Absolutely delish! We loved going to the Chopstickers in Fort Collins, now that there is one near me I am so happy. The owner Lily is so kind and sweet, and provides the greatest service. We got the soup dumplings, pork fried dumplings, and some fried rice and egg drop soup. It was all super flavorful and fantastic. We will definitely be back!

Just found out about this new dumpling place in Lakewood on Union! Ate dinner one night and really had a great time. Cute location and nice service. Especially good was Beef Noodle Soup and Pot Stickers! Soup dumplings had generous amount of soup in them which is always good! Will absolutely come again!

Love their noodles, I ordered Dandan noodle and beef soup noodle. It’s has a very authentic flavor. I also try the Bao. I love that the outside is crunchy and the inside is fully filled with meat. It’s very tasty. I will definitely come back again!

So excited to have this amazing place close by! I am normally not a big soup person, but I’ve eaten here three times in the last couple of weeks because I cannot get enough. My best friend is vegan and it’s hard for us to find places that have more than a salad or fries for her and this place has plenty of yummy vegan options too. We’ve tried all kinds of dishes and all of them were delicious, but don’t miss out on the soup!

Don’t sleep on this one. The pork belly buns are amazing. Good mix of veggie and the meat is amazing. The steamed bun is soft but not soggy. The sauce has a bit of sweetness that is great. The water fried bao. I can’t say enough about these. The dough has a nice amount of salt, the pork meatball inside is seasoned super well. The bottoms are crisp without being burnt or overdone. My only issue is that it took a bit to get my food, but I also understand that I came in immediately after opening and they probably weren’t quite ready. That’s on me. It all tastes fresh made. And it’s just delicious.

We stay across the street from here frequently when visiting Denver, and I'm so glad this place has opened up because the food options have been a bit limited around here. The hostess was lovely, and she answered all my questions and chatted with me about the dishes. I will be back during our stay here! I tried the pork belly buns and the soup dumplings. Both were tasty! The chili oil here is very good, and I'll be back to try to dandan noodles! Update: I returned for the dandan noodles and they were great!
