The Ginger Pig Boulder

I’ve been wanting to try this place since I first heard about their food truck years ago, but I never got the chance! I was back in Boulder for the day so I got lunch here after finding out about the new location. The bento box was delicious and I think a solid deal for the price. The gochujang chicken was a great spice level where it gave ya a lil kick in the pants, but wasn’t overpowering other flavors. Drink was so good too. The staff is very friendly as well.

Heard about this place and been dying to try it out, me and my partner finally went the other day & it was amazing! I had the Korean Spicy chicken rice bowl and my partner had the barbecue chicken. We were originally planning a date night here but had no idea it was take out only- no seating at all available. We took the food home and it was delicious! Probably the best asian food I have ever had. Wish they had seating at the Boulder location and wasn’t in such a crazy frat CU part of town -lol. Fun to walk around and see all the kids partying, pretty lively area. Parking was a bit difficult but we just parked a couple blocks away and walked (not bad at all). Best asian food ever! Want to eventually try Denver location for a sit down experience as well.

Honestly really surprised and impressed. We got takeout for tiki drinks and most everything else was closed so decided to try this and we were so impressed. It was all delicious. Definitely coming back.

I had high hopes for this place based on what I’d read and been told by friends but I was so disappointed. I had the Karaage with tofu and was looking forward to it because I love ginger and garlic but it was so bland, there was almost zero flavor on the coating. The rice was undercooked and still raw in the middle. Everything was dry and almost tasteless. The only bonus was the service but I don’t think I’ll return.

My favorite Asian food in Boulder I go every time im in town! I get the eggplant Bahmi bowl! Aiden is always so helpful and kind! Greatful i found this gem!

Ginger Pig — One big problem…it’s within walking distance to my house 😬. I have enjoyed multiple meals at the Denver location. I’ve been a big fan of Chef Natascha Hess for a few years. The story of how Ginger Pig came about, is inspirational to me on so many levels. I squealed in delight when I found out the rumors were true, Ginger Pig was going in on the Hill!! I patiently waited for the opening! Finally today…I made Ginger Pig Boulder happen!!!! I even managed to hold it together (mostly) and not absolutely fan girl out, when I walked up and Chef took my order!!!! Meet your heroes y’all! Welcome Ginger Pig! I love the concept of the walk-up window. It adds to the vibe of traditional Asian street food. Thank you Chef, for being so freaking rad!!! Ginger Pig within walking distance is going to be dangerous…dangerously delicious!!!! Ganbei! 1000000/10 will return (the struggle of self-control will be real!)

Wanted a banh mi, but either they were out or ran out of bread, so got the bowl with the kfc chicken. It was a huge bowl packed with rice but a bit bland or the ratios were off. Way too much rice, needs some more sauce. Disappointing.

Good food. Good and friendly service. They put the street in street food. There's some stools and a ledge outside along the building to eat at. You don't go here for a dine-in experience.

I ordered takeout on the corner space at the Ginger Pig on a busy Saturday night during parents weekend at CU. I had the crispy char sui pork bowl. I loved it, but the Maggi on the rice was not my favorite as it is overpowering. The pork was plentiful and crispy. I look forward to trying more dishes.

