    Went for a quick lunch as a walk in! They were able to accommodate us. I enjoyed the bao and the chili wontons. The congee was really good as well. Those three were my favorite. The inside and outside seating are really nice with comfortable air conditioning. The service is friendly and very quick. Highly recommend trying at least once. It can def be pricey for $18 for 6 wontons.

    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.

    Have been salivating after Yuan Wonton of food truck notoriety for a few years now. After a couple of failed attempts to navigate the fish frenzy preordering of dumplings from her truck, I gave up and waited, hoping there would be an easier option one day. Fast forward through pandemic and my own listlessness, and finally prioritized checking it out today, long after the brick and mortar created a giant buzz. Sorry, I digress. It's been a while. Ambience, meh. Rather sterile and characterless. But clean and utilitarian, I guess. But lacking the charm a space can create to engender fondness. Tried three wonton dumpling items, the OG chili wontons, the Szechuan eggplant, and Shelby J. Thumbs up to Shelby J, a light dough and tasty pork filling. Gorgeous and delicious. Thumbs up also to OG, pretty satisfying, light fresh tasting wrappers, though maybe less notable compared to Shelby J. Eggplant disappointing. Very mushy, no texture. Would have been better if eggplant puree also had some eggplant chunks in my opinion. As it is, a soft wrapper contains an eggplant mushball that is not particularly flavorful and texturally terrible. Arancini work bc of crips exterior and mushy interior. This is mush on mush. I tried the melon granita too out of curiosity and appeal of idea. Also disappointing, sickly melon flavor, rather than fresh and bright. Maybe they used melon syrup? Not good. Little bits of not delicious melon fruit did little to help matters and overall tho I love boba, it doesn't work. Would return to try some more menu items but was disappointed on the whole, and prices are not cheap, tho everything seems pricey lately. Love the concept of shared space and am curious as to the sweets and sourdough. Hats off to creator and entrepreneur Penelope Wong despite my critique. And hope she continues to develop the menu and space.

    The best Asian food in Colorado! Took a friend in town here for a late lunch, and we were able to order from the afternoon delights menu as well. The dim sum is nontraditionally delicious. The chicken and ginger wontons were SO good. Loved trying the cute fairytale eggplants paired with shisitos too. Crispy pork in the salad was cooked perfectly. Love all the ube desserts
