I'm skeptical of how this place is ranked the as the #1 spot. I tend to believe someone is rating this place that's not actually eating there. I ordered the Soup Dumpling combo. Egg drop soup, fried rice and the dumplings. Soup was ok, rice was blah, and the dumplings just didn't taste fresh at all. I really wanted this to be as good as the photos and reviews, but it just wasn't. Expectations vs reality. read more

In a city with lots of substandard Asian food, Chopstickers is a surprising gem! Great home-y vibe with handmade dumplings, try the pan fried ones! Their fried rice was so so, but their egg drop soup was great!! Worth venturing here if you're in the area! read more

Chopstickers is a must if you love dumplings and amazing service! Way better than Din Tai Fung, a lot of flavor, great price, and absolutely the best service. "Mom and Pop" type shop served from the sweetest couple! read more

I'm from California visiting for work, and I seen this place on yelp and had to try them out! 10/10 hands down. The food is very authentic, the flavors are combined well. The spice is there but not too overwhelming. Whenever I come back to Denver, this will be my go to spot! read more

The setting is very casual yet the serving pieces are much better than take out. Real bowls and chopsticks. Plenty of seating. We enjoyed nap, potstickers, and soup. All delicious. Prices are very reasonable. Very friendly counter service and wait service. Got extra to go because it was so tasty. read more

Chopstickers - Pork Belly Buns - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Convenient location in downtown Denver. I had dan dan noodle for takeout. The service by a cashier lady was very nice. The noodle was well packaged and fresh. The price is very reasonable for the portion and quality! I would go back again to try some other items on their menu. read more

Small shop with authentic taste! Located in downtown, there is a parking garage nearly next door that starts at $7. Super convenient! Walking in, you seat yourself and then get in line to order at the counter. Everything was reasonably priced, except maybe the rainbow rice. It was a very small bowl for $11. But we were able to share everything we ordered as it is family style Food: the water fried shrimp dumplings were my least favorite. The taste was just too strong for me but it wasn't terrible so give it a try! Bao buns were 3 for $8!! I'll order them every time with a bit more sauce. Excellent pork portion for the price The pork water fried dumpling was the best! A definite must order. Soft dewy outside and tender meatball inside Though the rainbow rice was pricy, it was absolutely delicious! All in all, I'd like to go back and try the other menu items Pork dumpling read more

The food was really good. The dandan noodles, so tasty, full of flavor. They have hot oil on every table, don't need to ask for it. Service was good and although busy, I got my food in a reasonable time. Very good I would recommend it. read more

Ordering at the counter was easy. They give you a table number and bring the food to you. I got soup dumplings and pork belly buns. Soup dumplings were decent (but I also have high standards, because I've had better, e.g. Din Tai Fung, of course, I don't expect that level of excellence here). Pork belly were ok. Honestly my husband's homemade ones were better. Verdict: good enough if you are craving Chinese street food and don't want to sit down at a formal restaurant. Good for eating alone but also with a group. read more

Service was fast. Order at the counter and grab a seat. They'll bring the food to you. Very casual and cozy vibes. We grabbed a small taster lunch and split beef potstickers, shrimp chive water fried Bao and soup dumpling amongst 3 people and it was plenty of food. Beef potstickers were hefty and moist. A little to heavy/oil for me but still very good. The soup dumplings kind of stuck on the edged to each other and would tear open so we lost a lot of the soup. My favorite was the shrimp chive water fried bao. The bottom was crispy, the dough was fluffy and the chives were refreshing and flavorful. I would come back for these! read more

Chopstickers was a quick stop for me and my girlfriend before heading to meow wolf. Honestly a great stop for a quick bite and the prices were great. It's more of a grab and go spot that we don't have similar here in NY. Only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the bao buns could've had more meat in it and it was super doughy. Everything else was good and would still recommend stopping here. read more

This place is sooooo good - Asian comfort food for sure. The beef noodle soup was savory, just the right amount of spice and the noodles tasted handmade (maybe they are, but I can't confirm.) The bao and potstickers were both equally delicious in their own right. We loved this little place right around the corner from our hotel and will definitely visit again next time in Denver. Also, the service was amazing! The young lady at the counter was so sweet to my children and took really great care of us. read more

Had a break and decided to walk over to this place to get a bite in before returning to work. The place is nice and casual. The service was decent and staff was nice. Their menu is displayed, make your order(s), pay, take a table number if dining in, and they bring out your food. I didn't wait too long. My order of the pork belly buns came out first. They were decent and tender. Then, the soup dumplings. I liked the thickness of the dumpling wrap but I did not like the broth of the dumpling. It was more on the saltier side and the broth was a little thick. I couldn't manage to finish them. Overall, the presentation was nice. I have had better pork belly buns and soup dumplings. This place is not for me but maybe for others. read more

My potstickers were amazing! And the staff were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely come here again.

