I’d honestly have to say, I came here with very low expectations. But I’m glad I was proven wrong. It definitely is a different restaurant with the menu changing but I can honestly say, one of the BEST restaurants I’ve ever been to. Ive tried a michelin star restaurant for their buns, and these are way better. Im happy to hear this chef is receiving recognition for her work with the awards she is nominated for… I definitely will be coming back here and recommend to anyone who reads this…

Gourmet dim sum is so on the rise in Denver which makes it a great time to be alive as is the whole experience at Yuan – The restaurant is such an enjoyable, original layout with large, open-air environs, ample patio seating and a view of the kitchen where you can watch the lovely owner and head chef enjoying her craft in such a content manner that you can’t help but join her in the feeling. You can easily ignore the view to the kiddies’ excitement at the nearby playground or periodically watch through just a little foliage which punctuated this experience as bliss in community.
I actually give a 4.5 rating but round up to 5 given this delightful scene. Sorry but I’m a perfectionist when it comes to trendy, talented restaurants/bars.
I had the Chili Oil Wontons, Szechuan Eggplant Dumplings, sake, both cocktails and Mantou for dessert.
All was extremely fresh, thoughtfully presented and delectable, particularly the Chili Oil Wontons as the best tasting item, careful though, watch how much oil you use in each bite because the spice level can sneak up on you, lol. The menu is surprisingly small but made up for in quality. Are there really only 2 cocktails to choose from? At least that’s all I saw on the happy hour menu. If there’s anything I would ask it would be to expand their repertoire in that arena. Both are quality though.
The service ranges from professional to personable depending on your liking but it is absolutely top of the line here!! Everyone is so keyed-in to providing a memorable experience and with everything else I already described, life is beautiful here.

Yuan Wonton is, without question, one of the best restaurants I’ve experienced in Denver. From start to finish, the food was world-class—perfectly executed dishes bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding; staff were so attentive that my cup of sake was never allowed to run empty. Every detail of the evening felt deliberate and refined, making the whole operation feel Michelin star–caliber. An absolute must-visit for anyone who loves exceptional dining.

Whaaaaaat is happening here? POW Zap Yum! The flavors and delicate blend of spice is absolute perfection. They know what they are doing for sure.
Service was refreshing to have someone who actually seemed like they wanted to be there and have a convo about the food.
Everything was bright out on small sharable plates as soon as they were ready and the flow was spot on for conversation at the table.
Daytime restaurant but they ole once a month for a dinner.
The vibe is lively with fresh air, natural light and the space is full but in a good way.
Every bite of every dish – ten stars and I can’t wait to come back and try another group of four things! We were too full to try anything else but we did eat every morsel of every dish.
Oh, and. please don’t ever take that ube cream brûlée off the menu. Best dessert I’ve had in forever!!!

Weird hours can still be happy. Snuck in and tucked in the corner table at 5:05p (closes at 6p) on a Friday for the Happy Hour Menu and the four us were able to order most of the small menu to try most everything. Thai Yam Salad, Mussels and the signature won tons were all hits and the desserts are always a rotating surprise. Good stuff, excellent vibes, very kind staff

My friend & I have been dying to try this place & it did not disappoint! We got several things off the menu to split – I can’t pick a favorite because every dish was phenomenal. It was elegant yet comforting, PACKED with flavor, and made with love (I could tell). Thank you Yuan Wonton for such a beautiful meal, we will be back!

Found this place on eater Denver and boy am I glad we did. Came here for lunch on a Wednesday and sat at the bar area that has a view of the kitchen. Our server was great and offered up some suggestions piping greeting us. We basically ordered what she said and were not disappointed.
The pork bao was my hands down favorite. The crispy bottom. The fluffy bao. The flavorful inside. Seriously perfection.
We also had the vegetarian version that was almost just as good.
The potstickers available today were super unique. I loved the crispy piece that came on top. The dipping sauce smelled amazing and tasted just as good. The potstickers themselves were perfectly cooked.
Of course we also tried OG wontons. Surprisingly my least favorite but the bar was high. They were still so good.
Absolutely adored this place. A must go.

Everything we ordered was superb! Not a single bad bite throughout our meal. Some dumpling spots in Denver are completely overpriced and overhyped but that couldn’t be farther from the case here. Definitely check it out and enjoy!!

Wow this food was amazing! Took us awhile to find the time with their limited hours but it was worth the wait. The chili oil wontons and eggplant dumplings were the best but everything we ordered was great.

Haven’t been to a restaurant this good and authentic in a while. We didn’t have a reservation so we had to wait a while, but man was it worth it. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is great. Today, they had a Chifa night (Peruvian fusion) and it tasted like back home. The fish was extremely fresh, and all of the spices used were out of this world. Mostly everything had a vegetation option which was great to share with the wife. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try something different and extremely flavorful.
