Cafe China

I ordered food for delivery Christmas Eve. I got an email saying it would be about an hour. I called about an hour and 20 minutes later wondering where my order is. They said they hadn't even started it but to give them 30 minutes. I gave them 45 and called back. They informed me they STILL have not even started it and they offered to cancel my order. I agreed and they said they would. By then I had been waiting more than 2 hours and pretty much EVERY restaurant was hours away from being able to get me food because it was Christmas Eve, so I had some chips and went to bed. The nearly $45 I spent there is STILL not returned to me. So as of now, they basically gave me a crappy Christmas Eve experience and charged 45 dollars for making my evening worse. I assume the money will eventually be back in my account in a few days (it better be), but that makes this situation even worse that I got a horrible experience with no food and lost 45 bucks for a few days for it. There were NO offers make it right because they just didn't make my food, either the first time when I ordered or in the extra time I gave them when I figured out they messed up the first time. Do NOT recommend them, avoid this place until they actually care about their customers to make it right when they mess up this badly and actually have a order system where you will get food after you pay for it. As of now, there's a chance you will pay for food and not get ANY, and then have to wait days for the money to be returned. And you'll have no idea that is happened until you call them when your order doesn't show up, they won't even let you know themselves. And if it happens, they will give you a quick "Sorry" and offer to cancel your order and that's it.

Great food, atmosphere, and very soothing inside due to how quiet it is. Would recommend to people that are looking for a good priced meal. Make sure to try the orange chicken and the egg rolls! I love Cafe China

HUGE UPDATE! THEY'RE SELLING PHONE NUMBERS!! I just moved to Parker like a month ago, and got calls just now from a senior living center trying to advertise to me. Exactly three companies have gotten my phone number and know I live in Parker now: Amazon, American Express, and CAFE CHINA!! Not even my leasing office has my number, they have my husband's. They busted themselves by process of elimination! Don't buy here unless you want your info sold!!! As for the service here: Upon pickup, a very terse lady asked me for my phone number, from far behind the counter. I could not hear her, she was not polite. A more polite man found the food and took my payment, he was chill and kind. The lady needs to understand that he can NOT compensate for her, and maybe just stay away from the counter. As for the food: The dumplings are nice, and they were the only thing. That's the best thing I can say. I had an order of orange beef, chicken lo mein, dumplings and egg rolls. I picked it up at the time indicated on my order, and let me tell you: by the time I got there, the orange beef was absolutely soggy and sodden, all the way through. It is downright mushy. Not a single iota of crispness. I believe it was cooked well, as it tasted well prepared (not good though, for other reasons) but they very much need to avoid MASSIVELY over-estimating the ready time, to the point it ruins dishes. Additionally, it is severely too sweet. I know this is always a risk when I order anything from an American Chinese place, but this is one of the worst offenders I've had in a long time. The sauce is basically concentrated syrup. Let's put it this way, there were actual orange pieces, which is commendable, but I was using them to CLEAN MY PALETTE of the sauce. I'm hormonal-hungry right now, and did not finish the dish. My husband got chicken lo mein and allowed me a few bites. But... here's a picture of what it looked like coming out of the box. They stuffed it down and it was stodgy and congealed. It does taste better than the orange beef, and I usually scoff at reviews that say things are bland, especially Chinese, but this was indeed bland. Chinese food that is simple and well prepared is a delight. This was 90% cheap noodles and uninspired sauce. The wok hay is just not there and that's a make or break for me with lo mein. It IS a simple dish, it's supposed to be. I make it better myself and I'm by no means Chinese. Dear owners: You should try these two condiments. Dark soy and shao xing wine. Why are they in my kitchen but not yours? The worst: My steamed rice had a spot of sauce in it, as if a used spoon was used to scoop it. I was going ot give a 2-star, but this is what you did to get my 1. Cross contamination is not okay. Not ever. Period.

This is the place to go for a good meal with enough food. I have loved this place for years now, and I am still satisfied with the service and taste. Highly recommend.

Food was very quick. Done in half the time their website said it would be. I ordered spicy pork. The meat looked like it was dissolving and everything tasted like fish. I would not recommend.

