LingLon Dumpling House

The dumpling sampler we ordered was decent...what was missing, was how to tell each one apart...maybe I missed that on the menu, but I didn't see it anywhere. We also got the beef shank appetizer...it had good flavor, but was hardly even warm...it was above room temp, so I'm assuming it was supposed to be hot.

It was a hot day yesterday and I decided to try some dumplings and noodles at Linglon. I was welcomed warmly. The staff were super friendly, and the food was excellent. The beef soup was clean, light, and healthy-tasting with just the right hint of spices. Their shumai was fresh, clearly homemade, and topped with huge, juicy shrimps. My favorite, though, was the Peking duck gua bao. The richness of the duck paired perfectly with the crunch and tang of the pickled radish and carrot, creating a great balance of flavors. I highly recommend this spot! The place is clean, modern, and the customer service is top-notch.

Tried LingLon Dumpling House with my girlfriend and we were both blown away. The dumplings were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and a solid spot for a casual date night. We’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

It’s ok had beef noddle soup it was blend and the beef is so tough to chew and flavor was just not good. The soup dumpling was better but it could be more favorable. Plus have to order at the cashier. So no tips that good but the machine will still ask you. Over all I wouldn’t come back. It’s just not tasty and beef is just awful to chew.

A solid spot for a quick, tasty lunch. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, and they were delicious—steamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of juicy. The place isn’t fancy, but it’s clean and comfortable, making it a great stop if you’re in the mood for something quick and satisfying. Service was efficient, and the food came out pretty fast, which was nice. If you’re craving dumplings and don’t want to spend too much time waiting, this is definitely a good choice!

Really tasty! We got the fried pork buns, soup dumplings, and beef brisket soup with hand pulled noodles. Was very cool seeing the noodles actually be hand pulled in the kitchen! But just a touch bland and not mind blowing. I really wish their chili crisp on the table was spicier or more numbing. But overall tasty food and the service was great!

Small hole in the wall near University Hills. The menu is limited but everything we ordered was good (xiao long bao, wonton soup, pekin duck gua bao and pork sweet bun). Very friendly host and clean. Would recommend if you’re in the vicinity.

We got a noodle bowl, gua bao’s, and shao long bao. The meat was a little chewy in the noodle soup but otherwise, flavor and taste of everything was fantastic! Highly recommend any of their bun dishes! Everything made to order for my picky kids too!

I am a spoiled big kid in that my parents still make dumplings and freeze them for me to reheat and enjoy. Basically, I am picky when it comes to dumplings. Linglon does it right! The soup dumplings had good flavor and soup! None of them broke while in transport to our mouths/spoons, woo hoo! We tried both the Spicy Mala XLB and Pork and Crabmeat XLB. I think the wrap was a little thick for my liking, but the texture and flavor was good. We also tried the Peking Duck and Pork Belly Gua Baos. Both had great flavor and the toppings all paired well! The standouts for me were the Peking Duck Wonton Noodle Soup and the Shrimp and Chive with Pork dumplings. The noodle soup had great flavor, and the chicken dumplings in the soup reminded me of home. The dumplings also made me nostalgic for home because the flavoring was similar to my parent's dumplings! The service was great even though it is not a table service restaurant. All the employees are so friendly! I will definitely be back!

What a solid experience and this only warrants another trip in the near future. I saw beef noodle soup which is usually my default but I saw a ton of dumplings so I gravitated towards a pork dumpling instead and the Beijing Duck Bao. Both dishes reminded me of the night markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The flavors certainly danced on my tastebuds and I heard angels warming up to sing. I keep telling myself I need to return. Service is far better than many Asian establishments and the small cafe/deli vibe with music is very much appreciated. Will be returning soon to see what the beef noodle soup offers. What a treat! I'll be back!

Ordered: Peking Duck Gua Bao (Steamed) Pork and Crab Xiao Long Bao. Both were hot, fresh, and very good. The Bao Buns were soft and fluffy, very large but the fillings were a good ratio. The XLB were steaming and soft, with a good amount of liquid soup filling. Their chili oil is on the low to medium side of the spice ratio, which is perfect for me, and if you like it hotter, add more! The employee was very sweet and it did not take too long for the order to come out after being placed and paid for at the counter. I would absolutely recommend. LingLao for dumplings and buns and I will be back when I'm in the area again

One of the best meals of my life. A nearly perfect restaurant!! Quick and friendly service, food made with love and without frills, and a clean and comfortable interior. Wish I lived next door.

