Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend with Korean roots. So my wife and I took our 81 year old Korean friend there for dinner. He had the noodles with black bean sauce. He said it was the best version of this dish he's had in the US in 47 years. I had my favorite Korean dish, which is jambong and it was also very good. My wife ordered a vegetable dish with seafood and rice and she was also satisfied. There were two waitresses. The one we had was charismatic, funny, and friendly. We liked her a lot. The other waitress who didn't serve us seemed more serious. The restaurant was clean, as was its bathroom. We had a good experience and will return for sure to try all their dishes.

So, this place doesn't smell very good when you initially walk in, but you get used to it. The service is okay most of the time, but the food is almost always on par. The food usually comes out pretty quickly, too! Most of the noodle dishes here are good because they pull the noodles in house, so they're going to be a lot more fresh than other places. If you're new to Korean/Chinese cuisine and you are a Vegetarian, you can opt to get the Gan Jja Jang with no meat. Most of the other noodles dishes are prepared with beef/chicken broth. I usually get the Vegetable Gan Jja Jang or Vegetable Fried Rice. The fried rice is on the oily side (and sometimes salty side), but it really depends on the day... If you're going to get fried rice, I would highly suggest asking for Jja Jang (black bean) sauce on the side and eating it together! Trust me, you won't regret it.

We ordered pahl-bo-chae and kung pao shrimp for take out, totaling over $40. First, with the pahl be chae, there was hardly any seafood, the mussels were tiny cheap ones, but although with cheap ingredients like veggies and squid, i will give them the fact that portion size was good.m as for the kung pao shrimp, wow, portion was smaaaaaalll! Especially for the price. Additionly.... They did not even give us any rice! We called to let them know that we did not get any rice.... Theyre response was "we do not serve rice with main dishes" WHAAAAAAT?!!?!??!?! Then she continues to say, "but if you asked we wouldve gave you some". Again..... WHAAAAAAAT?!?!!?!?!?! I do not know of any chinese or even asian restaurants that do not give rice with every meal. I will give them 2stars because taste-wise, their food was good. So remember... If you order main dishes, no rice, or bring your own rice!

The food is decent but the service SUCKS!!! The old waitress with the glasses on has been working here for a while but does not know how to serve. One of the worst server I've ever had. She eats with her friends when it's busy with customers. No water refills nor asking if we need anything else. Just comes once to take order and once more to take your money. I only came back coz I thought she no longer worked here but I will come back no more now.

Went here on a whim after getting a hankering for a good noodle soup bowl and I've found nirvana. My son and I ordered the fried dumplings and we both had their Champong (seafood soup). I've been on a quest throughout Denver to find a place that served the best champong after my last favorite place closed down. So far this place is it. You get 3 shrimps, 3 mussels and a skimpy bit of squid and pork for about $9. That's not a bad price. What makes this so good is the flavors in the broth. Many of the other Denver places I tried (see some of my other postings for the detail) either had the wrong noodles or lacked the deep flavors in the broth, but Yong Gung seems to get this right. Someday I'll probably venture out and try something different from their menu but for now I'm just happy I've found my soup again.

If you are non-korean, here are few tips on how to deal with Korean restaurants 1: dont feel left out. You are welcomed as much as any other paying customers. They might prefer you since you wouldn't be demanding. 2: This particular restaurant is seat yourself. 3: if they dont see you after few minutes, flag them down. You don't need special words. 4: if you are not sure, ask the sever. Flag them down! Treat it kinda like pho restaurants. Most pho restaurants will never bring you the bill unless you ask for it. All else fails, walk up to the cashier. 5. These types of restaurants (noodle house catering to Koreans) usually serves condiments consisting of kimchee, pickled yellow diakon, sliced onions and jajang sauce base. If you want to look like local, put some vinegar all over the diakon and onions. If you need more, just ask. Flag them down! * lastly, dont be shy and ask. I did!

