    Pork and cabbage dumplings
    Doris G.

    Service was quick and efficient. We were greeted right away and got our menus. This is a great place for lunch as they have a $20 lunch special with appetizer, soup and main. Our server was very nice and kept refilling our waters and was attentive to our needs. We ordered the hot and soup and egg drop soup, both were delicious and not overly salty. Our entrees were generous. We had pork cabbage dumplings, braised beef noodle soup with generous side of vegetables. I tasted the essence of Chinese 5 spice with reminder me of home. The beef was tender . We also had the Xiao Long bao which were great. The egg rolls were very hot as they just came out of the fryer and were crispy and delicious. II you are craving beef braised noodles or any of the other dumplings I would come here. Plenty of parking is a plus.

    Mapo tofu
    Rebecca S.

    I hate to be the fist non 5 star reviewer here but I'm going to be honest. 4 of us came here and all 4 of us know where to find the best dumplings and Chinese within a 30 minute drive. We had high hopes for this place since it's a mile away, but I'm not sure I would come back. I would say everything was good but we've had better with everything we ordered. There wasn't a single thing that blew our mind. Here is everything we ordered: - original Xiao long bao - chili oil pork dumplings - tan tan noodles - mapo tofu - edamame - noodles with pork belly - shrimp shumai Service was great and the place filled up about 20 minutes after opening.

    Mapo Tofu
    Dina I.

    Came in for the dumplings, left talking about the tofu. The mapo tofu was hands down the best dish: silky, rich, and actually memorable. This is the authentic version, make sure to save some rice to enjoy the sauce on the bottom of the plate! The wood ear mushrooms and pork belly noodles were also excellent, with great texture and flavor. The dumplings looked beautiful, especially the chili oil and soup dumplings, but didn't fully deliver, good, just not bold enough, and the spice never really showed up. Overall, worth a visit, but order strategically: tofu, mushrooms, noodles first... dumplings second.

    We had a great experience eating dinner here! We are not Chinese cuisine experts but the food seemed very authentic and fresh. We saw the dumplings being hand rolled right in the kitchen. I would say the dumplings were as good as the ones I tried at Din Tai Fung. The mapo tofu made our mouths tingly - which we looked up and found out it's because they use real sichuan peppers which are known to leave that feeling on your tongue. That's what let me know it was authentic bc I've had mapo tofu at other places and never felt that tingle. The interior is decorated very nicely with colorful lanterns and a large wall mural. It was really clean and bright inside.

    Yay!!! More Asian food in Centennial. I was impressed... as most of the dumpling places in the area have fallen very flat for me. XLB and beef noodle was better than all the competition! I didn't like the shrimp harkow... Federal is better. However... solid all around and prices were reasonable... which I am grateful for these days. Will be back soon!

    This place is a gem and no wonder they are busy. It's located in a center in a busy intersection. The decoration inside is very colorful and clean. The service is fast and it's because they fulfill online orders as well. The food comes out quick, hot and fresh. Add it with their chili oil.... Perfect combination! It's a small space so come early to avoid the rush hour time. Will be back again for sure.

    Crab Xiao Long Bao
    Brooks B.

    I've been fortunate to travel the world and had found Xiao Long Bao to be a favorite food. Imagine my surprise when visiting home here in Littleton to find a place that wasn't just good soup dumplings but VERY GOOD soup dumplings. The original and crab were both wonderful and I downed 20 myself. Already planning to come back for the rest of the menu. Family got pork with stir fried noodle and chicken stir fried rice. I got hot and sour soup to start. All of it was wonderful. It would have to be, to stand out against the immaculate restaurant and amazing staff. So glad this place is here.

    Everything is amazing and the staff is incredible! Will be making this a regular spot!

    Wow! This little place is SO amazing! I'm NOT a dumpling fan but my family and I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad we did! We got a little bit of everything and it was ALL so good. My 7yo daughter is sometimes picky and she's already asked to go back! It was very quick, clean, laid back, and just had such a great vibe. Welcome to the neighborhood Sam's Dumpling!

