The Kitchen [next Door] - Boulder

We came at 5. They only had 6 tables taken. They told us a 10 minute wait. But there was 30+ tables open! So we waited 15 minutes, not sure for what. Other parties came after us that got told the same thing. Wait 10 minutes. Dude for what just seat us at one of those 10 empty tables in that row. Now for the food. We ordered Korean chicken, it wasn’t gochujang, I actually wouldn’t describe it as Korean in any way. It could probably best be described as American style Chinese chicken. The sauces… super Korean…. Honey mustard and ranch. Oh yeah that’s very Korean guys. Ok then we got the fish tacos, came with fricking franks red hot and sour cream lol so basically American tacos.

Came for happy hour. Pretty cheap drinks with a good selection. Outdoor seating was perfect for the weather. The loaded guac was really good and good value. The chicken tenders were also really good, but at $11 for three of them, I won't get them again.

Food and service are always top notch. Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, awesome food.....one of the better,reasonable options on Pearl Street.

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Large selection to choose from.You just feel at home sitting here, the ambience and staff make you feel right at home.Definitely worth the stop if you find yourself on Pearl Street in Boulder. I will be frequenting Next Door often.

Had a wonderful dinner at Next Door!Under new management (and better for it! , they have revamped the menu and it is so great!We got the Crispy Cauliflower, the 14er Club, and the Yojimbo Bowl. All were great, but the Crispy Cauliflower was by far the favorite of the table.Service was incredible we were greeted outside, greeted inside, mentioned by name, and even had chats with the owner who visited our table. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, this type of service was next level. Shoutout to Olivia who was serving our table she was on top of everything, gave wonderful recommendations, and even went all out on making us feel welcome.After a previous experience years ago left us feeling lackluster, we are both excited for this revamp and are looking forward to coming back soon!
