Dumpling Legend

Northern Chinese dumplings and a soup-dumpling tasting meal

South Lewis Way, Lakewood

2595 S Lewis Way Unit C, Lakewood, CO 80227303-479-4382

The operator explicitly describes this South Lewis Way branch as serving traditional northern Chinese handmade dumplings. Its matching MealKeyway menu separates regular dumplings, Soup Dumpling and Dim Sum sections, with savory Xiao Long Bao and pork shumai alongside named vegetable dishes.

Build an order. Start with Original Xiao Long Bao(10) $16.00, then Pork Shumai(4) $8.00. Shrimp Dumpling(4) $8.00 appears under Dim Sum, but its card has no explicit crystal-wrapper or har-gow proof.

Pork & Cabbage Dumpling(10) $16.00 is a separate regular dumpling; Pork & Cabbage Dumpling in Hot & Sour Soup(8) $14.00 is described as Kurobuta pork dumpling in hot & sour soup, which is external soup rather than evidence of internal broth.

The Original cards describe Kurobuta pork, wheat flour and green onion; Kimchi and Cheese add their named ingredients, Szechuan describes spicy pork, Mushroom and Chive name those additions, Seafood describes pork, shrimp, scallop and chili oil, and Crab Meat describes pork and crab meat. These are savory cards, separate from the Dessert section.

The linked MealKeyway page instead displays Friday 11 am–9 pm at this check; call 303-479-4382 to resolve that half-hour difference.

Hu Nan Express

General Tso’s tofu and named vegetarian choices

South Sheridan Boulevard, Lakewood

145 S Sheridan Blvd #205, Lakewood, CO 80226303-238-2233

Hu Nan Express’s selected operator site identifies the Sheridan Boulevard branch and links its Chinese Menu Online menu. The Vegetarian section names General Tso’s tofu, orange tofu and mixed vegetables; the restaurant name alone is not used to claim a Hunan regional kitchen.

Build an order. Choose General Tso's Tofu $11.99 from the Vegetarian section. Steamed Chicken Dumplings $5.99 and Steamed Pork Dumplings $6.25 are separate appetizers with no serving count printed in their titles. Orange Tofu $11.99 and Steamed Mixed Vegetables $10.99 are also named vegetarian choices; confirm sauce and dietary requirements directly rather than assuming every dish is vegan.

Before you go. The selected hunanlakewood.com site lists Monday–Saturday 11 am–8:30 pm, Sunday closed. The second same-phone branded site hunanexpresslakewood.com instead lists Monday–Saturday 11 am–8:15 pm; it also omits suite #205. Call 303-238-2233 to resolve the fifteen-minute difference. The selected ordering site requires an account at checkout, which was not entered or created; only its public menu and delivery information were read.

Delivery: via apps The operator-linked delivery page says orders are fulfilled by trusted third-party delivery services, within five miles, with a $15 minimum and $7.98 fee. Confirm the current address eligibility and final terms before ordering.

Fortune City

Mongolian beef dinner combination with an egg roll and rice

South Wadsworth Boulevard, Lakewood

1939 S Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80227303-986-8887

Fortune City labels itself a Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant. This guide selects its Chinese dinner-combination menu, rather than relabelling its Vietnamese rice-noodle dishes or Thai curries as Chinese; the same menu also names tofu choices and dumplings.

Build an order. In Dinner Combination Platters, 2. Mongolian Beef $15.25 is served with an egg roll and fried rice. From Hot Appetizers, 4. Dumplings (6) $10.50 offers a choice of pan-fried or steamed dumplings. In Vegetables, 3. Sesame Tofu $17.95 is a separate full entree. The lunch Pork-section 4. Twice-Cooked Pork $12.75+ has a literal starting plus and belongs to Monday–Saturday 11 am–3 pm, not the fixed-price dinner combination.

