Sept. 2023 Food is a bit overpriced for what all the other Vietnamese restaurants have to offer. Just take a peek at the menu for yourself. I usually get twice this much food for $15. It’s the vegetarian option Pho. They were very light on the veggies. Overall taste is great.
Edit- 2 years later on 9/26/2025, I ordered lo mein and sweet and sour chicken. Not sure who thought this place that white unseasones rice noodles is considered lo mein is good should be fired. Plain and at that, a $2 upcharge. Should of got the regular rice. $18 for what you see in the photo.

The food is good, but the ordering process is more like cafeteria style where you order at a counter and the chairs in the lobby are some of the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever sat in. The bars on the back cut into your butt cheeks, so sitting and enjoying your food has to be from the edge of your seat. There is no other searing option. The music is way too loud for a restaurant. If you wanted to listen to your own stuff, its hard to tune out the music they are playing bc its so loud. Its mid overall.

My husband and I have ordered take out from Lakeside many many times over the years. The owners are a young family and we have been happy to support. However we have seen the quality of food go down over the past year, with the cost rising beyond reasonable. Denver has not been making it easy for restaurants what with labor costs etc. That does not excuse the absolutely insulting pho we received in our order last night. I leave this review not as an unkindness but in the hopes that the owners will realize that their carelessness is costing them customers.

This place is an all-time favorite-- the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Staff are always very kind and accommodating and the service is fast! We've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for any item ordered and the food is phenomenal! A lot of effort and detail are put into each dish-- the presentation is superb. I am so glad we discovered this quaint, yet high-quality place!

Best Pho in the area as far as I’ve tried! Only flip side is that everybody thinks so and it gets super busy at times…

The pho here is flavorful and great! My only wish was more beef in my pho but other than that this was amazing spot for me to eat at and definitely would come back again.

Delicious and authentic pho! Lakeside Pho is a clean, cute spot perfect for Vietnamese food lovers. Highly recommend!
The bahn mi here is seriously good. Fresh and crunchy and the pork is perfectly roasted! The pho is also delicious and the staff are really friendly and great. If I lived in the area, I would eat here regularly. Hard to find better Vietnamese food!
