Colorado's First Authentic Chinese Hotpot Restaurant!In China, one of the more popular ways to dine out with friends is to hit a hot-pot restaurant. At these often raucous halls, you order a bubbling cauldron of broth — in Sichuan, it’ll be spicy; northerners tend to like milder lamb broth — and then dump in a progression of thin slices of fat-ribboned meat, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and noodles. Once everything is cooked, you fish out a morsel with your chopsticks and dip it in a custom made dipping sauce or maybe some sesame paste, eat it and then start all over. It’s an interactive experience like fondue, and a good way to while away several hours. Here at The Bronze Empire, we bring the interactive experience to you with the most authentic flavors, freshest ingredients and knowledgeable staff to help make sure your visit to our restaurant is memorable, delicious and most importantly, fun!

At Dumplin’, we celebrate the universal love for dumplings—those little pillows of dough with endless possibilities. Inspired by Frank Bonanno’s playful style, Dumplin’ offers a global take on favorites like ravioli, bao, and kreplach. Ask for: Steamed, pan-seared, or boiled? Rocks, up, or neat? Chopsticks, fork, or fingers? Expect: A 1968 billboard urging you to “consider the un.” We honor it with cacio e pepe ramen, whipped tofu hummus, extinct whiskeys, and jelly beer. Expect the un.
