Where to eat Chinese food in Thornton.

Chinese Palace identifies its branch as Northglenn, at 11970 Washington St. Its operator-linked menu separates Cantonese Dim Sum from Palace Dim Sum pastries, baked buns, congee and rice noodles. The Cantonese section has pork, spicy pork and beef soup dumplings, crystal shrimp dumplings and shrimp-and-pork shu mai; this is the explicitly neighboring dim sum stop in the Thornton guide.
