Cold food. Not fresh. Inedibly salty. I stopped in with a recommendation from a friend who lives in Denver. I love dumplings and I love Dan Dan. When I walked in no one came to the front. It was 4:30 on a Tuesday and all of the other restaurants near the station were very busy with outdoor seating, etc. I was not sure if I should sit down or order at the counter. I grabbed a menu from across a counter and someone came over to take the order. He did say “hi” without looking at me. I asked for the Dan Dan and an order of dumplings. There was 1 couple seated there. He gave me a buzzer. I sat down and the buzzer rang. Upon first bite the dumplings were cold and definitely not fresh. The Dan Dan was also cold and so salty i could not eat it. I ended up throwing it all away. I do not recommend this place.

When I die...I want to be laid to rest in a coffin full of Anna's Szechuan Braised Beef Noodle....with her potstickers and bao sprinkled on my casket by my loved ones as it's slowly lowered to my final resting place. No kidding...I'm putting it in my will.

Favorite quick eats restaurant in downtown Denver. The bao buns and fried rice are incredible and pretty inexpensive. The Dan Dan noodles are also very tasty. Can't go wrong with anything on the

Pork belly bao is really small and taste bad because they add wrong sauce.The beef noodle soup is too salty.Even the rice is not cook well.I am so disappointed. I DO NOT recommend.Pork belly bao es muy chiquito, y pequeño. La salsa añadida no es correcto. La sopa de res es salado.Yo no lo recomiendo nada.El arroz es muy duro.The dumplings were very small and even had sweet bean sauce added, which was terrible! The beef noodles are so salty! Even the braised pork rice was not cooked through! Really not recommended! Don't come! Very disappointed!

Not sure where all the positive reviews come from. This place was a big disappointment. First the cleanliness was terrible. Bottles of sauce all crusty and gross. The sauces not in bottles were cold and fat coagulated in the sauce. The food was lukewarm. Bao bun was undercooked. Dumplings were browned but not even warm. And I’ve had better fried rice at Trader Joe’s. Worst of all pretty sure I got sick from one of the above. Hopefully they get it together or the health inspectors are gonna have a field day.

Best Asian food I’ve eaten out in so long. Super cheap for the portions and kind service. Must try the bao’s! A must try if you find yourself in the area and wanting some good, flavorful Chinese food.

I've never had a disappointing experience here. Absolutely amazing food that is cooked timely and the seating is cozy. It feels like home!
This place is great. Tried both the boulder and this location and both are delicious with generous portions. The price is fair and the service is quick. No complaints at all!!

Service was friendly, nice atmosphere. 15% service fee is clearly mentioned on both website and at the order counter. A little weird as the place is setup for self service, buzzer to pick up food at counter and a trash / dirty dish area, self service drinks, etc.Had the Ma Ma's Potsticker and the Za Jiang Mian. Potstickers were disappointing, lack of flavor. Za jiang mian was okay, nice portion with a lot of fresh vegetable.Parking: Metered street parking.

The staff are very friendly, self service but auto added 15% gratuity. Good ambience. I ordered Dan Dan noodles, it just tastes weird somehow, it was supposed to be spicy but I can't taste the spice, leaves a weird after taste. Have had Chinese noodles before in NYC Chinatown and California but this is just weird.

Everything is bad. We ate just that we are starving. İt's empty place you see because has dry, cold and salty dumplings .If you want to eat noodle you can take any instant noodle from Costco you can make it at home. It's self-service. I think it's waste of money and waste of time.