Covers all the bases of a Korean Chinese restaurant: Huge portions Efficient service Vast menu The chick neng myun (cold noodles) here was really good. The size of the bowl was extremely big (same size as the largest mixing bowl I own) but I was able to eat about 75% of the noodles and 30% of the broth. A weird ingredient in the neng myun was the shredded chicken pieces. The chicken tasted fine, but I have never seen chicken in any of the hundreds of bowls of neng myun I have eaten. The only thing that this neng myun lacked was Asian Pears. There was only one thin slice of pear in my 3 gallon bowl of neng myun. The "tang su yuk" sweet and sour pork came on enormous platter. It was huge that we weren't able to finish it and there were 7 of us at the table! I am not a huge fan of this dish to begin with (and I rarely eat it) so I don't know really how it compares to tang su yuk. However the sweet pineapple pieces came in handy because my mouth was on fire after having two bites of my cousins jjamp bbong (Spicy seafood noodles). Service was super friendly, our server was attentive and water was refilled constantly. These things rarely happen at the Korean restaurants I frequent.....

I've discussed this before but I feel like I need to revisit the concept of a Korean-Chinese restaurant because I think it is a unusual concept. You know, really I don't know what a Korean-Chinese restaurant is or why they call it that, I just know that if I have a craving for jajang-meyong or any other popular noodle dish from my heritage, I go to a Korean-Chinese restaurant. I had some jajang-meyong and it was pretty good. Basically some noodles with a black bean sauce, much like a bolognese except a black bean flavor instead of tomato. In addition to jajang-meyong (its a pain typing that word out) they also have chap chae which is a clear vermicelli noodle flavored with sesame oil and soy sauce and with a vegetable medley. So if your in A town in the Korean strip of Havana, give some exotic noodles a try.

The food was good, but what made me give good full 5 stars was the service! The service was amazing!!! My food came in about 5 mins!! 5 Mins!!! I was surprised how fast it was.. Then the lady that works there was super friendly and hilarious!! She made sure that everything was okay and even joked about the little things with me and my mom.. It was great!! That ahjumonni needs to get a prize for Best Service :D

This place is the Bomb! I had one of the best orange chicken dishes here. Food is terrific and so is the service. Great I will be back.

After running some errands in this part of Town, in which like 2 other establishment was CLOSED on Sunday, I decide to bring Hubs here for Dinner. The parking outside can be a little of a nightmare, especially when a few doors down... this establishment shared to that FAMOUS Korean BBQ. This recent visit was on SUNDAY May 19th 2013. Time was about 18:40hrs ish. Well, thankfully when we arrived at this establishment, we were seated promptly. I knew by instant, that it was like that OLD Korean restaurant which I have reviewed many moons ago, and it which that "KFC" aka "SPICY" Korean Fried Chicken ran away with it... This establishment is owned by a Korean but they also offer Korean and Chinese Dishes... From the Server recommendations, he said, this establishment is known for their Black Bean and Spicy Soup and also the Fried Rice. Well in general a lot of Koreans who go to this establishment would order those items... From the simple menu that they offer, here were the items we ordered that evening : * Vegetable Egg Roll *A1 ($6.95) * Fried Rice With Crab Meat - Arros Frit-Crab *R1 ($8.95) * Deep Fried Chicken In Hot Pepper Sauce - Canpungkee-Pollo *P4 ($14.95) - Hubs Order Hubs opt for Coke Cola ($1.50) for his beverages while I just opt for water. While we were waiting for our order to be ready, our server provide us several Banchan something like Raw White Onions, Kimchi, Black Sauce and Pickled Radish. When our order arrived at our table, all came out piping HOT, meaning out from the Fryer, I like. The service was friendly, efficient and fast. When my order of Fried Rice came, it smelled good, but where is the CRAB?? I asked in my heart. But with the smell of HOT Fried Rice, smell slightly "CRABY" aka "Fishy" in slightly a good way, I guess. My Fried Rice comes with the Black Soybean Sauce and the Spicy Soup. I like the Spicy Soup that comes with the Fried Rice. With that Spicy Soup alone, I am NOW Intrigued by that Spicy Soup... coz our server recommends it. I am so awed when Hubs rate this establishment as 4 stars at best, and one of the Best Egg Roll he ever had. To me it was just FRIED SPRING ROLL filled with Julienned Carrots and Cabbage, if I could recall correctly. Hubs also like his order of Deep Fried Chicken in Hot Pepper Sauce, though he wish the dish could MORE SPICY. Our server offer us several spicy sauce from the Kitchen, but still it wasn't spicy enough for our taste bud. Well all in all, I rate this establishment 3.5 stars and definitely want to return when needed. The cost of our Dinner was $34.97 with tax. Left the establishment at 19:35hrs.

