The food was incredible!!! Also, my serving of chicken fried rice fed me for two days, and never stopped rocking! I ordered at the kiosk and picked up my food. The ordering process was simple, but it seems like they may still be ironing out the kinks of their notification service. So excited this is a new option close to me- will definitely be going back! read more

Great food and excellent service! This is one of the more unique restaurants in the area, which was badly needed!

My husband and I just stopped in for lunch. Waitstaff promptly attended to us. Between the speed at which our food was prepared and the waiters, everything was rather quick. The restaurant is brightly lit, clean, and runs smoothly. Now, onto the food...oh my. Pork chive dumplings, original soup dumplings, and shrimp sui mai (apologize for misspelling). All of it was so savory and came out steaming hot. Love love loved it. Absolutely will be back. Probably again and again and again. read more

Stopped in for lunch and ordered some items to share as a family. We ordered a salt and pepper shrimp, stir fry rice with shrimp, a speciality Xiao Long Bao . I also ordered an egg drop soup and a a chili oil dumpling. Service was quick but we got to the place when it was busy and we didn't get refills on our water. Small restaurant that was in a strip mall but quite honestly I would probably pass next round. read more

We decided to have dinner at Sam's because they served cartoon buns on the kids menu and we thought our toddler would love that. We walked in around 6pm and was sat within a few minutes. We ordered a bowl of egg drop soup, original xiao long bao, and tan tan noodles. While we waited for the food, they had what looked to be an open kitchen where the staff were making xiao long baos and dumplings live or to order. Being from Southern California and having eaten at many restaurants that serve similar dishes, the food was ok in my opinion. It's possible I had high expectations when comparing the flavors. Our toddler enjoyed the giraffe cartoon buns, steamed broccoli, and xiao long baos. The bowl of egg drop soup was ok and a bit salty for me. The xiao long baos had a thin dough wrap, which is a huge plus! The flavor of the xiao long bao filling was decent, although a little watery and loose for my liking. The tan tan noodles had a nice light spicy kick and the noodles tasted like it was homemade because there was a bit of bounce with every bite. The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, and no issues with parking as they shared a huge parking lot with other businesses. read more

We came in starving at 3:00pm. We were so happy the food came so quickly! We started with cucumber salad, which could have used a little more flavor. I've had it at other dumpling places and so I was expecting a hint of sweetness but this one didn't. We got two kinds for xiao long bao-original and "specialty" and some chicken cabbage pan fried dumplings as well. The XLB dumplings were flavorful. The "pan fried" dumplings seemed to be deep fried, not pan fried, which dried them out a bit. Overall we had a pretty good late lunch. They have a lunch special where you get 1 starter, 1 soup, 1 and one entree for $20. We didn't do it though. We decided we would go again sometime if we are in the area. read more

My first time here and I was greeter met me immediately. It was very clean and neat. They were preparing for the day and I got to watch them get ready. They use colored dough for various dishes and the colors identify what's inside. Pork, crab, prawn, chili, and various vegetables. Excellent food and I'll definitely come back. read more

We arrived shortly after opening to smiles from the staff. The restaurant was brightly lit with the sun shining through the windows. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. We decided on the Pork Belly Bun, Pork & Chive Dumplings, plus a few others. We had the opportunity to watch them make their dumplings by hand, which added to the experience. Even though they had only been open a couple of weeks, they were almost packed when we left. read more

Originally coming for Scenthound and Yogurtland but happened upon this place. The ambiance has a typical cafe vibe with fast service and a to-go kiosk at the front. Small area of tables, but super speedy as best as they can be. Now the food is what truly brought me in since I love soup dumplings. One thing I love is a thin skin wrapper which is hard with soup dumplings. Now here is what we ordered: 1. Original Xiao Long Bao: soupy and steamy! However about half of the baos were broken when you picked them up. Good flavor 2. Corn Xiao Long Bao: i loved actually having corn and the flavor shine through. The corn wrapper was thinner then the original and did tend to break as well, but so good! 3. Pork and Chive Dumpling in Chili Oil: these dumplings have such a strong flavor on their own but was enhanced with the chili oil. 4. Green Beans with Pork: typically I like the garlic but the pork was seasoned to perfection and was such a salty bite. Overall service was quick! and delicious. The food was very flavorful and on point. The knock of the star was truly just price point. I wish they would allow the small order of dumplings during the weekend since it would've been nice to try more options, but the dumplings were great! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sam's Dumpling Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

