I love this place. I used to go here when I worked nearby. Now it’s a bit further away, but I find myself craving it and ordering on DoorDash or for delivery. I really love everything here but the Dan Dan Noodles are great. The noodles are so delicate and the favor is perfect. I always want more bok choy but that might be a me thing.

A couple of good vegan options at this stop! We enjoyed the vegan bao and the vegan Dandan noodles! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-25

Phenomenal food, even better hosts, and an immaculate hole in the wall vibe.
They even gave us free egg drop soup!

The prices are great.
They charge the service fee on the bill but found later that they had a notice stating it can be removed.

The foods are nice.

We were in the area looking for food and decided to try Chopstickers after seeing decent reviews on Google. Overall, it’s not bad, but it didn’t impress us enough to become a repeat spot.
We ordered the beef noodle soup. The noodles were slippery and bouncy, and the broth was pretty flavorful. However the beef was not tender at all and quite dry, which was disappointing.
We also had the dan dan noodles but the peanut flavor was very light, and in my opinion, not very authentic compared to traditional dan dan noodles.
One dish that really stood out was the woodear mushroom appetizer. It was surprisingly good—each piece was well coated with garlic, chili sauce. It was very flavorful, came in a large portion, and was reasonably priced. This was easily the best dish we had and something I would highly recommend as an appetizer.
We also ordered the water-fried bao. The bottom of the bao was nicely browned and crispy, while the bao itself was very soft. The meat filling was a bit small and slightly on the dry side (I’ve had juicier versions elsewhere), but it was still tasty overall.
In general, this is a decent place if you’re craving noodles and bao.

Stopped in for a small snack with my husband to tide us over to dinner while we were in Denver. We had the "water fried" vegan bao, which is a bit more like a dumpling than what I usually think of as bao, but it was tasty and really hit the spot. The location is small, but tidy, and since we were there in the afternoon but before the dinner rush, it was relatively quiet. There was outdoor seating that would presumably be nice in warmer weather, but we stayed indoors because it was cold. Their restroom floor is slightly scary in that it looks a bit unstable and cracked, and it definitely showing some wear and tear, but was otherwise fine. Service was friendly and the food came out pretty quick. If I had more time, I would have liked to stop by at some point to try their vegan Dan Dan Noodles, but we didn't end up having a ton of wiggle room on our trip--maybe next time!

Everything was delicious, welcoming place, worth the stop.

I work nearby, and this is one of my go-to lunch stops. The staff are great and remember me now when I come (which I love). My favorites are the Pork Steamed Bao and Dandan Noodles. Especially compared to the surrounding dining choices, Chopstickers is affordable. You can’t go wrong either way! Support local businesses!

Shit was bussing bussing. 10/10 would recommend. It's giving Kung Fu Panda but without the characters.

Chopstickers provided a truly delicious meal for us tonight. The soup dumplings were outrageously good! The beef noodle soups, pork fried rice, and pork potstickers were perfect too. The best of all was the kindness in the service we received from the staff. The warm atmosphere of the restaurant environment was equally delightful, even though we only got takeout tonight. Next time we will dine in to enjoy this with the appreciation it deserves! We loved it.
