    Beef momos
    Vicki W.

    Fantastic food and very reasonable prices! We stopped by for lunch and ordered the lunch special which is three dishes + rice for $12. We picked the chick pea curry, mixed vegetables and chicken curry; all of our selections were solid and large portions. However the real standout was the beef momos that we ordered! They had a perfect, tender exterior with juicy, tender, and flavorful meat inside. We also got a free chai, which was solid as well. A few things to be aware of before you visit - the momos are made to order, so they take around 20 minutes to prepare. The space is very minimalist and small, with only a few tables. A small back room is set up with awkwardly close tables and a bathroom door, not an ideal place to enjoy a meal. Carry out might be a better option during peak hours. Recommend a visit and make sure to order the momos!

    White Rice and steamed bun
    Karolina K.

    We stopped there why passing through Boulder as they were one of the few inexpensive places that had vegan options and I never had Tibetan food so was looking forward for my dinner. We arrived and it was already dark outside but we still decided to eat on the patio as the chairs inside were put up as they would be closing and it was very cold with the AC. I wish they had more lights outside as we had to eat almost in full dark... Staff was very friendly and they recommended few dishes. I had the Tsel Shamu with sautéed mushroom and zucchini with rice and had to try their steamed dumpling (tingmo). The curry was ok, it tasted very similar to a Polish dish called leczo so I was a little disappointed as I really was expecting some new, exciting flavors. The stemmed bun was very good. My husband got the beef curry - Shaptak with rice and he said it also had a similar flavor to Polish dish but at least it was spicy. Beef was a little tough. We also split vegetable Momos and they were good but far too much garlic was inside. The only flavor you could taste was garlic. I love garlic but this was a little too much. The dipping sauce was good. I read other reviews that the noodles are very good so maybe we just ordered wrong items... The portion size was very big, we ate half and took the rest for next day.

    Jhasa Sha Mo-Mo - Chicken Momo

    I just moved to Boulder and this restaurant is so far my favorite one. Food is authentic and extraordinary delicious. The ambience of this place always feels welcoming, and staff is nice. This place is really worth it, prices are perfect and you get amazing food. I'm happy they have this place in Boulder.

    Everyone who works here is so kind, the portions are very generous and the food is delicious. The picture I've added here is after I'd been eating (slowly) for 10 minutes! The chai is delicious and complimentary with the lunch special. Love love love Tibet kitchen

    Momo sampler

    Come for the momos and chai! This was one of my fave spots to go to while I was a grad student in Boulder. Their momos are made to order so call ahead or expect to wait a bit longer for them--it's worth it! I usually get the momo sampler so I can have some of each flavor (chicken, beef, vegetarian). I think the beef is my favorite, but they're all tasty, super filling, and great to share! I love the spicy chutney that it comes with. I've gotten the lunch special once or twice (you can pick from a variety of ready-made dishes) and it's a great deal. The momos alone are worth the trip though, and the complimentary chai is delicious. I loved coming here for some post-hike momos and chai on their outdoor patio--a moment of tranquility before returning to the hustle and bustle of student life. I miss this place!

    Jhasa Shamdeh Chicken Curry
    Melanie C.

    First time trying Tibetan food and loved it! This little hole in a wall serves up killer dinner deals ($9) of delicious dishes like chicken curry and thentuk. Their momos are amazing and would be happy to come just for these! They also serve you complimentary hot chai while you are waiting. Service is self service/counter, takes about 15-20 min for food to come out and there is a couple indoor tables and a patio for dining. Would recommend for a delicious and cheap lunch/dinner!

    This is the dinner special with Chicken Curry (main) and Garbanzo Beans (side)
    Victoria K.

