    For all the hype reviews, I definitely expected more from their food! Malaysian noodles needed more flavor, brussel sprouts were kinda soggy. Beef skewers and donuts were great though

    I made it much more eventful than needed, but thanks to the staff and the other patrons that helped. With that being said, there is not a better dumpling in the country than the French onion soup and General Tso as well. The food is amazing and we eat here every time in Denver.

    We enjoyed our meal and our waiter was helpful and friendly. This was the first time my husband and I have eaten the soup dumplings and they were very good. The brussels sprouts were my favorite. I was not overly fond of my cocktail, (moscow mule) so that is my only negative comment, but I did not order a specialty cocktail, so I would rethink that next time or just stick to wine. I would definitely dine here again! Great place to go before a hockey or basketball game as it is walkable from Ball Arena.

    Food was good as usual. Waitstaff was very attentive. The hostess, unfortunately had some attitude, which was the only negative of the evening.