It’s -7° out and this food really hit the spot. I have lived in Parker forever, but never tried Cafe China until tonight. Really happy with the food! Used the website to order online, I’m a pretty plain eater, and they followed all instructions. I’ve ordered from many Chinese restaurants in the past and have always received steamed rice with my Lo Mein. I assumed it came with it l, but it does not here. If you want steamed rice, you just need to add it to your order. Still a great value for the price. I will definitely order from here again!

I LOVE this place!! The food is always delicious!! Never disappoints! And their delivery time is on point!! I just placed an order at 4:58p. Was given an hour quote- it’s Friday night so that’s to be expected, given my timing. My food was here by 5:20!!! Oh and did I mention the food is DELICIOUS?!

Such tasty food and diverse, large menu makes me always ask, "What do I try this time?" 😋 Lunch specials are from $7.25 to $7.95 and come with Eggroll, Fried rice and Soup. Good sized portions and fresh ingredients make this place stand out as the best take out place. Seating is limited to 3 tables. (Pictured) Today's small 'Thai Spicy Soup' was great and larger than expected.

We have eaten dinner here 7 times in the two months since we moved to Parker--once in-house, and the rest take-out. In house there are just a handful of tables, and most orders here are take out. Employees answer the phone quickly, take the order, no name or phone number requested (which shows trust of the customers), quote the order total (for the 2 of us it's always been $30.14 pre tip), and establish pickup time, either 15 or 20 minutes. Our order has always been ready on time. Quick, courteous, efficient. My husband is totally stuck on the Happy Family, due to its generous amount and variety of meats--especially the scallops. How they sell it for $14.95 I can't say. I'm a Moo Goo Gai Pan ($12.95) fan, and always have enough left for at least another meal. I've also enjoyed the Lemon Chicken. The orders come with a sufficiently-sized carton of steamed rice, packaged fortune cookies (so far they've always been crisp and taste very fresh), and soy sauce packets. Parking is the only problem. Cafe China is on the end of a short strip mall with only one entrance to parking. They're between an national chain ice cream shop, and a much larger, very popular local Italian restaurant, both located right off Mainstreet. If you enter the lot and one of the 25 spaces isn't open, turning and exiting is extremely challenging. We inevitably end up parking in the next part of the strip mall parking lot. We've no reason yet to try another Chinese take-out business in Parker.

wanted to love this place - but it's just "ok" - the seasoning is a bit overpowering, it was greasy. And all the dishes we ordered had similar flavors. Might give them a try again - when I'm craving take out next but overall not my favorite

Good food but the service is lacking. Came in with the intentions of dining in, and they asked if we were. We immediately knew they werent prepared for dine in service and they were used to take out only. They had a plant leaking on one of the tables, so we sat at one of the few open tables. Very basic design Plastic forks, spoons, and paper bowls. It felt like we were ready for a picnic at the park, not dining in a restaurant. The cashier/waitress didn't offer any water or any other service. Dropped the food off and went back. The food itself was good but I probably won't be back. here

We just recently moved to Parker and have been looking for a "go-to" Chinese place for awhile. We were hoping this place was it but it just... wasn't. I love hot and sour soup and though it was hot and sour, it was kind of bland. We got a side of lo mein noodles and it was just noodles, nothing else. I thought it would have come with vegetables? The Peppered steak was really good and we would definitely get it again. We're going to give this place another try in the future so the verdict isn't out just yet...

Sad General Tso's chicken. We ordered hot and it wasn't spicy at all. With all of the taxes and delivery came out to $52 for just Lo Mein, General Tso's, and egg rolls. Changed the rice to "fried rice" and it was just sad. Looked like brown rice with some egg thrown in. For a Chinese restaurant in a great location, they honestly need to step up their game.

Ordered orange chicken extra spicy, black pepper chicken extra spicy, sesame wings extra spicy and some wontons. I placed the order online and paid $70. The parking lot had no empty stops so I had to park pretty far, so that was frustrating. The person inside was friendly & my order was ready. The food barely had any flavor and absolutely not spicy at all. The rice was hard & so were the wontons. The wings were super sticky too. The orange chicken had an interesting sauce that we weren't expecting. Sadly, it was expensive and would've been worth if it was good, but we don't be back again.