I found this amazing place while in town for conference. I tried Beef noodle and soup dumplings on my visit first. It was such a surprisingly good experience. I went back the second day, I tried Dandan noodles and pork potstickers. Each dishes are very delicious and well made. The restaurant is clean and waitress is friendly. I'd definitely go back when I visit downtown Denver again. read more

Had some issues with the DoorDash delivery, but the food was excellent. I had the woodear mushroom salad and it was phenomenal. I would come back for it anytime. Very strong flavors of garlic, ginger, some mild heat but not overpowering. I also had the pork potstickers. Great texture even after some doordash issues. Good flavor. The pork consistency was a little chewy and in a ball for most instead of getting pork in each bite, but a minor issue. Flavor was great and I really appreciated the chili oil side sauce. read more

Food was bland, very disappointed given the rating we saw so we figured we would try it. The workers were trying but the place was a bit dirty and disorganized. It was fine, but not great read more

Always fresh and fast. Great attentive crew and affordable. Fantastic soup dumpling!!!

In search of something quick, delicious and tasty we stumbled upon this new business in d/t Denver. Everything we ordered met the three things we were looking for!

Ambiance: cozy Asian themed restaurant with two person tables. There are bigger tables but mainly two. The service is fast and well mannered. They know what food is good so you can ask them about recommendations. The pot stickers were delicious, perfectly cooked with the perfect sear. The Dan Dan noodles are their most ordered item. It is jam packed with flavor so if you order it be prepared for a burst of flavor read more

One of the best Chinese food we have had hands down! We are vegetarians and were pleased to find vegan options in each of their offerings, be it appetizers, bao, noodles or fried rice. We were ravenous by the time we landed in Denver and checked into the hotel. We ordered the vegan steamed bao, wood ear mushrooms, edamame, fried rice and the vegan Dan Dan. The wood ear mushrooms were out of this world, the flavourful sauce they sat in served as a delicious condiment to go with all the other dishes well after the mushrooms were polished off. The chilli oil available on each table lends that smoky mouthfeel without being overly spicy This was one of the few places that makes their own vegan bao, and the stuffing of mushrooms, carrots and rice noodles were very satisfying. A must-visit for vegetarians and vegans craving for authentic street-style Chinese food!! read more

I am disappointed since the soup dumplings and chicken potstickers had such an awesome flavor and I can tell the effort that went into the cooking. However, my reason for a negative review is due to the horrific bathroom, the nastiest smelling bathroom I that I couldn't even go inside it. You could smell feces the moment you walk to the back which is not a smell you want prior to eating. When I told the employee, no one went to the back to check and blamed the other business they share the bathroom with. But those are literally your bathrooms too? It was very difficult to enjoy my food after that. read more

I absolutely had a blast at this place. Chopstickers delivers an authentic experience and I couldn't ask for more. THE BAO: Just incredible. The pan fried baos are cooked to perfection. The breading is not too bready and gives away at a perfect texture. The meat on the inside is seasoned very well and the taste is perfect. SOUP DUMPLINGS: Sometimes there is only a little soup inside soup dumplings, however, this place knew what it was doing but supplying a great amount of soup on the inside. The taste is one again fantastic and the meat is perfect. The texture gives you a nice and giving bite while the flavors rush into your mouth. PORTION SIZES: You will definitely be full with a single order of bao. They give you generous portions and so not shy away from giving you a perfect experience. I will be coming here again as this spot deserves much praise. Not only is it affordable, it also delivers an incredible experience from the service, setting, and most importantly the authenticity of the food. read more

Absolutely horrible place. Imagine going to a dumplings and noodles place and the whole freaking restaurant are out of everything but one type of dumpling. So if you dont eat pork dumplings, go f***k yourself i guess. 0/10 do not recommend at all read more

Chopstickers offers a solid spot for dumpling lovers in Denver, and I had a pretty good experience overall. The soup dumplings were the highlight of my meal--delicate wrappers and filled with plenty of flavorful broth. Although the flavor leaned a bit heavy on the white pepper, the dumplings were well-crafted and enjoyable. I also tried the beef noodle soup, and while the beef was tender and the noodles cooked perfectly, the broth was a bit on the mild side for my taste. That said, it still made for a hearty lunch option. It's a smaller space and I came during the lunch rush and it was bustling. What really stood out was the quick service, especially during the lunch rush. Even with a packed house, the food arrived promptly, which was much appreciated when I was on a tight schedule. Overall, Chopstickers offers great value, with fresh, handmade dumplings and fast service. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're craving dumplings during a busy lunch break. read more

Service was great but food is very mediocre. Unfortunately I enjoy Trader Joe's frozen soup dumplings more than theirs. I had that and the shrimp dumplings which were not dumplings but buns. The seaweed salad was tasty. That was the best thing I got. read more

I cannot begin to Descible how amazing Chopstickers is. It is truly the best food for lunch or dinner downtown. Family owner, amazing service, and consistently the best food available on 16th street. I typically get the Pork Belly and Rice. I can confidently tell you as a 250lb man from the MidWest, that this is the best pork belly I've ever had. I try and make it in once per week. It is truly that amazing. Beyond the service and food, the price is more than reasonable. Lunch for under $12! You are blowing it if you don't eat here, or at least try it out. I promise you won't be disappointed. Until next week read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Nothing fancy but clean inside. Easy to order at the counter and then are given a number where they bring your food out to you. Soup dumplings were decent. Not a huge amount of broth and the broth was just lukewarm which was disappointing. The pork gyoza was ok. Needed a sauce. Good option for fast casual in the city center. read more
