Tam’s Cantonese Restaurant

«45 mins to an hour» for delivery turned into over 2 hours. And when the food did show up, the delivery driver was on the phone. Not only was the food cold, but also, half of it was missing. I had to drive back to the store myself to pick up the rest of the food. I spent $ 43 (including a $ 5 pre-​paid tip). Never again.

I tried Tam’s for the first time the other day and wasn’t impressed. Coming from the east coast, I was used to larger egg rolls than what Denver Chinese restaurants generally offer. So when I saw Tam’s giant egg rolls in their menu, I was thrilled, and hoped that I finally found a place that served the egg rolls I knew and loved. Unfortunately I was disappointed. I found the filling to be different than other egg roll fillings and the outside was a very crispy batter. Unfortunately it just wasn’t my thing. I may give them a second try and just pass on the egg rolls next time.

Usually the food is good when I have been there for lunch but went for dinner last night and the food was obviously warmed up and not fresh, spent $ 41 and it was not good, will not go back.

This place is okay. Took 55 minutes for delivery. lettuce wraps weren’t that good. Or the shrimp low mein… Probably won’t order from them again

Very delicIous Chinese and Thai food, friendly owner, their giant egg roll is a must try item! Pad Thai noodle was also delicious! My family will definitely eat at Tam’s again soon!

They work hard to accommodate your diet. We are vegetarian so they did very well! Great, quick and tasty! A great family spot for sure :)

One of my absolute favorite restaurants ever. Been eating here forever and the people are nice and the food is always amazing:

I ordered the Fried Rice from Tam’s. What it consisted of was plain white rice with some soy sauce poured into it. There was absolutely no other detectable ingredient in the rice. I would not have given such a poor review had I seen one piece of vegetable or a piece of fried egg mixed in. Only rice and soy sauce.

We ordered delivery from this place last week.
We got Mongolian Beef, Generals Taos Chicken, Wonton Soup and 2 of their giant egg rolls with meat.
While the delivery was fast, the food was not good.
The Mongolian beef was not spicy as advertised on the menu. The chicken tasted like the fryer it came out of. The egg rolls were different. They were huge and the little meat there was in them was masked by the half pound of cabbage in it.
The wonton soup was pretty much the only good thing that came.
I don’t foresee this place becoming my Chinese place but at least I know it’s here just in case I get an urge.

The reviews seemed spotty to me at first, but after finally trying Tam’s tonight, I am impressed with this first experience. Had to have the famous egg rolls, and they lived up to the hype… they are big, fresh, crispy and quite flavorful. Having grown up in New York, I have pretty high standards for Chinses take-​out, and I will give it to Tam’s, their egg rolls are better than most NYC egg rolls… although they didn’t have traditional duck sauce, they serve them with a house sauce that is pretty interesting and goes well with the egg roll.
Also had hot and sour soup, a steal for under two bucks, and nicely flavored. Wife and I split the Happy Family, chock full of fresh vegetables and plenty of chicken, pork, shrimp and beef.
The fried rice was also a standout– not at all greasy or oily, and with a very nice flavor and texture. More like real Chinese fried rice than typical Chinese-​American versions. Overall we greatly enjoyed our first take-​out experience, and look forward to trying more of the menu. Only reason not to give 5 stars, and this is selfish of me, but they don’t have the full gamut of what I think of as «classic» Chinese take out, like moo shu pork and BBQ spareribs. But for what they do, they seem to do it very well, very affordably priced, friendly and quick.

We had a completely different experience unfortunately. The delivery took well over an hour, and the food was not good at all. We ordered the giant egg rolls and pad thai. Yuck. Too bad, we had high hopes!

Have eaten at (or from) Tams for about 4 years. Always considered it the best we’d ever eaten, and then we had to suffer without for month after month while they were remodeling. For the first few months we didn’t know what was happening with their building. Thought maybe it was not even going to be a restaurant. Then, O Joy!, it was going to be Tam’s again! We eagerly awaited their reopening. First couple of times at the new place were good but different. But now, sadly, we have realized that something has changed besides the building. A new cook maybe? Or new recipes. The food is not the same… My favorite, ordered last night, the Kung Pao Chicken was first of all dry, not nearly enough liquid and worst of all full of jalapenos. Wife’s Cashew Chicken was also full of jalapenos (and also very dry). Jalapenos have not previously been the source of heat at this restaurant and somehow seem inappropriate. Will give them probably one more chance so that we can try our other favorite, the Green Curry w/​chicken. If that also has changed we will move on, regrettably.

Hands down the best food I’ve ever eaten!!! I. Can. Not. Get. Enough. Love Tam’s!!!
The service is awesome, they are always very kind and helpful. We order before we drive up and the food is always ready to go when we get there.
I cannot say enough good things!

We’ve been eating here for years! They have recently updated their location and it looks amazing. They always get our order spot on and the food is delicious. Their giant egg roll is a must try! Maybe not the healthiest for you, but very tasty!

As a former A — West student, I used to think having Tams so close was great for lunch. Unfortunately, by the time they got the order ready, my lunch period was already over and several times I had to leave before I even got my food… The really sad part is, I had a 45 min lunch, far more than enough time to throw some rice and orange chicken in a styrofoam container…
And their «egg rolls» are disgusting… egg rolls were not meant to be the size of burritos… greasy, disgusting burritos…

This is the ONLY Chinese delivery we call. The food is consistently good and fresh! I get the «happy family» and my fiancé gets the «sesame chicken.» Tams always throws in free wontons and egg drop soup in the order. It typically takes about 45 minutes for delivery (we are west of Standley Lake).

The Giant Egg Rolls deserve 5 stars. I got then twice in one week. My pic lists the ingredients. I’m not sure, but I think they use MSG because I crave them irrationally. However, on my second visit I added cashew chicken. It was really spicy hot and had a lot of celery as the main vegetable — no good.
I’ll try more items because you know I’m going back for egg rolls. Tams is just down the street from my church — yippee.

This is some of the best Chinese in srvada. Service is excellent and love the take out. Very hard working folks who strive hard to provide tasty food at decent prices. They offer the A-​one st students discounted prices. I am eaten at Imperial Gardens on Brosdway, this was far better

Food was horrible. Almost as if it wasn’t cooked thoroughly. I had sesame chicken and instead of feeling full I got a stomach ache! On top of it all I was given fried rice when I asked specifically for steamed rice. I called back to complain and the lady proceeded to argue with me about what I did or did not order. What a joke, I’m the customer you don’t argue with me over $ 2 rice! AVOID this place at all costs!

Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles and Curries, oh my.
Tam’s Cantonese Restaurant serves Chinese, Thai and Vietnames food to dine in or to go.
The dining room is very small, and it’s used more for standing around waiting on your to-​go order. Most of the regular customers call in and pick up, either through the drive thru or they walk in and are out within minutes.
I, on the other hand, walked in and ordered from the counter. Wow, they are quick and friendly.
They do boast having the largest egg roll in Denver, a meal in itself! You can choose from meat (chicken & pork), shrimp or vegetables (bean sprout, onion, cabbage, carrots and celery). Each of these baby’s weigh about 9 ounces. They also offer Vietnamese-​style egg rolls (wrapped in rice paper) and served with chili lime sauce.
I really enjoy the curry (panang, green or pineapple) and the Lo Mein noodle options.
There are so many options and combinations, the portions are large and bountiful, making the prices outstanding.
They are closed Sundays.
