$1.50 A Scoop & Up

Not the best «Chinese» food, by far, but for a «Chinese» greasy spoon it is awesome! I eat there about once a week, and I have to admit that even though I am usually a stickler for authentic foods, this is one of those little dives that you should indulge in every once in awhile. The food is tasty, the portions generous, and the price plenty fair. I have to say, I am glad they are here, and I hope they stay!

This place is soooo bad!!! Old nasty «food» with rude pushy employees! I will NEVER go back!!!

Most of the reviews here are about two or more years old so let me give something recent.
When I went here I had super low expectations because of the name. It didn’t seem appetizing? Also the fact that it was an old Dunkin Donuts was pretty strange. I didn’t know «scoop» restaurants were a thing. But the food was actually pretty good! The coconut shrimp was very enjoyable. The girl who waited on us was very kind and sweet. So maybe all those rude people left the store. :)

It’s okay as a Chinese scoop place. It’s not the best, but when I was in college I use to go to places like this alot for the cheap food that was better than what was served in college cafeterias.

I used to love buck-​a-​scoop places. when I lived around Denver. But, this place, terrible. I don’t expect amazing food from a place that has $ 1.50 in the name. I would bet that $ 1.50 and Wonderful Inn are co-​owned. Both places seem to have the exact same food, but at least at $ 1.50 it is cheaper by far!

I frequent this business once a week (not the healthiest place but it is delicious!). The staff is and has always been super friendly since day one. They actually have spicy dishes which is pretty hard to find around here. You can also request for more chili oil if you would like. The portions are HUGE and the food is always hot and fresh. Also very cheap. If they are towards the bottom of a pan they will ask you to wait and they whip up some more real quick so you don’t have to have the last of it. Actually I think I will head down there now. :) mmmmmm

Mediocrity, thy name is $ 1.50 A Scoop & Up. Over the holidays, I came back to Greeley to visit family and was stoked to learn that they had opened a fast food Chinese restaurant other than Panda Express. Living in California for the past 8 years, I’ve experienced my fair share of these type of joints… some good, and some not so good. This place definitely falls under the ‘not so good’ category.
My sister pre-​warned me that the staff was rude, and she wasn’t mistaken. I wouldn’t simply chalk it up to «language barrier,» though. These people rush you along as you order, and actually act inconvenienced that you’re patronizing their establishment. Aside from that, I found their food lukewarm and not-​so-​fresh. As the other reviewer mentioned, it simply tasted «old.» Their hibachi chicken was actually pretty tasty, but their spicy chicken was oddly breaded and WAY too spicy. I also ordered shrimp and chicken, and it was quite honestly the strangest dish I had ever encountered at a Chinese restaurant. It was almost as though they had old shrimp from one dish, old chicken from another dish, and combined them with a few random, overcooked vegetables to try to salvage them and peddle them to customers. I managed to choke down a little bit of it, but even my sister’s dog refused to touch the leftovers.
I’d highly recommend Wonderful Inn in the parking lot across the street, or Canton Garden if you’re across town. Anywhere but this place. Their rude service, questionable food, and ridiculous parking lot will not warrant a second visit.
