    Drunken Noodles with chicken ($19) 7/2025
    Mike S.

    Had a rare long wknd vacation with a friend and we painted Boulder red starting with this delightful stop in Luisville, CO, on the way from Denver International to Boulder. We split two entrees: the highly rated Drunken Noodles with chicken ($19) and the Panang Curry with beef and Jasmin rice ($19). We both like moderate heat and the "medium" setting for each was just right. The curry was terrific and properly jam-packed with ample thin-sliced beef and veggies. But the star was the Drunken noodles. I'm normally a Pad Thai fan over the Drunken (which has a different sauce and uses large/thin flat noodles) but, holy cow, simply outstanding. The operation is by a husband/wife team with the husband providing very gracious and attentive service and the wife providing the magic in the kitchen. Parking is easy/free right in front and ambience is clean and traditional "Thai" themed. At 4pm there was only one other table occupied but we couldn't help notice a steady stream of takeout orders... always a good sign!

    Vegan Pho! With veggie broth and the tofu veggie peanut dish. We always happy here ;)

    Pho and Thai ! We're pretty much regulars here. We love the pho! Many vegan options so we're happy ! Ask for The veggie broth if ordering vegan pho. We also are a big fan of the pad see ew, drunken noodles and tofu veggie with peanut sauce. Family owned business; the owners are so sweet. We appreciate them. And we love supporting! Thank you Basil Family

    Pad whatever and pho....wicked.

    Wonderful food. I've been eating here for years and have never yet had a bad or disappointing dish…read more Having lived in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and having visited Saigon, I can say that the food feels authentic to me. I've gone often enough that the servers know me and are always friendly, but the service was good even when I first went. Today for lunch I enjoyed crispy fried whole sea bass with ginger and a duck curry with bean thread noodles and wood ear mushrooms. Both were superb. I liked that we had to wait for the main dishes to arrive because the kitchen was selecting the best fish to offer (it was big, much more so than I expected) and were making it fresh to order. Portions are generous. Two main dishes are ample for two people and probably enough for three diners.

    I have been here a couple times (for dinner) and always had a good experience. The food is tasty,…read moregood portion size and fairly priced. I love seeing that it is a family place and after meeting the owner, Mai (sp?), it made me appreciate the place even more. She was so friendly and really takes pride in what she does. I will say that they need to work on service with the wait staff. After reading a lot of the reviews and having been there a couple times and having to wait for longer than normal, I will say it seems like it is due to being short staffed. I still am giving 5-stars because of the previously mentioned good things and having been a server myself, I know what it's like to be short staffed. If that gets better, this place would be amazing!

    We order beef with udon needles and it is delicious! It is served hot and always hits the spot. We…read morefrequently visit this location and forget to take pictures. I try to order sesame balls, but they were sold out and informed to call at 11:30 am. I ordered Pho Tai with extra noodles. It was a lot of noodles and not enough soup. Second time around I ordered combination with extra soup and it was perfect! We order a lot of to-go, forgot we ordered beef with vegetables and sesame balls (run-out) by lunch, but sometimes we call to have an order set aside. Today, we are eating sweet and sour chicken, for the price, portions are plenty, we usually get two meals from one entree. We have gotten to know new owners, very friendly and great service. It's been awhile since we've eaten there, but we do pickup. Often, it can be busy, but if you order before rush hours, it can be quiet & quick in-and-out. I've not experienced it loud in there, when we swe can hear each other.

    We ordered takeout. My husband got the general sales beef. I…read moreordered a red curry with chicken The general tso was really good. It came with some fresh broccoli as well as carrots and onions. Tasty. My red curry was not my favorite. It came in a huge bowl full of soup like texture. The meat was plentiful and tasted good, but the curry just didn't do it for me. I really enjoyed their egg drop soup. It had carrots and peas in it, which was different, but I liked it. We had eggrolls as well. They were good and we enjoyed the accompaniments. I made them into a lettuce wrap and it was tasty. I look forward to going back in trying this place, ordering some other items
