    Beef soup with bok choy & rice noodles. Tiger Food Salad (unbelievable!)
    Mandy L.

    This place is outrageously delicious! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding. If I could come here every day I totally would. They also consisted my weird wheat noodle issue and made my soup with rice noodles. I had Taiwanese beef soup with bok choy & rice noodles. The Tiger Food salad is a heavenly combo of julienned cucumber, jalapeño, scallions, and cilantro in savory sauce. Yummmmm. Don't sleep on this place! Come visit! This gem deserves all the love. Skip the stupid cheap chains or Pearl Street ripoffs and treat yourself to Flower Pepper! Maybe Keith Lee can even come by.

    As you enter the establishment, you face the counter first and order your meal. Afterwards, you pick a seat in a narrow hallway with the tables on the right side all facing Broadway street. Food came out after 5-10 minutes. The Seaweed salad was good. Both the Taiwanese Braised beef noodles and the DanDan noodles were served piping hot. Overall, food was not bad. The place was somewhat clean but the tables were very sticky. I will try other Chinese cuisine restaurants for now.

    Overall: Quick no-frills, snack-sized meals. More authentic than most of the Asian restaurants in the area with a variety of dish styles. I'd return for the Beijing zhajiang noodles. Also, they're a mom & pop's shop who do homecooking so they will not have typical Americanized Chinese takeout food. Space: Small with minimal seats in a long and narrow seating area. Very casual. Service: Fast, polite and limited interaction. Price: Reasonable considering their location. Food: Decent selection. Depending on how much you eat, a single dish here is a light meal and may not be enough for a full meal. I probably needed to order an appetizer to be full. -Beijing Zhajiang noodles - Loved this. Not sure if they made the bean sauce themselves but I usually enjoy this dish in general. The fresh, crunchy veggies balanced out the savory bean sauce. -Taiwanese beef noodle soup - Savory but not as rich as I'm used to. My family is Taiwanese and I'm used to a darker broth. Not much meat with about 4-5 small pieces of beef. -Dan Dan noodles - the broth looked and tasted similar to the Taiwanese beef noodle soup except it had chili oil and ground pork and no carrots. Not much meat with a sprinkle of it on one side of the bowl. -Chinese sparerib noodles - Satisfying but not a standout. It tastes similar to the beef noodle and dandan noodle soups I've tried and maybe with some other spice I can't identify. Drinks: Bottled and canned drink options in a fridge near the register. Cold and hot water are tucked around the corner past the register with water cups.

    Potstickers! Really yummy!
    Keith S.

    enjoyed my meal here and would say they probably are more authentic than most Chinese restaurants around here. I say this based off the flavors and how unique they were. I had the the smaller wonton soup, the bok choy side, and the potstickers. I thought everything tasted really good! I also love the small restaurant vibe they have too! Made for a cool experience. The staff was friendly too. Dining in is more for the solo diner, but for family and friends, to go would be a great option. I would say give them a try if you're looking for a more unique experience and some different flavor profiles than you're used to!

    Taiwanese noodle soup

    I want to try out Chinese food. Came across. I ordered the Taiwanese noodles soup. The beef little small portions and very little meat.

    Duck Noodle Soup
    Flame F.

    It is very good and very authentic. Very silent and relaxing to eat here. The food is very very good. I will say that my only complaint is the price, it is very expensive for how little duck they add to the soup. For the cost of our meals we could have ordered an entire duck at most restaurants we enjoy. The bowls are small, could at least have more noodles.

    Still can't sit inside, but you can order to go or sit outside.
    Amber M.

    The best Chinese food in Boulder by a long shot. Currently you still can't eat indoors, but there is a picnic table outside or you can get takeout. Fair prices, delicious food, and reasonable parking, either in the parking lot across the street or on the side streets. Worth it.

    Closes thing to real Chinese (as in what you get in, for example, Beijing) we've found in Boulder. Really enjoy the vegetarian options.

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.

    Pretty basic place no ambiance. Seems more of a delivery spot…read more Service is horrible. No one even said hi when we walked in. You order off a QR code that still asks for a tip They bring out your dumplings no hello or any manners. You need to grab your own water, napkins and silverware. Dumplings are good.
