East Moon

🥟 Nana’s Dim Sum & Dumplings

📍 125 Ken Pratt Blvd, Longmont

If you’re after dumplings, soup buns, and that dim sum cart energy — Nana’s is the clear fan favorite. Multiple locals said it’s “right up there” with dim sum they’ve had in bigger cities. It’s not your standard combo-plate joint, and yes, it’s a little pricier — but many say it’s worth saving for a special night out.

🍜 East Moon Asian Bistro

📍 2144 Main St, Longmont

This one quietly earned “hidden gem” status. People rave about the variety, consistent takeout, and even a gluten-friendly menu that can adapt a surprising number of dishes. If you’ve stopped looking after finding your spot, there’s a good chance it’s East Moon.

🌶️ Spicy House

📍 1030 S Hover St, Longmont

Crispy lovers, this one’s for you. Several locals swear that if you dine in (especially for fried dishes), it’s noticeably better than takeout — extra crispy, especially for Singapore noodles and classic favorites. It’s become a steady “current choice” for more than a few households.

🍚 China 88

📍 1810 Main St, Longmont

Consistent. Affordable. Big portions. China 88 keeps showing up in weekly lunch rotations. It may not claim “best ever,” but for dependable takeout that doesn’t wreck your wallet? It’s earned loyal fans.

🥢 Also in the Mix

• Sun Cafe – Divisive but still widely mentioned.

• Tasty Asia – Once a go-to for many; opinions vary these days.

• Hot Pot City – For those wanting the interactive hot pot experience.
  
  

And yes… someone did say Panda Express “hits the spot.” The most Longmont answer in the thread? Possibly.

The honest takeaway?

Longmont’s Chinese food scene might not be legendary — but if you know what you’re craving (dim sum, crispy classics, hot pot, budget lunch), there is a lane for you.
