Hong Kong Barbecue

If ur looking for some down to earth chinese food, no not ses ck! Then this is the place. Does the place looks nice, no but who cares as long as the food is great and the service is actually good for a place lile this. Their shrimp wontons, bbq pork, and duck noodle is awesome! If ur looking for stuff to eat with rice, then try some seafood clay pot and water spinach with garlic are just the right combo. Their crab maw soup is really good as well. Oh btw, theres always extras for lunch tomo!

Very disappointed with this restaurant. I cannot understand how this place is highly reviewed.
Their specialty is HK BBQ and it was the worst plate of BBQ I have ever eaten. We asked for their trio of Duck, Roast Pork and BBQ. Everything was cold. There was no ‘roast’ flavor at all. Just soggy and greasy meat… ugh
The second dish is their Yushan Eggplant. This was also highly reviewed and recommended. But a total disappointment to me. It also came out lukewarm,. What is the kitchen doing?
The only dish that was acceptable was their fried rice.

Coming from California, we came to pick up a duck for dinner. Right as we went in we received very poor service. The greeter/​daughter (I assume) at the counter was not doing anything and her mother was talking on the phone with gloves on. My Aunt waited awhile and asked if she can get serviced yet. The daughter at the counter totally flipped out on us and called us «stupid» and «assholes» multiple times «go somewhere else if you can’t wait»… seriously, what kind of family restaurant disrespects their paying customers? She tossed the sauces into the bag and slapped the change onto the counter. The other lady that was on the phone earlier already started chopping the duck (with the same gloves used while on the phone). We’re just lucky that the restaurant has glass windows so they didn’t do anything to the food. The restaurant was not even busy with one table occupied. There was also dirty dishes out in the open by the front. Highly do not recommend this restaurant.

Since moving here from California, it’s been hard finding delicious Chinese bbq. This place is definately our go-​to spot now for some 3 item bbq plate and for $ 8.50 is awesome! I really like getting the 3 bbq item over noodle soup, it was tasty and delicious with plentiful amount of meat. My boyfriend and I were able to share one bowl between us and be decently full. We will definately be coming back!

This is the place I always go when I miss authentic Chinese food. The price is cheaper than other big Chinese restaurants such as the Star Kitchen. The Owner is nice. I really like the roast duck and pork. Whenever I become lazy not wanting to cook I just stop by to get a roast duck and my whole family loves it! I think their roast duck is the best in Denver area.
The two points off though, are from their restrooms and nasty plates and spoons from time to time. That’s why I would rather have the food to go most of the time.

After reading the review, we decided to give this place a try. After we sat down and ordered hot tea, we found that the tea cup was nasty. It was dirty and had sticky stuff on it. And when we asked for a new tea cup, the server just threw it on the table. Literally. Then It took forever for the food to come out. Once they were out, they were just bland. No taste at all. In the middle of finishing up our meal, several of their employees came out of the kitchen and ate next to us. It was so uncomfortable. At last, nobody refilled our drinks. Definitely wont come back.

Had been on the road for 10 days and had a serious craving for Chinese food ordering congee, wonton soup, chow mein and bbq duck.
Did not like how the ¼ order of duck didn’t include a leg. But it tasted pretty meaty.
The above food order was huge!!! Enough for dinner and lunch the next as leftovers. The Juk was pretty good and the wontons did the job as did the chow mein. Seemed like there might have been msg in the food but that’s probably from fish sauce which I use on my food anyway. Although this part of Denver’s a bit run down, it has a parking lot.
Service was slow for chinese, but the quality and portions were worth the wait. Would come here again.

I just recently moved to Denver from Houston, TX. Houston has the most vigorous asian community and I am ½ chinese myself so I know how traditional chinese food should taste. This is definitely the place for that! I frequent this place at least two to four times a month.
You can never escape what foods you grew up with and this place feels like home for sure. It is definitely a «traditional» chinese restaurant and most of its customers are asian, so you know it has to be good.

Great hole-​in-​the-​wall place with yummy food. The ladies working were super friendly. I ordered a seafood/​tofu/​veggie clay pot and it was very tasty. Portions were big… a lot of food for 9 bucks. Will definitely be back! (Star Kitchen next door is slightly better… but both places are good)

First time eating here and the food was great. Getting the food to our table could’ve been better. Considering there wasn’t that much people in the restaurant. Putting that aside, the experience was great and definitely coming back here for more of the roasted duck!

