Five HUGE shining stars for this amazing Chinese restaurant. We came on a whim for lunch while at an appointment in superior and I was honestly blown away. Everything was soooo tasty, and you can tell it's made in house, not frozen. The homemade noodles were tasty. Spicy wontons were great/ that sauce! Don't sleep on this star, Denver!

Food - 3 Service - 4 Value - 2 I ate here recently and it was a bit of a let down for me. I ordered the cucumber salad, fried dumplings and then a noodle dish. All 3 were just average to me and the price was a bit high given the quantity/quality. I think I was expecting something more authentic, but this was Americanized quite a bit.

Truffle dumpling

If you're hunting for a little dumpling joy with a side of giggles, King Dumpling might just be your snackable soulmate. Here's my bite-sized verdict, with a dash of whimsy. The staff are very welcoming, and when you ask them for recommendations, they're very helpful. Pork Dumpling Flavor: Very flava Texture: Nice and satisfying Quick verdict: A solid, comforting dumpling that earns a nod from the flavor gods. Fry Squid Tentacles Breading: Nice and country (like a warm hug from a country kitchen) Squid: Delicious, slightly chewy in the best way Quick verdict: Chewy, crispy, and totally cheeky in the best possible way. Combination Dumpling Composition: Two chicken, two vegetable, two pork (six dumplings in total) Favorite: Vegetable dumpling steals the show Flavor punch: The vegetable are packed with flavor Least favorite: Chicken, a touch tame next to the others Quick verdict: A fun sampler that mostly sings, with one meh note. Truffle Dumpling Taste: Unique, an acquired taste in the best way Meat quality: Juicy and flavorful Quick verdict: A fancy, playful twist that markets itself as "try-me" on the menu. Egg Custard Buns Description: Little buns with big personality Filling: Egg custard dreams come true Verdict: So delicious you'll consider moving in with a custard bun shelf. I'd come back for these again and again and again. Overall vibe King Dumpling serves up a delightful mix of comfort food with a wink. If you like texture plays, bold flavors, and a touch of nostalgia (plus a dash of "aww, that's cute"), this place will put a smile on your face--and maybe even on your dumpling. Quick rating (optional) Flavor wow factor: 4.2/5 Texture and crunch: 4.0/5 Overall fun: 4.5/5 Would return for custard buns: absolutely yes

Service was fast, food was practically still cooking in front of us. The vibes were awesome for such a small place! Would absolutely go again

cucumber salad and dan dan noodle soup
Maryn P.

I'm kinda bummed about this review. The food was really bland overall. I got the cucumber salad which tasted so weird. I only took two bites before pushing it away. The dan dan noodle soup is so bland and missing the traditional dan dan noodle vibe. The pork soup dumplings with the sauce were really good though which is why I'm giving them 3 stars. Otherwise, probably a 1.5 star. The name is King Dumpling though so I should've just stuck to their namesake. I ended up eating leftover cold thai food for dinner over this. Pretty disappointing for $44.

Will say can't say much about costumer service or the inside of the place. The inside of the place well has to be based on pics or visiting the actual restaurant. I did place an order through DoorDash so this is based solely on food. Shrimp and pork spicy wonton 8/10 will say the sauce was amazing just threw me off that they were green based in the pics that were shown on DoorDash. Didn't give them a 10 since I have had better but not too shabby tbh. Pork fried dumpling 7/10 will say with this one I didn't expect the corn inside. Nothing too special about it but not a huge fan of corn but not bad. Beef noodle soup 6/10 the beef and noodle were okay. Kinda wish the broth had more flavor tho. Pork steamed buns 7/10 were definitely steamed buns and were pretty savory as well Overall food was okay. Also don't know if my standards are too high as well but will say it was an okay place for me. Not too shabby but even looking at the prices on the menu and not DoorDash seemed a bit pricey for me. Idk if I'm being biased in the pricing since I do live in Cali and it seems to be cheaper over there lolz.

Wontons in chilli oil
Marianne M.

A new neighborhood joint. Love their pre-mix dumpling sauce (perfect mix of sweet, vinegar, salt). Their dumplings are made fresh in house. Noodles are also handmade and very chewy (in a good way). Beef noodle soup and Xiao Long Pao are our favorite. My kids love their stir fry noodles. Our favorite lunch spot for something quick, reasonable and healthy.

Vegetable Fried Rice
Hannah S.

