A go to in Denver that our friend recommended. Thankfully, we were able to sit down right away during weekday lunch. But I've heard that it could take much longer to grab a table for dinner! Outside of all the amazing dumplings and siu mai, absolutely recommend the green beans!! Big serving that's great for sharing. The crab rangoon were filled mostly with cream cheese, but they have a decent side of crab on the dish. We wish it was actually in the rangoon itself. Overall great place for any occasion - whether it's date night or for family sharing. read more

We came for the dumpling class on 8/1 and loved it - highly recommend!! Then we stayed for lunch after. The food and service are amazing! The restaurant is pretty large, exceptionally clean and quiet enough to have a conversation. We loved our entire experience and cannot wait to come back, so we've already planned our next visit! We ordered the green beans, Szechuan chicken, sweet rice shao mai, xiao long soup dumplings and our dumplings from class (those are pork and scallion). It was all incredible! There are many more dishes on our list to try. read more

Nana's Dim Sum & Dumplings was one of the highlights of our trip to the RiNo district. The location is awsome and really easy to walk to if you're already exploring the area. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out. read more

Pretty solid spot! Came here on a Friday at 4:30 no Resy. It was HH but the deals are just ok. Majority of the food we wanted to try was not on the menu. Pretty Americanized Chinese food but Decent sized portion sizes but I think expensive. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. The inside is cute! Hopefully be back :) read more

Everything was delicious!!!!! Especially the spicy items. The food was just delicious and very flavorful. The only item a but off was the panda cake and the lack of flavor was made up by the cuteness of it. Our waiter was amazing and the decor on point. Completely recommend this spot. read more

What a delicious place to discover! I also have to say--it feels like whenever a restaurant has "Nana's" in the name, you really can't go wrong. We ordered the Lo Mein with Shrimp & Chicken, Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Hot & Sour Soup, Egg Drop Soup, Shu Mai, and Sweet Rice Shu Mai. Every dish was packed with flavor and made for a truly satisfying meal. My personal favorites were the Hot & Sour Soup and the Salt & Pepper Shrimp, but everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. As expected, Nana's didn't disappoint. Not only was the food flavorful, but the portions were generous, and everything arrived in a very cool bag that was a fun touch. I would definitely order from here again! read more

I'm not sure how it took us this long to finally check this spot out, but I'm so glad we did. We managed to snag a couple of seats at the bar, which was buzzing with energy for a Thursday evening. Since they're known for their dumplings, we naturally had to order a few varieties. The pork and mushroom dumplings were rich and deeply savory, but the real standout was the chicken and corn, absolutely packed with flavor and perfectly executed. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice, which exceeded expectations. It featured plentiful, full-sized shrimp and a generous portion size that makes it incredibly easy to share. Between the excellent food and the lively atmosphere, we had a great experience and will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

By myself, just as they opened. Sat at the bar. Outdoor seating but not open yet ~ Warmer weather is on the way. The bartender was really nice. Only had water but she always had her eye on me and wasn't giving me the stink eye because I didn't order alcohol. Seaweed salad was good, lil sweet for me but great fresh texture. Pork/ shrimp steamed dumplings were okay. Looked really pretty. My chicken lomein was good too. Nothing special, lil runny but maybe it's just me who Prefers it more dry so I can grab it with my chopsticks. read more

In town visiting a friend and she recommended we try this place as it's one of her favorite spots. We showed up around 5:30ish on New Year's Eve and were told it would be about a 20 minute wait. We decided to go next door to get a drink and I think the table was ready even before the 20 minutes which was nice. When we got back to the restaurant we were immediately sat. I love the concept of marking off what you want on the menu. The servers come around often if you want to order more or need anything else. The food comes out sort of slowly, which is nice cause the tables are sort of small (in a 2 person situation) so it's hard to fit everything at once or try everything at once. Everything I tried was delicious. I wish I came here with more people so I could try more of it. read more

Food and service are great, the Cajun dumplings are incredible. Would definitely recommend

Some amazing Asian food! Yes! I am so happy we found this place. I would recommend it! We got takeout and ordered online. We ordered 3 items: 1. Beef pancake rolls: so good!!! I love the giant crunchy cucumber. Love the flavor, beef was tender 2. Pan fried pork buns: amazing!! Juicy and tender and such good flavor 3. chicken lo mein: While the color of the dish was not appealing, it actually tasted quite nice. It has good flavor and wasn't overly salty I honestly wasn't expecting too much but this place surprised me so much! If you're in the mood for some Chinese food, I would totally go. Also, fun fact, this location has slightly higher prices than the Aurora location (at least for the dishes we ordered). read more

