I had been thinking about trying Peking Duck after hearing several people talk about what a delight it is. My husband and I live in a small southwestern town and there are little choices when it comes to specialty dishes like this. So when we were coming to Denver for a concert, we decided to look up where good Peking duck is served. A couple of spots jumped out with high reviews. One was Star Cafe, which I had pretty much settled on. But upon further research, the Hong Kong BBQ got higher reviews/marks. So, we decided that is the place we would go. It's located in an Asian area of southwest Denver, in a simple strip center with other businesses. Interesting fact: The Star Cafe was literally right around the corner of this strip center. I guess we could have gone to both to see which we liked better lol I had called a few days before to find out if we needed to reserve a duck for us, and the very friendly, exuberant, happy lady that answered the phone said there was no need to order ahead....to just come in and tell them what we wanted and they would have more than enough. I had read other reviews say that it can be a little off-putting....dirty fingerprints on the front door, cigarette butts littering the sidewalk outside, and a greasy film on the tables. NONE OF THIS WAS TRUE! It is a small establishment, very understated, but very clean. The server was quick to wait on us. We ordered the crispy cheese wontons and a half duck, for the two of us...Cokes to drink. Let me just say....the wontons were delicious and crispy, with a sweet mayo-type sauce to dip it in. And very flavorful. But the duck!!?? Exquisite! The skin was nice and crispy, the meat was moist and juicy. They were served with bao....little fluffy pancake type breads to make a duck sandwich out of. I've heard since then that restaurants usually serve Peking duck with a thin papery crepe-like wrap, that you can fold into a pocket or rolled like a tortilla after assembling. Speaking of assembling, the duck comes with a hoisin sauce and strips of sliced green onion. I'd like to try it again with the thinner crepes....the thickness and texture of the bao wasn't as satisfying. We ended up just eating the duck and the onions and the sauce. And it was delicious. So don't hesitate to go here. Everyone was so nice there...including the bubbly woman that had answered the phone. You can tell she loves what she does and loves people!

I don't want to tell you about this place and for many this is a place they will never understand. If you see a greasy glass front door with errant cig butts tossed around and that concerns you, leave. If tables so lacquered your arms stick to them is gonna be a problem, go. If you need a toilet with a top to its reservoir stop reading now. I saw the blurry picture of the menu, interior picks and hanging meats and knew this was for me. Decided to bring a haul to my buddies house for a friend/ family dinner. I told them I wasn't taking requests and ordered it up. 1 lb pork with crispy skin 1 lb char siu Fried shrimp dumplings (easy 15 in the order) Dry style Beef Chao Fun Shredded duck lomein (they use the smaller egg noodles and it's crispy) Bbq pork fried rice They knocked that thing out in like 15 minutes and everything was exactly how I would've wanted it to be. Lady at the counter was cool as hell too she sees that I'm taking it to go so she cuts the corner off the boxes so it doesn't steam while we are driving. Then she puts in some of the best chili oil crisp I've ever had in my life and charges me $117. Sorry, no pics too busy eating.

We came here to try Peking Duck for the first time and we were not disappointed! It was delicious and the barbecue pork lo mein was just as good. Service was fast on a Thursday night.

How is there not a line out of the door for this place? I came here once before and it was good. However, tonight's experience was INCREDIBLE! You wait a bit for the food (which the waitress told me to set the expectation) and I'm good waiting for quality food. They don't just prepare some meats ahead of time and then quickly reheat when it's ordered. This is a make-to-order place and you will taste the difference. Everything had such good flavor and I can't wait to come back and try more items. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

What a find! This little restaurant in a strip mall has one of the best roast ducks that I've had. The salt and pepper squid also was delicious. The breading was crispy but not greasy. We ordered mushrooms with vegetables and the vegetables were cooked perfectly - not overdone but tender enough. Service is good - food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Portion size is good. Definitely would return!

The beef was super tender and I like the fact that they gave a lot of Choy Sum! Really wished they had Roast Pork but they were still cooking it by the time we got our food. Overall I like the meats super tender and flavorful! Soup base for my noodles could use a bit more seasoning. Service was good and everything came out within a timely manner!

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the Westwood/Lakewood area. This restaurant situated in a small shopping strip looks unassuming. Inside the restaurant has over 10 4 person tables. We arrived between the lunch and dinner service when the chef and staff were eating dinner. They were very kind and asked if we could come back. We stepped out and the hostess came outside and said we could get served. They were so gracious with us. We ordered the garlic green beans (not on the menu) roasted pork belly and some noodles. Everything was delicious. The service was great. The food was amazing. this is our new go-to Chinese food restaurant.

The food was good, the crispy pork was the best. Service was a bit slow for Friday lunch, one person taking orders, one chopping the meats and I think 2 in the kitchen. We waiting 15-20 after placing the order for the food before we received the first dish (rice one). The beef soup came 5 mins later One of the two soups came out after another 5 minutes.

I had the craving for Chinese food in Denver and I found this area southwest of downtown that had lots of ethnic restaurants and shops. Based on the Yelp reviews, I picked Hong Kong Barbecue for an early dinner meal. The restaurant wa in a strip mall on South Federal and there was plenty of parking.s By the time we arrived, they only had BBQ duck and White Steamed chicken in the barbecue section, so we got one plate of the white cut up chicken and a plate of the beef with ginger and scallions. The food was really good, but the beef dish was very salty. The staff was nice and friendly. Next time I will try to arrive by lunch so I can get my hands on some Char Siu or Crispy pork....LOL....

Came back for weekend lunch after a big hike: - friendly service as always - roasted duck was delicious - today's MVP was the Singapore rice noodles with pork on top. The curry flavor was awesome and not overpowering. Plenty of onions and bean sprouts to add richness of texture. Noodles was stir fried to the perfect texture - macau roasted Pork was underwhelming. Not much flavor and the crispy fried skin all fell from the meat - shrimp wonton soup was satisfying too. Makes a warm soup on a chill day. Decent portion Overall I was very happy with the food I got under $50. There were two of us and plenty of leftovers
