Went here for lunch. We had a bit of wait. The service was warm and polite. Coming to the food, we had the 1. OG Wontons (4.5/5) A great flavor and correct spice. 2. Chilled Spicy sauce Peanut noodles (4.5/5)- very good cold noodles with great flavor. 3. Kung Pao chicken (5/5)- this is one of the best Kung pao chocken, the spice from the pepper and char veggies and the crunch chicken was awesome. Would definite get this. A great ambiance. Overall a great place. I would recommend making reservations and only street parking. read more

Wow!!! So happy to have found a place of this caliber in our community. I stumbled onto it while researching lunch spots -- Yelp pointed me here, and the reviews didn't lie. Reservations are OpenTable only, and good luck getting one; I tried for days with zero availability for 2. Finally scored a 1:00 slot the morning of and couldn't have been happier. The wontons were amazing, the spritz cocktails were on point, and the sweet & sour pork special stole the show. Service was spot-on, the vibe clean and modern, and the food genuinely excellent. No surprise the chef-owner just won a James Beard -- I expect tables will only get harder to snag from here, but I'm up for the challenge. Can't wait to come back with friends and family. This place is a gem. Great job -- keep it up!! read more

Got there a few minutes before opening and was seated at the counter which was great because I could see all the different dishes coming from the kitchen. Food was solid! The bread on the banmih was just the right crunch and the filling was delicious with thick slices of sweetened pork. The chili wontons were amazing and I loved the thin wonton wrapper which allowed me to fully taste the filling. Also had the peanut noodle dish which another great choice! The staff was great. Attentive, informative and friendly. Definitely will! read more

After Chef Penelope Wong's selection as the James Beard Best Chef Mountain Region for 2026 you need a reservation to get in. The place is totally slammed -- booked solid. And that is a good thing. She and her exceptional team deserve it. The food is delicious, the service exceptional and the offerings wonderful. I stopped by for lunch and even with her recent fame, the restaurant remains consistently wonderful. The potstickers remain my favorite although the tender and juicy wontons are worthy of attention. The pavlova desert with toasted coconut, lychees and mandarin oranges was a hit. The inside dining room is light and airy, yet it gets real loud. 78 Decibels. read more

The journey of chef Penelope Wong and Yuan Wonton has been incredible. From a food truck to a brick and mortar award winning restaurant, Yuan Wonton is simply an incredible restaurant. The primary focus here is an ever changing list of delicious dumplings and other Chinese classic. The OG chili dumplings are delicious with plump, juicy filling wrapped up in delicate wrappers providing a pleasant toothsome bite. It's perfectly seasoned for me and I love that it's not too salty or oily, allowing you to really enjoy the flavor of the filling with just a touch of chili oil. The potstickers (not pictured cause we absolutely destroyed them) are perfectly fried, though the dumpling wrapper is a touch of the gummy side. Finally the peanut sauce wonton are incredible. Savory, peanutty, and absolutely delicious and definitely a must have if they're on the menu. Finished the meal with a delicious tropical pavlova with lychee and tangerine. The whipped cream is ethereal and the meringue provides a nice contrast of textures and flavor with the fresh fruit. Overall, what more could be said about this place. It's a not so hidden gem that's a must visit for any fan of dumplings, or really anyone. The menu changes often, and the dumplings are so creative. This is definitely a place I look forward to returning time and time again. Now if only someone can convince chef Wong to open for dinner as well..... read more

We went to Yuan Wonton for lunch, an hour before close, so it was not super busy (yay for us). Service was attentive and quick. We would have ordered everything on the menu if our stomachs had the room. I did not take a picture of our menu; it appears this may change pretty often. Looking online, I see many options that weren't on our menu the day we came. We ordered the YW OG chili oil wontons (sauce was on the side due to our little one), Shelby J (this was my favorite), Dan Dan noodles (flavorful but has a kick), spicy peanut sauce wontons (I could drink Ngoc's peanut sauce), mapo tofu sandwich (will get to this one), and a steamed mantou ( I am not sure how to feel about this one. Buns were perfectly steamed but wished there was a subtle sweetness to it). The Mapo tofu sandwich was a highlight for us. Innovative and amazingly executed. Who would've thought a tofu sandwich based off a traditional dish would be so good! The buns were soft, the tofu perfectly crisped for contrast and the sauce made for the lingering Sichuan burn. Overall, I would recommend Yuan Wonton. Yes, it is a little pricey for what people think they may be getting but there's no price to the thought, innovation and heart put into their menu items. James Beard Nominee - well deserved. read more

