🏔️ Boulder’s Hidden Gem for Homestyle Chinese Dishes 🥢
Tucked away near the 28th Street Safeway, Five Spice Asian Cuisine is a low-key spot that’s been around for years. Even though its ratings on Google and Yelp aren’t stellar, local Chinese friends highly recommend it — especially for its authentic homestyle dishes! 👌🍲 While the menu is broad, regulars (especially Chinese students and families) often stick to the classic favorites made by experienced chefs. Here’s what’s worth trying: 🌶️ Sichuan Specialties: Mouthwatering Chicken Couple’s Beef Tripe Salad Spicy Beef Tendon Mapo Tofu Boiled Fish in Chili Oil Dry Pot Intestines 🍖 Northern & Comfort Dishes: Braised Beef Brisket with PotatoHong Shao Rou (Braised Pork Belly) with Eggplant Beer Duck Eggplant Hotpot kung Pao Chicken Twice-Cooked Pork Three Cup Chicken Garlic Chicken Wings Sweet & Sour Ribs Salt & Pepper Pork Chops We tried the Three Cup Chicken, Couple’s Beef Tripe, Mushroom with Napa Cabbage, Beef Brisket Clay Pot, and Braised Pork with Tofu — all full of flavor and tasted just like home! 🏠❤️ 💡 Insider tip: They sometimes have off-menu specials — don’t hesitate to ask the server for recommendations! 📅 Closed on Mondays 📍 3325 28th St Unit 5, Boulder (next to Chase Bank) A true word-of-mouth kind of place.
