Quaint but tidy strip mall spot Surprisingly authentic Chinese spot Very friendly staff and excellent dumpling and noodle dishes Braised beef and tan tan noodles were excellent Pork dumplings in chili oil are equally good Cartoon dessert dumplings are a hoot! You can watch them making the dumplings so there is no fear that your getting something premade Staff seems to enjoy being a craft style spot If you like dumplings and hate driving to Federal. This might be a new spot for you read more

Dumpling Bay was a great place for soup dumplings and authentic Chinese food. The restaurant is clean, bright, and the staff were friendly. The service was quick as well. The menu has a nice variety of dumplings, noodles, and traditional chinese dishes. My favorite dish was the angus beef with broccoli. The beef was great quality and so yummy. The soup dumplings were hot and delicious with a flavorful broth inside. The green beans were tender but still had a crunch. The pork dumplings in chili oil were flavorful. The stir fried noodles with pork belly were decent as well. The only dish that was disappointing was the shrimp shumai. It was so bland and small. The cartoon buns were filled with egg custard and were delish. read more

Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming! The restaurant is very clean and the food is delicious!! We ordered: Edamame Original soup dumplings Pan fried chicken & cabbage dumplings Stir-fried chicken & noodles Jasmine tea Next time I would order steamed dumplings instead of pan fried, but that's just preference. One thing I noticed is that even though all of the food seemed to be cooked fresh, it wasn't very warm when served. The soup dumplings were quite steamy on the outside when they arrived, but nearly room temperature when biting into them (fully cooked on the inside - I want to be clear that nothing we were served was undercooked or raw). Same with the pan-fried dumplings and the stir-fried noodles, all room temperature. I don't know if this cooler temperature is a more traditional preparation, but I would have preferred everything served quite a bit warmer. read more

Decided to try this place after a few of my Taiwanese friends recommended this place. Had high hopes as I am Taiwanese and have been looking for decent food in Colorado. Welcoming in the beginning. Seated promptly. Fairly busy, which I thought was a good sign. Nice environment and fairly clean. Ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and the Specialty XLB (forgot to take a picture because I was so upset). After about 15-20 minutes, no update in our food. However, a couple seated next to us who came later and ordered later got their food first, and not only got their food first, it was the same XLB I ordered. I was furious, and still am writing this review. And no one noticed until I had to ask the waiters where's my food. And there was no apology at all! Eventually the food came. First impressions: beef noodle soup looks authentic and tasty. It was in a big bowl but no big spoon with it. Also The specialty XLB unfortunately, multiple of them had broken and the soup leaked. There was no dipping plate, no ginger with the XLB. There was no clarification about which color is which flavor. The ordering system is also poorly organized. I noticed the waiter/waitress looked at the printed receipt multiple times at multiple tables. Maybe that's why our food was late, or maybe that's how the other couple got the XLB I also ordered. I believe they need to get a better ordering system, otherwise, they will get more unhappy customers like me. Overall, a promising restaurant but didn't meet my expectation. Sadly disappointed. I would only go back if they made things right, as the food was not terrible. read more

We found this place while I was pregnant, which was a blessing and a curse because I have been back every Friday since. The food is simple and delicious. They run with a light staff, but the service is friendly and welcoming. As mentioned, we bring our baby in his car seat and they always accommodate us. We have our go to's (xiao long bao and green beans with pork) but try to have something new each time. We just tried the stir fried noodles with chicken and were pleasantly surprised to learn the noodles are made in house. We have never had a bad meal here. Cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Located in a shopping mall, there is plenty of parking spaces. We went here on a Saturday afternoon after hoping of passing the lunch rush, but it was still pretty busy. That shows it's popularity given different hours. We were promptly greeted upon entering and they take down your name and number so that you're in the queue for seating. We ordered a few different dishes to try as it's not often we are in Golden. Dishes included the chicken and broccoli, salt and pepper chicken, XLB, and spicy dumplings. Each were good to try, but I would skip them all next time and just focus on their XLB. Perfect thickness of the wrapper, juicy soup, and meat that was tender and tasty. Would definitely recommend this place for their XLB! read more

Food was okay. Didn't care for the dumplings. Service was good. Friendly atmosphere..................................

Yum Yum Yum! This had been on my list for a while, and went here for a Friday date night. Hubby and I got the mushroom salad, egg drop soup, Specialty Xiao Long Bao 彩虹小笼包 (beautiful display of 1 of each of the following - Original, Szechuan, Cheese, Spinach, Mushroom, Corn, Prawn, Crab Meat), and the pork and cabbage. I wasn't a huge fan of either of our apps - the mushroom salad was very unique, I just couldn't get past the texture of the shrooms! However, the dumplings were where it is AT (makes sense, this place is called Dumpling Bay). The pork and cabbage dumplings were phenomenal, would go back just for those. Their house chili oil was also bomb and mixed that with some soy sauce - chef's kiss. Service was very quick, attentive and friendly - would definitely go back here! read more