This place has been on our list to check out for forever, we finally tried it. What we got: - OG chili wontons - mussels - cebiche - boa bun vegan The mussels and cebiche were our favorites. Everything seasoned beautifully and tasted great. The OG chili wontons were a let down. Needed more seasoning and I've had better at a lot of places. I expected more. The boa bun was good. The service was really great from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. I'm glad we came and tried this place out but I won't be back. I felt this place was a solid 3.5 stars and overpriced. read more

This is an example of a place that knows what it is and does it flawlessly. While the OG Wontons and Shelby Js were really good, what clinched Yuan Wonton a 5-star rating for me was the Pad Krapao Potstickers. One of the best potstickers I've ever had and the dipping sauce was out of this world. I will say this isn't a cheap lunch. Our server said she usually recommends 3-4 things for a party of 2. We weren't super hungry when we arrived, and we started with 2 dishes and then put in a 3rd. Plus drinks, you're easily spending over $60. The spot is cute, the staff is nice, but really you're going for the food. With that said, if price is a concern I think your money might go farther elsewhere when it comes to the experience as a whole. As out-of-towners on vacation we were happy we got to try Yuan Wonton and would definitely go back. read more

OMG Yuan Wonton is some of the best food we have had in Denver recently...or ever! This is our second time visiting them. We had been trying to go on a Thursday as our hands-down favorite at our first visit was the YW XL XLB (xiao long bao), and it just so happens to be only available on Thursdays, at least for now. This time we ordered two YW XL XLB, the Shelby J's, and a salt & pepper chicken sandwich. Everything was fantastic! The XL XLB's were exactly what we remembered them being, and incredibly delicious! The chicken sandwich was also a standout. The Chinese flour roll was so unique, and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The Shelby J's pan fried baos were great too, we just regretted ordering it the same time as the XLB as the filling was the same as (I think) the filling on the XLB minus the house bone broth. We wished we had thought about this and should have opted for something else with an entirely different flavor profile, like the Tom Kha chicken wontons. Nevertheless the Shelby J's were delicious! It all was! Make sure you follow them on Instagram and you can keep up with their changing menu and plan the day you visit accordingly. And best of luck to Penelope Wong who is a finalist for a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mountain (CO, ID, MT, UT, WY)!! Fingers crossed this amazing lady wins as she is so incredibly talented & so well deserving of the recognition!! read more

2nd visit. Today is Denver hottest March day so far. I came for lunch hoping I could sit at the bar. Score!! I started with the Lemony Snicket cocktail. Very lemony and very smooth. Today's lunch menu includes the OG Chili Oil Wontons and several new items. As a test, they are offering a food flight of 8 Ala carte choices + ice cream for $48. It went over well, so that by 230pm they topped offering it. Which is good since they close at 3pm. I was served by Justin H. My first food was the vegan Szechuan Eggplant Dumplings. Eight well filled dumplings with dipping sauce. Very hot and yummy. I got a 2nd Lemony Snicket. Next was the Scallion Pancake Sammich with scrambled eggs with chili oil & chives aioli with a mayonnaise dip. Nice and spicy. They offered a steak knife to cut it, but this handheld didn't need it. I noticed at 230pm that the dining room was mostly full and several tables on the patio was occupied. Very clean and airy atmosphere. read more

I hate leaving a review this low for a restaurant that has so many rave reviews and won so many awards. However, my friend and I tried 5 or 6 dishes and I wasn't impressed with any of them. They were all fine, but not amazing. At that price point and with the rave reviews I've heard, it was definitely disappointing. Service was good. The restaurant was pretty inside, but a little cold. read more

I am really surprised to be writing this review but had no choice. My husband and I had lunch there today after waiting more than a month for this booking. What a waste of time and gas! I don't eat meat but was hoping for chicken dumplings- but I could not order them. WHY? Because they - like almost all dishes there - were spiced with hot peppers. I picked on a pathetic Chinese chicken salad. What hype for this place - I can't believe it. My husband had dumplings and enjoyed them but has had better - much better. Because I don't eat meat or hot peppers I literally had one mediocre choice. Never again! From my perspective the awards this place has gotten are undeserved. You either like spicy food or not. No accommodations for someone like me. No way to omit the peppers or chili oil from any dish. The website does not show a menu so I was clueless until I got there. NEVER AGAIN! We were never able to book a dinner so I have no idea if there were more choices for me. The lunch menu is minute. read more