Horrible food. Really 100% bad. We ordered dishes that are very different flavors and preparation in any good or even okay Chinese joint. The dishes here were all coated--and I mean PLASTERED--in the same depressing brown sauce - dishes looked the same, tasted the same, and the cooking was so substandard, it made me sad for the owners that they think this is acceptable to serve customers. Vegetables were soggy and the meat was nearly non-existent. $50 went into the garbage, the food was so unacceptable. Literally, we gave up after a few bites, compared the orders, tried one another's, laughed that our orders were all made the same and were the same flavor of gross. All the food went into the trash. $50 of garbage. Microwaved P.F. Chang's is better. Buyer beware.

It is exactly what you should expect from a strip mall Chinese food joint. Thank goodness it is here.

Good quality take out for a reasonable price. Mongolian beef was delicious! Orange chicken was great too.

Mongolian beef is on point!! Honestly, I think this place is great and the flavor is fantastic! They never disappoint and what I love is that the portions are big and they don't skimp!! Friendly people and food is ready hot and fast!

Very disappointed. Ordered beef skewers and what we received was not beef skewers but was a tiny piece of meat with a pineapple. We have ordered these in the past and the meat is normally 1/2 the length of the skewer. Not sure what happed to this restaurant as they USED to be good.

My husband and I did GRUBHUB from Cafe China last night. It was delivered perfectly on time, which was the first POSITIVE of several about this order! The other POSITIVE attributes of our delivery order = The Lo Mien was DELICIOUS according to my husband, as was the green curry! Now for the negatives... The orange chicken was pretty much inedible... My husband would chew and then spit it out (lol)... And the spring rolls were mediocre. I think if we order from here again, the curry and lo mien will definitely be part of the order- but the orange chicken, NOPE!

Horrible food. Take out if you're desperate. Utensils are plastic. Hated Everything about this place

This is our usual go to Chinese food now. Everything is always very good, delivery is always on time or earlier than the time given. I'd recommend to anyone looking for good takeout here in Parker.

Love this place! The food is always amazing and has great portion sizes. Their menu is HUGE and has many options. I generally order the same thing every time which is my favorite but I have ordered...... Crab Cheese Wontons Steamed Rice Plain Lo Mein Sweet & Sour Chicken Egg Drop Soup Wonton Soup Beef on a Stick ( FYI, it is 1 piece of meat on skewer with pineapples but generally 5-6 sticks. ) Staff are very helpful and will answer any questions or substitutions if needed. Takeout walk in time is about 15 mins and delivery is generally an hour or under depending on what time you order. I work local to their shop and have had them deliver multiple times and the food is always packaged well with utensils and sauces included. My favorite Chinese/Thai place!

I've order out for two years, the Mongolian beef,and the king pow chicken were good. I Really give this place 3 1/2 stars. I order through grubhub.

Food is super good, it's family owned hole in the wall. Owners are great people and the food comes out hot and cooked great. Overall a great place for lunch or dinner! If you want good Chinese/Thai cuisine in Parker this place is amazing!

It is very good take out / delivery Chinese food with some Thai options. Our favorites are mooshu beef, sweet and sour chicken, pan fried noodles, lo mein, jalapeño beef, and egg foo young.

$56 down the drain...literally! Ended up down the garbage disposal. We ordered three dinners on Thursday April 20th, absolutely the worst! Two Sesame Chicken with Egg fried rice, and one Orange chicken with Beef lo Mein and two orders of egg rolls. All three meals the chicken was very mushy (usually sesame chicken is crispy) and we couldn't even eat it. It did not taste like chicken but rather some other fatty meat like substance. The rice was all dried out and just a few pieces of egg. The lo mein was over cooked and the egg rolls were these skinny sticks that lacked flavor. We thought we would try something other than Panda Express, bad mistake.

We ordered sweet sour pork, Kung pao chicken and General Tso chicken to go. Each dish came with white rice and additional for fried rice. No egg roll or soup with dinner. The quantity was good. Unfortunately Food was bland for our taste. Kung pao chicken had no kick. Is this what the people of Parker think of Chinese food?!!!! Parker needs a Chinese restaurant, not Vietnamese, not Thai, not Korean. Oh my!

