek. Honestly did not know what to expect in terms of food when we entered. Glad that this turned out to be a great find! Got the Thai hot and sour soup, basil chicken, chicken fried rice and tofu basil rice - everything was tasty! We asked for the tofu rice to be spicy and it was spicy - just how I like it! The chicken dumplings in chilli oil were a pleasant surprise - so tasty! Service was quick and server was pleasant! Will recommend and visit again! read more

Ordered some take out for me and my partner and the food was marvelous! Great quality fried rice and meat/ chicken selections. Lots to choose from and whatever you order it won't disappoint you. We ordered the Mongolian beef and General Tso's Chicken both with fried rice. Also, a side of Cheese wontons. Very good food on the go, this location right now only offers take out or delivery but their other location is open for dining for whoever is interested. read more

this is the highest-rated Asian delivery around me so I gave it a shot. The menu is really broad-reaching from Chinese to Thai, to Japanese. I think that broad appeal is why it gets such high ratings, you can get pretty much anything you'd want from them. Food-wise my delivery was fine, pot-stickers were the highlight. Value for money with portions was very good I got a lot of for what I paid. Quality was 3-stars. I would order from here especially if we had a large group that wanted a lot of things. If I wanted: Thai, or Chinese, or what have you I'd order from a specialist. read more

Great food for a reasonable price! We ordered the Pad See Lew and General Tao's chicken and we were very satisfied with both! This is definitely one of the better Chinese/Thai food restaurants in the City park area! read more

Pepper Asian Bistro - Pad See Lew - Asian Fusion Near Me - Denver, Colorado

There are lots of Chinese/pan-Asian restaurants in Denver. In my area a stand-out is Pepper Asian Bistro. Food is always fresh and tasty. I mostly order delivery but when I have gone in to dine or called, staff had been very friendly - great service. We have ordered many things from the menu, both Chinese and Thai - never disappointed. One note - if you are sensitive to spicy food, order mild. Their moderate spice level still has considerable heat (which I like). read more

Pepper Asian Bistro is a decent Chinese food restaurant located conveniently off of Colfax. It's not terribly authentic, but who doesn't enjoy a tasty plate or sesame chicken? This place isn't usually packed but expect some wait because their take out game is off the charts. The staff is friendly and helpful. I recommend the garlic chicken with egg plant, sesame chicken, and the satay chicken. The dishes are cheaper during lunch, but the dinner menu is also very reasonably priced. Don't be discouraged if you don't find street parking; the neighborhood usually has lots of spots. Check them out if you're in the area! read more

Love the Look I love the look here. It feels so warm and cozy. The ambiance is not all that's great about Pepper Asian Bistro. The food is wonderful, too!! I especially love the Fresh Spring Rolls. The peanut sauce has an interesting kick to it. It's wonderful! Enjoy!! read more

The food is amazing. Haven't come across GOOD Asian food in 25 years. The potstickers/dumplings were packed with meat. I had their Beef with Broccoli. Oh dear. It was out of this UNIVERSE, not World. Going in there made me wish I could eat more. I had to get most of my Beef and Broccoli to go. It can be a bit expensive, but it is worth every dime. The servers are attentive, but not invasive . Great place, great food. THE ONLY DRAW BACK: IT IS REALLY TOUGH TO FIND A PARKING SPOT. But, being in Denver, we're all accustomed to that, right? At least order Carry-out. This place is too good to miss!! read more

I love both Pepper Asian Bistro locations. The Colfax location can be a little tricky to find parking but it is worth the search. One of my favorite dishes is the green curry with tofu. It is so perfectly seasoned and the serving is enough that I got three meals out of my last order. The lunch veggie egg rolls are small but delicious and I always enjoy that as a little treat. Customer service is fantastic at both locations too and I always recommend this as a go to restaurant. read more

This is the best Chinese food in denver, at a great price. Kung Pao, Mongolian are amazing. The beef Thai chili is super spicy and delicious. This is the only Chinese restaurant I have been to that will make super spicy food. read more

The food is amazing and the service is great. Really enjoy peppers. I would recommend having the Pad Thai or Penang curry. So good!

Saturday, we'd not planned our dinner, so we decided to get some delivery from Pepper Asian Bistro. My wife said she wasn't that hungry, so I prepared my order and then handed my phone to her, and she ordered some things. That's how it goes sometimes right? Anyway, I ordered the Mongolian Eggplant and 6 Chicken Dumplings in Hot Sauce, both of them Thai Hot. Which I'll get to in a minute. My wife got Hunan Chicken and Miso Soup. The enjoyed her Hunan Chicken and miso soup. I thought the hunan chicken was pretty decent. She then stole a chicken dumpling while I was video conferencing with a friend. I warned her that it was going to be spicy. If you order anything from Pepper Asian Bistro, and get it Thai Hot, you may want to order another face as well because it will burn your current one completely off. I was able to eat one dumpling and about a half cup of my Mongolian Eggplant before mine melted off my chin. My wife told me never to order devil's dumplings again. It did have a lot of flavor though. The jalapenos seemed even hotter than normal, but the eggplant was just what I wanted. I did manage to finish my meal later on. I'm not sure if time made it less spicy or I manned up and my tolerance for spicy foods got kicked up a notch. Would definitely order from here again and will probably get Thai Hot dishes again, but not tell my wife.... read more

My wife and I routinely visit this location. It really is consistent with its quality, and spice levels. Street parking can be difficult sometimes, but it's well worth the effort compared to its other location. We love bringing friends here, and everyone is always impressed. read more
