dim sum: star kitchen, superstar
cantonese dinner: jj’s, hong kong bbq, star kitchen, superstar
hot pot(da bin low, not clay pot) : king’s land, hk bbq
cantonese late night (open until around midnight): star kitchen, jj’s, superstar

One of my Chinese co-workers says the most authentic (though not perfect) restaurant around is JJ Chinese Seafood Restaurant in Denver. I stopped by for dinner a couple months back and I must say it was quite good.

Brett – you might want to ask indianfoodrocks.com about fresh kaffir lime fruit. As for real Chinese food in CO – I haven’t found any so far…

re: “Golden Lotus”

I am no expert on Chinese food but, I don’t think I have ever had “good” Chinese food in the USA. Just cooking artocities with over-fried stuff and obviously jar / bottled sauces. That being said, I haven’t really hunted it down. Yelp reviews are worthless because the reviwers are 99% people who have NO $#%$# IDEA what Chinese food should taste like.

Can you get real Chinese food in Colorado outside of someone’s home kitchen?

I cook Japanese, Sri Lankan, Malaysian, Indonesian and Thai and I can get most ingreedients at this store, the Indonesian store behind Best Buy on 28th, and Pacific Ocean Market in Broomfield. Thai cooking is the hardest to get sutff for. I cannot find fresh kaffir lime fruit anywhere in Colorado.
