    Spicy dumplings
    Fred N.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    My wood ear mushroom salad
    Sara M.

    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.

    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!

    Pork and cabbage in chili oil
    Amanda J.

    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.

    They tape a ticket to your table of what you ordered.

    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.

    Stir fried garlic beans with pork
    Kimber H.

    We LOVE xiao long baos and miss Lao Wangs. Wanted to give this place a shot and the original xiao long bao were decent. tan tan noodles and the stir fried garlic beans with pork are way better. I would also highly recommend the red chili dumplings.

    Noodle with scallion oil

    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.

    This is a charming and unassuming place in a strip mall next to the gas station. It may not look fancy from the outside but there is serious flavor here. We grabbed the soup dumpling sampler, the shrimp shumai and the bao buns. All very good. Adorable family inside

    Victoria I.

    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!

    Chicken fried rice
    Melissa L.

    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

They were able to see us at their largest table. My friend then placed all of the orders because he knew what we all liked and what they had on the menu already. The food came out in waves, which was nice so we got a chance to eat a little bit of everything at a time instead of being overwhelmed with everything all at once. The temperature of the food was great! Hot and fresh :-) the seasoning could've been a little better. My friend said some of the "spicy" food was not very spicy. My friend who suggested it said that tonight wasn't their best night though as well. He said he's been before and it was great while tonight's food was just mediocre. I would definitely be willing to give them another try, but it is a little far from where we all live so it might be a while till we head back. The service was amazing though, very friendly, very attentive and very kind.

Glad the dim sum carts were still around, so also ordered a few items since it has been a while since having dim sum last time. The braised pigeon here was of the Guangdong Zhongshan style, with crispy skin and tender and juicy meat, even the bones were kind of crunchy, bringing back the memory of the taste from yesteryears. For dim sum, ordered the shrimp rice noodle rolls, XO sauce turnip cake, steamed chicken feet in brown sauce and beef offal in stew. The rice noodle rolls were fresh from the steamer, with a soft, tender and slippery texture, not overly thick to be floury and not overly thin to lose its chewiness. Certainly one of the better rice noodles in town. The XO sauce turnip cake, steamed chicken feet and stewed beef offal were all a little spicy. With the signature taste of the XO sauce, the turnip cake did not need additional dipping sauce. The turnip cake was served in small cubes, with crispy and earthly exterior and soft interior, matching the savory taste of the XO sauce well. The chicken feet were tender, meaty and flavorful. Beef offal was aromatic, tender and chewy. A very satisfying lunch and no wonder it was quite packed in late afternoon.

The beef balls have great flavors but have stringy parts in the middle, which made it hard to chew. The beef noodles hit the spot with tender beef sliced and flavorful broth. Other customers ordered food from the main menu which looked so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want to impress someone with authentic Chinese food. In comparison to LA Chinese food, I give an 8/10 which is a high mark.

The xiao long bao were decent, but I personally prefer the soup dumplings at Nana's Dim Sum & Dumplings. The crab rangoons were a highlight and had actual crab meat, unlike many places that use imitation crab. The Thai pineapple chicken was too sweet and ended up being our least favorite dish. Drinks The Thai iced tea was refreshing. Vegetarian Options They do have vegetarian options on the menu. Service & Ambience Service was quick, and the restaurant and restrooms were very clean.
