Best Chinese Food in Aspen: Little Ollie’s 🥢🌶️

Who knew you could find authentic Sichuan food right in the heart of Aspen? After a day on the slopes, this is a game-changer compared to typical ski resort burgers 🍔➡️🥢! 📌 Little Ollie’s Aspen 308 S Hunter St, Aspen, CO 81611 Their wok-fired dishes are incredibly fragrant and full of flavor — no disappointments here! The chef is from Chengdu 🧑‍🍳👌. Pro tip: Ask the friendly front staff for the secret menu or chat with the chef for daily off-menu specials! We ate here two days in a row — standout dishes include: Mapo Tofu (spicy & numbing!) Cumin Lamb 🐑✨ Chongqing Spicy Chicken 🌶️🍗 Sichuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens 🐟 Stir-fried Pork with Ya Cai (preserved veg) Classic Stir-fried Pork 🥩 💰 Around $50 per person — not cheap, but reasonable for Aspen’s luxurious vibe 💸. Plus, it beats driving an hour to Glenwood Springs for less-authentic options! Portions are on the smaller side, but each dish comes with steamed rice 🍚 — one dish per person is enough for a solid 80% full. Perfect for warming up after skiing 🎿❄️🧣. Highly recommend if you’re missing bold, spicy, real Chinese flavors! #SkiFood #AspenEats #ChineseFood #SichuanCuisine #LittleOllies #ColoradoSkiing #FoodieOnSkis 🥟🍲🔥
