Nana’s Dim Sum and Dumplings is preparing to open in Littleton, continuing its rapid rise across the Denver metro and beyond, according to the Denver Business Journal. This new location will debut sometime next year, though address details have not been disclosed yet.
Founded by married restaurateurs Jack Lu and Kelly Ou, the concept takes its name and inspiration from Kelly’s grandmother, “Nana,” whose recipes anchor the menu. The eatery blends traditional Chinese cooking with a modern neighborhood dining experience. Its menu centers on handmade dumplings, dim sum dishes, and other Chinese specialties, all prepared from scratch.
The couple launched the first Nana’s Dim Sum and Dumplings in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood in October 2023, and it has become one of the fastest-growing local restaurant groups, expanding to seven locations with four more in development. What Now Denver has covered a number of the openings.
Alongside Littleton, upcoming restaurants are also planned for Denver’s Golden Triangle, Longmont. It will also expand to Hoboken, New Jersey, its latest out-of-state venture after expanding to New York earlier this year.