Trendy ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff. We came for happy hour and split 5 dishes between 4 of us (good amount, we were all mostly full after) Plates we got in order of my preference: 1. OG wontons x2 - don't skip this! Comes smothered in chili oil 2. Prad krapao- minced meat stir fried on top of a mound of white rice with an easy over egg on top you can break 3. Shu Mai- pork and mushroom dumpling w thin skin and sweet -ish sauce to dip in 4. Crispy garlic noodles - vegetarian but great flavor. Tip is to pour the leftover chili oil from the wontons into the noodles for some spice read more

What a treat it was to have lunch at the very popular Yuan Wonton. With a simple yet flavorful rotating menu, Chef/Owner Penelope Wong gets it right! We were a party of four and decided to share many dishes. The Gua Bao Birria was filled with Dr Pepper Braised Beef and balanced with house pickles and slaw. The chicken satay dumplings were delicious, along with the peanut sauce. Of course, the YW OG Chili Wontons were an explosion of flavor and a must-order. The Pad Krapao Potstickers are a fun dish to crack to get to the treat. Our final dish, the Mongolian Beef, was twice-fried and perfectly tender. Our only wish was either to serve smaller pieces or with a knife. Service was attentive and our water glasses were kept full. They do ask that checks are not split so be prepared to Zelle or Venmo your friend or bring cash. read more

Excellent quality dumpling spot with a variety of menu items that change daily! We tried the Shelby J's, arguably one of the best and softest bao buns I've ever had, Tom kha wontons which had an excellent texture as well as great sauce, and the beef chow fun (Wednesday's only!) which had wonderful homemade rice noodles, quality beef and the most divine caramelized onions. Service was impeccable too, great host and very kind and knowledgeable waitress! Finally, great seating area and in a cute little shop area of Park Hill with a kids playground right outside between Yuan and Sexy Pizza Pricey but def coming back for the quality :) read more

Have wanted to eat here forever and finally got the chance after an event. Chef Penelope Wong was kind enough to host a celebratory lunch for us. We were welcomed at once by her staff even though they didn't know us. Friendly and welcoming to everyone, they are so cheerful and polite. The place is bright and inviting with patio seating available. Such a calming atmosphere. The food is delicious. Everyone has something different and it was all good. I picked at different plates and was not disappointed by the delicacy of the wontons, potstickers or dessert. A balance of sweet and savory with intricate sauces. Sauces which bring back childhood memories of grandma's cooking while the main dish is Asian with a twist. Like the chicken satay dumplings I had. And the pad krapao potstickers were heavenly. And of course I loved the YW OG chili oil wontons. I've been craving the delicate and thin wonton skins which most places do not serve. These were an answer to my prayers. If more Asian restaurants made the wontons so delicately they'd sell out for sure. So pretty too. I will have to make an effort to come back. Maybe take a day off. Street parking with a park right outside so you could purchase to go and sit at a picnic table while the kids play. Patio seating if you want to have some sun. Shared restrooms. read more

There's no denying that the chef(s) take complete pride in the quality of the food. The wontons are stunning by look, deliciously homemade outer layer, and beautifully crafted sauces. We tried an assortment. Some weren't my personal flavor profile but nothing against the quality. (1) Spicy peanut wontons: that sauce is spoon-able. Soooo damn good! I wouldn't consider it spicy either and I have a lower spice tolerance (2) OG wontons: really good. Good sauce. On the spicy end but you can get the sauce on the side. (3) eggplant dumplings: these are very veggie flavor forward. You can really taste the spinach outer layer and the eggplant is super prevalent. The sauce was amazing though! This one wasn't my personal favorite but it wasn't because of a lack of effort on the chefs part. Service was a bit slow during lunch but all good. Ambience is cute and cozy. We made a reservation for lunch and it seemed like we needed it. Almost all tables were full on a Tuesday. Overall, beautiful dishes and the chef should be proud! read more

This was the very first stop after arriving in Denver, and rightfully so. Possibly the best chili oil wontons I've had, with their Dan Dan definitely being up there as well.

