I am of Chinese descent, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles. Growing up, my family and I had a pretty steady routine of going out for dim sum on Sundays after church. I moved here last year and was a little sad at how low the standards were for Chinese food. I've tried several restaurants in Denver, and so far I would not consider them worth going to. The dim sum at Empress was dry and oily, and the dinner I had at Imperial was way too Americanized (I wouldn't even consider it ""Chinese""). So I was quite pleased to find Super Star to have delicious dim sum. The place was packed with Asians, which is always a good sign, and the carts were always filled with the usual dim sum fare. I should add this one note though: Although I would probably rank it lower among the restaurants back home in L.A., I would have to say Super Star is in a league of their own in Denver. I'm still in search of more fine Chinese dining, but for now, this place definitely keeps me well satiated.
