Noodles Express Inc

As genuine Sichuan food as one is going to find in the greater Denver area. The restaurant should change its name to inform potential customers that this is first and foremost a Sichuan 'small plates' (xiao cai) eaterty, albeit one with great noodle options including a very solid dan dan mian. The home-wrapped boiled dumplings (shui jiao) are meaty and with the thick skin indicating they are of the north China variety. How the chef and his wife run this place alone and manage to get the American-portioned dishes out quickly is amazing. Don't look for an elegant atmosphere, but the food easily makes up for it. I've tried many of the newer trendy Chinese restaurants in the area and they don't hold a candle to Noodles Express in terms of authenticity.

While in the Denver area I sought real, authentic Chinese/Szechuan and this place had decent reviews, so I came here. The staff was friendly enough, but the food wasn’t all that great, maybe for typical Americans looking for basic Chinese, but it definitely didn’t meet my expectations. I tried their chicken with serrano peppers and the peppers were tasty and spicy, but overall, no flavor to the dish at all. Their spicy cucumbers were really good though. Overall – Nothing special.

Enjoyed our meal and would come back, but would not go out of our way. The eggplant and pork was the stand out dish here. We also had dumplings and Dan Dan noodles. Nothing was overly greasy or salty -- was a big fan of that. Overall this was good Chinese food. Storefront and restrooms are not spectacular but that's not what we came for.

Finally got a chance to try Noodles Expeess. Everything was delicious. My favorite part of our meal was the pork dumplings. The service was outstanding. When I went to pay the woman who helped us was excited to see my beaded wallet and she gifted me one of her own. What a great experience.

Best Chinese food in Denver. Honestly shook it doesn’t have 5 stars. Coming from someone who lived in Hong Kong for almost 2 decades, this is the closest I’ve found to traditional Chinese food. This is not American-Chinese food - this is not for the Panda Express folks - this is for folks who will really appreciate some Chinese home style cooking. The menu features 扣肉 （braised pork belly), 獅子頭 (Chinese braised meatballs), and 水煮魚 (Szechuan boiled fish). Their Dan Dan mien/noodles is by far the best and most original I’ve tried, even compared to Chinese places in LA and NY. All noodles are handmade by the owner DAILY!! Can’t recommend it enough. If you don’t know what to order - ask the chef for recos and trust!!

Overall, great place for Chinese food too! There's more than just noodles to this place. The boiled beef (not sure correct English name) and chicken vegetable dishes we ordered are pretty good. Again, like most places, could use more beef in their boiled beef, but the taste is close to the real deal. Plus is that it's a nice storefront with it's own parking lot and guest bathroom.

Dan Dan noodles were pretty good. Good chili oil and a nice kick. Dishes could have more vegetables or sauce, but it was pretty solid and a good portion. Somewhat pricey

The cabbage was phenomenal. Loved everything we ordered (Dan Dan, cabbage and spicy beef). Service was fast, food was fresh and tasted amazing. Will definitely be back to try everything! The menu seems authentic and unique. Was too spicy for me, but so good I dealt with the pain.
