Dare I say the best dumplings we have ever tried!!!!!! We saw this shop as we were walking around our hotel area and decided to have lunch here. The pan fried pork dumplings were delicious 10/10... juicy with a little crunch from the fry dipped in some soy sauce and chili oil. So happy to have found our new go to spot in Boulder for some warm noodles or dumplings. Plenty of seating and friendly staff! read more

Mason’s Dumpling Shop - Boulder - Pan Fried Pork () - Chinese Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Mason's Dumpling serves various kinds of authentic Chinese dumpling and noodle dishes. I tried the soup dumplings (Xiao Lung Bao in Chinese) and a stewed beef bun for lunch. Unfortunately, both were disappointing. The soup dumplings were no better than those frozen ones sold in Asian grocery store. The beef bun was better except some part of the steamed bun was mushy most likely the water from the steamer dropped onto the bun during steaming. The service was fine, but it took close to 10 minutes to get the soup dumplings. The price is also on the high side for only 8 pcs of dumplings. read more

Great noodles and dumplings. Reminds me of home. The restaurant is very clean and open and it's great to have steamy warm food in the winter. read more

Superb food! I'm a big pork dumpling fan but my buddy had the beef, cheese and onion dumplings and I was so disappointed in my choice! The pork dumplings were still good (I ate all of them) but I had 3 of his and was wishing for more! We both had the beef bowl with rice and that was just exceptionally good! The service was a little lackluster but the food here will make you very happy!! read more

This place was on point. We have been to a lot of dumpling places. Visiting Boulder from Los Angeles where places like this are everywhere.we didn't know what to expect but this was by far the best we have had. It was so good read more

The food here is really top notch. We came in for a quick bite just to experience the neighborhood and are so thrilled that we seemed to have stumbled upon a real gem. Will absolutely be back. Reasonable prices, high quality food and rich flavors. read more

Easily the best dumpling, scallion pancake, and pork belly noodle soup in Boulder. The noodle soup could use a bit more flavor (I can't add chili oil to anything so this is pretty crucial for me.) and the noodles are almost too close to spaghetti but otherwise a good enough dish to keep me warm in the winter. The fried pork dumplings tasted good - the meat did not taste frozen. The scallion pancakes were pan fried the way they should be, not deep-fried, so they had good chew and flavor. I had only one bad dish and that was the beef noodle soup where the broth was bland but everybody can have a bad day. My biggest complaint is the cost but this is Boulder, what are you going to do? read more

Went here while in town. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area! read more

Was in town for our daughter's graduation from CU Boulder she had told me about this place before we came. She said she would get the pork belly noodle soup from Uber Eats when she needed a pick-me-up or on a cold day. We went with our family which consisted of six people the place was packed and had no tables the young lady assured me by the time we ordered and our food was ready there would be a table. And yup there it was a good call young lady love their service and the food was awesome thank you for contributing to our great graduation weekend!!! Sko Buffs! read more

Really yummy dumplings, bok choy and vegan options with the vegan "chicken" rice bowl! Love this as someone who is vegan!

Excellent authentic dumplings. The only drawback is the parking at this location. Otherwise the food is great and worth the hassle of parking. read more

Hey, this place is a pretty good dumpling shop. Noodles are good too. Please bring one up north. I'm tired of driving to traffic filled aurora for my dumpling fix. I get scared I'm going to run over someone randomly crossing the colfax streets. Thank you. read more

Had lunch today in this cute little place. Vegetarian dumplings are amazing. Tables are a bit dirty and sticky,I hope they'll hire an extra person to help. read more

