Meet & Eat Bistro

This strip-mall spot on the Denver-Aurora city line offers a typical roster of Chinese dishes that appeal to the American palate: lo mein, fried rice, beef and broccoli and the like. They are all done well, but we recommend diners skip to the section of the menu labeled "Traditional Chinese Entrees," where they'll find more interesting — and flavorful — items like mapo tofu and Sichuan fish in hot chile oil, as well as specialties that make use of all of an animal's parts, from the pig's knuckle to its ear. (There’s even duck’s blood in a chile preparation.)
