    Been here a few times it's always fast service and food come at out great. And today's visit was the best visit out of all, and enjoyed a slice of pie on the house.

    I landed in Denver and was craving some dumplings. I pulled up Yelp and decided to try Happy. Considering I'm in Denver, it was not bad at all. The dumplings were offered in multiple flavors and I ordered the sampler. I also got the curry fish all and a milk tea. Again, considering this wasn't an area with a confluence of Asians, it was not bad. Parking was easy. Casual. Indoor seating. Good service. Please come visit and create your own experience.

    Dan Dan noodles
    Jenny L.

    We ordered a couple items from their menu. Dan Dan noodles Combination xiao long bao Lotus leaf wrap stick rice Osmanthus black tea with almond pudding The Dan Dan noodles flavor tasted really good however, there wasn't enough sauce for the noodles so it was a bit dry. The combo xiao long bao came with 8 pieces with 4 different flavors. 2 pork spicy, 2 pork, 2 chicken, and 2 beef with cumin. That was said in the order of favorite to least favorite. The beef with cumin taste was really strong. I didn't like it at all. I had also asked if I could get slices of ginger to pair with my xiao long bao cuz it tastes really good with it. The chef came out and asked what it was I needed with I clarified was ginger and she said they don't have any. At first I was understanding because sometimes, they don't carry specific items. However, tell me why they had literally 2 boxes of fresh ginger near the back of the store???? Very interesting indeed. The sticky rice tasted really good. It had nice flavors and a decent amount of meat and vegetables inside. Xiao long bao = soup dumplings

    Bubble tea

    I stopped in this little, unassuming shop while shopping because I heard they had soup dumplings. Soup dumplings are still somewhat rare in the Denver area, and having this one further north was a treat. The inside is quaint, a few seats in the back and some seats by the window (where I sat) Staff was very friendly, menu was easy to read and they also have a kiosk you can order from. I loved the variety, and ordered chicken soupy dumplings, edamame, and bubble tea. Tea was good, I loved the heart jellies! Lots of cute add-ins for the drinks. Edamame was a tasty starter and the soup dumplings were, in fact, delicious. My only gripe would be that they are a little small for the price (about $2 per dumpling) Overall, this is exactly the kind of business this area needs and I'll certainly be around again when my soup dumpling cravings hit.

    I stopped at Happy Dumpling to pick up a quick bite. This is a small shop with some bar seating and a few small tables. This place is clean and the staff is friendly. My order was whipping up very quickly. As I waiting near the register I noticed they have a lot of bottle drink options as well as desserts. I'm interested in coming back to try their Matcha Mont Blanc. What I ordered: Mongolian Beef Boa buns and Teriyaki Chicken Bao Buns- steamed and delicious. The breading was moist. The filling was ample and well seasoned, I could clearly taste ginger in their sauce and it was so good. Peach oolong tea (unsweetened)- Mellow and refreshing, the peach was lovely flavor. Dagona coffee- I love the taste of coffee and this drink was well-balanced. Roasted Dalgona coffee flavor blended with milk, just enough coffee without being bitter i this was a creamy delight. If you like coffee, I recommend this drink. Creamy Mango Milk Tea- I ordered this for my husband to bring to work and he said it was great! I'll be returning to order one for myself in the future.

    After coming back again food has declined, dumplings taste like they were microwaved and were served on paper plates. Very cute setup but overall the dumplings are not so happy.

    I love this little shop in Westminster. No frills, just good food and friendly service. Our order consisted of: pork bbq buns, soup dumplings, cucumber wood ear salad, and a High Mountain tea. I was excited to try their soup dumplings, as those are hard to get right and I have yet to be satisfied with other restaurants in the Denver area. We got the colorful soup dumplings which consisted of 8 dumplings, 4 flavors: pork, spicy pork, cumin beef, and chicken. They were tasty and loaded with soup! The pork bbq buns were good, not exceptionally better than other places, but we devoured them quickly and happily. The tea was so good. Crisp with that strong tea taste. I'm glad they hold this style of authentic tea. The cucumber wood ear salad was probably the only disappointing dish. It was mainly cucumber (little wood ear mushroom) and there wasn't really any added flavor or sauce. I was expecting something more marinated with soy sauce/sesame oil/garlic/spice. When I'm in the area, I'll definitely be back as there are other dishes I want to try!

    Wontons and dumplings in chili oil
    Michael X.

    Was in the Northglenn area and was looking for a place to get some filling dumplings on a cold rainy day, and Happy Dumpling looked to be an interesting place to stop by and fill that craving. We went on a Saturday around noon and were seated promptly. The atmosphere of the restaurant gives small tea/coffee shop vibes. There isn't a ton of seating, and with the given seating, it felt a bit crammed with the options being high seats and small circular tables. Definitely more of an area to drink your beverage and chat with friends and enjoy small bites rather than eating a meal here. Service is fast, as we received the start of our order after 10 minutes. As for the food, we ordered a good variety of dumplings from soup dumpligs to wontons, which I'll review down below. The dumplings/wontons in chili oil were the most tasty of the dumplings we got, they definitely had a more of a home made feel in terms of the wrapper texture and the fillings had decent flavor that was nicely complimented by the chili oil. The next sets of dumplings in the bamboo steamers were only alright in my opinion, they definitely had the manufactured feel, and I know that I have bought these soup dumplings in the frozen aisle of my local grocery store. Both flavor and texture-wise gave hints to this, as they were slightly soggy with preserved flavors. They were not bad by any means, but if I'm going to a restaurant, I would definitely prefer something that I can't buy and prepare for a fraction of the price. In the end, we spent about $120 between four people. Which isn't a steep amount, but considering the quality and quantity of dumplings given the price - I would say this is only an alright establishment if you are looking for a place to satisfy the dumpling craving. I'm not sure if I would personally come back to try the other options that Happy Dumpling has to offer.

