Fortune Wok To Table

Understated in almost every way, this nook of a restaurant serves up a very limited menu of Chinese standards, wine and beer. The downstairs serves Chinese street food inspired dishes while the upstairs is more formal. The space is tiny so be prepared to sit close to the table next to you and limited real estate on your table. The seasoning of the food is subdued, bordering on under seasoned. We ordered pan fried pork dumplings that were simply a delicately seasoned ground pork on a dumpling skin... So green onions, no additional ingredients. We visited in the winter so I am not sure if they are paying homage to the cold season devoid of fresh veg, but my shrimp fried rice had a few scant pieces of cabbage and no other veggies. The flavor was gentle and mild. My girlfriend had the stir fried duck noodles. This was the best dish we had. Again a surprisingly scant amount of veg in the mix, but a nice balanced flavor. Overall we enjoyed it and look forward to returning, perhaps try the soups, but we both left asking the question " is our palate just used to over spiced American style foods and this is normal amount of flavor?" I will be back to test through the changing menu to see

Simple menu and FANTASTIC DUMPLINGS. everything else was good, yes, the noodles and fried rice but OMG THE DUMPLINGS. We got an order of pork dumplings - pan fried is the way to go. And they. Were. Outstanding. Truly the best I’ve had in my life so far. We ordered another plate of them before leaving at ate them all. Come here for the dumplings. (And the other food too, of course) Stay for the dumplings. Get the dumplings. Dumplings. That is all I have to say.

I’m very pleased to have come in on a cloudy Friday afternoon. The restaurant is small, but it was very neat & not over crowding. The pan-fried pork dumplings were the best I ever had, soft to crispy ratio was spot on. Pork-rib noodle soup was light & fulfilling + the stir fried noodle shrimp was amazing. Definitely recommend!🤤

Classy place,good food 🥘 friendly staff but U need2 spend a couple dollars 💵 extra to get your Street Noodles 🍝 hooked up the way U see mine in the photo. My Street Noodles 🍝 came out to be 36.00$ l actually know of a couple other places that I could’ve got more bang for my bucks. However I had never tried this spot B4 and my female said she loves this place. (She’s never said that about anywhere) so I had no choice. Once I saw my portion of food 🥘 I had2 put in a second order because there was no way it could have satisfied the both of us. Ended up getting her some fried rice 🍚 which is what she originally wanted anyway. 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 Anyway not a bad spot at all & I’d Mos Def return & try more items from the menu. Also the parking is a nightmare. So check em out if you’re ever in the neighborhood and holla at a Playa 👌🏾

This very strange space in North Cherry Creek has been the graveyard of many restaurants during my time in Denver, but I think it has now found the perfect tenant. The downstairs space is confined by a staircase and the kitchen. It was set up as a bar for a long time, but the bar is gone and there's now seating for two dozen people. There's also a nice outdoor patio, shaded by a large tree. The upstairs is reserved for a formal dinner served at four tables per evening. We came for lunch, though. This place has the most brilliant lunch menu I have ever seen with exactly three items: Jiaozi-style Dumplings, Shanghainese Street Noodles, and Jasmine Fried Rice. Each dish has a few variations. The dumplings can be steamed or fried and stuffed with pork, beef, or vegetables. The noodles and rice can be made with steak, shrimp, vegetables, or duck. There is also a gluten-free River Noodles option. That's it. We started with hot Jasmine tea. The restaurant provided beautiful, porcelain, double-walled tea cups. I had never seen these before. They act like a thermos to keep the tea hot on the inside while keeping your fingers cool on the outside. What an ingenious idea! They worked perfectly. We shared an order of seven fried pork dumplings and a plate of the duck fried rice. Simple dishes, but surprisingly tricky to get right. My friend and I agreed that both were the best executions of these dishes that we had ever tasted. I guess many people in the area agree. The restaurant was packed by noon and take-out orders were flying out of the kitchen. Every single ingredient in the fried rice was clearly fresh. The pieces of duck were moist with an intense flavor. The rice was light and fluffy and all of the ingredients were distinct and tasty without a speck of grease. The dumplings were tender and crispy, fried to perfection, and with a delicious, fresh filling. The dipping sauce was also fresh and flavorful, but not salty. The staff was helpful, efficient, and charming. The dishes came out of the kitchen quickly and were at the proper temperature. I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The owners know what they're doing and execute to perfection. Great job!