Maybe Okay for some people, but not great for me. I feel like neighborhood Chinese places start to become like The Family Stuffing Recipe, where almost everyone does it slightly different and their way is "the best". One review said they have never been disappointed by this place, but I was. I ordered sesame chicken with spring rolls/egg rolls and ate in. All food, even dining in, comes in styrofoam. Sad. I try really hard to avoid using styrofoam. The egg rolls were in thinner spring roll wrappers and had no real flavor aside from the vegetables, mostly cabbage. I was mildly freaked out by the immense amount of irregularly size black flakes in everything even though *nothing* tasted like pepper. The sesame chicken was all dark meat and was luke warm even though it seemed like they had just cooked it. The sauce was much warmer though so maybe it was hanging around before being stir fried into the sauce? Speaking of the sauce, it was way too thick and sticky. Sludgy even. The rice was flavorless and had hard clumps in it. I ate 2 bites and was done. The hot and sour soup was pretty decent but came with no crunchy soup noodles or crisps like most places serve. Service was polite and easygoing. There isn't really a dining in section aside from three tables squeezed into the front. This is mostly takeout. I had a hard time finding the place at first. It's tucked into the plaza with Goodwill, McDonald's and Wellsfargo and has limited parking near the restaurant. I parked my McDonald's and walked over but it was close by. I won't return but I am sure many people would find it to be fine.

Absolutely delicious! My go to takeout restaurant! Everything is delicious every time! Everyone is so nice.

Very yummy food and people are very friendly there as well! I've never dined in only picked up or ordered online for delivery. Delicious!

Delicious! We order from here all the time and are never disappointed!!!! We highly recommend the orange chicken or the sweet and sour chicken!

We love China Cafe!! I have been coming here for over 20 years and drive 30 minutes each way to come get it. The Shrimp with Lobster Sauce is my favorite and my son get the Sweet & Sour Shrimp, Crab cheese wontons, pork fried Rice and chicken with snow peas. My son will say I will wait to get Cafe China, I do not want anything else. Owners are fantastic too!!

Fast Chinese food that hits the spot. This is your typical American-Chinese food joint where you'll find all the standard dishes. I tried the Kung Pao Tofu and Curry Vegetables and both were good! I was pleasantly surprised at the Curry Vegetables because they really jam pack a good variety of veggies in there. A nice and convenient place for takeout in Parker.

Great food and service. The food is always tasty! Mongolian beef is pretty spicy so be careful when choosing your level of spice!

I absolutely love Cafe China in Parker. They make some great food. I tend to order Shrimp Fried Rice. My husband loves their Sesame Chicken. They are very quick to deliver and always provide an accurate order that tastes awesome! I will be ordering again!

Ordered from their website...2 hours later..called. They admitted to not seeing our order & would not charge & would get our order done ASAP!! Got food, got charged, got 2 crap egg rolls for our wait!!! Never again!!!! Not OKAY!!!!

So pissed off. Placed an order that they were supposed to deliver and it never happened. Called GrubHub. They said they can't connect to the driver because it's an employee of the company. I never got my food will never ever order from these people again.

This is an established Parker restaurant with excellent take out food. It has a small area for sit down but 90%+ is take out. We have ordered and were pleased with a variety of pork, chicken and beef dishes. You will not be disappointed.

Solid 3. This place is not a cafe, it's a takeout restaurant, period. They do have a few tables but bring your own silverware. The small and very flimsy plastic ware they give you is barely strong enough for a thin noodle. They will tell you they have no table service if you ask. Any, I may or may not order from them again. If you're in a pinch, go for it. It's not bad Chinese.

I ordered the triple delight; It was Ok but very short of beef and shrimp. I stopped going here a couple of years ago because of the lack of meat, but unfortunately tried it one more time. NEVER AGAIN

Very bad. I gave her $100 for a $60 order, she gave me $30 in small bills. When I counted it and realized it was short, she said "is that not right?" and immediately put $10 more down. So she knew. Beef on a skewer is 1/2 the size of every other place, egg rolls are all wrapper with a very small bit of cabbage. Wontons pretty good. Lo mein is spaghetti, not lo mein noodles. Really disappointing, I'm surprised it's been in business so long. If you're gonna eat here, count your change!

Tasteless Chinese food?? Sadly. Wontons in soup we're horrible. No Yaki in the teriyaki. Ordered online for their convenience and got a $1.25 service charge for my trouble. Left a tip and sorry I did. Never again!

