As I was growing up, my main experiences of Chinese food came from Columbine Gardens, a Chinese restaurant in unincorporated Jefferson County (an area also known as Littleton). The food was always pretty good, but when I got old enough to go restaurants without my parents I discovered that there was actually better Chinese food out there. Then, a couple of years ago, the ownership changed, and now I would definitely say that the food at Columbine Gardens is NOT the best Chinese food around. The egg rolls are often more cabbage than anything else, and likewise with the other dishes: the quality has definitely suffered, even though it still all tastes decent.

My family regularly visits Columbine Gardens for dinner. We usually get their take-out, but when we have time we like to dine-in. Their service is excellent! The food is always ready within about 10-15 minutes and it's always piping hot! My children love to go inside for dine-in service because they have two huge fish tanks filled will tropical fish lobsters (or maybe they're crab!). My son is always intrigued by the fish and the staff is very patient with him when he knocks on the glass. It's worth it to us to drive 20 minutes to Columbine Gardens because we know we'll get great food and service for a reasonable price.