My niece and I had a great lunch here and tried three different dumplings, miso soup and some egg rolls. This is just the place to scratch your dumpling craving. The service is fast and friendly and they understand that you are already starving by the time you get here. They hustle with your order and present it with a cool flourish. It's a great place for a lowkey lunch. It was a reasonable price for 2 with a 25% tip. read more

Yum! Their dumpling selection is excellent but we preferred their regular dumplings over the soup dumplings personally. We also particularly liked their Mapo Tofu! We will definitely be back! read more

This place is good. The Shrimp Shumai is the best my wife has ever had, according to her. I really, really like the Vegetable dumplings and the egg rolls are delicious also. I'm not a fan of the fried rice - too sweet for my taste - but everyone else here loves it. We haven't dined in yet, but the place is pleasant, though usually packed. Very friendly service when we pick up our order. Looking forward to more! read more

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! read more

Service was excellent! Literally I dropped a chopstick and a nice waiter came and handed me a new one almost immediately. Food came out quick and they were kind. Food was freshly made- when we walked in we could see them preparing a big bowl of filling. Cucumber salad was my favorite with a garlic chili sauce. Dumplings were all great too. Nice atmosphere- clean. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was great. The soup dumplings were delicious. Best I've ever had. Skip the Bao buns so you can eat more soup dumplings

We were excited to try this place, but kinda disappointed. We live in Aurora and there are sooo many amazing Chinese and dumpling places, so I guess we're spoiled. The dumplings were a little understeamed so slightly chewy. Not bad, just not great. We thought there would be more dim sum offerings too, but not many. The buns were not great. My least fav thing. The taro one was strange - not in a good way. The insides were solid kinda. Very odd. The service was slow. They were super busy and only had maybe two waitresses. This sounds nitpick-y, but it was also really loud in the restaurant for some reason. Talk noise. We came with 6 people and I couldn't hear my mom across the table. This was a hard three star for us. read more

The dumplings were decent, but nothing memorable, especially for the price. The quality and portions didn't quite match the cost, and overall the food felt a bit underwhelming. That said, if you're in the neighborhood and craving dumplings, it's a convenient option that can still satisfy the craving. read more

First time we visited, we ordered our food to go. Definitely recommend dining in since you get the whole dumpling experience. Nothing special with the decor but a warm and friendly greeting upon arrival. It was a Sunday at lunchtime so it was pretty busy. We definitely enjoyed and recommend the Pan Fried Beef Dumplings, Szechuan Xiao Long Bao, and Pork and Cabbage Dumpling in Chili Oil. Didn't love the Pork Shumai. I am sure we will be back again. read more

Best asian food in the area. Great dumplings, kung pao chicken, and cheese wontons. Will be back!

Authentic Chinese food! We went there twice in a week we were in Littleton. First time we had Mapo tofu, cucumber salad, beef stew with rice, because we saw the pictures looked authentic so we wanted to try even though this is a dumpling house. The food was very good! Second time we went last night. We had dumpling with chili oil, hot and sour soup, shrimp with vegetables, cucumber salad. They are all very good! The shrimps were more like prawns, and they were fresh and very tasty. The hot and sour soup was on point, and dumplings were very good. The only minor things I would improve are: better rice, and add garlic on the cucumber salad to enhance the flavor. I am impressed with the dumpling shop here! We didn't take pictures. read more

The braised beef noodle is truly undefeated, comforting beef soup with perfectly textured noodles and the beef is incredibly tender. Must try signature and original dumplings, authentic and yummy. The price and portion are very reasonable, definitely come back for quality food. read more

We've tried a number of local dumpling shops and thought this one was one of if not the best. They offer a variety of soup dumplings, handmade on the premises and generously filled. We had the flavorful pork and shrimp combo served steaming hot in a bamboo basket, adding authenticity. Barbecued pork buns and shrimp shumai both winners. Also enjoyed the pork and crab meat dumplings and the mildly spicy cucumber salad. Already very popular. Crazy busy at 6 PM on a Sunday but wait staff really hustled and were very friendly. Much less busy by 7 PM. Surprisingly extensive menu for such a tiny place. We had a reservation, but wasn't clear if it actually counted for much. read more