This is located in the same location as a bakery. We had a bit of a wait even at 145pm with a reservation. They refill water constantly - feel they should just leave a big water jug at the table so it's less disruptive This is a chill restaurant vibe but their menu makes it seem like a fancy dim sum place. It's a fusion dim sum place with extremely overpriced food for small amounts and average taste Wontons: supposed to be the rave, hence the name, but honestly nothing special. Kick of spice Pork buns: lots of meat inside. Too hot inside, burnt tongue. Meat was ok. Bread was flavorless not sweet like it normally should be Thai pad minced pork dish: not bad, had a kick, had some flavor but also nothing special. Taiwanese chicken gua bao: again bread had zero flavor but chicken was well spiced and the aioli sauce went very well with it Coconut buns: it looked good on the inside but very plain, not sweet at all Overall wouldn't go again or recommend; overpriced read more

This immediately became my favorite Asian restaurant in Denver (yes there are many Asian cuisines, this tops all of them). The one downside is the takeout ordering process. The menu changes and you can't find the current menu online. So I had to call to order and the person on the phone patiently repeated it many times for me while I figured out what I wanted. As a visual person, this was a very challenging way to order. They said it should be on Instagram, but it wasn't today. Ordering challenges aside, the food is outstanding. I'm not 100% sure what all I ordered because I couldn't keep up with trying to write it all down as they read the menu to me. The only thing I know is that it was all phenomal. My only regret is not ordering the entire menu. I will absolutely be back because this is the level of good food that is not easy to come by. read more

"You wanna wonton?" If so, this is the place to come. Liked: all the food. This is gourmet stuff, clearly made by hand and with a wondrous chef's touch. We loved the chili oil wontons and the giant XLB soup dumpling. The pad krapao potstickers were good and Shelby J's bao was delicious. Forbidden rice pudding for dessert was a hit. My least favorite item we tried was the Szechuan eggplant dumplings, but another person at our table said that was their favorite item. Service from Heather was very good. There is a bakery inside the restaurant with some wonderful breads, muffins, and other treats. Any negatives? It gets pretty noisy in the room. Quite a few of the pothos plants look sad in comparison to the fabulous food on the table. I could complain about the price, but the overall experience was so good that I won't. read more

I have to shout it from the rooftops that I have found my new favorite place. First of all let me explain that this isn't a food truck. This is a class act in culinary skills and service. I'll start by sharing that if I didn't look closely at the door. I might have missed it, but I'm glad that I didn't. The thing that made it hard to find was this great little dog park right in the middle of buildings in which there were a lot of people enjoying the outside, however they should've been inside trying everything on the menu. By the way, I love the fact that there is a new menu every time you go in, and while they rotate a few dishes, the majority of them are new and what I suspect,incredible. I had to try the dumplings so I ordered the spicy peanut dumplings, which were unreal. Every dumpling was savory and the sauce just pulled it together with a sweet taste of peanut butter. Not so thick like a peanut butter, but just enough to coat the outside of it and make it something spectacular. It didn't stop there because I had to try the Dan Dan noodles, which I am so glad that I did. Yes I'm one person, but calm down, I knew I was taking some home for dinner and that I did. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the Dan Dan had just enough flavor to really pull the dish together, but it was the peanuts on top that paired it with the dumplings perfectly. Did you say stop there? I didn't. Finally I had to try the mango custard dessert with tapioca balls. I just can't describe the flavors of each layer of the dessert with the pieces of lychee and mango at the top. You can't stop eating this dessert. I can't end this review without giving an incredible shout out to my server. She was attentive kind, and overall someone that you want to be around because she just showed you that special attention that you needed. 10 out of 10 people! read more

What can I even say about Yuan Wonton? Is it my favorite all-time dim sum? Yes. Have I ever had a bad bite here? No. Do I always overorder because I want to try everything? Absolutely. Their menu changes daily, built around the freshest ingredients, and every dish has a purpose in their perfectly balanced lineup. Instead of listing everything I've had, here are my must-haves (if they happen to be on the menu that day): Best Bites: Tom Kha Chicken Wontons - The lemongrass, the broth, the wontons... a perfect bite. Beef Chow Fun - Fresh rice noodles, dark soy, and a mix of flavors that make this one of my all-time favorite Asian dishes. YG OG Chili Oil Wontons - WOW. The ones that started it all. I've waited in line back in their food truck days, taken them to-go, and they never miss. Ube Crème Brûlée - No exaggeration, the best crème brûlée you'll ever have. I said what I said. Banh Mi - Easily in my top 3 banh mis. So, yeah, I love Yuan Wonton. A couple of disclaimers: They're only open 11 AM - 3 PM, Tuesday to Friday. Have I called in sick just to go? Absolutely not. (If my boss sees this, it's a joke.) It's pricey, but when food is this good--and made right in front of you with so much care, it's worth every cent. If you find yourself nearby during lunch, make a reservation (they stay busy) and prepare to be blown away. read more