Great service. Friendly staff and manager. Best spicy Korean noodle jambong I've had. Great fried pork cutlet as well. Generous portions for low price. I don't mind driving half an hour, and I hate driving.

There are many many Korean restaurants in the area... but very few Chinese/Korean! ;) Even fewer GOOD Chinese/Korean. This is a very welcome addition to the area! We often come here for their plethora of fried rice with your choice of protein. Each plate is big enough to feed 2 people and as customary in many Korean restaurants come out with some pickled appetizers and kimchi. You're also often served a bowl of hot broth (if you choose to make it into fried rice soup... double yumm!) and an amazing black bean sauce (just WOW). This is our top choice for Chinese at the moment!
(5)Yuko C.
A very special place. Hand made fresh noodles, not dried. The black bean sauce is also fresh and very tasty with each bite of onion and kimchi. Should be a staple in any household. Making pastry dough is not hard, most restaurants do not do it, this place does it!........ order the hand made Crab Rangoon, eat it with the kimchee....trust me a match made in heaven... Kimchi is also made in house. Some of the best anywhere...yes, truly. Some american guy was going on and on about how "awesome" the kimchi was at the table next to me. He had a few girlfriends, Chinese or Korean with him, I think they were embarrassed, but this dude loved their kimchi! I have tried almost all of the soup dishes....amazing and all very different. They also have a fried pork dish with a sweet and sour sauce, very tasty. Great servers, attentive, cute and one of the most beautifully designed noodle shops in the world, a very special place. Treat them well. A special shop and we want them here for years to come!
(5)Phoebe C.
My boyfriend has been craving for jajang myan for a long time so we came here. The combo special turned out to be great! There was a lot of noodles. The jajang myoan can be more salty and the spicy seafood noodle soup was pretty spicy but tasty. Very good value for money. And the place is clean and not very noisy which is great
(4)Maian T.
They have chik naeng myun on the summer menu! Exactly what I wanted for this hot summer day. Chik naeng myun is black arrowroot noodles (thin, chewy) served in an ice cold, savory, vinegary broth, topped with sliced cucumber, pickled daikon, hard boiled egg, some chili paste, and sesame seeds. Usually has cold sliced brisket in it too but this version is chicken. It's a love it or hate it dish because cold noodles are weird and the texture of the noodle is weird for newbies to this dish. But I'm so happy I've found it here! The fried dumplings are also very good.
(5)Hanna O.
The staff here are nice and friendly. A+ Food is served fast and hot. A+ The jajang-meyong is pretty good here. A BUT the Canpungkee is NOT good. Do not order get something else. Its just spicy and does not have good flavor or even texture. Never getting that again. This place gives off a bunsik feel. I would come back and try it again.
(4)Sung H.
I been going here for awhile. The food is pretty good. I don't like the services. We get a small pot of tea. I asked to replace it with hot tea. The server says it is hot and I said no it is not replace it. She takes it returnes back later with the same cold small pot of tea. Most day the serivces here is poor.
(2)Elle K.
4 STARS for their jambong (spicy seafood noodle soup) alone. It's the only thing I"ve had here and I just can't tear myself away from it to try anything else. It's hearty, flavorful, and huge. Great bang for your buck. Packs serious spicyness (the kind where if you inhale wrong, your eyes water and your chest feels like it's on fire), but also amazing flavor at the same time. Noodles are nice and chewy (and soften up a little as they sit in the soup). Contains shrimp, mussels, squid, pork. I never finish the soup in noodle soup dishes when I eat out, but this one - THIS ONE - I will. In fact, I always pack it up to take home and finish. SO GOOD.
(4)Lois B.
My sister planned on taking me elsewhere for Korean style Chinese food, but it was closed so we came to this place. The decor was clean and we were greeted by the friendly staff. We arrived during lunch time so it was pretty full, but we didn't have to wait to be seated. The menu wasn't too big and I actually liked the simplicity of it. We ordered the typical Korean style Chinese food: jjajang myeon(black bean noodles), tang su yook(sweet and sour pork), and tonkatsu(Japanese cuisine). The noodles were delicious, but we found hair in it. When we told our server, she apologized and let us know they'd prepare another one. Tang su yook was crispy and good too. Tonkatsu was good and the pork was very tender. However, they had their own sauce which has curry in it. I thought it was really good, but I'd you like the traditional sauce, you may not like it. I'd definitely come back to eat here again!
(4)Henry K.
New management, new cooks, new recipes, new servers, complete and utter failure. This restaurant was my favorite in Colorado when it came to eating jjajangmyun (black bean noodles), jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and tangsooyook (sweet and sour fried beef or pork). The food was delicious, the servers were polite and friendly and they couldn't wait to help you with your next request. Now? The new cooks have no idea what they are doing, the servers disappear after they give you your initial order, and the place has become run down and dirty. Spend your lunch and dinner else where folks.
(2)Ho S.
New management, and they took it above and beyond. The donkatsu is amazing, and the size of my face. My face is huge, and it's not gonna get smaller eating here all the time. My new favorite Chinese/korean restaurant.
(5)Melissa A.
Great food and great service. Will definitely be back.
(4)Safford B.
This has become our preferred Korean-Chinese spot in the Denver area. Our two top dishes for any place in this category are jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) and pork tangsuyuk, which is a crispy, sweet and sour pork with stir-fried vegetables. Dragon Palace does both of these very well. We also like the clean, modern atmosphere. If you're in the mood to try the Korean take on Chinese food, this is a good place to visit.

