Let me preface this review. I grew up partially in Taiwan and thus have a very high standard for dumplings, buns, and noodle soups.
The good:
There were definitely some fun vibes here. I loved the modern Chinese decor and some interesting fusion takes on the food/drink menus. The cocktails looked delicious, although I didn’t try them this time. The workers here also seemed really friendly and nice. The food standouts for me were the char siu bao and spicy Peking duck noodle soup. I thought the char siu bao had a really nice fluffy bun and a rich, sweet-and-savory meat filling. Yummy! The spicy Peking duck noodle soup was overall ok, but the duck itself was so delicious!! It was perfectly tender—very well cooked and seasoned. I could’ve had an entire plate of that duck! The xiao long baos were nice and juicy.
The not as good:
I felt that the flavors here tended to feel a bit overpowering. The pork xiao long baos and the char siu bao dipping sauce both had an oddly sweet taste to them. The kobe beef dumplings were a bit too salty and just had too many other flavors going on at once. In addition, the dumpling skins felt a bit too thick/chewy and the texture of the spicy Peking duck soup noodles just felt off. Also, the prices here definitely run on the high end for what you get.
Overall my experience here was ok. I probably wouldn’t come back for the food alone, but I’d come back for the nice vibes and to try their cocktails.

Food? Tasty. The bao buns were mostly bun. The shrimp were great. There’s another comment that mentions they were good about food allergies which was true in my experience.
Price? Outrageous… Just silly Here’s two apps and a beer, total with tip was $65. I mean… with so many great places to eat on Tennyson for half of this… what are we doing here? Seriously
Service? I sat at the bar and had full service. Alex was great. I’d feel robbed if I had to order at a counter for what I paid.

I’m not sure it’s possible for a dumpling to be better than the kobe beef dumplings here. Tina said it was her favorite so I tried them and almost shed a tear. Yeah the fact that this place only have 4.1 instead of like 4.9 baffles me. There was old school R&B playing too and the art work inside! this place is perfect

The food came out so quick and the cheese rangoons were to die for. I will definitely be returning in the near future! The pork buns were delicious and perfectly filling. Ally was 10/10. Such a kind and thoughtful server.

Been here twice now since it opened this month. Enjoyed it both times, for dinner and for the Lucky Cat lunch special. The food is delicious and healthy, the portions are great, and I haven’t had a bad bite yet. The Brussels and Shishitos dim sum lived rent free in my mind right now. Also really enjoyed all the delicious mushrooms in the Drunken Empress noodles. Very happy with this addition to my local scene, and I’ll be coming back to try new things!

Awesome late night vibes and that noodle bowl was even better than it looks. Lots of fresh herbs and punchy sauces, actually reminds me of night market food in Asia. Shout-out to Aly and Gavin for super friendly service and I will definitely return here for more late night adventures. Also the decor is awesome, I love the Chinese Pepsi neon sign 🙂

We like bold flavors. We like dim sum. We were not disappointed. We tend to stay away from bao just because I find it very bready, but there are plenty of dumplings here with tons of great flavors. After we asked for suggestions the cashier, very knowledgeable about the menu, suggested trying Roujiamo. He says no one knows what it is. The Duck Roujiamo was excellent. The bread was roti or a very close cousin. Soup dumplings were great. We did not have a bad dish. We went on a Tuesday night and there was some kind of special, so not hugely expensive. If you are looking for great flavors, go now!

Great spot we love the downtown location. The smash burger is insane must order very unique . The dumplings are some of the best over ever had. Soup dumplings is Unreal, like you can’t stop eating them. Sexy bar and drinks that actually taste like someone cared. Chill spot, great food, awesome vibe.

So so good! All of the food was so high quality, well seasoned, and delicious, even down to the salad. Some of the best fried rice we’ve found in Denver. Drinks were also super creative and yummy. I can’t wait to go back!