Great place WITH EXCEPTIONS. Best dumplings I've found in the area and the first I've found that does pan fried dumplings correctly (in my opinion). However, we were served raw soup dumplings with raw pork in the middle, the kind staff took them back and remade them but again they were raw, on the third try they were cooked properly and were actually very good. I understand that this is a new place and it takes a while to get everything figured out but other than remaking the soup dumplings for us there was no other consolation for being served raw pork. The was no real apology or any sort of compensation like you would usually get In this sort of situation other than being told "the guy on the steaming station is new". I hope that the kitchen staff gets figured out because I would like to see this place stay around. I still gave 4 stars because I believe that the ratings on here can so easily ruin a reputation of a restaurant based off of silly things like service or cleanliness (both of which were not an issue here), and not based on the food which I believe is the most important part of any restaurant. Best things to try: beef noodle soup, pan fried pork, pan fried fish & Napa, chive pockets, pork and crab soup dumplings (if they are cooked!) read more

Nice shop. Had wood ear salad, and soup dumplings. Both were very good. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Stayed up in Boulder one night and wanted to try something different- I wasn't to hungry so I came across Mason's Dumpling Shop. It's small spot. You can order to go or wait till they have a table open. I didn't want to spend time looking for something else and it was close to where I was staying. I wanted to give this place a try. When I walked in, I felt like you could tell it was my 1st time. I was greeted and asked what I wanted right away. I asked for the menu and began looking it over. It had a lot off items, with small details. I asked the cashier for her recommendation. It was really good and if I could have I would have ordered a few other things I was surprised on the portions especially given the price but it all worked out. I am giving 4 stars only because I didn't get any instructions how long my food would be before it came out. I ordered drinks that didn't come out before my meal and had to go remind them to get them. After I ate I cleaned up my plates cause it looked like that's what some people did but others didn't. No one came around and asked me if I liked it or not. Food was really good and not sure if I would have found anything else to eat so close by. Glad I stopped and tried it out. read more

I buy my frozen dumplings at Trader Joe's. I cook them in the air fryer. They taste very good, and the price is much cheaper. As I ate my first Mason's dumpling last night, I thought this is very very good.  By the 4th one, I thought these are the best ones I've ever had.  Delicious.  Glad I have a couple left for today.  They kind of cost a lot. I don't really have the money to spend on these. I'll buy them anyway. read more

Visiting son at U Colorado here and was alone for last night as he flew out first. The food here is savory and decision. Was delighted with my smorgasbord of selections, beef nad mushrooms, baby bak chow, dumplings. They even gave me some dumplings to go, for free, as I am in the hotel kitty-corner from this lovely joint. Very nice nad responsive staff, hosts. read more

Promised our toddler a dumpling date after he had to get shots (he loves dumplings) so decided to give the Boulder location a try, since it is close to home. I was a little skeptical, since no one in reviews seems to like this location as much as the Aurora one. First- I have to say.. it is LOUD in here. I asked the person taking orders if they had highchairs, to which he said no, then I later say highchairs behind the counter and went and asked again and it was clear he just hadn't been able to hear me. I also couldn't hear my husband across the table and he couldn't hear me either. All we heard was Fergie. Food was pretty mediocre. Got the chive pockets, chicken pan fried dumplings and soup dumplings with crab. Dumplings didn't seem to have a lot of flavor and we both even agree that the chile oil was pretty bland? No idea, but our toddler usually goes crazy on dumplings and I think he ate maybe 1? Can't tell if we just got an off night, but we make better dumplings at home, in my opinion.. Will have to keep looking for somewhere in the area to get good dumplings on nights where we don't feel like making them. read more

Not the best ramen/noodle soup I've had, but very tasty. I had the beef noodle soup and the beef was tender and we'll spiced. My daughter had the pork belly noodle soup and the pork was tender and equally delicious. We shared the pan fried pork dumplings and these were good. I wish there were more sauce/spice options on the table for dipping. Atmosphere is similar to a college town corner shop cafe. It's obviously popular because it was busy! Service is good. read more

This place was jam-packed when we arrived - luckily we had reservations. They sat us right away, we then waited quite a bit to get our food. The red chili sauce wasn't spicy at all, but overall the flavors were yummy. read more

We had the pork dumplings, edamame and beef bun. The food was ok. The service was wonderful, as was the ambiance.