We came here on a Sunday evening. It was consistently busy but the server was very nice in recommending what to order. They take reservations for 6+. What we swallowed: *EDAMAMAE *SEAWEED SALAD *SPICY CUCUMBER SALAD *CHINESE BROCCOLI *CRISPY SHRIMP *FRIED CALAMARI *XLB *PAN FRIED DUMPLINGS *SZECHUAN CHICKEN *TRUFFLE DUMPLINGS Everything we had was delicious. The truffle dumplings were interesting. We did order another round of XLB as it was so tasty. Soup was delicious and the skin wasn't too thick. My daughter loved the food here and asked if we could come back. read more

Seemed to be quite popular online and was pretty busy in person as well. Wasn't too happy with the long wait between when I was seated and when I actually had someone come to my table (about 10 minutes). My server also wasn't the best, however all the others I observed seemed really helpful and friendly. Definitely a unique experience, and the quality of their food seemed good as well. read more

I called ahead and was seated immediately without waiting at this location on a Sunday night. The parking lot is huge too unlike the other location which was an 1-1.5 hr wait. For food, I got Xiao long bao 4/5 were alright. They weren't too unique like other ones I had such as DTF or Paradise Dynasty. The shell is not too thick. Vegetable egg rolls 5/5 though like Panda Express. They were crispy and I have no complaint. Green beans 5/5 were so delicious with great flavor, not too spicy. The green beans were crunchy too. Truffle xiao long bao 3/5. My friend liked it but I couldn't taste the truffle. I had more truffle flavored xiao long bao from Costco. Red sea chili wonton 5/5. The sauce was perfect for these pork and shrimp wontons. Chicken and corn pan fried dumplings 5/5 were great too. I love the corn inside fillings. Beef chili 3/5 was so spicy. But I saw more seasonings than blade-thin beef. Pan fried pork bao 5/5 was delicious. They were crispy and not too fill of carbs. The filling was plenty. Salted egg yolk bun 5/5 came steamingly hot. I have my share of these buns. The ones here have coconut flakes outside which was more unique. Service was outstanding. The water chugs were included. I drank too much water and would hate waiting for refill. The food was served so fast too. read more

Definitely a pricier fusion restaurant, but wow every item here was a hit! Most dishes' portions are on the smaller end. Drinks were beautiful and strong. Did not have to wait on Thursday night at 8pm but the restaurant was still quite full. I'd recommend: - stir fry udon - our favorite, such a great wok flavor! the flavor specifically reminds me of fishball with roe for some reason. - stir fried green beans - definitely has a fishier smell / taste, but i loved it - red sea wontons - thumpblings just ok: - beef pancake rolls - black bean spare ribs - XLBs we ended up paying around $90 per person including drinks, which was more than i hoped to pay, but we left very full! definitely highly recommend for a special occasion. service and ambiance was nice. read more

We're coming back for the firecrackers alone! Nana's dim sum offers incredible traditional and fusion options you'd find most places, but with unique twists and proprietary flavors. The interior is decked out in red and gold, this spot definitely reads more as a dinner restaurant. Service is typical for dim sum or sushi, a dry erase menu and marker for each table, no real dedicated table service but a team effort. I'm really just writing this review to talk about, you guessed it, the firecracker appetizer. HOLY COW! It's like a jalepeno popper and a crab rangoon had a love child that's more delicious than both. These were so good, we ordered a second round to take with us to go! You've got to try this spot for these alone. read more

This place is poppin' for a reason! Food is solid. I recommend the pork pan fried dumplings, chili wontons, king truffle mushrooms. I was disappointed by the soup, the shrimp crystal dumplings were pretty average. I'd like to try their giant crab rangoons! Seems like they have a great happy hour. It's a little dark in there, but I won't complain. Service is prompt. The price point is high for what it is, but that's Denver I guess. read more

We love Nana's! The food is delicious, I love the thumblings, soup dumplings, green beans, and the beef pancake rolls, although everything we've tried has been insanely good. Service is always fast and friendly, and it's such a cute, fun spot to eat. read more

