We go about once a month at Work, just curious to see who else likes it.
I go almost weekly with my family. Where do you go?
Oh yeah what/where is your spot?

We still need to take Dr Fwd to BrightMinus.. best one in town.
There's a pretty good place in the Far East Center @ Alameda and Federal. I advise you carry if you go after dark....
I've been wanting to try it but have yet to.

It's never occurred to me that there might be Dim Sum in Denver.
I haven't had that since I visited Chicago.
Totes thanks for this thread, guys.

You're kidding right? I've never been anywhere in CO where I've been scared. And I use to hang out with a rough crowd.
Being introduced to Pho changed my life. Someone introduce me to this. Is there a place in the Tech Center?
If only knew some Asians on the board...

That might be the place some Chinese friends took us for Dim Sum. It was in an older shopping center with several Korean and Chinese shops and restaurants. Very busy with a long line to be served. My friends are from Hong Kong, and pretty particular about their Dim Sum, said there was one place much better than the others. Don't remember the name of the place but they had a great variety of foods.
My friends mentioned a restaurant in Broomfield that had good Dim Sum, too.

New place that just opened up. They hired a chef from china town in SF. It's a new restaurant so there is no yelp yet.

If you like family friendly sort of restaurant where they roll the bun and rapid steam them at your table, speed wrap your shu Mai and ha kao on the cart, or roll the egg in front of you.. This is the best place. It's kind of Benihana teppanyaki, but the cook doesn't speak Spanish.

It's not the crowd, it's the location. Oddly enough, it's in the middle of Nuevo Juarez...I won't say I've been scared down there, but I definitely have a heightened awareness of my surroundings.

Owner is from Hong Kong..but he forgot to bring the taste with him :)
I love Dim Sum but the only places I eat it are in SJC and Vegas. If there is a place around here that is good COUNT ME IN!
I've never found a Dim Sum restaurant in CO that makes truly authentic Cantonese Dim Sum. Hell, my wife and I order dim sum speaking Cantonese and the waitstaff gives us a deer in the headlights look. It's CO. You take what you can get.

Cantonese Dim Sum comes with spit pots, folks standing behind your chair rudely waiting for your table, and waitstaffs/owners who will not serve you unless you speak cantonese? No thanks LOL.. [Coffee]

I think you're thinking of Pho Duy which was on Peoria and Smith-ish but they moved further south. I want to say Alameda-ish but not sure. IMO they are ok but 79 is much better. And that's a whole other thread. :)

Nope delmar cir and Peoria. Back corner behind china shit. They ARE the best, been going there since the 90s.

6th & Peoria just east of Ace Hdwe. Not trying to correct kwando, but if unfamiliar with area, DM & Peoria may cause some head scratching.
Ate there last night. Also a huge fan of 79 (Mississippi & Havana) as jmetz mentioned.

Nah. A lot of it consists of pork and shrimp. Some of it can get wild, such as jellyfish, snails, beef tripe and chicken feet. I've tried it all. True Dim Sum is basically common people food. Appetizers. If you have an open mind to different flavors and the texture, you'll enjoy it.

888 is better than those two. 79 has been going down the hill ever since they sold it to the nice chinese lady.

And that's a whole other thread. :)correct on the location but 79 isnt as good. 53 was much better but it just got turned into a mexican joint. Because the city put medians turning in and 79 has better signage.
53 had the best rice beef platter and broth that actually tasted like beef broth. 79 broth is watered down. They all trump the excuses for pho that are up here though.
One of the duy cooks worked for me part time. Holy hell they abuse the staff there. He made $60/week working 6 10s and theyd take his shift meals out of his pay. But they let him crash on their couch. Never work for family.

I've had it a few times and thought it to be very good. I haven't had 79 in some time, when was it sold?

Super star or star kitchen is where I go if I want dim sum.
Also, if you want some pho then pho 88 off federal and 104 is awesome and I hear its owned by the family of a forum member /shameless self plug

Picky eater, I don't like many vegetables unfortunately. I also don't drink tea unless I have a cold and it has a lemon's worth of juice and a tablespoon of honey in it. Odd how I made it through sere school in the army, and I like eating somethings others find gross, like calamari.

That is my regular place, I work right across the street... I have it at least once a week LOL
Most of the time more than that.
I'll buy lunch at Pho 888 to the person that can find the COAR sticker in the area!

I've never had it. However I've heard my dad say pass sum dim taters before. I like taters.

I work with a few people that gag at the sight and smell of anything that once lived in the water. One even said tilapia was too fishy tasting. We had a retirement lunch for our last branch chief and crab cakes were served to every table as an appetizer and one woman had to leave the table because she was dry heaving from the smell.
For me, it's bitter tastes that get to me which is why veggies are a selective group. Took me a while to even be able to drink light beer, guees that's about the only good part of starting to drink in high school. Even now I like craft beers, but I prefer malty (not sweet though) to hoppy. It really sucks because I know I miss out on foods that are good for me and I end up filling up more on the less good for me foods. Beer only came about because it's a test of manhood for a teenager, no one ever made me prove how much of a man I am by chowing down broccoli.

Personally not a fan of dimsum. It comes in "snack size dish, and i n10+ plates to feel like I ate something. Cost and service are another factors.
Heading up to Empress tonight. Heard they have a new cook. We shall see.

Don't you have a date tomorrow?
Lets plan on 11am tomorrow at Star Kitchen on 2917 W Mississippi Ave #5, Denver, CO 80219. (Mississippi and Federal)
After we eat we can change into our short shorts and go drink boba around the corner.
They don't take reservations, so please reply if you can make it.
