Everything about this place is amazing. The vegan options are delicious, especially the chili wontons. If you have the hot green tea with the eggplant dumplings, it's heavenly. One of the best spots with vegan options in Denver.

Gourmet dim sum is so on the rise in Denver which makes it a great time to be alive as is the whole experience at Yuan - The restaurant is such an enjoyable, original layout with large, open-air environs, ample patio seating and a view of the kitchen where you can watch the lovely owner and head chef enjoying her craft in such a content manner that you can't help but join her in the feeling. You can easily ignore the view to the kiddies' excitement at the nearby playground or periodically watch through just a little foliage which punctuated this experience as bliss in community.
I actually give a 4.5 rating but round up to 5 given this delightful scene. Sorry but I'm a perfectionist when it comes to trendy, talented restaurants/bars.
I had the Chili Oil Wontons, Szechuan Eggplant Dumplings, sake, both cocktails and Mantou for dessert.
All was extremely fresh, thoughtfully presented and delectable, particularly the Chili Oil Wontons as the best tasting item, careful though, watch how much oil you use in each bite because the spice level can sneak up on you, lol. The menu is surprisingly small but made up for in quality. Are there really only 2 cocktails to choose from? At least that's all I saw on the happy hour menu. If there's anything I would ask it would be to expand their repertoire in that arena. Both are quality though.
The service ranges from professional to personable depending on your liking but it is absolutely top of the line here!! Everyone is so keyed-in to providing a memorable experience and with everything else I already described, life is beautiful here.

Love this spot. Owner and chef team are pure genius. Service is next level.
Every single thing we’ve ordered from here has been heavenly. Got too full for the beef chow fun so will be back for it.
Rob and Marissa took excellent care of us. Loved chatting with them through the night, trying to be mindful that we’re sitting at the bar.
Our only struggle is making sure we’re tipping enough. For the food, service, and atmosphere, we always want to take even better care of this group.

The food is freaking awesome. Enjoyed the pork dumplings and the prawn dish. Too bad they close at 6pm. But worth it if you can get here before.

Amazing food, went here for my birthday, and I always bring friends to try it. Crispy garlic noodles, chili oil wontons, shumai, and bao buns are my favorite. Great atmosphere, service is timed well, dishes always come out one after the other perfectly.

Random neighborhood with great food. Great flavors. Small but mighty dishes.
Excellent food, limited menu and hardly any vegetarian dishes. I will definitely go back.

A couple of stand out ingredients in some of the dishes, but the food lacked salt overall and the portion sizes were small for how much it cost. It feels like a typical product of gentrification.

Yuan Wonton is, without question, one of the best restaurants I’ve experienced in Denver. From start to finish, the food was world-class—perfectly executed dishes bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding; staff were so attentive that my cup of sake was never allowed to run empty. Every detail of the evening felt deliberate and refined, making the whole operation feel Michelin star–caliber. An absolute must-visit for anyone who loves exceptional dining.

Preface this review by saying that my baseline is Chinese dimsum on the east coast since childhood. I was super excited for a lunch with childhood classics elevated.
The food was presented beautifully and the flavors were great. Servers were attentive and friendly. You can also tell that everything was homemade (not overly processed).
My disappointment was that it was too similar to my baseline. If anything, if it was a blind taste test, I am not confident that I would be able to tell the difference.
Lastly, the Bolo Bao was more a Mexican concha. It taste delicious on its own, but not accurate/authentic to call it a Chinese pineapple bun. If it is the restaurant’s take on it, I think it is deceiving to not mention that.
