We had a great time grabbing dim sum at Harbor Dim Sum and Cuisine! The service was fast and they come to your with their carts which is such a fun part of the experience. The restaurant is clean although when it gets full it can start feeling a little cramped. The food was very good. Definitely rivaled Star Kitchen. We would say most of the dishes were better. Although the radish cake was not. Overall we loved it here. Plus they actually take reservations so we don't have to worry as much about the wait! My family will most likely be switching to this dim sum place for the foreseeable future! Always a plus that it's near Great Wall and the business Costco as well! You can walk off the food while getting some awesome groceries.
We have been to this location before when it was another dim sum place that lacked in just about every aspect. Now that Harbor Dim Sum has taken over the experience has better. The har gow (shrimp dumplings) are the only dish that seemed to be a bit off by taste and texture. The steamed BBQ pork buns were the other item that seemed off too but overall ok. Everything else was good. Service is good and certainly quick! The entire restaurant has been transformed with LED lit backlit Chinese paintings on the walls. Everything feels old and new at the same time. I would leave this place on my radar. I still have my favorites but this one is a solid choice.
The new management has done wonders for this restaurant. The decor has been updated and the restaurant is very clean. The dim sum was excellent. But my favorite dish was the braised pig ears. Spicy, a little crunchy, yet also tender. The space is large, so I hope they start to attract large dim sum crowds. I will definitely be back for the pig ears.
This dimsum spot is close to me and we've figured out the solid choices, there was a very cranky cart lady today and she was pretty rude when I asked about a bun. I do love the ambiance here and our favorites include xo noodles, shui mai, tofu skin, bbq buns and scallion noodles!
Star Kitchen, you now face some stiff competition! Thai place is clean and service is typical of many cart style dim sum. There are a couple dishes I still prefer at Star Kitchen like their roast duck and chow mein. Quality is there and each dumpling was amazing. The soup dumplings where juicy, and the siao mai was plump...like seriously big! The pork filling was juicy and savory! The roasted/crispy pork was salty but not overbearing with that typical Chinese 5 spice flavor. The turnip cake and rolled rice cake with xo sauce was to diet for! Overall I highly recommend Harbor Dimsum especially since their prices are very competitive!
Review is for their dinner service. I haven't been back to what used to be Super Star in a long time, and what a refreshing uplift of the remodel and new ownership. We were here celebrating a friend's dad's bday and had a really good early dinner. The decor is so nice and beautiful, the chairs are upgraded, the floor no longer the sticky industrial carpet... I still see a couple familiar faces working there for years and good to see them still working at the same location though different restaurants. I love the fried chicken, the daikon beef stew pot, the eggplant stew pot, the string beans.... Everything was so good! We like the clay pot rice but note that the chicken and mushroom one - the chicken does have some small bones in it. If you want no bones get the sausage one cuz the other ones either pork ribs also would have bones. Those take about 30 mins to cook so order ahead if you know you want them. Service was great and the meal was tasty. Def want to come back and try their dim sum next time, but dinner was a great meal celebrating the birthday papa!
Heard the braised pigeon at Harbor Dim Sum and Cuisine was very authentic and quite good, so have to try it out on my own. The place was reasonably busy in early Sunday afternoon. 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.
This is a great Cantonese restaurant for authentic dim sum and Chinese cuisine. Love the new Chinese decor. Service is prompt and attentive which is not typically the came in Chinese restaurants. The servers are very fast and efficient. They pay close attention to details. We came here for the Dim Sum and ordered an assortment of dishes that satisfied my daughter's cravings for dumplings and noodles. They couldn't get enough of them so they must be good! 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.
Dude this place is so good. It's clean and spacious. The remodel looks great. We went inbetween lunch and dinner and while there were still people dining, the place was very mellow. The people up front greeted us as soon as we walked in and seated us right away. 2 dim sum cart ladies rolled up immediately and we got the egg tart, steamed bbq pork buns, steamed rice noodle with shrimp and hai gao. My favorite out of those was the rice noodle with shrimp and hai gao but the egg tart and steamed bbq pork buns were good as well, steamed buns were fluffy! Next we put in an order of salt and pepper smelt, deep fried pork spare rib with garlic and rice noodle with chinese donut. The ribs are a must order. Very garlicky, light crisp on the outside but still tender. The smelt had eggs in them! Do you know how hard that is to find?! The steamed rice noodle with chinese donut was a perfect balance of soft and crispy. I'm SO sad there is nothing like this in the Springs but the drive is worth it. I can't wait to visit again and order a new batch of things to try.
Came by for a later weekend lunch and honestly, this is exactly what I want from a classic dim sum spot. We were seated quickly, and I love that they're old school with the carts coming around instead of QR codes or ordering off the menu (which you can still do if you want to order anything else on the menu that isn't on the carts). The carts came by and had a great selection of classic items. They were a little slow at times but we were on the later side of lunch service and it was relatively easy to catch someone's eye and have them come by the table. We grabbed baked BBQ pork buns, fried shrimp balls, har gow, siu mai, and xiao long bao and every single dish was fresh and hot! This isn't a fancy or trendy place, but that is definitely part of the charm. They have a large parking lot that they share with other businesses which makes visiting very easy. Would definitely come back again!
Beautiful Modern luxury Chinese restaurant atmosphere. Delicious dimsum and good service. Pretty great for date night and family dinner.
We went on a weekday in the afternoon so I'll imagine the dim sum carts weren't at full capacity. There were also a couple items that weren't available that were showing on the menu in my experience. Usually the weekday menu as less items than the weekend, but that'll be something I'll have to check out next time I go. I noticed a lot of items on the menu were the same items that they had at the location on Federal at Happy Cafe. I had previously had their pork and rice clay pot dish which I noticed so I'm very pleased to see that. I love the decor and the space. The service was great and I'll be looking to do more of an apples to apples comparison to Star kitchen by going on a weekend later.
I am personally pretty excited for a new dim sum to enter the Denver scene. I have enjoyed Happy Cafe so when I heard they were moving to a bigger location, I had to try their dim sum option. They had a pretty good selection even on a weekday. I was so excited for the durian puff pastry and they're the only place that makes it. We ordered 3 orders because they were so good. I really hope they keep it on the menu. The pastries were overall full of flavor and flakiness. They weren't overly sweet or bland. I only had the bbq pork cheung fun and that was really tasty. I can't wait to come back and try it in person instead of a to go order my parents got me.