Stopped by for lunch under the new owners. We waited for 10 or 15 minutes and nobody came to welcome us, even after walking halfway into the dining area. Koreans were getting seated. Finally I flagged down a waitress and asked if we could eat there and she looked confused and said yeah but it'll be 30 minutes, even though there was a table and no one waiting. Just terrible. Walked next door to another restaurant and was reminded that there are businesses that care about their customers.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend with Korean roots. So my wife and I took our 81 year old Korean friend there for dinner. He had the noodles with black bean sauce. He said it was the best version of this dish he's had in the US in 47 years. I had my favorite Korean dish, which is jambong and it was also very good. My wife ordered a vegetable dish with seafood and rice and she was also satisfied. There were two waitresses. The one we had was charismatic, funny, and friendly. We liked her a lot. The other waitress who didn't serve us seemed more serious. The restaurant was clean, as was its bathroom. We had a good experience and will return for sure to try all their dishes.

So, this place doesn't smell very good when you initially walk in, but you get used to it. The service is okay most of the time, but the food is almost always on par. The food usually comes out pretty quickly, too! Most of the noodle dishes here are good because they pull the noodles in house, so they're going to be a lot more fresh than other places. If you're new to Korean/Chinese cuisine and you are a Vegetarian, you can opt to get the Gan Jja Jang with no meat. Most of the other noodles dishes are prepared with beef/chicken broth. I usually get the Vegetable Gan Jja Jang or Vegetable Fried Rice. The fried rice is on the oily side (and sometimes salty side), but it really depends on the day... If you're going to get fried rice, I would highly suggest asking for Jja Jang (black bean) sauce on the side and eating it together! Trust me, you won't regret it.

