I’ve lived in Colorado Springs for 22 years and have seen restaurants come and go. A few I was sad to see close. Others were open such a short time it was obvious the owners didn’t plan for enough money to stay afloat until they were solvent. Or maybe they just didn’t have good food or service.
One of my favorite places for Chinese food is Tsingtao House at the corner of Woodmen and Rangewood, just east of the King Soopers. I used to have another favorite Chinese restaurant but when new owners took over I didn’t like the food anymore. Then I found Tsingtao House. I have to go a few extra miles to get there, but it is worth it. It’s a great value. They have a varied menu and the food is consistently good. They have a great lunch and dinner special that includes soup, crab wonton, eggroll, and hot tea. Give it a try! It’s great when we can keep local restaurants open. And watch for more favorites in the future. What is your favorite Pikes Peak Region restaurant?
