Hilltop Food Court - Boulder

If you 're looking for generous portions, love Thai food and don 't want to spend a fortune, then this is the place. It 's located in the middle of Student Ville and although the venue isn 't a place for romantic getaways or special occasions, the food is really good!

I have never had a bad experience here all of the food is great

We visited in late May, as things were just starting to re open post COVID. Parking was on street in the surrounding neighborhoods. Their may have been pay parking also? We just walked the 2 blocks to the restaurant. You enter a food court food hall configuration from the main street, and descend some stairs to where the restaurants are located. It appeared that they normally did some level of dine in (collectively , but that appeared closed now (I don 't know what they would have done if we just sat down and started eating...? . There were around 5 6 counter service restaurants down in this area, and 2 3 of them were closed at the time. Thai Avenue was staffed by one (brave lady who cooked, answered the phone, took walk up orders, etc. She seemed to be keeping pace with things, though the cooking process took a bit of time. I 'd guess it is quicker under 'normal ' circumstances, though. We placed our order and waited. Eventually, everything was cooked and ready. I tried to leave a generous tip based on her obvious workload. We thought we might have to walk quite a ways to a local park to eat, but the cook lady noted that they had a patio thing as you entered (I didn 't notice it at first . It was basically a separated area with 3 picnic tables. Plus around noontime, it was in the shade! we gladly just ate there. The only downside to the patio was some local hustler who chatted up some frat boys who 'd taken over the adjoining table. He spent most of his efforts on them while we ate, but eventually asked us how things were going (just as we finished . I don 't know if he frequents the area, but if you eat there be prepared to fend him off or buy his exotic beers or whatever... In all, I liked this place and would return for the food, though I 'd prefer to eat in the food hall, if possible.

So far I've gotten to try a variety of dishes including the spicy pork, Kim Chi soup, curry bowl, bibimbap, gimbap, and udon. Lots of little traditional Korean side dishes like Kim Chi, Kim Chi radish, and kongnamul (bean sprouts) as well. Lots of great flavors, I think spicy pork and bibimbap are my favorite, run by the sweetest and hardest working woman in Boulder. Always a good dining experience, highly recommend it!

Lots of great options all in one spot! I especially love Friends with Bennys and 1000 Degrees Pizza! And I can never get enough of the Thai tea from Thai Avenue!