I just moved to Parker recently and amongst moving boxes and cleaning I have not had any time to cook so I have been trying out the local takeout fare. This Chinese + Thai food delivery (and dine-in) restaurant did not disappoint! Ordered takeout on a Friday night around 8:15pm and food was at my door within about 35 minutes. Apps - Crab meat wontons (other places call this crab rangoon) - five stars. Unlike other places, these tasted fresh and not fishy. Nice and crispy with a cream cheese-y crab filling and sweet dipping sauce. Meal - I was in the mood for Thai food while my hubby wanted Chinese - luckily, this place serves both types of fare! I went for tofu pad Thai which was very tasty, not overly spicy (as you may know if you ordered from an all Thai restaurant you can run into intense hot spiceyness!) with generous portion of tofu and a nice big lime to squeeze over my noodles with sprinkles peanuts. My hubby went for sesame chicken which was well-received - large chunks of sweet chicken that were not overly breaded. I used to live in Lone Tree and found that Cafe China is actually probably $10-$12 cheaper than the Chinese takeout place I used to order from at my old abode. Summary: Efficient delivery time, tasty and good quality food, and cheaper prices than competing Chinese food spots in the area! Also a bonus that they do Thai food also, not just Chinese food!

Absolutely disgusting! Food is terrible, took forever, and arrived cold. I will NEVER order from again. So gross! I was really hoping to find a good Chinese place to deliver...apparently it can't be done. No where in/around Parker, CO can provide good Chinese.... GROSS!

I've been a faithful customer of theirs for years. This WAS the only place I would ever recommend or order Chinese from. 4:30: placed an order the day after Xmas 5:45: Checked on status. Order delivered to wrong address. Denied responsibility. Said it was my fault. Asked if I checked in front of the wrong addresses door.How would I know to do that? Driver sent to wrong address - again for the 2nd time. 6:00: Driver had 2 other orders along with ours. We should've been priority. BUT apparently not, since the order arrived at 6:45. 7:15: I called back to let them know there was no fried rice which they upcharge. Cafe China: So we'll credit your next order $1 Me: I feel it's only fair that THIS order should be free since it took nearly 3hrs thru no fault of our own and it was wrong when it got here. CC: Your neighbors stole it. Then you never tipped the driver and you live far. 8mi. We only did it because you a long time customer. Me: It's 6.7mi and you charged $5 for delivery. The driver was gone before we got to the door. Why would we tip when it took more than 2.5hrs and multiple ph calls to get our order? CC: It's Xmas and we still have to pay and tip your driver who you didn't tip and we cooked your order 3x's. Me: That's an expense of being in business. You eat your mistakes. You don't blame your customers and expect them to eat your losses. CC: OK We'll refund your order YOU NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN!!! CLICK WOW! You must be very fortunate not to have to worry about customers .Especially in this COVID era. Fine with me ! I'll find another Chinese restaurant and go to Portifinos exclusively when I'm on that side if town. I used to divide my time between you 2 but since my hard earned money isn't appreciated I'll direct my funds elsewhere.

The helping size was great. We ordered Kung Pau Chicken, Lemon Chicken and Cashew Shrimp. We were sent Kung Pau Shrimp. The lemon chicken was just a deep fried chicken breast with the lemon sauce on the side. None of the main dishes had very good flavor. Very bland. For the $65 price we had hoped it would be better. We do not recommend.

I hate leaving low stars but when it's true it's true. The pros is the yelp app ordering and fast service. Portion was big and packaging nice. But other than that, ugh. I ordered green curry and well you can tell by the pictures... that's not what I got. It wasn't green. It was yellow; Which I don't think is even on their menu. It also had the wrong vegetables. It didn't have bamboo shoots and it had either tofu or potatoes? The vegetables I did get weren't well prepared. The onion had tough outside edges that were thin and over cooked and whole chunks including the eye. The peppers were cut inconsistent sizes so cooked unevenly. The (what I think were) potatoes were the frozen variety because of the ridges, fake crispy edges and processed compressed shapes. To top it all off the curry sauce was well the right flavors but obviously thrown together in a hurry. The flavors hadn't melded at all and it was very watery. I got pretty much coconut milk and red chili flakes. Very lack luster. Obviously they are in such a hurry to get orders out they forgot how to cook. I get dumplings to gauge a place every new place I go and these were, well, okay. The outside dough was thick but the inside was fine. They were large dumplings but they couldn't hold the sauce. Flavor was okay though. Also, the parking is not fun at all. If you pull into the front of the shop in busy downtown Parker, you better get lucky and get a parking spot because there is no place to turn around. If you haven't been here before, this is Carry Out ONLY! No seating to dine in. Not like you would if there was.