Go have yourself a royal feast. I did! There is all kinds of dumplings, boa buns, soups, fried rice and more that would make anyone feel like a King! Over the holiday weekend, my family and I decided to try this spot. My brother loves bao buns, my mother loves fried rice, my husband loves dumplings and I just love food. We ordered: Vegetable Fried Rice Steamed Pork Bao Buns Fried Pork Dumplings Pork Soup Dumplings Fried Chicken Dumplings Spicy Pork Wontons ... then ordered: Steamed Pork Bao Buns Fried Pork Dumplings What can I say? We were hungry and clearly love pork! Jokes aside, everything was regal with flavor, texture and spice. We each had our favorites! I'd say if I was just popping in myself (without extra mouths to feed), I'd order the Spicy Pork Wontons and Steamed Pork Bao Buns. The Spicy Pork Wontons had extra sauce drizzled on them that I then dipped the Steamed Pork Bao Buns in. It's the MOOOOOVE! Trust me. Going back? Absolutely, I need to try some of their noodle and soup dishes! They look majestically delicious. ;D

Dan Dan soup
Gene T.

This was nice. This will not be a go to place for me. The atmosphere is not conducive for me to make this a go to place and occasionally I also want a cocktail or something, which you cannot get here. Not a real comfortable setting. They make their own sauces, noodles, etc. nice fresh touch. Had the Dan Dan soup which had ground pork and a delicate broth. The steamed pork dumpling are outstanding. The Taro boba tea is as delightful.

Popcorn chicken
Sara C.

So many dumpling places popping up everywhere in Denver but I haven't felt super blown away.... Except for King. The pricing here initially "seems" expensive for half a dozen dumplings but it's the traditional northern Chinese style, stuffed to the brim. One filling of King's is probably 3-4x the dumplings fillings elsewhere. The wrappers have a nice chew texture and def legit. Reminds me of how my grandmother made it. Every culture has friend chicken, but popcorn chicken is originally from Taiwan... this was missing the OG sprinkle flavor... but still super tender and has their own twist to it. Dan Dan noodle is different than others I've had, this is more sesame/peanut-y flavor. Great noodle and great broth! All in all I'll def be back, owners are super friendly and attentive. The restaurant is open and clean. Their dumpling is on point and come give them a try.

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!

They have the dim sum, set price family dinners, special chef menu and then the main menu with; Chicken, beef, lamb, vegetables, lobster, FROG!, tofu, pan fried noodles, soup, just to name a few. This is a seafood restaurant and saw them fishing the lobsters out of the tank. We started off with a family favorite of small size of seafood fish maw soup which could have easily fed 6-8 people. We were a party of 4 . We had extra to take home too. Then we moved onto the highlight which was the crispy Peking duck. We were 4 people and this 1/2 duck was the perfect size. The skin was juicy and crisp and not dry and leathery. This was a delight to have and the star of our dinner. We then moved on the a chef special menu item which was smoked spare ribs. This was a disappointment. We got overly sweetened little tiny riblets with no smokiness. They were super thin and not what we expected. Will kit order this again. The black mushroom with vegetables was ok. I expected the black mushrooms to be more tender and felt they could have been simmered more to make them softer. They were a bit chewy The yang chow fried rice was a bit on the dry side. We ordered the beef noodles with gravy and this dish was perfect with the crispy noodles under a bed of beef and vegetables. This was delicious. We also ordered and nibbled on a couple of dim sum dishes for dinner. The deep fried meat dumplings were not greasy and had a crunchy exterior. We also ordered the lotus wrapped rice which was comfort food satisfying. We had a lively bilingual Chinese speaking waitress who was super friendly and had water, tea, ice water glasses filled at all times. She was helpful when selecting the food items.

I have a semi-severe shrimp allergy. I was told by the employee there that the pork and chive dim sum DID NOT have shrimp in it and I even asked her again to make sure. Sure enough, there was shrimp in it and I was in pretty severe pain for a few hours. They really need to take those issues into better consideration. Other than that, I really do like Empress and would go back but will need to open up everything I get to make sure there is no shrimp in anything.

Shrimp Shumai: this was the first item I took out of the bag and disappointment was the first feeling I felt. I should've trusted my gut when I saw the name of the dish but the photo didn't match. I based it off the photo and what was delivered was not what was in the photo. Instead, I got these small, nickel sized diameter "dumplings" that are straight up mushy. Xiao long bao: maybe it was delivery issue, but all dumplings were broken, and the soup leaked. Aside from this, the wrapping is thick especially at the top where the twist is. The filling is also mushy but better than the shrimp Shumai. I still wouldn't get this again. Chili wontons: again, maybe a delivery issue but there wasn't a lot of chili oil since it leaked out of the bag. Aside from that, the wrapper was thick. Filling was meh. Mapo tofu: just okay but again, very hard to mess up mapo tofu in general imo. Lacks meat. Probably the best thing out of what I ordered unfortunately

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