Go for the "homeland" ones - enough for 2 people, unusual and very tasty. There are fancy decorated tables near the back to impress a friend or two. No little carts with dim sum - you order them from the menu. Servers are very helpful. Rather pricy, but it's a really nice place with excellent food.

Visiting Colorado! Cousins took us to have valentines dinner here last night. Place is located on…read morethe corner of the Great Wall Asian market off Sheridan. Inside is decorated with your traditional Chinese decorations. Clean and open. We receded fairly quickly and water was brought to us. There was a nice and warm vibe although we were the only other table of seven that was there at that time. This place offers dim some and a regular menu. We order some dim sum and we order some items off the regular menu which included beef chow fun a tofu dish, and Chinese broccoli along with some other dim sum items. Overall the place was nice and the prices was okay the portions are a little bit on the smaller side but the taste is pretty good. If you're in the area or haven't tried this place yet I would recommend you trying this out and see how you like it period I would come back and visit if I'm back in town in the future Period

Service was quick to take the order, refill water and clear out empty plates/steamer baskest. The dishes coming out of the kitchen was at a more erratic pace, but it's all about the food. Mapo tofu was good, with a light slick of chili oil. The flavors were spot on with little chunks of fermented salted broad beans. The heat was also moderate, but it did have a kick as you were eating it. That signature mala numbing spiciness started building, but not hot enough for my palate. Green beans were also nice and tender. Sometimes when they come out the fryer, the skin can be a little leathery, but wasn't present here. BBQ Buns were very soft and tender, loaded with BBQ pork. The shao mai had a nice bouncy texture and cooked well. Shrimp Lo Mein had the flavors of the Chinese American classic, it looks like the noodles were hand made too. Only miss was the shrimp dumplings. They were too close to each other and they stuck together. The wrapper was also overcooked, but somehow the shrimp was not. Nearly impossible to pickup with chopsticks, because the wrapped just fell apart, even with a delicate touch. Worth a stop and probably tastiest Chinese food in the neighborhood. It was getting crowded and there was a wait by the time we left. However it was Denver restaurant week, so not sure how it usually is during the week.

The pho broth is consistently good and they do not cheapen you on meats. It's one of the few places you can get dimsum and I think they do a decent job. My favorites are the turnip cake and the bbq pork baked buns (not steam). The pineapple bun was dry and the custard was crumbly so I wasn't a fan. My parents actually ordered a ton of food from here during Chinese New Year and everything was quite flavorful. The beef chow fun is probably one of my favorites in Colorado. There's a lot of wok hei. Overall, space is big enough to accommodate large groups. Parking is a hit or miss in the center - don't come during Chinese New Year unless you love searching for parking and tight spaces.

Didn't take many photos but our favorites to order are the pork & chive, shrimp & chive, shu mai, roast duck, and Chinese broccoli. The fried noodles and pork belly were also good. There are many carts that rotate around but they also have a menu to order from, and one that has pictures for easy ordering. Parking is very small out front and there seemed to be only 1 handicap spot. Inside there are many tables that can hold big families of 6.

Prices are a bit high, 4 fried dumplings, 3 small steamed dumplings, and a Vietnamese coffee (which was largely ice) plus tip cost just under $40. The smothered Colorado green chili dumplings were the star of the meal. They had good pork flavor and the pickled onion and jalapenos added the extra flavors. Service was a bit slow, it took about 25+ mins for my order on a weekday when very few people were counter ordering. The milk market has great vibes and it allowed for our party to get different meal styles. The atmosphere is pretty casual. I would save this for a fun group outing where meals are shared. Service is self service order at the counter and they text you when it's ready. There is very little human interaction.

I have friends in bigger cities who celebrate that way annually.