After having to cancel two previous reservations, we were finally able to make it to Yuan Wonton! It was amazing, I can see why they receive all accolades. Each dish was flavorful with a curated sauce. Chef' kiss! A little pricey, but the quality makes this humble treat worth it. The restaurant was clean, very busy and the staff were all very friendly! Definitely worth trying, make your reservations. My favorite dish was the Pad Krapao Potstickers. We also tried the Szechuan Eggplant dumplings, Shelby J Bao buns and the Tom Kha chicken wontons, all were exceptional. read more

This place is phenomenal. If you get a chance to go, don't miss out - try as much as you can, the food here is exceptional.

Unlike many reviewers who first experienced Yuan Wonton in its food truck days, my first foray with Yuan Wonton was actually via a featured Friday sake dinner. Everything about that dinner was spectacular: the service was on point; the food was expertly crafted, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented; and the sake brewers coordinated by Monica Samuels were top notch. It was an excellent event, and truly no notes (other than to say Khao Soi dumplings was a dish I didn't know I needed in my life). I had intended to review Yuan Wonton after that, but somehow it slipped my mind and then eventually I told myself I needed another meal there to partake in the normal lunch experience. Work being what it is, that took a little finagling (scheduling here is the only downside, but I appreciate Shef's intentions on that front). So when I recently sat down with an old friend, we decided to order a veritable feast. Truly every dish was a winner. Our server Heather recommended the Shumai, which I might not have gravitated towards otherwise, and it was honestly one of my favorite dishes. The Chasiu Pork bao were so tender and perfectly steamed that they jiggled on the plate as they moved around the dining room. and the Taiwanese Chicken gua bao were so substantial and flavorful that I would happily polish a plate for lunch every day if that wasn't impractical. Every aspect of the buzzing dining room was functioning like a well oiled machine; so I will say if you're able to make time during normal service you too can have the most amazing meal with no regrets. I will definitely be making an effort to try some of the other dishes we were not able to squeeze in soon, and would love to check out one of the recurring Chifa nights. (Also Yuan Wonton is now doing take away and HH on Thursday and Fridays as well!) Finally just a shoutout to Shef Penelope Wong who has clearly put her heart and soul into this place. I had the pleasure of listening to you speak at the Tattered Cover last year, which was an event I was truly grateful to have attended. Your vision and commitment are self-evident; and those James Beard noms are more than deserved. We are so lucky to have you in our Denver community! read more

The best dumplings I've had in denver. We went for lunch on a Thursday. The space was bright and airy and the staff were friendly. The menu apparently changes frequently. We ordered the salt and pepper chicken sandwich, the Thai chicken wontons (called something else) and the peanut wontons. Everything was delicious. The chicken sandwich was like nothing I have ever tasted before and was crispy, light , flavorful , delicious and spicy. An outstanding dish and maybe the highlight for me of the meal. My sons favorite were the wontons in a peanut sauce and they were truly delicious. They reminded me of a delicious dish I used to order when I lived in NYC and it was a definite win. The Thai wontons were also lovely and a fun take on dumplings. I loved how our server did not push us into over order. I was stuffed with 3 orders 2 people . Everything was delicious and we will be back for sure! read more

Thank you Penelope Wong for bringing your imagination and cooking skills to Denver. Congratulations on the James Bearn nomination. What to say about this place... I fell in love when it was a Food Truck. I would await the social media alerts and get in line, many times too late to actually get to try the dumplings. It is so much easier to try her and her team's delicious cooking from her brick and mortar location on Fairfax. I have previously tried the OG wontons. So perfectly seasoned but be warned, if you can not tolerate spice, they only come spicy. The Tom Kha Chicken Wontons are such a wonderful hearty dumpling with bursts of lemongrass and kaffir lime with each bite. Today I had the chicken Banh Mi which is truly the best I have ever eaten. Perfectly seasoned chicken with all of the veggies on a crispy bun. The kewpi mayo ensures that is does not get dry. The ambiance is transporting with large windows letting in the light and plants coming from the ceiling adding additional warmth. Probably my favorite place in all of Denver both in terms of ambiance and food. read more

