2.Stir-Fried Broccoli w.Garlic
Joanna C.

WHAT A HIDDEN GEM!! If I can give 10 stars, I would!! The food was amazing!! Very authentic and fresh! You can see them rolling the dumplings in the back. All the vegetables were delicious and tasted different in their own unique way. The soup dumplings were perfectly made and the soup didn't fall out when lifting them out of the container. Service was amazing! They are on it to make sure you received your entire order. Quick and fast too! We were so full we didn't even get to try the dessert. We definitely will be back to try their dessert and the other menu items as well!

Grabbed dinner with one of my favorite colleagues here! Overall, everything was really good! There were so many options on the menu so we decided to splurge. Soup dumplings were juicy! The Tan Tan noodles were also amazing, a little spicy! A good spot, would recommend! Plenty of parking in the plaza. Staff was also super friendly!

This place was busier than I thought it would be for a small little strip mall place (but it was Friday night). We only waited about 15-20 minutes, though. I had edamame & vegetable dumplings and a jasmine tea. All delicious. Service was prompt & helpful. Would Come back again.

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.

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.

Spicy dumplings

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!

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.

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!

We stopped by here from a road trip around 5-ish. The place was busy but smells terrific so we stayed and it didn't take long to be seated. The place is clean the service pleasant and quick and we loved the meal. My niece & nephew from HI are food snobs and they lo

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.

Having lived in Hong Kong and Seattle we have always made dim sum brunches an important part of our…read moreweekend routine. We were told that Star Kitchen has a good dim sum service and our experience bore out that recommendation. Star Kitchen has 40 tables which is not enough for the demand so reservations are an absolute necessity. One cannot do this over the phone or on the web. Rather, they have a check-in system in the lobby which is only available about 15 minutes before the 10:00 store opening. Odd but effective since it likely eliminates problems with no-shows. Be advised there is a line before the lobby opens! Star Kitchen seats about 120 diners. They only had 5 carts which is far too few for the demand. Two carts are devoted to steamed, two for fried, and one for tofu and congee. The selection of fare was superb and featured the classics. I will say that the kitchen ensured the carts were always stocked. The lack of carts makes the wait between helpings longer than we would have preferred but the quality and taste more than made up for the delay. We started with chrysanthemum tea, ordered a mix of both steamed and fried classics then finished with honey tofu (which we highly recommend!) Six dishes plus dessert is more than enough for two adults. The food is excellent though the ambiance is classic Chinese eatery - functionality punctuated by bizarre objets d'art and random piles of boxes and linens. Go early and sit tight as your patience will be richly rewarded.

Delicious and authentic. What more can you want from dim sum?…read more Be sure to get here early as the wait can get lengthy. So plan ahead, though the food is well worth the wait! Carts rotate and display their options to you frequently as you enjoy your meal. So tou can order plates as quickly as you finish them. I recommend the pork buns and pork ribs. My favorite this time around were the leek dumplings with a side of noodles. We finished off with a coconut bun that wasn't too sweet. It was the perfect finish to the meal with ample amounts of tea. Use the kiosk up front to reserve your spot!

Harbor Dim Sum is by all accounts a great discovery for us as we were looking for authentic Hong…read moreKong-style dim sum. The restaurant was completely renovated about a year ago, and they did a remarkable job creating a modern, welcoming space while preserving the warmth and character of a traditional Chinese restaurant. One of the interesting aspects of Harbor Dim Sum is their business partnership with the Asian supermarket next door, giving them access to very fresh seafood--and you can definitely taste it in the dishes. We came for an early brunch and, as usual with dim sum, what was supposed to be a small breakfast quickly turned into a table covered with bamboo baskets! I particularly enjoyed the har gow shrimp dumplings. The wrappers were delicate and translucent, the shrimp were plump and fresh, and they were steamed perfectly. The siu mai were equally generous, topped with a little orange roe and served piping hot directly from the bamboo steamer. We also tried the tripes, one of those traditional dim sum dishes that I always enjoy when properly prepared. The steamed buns were light and fluffy, and the seafood congee was delicate and comforting--a perfect dish for an early brunch. I really love congee! What I always liked was seeing the traditional dim sum carts circulating throughout the dining room, loaded with stacks of bamboo steamers. You simply look, point, ask a few questions and suddenly another basket appears on your table! This old-fashioned Hong Kong and Cantonese style of dim sum service adds a nice homy touch to the experience. The service was fast, efficient and very friendly. Much of it was conducted in Chinese, which was actually another bonus for me because it gave me an opportunity to practice some of my very basic Chinese. Nothing like ordering dim sum to test your vocabulary! The renovated dining room is spacious and attractive, with traditional Chinese decorative elements, beautiful illuminated panels, dark wood furniture and the classic red tablecloths. It feels distinctly Chinese without feeling dated. There is a genuine sense of warmth and hospitality. Will definitely be back.

The green beans had fantastic flavor and very different from any other green bean I've had. The soup dumplings were pretty average. Not bad but not amazing. The chasu bao buns were disappointing because the pork was very fatty and cartilage forward. But I love chasu bao buns so still edible. The purple pork shrimp was very pork forward in the smell and aftertaste. The wrapper is super thick and not a satisfying chew like other dumplings. Was not a fan of that. I also got to try the Halloween special drink, called the evil eye and it was delicious! Couldn't really taste the alcohol at all but maybe it didn't have much. Overall not bad and would come back because I'm close by. If you sign up for the membership you can get money off.
