    dynasty fish with pine nuts
    Adam Y.

    One of the few places that never disappointed was Shanghai Kitchen in Greenwood Village. Time truly flied, cannot believe it has been here for almost 30 years. Liked its old Shanghai scene decor, the authenticity of its dishes and story of Chef Zhou's culinary journey. Here were some of the dishes ordered during a recent trip there, including dynasty fish with pine nuts, pork meatballs, salt and pepper shrimps, smoked fish, vegetable triple delight and Shanghai braised bean curd, as well as Chef Zhou's new braised pork belly with pickled vegetable buns. For people who like noodle soup, the pork meatball and pickled vegetable noodle soup was also quite tasty.

    Pork Fried Dumplings

    It's nice to have a go-to restaurant in your direct vicinity and I must say that this Chinese restaurant is one of them (although I don't utilize it enough.) A few days ago, a little past 9pm (on Christmas Eve to be exact), on my way to go to a friend's house, I stopped here to get me a few items. There was one group of people (the last diner of the night) that was finishing off their late night meal. Other than that, I appeared to be the last customer for the night. The lady that greeted me asked me if it was for a dine in or to-go (wonder if she would have accepted me had I said dine in? Not sure.) I immediately responded, "To-go, please." Like I stated earlier I only wanted a few items (a few sides.) I got me the pork dumplings and the veggies egg rolls. The lady said it'd be 5 min. While waiting, I looked around the dining room and took a few photos. Nicely dimmed lights, each dining table was neatly arranged/set. Very clean and inviting. I like the bright red napkins. This restaurant appears to have received several accolades in the past (there are frames magazine articles on one of the walls.) As promised, it was about 5 minutes before my food was ready. A different lady gave me a bag that contained my food with a nice smile. Service is good here. I didn't eat the food until next day. Sometimes there is a huge difference between eating it fresh or a day old so I'll be fair with this review based on the fact that I ate it when the food was half day old. Overall, both of them were good. To be frank, when it comes to dumplings or potstickers, I prefer them to be pan-fried to be deep fried. I wonder if they ever make them pan-fried or even steamed. This will be a little request I'll be sure to make upon my next visit for sure. The veggie egg rolls were a bit small for the price. Tasted good however. I really need to try their main dishes in the future. Then I'll be able to elaborate more on their food in a real sense. Until then my hon/frank rating shall be 3-stat.

    Family in town so we stopped by for dinner on a weeknight and it was packed. Everything we tried was good- garlic shrimp, eggplant w pork, sweet pork ribs, and salt and pepper fried fish. Next time will try the more authentic Shanghainese dishes. Service was quick and served family style.

    Szechuan Triple Delight
    AJ K.

    Shanghai Kitchen serves up some extremely delicious food, especially if you like Szechuan style food. The Szechuan style green beans are a must try. Their flavor will be what brings you back to Shanghai Kitchen over and over. I have tried many of the dishes in the menu and can highly recommend the Szechuan Style Triple Delight and the Orange Chicken. The service is always attentive and the restaurant itself is comfortable offering booth and table seating. I would suggest dining in as the times we have ordered food for take out have been underwhelming.

    While waiting for our to-go order, we munched on Xiao Long Bao (XLB), because, it would be sacrilege to not eat XLB hot and fresh out of the steamer! My mom, a true Shanghainese, said Shanghai Kitchen's XLB is pretty authentic. She especially liked that the meat filling wasn't too fatty. That's not to say the bun didn't contain enough soup, though. I thought it tasted great. My tongue is still burning a couple of days later from eating it while it's piping hot, but it's worth it! Our to-go foods stayed warm thanks to the meticulous packaging (they would tape down lids to make sure nothing leaks!) The Lion's Heads meatballs are impressing, bigger than my fists! So don't be stingy, share with someone so you both have room to try more stuff! We adored that night's special dish: ginger and scallion crabs stir fried with rice cakes, so so yummy and filling. The portion was huge and you would think there would be more rice cakes than crabs (as the former is cheaper) but Shanghai Kitchen is way more generous with their crabs! The sweet and sour fish steaks were more Americanized than Chinese, it's not bad, but next time I'm ready to dine in, I'll order the whole fish in sweet and sour sauce. I'm sure it'll be way better!