This place is always hopping so it's been hard for us to make priority out of going here. However, it was a Friday night and we had already set on ordering takeout, and it turns out this was a great option. I can only assume that the fact that it's dim sum means that they've just got a ton of this stuff on hand and we placed our order it was definitely the busiest time of the night, but it was ready in 20 minutes. Got everything home, it was packed very conveniently for takeout, still hot, still great. Everything was amazing. I'm not gonna recommend anything in particular because it's dim sum. You should order everything you should try everything it's worth it. Nothing was bad. When I'm eating dim sum I want to be impulsive and just eat whatever's in front of me and you can do this with this menu. Now I did go into the restaurant to pick up my order and I will say ambience was very cool, I really would like to come back and actually di e i . It seemed like it would be a great experience. read more

Everything is mostly small plates which is perfect for sharing! You mark what you want on the menu and they slowly bring things out in courses. Everything we tried was delicious but my favorites were the green beans and the spicy chicken soup Dumplings! Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. I loved the decor and that the tables were close together, you socialize with your neighbors and ask what each other is eating! As an out of towner I really loved everything about it here. read more

Second time trying Nana's. For a place that has dim sum and dumplings in its restaurant name, I thought the the beef noodle soup was the highlight, nice recovery home feel soup after an all nighter. Hit the spot. Overall overpriced for the taste and quality of the dumplings. If you need a quick fix it's tolerable. Red chili wontons were not spicy at all. Shu mai was average. The black vinegar helped with the flavor for most of the dumplings dishes. Automatic service charge of 20% for large group. Small print hides the charge for chef appreciation too which seemed very sneaky but they were able to removed if asked. Mainly street parking around this area. Ambiance was causal. read more

I came here with two friends on Saturday at 5:30 pm and was glad we didn't have to wait, after reading reviews about long wait times. We were seated at a high table in the bar area, which ended up being a little tight with all the dishes we got. The server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu - he made excellent recommendations on drinks and food. There is a dim sum menu where you mark the quantity you want and scan a QR code for the menu with pictures and prices. There is also an allergy menu on that version of the menu, which I didn't see on their regular website. We ordered many dishes to try: -Spicy cucumber salad ($10) - so crisp and refreshing, one of my favorites! -Szechuan chicken ($14) - crispy with some spice, but a little greasy -Beef pancake roll ($16) - really good but could've had more beef -Stir fried green beans ($20) - the price on this is insane. They're good but a bit too salty for my taste. -Shu mai ($8) - classic -Fried sesame balls ($8) - these are mini balls with red bean filling, also on of my favorites -Pan fried dumpling roulette ($17) - delicious but I'm not sure which one I ate -Xiao long soup buns ($13) - the broth was hot and flavorful, one of the best I've had around the area It was easy to over order here since everything sounded so good. We were stuffed afterwards with some leftovers. I think going with 3-4 people is perfect to share many dishes without having to order doubles. I normally eat at the regular dim sum restaurants, but this was a really fun experience as well as a little more upscale. read more

Alert to all dumpling lovers! Did you know Nana's offers a dumpling making class?! It is just as magical as it sounds. They teach you how to create their pork and chive dumplings and in different shapes. P.S. I have a whole new appreciation for the ladies making dumplings in the back. It took me nearly 30 minutes to make the 8 dumplings in the pictures. The class was awesome. After the class they cook your dumplings for you and you get to enjoy your creations! Of course we ordered some of their amazing dumplings off the menu as well to compliment our homemade versions. Highly recommend checking this out! read more

First time to this location, but have been to their outpost in Aurora a few times. Definitely a different vibe, with loud techno music and high noise levels from the crowd. 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. read more

This place definitely had pretty fresh food and quality ingredients. Some of the flavors were just a little off for my liking but that's not because of their ingredients.

Wow - this place has it all! The vibe as soon as you walk in is fun and well decorated, with Chinese motifs throughout. We were quoted 45 minutes to an hour for the wait (around 8:15 on a Friday), but we ended up only waiting about ten minutes before our table was ready. Once we were sat, our server Matt was attentive and took our drink order quickly. I got the Lychee Dynasty (essentially a Lychee paloma) which was lovely - it came with a cute flower garnish, which made for an even more Instagram-worthy date. Now for the food - absolutely unreal. We got the pan friend shrimp & pork dumplings, the spicy chicken soup dumplings, and the barbecue buns, all of which we would absolutely order again. We'll be back soon! read more

Authentic-ish. Chinese inspired dishes that hark back to their roots, but definitely modified for the American palette.

