Tsai Shen Garden

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this location. The years we have spent coming here is definitely amazing as we created numerous memories dining on fine Chinese food. Yes, the staff’s attitude does vary, unfortunately, however, they have some delicious appetizers, entrees, and the dessert is eh… Not so much. The grab cheese wontons are exquisite and creamy, the sesame chicken is so crunchy, saucy and gourmet. The egg drop soup is nice and hot and makes a perfect appetizer idea. The vegetable dish is also fantastic and mouth watering. The dessert is alright but not highly recommended. The place itself is wholesome Chinese food and you won’t regret eating there!

Terrible food. The place was empty at noon for lunch. Soup salty and bland. Appetizers were a joke. Entrees were awful. At least the service was good as we were the only ones there. We left the meal over, paid $ 35 for a 27 bill, and walked out. Sorry

There are so few places in Denver Metro that you can get BBQ pork fried rice. This is one of those places!!!
I am spoiled from eating east coast Chinese most of my life and I much prefer the flavor of the BBQ pork to the seemingly chopped up pork chop thrown in as most places do.
I have been coming to this location for years now. It’s a great stop on the way back from the Airport and really easy to get to. My only issue with them now really isn’t their fault. A pot shop opened next door to them and unfortunately it permeates into their location.
I have eaten at this location several times with family and friends but now it will probably be strictly take out for me. Don’t let that deter you from stopping in.

Delivery is always on point and delicious, my favorite Chinese in Aurora. Soup and tea when you eat in restaurant for lunch.

The food is great, but the customer service is horrible! I have never been so disrespected by someone. I called for delivery and they took and hour to bring me my food; and when I called the owner yelled at me and told me to wait. This place is run by two asian brothers and they are the most rude persons ever. Beware with the asian twins.

Last night we ordered the General Tso and Orange Chicken for pick-​up. Underwhelmed by the quality of the food but the kicker came at 1 AM this morning. Horrible stomach cramps that can only be attributed to food poisoning. Boyfriend seems to be ok so it must’ve been the Orange Chicken. If you have lots of extra sick days and want to live life on the edge, go for it. As for me, I will never cheat on Phở Café (off Mississippi) again!

This Chinese restaurant is really good. I love that their lo mein is mostly noodles and only a small amount of veggies. My favorite dish so far is the general tso’s chicken. My boyfriend likes the sesame chicken too. Although I have not eaten at the restaurant, the ambiance seems nice. A warning to late eaters: this restaurant WILL CLOSE EARLY IF THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS. If you’re looking for a late night meal I suggest you call first. You might be able to order take out if they are closing.
Every time we have ordered food it was been late and they have been getting ready to close. We have only gotten take out. They are very quick at filling our order. We haven’t had to wait more than 10 – 15 min for our food.

Overall, a great deal for solo ventures.
I was looking to try something new for lunch and so I did a quick Google search and found this place. The food is good — not excellent, but good. However, the pricing is what really blows the deal away.
The lunch special includes a huge tray of food, large slot filled with meat, two smaller slots filled with your choice of side. Along with that, you get crab cheese Rangoon and veggie egg roll, all for an awesome $ 6.50 (before tax). When was the last time you had a meal so large, you couldn’t finish it for $ 6.50? I also got a «small» order of soup for $ 1.50, but don’t let that word fool you: it was probably about 16 fluid ounces of soup. For some, that could have been the meal.
I ordered the sesame chicken, as it is a favorite of mine and a common order at Chinese restaurants. Cooked to perfection, crispy, not overcooked. Sauce was a tad bit sweet, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.
Overall, an excellent deal. I am very happy and would highly recommend eating here for a cheap, tasty meal. I would not, however, recommend this as a formal dinner. As I said, the food is good, but not excellent, and the inside of the restaurant looks a little dark and damp. Best to order to-​go from this place.

It’s always nice to find a little place hidden in the treasures of a strip mall neighborhood. I ordered the Mongolian triple delight and was surprised at the juiciness and texture of the shrimp, Chechen and steak. Cooked to perfection not overcooked like most places cook shrimp. The lunch portion was like a large and I didn’t have to choose between crab rangoon and an egg roll — I got both. My favorite part of the day with the creamy egg drop soup super yummy in my tummy.
When I’m on the side of town I’ll definitely come back. The service was great, the employees was really nice in the quiet atmosphere was just what the doctor ordered during the middle of a hard work day. I really enjoyed everything!

