    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.

    Was looking for some good beef braised noodle soup, and while it’s not the best I’ve ever had, it was still great. The broth was flavorful and fatty. The noodles were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the potstickers and Bao bun a lot too. Pretty relaxed street-food atmosphere, where you order at the counter, and has outdoor seating.

    We love to go by Zoe Ma Ma for the steamy buns whenever we’re wandering around Pearl Street. The noodles are also delicious. Ordering is easy at the window they’ve set up, making it even easier to grab some quick and delicious snacks for your stroll along Pearl.

    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.

    A small noodle place with fresh food made quickly. The staff was very pleasant but forgot to give us our sauces at first, which greatly enhanced the flavor of our noodles. Our table was a bit wobbly and the music playing in the store was constantly skipping. Aside from those small complaints it was a solid noodle joint. Would recommend.

    This order-at-the-counter, quick-food establishment brings healthy, nothing fancy, Asian home cooking to Boulder. The noodle bowls are yummy and filling and Ma Ma's pot stickers are great. The space is tiny, however, which could make things pretty tight on days when weather doesn't permit use of their outdoor lunch counter area.

    We ordered the Za Jiang Mian and the chicken curry. the noodles were great and tasted good. The service was fast and we sat outside. The day was amazing and the view was even better. The chicken curry was average other than that everything else was great.

    I really wanted to like this place but it very disappointing. The gua bao was cold, the lu rou fan was wayyy too salty and the chicken soup was bland and flavorless.

  • 5/5 Nick K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Chinese food in Boulder. It’s won awards for about a decade straight and it deserves every one of them. The owner is often there, the food is always amazing. I love the simple menu because they nailed every dish they have. If you haven’t been here, you need to go!

  • 5/5 MC 5 months ago on Google
    Very good soup with a different and delicious base than what I normally find when I order this type of soup. This place is recommended 👍

  • 5/5 Jeffrey R. 8 months ago on Google
    The people were nice and the food was hot and fresh with lots of flavor. Nice chill spot to eat and watch people go by.. The special is always magical and filling .. They do charge a 15% auto service fee with every order.

  • 4/5 Xiao M. 6 months ago on Google
    The service charge is optional so I like this point. Tried the sichuan beef noodles and Ru Lo fan. The Ru lo fan is too salty. The noodles are pretty authentic. It’s overall a good Chinese restaurant. More authentic than I thought.

    We’d been wanting to try this place out for a while now, so we ordered some of their famous dumplings, chicken soup, and a couple of their main entrees for dinner delivery. We’ve eaten at tons of of authentic Chinese restaurants in Houston and the Bay Area over the past few years and have had some truly stellar meals, and Zoe Ma Ma is up there with some of the best. The prices and quantity are very reasonable, but ALL of the food we ordered was exceptionally good. The homemade dumplings are among the best I’ve ever had. We plan to try every item on their menu in the next few orders!

    I recently placed a large order for delivery from Zoe Ma Ma for a work function. When I placed the order, I realized that I forgot to order it scheduled for the next day. The staff at Zoe Ma Ma, after already making the food, worked with me to ensure that I could receive my order the next day when I actually needed it! They were incredibly responsive and helpful. The food at Zoe Ma Ma is wonderful ,and the quality/quantity that you get for the price is insane. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boulder by far!

    Not the biggest menu for vegetarians, but I was able to enjoy a tasty dry noodle dish and vegetarian fried dumplings. So many sichuan-style noodle soup dishes I could smell, made me want to just drink the leftovers from other tables. My wife got a chicken noodle soup dish and a pork bun, which was also delicious. We sat at the outdoor counter with our dog and were very happy to have found something authentic tasting and affordable in this area of Boulder.

    Excellent Chinese street food. The noodles? FABULOUS. Affordable perfect lunch option for anyone working in the downtown area. Top notch customer service as well.

  • 5/5 Sabrina Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Zhajiang noodle is the best! Delicious food at reasonable price! Nice people and nice food! Love it!

  • 5/5 Megan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Thank you Ma Ma! The most incredibly delicious, well crafted, soul soothing food cooked fresh each day by the lovely Ma Ma and her team. I had a duck bao, iced green tea, and Dan Dan Mien my latest visit, my God it was so good. I don't believe you can go wrong with anything on this whole menu.

  • 5/5 Vausha S. 2 years ago on Google
    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!

    The ‘Sichuan beef noodle’ is way too oily (had to scoop out a lot of oil), and has no numbing tingling sensation from Sichuan peppercorns. It’s more like Taiwanese Beef noodle, rather than Sichuan. Tastes a bit bland even after dumping the whole container of their ‘Sichuan’ sauce , but the beef was stewed to tenderness & pickle veggies help added some taste to it. Pricey noodle dish for small portion $17 (compulsory tip included).

    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.

    The closest to authentic you can get in Colorado! Delicious and reminds me of home. The steamed baos were really yummy, the beef noodle soup, and the za jiang mian are my recommendations!