My friend and I stopped by Dumpling Bay for dinner. When we arrived, the place was somewhat busy. Despite this, we had no issues getting seated. Service was fast and attentive. The wait for our food was also very reasonable. As for the food, it was fantastic! Dumpling Bay probably has the best dumplings in the Denver area. Everything was tender and moist. Everything was packed with flavor. Nothing was overcooked. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dumpling Bay if you're looking for top-notch dumplings and Chinese food. read more

A friend had heard how good this place was from family who had lunched as near their place of work. She offered me the adventure of lunch out of town (as I can no longer drive) and we both love Chinese food. We arrived for a late lunch as she had an earlier commitment that mornin and the restaurant is about 45 minutes south of my house. It's located in a strip mall attached to a large supermarket. There was plenty of free parking. It's very new, open only a few months and clearly a new, bright and sleek interior. The kitchen is visually open but behind glass walls so no smoke or tree cooking smells mars the dining area. It's a vast menu, probably a good idea to read through it online to see the scope as well as details. I missed a few ingredient details which would have allowed me to customize my wood ear mushroom salad with less garlic. My lunch friend tried it and was not concerned because she is much better with chopped raw garlic. That being said there was still much to like, a very ample serving, beautiful mushrooms, nice crispy chewy texture. Since I wanted to sample so many items, I saved the bulk of the dish to bring home to share and then removed most of the garlic. I liked it even better that way. I also ordered braised beef noodle soup. The serving was immense so I had lots of leftover to share. It's the best version I have had in years, the brisket tender in substantial chunks, beautiful and ample baby bok choy, nice tender noodles, and flavorful broth. Enough to bring home a full takeout container. I also got a sampling of dim sum items and all were better than mostly all available to me in Boulder. The BBQ pork bun was traditional , softly steamed and fluffy, as was the red bean paste bun. The shrimp shumai were also steamed hot and tender. Even eating far. Less than half of what I ordered, I left stuffed. The staff were attentive friendly and helpful in preparing my planned leftovers to take back to Boulder. I do wish I lived a lot closer. read more

Wood ear mushroom salad was great. This was my first time having wood ears, and I was pleasantly surprised - they've got a freshness to them. Chicken fried dumplings were outstanding. The dumplings themselves are pretty standard, but the tables have some soy sauce and vinegar, so I mixed those up and it made a delicious sauce. I guess my only complaint is that I wish there was an 8pc option, because the 6pc went pretty quickly, but I don't want to pay for a 12pc either. Food came within minutes, which was surprising because there were a good 20 customers, but only 2 chefs and 2 waitresses. Looks like this place is new - show them some support! read more

Loooove a dumpling shop, especially when it's close to home and has a bunch of other delicious things! Wood ear mushroom salad is one of my favs and hard to find, it was perfect. The noodle soup had so much flavor, highly recommend. The dumplings were both delicious and we'll definitely be back to try more. The stand out dishes for us were actually not the dumplings but the other dishes we got, can't wait to try the chilled tofu and a some more noodle dishes. read more

Middle of a strip mall, a couple doors down from the King Soopers Supermarket. Not very big, had maybe a dozen or so booths and tables. It's bright and clean, service is friendly enough. The Original Xiao Long Bao and the Shrimp Shumai are the best, so juicy and tasty. The Pork & Cabbage Dumpling was not bad either. Seems like their dumplings are all good. Definitely get those here. However, the Cucumber Salad was and Stir-Fried Green Beans are just okay. I wouldn't get those here. Other Chinese restaurants make it way better. The cucumbers were in differing sizes, some in small bits. The green beans were dry and overcooked. read more