Harbor Dim Sum is by all accounts a great discovery for us as we were looking for authentic Hong Kong-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. read more
HDS is the new kid on the block. Haven't been to Star kitchen in a minute don't feel like fighting for a parking spot and waiting for tables. Harbor check in process was much more efficient on a tablet. Sunday morning 11am there was no wait. Decor and chair setting was elegant enough to take guests. 4 stars had to deduct one because most of the dim sum plates were cold like it's been sitting out for awhile. The menu is mostly Cantonese and I highly recommend: House Special Steamed Chick 贵妃鸡 read more

Found a 2nd good dim sum place in Denver's Chinatown. The restaurant is very clean and well staffed. The service is attentive. And while not full on Wednesday at lunch, there were 10 tables all with Asian patrons. A good sign that there is something good cooking here! Just updated the review. Upon reflection. This place has superior, parking, service, and cleanliness relative to the average Denver dim sum restaurant. The only negative for which I took away a star was the Chinese Broccoli was cool and not piping hot when I ordered it out of the cart. Also there is a soft opening sign which is a bit misleading since this place has been around for a long while. It's just recently under new management. read more

Walking toward the restaurant, I noticed the "Soft Opening" sign, which generally means "please be kind, we are still working on our dishes.", so I walked in without any expectations. And boy, was I wrong for not having any expectations! The place was almost completely packed, and the noises from the conversation at each table, the many carts workers were pushing, and the happy faces on people's faces as they are eating their food, made me realized this IS the new place in Denver where one can have dim sum and enjoy eating these bite-sized nuggets often filled with variety of meat choices. The various dishes I ate were delicious. From the siu mai, deep fried tofu, a variety of dumplings, to the salt & pepper shrimp and salt & pepper squid, and even complimentary salted egg custard dumplings, my table of 9 diners left feeling very satisfied and most importantly, happy. Happy we came to eat, and happy to have nice conversations with each other. This restaurant is not lack of lighting, and it is nice and clean. Each table has white linen and filled with plates and utensils, ready to welcome next group of diners. If you are looking a place to catch up with friends or bringing your family together to have a meal, I believe this restaurant will be perfect for you. Enjoy! read more
Food: We ordered many dim sum to try out and my top three picks are 1. Shrimp & chives dumbling 2. BBQ pork bun(steamed) 3. Baked salted egg lava bun(sweet) The variety of hot tea costs only $1.50 per person & I like my Jasmine tea. The foods are delicious & quick. I enjoy all the deliciousness. Service: Very quick & attentive for weekday brunch. Asked for extra small dipping sauce and get them quickly. Above average friendly staffs for dim sum restaurant in Denver area. Ambiance: Traditional Chinese style decor with clots cover chairs. Clean & smell nice! It brought me back to my childhood Chinese restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. Sum up: I will go back here when I am craving dim sum. Happy with prices, service, parking, next to GW supermarket & delicious foods! Deducted 1 star bc I wishes they have more option on Veggies based dim sum. I only saw shiitake & shrimp dumpling. And prefer my dim sum to be more piping hot as a original Chinese style. read more
Wanted to try Harbor since new ownership. It was nice. The dim sum was good, but could tell small flavor differences. The tofu was less peppery, but saltier. We did have to request several dishes, but left full. Recognized familiar Aunties still doing their thang. =) There were seven of us and they added gratuity (standard and let us know when we paid ~$32 each). Overall, good experience and glad it's doing well. read more