    I honestly didn't know what to expect when it comes to Shanghai food in Denver area - not many restaurants have been able to do SH food justice imho. I'm impressed by this place! They have some ver decent and authentic /staple / traditional shanghainese dishes here! Just need some prerequisite SH food knowledge to know what to order!

    Delicious and authentic. What more can you want from dim sum?…read more Be sure to get here early as the wait can get lengthy. So plan ahead, though the food is well worth the wait! Carts rotate and display their options to you frequently as you enjoy your meal. So tou can order plates as quickly as you finish them. I recommend the pork buns and pork ribs. My favorite this time around were the leek dumplings with a side of noodles. We finished off with a coconut bun that wasn't too sweet. It was the perfect finish to the meal with ample amounts of tea. Use the kiosk up front to reserve your spot!

    This place used to be the classic on dim sum, but the food seemed to be very generic now…read more XLB or soup dumplings is always the classic for most dim sum or Taiwanese eateries. Here unfortunately looks to be pre made by some factory somewhere and not freshly made? From picture, you can see the skin stick to the tin container and thus the soup has all leaked out. The beef with flat noodles was also a bit disappointing in that the beef has no texture as in they used too much baking soda in overly tenderizing the meat. The noodles also seemed thinner than the ones I'm more used to back home in Texas. Overall, it was just an ok place, which was a disappointment since I drove my mom from ft collins just to have some dim sum with here for the weekend I'm here visiting.

The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helped answer a few questions we had about different dishes. We had about a 20 minute wait for our table, so we grabbed a couple cocktails at the bar first. I had the Harmony in Beijing and my girlfriend had the Oolong Old Fashion. Both were really refreshing and a great way to start dinner. One thing we really liked was the ordering style. Once you're seated, you just keep picking out small plates you want to try, just like a lot of dumpling shops in China and Japan. It honestly brought back memories from my trips over there. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and felt authentic without trying too hard. Our favorites were the Spicy Cucumber Salad, Spicy Green Beans, Beef & Vermicelli Dumplings, Hot Sea Pork and Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Chive Dumplings, and the Crab Rangoons. Everything was fresh and came out pretty quick. We also ordered the Chicken Lo Mein, but I only had one bite because we bought it to give to a homeless woman we met at the park near where we were staying. The biggest downside is the price. It's very, very expensive for what you get. Dumplings that were basically the same size and quality as ones I ate all over Japan for $4-$7 were over $14 here. A pretty small plate of stir fried green beans being around $20 was kinda hard to justify. The only dishes we really didn't care for were the Chinese Style Broccoli, which was pretty plain and lacked flavor, and the Pork & Mushroom Dumplings. They tasted good, but they were dry enough that I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back, but probably only for a special occasion. The food and experience were great, but the pricing keeps it from being a place we'd visit regularly or for a casual night out.

The restaurant was completely renovated about a year ago, and they did a remarkable job creating a modern, welcoming space while preserving the warmth and character of a traditional Chinese restaurant. One of the interesting aspects of Harbor Dim Sum is their business partnership with the Asian supermarket next door, giving them access to very fresh seafood--and you can definitely taste it in the dishes. We came for an early brunch and, as usual with dim sum, what was supposed to be a small breakfast quickly turned into a table covered with bamboo baskets! I particularly enjoyed the har gow shrimp dumplings. The wrappers were delicate and translucent, the shrimp were plump and fresh, and they were steamed perfectly. The siu mai were equally generous, topped with a little orange roe and served piping hot directly from the bamboo steamer. We also tried the tripes, one of those traditional dim sum dishes that I always enjoy when properly prepared. The steamed buns were light and fluffy, and the seafood congee was delicate and comforting--a perfect dish for an early brunch. I really love congee! What I always liked was seeing the traditional dim sum carts circulating throughout the dining room, loaded with stacks of bamboo steamers. You simply look, point, ask a few questions and suddenly another basket appears on your table! This old-fashioned Hong Kong and Cantonese style of dim sum service adds a nice homy touch to the experience. The service was fast, efficient and very friendly. Much of it was conducted in Chinese, which was actually another bonus for me because it gave me an opportunity to practice some of my very basic Chinese. Nothing like ordering dim sum to test your vocabulary! The renovated dining room is spacious and attractive, with traditional Chinese decorative elements, beautiful illuminated panels, dark wood furniture and the classic red tablecloths. It feels distinctly Chinese without feeling dated. There is a genuine sense of warmth and hospitality. Will definitely be back.
