Goody Monster

I am a picky Korean so my review is good as it gets. I live in Aurora and they have a lot of Korean places but most really don’t taste authentic. After moving here from Los Angeles I couldn’t find a legit place until I came to Boulder and came here. You might find yourself feeling a bit Adventurous looking at the “hole in the wall” feel. But trust me the food is great and the owner lady is super friendly. She is a one (wo)man show takes orders and cooks it all by herself and she handles it. It was my first and I tried the dduk bok ki with dumplings. Which is spicy rice cake with fish cakes. If you like spicy food try it. It’s so authentic. Their man doo(dumplings) are special as well. If you want more of a meal I would recommend the marinaded meat with rice dishes. But bomb! Great for munchies after a good hike!!

Really adorable mom and pop hole in wall Korean food stall that I rarely ever get to see Boulder! The steamed buns were amazing, as well as the bimbimbap. The ramen was good. It had a savory broth with poached eggs and other garnishments that made it feel more authentic but it was more of an upgraded fancy instant ramen flavor. The udon on the otherhand was severely undercooked (the noodles). However, the super nice auntie that works and cooks there was so nice and understanding and recommended the ramen instead for no extra charge when I brought up the issue. It has a very homey, authentic comfort food like atmosphere. I will definitely come back!

I ordered from UE. Food was delicious, but the soup was so horribly packaged it started leaking out of the bag onto my carpet. I didn't really care much about it until I tried eating the soup. There where small bits of shell and pieces of plastic in it. I don't think I'll order it again, but definitely coming back for the kimbap.

This is one of those restaurants that should never become a large kitchen. Otherwise they will lose the perfection they have established in this small hole in the wall. The food is amazing and the two running this place are wonderful. It's a shame that Google only allows five stars because that's not enough for this place.

Ordered beef curry ($8.99) and it was delicious. The Korean lady is nice and friendly. For this convenient location I can’t ask for more, just if they can make the portions a little bit bigger that would be great. Two of my male coworkers ordered beef curry a couple weeks ago and they could literally count how many pieces of beef were in their food container, there were 4 for each of them. I was lucky that I got 10 pieces today. (Yes I counted them lol)