Loved the food and great service! The place was nice and had plenty of seating. We ordered the soup dumplings and two types of boiled dumplings and they were all delicious. read more

Omg the food was insane! Delicious and hot and quick! Love the fact that there was an option for vegetarians and vegans. The service was great! They helped to explain everything and really knew their own menu and great stuff to recommend. Lots of space and windows so the environment was great! Will definitely come back read more

Great food! Highly recommend the beef buns, pork belly noodles, and soup dumplings! Good atmosphere and service!

Great place for fried, boiled, or steamed dumplings. Also, the Waygu beef and pork belly buns are awesome. They have noodle and rice dishes, but I have not tried them yet! Very fast and friendly counter service with a good number of tables. Only difficult thing is to find free parking right around the restaurant. With Boulder parking zones, you have to go a few blocks away to find a free parking space. read more

For a casual dining experience the dumplings and bao were amazing! It's actually pretty preferable to be able to get such good food so quick and easy I just wish they had better parking. We split a few things. The fried dumplings (chicken and cabbage) were def a favorite but the steamed vegan dumplings were beautiful and tasty. We tried both of the vegetarian bao buns. The "beef" was more crispy teriyaki and the "chicken" was a mildly sweet ginger. Good chili crisp and soy/vinegar on the table but maybe I'll ask for something with a little more spice kick next time. We also tried the seaweed salad. I was expecting something lighter from what I'm used to but I love the flavor of the dressing/marinade. It has more of an umami punch than I expected but it was a good thing! The service is counter order which is easy enough but the staff was attentive in the dining-room bringing out food as it was hot and ready and clearing plates or brining by water. Great experience all around. read more

I am so excited to have found this place in Boulder. I have been CRAVING soup dumplings from a favorite place in denver with all of this cold weather and I came across Masons. We ordered takeout soup dumplings fried dumplings and Bun. Wow. One of my new go to places! read more

This place is very good. Probably 4.5 stars. The setting is casual. You order at the counter and then take a seat for a very short wait for your food to start arriving as it's ready. We ordered a variety of dumplings and the beef noodle soup. The soup was delicious. A+. The dumplings were very good. B to B+. The pan fried dumplings were a bit over salted. The steamed dumplings were spot on. The young lady at the front was very nice. I would visit this place again and I highly recommend it. read more

Amazing Dumplings Everything we had was sooooo good!! Highly recommend Service was great and the atmosphere was super clean...cute place! read more

Good quality food with reasonable price. Walking distance to hotel. I will definitely come back.

The environment and food here are great! Love the noodle best, the baos also pretty tasty. And the ingredients are so fresh!!!

Nothing to complain about, their chili crunch is fantastic. The ambiance is welcoming and modern and the food was brought to us very quickly. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for some delicious and comforting dumplings! The seaweed salad and soup dumplings were by far my highlight. The vegetarian meat options was mind blowing how much it tasted like the real deal! Texture was nailed and everything. read more

Looks promising from outside, yet like many places in Boulder, the food is just meh. Nothing wow. It's ok. Wish the quality had been top notch. read more

Clean and bright space. Agree w/ others, not the best I've ever had, but it scratches the itch and it's GREAT for the Asian food desert that is Boulder. My faves were the Angus beef noodle soup (more of a clear broth vs. the darker broth of the Taiwanese "hong shao" variety) -- appreciate how the beef was super tender and not overly chewy -- the chive pockets, and the pork belly bun. I also got the pork soup dumplings which I enjoyed, and I plan to try the other varieties next time. Looking forward to coming back w/ the rest of the fam, as well as friends. read more

Fantastic dumplings!! Service is a bit slow- waited for a over half hour to get my take-out order and they forgot to put the soup base in so had to wait another 5 minutes or so. Other than that, the staff was nice and friendly and the food is delicious! read more