Before you go. Business, Carryout and Delivery Hours are all listed as Monday–Thursday 11 am–8:30 pm, Friday–Saturday 11 am–9:30 pm and Sunday 4–8:30 pm. The page description says currently offering carryout via online ordering, while the page also publishes delivery hours and embedded own-fleet ordering metadata. Call 303-986-8887 to confirm whether delivery is currently available and its final fee, minimum and radius; no checkout or order was attempted.

Delivery: direct The operator homepage publishes Delivery Hours; its linked Menufy ordering page’s embedded metadata names DeliveryModeOwnFleet, although visible descriptive text currently emphasizes carryout. This is advertised direct delivery, not a completed eligibility check. Confirm current delivery availability and final terms by phone.

Szechuan Chinese Restaurant

Half duck with rice and a separate dumpling appetizer

West 6th Avenue, Lakewood

9090 W 6th Ave, Lakewood, CO 80215303-232-4558

This West 6th Avenue branch has its own operator contact page and a linked ChowNow menu. The selected meal is half duck with rice, distinct from the guide’s northern dumpling meal and Hunan beef choice; the menu also offers generic steamed or pan-fried dumplings.

Build an order. Order Crispy Duck | Half with Bone $17.85, whose card says it is served with steamed or fried rice. Dumplings (6) $10.45 is described as pan-fried or steamed and does not identify a soup-dumpling category. Sesame Chicken $16.85 is a separate spicy dark-meat option, also served with steamed or fried rice. The label Half with Bone is a portion description, not a dumpling piece count.

Before you go. The operator lists Monday closed; Tuesday–Thursday 11 am–9 pm; Friday 11 am–9:30 pm; Saturday 11:30 am–9:30 pm; Sunday 11:30 am–9 pm. The linked ChowNow page displayed the next available pickup at 11:15 am and DeliveryUnavailable at the early-morning check. Treat that as the current online fulfillment display rather than proof that other delivery channels never operate. The operator also prints secondary phone 303-232-4580; the main contact number is 303-232-4558.

Pickup only At the check, the operator-linked ChowNow menu showed Pickup and DeliveryUnavailable, with the next pickup at 11:15 am. This status describes that selected ordering channel; it does not establish that every other delivery route is unavailable. Confirm alternatives by phone.

Lu House

Hunan beef from a mixed Chinese, Thai and Japanese menu

Youngfield Street, Lakewood

2098 Youngfield St, Lakewood, CO 80215303-232-9411

Lu House’s operator menu separates Chinese dinner choices, Thai entrees and Japanese entrees. Its Chef’s Specials explicitly names Hunan Beef, giving this guide a menu-backed regional dish without claiming the whole restaurant serves only Hunan cuisine.

Build an order. Choose Hunan Beef $18.50 from Chef’s Specials; that section says it comes with fried or steamed rice and a choice of egg drop, hot and sour or wonton soup. Salt & Pepper Tofu $13.25 appears in the separate Vegetarian section. Dumpling (8 pcs, Steamed or Fried) $10.25 is the literal appetizer title, with eight stated in the label and no soup-filled, har-gow or siu-mai format claim.

Before you go. The operator location page lists Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 11 am–9:30 pm; Wednesday closed; Friday–Saturday 11 am–10 pm; Sunday 4–9 pm.

Shrimp pan-fried noodles and a separate spicy shrimp dish

South Kipling Parkway, Lakewood

1535 S Kipling Pkwy Suit #D, Lakewood, CO 80232303-986-2232

He-Xing Garden’s operator explicitly describes a Chinese and Thai restaurant at the Kipling Parkway branch. The selected Chinese meal combines its shrimp pan-fried noodle dish with another seafood choice; Thai curries are separate menu sections and do not establish the Chinese meal.

Build an order. Choose Double Pan Fried Noodle w/ Shrimp $17.95 from Seafood, or Salt & Pepper Shrimp $17.95, marked Spicy. Steamed Dumpling (8 pcs) $8.95 and Pan-Fried Dumpling (8 pcs) $8.95 are separately named appetizers; their preparation and count do not establish soup-filled, har-gow or siu-mai format.

