I wanted to like this place as it’s in my neighborhood, but I think my time here is done. I’ve given this place several tries and the food is always “meh” …the food is either bland, too salty, always a random crunchy bit in the food or there’s odd vegetables in certain dishes. The kicker for me was not only the long hair in the chicken dish I ordered, but the curly piece of metal from a scrubber (I’m guessing) in the fried rice. The hair is not the first and probably not the last. If you order, inspect your food.

I ordered lemon chicken meal. The chicken was soggy and had some green thing on it, the lemon sauce tasted like straight from a can, the egg roll was extremely small finished in 2 bites and it was probably frozen prior. Don’t eat

2nd time I've ordered from them using their online portal and both times, the order was delivered at least 30 minutes later than the guaranteed time. Each time I called, they'd say it was on its way, and each time I'd have to call several times. Then when I got my order tonight, it wasn't correct. When I called to ask for a $2 refund for the fried rice up charge I didn't get, they tried to turn it around on me and said they needed to charge me for asking for all white meat chicken. Really? The order took 1.5 hrs for delivery and was delivered 30 minutes later than the time the email order confirmation said. I've referred so many people to this place but I can no longer do this in good conscience.

Hands down my favorite Chinese takeout spot in Denver, and I've ordered from SEVERAL. Their cheese wonton are the BEST I've ever had in the city. My go-to orders are Sesame Tofu with lomein or Sesame chicken with fried rice. DELICIOUS every time!

Sweet Rice Cafe has a large variety of Chinese dishes. There is no dining area, so your choices are; pick up (which is quicker) or delivery.Parking: There are other businesses, but there are parking spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair ramp, but business is accessible.
Placed an online order to have it ready when we arrived, but they said they didn't get it until 5 minutes prior, plus they had many orders before ours, so the wait was long for mediocre food. We ordered orange chicken (flavorless) and moo shu pork (fine). Call in your order instead of online. But I'm not coming here again.

Great takeout Chinese. We love the wonton soup and the Singapore noodles. The mushu pork is always just right. The people are friendly. The one time that an order was delivered wrong, they were very kind and made it right. This is a great little option for casual and classic takeout Chinese. Don’t hesitate.

The best Chinese joint in the neighborhood. Others are too greasy, too sweet, or too heavy on the canned vegetables (bamboo shoots/water chestnuts). Sweet Rice has real vegetables, not overcooked. They are generous with their meats. They don't charge extra for brown rice. Their only fish offering is deep fried and not great, but everything else is good. Remember to ask for the free egg rolls!

Best Asian carryout by far. Vegetables fresh and crisp, meat cooked to perfection. Their greeter brought our order out to our car. Highly recommend.

My food is always made fresh with lots of flavor. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! You will not be disappointed.

Friend said Sesame Chicken was good, but he's had better as it wasn't crisp on outside. My Panang Curry was good but a Thai restaurant would make it better. The only dining area is outside on metal tables and chairs.We, and an UberEats driver, had to wait longer than expected to get food, but not by a lot.Eventhough I paid in cash, no receipt was offered, didn't need it, but it could be important to some.

Easily one of the best places in Denver to get Orange chicken. I love this spot! The entire menu is good, and the portions are insane

Great local spot for takeout, always a good bite. It's on my "don't want to cook tonight" speed dial.