I love the food here! It seems less greasy than some of the other chinese in the area. I had the basil chicken which was full of flavor and had an awesome kick from the jalepenos! The serving size was huge, especially the rice, I pobably threw away over 3 cups of rice. The only con is that they don’t deliver to my area.

Overpriced and tastes cheap. Ive eaten ground up dog rectum that had better flavor than this cat carcass they are trying to pass off as Chinese food. I literally had to punch my dinner because it wouldn’t stop meowing!

Food was on par with the prices; nothing extraordinary. We ordered the Chicken Fried Rice and a large Egg Drop soup. Beware, they will nickel and dime you (was charged extra for hot oil).

Sesame Chicken was good.

Pretty good food and good service.
The menu is pretty typical for Chinese food, but they will sub sauce for you or keep an item out. They are also great about adjusting spice.
What keeps them from a 5 star rating for me is the following: dumplings skin is way way too thick. It’s gross in the wonton soup. The sesame chicken is both white and dark meat, pick one. The mooshu once had a tiny bone chip in it… cracked my tooth. Not their fault per se, but speaks to quality of ground pork.

Very authentic. You have to leave a few coins on the little Buddha statue. Wonderful food great people. We very much enjoyed our experience there.

Was the third restaurant I tried after moving to Aurora and by far it is the best. Food is good. Prices are reasonable. I have since moved about 15 minutes away but still go there, driving past multiple other restaurants. I am a fan!

Dont bother! terrible business management. Ordered delivery, in the middle of moving, waited over an hour, finally called them, they never started my order because they didn’t know what kind of rice I wanted… never even called me. Were very rude and didn’t know what to say or offer much for me even though i was starving and upset. manager said they dont even take on line orders… how they knew what I orders is interesting… confusing. Dont bother. they dont care!

This place is by far one of the best I’ve had. The beef is good (no gross fatty cuts like I’ve had elsewhere) and the vegetables are just right. Not undercooked or overcooked. Service is generally prompt as well. The only place we’ll order from.

An average chop shuy house. It is ok with nothing that really shines. I will come back only if I really had to do so. Friendly and efficient service rendered. The restaurant is tucked away slightly lower than the thoroughfare on the right

Okies, once again, how come there are «two slotted» spot for this establishment? Hence I’ll write my review in this «slot», which was first reviewed in 2009 with the rest of the Unilocalers who had reviewed this establishment. Was here with one of my gurl fren, on TUESDAY February 21^st 2012.
First note to self, make sure if to dine out on a TUESDAY, check all the possibilities of all the restaurants, I am eyeing, to dine out especially at this part of neighborhood to be open. Tsai Shen Garden came to our rescue coz after running errands all the way from the other part of the neighborhood aka WEST AREA and need to be in this area. We called in, and asked TSAI SHEN GARDEN if they are OPEN. Thankfully they are.
When we arrived for this LATE LATE LUNCH, time was: 15:15hrs ish. Another good note, we arrived just in time for their LUNCH HOUR cut off, which was 3:30pm. If I am not mistaken, there are like another patron dining in.
Since both of us were «starving» and from the brief «glance» of the menu, these was what I ordered :
* Szechuan Beef ($ 6.25)
* Bomber Combination (to go for Hubs) (Chef’s Specials $ 6.95)
My friend ordered Kung Pao Three Delight ($ 6.95)
My order came in with, Egg Roll, and Crabmeat Cheese Wonton, and I opt for Egg Drop Soup and Fried Rice. The Egg Roll and Crabmeat Cheese Wonton, came out hot, crispy, a good sign, since I dont like stuffs cold or soaggy. Another good note, if I could recall properly, we were given complimentary tea for our lunch. My main entrée of Szechuan Beef was A-​OK, though I so wish it could be more spicy.
All in all, its an OK Lunch though I bet my friend bet to differ from her glowing review. For the LUNCH price you get, its DEFINITELY a STEAL DEAL! As with regards to flavor, its just OK for my taste bud. Dont mind returning, when needed if I am in this part of the neighborhood.
The Bomber Combination comes with Shrimp, Beef and Chicken with a Spicy Sauce and Vegetables. Also from the Hubs’ feedback, he likes the order of his Bomber Combination, the flavor was just right and has a «unique» taste in which until now I am trying to figure well. Oh well. But when I had the Bomber Combination to go, I think the Kitchen staff forgot or perhaps its «their» practice NOT to include any kind of soup for that pricing. No big deal, but just want to give a heads-​up.
The service was prompt, inviting and we got our food freshly cooked, hot and fast. While having our late lunch, there are many more patrons came in to dine in. We left Tsai Shen Garden about 16:05hrs ish.
