    Lemon chicken (made with fresh squeezed lemons)
    Mistia Z.

    We have been in Boulder 12 years, tried every Chinese restaurant, and May Wah is absolutely the best! Megan, the owner, really cares for this restaurant. She keeps it so clean. The servers have been there for years and I love every one of them. The menu haas so many options for Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai. My kids regularly request the pho or the Wonton soup, and both have light flavorful broth. The kids also love chicken on a skewer, pork pan fried dumplings, and edamame (we get these three things about once a week). I personally am head over heels for the lemon chicken which is hot, crispy and made with real lemon (not the bottled lemon juice like they use at other Chinese restaurants). I also love the Kung Pao Chicken, and BBQ Pork Pan Fried Noodle. I also order from here whenever we get a babysitter, and their delivery is fast and on time.

    This restaurant is just a place I would go in a pinch. I really have nothing that spectacular to report except it was hot. I got a vegetable pho and the lady informed me I had to pay five dollars to add tofu so I ended up with an $18 bowl of soup. My friend had 1 ton soup and it was doable. But I certainly won't be craving May Wah restaurant when I come back this way.

    Grilled beef with rice paper wraps
    Lisa E.

    My husband and I have been going here for over 15 years and it is hands down the best Vietnamese food in Boulder! The food is always fresh, consistent, the staff is so friendly and the owner personally knows her customers. I order the Vietnamese grilled beef with rice paper and it's incredible (kind of like make your own spring rolls) and there is no better sesame chicken in Colorado. I have had 100's of meals here and I have nothing but positive things to say about this family run establishment! Don't miss out!

    Wonton soup
    Ezra P.

    Nice ambiance, good food and peaceful service. We always go for the Wonton soup! Keep in mind that the small bowl will feed a toddler and the large bowl only feeds 2 adults.

    In a college food court, this place is definitely a good late night college meal spot. The food is…read morepretty good, the amount of peppercorns might be a bit much though. Tried the dry spicy dan dan noodles and the mapo tofu. They were alright, just missing some flavor. It's still a convenient and reasonably priced place to grab a quick meal though!

    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.

    Decided to stop in for a late lunch on a Sunday. Never been here before so I didn't know what I was…read moreexpecting. 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.
