    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Came in on a pretty busy Friday night around 6:00pm. Street or lot parking! Seated quickly, service…read morewas great, and always clean. I am so glad that they are so consistent and have not changed recipes or adjusted seasonings. Ordered our two favorites - pickled pepper beef and mapo tofu. Then the string beans and a new dish - sauerkraut fish filet. The sauerkraut fish filet reminded me of the Vietnamese catfish soup but no sweetness added. Very good dish and will def order again. Also love that they have quality rice here.

    Decided to come here because I was craving Chinese food and heard good things about this place…read more Figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the fried tofu (with peppers and onions), orange chicken, fried fish fillet, and veggie delight (mixed veggies). The fried fish fillet was definitely the standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a light, tangy layer of sauce that added flavor without making it soggy. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. The fried tofu was also really solid and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The peppers and onions complemented it well without overpowering the tofu itself. The orange chicken was okay. I tend to compare orange chicken to Panda Express (probably unfair, but it's my benchmark), and this one didn't quite hit that same balance of crispiness and sauce. I think if it had a bit more meat within each piece, would be better. The mixed vegetables were decent but not something I'd order again. They felt a bit drenched in sauce and didn't have much depth in flavor. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting an elderly woman who helps out when it gets busy. She mentioned she was the former owner. She was incredibly kind, and we ended up having a really nice conversation in Mandarin. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. Otherwise, really nice venue with lots of space and tables. Waiters always refilled my water, which is a good plus. Also gave me fresh rice when I took the leftovers to go. Overall, a solid meal with a couple standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the fried fish fillet and tofu. Will be back to try their other dishes.