RUN DON'T WALK. I had a lovely lunch here today. Never disappointing. Everything was really special - despite meeting up for lunch at 2PM, the service and meal felt like an intimate and relaxed dinner. We enjoyed four dishes to share among three m, and it was perfect. Our service was super curated and special (I'm so sorry I don't have her name, but shorter and lives really close to the restaurant) - great recommendations and smooth in her style. The Mongolian beef was a standout and so was the Thursday salt and pepper chicken sandwich. Like whoa. Chef Penelope understands flavors and that sandwich truly represents that. Bravo team!

Always wanted to try Yuan Wonton after reading so many positive reviews, but did not want to stand in line during its food truck days and did not find a reason to drive all the way to Park Hill for lunch. Finally happened to be in the neighborhood on the day it was opened. Thought might need to wait, but luckily got a spot at the bar table right away. The menu was quite simple with 10 primarily small bite dishes. Looking around, the restaurant was very busy and packed. Most customers ordered at least three or four different items, with the chili oil wonton and the TFC Gua Bao to be the most popular. Since not in the mood for fried chicken, ordered the wonton and the steam chasiu pork bao instead. Both were handmade inside out. The wrapper of the Hong Kong style shrimp wonton was thin, but chewy while the filling was juicy and unami. The secret chili oil was more tingly than spicy and complement the taste of the wonton well. The chasiu pork bao was enclosed compared to the crack opened ones commonly seen in dim sum restaurants in town, more in line with the traditional Cantonese style. The bun was soft, fluffy and chewy while the chasiu pork filling was succulent, slightly sweet and savory, as the way it should be. Despite how busy the restaurant was, the service was prompt and serving was fast. Yuan Wonton opens only four days a week from Tuesday to Friday, primarily for lunch from 11 to 3, but also serve early dinner on Thursday and Friday from 4 to 6. read more

Let's just say that this place was recommended by my boyfriend's family member and since none of us had ever been, we decided to make a reservation prior to travelling to Denver. Located in a cute area which is located on Fairfax, parking seemed to be fairly easy. Then again, we went on a Friday and our reservation was for 12:15pm which worked out great as we were catching up! When they tell you it is an experience, please take their word for it. We were told about two off menu items, which we decided to try. One was a fried pork dumpling, but because she spoke too fast, we decided to give it a go and it did not disappoint at all. That crunchy later tasted almost like a crispy wonton but the flavors were delectable. The second item was practically a pork belly roll w/mushrooms, but let me tell you their sauce was amazing. We then proceeded to order the following items: Steamed Chasiu Pork Bao - Definitely enjoyed the sweet and savory aspect to this dish. Chicken & Chive Wontons in Ginger Bone Broth - reminded me of their chili oil wonton/ dumplings listed on their menu, however we wanted chicken. Shu Mai - the goji berry gave it a different flavor but it was good! We had water as we wanted to taste their flavors in its entirety. The decor was simple yet elegant at the same time! I would definitely come back again! read more

I have eaten a LOT of dumplings in my lifetime and although these were tasty, I have to agree with others about the price point and the other options Denver has to offer. I tried the water fried bao, OG chili wontons and the pan fried dumplings. Service was friendly but I had to wait even though there were several spots open- might be due to the bin gourmand? Ambiance was just ok. I was the only Asian in the place besides those in the kitchen. read more

A friend recommended this spot and THANK GOODNESS. The fried chicken bun was absolute delicious perfection. The chili oil wontons were delectable, like close your eyes and savor the flavor good. Even the fried rice was fantastic. I loved the food so much I was looking forward to coming every remaining day of my trip. Sadly, they are closed Saturday-Monday so I only was able to enjoy it one Friday afternoon. Soul crushing. The good news is I have a friend's wedding to attend in October so my husband and I will be sure to fly in early to dine here again. I'm not exaggerating. It was food heaven. I regret not ordering more. My experience was for take-out but my husband said it's cute and packed. Definitely recommend. If you live nearby, you're so lucky and I hope you eat here all the time, if not for yourself for the rest of us who can't. See you in 6 months, Yuan Wonton! read more
