Delicious Pho, generous portion, could barely finish it. Worth the price. Don't sleep on other menu options either, despite this being strictly a pho speciality place the bao was great too.

I decided to give this place a try despite being extremely picky about my pho, mainly because of the great reviews. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning for the pho, but I will say the experience wasn't all bad.
The service was fantastic--shoutout to the lady working that day, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. The dumplings and wontons were the highlight of my visit; they were absolutely delicious and might be the only reason I'd come back.
As for the pho, I found it disappointing given the glowing reviews. The broth lacked depth and flavor, which is a dealbreaker for me. That said, the portion size was generous, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the meat was on point. For someone who isn't as picky as I am, this place is definitely worth a try.
On a more positive note, the interior is adorable. The hanging vines and cozy decor give it a calming, laid-back vibe that makes it a great spot for catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet meal.
Overall, if you're not as particular about pho as I am, this place could be a good fit. For me, I'll stick to their appetizers and dumplings if I decide to return.

One of my go-to spots! The crispy veggie rolls and potstickers are delicious!!! I highly recommend the brisket pho. The combination and marinated beef have a very fatty meat that I wouldn’t recommend. The chicken pho is also very good. Super cozy, friendly staff, and yummy fresh food.

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.