Wanted a warming snack for dinner last night. So decided to try this gem on my hit list. This place is a true hole In the wall serving some deliciously good food! Everything here was 10/10 Service was quick and joyful. We got the wonton dish that came out first. It was phenomenal, the broth was full flavored with a spice to it that had me licking the bowl. Then the soup dumplings and chicken dumplings. Soup dumplings were some of the best I've had in town. Dynamic flavor that reminded me of the soup dumplings in LA. The chicken dumplings were spectacular as well. Probably the most protein in a dumpling I've had here as well. Composition of the dumplings were perfect along with the texture. Next time trying their noodles and other dishes. Must try!!

Was craving for some soup and XLB on our way to the airport to catch our flight and happened to bump into this mom and pop dumpling house. And I'm thankful we did coz this was as delicious as some of the best dumpling places we've been to. 1. Pork XLB - 7 pcs for about $11. Loved the simplicity of its flavor plus good amount of broth and fat from it. 2. Beef braised noodle - felt so homey delicious. The herbs esp five spice was not overpowering. It was so delicious esp on a 18 degree weather. And my goodness, there was lots of tender braised beef they put in so you will be fully filled and satisfied. 3. Spicy pork and shrimp dumplings - very good and loved the sesame flavor. Very yummy! 4. Pork belly bao - 2 HUGE pcs per order. It was also a knockout! Good belly portions and it was melt in your mouth. Loved the addition of pickled carrots, jicama and cilantro. Well balanced flavor! So glad to bump into this place and hopefully when I'm back here in Denver, I can come and visit again and try their other offerings.

Nice clean restaurant, right next to DQ. I believe this used to be a Chinese restaurant but no resemblances of the past. The owner greeted us and set us at the table with the menu. Since it was the first time, I didn't know what the process was. There was a big sign at the counter that says "order here" so I just walked up and she took the order. Menu wise, a lot of the dishes had pork in it which we couldn't have. Ended up ordering Spicy Chicken Wontons, which was too spicy to the point I was coughing uncontrollably for a few minutes. This dish reminded me of chicken meatball wrapped with wonton skin. Quite dry and maybe the reason why there were so many dishes with pork in it. The Crystal Shrimp was as expected but smaller than Har Gow from the Star Kitchen. I'm assuming all of the dumplings are made fresh in the back room behind the noren. Next visit, I will definitely try South Style Garden Delight and Chicken Wonton Soup, something less spicy.

This is a new dumpling spot in the Denver area that specializes in soup dumplings. It's located in a plaza with fitness equipment so you might miss the location. It is small but there's plenty of seating. It's clean and bright and feels very open. The staff is super friendly. There's a self serving water station. It's a small menu so less decisions. The soup dumplings and the duck bao bun were my favorites. The soup dumpling was very tasty and when you bite into it, soup does come out. The shrimp dumpling is their version of a hao gao from dimsum and it was surprisingly tasty. The dumpling skin was in tact. The chicken dumplings were just okay so I would personally pass on them.

My new family-owned and run dumpling spot! The soup dumplings are juicy and Linglon's chili dumplings are absolutely addicting to snack on. I finished a bowl of them in what felt like seconds, Plus, their fresh and soft bao buns really brings it home when paired with their Peking duck or pork belly protein options. The restaurant itself seats about 20ish people so extra large parties may need to wait a bit if you want to combine seats and tables. But that shouldn't be an issue since the food comes out fast and casual, which is perfect for a quick bite! Ugh, reminiscing my last visit here already makes me want to drive back for more.

The thought of some delicious sides that would nicely accompany the steamed rice I had at home sounded good to me so I wasted no time to stop here yesterday afternoon and got me my favorite, South Style Garden Delight. I also wanted to try something new so I got Five Spice Beef Shank to go along with it. This place is always clean. Like he last time, it was spotless. Service was good as well. The lady who took my order and some other lady who handed me my to-go order were pleasant to me. They both had nice smile on their faces. At home, I started to savor my food in the early evening. Garden Delight was, as usual, so delicious; this never disappoints me. And the new discovery, Beef Shank is now my favorite. It's got some kick in it but the spiciness is easily handled. The cilantro sprinkled over the beef simply did the magic to enhance it. This is a well-seasoned dish to say the most least. I have to try their noodles next time. I feel like I keep saying that (lol) but will do it next time for sure!

