Denver, CO
Best Chinese in Denver.
Harry's top 10 Chinese spots in Denver score 67–88 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$.
The question is not whether it is authentic — it is whether the kitchen has a point of view. Harry does not want fusion. He wants to know if the cook is from Sichuan or Guangdong, and if the heat, the oil temperature, and the seasoning are doing something specific. Regional specificity is the only interesting thing.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
