My go to Vietnamese place that makes me feel like home. From the OG ladies that bring the taste of bánh cuốn (Vietnamese clear crepes) comparable to socal for me. If you're Vietnamese they have everything from bánh cuốn, bánh ướt, bánh hỏi , gio, cha, Vietnamese yogurt, pickled veggies, bánh bao, caramel flan, moc, you name it. Even my SoCal parents loved it whenever they visit. Pricing is cheap. They give discount for cash payment. The Ladies are super nice. Just be polite. If you have a big order say more than 2 lbs of whatever crepe, call ahead. It'll take them 20 min to get it ready for you. And they like it better bc they're less stressed out. For Americans, if you're down to try I'd recommend asking for "bánh cuốn combo"(with minced pork meat), it comes w fresh Thai basil fried shallot and yes , our motherland famous dipping fish sauce. Cheers.

There's no place to sit so don't bother dining in. The food takes a while to assemble so order ahead of time. The Asian moms in the back know what they're doing so listen to me: order banh cuon ($11) over the phone, pickup 10 minutes later, ask for extra green Thai chilis (less spicy than red) and eat outside like a true Vietnamese. Best and most authentic banh cuon in Denver I've had. This is coming from someone who frequents these places in Southern California and is dying to find reputable Asian places in Denver. Must try!

Best place to get all the varieties of banh (banh tet, banh chung, banh uot, banh cuon) and cha (Vietnamese sausage) in Denver. Everything is made in house and very fresh. Owner is a sweet lady and I’m always reminded of my home and childhood when I come here.For the banh cuon and banh uot, you have to order it and she makes it in the back for you in the back, everting else you can grab from the shelves and everything is labeled with ingredients.

If you don't speak Viet, make sure you have some pictures of what you want, because there isn't a menu to look at. I was hoping it was going to be a Vietnamese store/restaurant where they have hot foods on the counters and you can just pick them up (like a Huong Lan Sandwiches), but it is a little different. They have a good amount of frozen foods like banh nam, banh lop, and nem. Lots of types of cha for your preference. Pickled items, banh bao. Pretty solid place. I went for the banh cuon, which was good, and what I needed. The rice roll thinness could have been a little bit less thicker. I'll be back, but I'm still searching for a place where I can pick up hot foods on the go.

best place to get fresh vietnamese food!! they have all kinds of giò chả here. they also offer a lot of foods that reminds me of home from savory to sweet like bánh cuốn, bánh ú, bánh chưng, bánh flan, cơm rượu, etc... you have to check this place out. AND i don't care what anyone says, their fish sauce is the best.

Incredibly impressive Vietnamese food. They do a few things and they do it REALLY well. And their biggest sellers that I would recommend are pretty "safe" food for those who are unaccustomed to southeast Asian foods in general. Huge warning. They don't really have a menu posted, and as far as I can tell, they don't really do English. They don't have their dishes on open display either. So if you just went in there cold without any Vietnamese speakers with you, then you probably wouldn't get very far. Perhaps you can point to some words from this review to show them and then show with your fingers how many orders you want. I'm not going to describe what each dish is because you can just do a quick Google search to see what it is. I will just describe what I liked and what I didn't like. Bánh cuốn Bánh ướt The sheets of rice, with noodle-like consistency, is the star of the show here. It is incredibly delicate, soft, and luxurious. The ingredients served with it are so fresh quality. The "pork loaf" here (kind of like... a not-salty version of chicken nugget meat, but made with pork and steamed) is a great example of how it should be and is made in the store. The fish sauce thing they have, however, is not my favorite. I substitute my wife's fish sauce and dump out theirs. If you don't have access to top fish sauce, then the fish sauce that they supply will suffice. Bánh ít Nếp than nhân dừa This is wrapped in banana leaves and sitting out on open display. It's not labeled, so you'll have to ask what is inside of the banana leaves. It was such a wonderful dessert. A flavor you don't come across everyday in Denver. It is a beautiful black color from the black rice, which imparts a wonderfully earthy flavor. Coconut and peanut flavors come through nicely. I am so impressed by this tiny little shop. Every foodie absolutely must come here and try out these items.

This is the place to get Gio in denver. Come grab some Gio and make yourself some easy sandwiches at home. You can get fresh baguette and pickled carrots and daikon from nearby places on federal.

Great little to go good spot! The banh cuon was really good and fresh!! They make their cha which is pretty darn good. I usually have to wait to visit family in Dallas or Houston to find a good one so I'm happy we have one in town! I thought they would have more selections when we visited but their biggest food dishes were banh cuon and banh uot. I would definitely go back if I was craving it though!

Not very delicious! Good food and good prices?

Christine N.

We go here for banh uot. can't say about other things but I only buy the banh uot here. the price is reasonable and she gives you fried onions, fish sauce along with the veggies. :)

Friendly staff, not a lot of variety.

Long ago, I could only eat this whenever I traveled to San Gabriel Valley. I'm happy to see many Asian cuisine options popping up in Colorado in the last couple of years. This is the only place that I have been to in Colorado and there's a reason I keep coming back because the banh uot is super yummy. My family likes to buy cha from here and cut it up and place it on time along with fish sauce, fried onions, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and lettuce/herbs. Get a big plate if you want to eat like this because things will fall over.

This place serves delicious banh cuon with cha lua! It wasn’t super pricey for the portion that they gave us. Definitely satisfied my cravings for banh cuon! They also have other Vietnamese pastries and snacks. I wanted to try the nem chua but it was $12 or so for six small bite size. The banh tet is a bit small but it tasted pretty good. The banh bao was also delicious steamed.The only thing that did catch me off guard was there was small bits of hair in the banh tet.
