Dumpling Factory

This experience goes back to several weeks ago when I stopped by Dumpling Factory because I had a craving for dumplings (in general.) I really didn't have any high expectations for this place because like many others have rated this place, what you get from here is frankly "mediocre" at its best but at the same time, it's not bad either.I appreciate this place though; it exists in my direct neighborhood. If I want to, I can walk to it. Quality does matter and yet for this business, I'd say I go here for convenience. Well, what is wrong is that, right?I tend to order the same thing again and again. I know I need to be more adventurous. I am almost positive that I got me the veggie dumplings (pan fried.) That is exactly what I got a few weeks ago as well.Very simple interior. As long as it's clean, artful decorations are not necessary.Service is consistently good; this is something I can positively talk about this place.The whole wait time before my veggie dumplings and edamame came out of the kitchen was probably 15 minutes or so. Not bad.At home, I savored my dumplings and edamame. Mmm...not impressive (like I said earlier in this review) and yet as long as it's decent, I'll take it.I need to explore more on the menu to get to know this restaurant. As much as I'd like to be honest about how I feel about their food they serve, if I only know a few items off the menu, it would not be fair to them to give them a mediocre rating. Well today, my 3-star rating is solely based on the veggie dumplings and the edamame; I can always update my review later after I have tried something new. So, stay tuned for that.

What a treat! This small, family owned restaurant offers a great variety on their menu without being overwhelming. We opted for the fried pork dumplings, the cheese won tons and the Xiao long bao. The dumplings were perfectly crispy and the pork and veggies inside were tender and delicious. The bao were also perfectly cooked with a great chewy consistency. The won tons were not my favorite - they had a cheesy filling but not a lot, and they were slightly over fried - too crispy. They came with a couple of packets of sauce. The Dumpling Factory is in a small strip mall, but there's ample parking. It's clean and bright with a few cute decorations but not a lot of ambiance. It would be great to be able to mix varieties of dumplings or order less than 12 of each kind.The service was relatively quick - especially considering the constant take out traffic - and served up with a warm smile. I will definitely be back!

I was excited to try Dumpling Factory as I love fried dumplings. I ordered pork fried dumplings as that is my regular go to. The flavor of the pork, onion and cabbage was really good and the dipping sauce added some additional pop to the dumplings. The second item was cheese wontons. I liked the wontons even though they were really crispy and the cheese flavor inside was ok. I also was not a huge fan of the packaged sweet/sour sauce that came with it, as it was really sweet. The last item I ordered was Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). This was the first time trying them and I enjoyed them very much. The restaurant is very much set up for take-out, but there are a number of tables if you want to eat there. I enjoyed my first visit and look forward to going back to try the ramen dishes on the menu.

I got their noodles with chicken and spicy garlic sauce. You can ask for it to be less spicy ;-) I also ordered their Crab Cheese Wontons, which were $4.00 for 4. Everything was delicious. The gal at the counter was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. Next time I want to try their dumplings. Unfortunately, they only sell 12 for $12.00, not like 4 or 6. Please go and try them. A little North of Union on Yosemite by The French Press.

The lack of ambience might turn some people away...but those folks are missing out.The pork buns, and xiao long bao, are both really good.My wife liked the oil splashed noodles (careful, there's a lot of garlic on these).The pork dumplings are your basic potstickers/gyoza...but better than the average.Some different dipping sauces would be a good touch.The service is good and the whole staff was very friendly!If you are in the neighborhood, it a good place to drop in for lunch.

The noodles are where it's at! Spicy, flavorful and a big portion. So so good.The dumplings were filled nicely, had good texture but I wish they had more variety. The people who work there are very helpful, I had questions and the lady tried to answer but English wasn't her first language. A nice guy ran from the back to explain what I needed to know!It's a very small space inside, maybe 3 tables and a long bar to sit at, we were lucky enough to get a table to enjoy our food there. Make sure to try their boba, it's very soft and melts in your mouth!

Came here on a Saturday around 2pm with the fams. My eight year old is a dumpling connoisseur so we were expecting big things. This place did not disappoint. The lady behind the counter was super nice and sweet. What we swallowed:*PEACH SLUSHIE: This was lacking flavor. Perhaps they needed to add another scoop of powder or something. *LYCHEE SLUSHIE: This one was so good. It was not too sweet, not too mellow. The flavor was just right. *SALT PEPPER CHICKEN: This was my 10-year old's favorite. Crispy batter and moist chicken, what's not to love?*PORK BELLY BUNS: I love me some laughing buns and these were tasty. The bread was soft, the sauce wasn't too overpowering and the belly wasn't too fatty. This was great. 2 in an order. *XLB: Hot and delicious, although hot to eat without a soup spoon and then your mouth burns if you pop it in your mouth. The price we pay for delicious dumplings!*BEEF DUMPLING BOILED: These were good but I thought the green onion to beef ratio was a bit off (heavy on the green onion). My hubby loved it though. *PORK DUMPLINGS BOILED: These were a table favorite (second to the chicken). *OIL FRIED NOODLES: Accompanied by bok choy, these were really tasty. The oil is spicy so we gave our kids the noodles underneath that didn't have so much spice and they loved it. *SESAME BALLS: Hot, crispy and delicious,We loved everything we ate here and definitely recommend coming here! The service is nice, the place is clean and the food is delicious! They serve the food in take out containers (even tho we ate there) so we had to ask for small plates to eat but being we inhaled everything, it wasn't a problem!

Not the best dumpling spot but I think they have potential to become better. I tried their Xia Long Bao, and I don't think they made it there. The skin was too thick and there were no soup in the soup dumpling. Also I didn't really like the fact that everything came in a to go container. I'm not sure why they did that for people who stay to eat, maybe they should get some bamboo steamers, plates and utensils for people who stay. I also tried their oil noodles and it was decent but nothing to ride home about. The bao bun with pork belly was decent but the pork belly was a little bit dry. I don't think I'll come here again to be honest.

Boba Tea is great, good price too. The Soup dumplings were good, but they legit tasted like the ones from trader joes so that was disappointing. Everything also comes in a togo container even when you eat there.

I think we have a new go-to dumpling spot!There are many places to get dumplings in the Denver area but most are just-okay. Typical complaints from my dumpling-loving-kids is soup dumplings with no soup or poorly wrapped dumplings that fall apart. The folks at Dumpling Factory so it right!We tried pretty much all of their offerings and found ourselves very satisfied and impressed with their consistency.The small shop does mostly takeout business from what I could gather. There are two four small tables and two high-tops facing the window if you want to dine-in.
