If you’re craving authentic dumplings, this is a must-stop. Everything is made fresh to order, and it shows. We stumbled upon this spot on our way to the Denver airport, tucked into a strip mall just off I-70. Don’t let the location fool you! The second you walk in, the smell tells you you’re exactly where you should be. We all ordered the $20 lunch special, which includes one appetizer, one main, and soup. Our table mostly ordered the same combo: cucumber salad to start, the Specialty Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings, and soup…miso, hot and sour, and egg drop. The cucumber salad was crisp, refreshing, and addictive, especially with their house chili oil, which delivers the perfect level of heat (don’t skip it). The specialty soup dumplings came with one of each: Original, Szechuan, Cheese, Spinach, Mushroom, Corn, Prawn, and Crab Meat. Nearly all were excellent, my only miss was the cheese soup dumpling, which just didn’t hit like the rest. The soups were all comforting and flavorful, rounding out the meal perfectly. Only criticism is the egg drop needed a little of the chili oil. I wish they had this chili oil packaged for sale.If you’re passing through the area on I-70, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

My boyfriend and I started coming here in October, we come about 1-2 times a week, and have not had a bad experience. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the food is incredible. The soup dumplings are juicy and flavorful, the pork and chive dumplings are rich and tender. We always start with the cucumber salad, which is such a crisp and refreshing staple. Their miso soup is very flavorful, and when I get their fabulous lunch special the staff has no issue packing it up to go for me. The dessert buns are fluffy and sweet, and it has been hard for me to find red bean buns in this area. Theirs exceed expectations. We will definitely keep coming here!

Loved everything! The wait staff was nice and food came out in a timely manner. We had the lunch special with edamame, beef noodle soup and miso soup, also the stir fry garlic bok choy, kids option a, noodles with flank steak and the soup dumplings. The garlic bok choy was cooked beautifully not overcooked and soft. The miso soup was flavorful and the beef noodle soup was yummy not spicy but you can add chili oil. The dessert dumplings are almost too cute to eat. Would definitely recommend.