We had heard that Ginger Pig had expanded from its days as a starter kitchen at Rosetta Hall when it opened in 2019. We had tried it here and liked the time we ate, but our favorite kitchen at Rosetta eventually left and we have not returned to Boulder's first food hall. We have a newer one we greatly enjoy. But I was intrigued when I heard that Ginger Pig had a restaurant in Denver and had opened a takeout window kitchen on the Hill, a location very near us, even walkable. So today, sunny and warm for the season, we ordered online and walked down for our food. There is no inside option, all, order and pickup, done on the sidewalk through a window of a former handcrafted jewelry shop that had closed a long time ago. There is also no real outside seating for Ginger Pig, though there is a picnic table near the sidewalk, but at lunch time, was full of CU students. We were not sure whose food they were eating but supposedly this table belongs to Ginger Pig, I learned later. we took out food home to eat. The Char Siu Pork Rice Bowl was as good as I remembered from that first time at Rosetta Hall. Crispy, sweet, spicy, juicy and tender, an ample portion for the two of us. It was supposed to come with a side of rice and a Chinese Smashed Cucumber Salad. The rice was well cooked but it took us hours to remember that the reason the meal seemed so off balance was that they had forgotten the cucumber salad though we had not noticed when we took the bag, as it was closed. We also ordered some vegetable egg rolls, and they were crispy with tender veggies. Those came with a chili sweet sauce and a mustard. I did call Ginger Pig later in the day and told them about the missing salad and they apologized and said they would remind the packers to check orders more carefully. I appreciate that but next time I will also check myself. It is too far to walk all the way back for a small item. Anyone who knows the Hill in Boulder, knows that there is hardly any parking and the best access is by foot, bike, or bus. Next time we will try some more items. The menu here is much smaller than the one in Denver but I hope they will grow here and acquire more seating for summer. I don't believe the existing space has any option for indoor seating. Have a plan for where to eat your food when you come for a meal! If they turn out to be super successful this summer, maybe they can rent a bigger space with indoor seating for next winter.

Had difficulty ordering on line, so I called and spoke with an unhelpful, disrespectful and rude individual who refused to give his name and hung up on me. Food was okay, but order was incomplete. There is no ambiance. Save your money and spend it wisely.

I'm obsessed with Ginger Pig in Denver so I was thrilled to see another location in Boulder! The food is just as great but I took off a star because this location is counter service with outdoor seating/to-go orders only. One of the best parts of the Denver location is the incredible staff and great vibes, including events, but this location is really just for the food. They offer a totally different menu, designed for to-go, so I would still encourage a visit just know what to expect!

Such a great little place to grab food really quick! I got the char siu pork and it was delicious with a really good portion. Really nice to see a place like this open on the hill, I only wish it was open later!

This is my new go to spot on the hill! The food is super yummy and hearty- I would definitely order ahead if you can because we just ended up walking around the hill while waiting for our food to be ready. Can't wait to go back!

The Ginger Pig eggplant had a subtle smoky undertone - very tasty! Their cucumber salad was unusual with a surprising tang to it - Definitely worth a take-out - there is no dining in at the Boulder location. Much better than the usual fare.

The food is outstanding. Great gluten free options. We are frequently repeat customers.

This place sucks. the Banh Mi cause I was in a rush and this was close. Came out to $18. That's crazy. I will never understand why the asian food is so expensive in Boulder. Bánh mì was bad too. Why is there nasty wet american ham? Asked for my name and didn't bother calling it when my food was done so I just waited for 10 minutes.

Overall decent but nothing special. Got the char siu with noodles and the gochujang friend chicken with rice. Wanted banh mi but they were out. Char siu was actually quite good but the noodles were cold which we didn't realize. Chicken was not good at all; it was soggy and was definitely cooked from frozen. Tasted like Trader Joe's frozen orange chicken but less good :/ Would potentially come back to try to char siu banh mi but doubt it's worth the $17. Portions for the rice and noodles were huge which was a plus. Also didn't realize there is no seating.

This place is quickly becoming our favorite weeknight takeout spot! Note- there is only outdoor picnic tables for seating and it's counter serve so plan ahead if it's cold out. But the food is fun and delicious, great quality and the portion size is generous, which makes the price worth it! The char siu is otherworldly- I recommend it in one of the bahn mi preps, as the pickled vegetables help cut how rich it is. My husband has also tried the Korean fried chicken and really enjoyed it. It's definitely more on the fusion side. But we're super happy to have a new, actually good, restaurant on the hill!

Super yummy!!!!! Most of what I ordered was a little too spicy for me, thankfully I added their lemon aioli sorta sauce, it was delicious. My husband thought it was perfect. Spice aside, the flavors are amazing. Super fresh food.