This place is so good that we came twice in one week and can't wait to go back. Even our toddler thought it was great! Our favorite is the spicy pork dumplings but everything so far has been amazing!

We decided to try this restaurant for the soup dumpling, a delicacy that up until now I'd only had in NYC. I was very pleased with our visit. The restaurant was very charming, clean, and had the right amount of space to dine in. We ordered the Peking Duck Gua Bao, the chicken dumplings, the pork and crab soup dumplings, and my favorite, the pork soup dumplings I'll start out with the bao buns. It was good, but nothing too exciting, which for me was a disappointment as I love a good bao bun. The chicken dumplings were filled well and very tasty. The best, however, were the pork soup dumplings. They were incredibly tasty and cooked at jist the right temperature. The presentation of all the food was simple yet elegant, and the food itself tastes very homemade. We did try the pork and crab soup dumplings at the suggestion of our very friendly waitress, but I wasn't very impressed with them. The star of the meal was definitely the pork soup dumplings. Overall, my visit here was nice. The taste of the other dumplings could be upped a bit, but I would definitely come back to have more pork soup dumplings!

Nice little place with a cute atmosphere. Welcoming service. Food was good, but nothing really stood out. Not especially bold flavors. I would eat there again if I were in the area, but I would not go out of my way.

New. Fun, fast, casual, U-Hills spot for noodles and steamed dumplings. Nice people offering those goodies as well as steamed stuffed buns. Give 'em a try (and get the cold bottled jasmine tea). What a treat.

Great food, and I was so happy to finally find dimsum that was open at night instead of just for breakfast/lunch. The steamed buns were my favorite, followed by the regular pork dumplings, and a couple of the bean curd dishes. Not terribly out of the way either. Will return!

Unfortunately I can only parrot what everyone else has said. This is a great place. The food is really good, the service is really friendly. It's in a strip center so don't expect much in terms of ambiance, but that's okay. Worry about the food, because that's why you came here. Following in the footsteps of Yelper Rika M, I had the spicy chicken wonton and south style garden delight. Both were very nice. I was still hungry, so I ordered the chicken dumplings, and they were great too. Unfortunately, Linglon is not very close to where I live, so I don't know how soon I'll be able to get back. But I strongly recommend you give it a try.

It's not often that you give a 4-star food place a 5-star rating because of the service, but this is one of those. The team at Linglon is so nice, and it feels like they're genuinely happy that you've come in to their new dumpling shop. The seating here is a little tight, not a place for a big group, nor is it particularly kid/stroller friendly. That being said, everyone who works here does their best to help you make it all work, and it does. It's clean and bright inside, and it feels like a neighborhood Asian food spot. The dumplings are really solid, and it's so nice to have a place like this on this side of town. While everyone comes here for the dumplings, don't sleep on the sides and noodles. They have a menu that goes far beyond soup dumplings, and it shouldn't be ignored. Check out Linglon the next time you're out this way! They're so nice!

With lots of dumpling spots popping up, I really enjoyed Linglon!! But my fave dish was the duck noodles! I could have eaten two bowls. The duck was so juicy and melted in the mouth!

I wish there was more flavor with the food here. Everything is presentable as they should be, but something is missing from the noodles to the dumplings. It leaves you wanting more. My leftovers tasted better the next day, so that tells me they should season their food a bit better.

Such a cute little dumpling shop, tucked away in a strip mall. You'd never know it serves some of the BEST soup dumplings in town! Honestly, theirs have more soup in them than most places around here anymore. And the dough was perfect, thin and light, but strong enough to hold all that soup! I'm drooling just thinking about them again!! I tried both the pork as well as the pork and crab, both were excellent! Also, service was fantastic. Everyone was so unbelievably nice, I'm excited to continue supporting this business!!!