I've had food from here twice. Both times as carry out. The second time, I ordered online which was a really cool and very easy experience. I've been pleased with everything I had both times. I much prefer their sweet and sour pork to any other Chinese place in Parker. I'm also a fan of the fried rice and lo mein. They have a pretty extensive menu and I look forward to trying out more things on it. I had been a bit underwhelmed by the Chinese food in Colorado as compared to what I'd become used to on the east coast but Cafe China gives me new hope. The staff are very friendly as well. Sure, it's just a carry out store front, but give it a chance, they really know what they're doing.

Best Food Ever! My daughter and I order their veggie lo mein! It was delicious, full of so many veggies and noodles! My daughter got the wonton soup and it was fantastic! I have never been a fan, but this was so good! We will definitely be coming back:)

If I could give them no stars I would. Used to be a pretty good Chinese restaurant but I wont eat there ever again.... Ever! First I noticed the orders were missing vegetables, sauces, etc. I decided after multiple tries to right the wrongs, I would boycott them for a while. After a year I ordered a dinner. They sent me the wrong order. I called and the woman told me it was absolutely correct. Even argued the point. The next dinner I ordered came fast and it was hot. Looking at the dish all the peppers were rotten! Every single pepper! Yuk! I called and they took no responsibility at all and made no attempt to right the wrong. Not even an apology. Who would send out rotten food? I am done with them!!! Save yourself some time, money, frustration and food poisoning! I now dine at Cherry Village on Lincoln. Now there is some excellent Chinese food!

Delivery was great. Food was not. Mongolian Beef was lacking flavor, red peppers, and veggies. Ordered steamed and fried rice, one was a little darker but no difference. Cant recommend it.

They are super fast at getting your food out! Favorite Chinese food place in Parker. So convenient it's on Mainstreet.

This was my first and last experience at China Cafe. The wonton soup had raw wontons. The dough was chewy and raw... inedible. The thai spring rolls had a disgusting peanut sauce. It was really thick and didn't taste good. And the roll filling was almost all lettuce. Worst food I've had in a long time.

We're somewhat disappointed with the direction this place is going. It has been our go-to place for Chinese takeout for quite some time. While I understand the Covid has put extra pressure on everyone, the takeout from here seems to have gone downhill. I'm guessing, but have the impression they're cooking a bunch of food ahead of time and just boxing it up and adding the designated sauce when ordered. We used to get the food home and it would be hot enough to eat out of the box. For the last few times we've had to nuke all of the food in the microwave to get it to an edible temperature. If we wanted microwave food we'd just buy it from the supermarket and cook it ourselves.

I had not been here for a couple years, but I remembered liking the food ( I think it was my favorite Chinese in Parker about a decade ago), so I dropped by for some takeout this week. I had the Mongolian beef, but was not that impressed. Yes, it was tender, and quality of the beef was good. Also, the onions with it were cooked correctly and had some flavor. It was also a decent-sized portion for $8 to $9. However, the sauce was very one-note, that note being "slightly sweet". There was no heat, no zing, and no complexity. Also, the onions were the only visible vegetable to be seen (it could have used something to break up the monotony). The cashier lady was friendly, and my order was ready quickly. But, the Mongolian beef at Cherry village on the other side of Parker is significantly better. You can eat-in here, but only if you manage to get one of the only three tables. This is not that hard to do, as most customers seem to get takeout or delivery.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of Colorado!! I don't come here often, but the food is AMAZING. The rice is never undercooked and neither is the rest of the food. The sauce is on fleek and fills you with happiness. The servers are very kind and patient. I have done delivery a few times, and is at my house within 20-30 minutes. Takeout is very quick and easy. Once you get in the car, the air fills with a delicious scent of Chinese food. Overall score: ( out of ten ) Food - 10 Service - 10 Wait - 10
