This is how a business is supposed to be run, my food was taking a while and the lady gave me a free tea. Food was absolutely amazing and very nice people 10/10! Will be coming back in the future. My new favorite spot.

Steam buns had a great flavor ! Amazing texture as well. The teriyaki chicken bowl was delicious also. They’re vegetable mixed perfectly for the all together taste of the dish.

Happy dumpling is amazing! The food was delicious and they had so many options including appetizers, ramen and soups, dumplings and bao. They also had so many different boba options. The ladies were all so sweet and the food came out quickly! Will definitely be coming here to eat again soon!

Lovely ramen and dumpling spot! The soup dumplings were phenomenal and I especially recommend the spicy pork ones. These are probably the best soup dumplings I’ve found in Colorado! All of the dim sum we had was spot on and super yummy. The spicy ramen was delicious and I also liked the presentation. To top it off I got a caramel boba which was very sweet and topped off a perfect lunch!

Foods good. Tea is tasty. You can order online or in person thru their kiosk or in the counter.

There's a kiosk for ordering - especially great for new customers who may not know what they want. The machine took 3 times to take our payment (as well as the person behind us, too.) The food arrived somewhat quickly and husband liked the Meat Bao Bun. My vegetarian eggrolls were yummy and fresh.

I mean come on. Super good food in a cute lil hole in the wall spot. I got the Spicy Dumplings, Xiao Long Bao, and a Happy Lime Refresher. All was delicious, but I’m still thinking about how delicious the Spicy Dumplings were. Definitely recommend.

How have I not found this place before? Endless dumplings and hot pot? Sign me up! The food was so good. They even had an instruction video which I thought was very helpful. We got the pork broth and the spicy schezwan broths which were quite good. The spicy broth is actually not very spicy but it was delicious nonetheless. The variety of meat was ok but the vegetable selection was great. The sauce array was amazing but I worry about people accidently dropping sauces into each other. What if someone had a peanut allergy and it got into the soy sauce for example? The service was good. The staff was very friendly and checked on us often. It was quite busy when we went on a Friday night so it took some time to get seated but quickly grabbed our orders. I will be coming again because this is one of the better hot pot places in town.