Here I am, procrastinating on a review I should have done months ago!!!
This is my go to traditional Chinese place conveniently located not too far from where I live. I visit this place almost two to four times a month with my boyfriend. We get these crazy Chinese food cravings for duck and wonton noodle soup and let me tell ya, this place freaking hits the spot for those on top of the many discoveries I have come upon. I
I was raised around this block growing up and I’m pretty sure I’ve met the owner (owner’s wife) who is always there chopping away at the duck. I’m older now so no one in the Chinese community recognizes me much buttttt it’s better that way, because when my Cantonese is barely understandable some days, I can just revert to English and pretend I’m Korean. ;) Haha except they are starting to recognize me from how often I go!
Some days they start you off with some Daikon, Carrot, and Pork soup that makes me want to cry when I drink it because it tastes like my grandmas.
I tried some new stuff with my friend on the last visit for her bday. She was looking for some good Hainanese Chicken in Colorado and I had told her this is the place! After the disappointment at Jaya, I was lucky enough to see it on the menu here, give it a try and find my new place for Hainanese Chicekn Rice cravings! The Yushan Eggplant is cooked to perfection and perfect with rice. The Walnut shrimp was fantastic. I was hoping for a huge dish but that’s just the fat kid in me talking. The Beef Chow Fun was great but that’s pretty hard to mess up at a traditional Chinese place since it’s such a standard dish.
Other things I’ve tried, the Curry Fishballs. This was the only really mediocre dish I’ve had there. Different kinds of stir fried greens with garlic. I could eat veggies fried with garlic and rice for dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyysssssssss. Can’t escape what you grew up with and this place feels like home most days. They also have a hard to find dish here in colorado and it’s the clay pot rice pots! Takes about 45 minutes to prepare so if you are itching to try it, call ahead and let them know but man it’s delicious. The rice burns a little at the bottom and gets crispy if you let it and that’s the best part! I want to try all of the clay pot rice dishes!
Service…well it’s a Chinese place. I say it’s pretty decent for a Chinese place and the server recognizes you if you frequent often. It’s small so you get your food quickly most of the time. You just never know with service at a Chinese place… haha. She only messed up my order once and said I didn’t order it, which I’ve heard her say to other tables before so I’d be careful on that but other than that it’s fantastic!

Arrived here on a Saturday night (7pm), it was pretty busy, we waited our turn to be seated. I liked the Hong Kong restaurant feel to it, made me appreciate the authenticity. Our party of four was seated.
My dad opted for a side of roast duck, an order of pan-​fried noodles, and the popular 3 for $ 23.95 dish that comes with soup.
The soup that was given to us is a traditional Hong Kong thing, it’s not supposed to be a flavorful soup like an your American Egg Drop soup. It’s a cooling cleanser, that is eaten concurrently with your meal. Don’t expect a high level of sodium or MSG, this is a natural broth.
The portions are very generous, it beats my predecessor Heaven Dragon. The dishes do not require me to accompany each bite with a gulp of water. Many Westerners will probably opt with the addition of soy sauce that sits as the Asian condiment.
I am proud of this family-​owned mom and pop shop, it shows their tenacity. My Chinese parents live that it’s not spiked in sodium and MSG, but it also has a variety to choose from. Lastly, did I mention the prices are reasonable???

After listening to me bemoan the lack of quality Chinese restaurants in the Boulder/​Denver area, my friend promised me this place would satiate my cravings.
Tucked away in a decrepit shopping plaza, bars on the windows, I was definitely hesitant. Seated and proceeded to go buck at this place. Roast duck, Hainan chicken and rice, eggplant, Chinese broccoli, walnut shrimp, you’re not doing Chinese food dining right if you don’t have an overwhelming amount of leftovers at the end. All were incredibly tasty, my favorites were the walnut shrimp and Hainan chicken. I’m biased towards Hainan chicken and rice, similar to pizza, even the shitty versions are tasty. This was an exceptional version, expertly butchered, room temperature, resting on a bed of bokchoy. No rice for me but the reactions from my friends were telling and encouraging. I could’ve easily put away a plate of walnut shrimp myself, generous handfuls of candied walnuts tossed in, crispy shrimp smothered in a sweet mayo (I swear it works), it’s impossible to restrict yourself to just one bite.
This place nourishes my soul with its expansive and authentic menu. Highly recommended!

