Been coming here for close to 10 years. It’s a Denver staple. Dan Dan, Potstickers and Xiao Long Bao are the must haves. If you want to help them and help yourself. Know what you want ahead of time. Make your order quantity worth their while. Don’t be obnoxious. Don’t ask to split your check. Don’t make a big mess. The whole point is to be quick and efficient, as there aren’t many seats and the hours of operation aren’t very long. It’s a small restaurant, with an even smaller staff that are keeping the tradition of Lao Wang alive and well. Have had nothing but positive experiences every time I’ve been there and our visitors from out of town would say the same. We’ll continue to be patrons as long as Lao Wang’s doors are open. Cheers.Edit: I was there when one of the one star reviewers from below wasn’t served for ordering too little. They were a group of 5 or 6 adult men sitting in the only space that can accommodate that many people in the middle of the restaurant as it opened at 6pm on a Saturday night. Momma Lao Wang was kind and was explaining that’s too small of an order especially for their group size. The guys explained they were on a dumpling tasting mission across Denver and didn’t want to increase their order. So the daughter in law came out from the kitchen and explained that it was insulting to Mom and they weren’t going to serve them. So in short. Don’t be these guys. Don’t come in and take up prime real estate in a restaurant that seats 20-25 people and is only open for a couple hours for dinner and try and order two or three items off the menu for your entire group. It was insulting and she was in the right. The table was filled by a family right after you left. And the restaurant was completely full by the time we finished our meal. It’s hysterical that you came on here to give them a 1 star review.

Well that was... Not good. We never actually got our food because the owner never put our order in. Apparently we offended her by ordering too little. That's a first.On to LingLon Dumpling House!

They don't even have the beef noodle as their restaurant name suggested. The dandan noodle was horrible, basically the overcooked noodle with soy sauce on it. The hot dumplings were using extremely thick flour shell, had to swallow.. definitely one of the restaurants you should

Food is excellent-- especially the soup dumplings, pot stickers, and dan dan noodles.. People complain about the service but it's a mom and pop shop and you go for the great food.

Best Taiwanese food in Denver!! Authentic food and great service. Ignore the bad reviews from Karens and Kyles. Just be respectful of them and you'll enjoy your meal. Very affordable too.

I struggle on this one. Could be so much better, but food small portions for the price - example, half full medium smaller sized bowl of DanDan Noodles $11 - and pretty lackluster atmosphere and service mean much better choices out there. On plus side, easy to find a seat when open, as so few go there any more and dumplings not the worst I have had in Denver.

The food is okay at best, super overpriced, and really small portions. I was really excited to try this place as it had been recommended a ton of times, and ended up spending almost $60 on four dishes I wouldn’t even consider appetizer size- both me and my girlfriend left hungry. The actual noodles are pretty good, but the price is just insane for the amount served, and the flavor of the overall dish is just… okay. The soup dumplings are very overhyped compared to other restaurants in the area. I can think of 10 other places in the area that serve better tasting food with better portion to dollar ratio, plus you don’t have to deal with the sassy servers.

I love hole in the wall places but the food portions were more like sides and the white lady in the spandex serving us was incredibly rude, barking at us for asking a simple question. It was actually kind of bizarre because we were polite, we just needed clarification on the payment situation. It was $60 for a few dishes and no drinks and we left hungry.
