“ We ordered a couple items from their menu. Dan Dan noodles Combination xiao long bao Lotus leaf wrap stick rice Osmanthus black tea with almond pudding The Dan Dan noodles flavor tasted really good however, there wasn't enough sauce for the noodles so it was a bit dry. The combo xiao long bao came with 8 pieces with 4 different flavors. 2 pork spicy, 2 pork, 2 chicken, and 2 beef with cumin. That was said in the order of favorite to least favorite. The beef with cumin taste was really strong. I didn't like it at all. I had also asked if I could get slices of ginger to pair with my xiao long bao cuz it tastes really good with it. The chef came out and asked what it was I needed with I clarified was ginger and she said they don't have any. At first I was understanding because sometimes, they don't carry specific items. However, tell me why they had literally 2 boxes of fresh ginger near the back of the store???? Very interesting indeed. The sticky rice tasted really good. It had nice flavors and a decent amount of meat and vegetables inside. Xiao long bao = soup dumplings ”
“ I stopped in this little, unassuming shop while shopping because I heard they had soup dumplings. Soup dumplings are still somewhat rare in the Denver area, and having this one further north was a treat. The inside is quaint, a few seats in the back and some seats by the window (where I sat) Staff was very friendly, menu was easy to read and they also have a kiosk you can order from. I loved the variety, and ordered chicken soupy dumplings, edamame, and bubble tea. Tea was good, I loved the heart jellies! Lots of cute add-ins for the drinks. Edamame was a tasty starter and the soup dumplings were, in fact, delicious. My only gripe would be that they are a little small for the price (about $2 per dumpling) Overall, this is exactly the kind of business this area needs and I'll certainly be around again when my soup dumpling cravings hit. ”
“ I love this little shop in Westminster. No frills, just good food and friendly service. Our order consisted of: pork bbq buns, soup dumplings, cucumber wood ear salad, and a High Mountain tea. I was excited to try their soup dumplings, as those are hard to get right and I have yet to be satisfied with other restaurants in the Denver area. We got the colorful soup dumplings which consisted of 8 dumplings, 4 flavors: pork, spicy pork, cumin beef, and chicken. They were tasty and loaded with soup! The pork bbq buns were good, not exceptionally better than other places, but we devoured them quickly and happily. The tea was so good. Crisp with that strong tea taste. I'm glad they hold this style of authentic tea. The cucumber wood ear salad was probably the only disappointing dish. It was mainly cucumber (little wood ear mushroom) and there wasn't really any added flavor or sauce. I was expecting something more marinated with soy sauce/sesame oil/garlic/spice. When I'm in the area, I'll definitely be back as there are other dishes I want to try! ”
“ I stopped here tonight since it is close to home. The guy at the cash register was very courteous, offering to answer any questions I had. I ended up ordering the beef noodle soup with egg and pork dumpling soup with noodles, to go. I waited about 20 minutes and my order was ready. They seemed busy, but mostly "to go" orders being placed and picked up. This restaurant is narrow, so most of the seating is towards the back of the restaurant. Some tall bar stools in the front up against a counter. Very limited seating for groups. Came home with my two orders. Very hot, freshly prepared. My beef noodle soup was mostly noodle, but the beef was good, veggies good. Broth was flavorful, especially fennel. The dumplings were good but, again, so many noodles. About $15/person, and very large portions. Delivery available through Door Dash. Feels good to support a local restaurant. ”
“ We stopped by today with a groupon and had 3 boba drinks that were awesome. We hadn't been in before so the woman working the counter took time to walk us through some of the options. I wish they had had pictures of each drink with ingredients at the store (she did say their "kiosk" was broken so perhaps when that is working it does have more detail but she kindly walked us through everything. We ordered a Cloud Coffee (Espresso, sweetened milk and I added Almond Pudding). This was my favorite. You can also determine what "sweetness level" you want. I got the sweetest and it was GREAT! We ordered a Thai Tea and this came with Boba and I put Egg Custard in it. It was good but even though I ordered the sweetest level, it still could have used a little more. I also got it with Half and Half. The last drink was a Crazy Bear Coffee with Almond Pudding. The Almond pudding gave a nice addition to the texture and flavor. This drink came with Handmade Brown Sugar, Espresso, and milk. When I get this one again I will order with half and half for a creamier drink but it was awesome as is. We did order steamed chicken dumplings to take home and they were ok. If we order those again I will go with Pork and Fried. The chicken was ok but nothing exciting. 5/5 for the drinks and a 3/5 for the Dumplings. See you next time! ”
“ Soup dumplings here might be the best in Denver. You get 8 pieces and can choose meat options not limited to pork. They also have milk tea options with fresh made loose tea. ”
“ Recommended for catering order. Kiki handled our order and made suggestions for dishes. Cucumber and wood ear mushroom salad; spicy Dan Dan noodles; veggie, pork and chicken egg rolls, sweet bao buns - taro and egg custard; Lotus leaf chicken sticky rice and beef pies. They provided a discount for our bulk order. And they delivered to our location which was the best! Included serving tongs and condiments. The homemade chili sauce was delicious and spicy. Napkins and some boba drinks rounded the order up. The boba drinks were tasty and cold. I drank mine up right away. The lotus leaf chicken sticky rice was my favorite. Soft and tender. A little small in portion size so I had grabbed two. The veggie egg roll was good. I could have eaten four myself. The filling of the taro sweet bao bun was not overly sweet and smooth in texture. Nice flavor. The egg custard sweet bao bun was also good. There was a good spice to the Dan Dan noodles. A little oily for me but filling. Everyone ate the food up in an hour. Not much leftovers meant the food was good. And feedback was good. Would recommend. Kiki is friendly and personable. ”
“ I stopped at Happy Dumpling to pick up a quick bite. This is a small shop with some bar seating and a few small tables. This place is clean and the staff is friendly. My order was whipping up very quickly. As I waiting near the register I noticed they have a lot of bottle drink options as well as desserts. I'm interested in coming back to try their Matcha Mont Blanc. What I ordered: Mongolian Beef Boa buns and Teriyaki Chicken Bao Buns- steamed and delicious. The breading was moist. The filling was ample and well seasoned, I could clearly taste ginger in their sauce and it was so good. Peach oolong tea (unsweetened)- Mellow and refreshing, the peach was lovely flavor. Dagona coffee- I love the taste of coffee and this drink was well-balanced. Roasted Dalgona coffee flavor blended with milk, just enough coffee without being bitter i this was a creamy delight. If you like coffee, I recommend this drink. Creamy Mango Milk Tea- I ordered this for my husband to bring to work and he said it was great! I'll be returning to order one for myself in the future. ”
“ If I was just rating the food, I would give a 5 star review. Since we actually sat down and ate, I would give it a 4 star review. They do have the soupiest and best tasting Co Soupy Dumpling 8 Pieces. We tried the cumin beef and will definitely be back for more. The Lotus Leaf Wrap Stick Rice was good, Pan Fried Pork Buns had a nice fried skirt on it, and the shrimp dumplings were good. The garlicky bok choy was so good. The pork sui mai was underwhelming. The method of serving was definitely not meant for dining in service. I get that it is a small place, but serving in the resturant on to go lids and to go containers is tacky. Also lesson learned from the first time, the electronic menu has more options than ordering at the counter which is also annoying. I'm tipping based on start to finish service not half computer and self service. ”
