    Best authentic Chinese food I've had anywhere in Denver, and at a good price. Try all of the live seafood options. Best wonton soup I've ever had as well.

    Dim sum only available for brunch/lunch. Lobster buy one get one free and amazing, fried flounder is super fresh and crispy, salted fish fried rice is so delicious, salt and pepper pork chops, etc

    Best Dim Sum in Denver area. Get there early on the weekend-10ish- if you don't want to wait. Parking fills up fast. Friendly staff. Super fresh. Inexpensive. A must. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    I'm a vegetarian. And I had 'options'! :) Can't beat that. Went there for lunch when they have the dimsums and they are fresh, hot and amazing!

    Excellent fresh and creative dim sum, including dishes with Malaysian and Taiwanese influence. Long waits on weekends and not enough parking

    Wonton soup was great. The lady liked salt and pepper pork chop. It's cut up and fried. Very tasty.

    Everyone talks about the dim sum and seafood... But the fried turnip cake is a true gem as well

    I notice everyone only talks about the dim sum...the rest of it; not worth it. But I still gave them a $10 tip though....stupid me.

    If you are a Chinese like me who wants some original zaocha, don't go to this place. Too Americanized.