There are many many Korean restaurants in the area... but very few Chinese/Korean! ;) Even fewer GOOD Chinese/Korean. This is a very welcome addition to the area! We often come here for their plethora of fried rice with your choice of protein. Each plate is big enough to feed 2 people and as customary in many Korean restaurants come out with some pickled appetizers and kimchi. You're also often served a bowl of hot broth (if you choose to make it into fried rice soup... double yumm!) and an amazing black bean sauce (just WOW). This is our top choice for Chinese at the moment!

My sister planned on taking me elsewhere for Korean style Chinese food, but it was closed so we came to this place. The decor was clean and we were greeted by the friendly staff. We arrived during lunch time so it was pretty full, but we didn't have to wait to be seated. The menu wasn't too big and I actually liked the simplicity of it. We ordered the typical Korean style Chinese food: jjajang myeon(black bean noodles), tang su yook(sweet and sour pork), and tonkatsu(Japanese cuisine). The noodles were delicious, but we found hair in it. When we told our server, she apologized and let us know they'd prepare another one. Tang su yook was crispy and good too. Tonkatsu was good and the pork was very tender. However, they had their own sauce which has curry in it. I thought it was really good, but I'd you like the traditional sauce, you may not like it. I'd definitely come back to eat here again!

New management, new cooks, new recipes, new servers, complete and utter failure. This restaurant was my favorite in Colorado when it came to eating jjajangmyun (black bean noodles), jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and tangsooyook (sweet and sour fried beef or pork). The food was delicious, the servers were polite and friendly and they couldn't wait to help you with your next request. Now? The new cooks have no idea what they are doing, the servers disappear after they give you your initial order, and the place has become run down and dirty. Spend your lunch and dinner else where folks.

New management, and they took it above and beyond. The donkatsu is amazing, and the size of my face. My face is huge, and it's not gonna get smaller eating here all the time. My new favorite Chinese/korean restaurant.

This has become our preferred Korean-Chinese spot in the Denver area. Our two top dishes for any place in this category are jjajangmyun (black bean noodles) and pork tangsuyuk, which is a crispy, sweet and sour pork with stir-fried vegetables. Dragon Palace does both of these very well. We also like the clean, modern atmosphere. If you're in the mood to try the Korean take on Chinese food, this is a good place to visit.

The food is decent but the service SUCKS!!! The old waitress with the glasses on has been working here for a while but does not know how to serve. One of the worst server I've ever had. She eats with her friends when it's busy with customers. No water refills nor asking if we need anything else. Just comes once to take order and once more to take your money. I only came back coz I thought she no longer worked here but I will come back no more now.

Went here on a whim after getting a hankering for a good noodle soup bowl and I've found nirvana. My son and I ordered the fried dumplings and we both had their Champong (seafood soup). I've been on a quest throughout Denver to find a place that served the best champong after my last favorite place closed down. So far this place is it. You get 3 shrimps, 3 mussels and a skimpy bit of squid and pork for about $9. That's not a bad price. What makes this so good is the flavors in the broth. Many of the other Denver places I tried (see some of my other postings for the detail) either had the wrong noodles or lacked the deep flavors in the broth, but Yong Gung seems to get this right. Someday I'll probably venture out and try something different from their menu but for now I'm just happy I've found my soup again.

If you are non-korean, here are few tips on how to deal with Korean restaurants 1: dont feel left out. You are welcomed as much as any other paying customers. They might prefer you since you wouldn't be demanding. 2: This particular restaurant is seat yourself. 3: if they dont see you after few minutes, flag them down. You don't need special words. 4: if you are not sure, ask the sever. Flag them down! Treat it kinda like pho restaurants. Most pho restaurants will never bring you the bill unless you ask for it. All else fails, walk up to the cashier. 5. These types of restaurants (noodle house catering to Koreans) usually serves condiments consisting of kimchee, pickled yellow diakon, sliced onions and jajang sauce base. If you want to look like local, put some vinegar all over the diakon and onions. If you need more, just ask. Flag them down! * lastly, dont be shy and ask. I did!
