Reviews
The mark of a good soup dumplings is to have an flexible, thin and soft skin surrounding a generous amount of meat and savory soup. They nailed it.
I credit the middle aged Chinese chefs in the back. They are hard to come by and can’t be replaced easily.
Their chili crisp was a bit disappointing and lacked both heat and chilis.
The lo mein was passable but I wouldn’t order it again.
The tiny little pan fried dumplings were novel and tasty.
I will be a regular even with their short comings, still the best dumplings in town.
Wish we could have eaten outside without needing take out. A bit wasteful.
After ordering, you are greeted by a stunning oversized painted wall mural by Casey Kawaguchi and a little viewing window you can even peek right into the kitchen watch them make the dumplings fresh daily by hand, where they carefully weigh the ingredients to ensure they are just right each time and never burst.
The result is perfectly moist and spongy dumplings and buns including their super fluffy and tasty Signature Bao as well as the Pan Fried dumplings.
My favorite was the 6pc pork Xiao Long Bao, or soup dumplings which are eaten by carefully placing your spoon underneath to savor any soup that may spill out as you bite into them. They come out in a bamboo steamer and are sure to impress.
I fell in love with soup dumplings when I lived in NYC and frequented Joe’s Ginger both Chinatown and midtown. They are hard to find in Colorado outside of Aurora. I’ve also traveled throughout Asia including China, Japan and Thailand so I’ve been to authentic dumpling restaurants to compare.
Nana’s egg drop soup is a very generous portion and the perfect comfort food. I also went out on a limb and ordered something I’ve never tried before, the beef pancake roll which includes some lettuce and cucumber for a nice little crunch. Definitely something I’d order again for lunch especially as the weather gets warmer.
My friend ordered the Szechuan Chicken which has a bit of a kick for those who like it spicy. The portions were good and the meat never dry.
The boba milk tea comes in a sturdy, generous takeaway container and was perfectly cooked tapioca pearls and not too chewy like some other places can be. The waiter said they don’t use any artificial ingredients which I appreciate. They also have a few other flavors to choose from.
Rumor has it Nana’s is run in part by the same family (a brother of one of) the former Five Spice owners, which makes sense because I used to order the best Chinese from their 30th St. location probably twice a month at least (ok maybe once a week if I’m being honest).
I noticed they have another location in Denver on Tejon that even has honey chicken feet and truffle soup dumplings on the menu. I might have to make a special trip.