Cozy little spot! You order at the counter and they bring your food to your seat. I ordered the Peking Duck Wonton Noodle Soup. The soup comes with broth, roasted duck slices, 4 chicken wontons and egg noodles topped with scallions and bok choy. The broth was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the roast duck, but they could have put more in the soup considering the price. The noodles were nice and chewy and the bok choy gave a nice crunch. The chicken wontons were a bonus!

There's been a lot of new dumpling places popping up around the Denver metro area and I'm all for it! Sometimes you just want to stuff yourself with 20 dumplings for dinner and call it a night. This was a place I had bookmarked for a while and we met up with a couple of friends to dine here. It is an odd process because they'd like you to order,pay and then grab a seat. I think they will need a clearer way to share their desired process as I saw many people confused or would sit down and wait for service. We ended up ordering an array of different plates to share. We got the pork and pork crab xiao long bao, five spice beef shank,pork belly gua bao, pork dumplings, shrimp and chives dumplings, spicy chicken wonton and braised beef noodle soup. Their xiao long bao skin is still a little thicker than I'd like, but probably has the most broth out of a lot of places around Denver. It had pretty good flavor too. The dumplings have more meat and actually were almost just as juicy as the xiao long baos. The beef shank had good flavor and was pretty tender. I really enjoyed the spicy chicken wontons, they are a on the sweeter side, but I thought it was well balanced. The Gua baos are double the size of the ones we were use to and it was a welcomed size for the price. I would skip the beef soup. A majority of the dishes were tasty and had their own flavor profile. I'd definitely come by again for some dumplings.

ANOTHER DUMPLING PLACE TO TRY YES PLEASE!! It is located in a shopping strip mall by the corner. Winter time it is going to be COLD if you dine in!! The Wind will be so cold every time someone opens the door. Hopefully they fix it by then. It still has that fresh paint smell in the restaurant and simple decoration. The lady was super nice. You gab the menu then order on the front. Then she brings it out to you on a tray so we got 2 trays. Five Spicy beef have no flavor. Wish there s more of the KICK. Pork Guo Bao wishes it came with a FAT PORK BELLY instead of a small slice. The Bao was nicely burn a bit on the outside. Now my favorite SOUP DUMPLING! Wish there was more SOUP in the DUMPING but it was nice and HOT!! Flavor was pretty good with THICK SKIN. Will probably be back to try other thing next time.

Another option to get noodle soups and dumplings. The beef noodle soup has a lot of flavors and tender beef cubes, with soft thin noodles. The chicken dumplings have thin wrapper just the way I like it. Very clean and tidy space with great service.

Ambience was nice. It's a strip mall. service was actually really good. You order upfront at the cash register. And then sit at the table. And they bring your food. The food was amazing. We definitely will be coming back here. The soup dumplings were phenomenal. We also had the chicken dumplings, the pork dumplings and the boe .

After hearing some not so favorable feedback, was in doubt to try LingLon Dumpling House out. It was a pleasant surprise to find out their Xiao Long Bao was actually quite good, on par or better than most of the Xiao Long Bao tasted in town in terms of the texture of the skin, the umami of the soup and the tastiness of the meat filling. Both the soup and the filling were well balanced, not overly light or salty. The skin held the soup pretty well and the dumplings did not leak or deflate until poking of the skin. Heard they kneaded the dough and handmade the Xiao Long Bao every morning to ensure its freshness and quality.

This place is amazing and totally authentic. The owners are from North China and serve up regional dishes, as well as from other parts of China. Very friendly service, too! The "shao mai", typically known as shiu mai, with pork and shrimp was the best shiu mai I have ever tasted.

Went here for dumplings and was pleasantly surprised with everything we tried. The menu has something for everyone. Loved the hospitality and the service we received at this order and sit down restaurant.

Weekly visitors. Soup dumplings reminiscent of those in Hong Kong and the best we've had in CO. . Great for a quick lunch.