    Tibet Kitchen is definitely a hole in the wall type of place. It's right off of Arapahoe and Folsom, and its really easy to miss! Be careful :) I have been here multiple times now and I'm still sitting at this same rating, because every single time I am here, it's the same. The Food: Dinner Special: it is an extremely great price for the amount of food you get (picture below) I got the chicken curry and garbanzo beans on side. The chicken curry is delicious, but could've used more spice. It tastes a bit watered down (this happened twice out of the 7 times I have ordered this) The garbanzo beans are DELICIOUS! Who knew this side would be so flavorful! It was a great addition. The rice is a bit dry, so definitely need to eat with something, not by itself. The best thing here are MOMO's! We have tried all three momos, and the best yet is the beef momo's. I suggest getting the momo sampler first to try all of them. Veggies are great momo's too! and the chicken can be a bit mushy. *They have a notice on the menu that the momo's are made to order and take 15 mins (this is a LIE). It takes about 20-30 mins depending on how busy, I once waited 37 mins (I counted because I was starving) The momo order comes in 8 and it may not seem like a meal or a lot of food, but it IS! So it is very filling and delicious. I have also tried the curry potato side and it was bland, not the greatest. It literally taste like watered spiced potatoes. Overall my rating for this place is lower because of the long wait time, and it is truly never busy. They take a while, but the food is cheap and delicious. Definitely a nice little place for to-go, not much of a dining room.

I ordered the Banana Boulevardier and it was delicious. After that I ordered a daiquiri (one of my go-to drinks) and it was probably one of the best ones I've ever had. The bartenders were all super nice and we enjoyed chatting with them. We weren't there to eat, but the food looked good. I would love to come back and order off of the Happy Hour menu. I couldn't find the happy hour times anywhere online, but they are 3-6 and 8-close every day.

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.

The man who greeted us was very nice and accommodating. More people arrived as we sat, including a woman who, it turned out, was also going to the Festival. I was choosing between Shrimp with Vegetables on the Chinese menu and a Vietnamese Noodle Bowl with Chicken and Eggroll. I went with the Vietnamese Bowl. My friend got the same only with shrimp. Both were delicious! There is a mild spice on the grilled chicken and it seemed like it might be the same one on the shrimp. I tasted hers. Delectable. And both were tender. The eggroll was nice and crunchy. The noodles were good. I would have liked more vegetables, and we both asked for more sauce. Not sure why they don't give more to start with. At other restaurants, I've always been served with enough sauce from the beginning. But he brought more of it promptly when we asked. I could only eat about half of mine. Because it was room temperature to begin with, hopefully the leftovers are OK having sat in my car for hours! The decor was nice. Tile on both the floor and walls. My friend really liked the walls and told the gentleman that he'd made a good choice! It all looks clean and cared for. I will go back. Hope you go, too! There are several restaurants in the shopping center there at Baseline and Broadway. May Wah is in the southern section, facing north.

I would have ordered it anyway but when the server said "the mangos are so perfect today" I was fully locked in. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint. The mango was indeed fresh and perfect.

This fact did cause me to be disappointed when one of the items arrived at the table. My husband loved it though, as he is a big fan of cream cheese which I am not. I only eat items like NY cheesecake and on bagels with lox. What I wanted to try was the roasted duck dumpling but got the fried wonton with cream cheese and duck. It had a good sauce as well as a slice of mango and a pinch of pea shoots on the top. I do love baby pea shoots and though not what I envisioned, I did eat my portion. The shrimp spring rolls were some of the best I have had in a while. I had a hot oolong tea and my husband had a Thai tea. We both liked our drinks which were exactly as we expected. We also had a "small" plate of bbq chicken which was hardly a small thing. A large tasty section of chicken on a bed of lettuce with a side of shredded carrot and cabbage with a very nice sauce. It was perfect for my husband but as I am not allowed chicken skin, it was harder to eat but tasty. Such a bigger serving than we expected, we brought enough home for lunch tomorrow. The staff were friendly, helpful yet not intrusive. The setting was perfect for me and for all as the variety of styles allow for accommodating any needs. Pricing was average for Boulder and more than worth it. We will be back and try more items. Often have lunch with a friend who drives and it will be perfect for that this summer.
