I’ve been meaning to try @zoe.ma.ma for a while now. The pork belly bun was amazing. I also got what I swear the sign said was braised beef noodle soup but it turns out it was actually Sichuan braised beef noodle soup they also had a sign disclosing the use of cilantro and suggested asking to not include if if you’re one of those people. ?♂️ but I forgot. No matter, I removed as much as I could and it was fine. Actually it was really good just a tiny bit spicy for me.
My husband and I stopped here on our way back to Denver from hiking Rocky Mountain National Park. We order the Bao's, I got the specialty - beef noodle, and husband got chicken curry. Our food is delicious and filling. The Bao was so, so. But My beef noodle broth, was excellent. The only downside eating here was the parking, other than that; if you are in Boulder, stop here.
Zhajiang noodle is the best! Delicious food at reasonable price! Nice people and nice food! Love it!
Excellent Chinese street food. The noodles? FABULOUS. Affordable perfect lunch option for anyone working in the downtown area. Top notch customer service as well.
First time in Boulder, there only for the afternoon, looked up affordable eats in the area and Zoe Ma Ma was listed as non-americanized Chinese street food stop. By far one of the best places I've been. -In downtown Boulder area, it's a tiny little shop, sit at one of two small tables inside or they have outdoor seating.For something quick, and delicious at a great price definitely recommend. We ordered Chicken Curry, Duck Bao and potstickers. All of it was so good-ESPECIALLY the curry! I love curry, this was amazing! The only downfall and even then not a deal breaker was I felt there could have been a little more curry sauce drizzled on the dish-future visits I may ask for an extra bit of curry on my rice bed.Also this was the first experience I had in trying duck, I was actually quite impressed! I honestly thought I wouldn't like it, but once I tried it, honestly it was pretty good. It's rich, and like butter. Duck is the dark meat of chicken if the dark meat of chicken actually tasted good.Please also don't forget to bus your own dishes! They have a little table and tray/bin set up inside the door by the drink cooler!Live in the area and need something new to try or a revisit, maybe your visiting for the day or a weekend. I would recommend putting this stop on the list of heavy consideration especially if you like street style foods and especially Chinese street food.
I used to live in Boulder and would visit Zo Ma Ma often. I brought my family once while they were visiting over the week of Thanksgiving, but when we arrived we found that the restaurant was closed and that the staff were having a special thanksgiving dinner prepared by Ma Ma herself.We waved and were about to go on our way, but then Mr. Zoe called after us and invited the six of us in to join them.It was pretty special, and I'm remembering it now as I sit here eating their roast duck wonton soup some eight years later. It's still great!
This little gem in Boulder has amazing delicious food and very friendly staff. Everyone is super nice....even when they are very busy. I just love Zoe Ma Ma's!
Everything on the menu is great. Love both of the specials. Always get pork buns. I will travel over an hour just to satisfy my cravings this place is so good!
Stopped in on slow Monday night. We really wanted to try the pork bao, but unfortunately they were out. We instead got the potstickers which we’re delicious. For our meal, we got the Sunday-Thursday special which was braised beef noodles. The homemade were scrumptious & the beef was very tender.
One of our favorites for lunch in Boulder! I love the chicken noodle soup, and my husband likes the duck wonton soup. They have very little seating usually, but due to covid the street is closed there to provide additional outdoor seating. Love it!
