Food is decent for its geographical location. Service is excellent- Cantonese style (friendly, prompt, and on the ball). Awesome evolving Chinese menu and you can order Chinese style. Their cooks are great because you can verbally ask for something and they will do it properly. If they can’t, they will let you know instead of making a crappy version of it. Great selection of live seafood- lobsters, crabs, prawns, and different classes of grouper. Cooked properly. Yum Chai (Dim Sum) is better than most in Denver but every dim sum place here has some dishes that are better than others. The place is busy so you don’t see a lot of the normal size carts. But this place has authentic hard to find dishes that are Vietnamese-Chinese place just have never heard of. The best thing about his place is they do not even bother with mid western American tastes (lack of tastes). Does not over salt or MSG their food to satisfy their cravings for high blood pressure strokes. Go there in big groups for dim sum or you will be on a 45 minute wait list on weekends. Definitely, cater to Chinese people but you are starting to see huge diverse groups.

The food is diverse, with many offerings from every type of shrimp dumpling, pork blood, turnip cake and chicken claws to some beginner/American friendly dishes like dumplings etc. The wait staff are friendly, but you do have to do a little bit of research before hand because their service models depends on efficiency. If you do not speak mandarin or Cantonese, that’s okay because as the cart workers come by, they will show you every dish and you just have to say yes or no. Honestly if you just try the shu mai, I think you could eat that for a whole meal! Also if you don’t know this already- but there’s no dim sum at night here! It’ll be all a la carte after the afternoon, but no worries- the food is still delicious. Try the lobster with noodles, the lobster juice is cooked into the noodles so it’s extra flavorful.