The dim sum here was quite good and decently priced. The service was quick and to the point like you'd expect at a Chinese restaurant. My favorite dim sum was the shrimp dumplings, shumai, and bao buns. Would definitely recommend! read more
I love how they still have push carts for lots of modernized goodies. Like bbq Galbi, salt and pper shrimp, salt and pepper calamari amongst many baked pastries (sweet and savory). Their steamed carts have all the staples: shrimp dumpling, pork dumplings, shrimp or bbq pork rice rolls, chicken feet, scallop dumplings, lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice with sausage, pork and mushrooms. We had such a great time enjoying every bite. The service and atmosphere is as expected for a bustling Chinese dim sum spot. Our waters are always filled. It gets less bus after 1:15pm and we had a very short wait. No reservations for small parties but can join the waitlist when you arrive. read more

Moms bought us some food to go...everything was fine until i felt something hard in my mouth. Glad i found it and not in my 3 1/2 year old daughters mouth...fed her before i dug into it . How the hell did a staple get into the noodles? read more
Happy Cafe was one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, and was happy to hear that they took over this dim sim location. The food was good but the delivery was a little disorganized, which I think will get better over time. We had a late lunch so the dim sum cart service was wrapped up and the options seemed a little limited. We later saw other people with menus but weren't offered menus to look at. We also had some items meant for the table next to us that were misdelivered to our table. Our favorite dish was the lobster. It was so good! Very well seasoned, would definitely get this again. Dim sum was good too. The spicy chicken was a huge portion and I had leftovers for days. I'm interested to come back here once they've been operating a little longer and have smoothed out the dim sim service processes. read more

Promising New Spot With a Beautiful Makeover Harbor Dim Sum & Cuisine is in its soft opening stage, and it's already impressive. The transformation of the restaurant design is stunning modern, bright, and elegant, with a comfortable layout that feels perfect for dim sum gatherings. It's a big step up from what this space used to be, and you can tell a lot of thought went into creating a welcoming and stylish dining atmosphere. The dim sum selection was fresh and flavorful, with dishes arriving hot and nicely presented. We enjoyed everything we tried, and it's clear the kitchen is putting effort into both taste and quality. Service was friendly and attentive, especially considering it's a soft opening. Staff were quick with refills and check-ins, and overall the experience felt smooth and organized. Harbor Dim Sum & Cuisine is definitely a spot to watch. With great food, beautiful renovations, and a solid start, I'm excited to come back and see how the menu and service continue to grow. A wonderful addition to the area highly recommend giving it a try! read more

2nd time here. The first time I was in and out so fast I did not do a review. Dim sum has another spot here in denver. The chicken feet is on par. The Xiu mai was good, not as big as star kitchen. The place is brought and clean. Very nice and attentive staff. Came back the 2bd time for dinner with my wife. She wanted chicken feet and try out this spot. I went without her the first time for lunch. Today's dinner: chicken feet , salt and pepper tofu , beef chow fun , eggplant and pork , steam chicken half with ginger and onion. I recommend all the dishes today except the steam chicken(ginger onion sauce was off, chicken was not free range). 35 yrs of enjoying the authentic asian cuisine scene all over the US , I can say I am satisfied with this restaurant in terms of service, ambience, and cleanliness. I will certainly be back for chicken feet read more
