The longest dining experience I’ve ever had. Did we mind? Absolutely not. It was also one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We went during a busy time and the food was seriously amazing. Just be prepared for an experience. I’m talking 2 - 3 hours if you go during peak time however that was a’okay considering it’s one man operating an incredible restaurant with delicious hand made noodles! And made to order! Our 4 year old handled it well and we had food most of the time during that period as well. Not pictured are the dumplings, Beijing Pork and egg rolls. We went for the noodles mainly, and left extremely happy. Will definitely be back!
This place is a gem and so is the person that handles this place! It is a one man show with incredible food! I’ve never had such amazing hand made noodles- possibly the freshest I’ve ever had! Yes you will have to wait a while to get your food as it’s just one person but trust me it’s worth it! You will leave with satisfied taste buds! He literally makes noodles based on orders, that’s how fresh it is.
They also have a variety of Asian drinks - my favourites were marble soda and coconut milk drink.
Absolutely amazing. We have been wanting to try Little Chengdu/Blue Ocean since we heard about it, and now I wish we didn't wait. We ordered to go over the phone (I had questions so didn't want to order online) and it took about 45 minutes, which we were expecting. It was a big order and everything was made from scratch. We ordered the dumplings, Lanzhou hand pulled noodles (which is a soup with a delicious broth), wonton soup in chili oil (which is not a soup but handmade wontons), sauteed hand pulled beef noodles, pork in garlic sauce, and szechuan beef. I can't pick a favorite as everything was awesome. I'd go back weekly if I could. I know the food can take awhile, but if you can order at less busy times or have the time to wait, it's 100% worth it. Also, the guy was helpful on the phone and pleasant at pickup.
I'm speech less! Yes, extremely rare! This one man operation & hand pulled, hand made noodle has managed to keep the dining room open! Word of encouragement, if you own any type of business. Close your doors for 3-4 hours and make a mandatory meeting at this place! I can't speak on the authenticity of the food, but on par with anything I've had. If your not patient or feel entitled to superior service, just stay away or go for a humbling experience. Don't mind the reviews!

This maybe the only place in greater Denver area that does Chinese hand pulled and hand sliced noodles.
Had stir fried hand sliced noodle with chilli oil and lanzhou noddle soup. Both were superb and highlighted the fresh made noodle textures. Ask for the fried noodle spicy. Soup was a light broth, unlike the usual heavy meaty beefy broth that can be over powering. But its heavy on cilantro in case you dont like cilantro.
Yes, he is a one man show, taking orders, pulling noodles, cooking. And he has togo app orders. Pretty amazing to see how he does it. It does take time, but he gets it done. So, dont come in a hurry. Think of a European dining experience, it’s not fast. For reference: There was 1 table before us, and some togo orders. Our noodles for 2 dinner took about an hour from arrival to leaving.
The people who left bad reviews. Are you here for food or service? Food is 5 star. Service is good, just slow, the guy is really nice. If you took time to leave bad reviews, i assume you took time to read them as well and know he is a one man show.
Come for the food, it fits in the slow food movement crowd, not the i want it now crowd. You wont be disappointed, oh and order from the Chinese menu 😉
I never write reviews but felt compelled to for this place. Blue Ocean isn’t about the frills, it’s all about the FOOD. And oh my goodness this was some of the tastiest food to grace my mouth. Keep in mind, there is only ONE chef who makes everything to order and from scratch. The server (who was very kind and helpful) told me the chef has been doing this for 25 years! You can literally see him making your noodles!! Sadly, this place is closing on the 31st, but I’m so hoping they will reopen somewhere else cause this was a special experience.
Love the Chinese noodles there, especially the hand pulled ones. So tasty and satisfying! Better than all noodles in Albuquerque. The owner has 10+ years experience in making the noodles. I enjoyed not only eating but also watching the process.
Wonderful meal. Excellent chef and wait staff. Waitress was very-friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We are visiting from Abq NM but will make sure to stop when we come to Denver. Must try. Wonderful Chinese menu. Tried the shredded pork with garlic sauce and homemade dumplings. My husband and mother loved the hand cut noodles. The egg drop soup was my favorite.
Wontons in chili oil (called wonton soup in hand-pulled menu) and green and white noodles were incredible. Sad this place is closing and I hope they open up in a new location.
Don't be confused by the low review score, just don't order off their Americanized menu. And the real name of this restaurant is Little Chengdu.
They have a full traditional 2nd menu which includes Szechuan specials that will blow your mind. If you order the Orange Chicken, it's your fault.