Stumbled into Nana's Dim Sum & Dumplings on a Saturday night with some friends and left in a dumpling-induced state of bliss. I'm not saying we licked the plates, but I'm also not saying we didn't. The soup dumplings? Little pockets of joy. The scallion pancakes? Gone faster than my willpower on cheat day. The service was smoother than a bamboo steamer--friendly, fast, and totally unflappable, even with our mildly chaotic group. The vibe? Just the right mix of lively and laid-back, perfect for catching up or plotting your next meal here. Nana's is that rare combo of crave-worthy food and actually fun atmosphere. 12/10, would fight a dragon for another round of dumplings. read more

Definitely a cool spot for a date in terms of vibe. Their happy hour is a good value for money play and starts from 4 and goes till 5:30p. That being said, the food was decent but lacked the culinary inspiration of higher profile dim sum joints on the west coast. The dishes were all decent but nothing blew us away. Service was ok; felt a little bit upsold. But happy hour portions were massive. I think the food is fine but I would try somewhere new next time. Love the red color scheme and the dragons though. read more

I had the most amazing night at dinner here! My husband and I decided to go here for date night on a Friday night. We put ourselves on the waitlist while we drove over from Littleton, and by the time we got there we had only moved a few places, but no matter it was well worth the wait! After about an hour of waiting we got our table. We ordered WAY too much food but it was all so delicious. Each one of the soup dumplings were delicious and flavorful. The green beans and spicy cucumber salad were the best I have ever had! The service was also attentive and very quick. We left feeling so full and happy. read more

It's always a good time at Nana's. My girlfriends and I dine here often for the good food and the good vibes. The menu is packed with traditional Chinese dishes with a fusion twist. Several different types of dumplings to choose from - the Xiao Long Buns (soup dumplings) are a must! Along with those, green beans, mushrooms, any noodle dishes, chicken feet and the red chilli wontons are always on order. Definitely pricier than other places, but worth it for the ambiance and experience. There are also menu of unique mixed drinks, my favorite is the Lychee Dynasty. The servers are always fun and friendly, even on a packed night. The wait time for a table has been about an hour each time we've gone, so make sure you join the waitlist before heading in. read more

SO DELICIOUS! Every single dumpling and dish were exquisite. I really like the vibe/ambiance of this restaurant. It is kind of dark inside, but it has a very modern hip Asia vibe. The servers were kind and helpful with my questions. I did have to wait about 45 mins for a table but it was well worth it. The place was packed! Warning - ALL of the food came out very hot. The green beans were so well seasoned and perfectly cooked - I ordered another after demolishing my first order of it. The pan fried pork buns were so juicy and perfectly fried. Soft yet crunchy. Chicken feet were soft and plump. The soup dumplings were well flavored. Sesame balls had red bean in them; nice subtle dessert. Better than the mochi, in my opinion. Literally, every dish was so tasty. I will definitely be returning here everytime im in town, which is quite often :) read more

We're happily working our way through this entire menu. I haven't come across anything I don't like yet. And options like the dumpling roulette allow you to try several things in one dish, which makes me very, very happy. This is also one of the places where the more people you are dining with, the better your experience will be, IMO. And that's not the case everywhere. Having a big table allows you to nosh on a large variety of dishes without a huge commitment to any one thing. (That being said, I love the bar here. So if you are a single or couple. That's a great option to snag a seat on a busy night.) So explore and go wild. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you are, feel free to tell me I was wrong. The tempura shrimp are one of my absolute faves. They are wrapped in this lacey fried heaven of a wrapping that can't be beat. Go early, be prepared to wait, or go with a group big enough for a reservation. Summer is great for the outdoor space. read more

Nana's has been such a hit in the neighborhood. So glad to have a trendy dim sum place near downtown. With that said , the food is authentic and delicious, I feel slightly over priced for the portions , with the exception of the fried rice, chili dumplings dish is amazing. And the chicken tenders The ambiance is fun and lively , well decorated / themed. The service is pretty mids , I've dined maybe dozen times including ordering take out a few times. And the 2 hrs time limit Is a real Turn off . The host / managers need to change that policy . Secondly , they seem understaffed . The waiters are always racing around and just not enough staff to support the number of Patrons . Customer should Not have to Get attention of waiter/ server. The waiter should be checking in after orders taken That is my only criticism , I would've ordered more drinks last time I was there had they asked me if I wanted one. Pics from last time I ordered take out . Again food is delicious and true to taste /origin. read more