My next and longer review for Dumpling Bay in Golden. ~~~~~~~ As I looked at the "Legend of Chinese Cuisine"underneath the sign of the restaurant, I was wondering what it meant. (More on this later.) The people I am meeting today are there, talking and looking over the paper menu placed on our table. The group decided to get the specialty xiao long bao--8 regional flavors: 8 different colors, 8 different fillings. As I ponder what else to get, the conversation shifted to the folks behind the counter: rolling out fresh dough, adding the meat mixture, and making them into dumplings. What a wonderful sight! We knew we are in for some freshly made dumplings, which made us very happy. Our specialty xiao long bao arrived. These colorful dumplings looked beautiful. Luckily for us, our colorful menu displayed the 8 options, so we knew exactly what we are to eat. Because we were sharing, I tried the spinach, crab meat, and mushroom. All 3 were delicious. I would like to try the rest of these soup dumplings. Next came our buns. I ordered the taro buns, while my fellow diner ordered the red beans and cartoon buns. Each order came with two buns. The buns were fluffy, chewy, and filled with some sweetness inside. I wasn't expecting mine to taste sweet, so I wasn't ready to eat the other one. Next were the cheese wontons and soups: egg drop and hot & sour. I did have a spoonful of the hot & sour soup, but without the crunchy noodles, I thought it was just so-so. However, the person who ordered it said it was good. Next, we were treated with 2 bowls of noodle with scallion oil. Wow! My mouth was exploded with the flavorful liquid from the scallion oil top with bokchoy, dry onion, and homemade noodle. This was one of my favorite dishes from Dumpling Bay. Other dishes we tried were (1) pork & cabbage dumplings, (2) original xiao long bao, (3) pork & cabbage dumpling in chili oil, (4) pork belly buns, (5) mapo tofu w/pork, and (6) stir-fried green beans & ground pork w/garlic. I was way too full and couldn't fully enjoyed #5 and #6, so it wouldn't be fair for me to write my review on these items. Everything else was so good! Out of the items listed, my favorite was the pork belly buns. Another explosion in my mouth! The smooth and softness of the bun, wrapped around the pork belly, the shredded lettuce, and the sauce. The meat and the sauce were the stars for this dish. What an amazing dish. A dish that gave me joy eating it. So good! Because there are not a lot of options on their menu for their drink choices, I skipped this. However, after contacting the restaurant on drink options, I was told they will add more on their menu. Dumpling Bay just opened the middle of May and already has positive reviews, and one of them is mine. I hope you stop by this newly opened restaurant and give them a try. You will enjoy their freshly made dumplings and soup dumplings. If dumplings are not your to-go cuisine, try other dishes from the menu. I believe after giving them a try, you will be a regular, visiting this restaurant again and again. Here's what printed on their menu about the Legend of Chinese Cuisine. "Our roots run deep in China, where my parents have operated a beloved dumpling and noodle restaurant for decades. Their shop, known in their hometown for handcrafted flavors, has nourished generations of locals who grew up on our family's recipe. Now, we're proud to bring that same tradition -- the legend of Chinese cuisine -- to our new home in Colorado." They have indeed. read more

Came here on a weekday before their lunch rush. We ordered their combinations XLB, pork and chive dumpling, and chicken fried rice to share. pork and chive dumplings are good, but nothing rave about. Honestly, really couldn't tell the difference in flavors of all the different XLB's. Chicken fried rice was a little too sweet. Service was OK but when they got busy, it was a little hurt to flag them down. Brownie points for having a changing station in their bathroom. Overall 3.8/5 read more

The food here is super delicious and very fresh! Our family of three ordered 5 dishes and loved them so much that when we finished those, we ordered 3 more! The best Chinese food we've ever had! The service was outstanding, very quick, and friendly. Even though the restaurant was busy and there was only one waitress (wife?), she checked back on us often and was very helpful. Even the cook (husband?) came by several times to ask us if we needed anything else and to thank us for our business. The restaurant was immaculately clean and uncluttered. We could tell that they take great pride in their restaurant. We highly recommend Dumpling Bay. read more

Amazing dumplings! Would highly recommend. The atmosphere was modest and we really enjoyed the soup dumplings and pan dumplings

Great food, great service. We had the spicy soup dumplings, pork and prawn dumplings, noodles with beef, and soups (hot and sour, miso), and enjoyed everything we had. The soups were very large and hearty. Just a note they do not serve alcohol here (no big deal - meant for a much cheaper meal ;)). Would highly recommend. Looks like they have a great lunch special that we'll be back for. read more

Waaaaaay too salty all dishes. Ambience not great. Not sure why everything required so much salt

Let me tell yall something, as a chef, food reviewer, and self claimed dumpling connoisseur I can tell you with more than confidence that these are the best dumplings I've had to date. And I've had them all over the world. The soup dumplings had a broth so rich it took my breath away, and the pillowy pork buns I think I could eat one every single day! Born and bread in New Orleans and I've cooked my entire life I'm so impressed with this amazing group of people!! What a talented and amazing staff!!!! Everyone told me to prepare for the altitude but get ready for DUMPLING BAY! read more

Dumpling Bay - Soup dumpling combo... Both pretty and tasty - Dim Sum Near Me - Golden, Colorado

They're dumplings are completely inconsistent and way too much vinegar. I used to frequent this place for lunch for the $20 special which runs till 3 PM. I walked in and sat down at 2:58 but when I tried to order at 3:01 I was told I no longer can get the lunch special.. as a restaurant that was completely empty. You would think they would appreciate any business... unfortunately I will never be back. Nana's dim sum & dumplings and dumpling kitchen are much better options. read more

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!! This food didn't stand a chance. It didn't stand a chance to stay on my plate for more than 5 seconds which is needed in order to take pictures. We're in the golden area and we've been talking about we're in dire need of a consistent Chinese or Dim sum spot. We may have just found our new go to in Dumpling Bay. We went with the pork and cabbage dumplings, the classic steamed pork buns, Xiao Long Bao (aka soup dumplings), ground pork and green bean dish, and the Shrimp Shu Mai. Everything was so true to its flavors, delicately made and didn't fill me up with grease. Honestly if I'm being extra picky the one thing I would say is for the price the portions are a little on the small side but then again considering the lack of other Chinese food options surrounding us Dumpling "Bay" is more on an Island read more
