    Stopped here for lunch with a group of 7 people. We were seated right away. Our server was excellent. Took our drink and food orders asap and the food came out quick! We ordered a large variety of items from the menu and everyone enjoyed their meals. Great pho spot!

    Rare Steak and Tripe Pho (Small)
    Michelle N.

    Came from SoCal and it was at the point in the trip where it's Viet food or it's over. We found this pho place and it looked pretty trustworthy compared to other places I found. I got the Small Rare Steak and Tripe Pho. The portions were perfect and enough to get me full. The meat was tender and the trip wasn't crazily chewy. I wish there was more trip in it though! The broth was a bit light in flavor and a bit oily, but not something that ruins the taste of the meal. I'd definitely vouch for this place if anyone was craving pho and didn't know which one was tasty.

    Rare Steak and Brisket Pho (Tai Nam) with added shrimp
    Caspian S.

    Every year we come to Boulder and we always eat here at least once. Everything on the menu is excellent. Food is fresh and freshly made to order. Once you eat this Pho it's hard to eat pho anywhere else! Pork dumplings and the Vietnamese wings were excellent.

    BBQ Pork Pho

    We were looking for good pho and we found great pho! Had the shrimp spring rolls and BBQ Pork Pho... as many other reviewers have said their bowls are large. Definitely coming back here!

    Vermicelli bowl is 10/10. Everything is right in the bowl from vermicelli to pork, beef and spring rolls (especially their spring rolls, you should other extra for your bowl). Their fish sauce is perfectly made. Pho is good but it didn't blow me away. The meat is good, but the broth and noodles are standard. It's enough to satisfy your craving though. This high quality is rare even in big Vietnamese hub such as Orange County, CA or Houston, TX. Boulder doesn't have that many Asian restaurants to begin with, I didn't expect the food to be this good here.

    Rare Steak and Brisket Pho (Tai Nam) and Combination Pho (Dac Biet)

    Their Vietnamese spring rolls with the peanut sauce is a def to order when you go there. It's exactly the way it's made and what I like it the lightness of this appetizer. The light spring roll with the flavor bomb peanut sauce just goes so well together. They should sell that peanut sauce lol ;) I got the combination pho which is Steak, brisket, tendon, tripe and meatball. You have to order a medium or large bowl if you choose this and my husband got the Steak and Brisket. I'll be honest the tendon felt pretty uncooked and hard and stiff so I took it out. I think the best option is the rare (p.s the meat is so thin that it cooks in the hot water) Steak and Brisket. Overall good experience

    Forgot to take a photo of my large pho but it's super large and will definitely fill you up! The prices are decent and fair but their vegetable pho was not that great and I've had better pho in the past. Also their service here is super slow and the waiter was not good at checkin on u and we only saw them one and never again. Their boba is good and fair price for he size, would come back for the boba but not the pho.

    Grilled Shrimp Noodle bowl

    The food was really good. However, I ordered the grilled shrimp noodle bowl and to my surprise a portion of the shell was left on the shrimp I could have choked on the shell and brought it to the waitress attention who didn't speak a word of English! As I went to pay my bill, I mentioned it to the gentleman that was helping me at the cash register and said he was the owner and he didn't seem to be bothered. With the fact there was the tail ends still on my shrimp!! Will not be coming back to this location.

    Egg rolls are ridiculously good. Had the rare beef and meatballs pho, which was also delicious.

    The restaurant has been in north Boulder for many years. Their space had been on street front in…read moreground level of the old hospital and medical offices parking garage. The difficulties with are in my previous reviews. Now much of the facility has been torn down and the ongoing construction of the space to be city staff offices and the bigger space to be affordable housing had become impractical to use or eat at the restaurant. The noise was deafening. In January they moved to a food court on the Hill. This is a lower level of a building with other tenants. There are about 6 food kitchens and each time I have been here this summer and fall, this is the busiest at lunch. Since the seating is communal there is always space and it is clean. The staff here have been really nice. If I'm preparing a meal at home or supplementing leftovers, I have stopped by to get a fave vegetable, baby bok choy, steamed and seasoned and at an affordable side dish price. Today my husband and I walked down for lunch and ordered the Tuesday special street crepes some of the owners have continued from the long gone first owners from Beijing. As with other succeeding owners, they too have continued to use lettuce rather than the bok choy in the crepe. It also has some ham, scallions and crispy wonton bits and a nice spread of hoisin. It is topped with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds that I love. Another difference from the original is that the ingredients of the crepe itself are not well mixed together so many large patches of separate egg white and yolk makes it harder to hold together and not as pretty. But it tastes just fine but original years ago was addicting. I will continue to come here try more of the food from the current owner. I love beef noodles and have 2 other places I can get a good version but this is the most walkable for me. They do very nice prep for takeout which is good too. At lunch it is busy with CU affiliated students, staff and faculty alike. Every item I have had at Flower Pepper is hand made and prepared for the customer.

Not pictured, we also ordered the duck soba noodles and the scallops. Everything tasted delicious. I do wish that I had saved some of the soba for when the hamachi came out but I did order those later. I would have preferred the hamachi to come with a bit of rice on the side but my boyfriend didn't mind the salad. It's a great date spot and if we were to sit inside there's options for Japanese style floor seating. When you go inside they ask you to take off your shoes and provide slippers for the restroom. It feels very relaxing and home-y.

Izakaya's are Japanese bars that have quick bites and snacks to choose from. I was excited to see we were heading in. Once arrived on Sunday night we were greeted and welcomed. Asked if we would like to take our shoes off and walk in as in Japanese culture this is very common. It really felt like I was in a Japanese izakaya in Japan We ordered - Tofu Steak - Baked Salmon w/ ikura & rice - Duck Skewers - Salmon Carpaccio Everything was delicious and cooked well. I could have ate 2 bowls of the salmon. Everything is nicely sized but a good size to not get too full to order more. This location is combined with another sushi restaurant and it's cool to see the sushi being made in front of you. Will be back!!

Let's start with the cons. 1st off, it would be an order at the counter but they try their hardest to have you get a table and order off your phone, with QR codes everywhere. I had it ready to order off my phone and then it wanted only Google pay, which I don't have hook up to any card. So we had to redo the order on my husband phone. There was not cashier or anyone to ask questions to, not even a greeting when we walked in. When checking out, it automatically asked for 20% tip, I have no waiter or anyone to talk to, why the tip request? Order a couple of things which came out at different times. I did see the sign saying expect 20-25 mins per meal, with it being quite dead in the place I figured our two dumpling orders would at least come out together. I was already done with my meal when my husband's came out. The bathroom! Come on! Not the fact you have to walk through a storage room to get to it, the fact it was so poorly stocked. No toilet paper, paper towels couldn't be in the wall container, but stacked high where a small adult like myself could barely reach it, let alone a kid. Two wall soap dispensers neither were filled, the store bought soap on the sink was almost out. Now why would you say it got three stars? The pan fried dumplings were huge and you got 10 pieces per order. The soup dumplings were good but got super sticky when I tried to wait to eat before the others came out. Pancakes app were great especially with vinegar. Would have appreciated maybe a green onion ginger sauce to be a topper options for the dumplings. The huge pan fried dumplings saved this place, would I go back... Undecided.
