Nestled in the heart of Westminster, Colorado, Uncle Henry brings the vibrant, authentic flavors of Cantonese cuisine straight to your plate. This Chinese restaurant has earned a devoted following for its masterful Hong Kong style BBQ and diverse menu that caters to all cravings—from comforting noodle soups to bold, spicy appetizers.

This no-frills approach lets the star shine—the food arrives piping hot and fresh, a testament to Uncle Henry’s commitment to quality and speed.

Indulge your senses with signature dishes like the tender White Cut Chicken, whose subtly fragrant, silky meat melts in your mouth, or the lip-smacking roast pork (烧肉) featuring crispy, caramelized skin perfectly encasing juicy, flavorful meat.

Don’t miss the fried dumplings that boast a golden, crunchy exterior with juicy, flavorful fillings inside—a true textural triumph.

Uncle Henry’s appetizers are equally enticing. The Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings pack a punch with their crispy exterior and savory, spicy seasoning, while the delicate Veggie Egg Rolls and both steamed and fried duck or pork dumplings offer comforting familiar flavors with a fresh, authentic twist. If you want something uniquely sweet, the classic Sweet Donut (甜甜包) is a must-try, delivering the perfect balance of lightness and sweetness to complement your meal.

To elevate your dining experience, Uncle Henry offers an array of thoughtfully curated beverages including aromatic Jasmine Tea, refreshing Peach Sparkling Water, and rich, creamy Bubble Milk Tea. Their drinks menu provides just the right accompaniment to the bold flavors on your plate.

    This is the best and most authentic Hong Kong BBQ you will find in Denver. Everything you can get here tastes amazing. They serve food quick and hot. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Chinese food in Denver.

    A Chinese restaurant was found nearby. I bought a portion of roast duck and some roast suckling pig. The taste was very delicious and the business was booming! It's worth recommending!

    So delicious! I got the noodle soup with the bbq pork and duck. Absolutely awesome! Authentic and simple, well made, big portions, and absolutely awesome price. Totally craveable. The inside is pretty meh for a restaurant. They definitely care more about the food than the decor. It was clean and had plenty of seats, that's all I really care about. I'll definitely come back.

    Visited Uncle Henry on a busy Saturday morning, and even though there was a bit of a wait, the food was absolutely worth it. The roast pork was outstanding—crispy skin, tender meat, and incredibly flavorful. The char siu was also excellent; we ordered the fatty cut, which made it even tastier and more satisfying. Portions were generous. I also tried the shredded roast duck with pickled vegetables with rice vermicelli soup, and it was delicious. Good portion size, rich flavor, and very comforting. Honestly, the roast duck here was even better than a lot of restaurants I’ve had in Hong Kong. The place is clearly popular—people were dining in, ordering takeout, picking up delivery orders, and the phone never stopped ringing. The staff is hardworking and efficient despite the heavy rush. Overall, a very solid spot for roast meats. Definitely worth a visit.

    Uncle Henry’s is my go to Cantonese food closest to me. The quality of their seafood is chef’s kiss. It’s never fishy/muddy/sketchy tasting and supposedly they get it direct from a California supplier. Their salt and pepper shrimp or (capelin) small fish is exceptional and THAT fresh, which is very difficult in Colorado. The bbq roast meat has exceptional quality and consistency, and has never disappointed me. Despite having a smallish menu, their attention to detail and execution is excellent. It’s hard to get such an amazing Asian restaurant (especially in NW Denver). The quality and authenticity is California/big city East coast level of Cantonese food. That is why all the Asians who live in the area come here. (Pro tip: they can get pretty busy on the weekend from 5-7pm so be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes for your food. They are just a small family business so don’t have the bandwidth. They also try their very best not the compromise the quality of their food when it gets busy.) Things to try: BBQ roast pork belly, roast duck, seafood tofu pot, salt and pepper shrimp, salt and pepper capelin (small fish), bitter melon with black bean beef, Singaporean fried noodle, beef ho fun, water spinach with garlic, preserved vegetables with vermicelli noodles…

    More of take outs better then dining in. Very small place, they only give you paper plates and bowls if you dining in. But you come here for authentic Contones food for sure. Roasted duck, Crispy pork is just try ! They also cook large variety type of Contones home cooking meal. All authentic and delicious!

    Best Chinese food! Coming from NYC, I’ve been craving authentic flavors and this place exceeded my expectations, food is perfectly seasoned, portions are generous, and everything tastes so fresh. The eggplant with garlic, seafood hot pot (seafood and tofu stew), sesame chicken, roast duck, and BBQ pork were all outstanding. Service is warm and attentive, the food comes out fast, prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the restaurant is spotless with a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!!

    This is a walk up in a good part of town. There's tables out front and a cool comfortable setting inside. Bear in mind they're going to make everything from scratch and it's going to be outstanding. The portions are enormous so you get your money's worth and it could be your new go to take out or doordash spot. The food quality reminds me of Chinatown in San Francisco or downtown LA it's outstanding. And they have everything and it's all made fresh and it comes out hot and the sauces are amazing. It's rare to find a restaurant in the age of shrinking portions and Rising prices that puts out this kind of product for this kind of money. I recommend the pork ribs served with the sauce and a side of rice. It's a generous portion to be sure and could be split with two people. My wife had the combination rice which is better than the PF Chang's variety and a whole lot less money in about twice the portion size we wound up bringing an entire meal home and we spent $20 a person. This is a Hidden Gem Mom and Pop and should not be missed.