    Beef noodle soup with egg and Pork Dumpling.
    Mary S.

    I stopped here tonight since it is close to home. The guy at the cash register was very courteous, offering to answer any questions I had. I ended up ordering the beef noodle soup with egg and pork dumpling soup with noodles, to go. I waited about 20 minutes and my order was ready. They seemed busy, but mostly "to go" orders being placed and picked up. This restaurant is narrow, so most of the seating is towards the back of the restaurant. Some tall bar stools in the front up against a counter. Very limited seating for groups. Came home with my two orders. Very hot, freshly prepared. My beef noodle soup was mostly noodle, but the beef was good, veggies good. Broth was flavorful, especially fennel. The dumplings were good but, again, so many noodles. About $15/person, and very large portions. Delivery available through Door Dash. Feels good to support a local restaurant.

    Catering order
    Bee W.

    Recommended for catering order. Kiki handled our order and made suggestions for dishes. Cucumber and wood ear mushroom salad; spicy Dan Dan noodles; veggie, pork and chicken egg rolls, sweet bao buns - taro and egg custard; Lotus leaf chicken sticky rice and beef pies. They provided a discount for our bulk order. And they delivered to our location which was the best! Included serving tongs and condiments. The homemade chili sauce was delicious and spicy. Napkins and some boba drinks rounded the order up. The boba drinks were tasty and cold. I drank mine up right away. The lotus leaf chicken sticky rice was my favorite. Soft and tender. A little small in portion size so I had grabbed two. The veggie egg roll was good. I could have eaten four myself. The filling of the taro sweet bao bun was not overly sweet and smooth in texture. Nice flavor. The egg custard sweet bao bun was also good. There was a good spice to the Dan Dan noodles. A little oily for me but filling. Everyone ate the food up in an hour. Not much leftovers meant the food was good. And feedback was good. Would recommend. Kiki is friendly and personable.

    Chili Wontons (pork)
    Caroline Y.

    We just had a great lunch at Happy Dumpling, everything was delicious! The trick is to arrive early because they sell out of dumplings throughout the day. Based on what was available, we ordered steamed pork buns, pan fried chicken potstickers (add chili oil), and pork chili wontons. We also got lychee lover tea and white grape tea. The dumplings and wontons tasted so fresh - you can tell the dough is made in house. The pork buns were perfect. The best part is that everything arrived steaming hot, which enhanced the flavors. I did think the sauce in the chili wontons was a little salty for my taste, but it was still very good. I ordered the white grape tea with strawberry heart boba and it was a little pink jelly hearts in the cup. So cute!! There is limited seating, so this is a spot best for takeout or a quick lunch. There is counter seating, and a few small tables in the back. I'll definitely be back to try the soup dumplings and everything else on the menu!

They also have a few izakaya options perfect for sharing. * Black Tonkotsu $18 - The Little Guy got this and slurped the whole thing up, even the wood ear mushrooms which he usually leaves behind. He actually asked to return the next day because he loved it so much and just loved it. 5/5 * Menya Special $16.50 - I got this one and it was fine. Although I think I was a bit jealous as the Black Tonkotsu looked like it had different kind of noodles. The egg was perfectly cooked. 4/5 * Udon $16.50 - The Little Gal had this as she is a fan of udon any day. She ate pretty much the whole thing herself. Overall, Menya Noodle Bar served its purpose. It's a no-frills kind of place in a prime location.

    Cravings absolutely satisfied…read more We were in CO for the Rocky Mountain Siberian Husky Club specialty and I cannot go anywhere without having some sort of Asian food. That evening, I was craving pho. Pho 92 came recommended and I was immediately drawn to the clear broth in the photos while researching Yelp for Vietnamese food. It was a Thursday evening when we arrived at Pho 92, and the restaurant was packed. It was loud, with staff bustling about and patrons enjoying their meals. The aroma of the pho broth was just as I had hoped for a busy restaurant. We waited approximately 10 min for a table. The staff were pretty efficient and looked to have a good system going for bussing tables. Hailing from CA, I am no stranger to good pho, and this place hit the spot. I'm so glad I decided to get the regular instead of the large, because wow those portion sizes were indeed huge. My husband made the "mistake" of ordering the combination vermicelli bowl, and it came packed with tender proteins and crispy egg rolls. That just meant for some delicious leftovers (that actually reheated perfectly). The pho broth was as clear as I had imagined from looking at other patrons' photos. It still had a good depth of flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had been a long travel day for us, so I didn't want oily soup. (Sometimes I do enjoy rich, oilier pho broth, but not that night.) The pho came with a plethora of herbs, which I of course used all of. Be warned that their chili oil is very spicy, which I accidentally put too much of without first trying (oops). I generally don't go to the same spot twice during a trip, as I enjoy trying out different local businesses, but Pho 92 would have been a spot I'd return to again if we had had the time and if I had wanted pho again. Their menu is huge, so there are plenty of dishes to choose from to satisfy your cravings, whatever those might be for any given day. We will definitely be back the next time we visit CO!

Our bill was over 100 bucks and it was so upsetting because the food was not worth it. The atmosphere is so chaotic and unfortunate. Definitely a miss.
