Best pho I have ever had. Would be 5/5 stars if they had tendon. Love it though so yummy!!

I came in for a quick casual dinner with my boyfriend before a football game. I like that the restaurant is tucked away off the sidewalk and feels cozy. I ordered the crab cheese, wonton, and vegetarian tofu pho. Had the fried rice. I would give the wontons 10 out of 10, I really enjoyed everything about them. There is a generous portion of cream cheese, and the dough was good quality. I felt like the. Pho was a little bit, lacking in flavor and had almost no tofu. I still ate it, but I don't think I would order it again. I did get the medium size and I was surprised by how huge the portion was. I ended up being able to take home my leftovers for a second meal, and I appreciate the good value from that. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and chose a seat. I have no complaints about service and the food came out more quickly than I expected.

We got dumplings and spring rolls as appetizer and weren't too impressed by those. But the pho bowls were yummy. So I highly recommend that.

Gotta love a local hole-in-the-wall, no-fuss, casual dining restaurant! We were craving pho and found this gem near our hotel in downtown Denver. They have a solid selection of all kinds of pho from seafood to brisket. I had the vegetarian pho with extra veggies (bok choy, broccoli) and they gave a healthy portion of thai basil, bean sprouts, and lemon slices. One note: that veggie broth is spicy! I'm typically not a big spicy food person, so consider yourself warned! Delicious? Indeed. They offer a bunch of Vietnamese meals such as banh mi, various rice and noodles, and of course, spring rolls. The service was efficient and if you're in a tight timeline, this is a good place to get in and out with a good meal.

While staying in Denver we got to try some amazing places, and this was one of them! It's tucked away, so if you blink you'll miss it, but it's definitely a hidden gem! You are able to order dine in or take out, and there was amble amount of seating available inside too. The service was quick and everyone was very nice. Food came out correct and in a timely manner as well. The pho was very good and the portions were fair for the price. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and would recommend others to try them out!

Oh the fragrance of Pho, simmering all day, filling the air of their large dining area. Thankfully, this restaurant was a close and easy walk from our meeting site. Four of my coworkers came with me for lunch and we were seated right away. Good thing we beat the regular lunch crowd because this place filled up quick! All of our orders were served up in a timely manner. My chicken pho was tasty, maybe a little bit in the salty side for my preference but others enjoyed the broth. Herbs and veggies were fresh. What the Pho, thank you for your quick service and tasty food. We appreciate the separate checks for our group too.

If you me, you know that I love PHO. I'm very picky, so to give a PHO place, 5 stars says a lot. Service is great. The young guy ran the whole restaurant by himself. I shared one large PHO with flank steak and brisket with my guy. It came with the usual garnishes. *Thai Basil *Jalapeños *bean sprouts * limes *mint The broth is delicious. Better than what I get on the eastcoast. Very flavorful, and not loaded with tons of sodium. They didn't skimp on the meat, I love that it came with a lot of scallions and noodles Crab wontons..cuz I needed something to hold me down, and I didn't like that I had to share with my guy. And great service!!

I am obsessed with this spot. Had a really authentic feel and the food was great. There were three of us and we got quite the spread. Gyoza and chicken pho were my fav but I can be basic in these situations!! This was our fav place in this area of Denver and I think they said it was on DDD? Makes sense. They were having air conditioning issues when we were there but not a reason to stay away, assuming this was a temporary issue. Service was okay but more from a communication side of things and honestly just further added to the authenticity of the experience lol. Then on to dessert - the boba smoothies. So so so good. Im salivating thinking about them now. I r don't have a place like this in my area so take advantage while you're there!!
