Super Star has at least three menus, maybe four, listing dim sum during the day and dinner after that, with one version for Chinese-speaking customers and another for everyone else, and listing everything from siu mai to shark’s fin soup. The dim sum offerings change every day, and every day they are amazing, overwhelming, habit-forming to the point of being nearly narcotic.

We've lost count of how many different versions of dumplings are served at Super Star; of how many different ways pork can be prepared; of how many huge plates of delicious salt-and-pepper shrimp we've seen disappear just before the cart makes it... More >

When it opened early in 2006, Super Star Asian didn't just raise the bar on Chinese cuisine. It took the bar, broke it over its knee, threw the pieces away and then made an entirely new bar that's held so high you can't even see it from the... More >

If we could go to only one restaurant for the rest of our lives, Super Star would rank high on the list. Although there are probably better restaurants in Denver, sitting in that blank, almost anonymous space (just a restaurant-shaped hole in... More >

I had my very first bowl of shark's fin soup last week at Super Star Asian (see review). As a culinary indulgence, it wasn't worth the money; if I'm paying $46 for a bowl of soup, it had better come garnished with about $38 in small bills. But as ... More >

"Yes, please." "Yes, please." "Yes, please." For two solid hours at Super Star Asian, from one until three on a Sunday afternoon, the food never stopped coming. Brought on carts and plates, on unbreakable orange plastic cafeteria trays carri... More >

JUST SAY NO TO SHARK FIN SOUP. Was really looking forward to going there for Dim Sum. Since I heard that it has some of the best Dim Sum and one of the very few places in Denver to get my favorite thing BBQ pork Bao's. BUT being a huge supporter of the stop shark finning cause. There is no way I would ever set foot in a place that serves Shark Fin soup. Can't believe they are allowed to even serve it. NO way Superstar!! NO way will I ever come to your restaurant.

The spartan Super Star Asian is primarily known for its dim sum, but that's really just the start of what it does. The restaurant has another menu for those days that aren't Saturday or Sunday, those hours that aren't between early morning and just-past-noon. It is this menu that offers the quote/unquote French-style cubed beef in black sauce, the shark's fin soup, the jellyfish salad and the completely non-threatening sesame chicken. As a dim sum restaurant, Super Star is among the best in the city. But as a straight, nose-to-tail Chinese restaurant? There's simply no place better.

Incredible Dim Sum daily. Smaller space than Kings Land and Empress, but that means more chances to flag down a cart! Plus, they have 3 other menus to choose from. Also great for late night snacks since they don't close until late.
