First of all huge portions so great prices, second such amazing flavor, I got mild, bf got medium and we both thought spice was level was great. I tried his and spice was too much for me so I imagine hot is decently hot. Staff was very friendly. And dishes are gluten free which is great because I have celiac. I had the noodle bowl with beef and a Thai boba tea. Place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be backDietary restrictions: Gluten free

Decent Korean food. Sadly place is not that clean. Ordered the Dubbob bowl and it came out nice and hot (temp) good flavor but was a one note kind of dish, not as flavorful as in traditional Korean restaurants. Had good amount of chicken, veggies and rice. One big issue I experienced is the not so clean space. I had to ask the guy behind the counter to clean the table I was planning to sit at because it had rice and sticky stuff on the table. He proceeds to wipe it clean but ignores the 3 other tables around me that was not clean. They also had rice, wet spots and newspapers on top that he completely ignored. This makes for an unhygienic and unappetizing environment to dine in. There were only 2 other people at the time I was there so they weren’t busy at all. Also the area where you bus your plates and bowls was full of dirty dishes and was not cleaned up the one hour I was there. The dish I tried was good but would not come back here because they are lazy about cleaning up. I could just imagine how the kitchen is if this is how incompetent they are about cleaning up the dining room area. Do better! Having a clean restaurant should be a given!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free

Really great vegetarian options. LOVED the tofu soup, just what I needed on a cold overcast day. Will definitely be back!

Cute little Korean spot in Boulder. They have a lot of options for men's and they have a really great miso soup! I really like the bulgogi with beef, It was definitely a standout!There's lots of seating room and service is pretty quick as well.

Really disappointed with the quality of food here. Staff was friendly enough, but wow... i don't know what to say. The chicken was powdery, rice was undercooked (really odd choice to go with purple rice, if you can't prepare it properly) + the vegetables were super bland/tasteless. The curry tasted like tomato soup. (We ended up tossing everything). Please get your (one??) chef some training. Boba was too sugary/had a weird aftertaste, and the pastries tasted like they'd been left out for days. None of this tasted authentic in any way :( Huge let down for the price.

This place missed the mark.

Weird place. Food is OK... Korean-ish, I guess. Pretty pricey (def. not 1× "$"). The meat patties used for "beef" dishes = really strange. They forgot the fried egg I ordered to top my dish, had to go ask for it. There are no drinks other than water and teas (& boba milk teas). The Thai tea was lame and overpriced for a small cup.The cherry on top -- they expect 23% tip when you pay (at time of ordering)... But here's the thing... there's no service. You order and pick up everything at the counter, and then you're expected to bus your table all the way into the back hallway (after which I forgot to grab my leftovers off the table before I walked out the door). Offensive, awkward, poor taste.

The food is too bland for Asian taste buds. We ordered Dubbob and Bibimbab. They have almost the same ingredients and taste the same. They have no distinctive taste. The beef is great and I really like their purple rice.

Cup of Peace is modest and delicious, with friendly service and lots of tea.The interior is nothing fancy, but it always feels peaceful and calming, despite how many people are there.Food is top notch, with many organic ingredients and grass fed beef.Definitely a hidden gem.

Had high hopes for this place…The Thai Boba was so weak and disappointing. Waited 10 min and paid about 8$ for a small cup of slightly cold, bland tea, with too few tapioca pearls for my taste.All in all, Too expensive, not very tasty, 0 atmosphere, barely any decorations at all just felt like a room with a counter and some tables.

the egg tart at cup of peace is the best one i’ve ever had in my life. the crust is delicious and perfectly baked the filling is everything an egg custard should ever strive to be. this egg tart is the best pastry in Boulder. i will come here exclusively for my egg tart needs.re: food, the dukboki is good. their version of bibimbap is ok, it definitely seems healthy but i wasn’t a fan of the way they cooked their veggies, i felt it was a little over cooked.their chinese herbal tea is fantastic and authentic. their bean tea is good too.service is always great. atmosphere is nice, lots of seating.fyi it’s not like a traditional cantonese egg tart which is the one i’m most familiar with… but in my opinion it’s BETTER.
