    Cartoon buns from the kids menu
    Marco Z.

    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.

    Special XLB (crab, prawns, Chinese cheese, corn, spinach).

    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.

    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.

    Pork Dumplings in Chili Oil

    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.

    Signature dumplings
    Erica G.

    Loved both the food and service at Sam's Dumpling Kitchen. Went there for lunch the other week and we had a great experience. Their lunch specials are excellent ($20 for three courses) and I got their signature dumpling plate as my main entree, the egg drop soup and the crab rangoon. All the food came out quickly and it was soooo much food, I brought some home. Highly recommend!

    Green Beans with Minced Pork
    Victoria K.

    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!

    Clean quaint and quality new dumpling kitchen in centennial this place is tasty affordable and a treat to dine at, the soup and the pork buns came out swiftly holding me over before I proceeded to eat 20 soup dumplings in less than 5 minutes, the server was astonished and so sweet. So welcoming and delicious this place is marvelous, sharing my name sake I'm proud of this Sam and his dumpling restaurant well done

    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!

    Shrimp shumai
    Krista S.

    Great food. It was super busy, but we felt totally taken care of. Look forward to returning soon.

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.

That's exactly what happened at East Moon. The menu is huge. Sushi, ramen, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese dishes... basically something for whatever mood you're in. Usually when a restaurant tries to do that many things, something suffers. That wasn't the case here. The sushi nachos were easily my favorite thing we ordered. Honestly, I could've made a meal out of those alone. The combination of fish, mango, avocado, sauces, and crispy wonton chips just worked. We also ordered gyoza, beef pad thai, a Hawaiian Dragon Roll, sashimi ceviche, and tonkotsu ramen. Everyone at the table had a different favorite, which is usually a pretty good sign. The service was also genuinely friendly, which always makes a difference. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a little bit of everything.

HUGE HUGE SELECTION! Im not excactly sure which cuisine it is at first, I believe Taiwanese? Ive picked up some dishes were vietnamese too, like they had Bo Ne, but we didnt end up ordering it, we definetely will have to next time!! Place wasnt too busy and we were greated right away and seated. Everything was clean and organized, we were given I believed iced jasmine or black tea instead of water which was new but in a good way! It was a delicious drink! Will take a picture of the mnu next time, but everything is explained well and the me u is easy to read as well. You can easily chiose your soice level as well as any allergies you might have. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and made sure to ask us how we prefered everything and made good recommendations.Service was quick and friendly and we were checked in regularly! We ordered: "Popcorn Chicken" 3/5 NOT a huge fan of popcorn chicken at all as I always find it dry and wasnt my choice of order but I was suprised! Its a lot more moist and fresh than I thought and the sauce that came with it really complimented the dish! HUGE PORTION TOO!!! Will definetely order next time as well! "Lemongrass Beef Sizzling Ribs" 5/5 This was my most favorite dish, it came in pipping hot and sizzling on a hot skillet! Our server did table service and mixed it for us nicely to enjoy, kind if reminds me of Gyukakus beef rib rice dish as well! The meat is nice and tender, marinated and grilled to perfection. The fried rice mixed with the cheese and onions were perfect combinated with the meat. Its insanely delicious and if you havent ordered it, youre respectfully insane. "Tonkatsu" 4.5/5 There are so many options to their hotpots but we decided to stay basic, we will definetely try the other broths next time! The broth was insanely delicious! Each hotpots come with plenty proteins/veggies. Ours came with lettuce, different tofus, sliced beef, ?fish cake?, immation crab, clams, and more. We have also ordered Taro Milk Tea and Strawberry Creme at the end which tasted so fresh and delicious. It definetely wasnt too sweet, it was just perfect. Im glad we saved room for the drinks hehe. Price was fair for all the food we ordered, everything had good portions and we could even share one main dish perfectly. Tasty Pot offers hearth, fresh, and insanely delicious food with great service! Do not be alarmed if you are not too familiar with cuisine as the staff will help you out and make good recommendations! Will definetely be coming back regularly!

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.