Ever since I discovered xiao long bao through Din Tai Fung, I've become obsessed. My entire family lives in Colorado, so we spend a lot of time here. I haven't lived here since childhood, so it is like a new city to me, open to discovery. I had pitched the idea of dumplings to my dad and we had chosen where we were going. Then I realized they wouldn't be open in time. What a stroke of luck, because next on the list was Linglon. By the time we left, every one of us was in a state of postprandial bliss! Having lived in LA for a few years (long ago!), I am a big fan of looking hard at restaurants in strip malls. That is where to find the hidden gems. The exterior of Linglon is unimpressive, and the inside is not style-focused, to say the least. The menu is very specialized, which is good, because they REALLY know what they do best. We had the Spicy Chicken Wontons, Pork XLB, Pork and Crab XLB, and the South Style Garden Delight. It was all SUPER delicious. Everyone is very kind and helpful there, and our food came out relatively quickly. With that food, two sodas, one hot and one iced tea, the bill, before tip, was just $55! We all could have eaten more, although none of us left hungry.

This place is a gem! We were at this shopping center and decided to stop by - we were not disappointed! The place is very spacious and clean! The staff was extremely nice and was helpful when ordering. We also received great suggestions with creating our own sauce at our table using soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil. The bao buns were delicious! The pork just melted in your mouth. I added a little soy and chili sauce to mine for an extra kick! The dumplings were also delicious. We only go one order and I wish we had ordered 5 so delicious! Will definitely be coming back.

Always a guaranteed delicious meal. We order them for delivery so often and they're great that way but it's even better in person.

First try at any dumpling house are the pork dumpling. The 8 dumplings arrived steaming hot in a straw basket. The filing was flavorful and the dumpling wrapper cooked perfectly. Condiments are on the tablecand include chili oil, soy sauce and a vinegar based dumpling sauce. 12.00 for 8 dumplings. Simple setting. Order at the counter and then they bring it out. I will be back to try other things.

These were incredible!! I got the pork xiao long bao and a honey jasmine iced tea. I will definitely be back!!

I love Xiao Long Bao so i really wanted to try this place, even though its a bit far from where i live. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, if a bit plain. The employees were friendly and helpful. I had eaten a bit before i got here so i wasn't too hungry. I got the pork Xiao Long Bao. I though it was good but not great? My criticisms generally are that the dumpling/outer layer itself was thicker than needed, and i wanted more "soup" from these soup dumplings. Other than that though, they were pretty good. I intend to return and order more to get a better taste of their full menu. It seems they have quite a few interesting items that might be hard to find elsewhere. As for now, im giving it a 4/5. Nothing bad but maybe a but of room for improvement? I may upgrade it to a 5 upon my next visit after i try more menu items.

Watch out Denver! There's a NEW dumpling place in town off of I-25 and Yale. We attended their soft opening this past weekend, and we were so impressed! They hit all the items -- modern, clean interior, vibey music, flavor packed food, and to top it all off, they have the sweetest owners! Spicy Pork & Shrimp Wontons (8 pieces) - you must order these! Their chili oil is made in house and is sooo good! Note - if you aren't a fan of spicy foods, I'd still recommend giving this a try. It's a different kind of spice. Mala Pig Ear Salad - I have never been a fan of pig ear, but I CLEANED up this plate. They've taken this item to a whole another level. So delicious. Peking Duck Gua Bao (2 pieces) - these are the thicc-est bao buns I've ever had. The duck is made in house from scratch, and the buns are pan seared on each side to give it that crispy like texture. I've never had anything like this before, and I was instantly in love. Don't tell my husband. Lol Da Lu Mian - our first time having traditional northern style noodles and it did not disappoint! The flavors were not overpowering and once you add a spoonful of that melt-in-your-mouth house made chili oil to the bowl, it's heavenly. Pork & Crab Xiao Long Bao aka soup dumplings (7 pieces) - everyone's favorite! PSA - this is made with REAL crab!! The thickness of the dough is perfect and each one is made from scratch! As this was their soft opening, the owners were super receptive to feedback as we suggested to add more filling and soup. With that being said, perfect juicy ones will be waiting for all of you! Overall, I can't wait for you to try this place! Enjoy! Grand opening will be on Saturday, April 29th from 11 am to 9 pm. First 30 customers will receive a free order of the soup dumplings!

Oh my, I think I'm in love. Don't tell anyone, but this new restaurant in a very humble setting in a strip mall near a dairy queen is fabulous. We shared an order of XLB dumplings that had to have been made in-house minutes before we ate them. we also had an order of the spicy chicken dumplings that were fabulous. I can see there's going to be a line outside the door in the near future. Friendly staff, and a very clean setting, although it is quite modest and small.

