Denver Day Trip | Chinese Food Hits & Misses ๐ฅข๐ฏ
๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ New Canton BBQ Inc. โ A Cantonese Gem! This spot is flavor-packed and full of heart! ๐ Duck Wonton Noodle Soup: Roasted duck was fragrant, wontons were homemade with bouncy pork and shrimp โ big and satisfying! The broth was naturally sweet, not MSG-heavy. BBQ Combo Platter: Roast duck, crispy pork, and braised intestine โ all incredibly authentic! The pork skin was crackling crisp, the intestine savory and rich. Marinated Duck Wings: Just $1 each โ tender and tasty! Many customers order whole roast ducks for only $28 โ such a steal! ๐ฆ ๐ Located next to HMart. Tiny, no-frills setting. Google reviews (4.2) mostly complain about the vibe or service, but everyone agrees: the taste is TOP-NOTCH! During the pandemic, takeout ruled โ and flavor wins! ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ Noodle Express Inc. โ Overhyped Sichuan? Rated 4.8 on Google โ but honestly, just okay. We ordered: Dan Dan Noodles: Fragrant but not spicy ๐ถ๏ธ Twice-Cooked Pork: Tasty, mildly spicy (still not enough) Yu Xiang Shredded Pork: Labeled spicy but tasted mostly sweet ๐ฏ Prices were on the higher side. Not recommended if you're craving real heat or bold Sichuan flavors. ๐ง ๐ Meet Fresh โ Big Disappointment! ๐ The Signature Taro Ball with Grass Jelly was a letdown: Almost $10 for a tiny portion โ half the size youโd get in California for $8 One tiny scoop of taro paste, undersized pearls Only the taro balls were decent, but still scarce Not worth it โ skip! ๐๏ธ Quick Denver Stops: Larimer Square: A short, pretty street โ quiet on a weekday. Cat Alley: I circled around but couldnโt find the famous cat sculptures ๐ฑโ Big Blue Bear at Convention Center: Cute for a quick photo ๐ธ๐ป๐ Next time โ aiming for Red Rocks Amphitheatre & nearby parks! ๐๏ธ๐ต #DenverEats #ChineseFood #CantoneseBBQ #SichuanFood #DenverTravel #FoodReview