Before you go. The operator site lists Monday–Thursday and Sunday 11 am–9 pm, Friday–Saturday 11 am–9:30 pm. The source spells the suite as Suit #D, retained with the exact branch.

Chinese Gourmet

A Chinese soup noodle bowl with an explicitly selected vegetable option

Quail Street, Lakewood

1545 Quail St, Lakewood, CO 80215303-238-8839

Chinese Gourmet’s matching-branch operator menu has an explicitly titled Chinese Soup / Noodle Bowls section. A rice-noodle soup bowl makes a distinct meal here; the operator also separates Thai curries, vegetarian choices and pot-sticker appetizers.

Build an order. Choose Soup Noodle Bowl w/ Rice Noodles $15.75 with the Vegetable option. Its Chinese Soup / Noodle Bowls section says egg or rice noodles and does not include rice; vegetable, beef, pork and chicken are $15.75, while shrimp and combination are $16.75. Wor Wonton Soup $10.50 is a separate soup. Steamed Dumplings (7) $8.50 and Fried Dumplings (7) $8.50 are described as Pot Stickers, without internal soup, har-gow or siu-mai format proof. The Vegetable option is a named menu choice, not a guarantee about broth or vegan ingredients.

Before you go. The operator site lists Monday and Wednesday–Saturday 11 am–9 pm, Tuesday closed and Sunday noon–8:45 pm. The linked Main Menu separates lunch pricing and dinner-combination supplements from the selected bowl prices. Its delivery page advertises a six-mile radius, $15 minimum, free up to four miles, $2 up to five miles and $3 up to six miles; confirm actual address eligibility and final fees.

A little more clarity.

Where are the listed Chinese restaurants in Lakewood?

All seven are Lakewood, Colorado branches on the named street corridors: Lewis Way, Sheridan, Wadsworth, West 6th Avenue, Youngfield, Kipling and Quail. The Denver guide’s Denver, Aurora, Glendale and Englewood branches are not reused. No Chinatown district or historic geography claim is established by this restaurant-source research.

Where does this guide list soup dumplings and dim sum?

Dumpling Legend lists a regular Soup Dumpling section with savory Xiao Long Bao and a Dim Sum section with Pork Shumai(4). Its weekday lunch Xiao Long Bao labels are separate six-piece orders available Monday–Friday 11:00–15:00. The generic Shrimp Dumpling(4) card does not establish har-gow format. Call to resolve Friday’s 9 pm versus 9:30 pm closing-time discrepancy.

Which regional Chinese choice is supported by the menus?

Dumpling Legend explicitly describes northern Chinese handmade dumplings. Lu House’s Chef’s Specials specifically names Hunan Beef; that supports a Hunan-labelled dish at a mixed Asian restaurant, not an exclusive Hunan identity. The other mixed operators’ Thai and Vietnamese menu sections are not relabelled as Chinese.

Which named vegetarian options were verified?

Hu Nan Express has a Vegetarian section with General Tso's Tofu and other tofu choices. Lu House’s Vegetarian section names Salt & Pepper Tofu. Dumpling Legend names Vegetable Dumpling(10), and Chinese Gourmet’s Chinese noodle bowl has a Vegetable option. These names do not verify broth, cross-contact or vegan preparation; confirm specific requirements directly.

How should I compare prices and delivery options?

Compare the selected channel and service window: Dumpling Legend’s weekday lunch portions differ from its regular portions, Fortune City has separate lunch and dinner combinations, and Lu House uses displayed operator menu amounts. Hu Nan Express’s linked delivery page explicitly names third-party fulfillment; Szechuan’s linked ChowNow showed delivery unavailable at the check. Other advertised delivery terms still require address eligibility and final-fee confirmation.
