This spot surprised me alot!…read more Tucked into the Boulder Pearl Street Mall is this quaint restaurant. Walked-in and placed my order and sat down to open seating. I got the Roasted Duck Bao (home made buns and the duck was pretty meaty/great Hoisin Sauce paring) and the Za Jiang Mian (noodles were QQ/chewy, enjoyed the savory bean sauce and the ground pork). Also tried a little bit of the Lu Ro Fan (came with a good amount of the braised pork belly and bok choy), flavor was descent). If you need Chinese/Taiwanese food fix in Boulder, then this is a great go-to spot!

We had to wait about 20 mins without a reservation on a weekday - im guessing weekends are busier. The menu is influenced from countries along the silk route and has a dish from various different countries. We tried the swedish svamptoast, malaysian sambal curry, indonesian peanut noodle, choo chee salmon. Everything was flavorful, a little spicy, good quantities and the value for money was also great - each dish was $20-$23 range which is great for such an ambience. We also tried their chai - which was lightly spiced and one of the black teas (pineapple chilli) - and these were delicious too! We had kids with us and they were super friendly and nice towards them and accommodating to menu changes based on preferences. Overall - highly recommend this place!

Service throughout was cheerful, thorough and we were made to feel truly welcomed which we appreciated. The building is astoundingly beautiful from the moment you walk up to the heavenly scented rose garden out front to the handmade tile building to the statues in the fountain that lend just the right amount of peaceful tranquility....it's all quite remarkable to the senses. Then comes the feast with international influences from Persia to Africa to Asia, etc, it brings a masterful collection of flavors. We ordered the bao, hummus plate and Mediterranean salad to start and all were excellent. The bao was my favorite, pillowy soft with succulent pork. For mains we ordered: the lamb shish kabebs which were as expected and served with a delicious rice and tzatziki sauce, next was the spicy Indonesian peanut noodles with chicken and this was amazingly flavorful and perfectly prepared, but our last one was my favorite and that was the African Shoko which was beef that was so tender and delicious and paired with plantains and peppers which gave it this mild sweet heat that was an absolute delight! We most certainly couldn't end the night without dessert so we opted for the chocolate espresso mousse and the Austrian apple streusel which reminded me of my Grandma in the most perfect and beautiful way, it was delicious and if I hadn't been so full I would have eaten every bite! What a tremendous experience! I cannot wait to come back and try their tea service! This place is truly special!

Someone had bought up all her egg tarts, but the taro bun, pineapple bun and scallion pork floss buns were well-made. She cares a lot about using high quality and all-natural ingredients. No food coloring or syrups. She makes her own taro paste! We came around lunchtime to try some of the savory dishes. Her crispy scallion pancake (wrapped around beef and cucumber) was stellar-- a crisp exterior but chewy interior and the filling was fresh and flavorful. We of course had to get the braised pork belly rice bowl-- a Taiwanese classic. This is a super filling meal that comes with a soy egg, pickled daikon and pickled greens. The pickles balanced the rich fattiness of the pork. This was a gem and we certainly will be back.

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.