Once again, Unilocal did not disappoint here. I have not had Chinese food this outstanding in a very long time. My only regret is that i could not try everything on their four page menu… all the food being brought to other tables looked absolutely amazing. As others have said here, the peking duck was great… and cheap! I will never bother making it myself again. no more trying to stand a duck up in the fridge to dry, I’ll head here instead! We also had the barbecue pork fried rice and the shrimp dumpling soup, both great! Now that i know this place exists i won’t bother with the typical takeaway places ever again.

Fantastic option for Cantonese BBQ in Denver.
The roast duck was okay, but the cha siu was really good. Prices are pretty reasonable.

My go-​to authentic Chinese restaurant in Denver, hands-​down. It’s slim pickings in Denver, but thank goodness Hong Kong BBQ exists. Expect the typical but well-​done cantonese menu, a non-​existent décor, and very reasonable prices for good sized portions. While nothing compared to some of the places in the SF Bay Area and Houston, HK BBQ delivers every time I go (and I go often).
Food/​Beverages: They have menus appropriate for authentic and non-​authentic interests. There is a good variety of foods, although I wish they had more congee options. Portions sizes are excellent and the taste is always delicious. Items I especially like are the salty fish and chicken fried rice and any of the congees. I think China Jade does a better job with snow pea leaves, but any of their leafy vegetables with garlic tastes of home. Also, can never go wrong with the duck.
Ambiance: If you’re expecting fancy décor, don’t come here. It’s bare bones and the focus is on the food (which is fine by me).
Service: Can be slow, but well worth the wait.
Pricing: All plates are decently priced, but if you want the most bang for your buck, go for the Dine-​In evening special with three dishes only for $ 23.95.
Hours: Open late on same days, which is great.
Tip: If you can read Chinese, order off the menu on the wall. Or, if you’re illiterate like me, you can ask someone to read it to you (yes, they were nice enough to do that for me).

Very solid Chinese bbq. I’ve lived in SoCal and eaten at eaten in the best Chinese restaurants in Chicago. This place, while I’ve had a few better, totally holds its own. The roast duck is great as is the Chinese broccoli, they don’t over cook it so it still has that fresh snap. If you’re a duck lover like me then this place is a must.

This is a solid place.
As others have described, don’t expect fancy décor… or any décor, for that matter. These guys are only concerned with food.
With that in mind, our typical go-to’s are: Chicken in black bean sauce, string beans, siu jee (crispy roast pork), char siu (barbeque pork) and duck.
The service is on the slow side but I’ve noticed the legit Chinese restaurants are just that way.

This place is the real deal!
We ordered the wonton soup really really good only thing that made us a little square mesh was the pork intestines in there
We’ve been ordered the combination duck and barbecued pork both were tasty but very fatty and greasy but again tasty.
The staff was very nice and attentive.
I would suggest this place to anyone in real authentic Chinese food.
The reason I did not give this five stars was because it was just a little too authentic for me and the person I was with. Also because after we ordered they moved us to another table right up against the carts of all the dirty dishes because a bigger party came in and the only way they can arrange to see them was the move us rather than move tables across the restaurant

If you’re looking for ambience, don’t come here. If you’re just looking for some authentic eats, then this spot will be your jam.
When I walked in, I was transported to the holes-​in-​the-​wall that you find everywhere in Taipei, Taiwan. Walk up to the counter to order. If you don’t speak or read Chinese/​Vietnamese, you might get a little lost, but there IS English on the menu. I came here because I was feeling under the weather and wanted some chicken congee. I ordered my congee, a fried dough stick (you tiao) and a hot plate dish for later (braised beef and eggplant).
As I sat and waited, two ladies from the back wheeled out a whole roasted pig. When I say WHOLE, I mean head to tail. They were wrapping it up in aluminum foil for transportation, though I’m not really sure how that ended up because I had to get up to pay for my order. What I do know is that roasted pig skin looked super crisp. SUPER CRISP. I saw other people ordering roast pig by the pound, too…
Anyway. $ 17. For four meals’ worth of food (I had the congee for two meals, and the eggplant and beef dish for two meals). DELICIOUS. I will be back. Soon.
