Zoe Ma Ma Boulder

Visited Zoe Ma Ma after an afternoon of shopping in Boulder. We were able to get a table easily around 5, but it got busy shortly after we ordered. Absolutely loved everything we ordered, but the Cold Sesame Noodle was hands down my favorite. 🥟 Steamed Shrimp Dumpling 🐽 Pork Belly Bao 🦆 Roast Duck Bao 🍜 Dan Dan Mian 🍜 Cold Sesame Noodle

Straight 4s. The food was pretty good considering it's boulder and the demographic probably couldn't tell a difference between a niu rou mien and a bun bo hue on the TV screen they play. It's a bit out of the way since we are in Denver proper Wife and I had two dishes: Duck wonton noodle soup Dan Dan mien The duck wonton was pretty good. My wife's complaint is that the wonton barely had any anything in it. So it tasted like noodles instead of a wonton. Soup is well balanced and the flavor isn't over bearing. The portion of the Dan Dan mien was a bit on a smaller side or maybe I was hungry. It was pretty good to me from my initial taste. My screw up is that I included the szechuan sauce on it which overpower most of the flavor. Don't let these gwei lo discourage you. Coming from a place

I tried Zoe Ma Ma in Boulder and ordered the chicken pho it was pretty good! The broth on its own was okay, but the toppings and seasonings you can add yourself really made it better. I also got the dumplings, but they weren’t as good as I was expecting. The service was okay, though it took quite a while for my order to be ready. Just a heads-up when you come in, you order at the counter, pick your own seat, and they’ll call your name when your food is ready. Overall, not bad for a casual spot, but a few things could’ve been better.

The baos were still cold, the meat tasted like it had already gone bad, and the duck was so tough I could barely chew it. The first bite tasted so off I couldn’t even take a second. Being Chinese I know what a good bao should taste like, and this was nowhere close. Really disappointing coming from a Michelin star restaurant.

Absolutely delicious. I've now had the braised beef soup and the chicken soup and they were both incredible. I added some of the chili sauce to the chicken soup which was lively and added a bit of kick, and the ginger pieces were amazing. I sent this would be the best thing ever with a cold because I feel like it's a panacea.