I am a huge fan of Taiwanese , Chinese food and so when Linglon opened up, I definitely wanted to give them a try. I'm happy to say that they are fabulous and their employees were super nice too. I ordered the Pecking Duck Bao, Spicy shrimp and pork wonton, soup dumpling and beef noodle soup. This was enough for the two of us and the dishes came out pretty quick. They make the food to order, which I appreciated. The soup dumpling were flavorful, soupy, and the wrapper was thin which was great, I notice some places have thicker skin and I just don't like that. The shrimp and pork wonton had whole shrimp in it and had a great balance of spice and savory, not too spicy at all. The bao buns were soft and fluffy, the pickled radish and the savoriness of the duck complimented each other well, definitely a must try. I also loved the beef noodle soup, tender beef and light broth, with bouncy noodles! It was perfect! Everything was good and I highly recommend you give them a try!

Awesome dumplings as well as Gao buns - delicious mushroom salad to start - can't wait to come back

I had a strong craving for dumplings and this place hit the spot. You can try a wide variety of different types of dumplings here! Recommend the soup dumplings, shao mai, and the pork and shepherd's purse. Order at the counter and enjoy at a table. This is a small restaurant so not ideal for large groups.

This place is a sleeper, and was highly approved by my Taiwanese boyfriend and his brother. Our critique- Pork XLB, Pork and Crab XLB, excellent meat to soup ratio. Flavor and filling was on point compared to Ding Tai Fung. However we prefer the soup dumpling skins to be on the thinner side. However, their flavor was unbeatable so we didn't mind. Came with plenty of ginger on the side if you prefer it that way. Sliced Pig ears, and 5 Spice Beef Shank were outstanding as well, adding their chili oil greatly elevated the dish. Shui Mai and Pork Dumplings were also very juicy, thickness of the wrappers were not too thick or too thin, just right. Beef Noodle Soup, and Spicy Pork Shrimp Wonton, the broth was slightly sweeter than expected however the flavor tasted authentically Taiwanese/Fujian. I highly recommend coming back to this restaurant, the chef/owner is incredibly talented and would be able give Ding Tai Fung a run for its money!

I really enjoyed the dumplings here. I stopped in with a friend who was not as familiar with dumplings, and he enjoyed them, too. The soup dumplings are as good as I have had in the United States. All the dumplings were very good, though. The service was good. It's a small place and nothing fancy for environment. The food really is the reason to eat here.

A nice little counter service dumpling shop. I go for the roasted duck wonton noodle soup, which is lovely. I haven't tried any actual steamed dumplings, but the chicken wontons in the soup are excellent, which is likely a good indication.

some of the worst and highly overpriced chinese food i've ever eaten. Never again at this establishment.

The dumplings were delicious and the service was very good and the place was very clean. Nice atmosphere.

Small restaurant located in a strip mall. You order at the counter and the woman taking orders was very friendly and helpful. We decided to try an assortment of food: Dumplings, Pork Belly Bao Buns, and Duck Wonton Soup. Each dish was fantastic. The Wontons and the Bao Buns were some of the best I've ever had. The Duck tasted great. Great experience here at Linglon Dumpling House... come check it out for yourself.

Went here today and OMG!! New Year's Eve dinner was perfect!!! I love this place. It never disappoints. The Pork and crabmeat soup dumplings are one of the best in Colorado. Fresh noodles are excellent!

If you want some authentic dumplings... give this place a try. Staff are so nice and welcoming. This food is out of this world! Perfect portions and with so much flavor. Taking a bite I can feel the love that the food was made with. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing food with us.

Finally got to try this place after driving by it for awhile. It's tucked away in a strip mall behind a Panera bread so it's not obvious that it's here. The place is counter service and there's limited seating. Definitely not a place for big groups. I'd bring 4 people max. The soup dumplings are delicious and the chicken wonton soup was decent. Noodles are definitely a necessity. While waiting in line a woman in front of me told me the beef noodles were ok. I guess her husband is from northern China and it's a dish regional to his area. She said he thought it was alright but lacked the flavor he was looking for. Not sure what that meant but she was up there ordering another set of soup dumplings so five star review on those from her. It's very casual and tables are tight and close together. It's definitely not a place to hang out for hours. Eat your dumplings and get out.