I liked the people, the place, the menu, the location, but honestly I paid $30 for leftovers that I can't eat. It's a shame. I've never before seen anything this greasy. The owner came out to my car after I exited and asked why I didn't like it. While I respect that, he explained that what appeared as grease was instead, sauce, and that it was flash fried. The problem is that neither the sauce nor grease had taste or spice. When I placed several pieces of beef on a napkin, they saturated the napkin with oil. Maybe it's an oily sauce? They were generous with the beef. The beef quality was pretty good, and the vegetables were unique enough to merit praise. If it were me, I would ramp up the taste quotient in either the marinade or sauce, eliminate 90% of the oil, as it's unnecessary, and add spice. This could be a healthy dish if they used avocado oil, way less oil, and reduced the salt.

They were veryyy generous and I even had to stop the staff from putting more into the plate because it was way too much food for me. This second time around was just as good and I had to basically waddle out of the restaurant after eating my food. I had ordered the plate which comes with two mains and a side. I also got my hands on a Lychee CHI sparkling water. I love how their drinks aren't a crazy upcharge. I think their fried rice (and everything I've ever gotten) has been 1000% better than any other take out Chinese fast food in Colorado. And the prices are on point. My favorite mains so far are the buddah mix which mimics my go to fried tofu stir fry from Panda Express in Hawaii. Plus the mapo tofu. The pork is perfectly seasoned and the tofu is so silky smooth. Great on top of that amazing fried rice. I will make the drive to get take out whenever I'm craving actually good Chinese fast casual food.

From the second I walked in, service was impeccable, welcoming, and helpful. Staff went above and beyond to walk me to the restroom (as it was my first time dining here), out to my patio table, and quickly brought water. Everyone was dressed up for the occasion, chandeliers were lining the interior with a gorgeous and sophisticated look, and the music was a fun K-Pop/dance vibe. Our table of three started with the Buddha Button (essentially a lemon drop martini with Deep Eddy's and a special flower that invigorates your taste buds to create a literal "party in your mouth"). Anything cold adds to the buzzing, vibrating energy; pair the flower with a cold cocktail and it's a phenomenal experience! We also had a bottle of white wine - it was to be expected: tasty. We tried the crab rangoons and thought they were a fun snack, although $21 for four rangoons was tough. I could've gone to Panda Express and gotten four for $3.99 and called it a day. Christine and I both had the Miso Sea Bass - easily the crowd favorite. Even though it was light, it was very flavorful with the sauce, mushrooms, and rice included in the meal. It was mostly filling, though charging $64 for that as the main entree is quite a big stretch. The crowd winner was our server, Maddie. She had amazing recommendations, a full understanding of the menu, and was very attentive and personable. Overall, fun experience! The price for the quantity of food makes it a dubious chance of returning, but A+ for the staff!

Technically, the person who made this decision is called, internally, the head chef, but anyone who makes such awful food is a beginner line-cook.

We came for the Indian fusion foods (amazing) but were introduced to the essence of small business pride with the owner giving a personal touch to all his guests. His story, if he shares it, inspires having a dream and bringing it to fruition from hard work and not compromising. I love establishments like this!!!!! The foodies here are cook to order, teas are made fresh as well! We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees at various degrees of spicy and every single thing was packed with unique flavor explosions. There will be an entree for anyone's taste. We tried the dessert. The portion sizes were great. We had plenty to take home. You will want to come back to explore more of the menu, there is so much on it. Now to the unexpected! We did not expect that this place would have two restaurants! A morning restaurant, the Early Bird Eatery and then the Monks Indian Fusion Cuisine! Will post pictures of our dinner meal and the breakfast Early Bird Eatery menu since this is under the Monks Yelp. The service was excellent. Expect a dining experience. Do not be in a hurry since this is truly a small business and if you are lucky will likely engage the owner. It was a cozy environment for us and dinner. I expect depending on the time and what restaurant you visit the atmosphere to shift. Definitely support and encourage him and his team! His engagement and care to his menu details, the love for what he is doing reminds me of the small businesses abroad that share their culture in the same way because he has brought such flavor to his menu. It is quite refreshing to experience this at I25 and Dry Creek. If you blink you will miss this. Don't miss it. The prices are reasonable and I can't wait to try the breakfast menu. The dinner sits very well since I am writing this review a couple hours after eating. I plan to review again as well as recommend this place to everyone. I wish Yelp would offer a "pin your fav place on your profile" option because this is the review I want people to see first. Oh, it also has a bar but we enjoyed the drinks on the dinner menu. I will be tracking this place to see what others order as this place gets discovered. It is a pretty new under two years so go support this one day or night.
