Boulder is full of polished, trendy places to grab a quick bite- Kim's is not one of them. The ramshackle little hut looks like it would be more at home on Denver's multicultural Federal Boulevard than on waspy University Hill, but if you're in search of hot, fresh, fast and cheap curry, pho, egg rolls or bahn mi this is your place.

Don't expect gourmet cooking, rather remarkable value from a family of chefs who know how to milk the fullest flavors from simple ingredients. The Kim's special bahn mi is an extraordinarily generous portion for only $6.50 and absolutely delicious; in a fluffy baguette, fresh cilantro and crisp carrots pleasantly cut the savory fats of fried pork.
While certainly faster than any sit-down restaurant, everything is made to order here so anticipate a 10-20 minute wait. Free delivery also available.
