I had the worst food poisoning from here. I got the the combination noodle bowl. As I was eating this food, I could tell it wasn't right (the texture of the meat, the taste, and color). So I threw it away without finishing it. I would have sent it back if I hadn't ordered it off of Uber Eats. Be cautious when ordering from here.

We got food from here for our Xmas dinner as is our tradition but we won't ever again. This was our first time ordering and they were fast but the food was terrible. My shrimp vermicelli had about 5 shrimp, a couple of cucumbers and shreds of carrots. No peanuts, no bean sprouts. The sauce did nothing to help the lack of taste to this. My daughter got the beef pho which should be flavorful but was somehow nothing when she ordered spicy. A few jalapenos and bean sprouts. We ordered extra tofu which were okay and the shrimp spring rolls which also were chewy and tasteless. We ended up reordering food from our favorite place today the 26th now that they are open for much better food. The guy giving us the food just walked away before we could ask if they open on Xmas and was in a bad mood as it was. He definitely showed it in the food. I honestly want a refund for this meal at this point.

I ordered off DoorDash (for pickup)

Everything was well prepared and organized. The food was HOT—which is what I look for. I loved how the pho was packaged. Everything was in a bowl with the veggies in a separate plastic part (separate from the meat) in the bowl. It was perfect for when I ate my food at the park.

The food tasted AMAZING. Honestly one of the best bowls of pho I’ve had. The broth was genuinely perfect and light. Everything tasted wonderful and I can’t wait to go back for more!

I hate being overly critical but this is possibly worse than Annie Chuns pre packaged pho you can get at king soopers. The noodles were horribly made & the two different broths we ordered were pretty much the same and bland. Service was fast so I do appreciate that & the jalapeños had excellent flavor.

No complaints on the service. But the food is terrible. At least the combination noodle bowl is. The shrimp are those small frozen ones not the usual butterfly cut you get at almost every pho I’ve been to and the meat was stinky. The shrimp was had a bad taste and smell too I think it was sitting out too long. Only pho place I’ve been to that I didn’t like. And I’ve been to a lot. Sad terrible experience way too expensive for the combination noodle bowl for the quality it has. The fish sauce almost tastes like sweet and sour sauce and the eggroll they give you look like frozen ones as well. It was the same ones you get from a dollar scoop restaurant. The are not Vietnamese egg rolls. I can’t speak for the other food but DO NOT get the combo noodle bowl.

Decent standard right near DU’a campus. Ordered the pho with brisket and it was above average in terms of flavor and richness. Portion is just ok for what you pay, but on a cold, cloudy day it hit the spot.

Honestly the food and service is solid, the decor as well. Only thing they’re really missing is some nice music and fresher limes lol also the spicy (central) pho could be spicier in my opinion, but it made me feel better when I was sick.

A++ rare beef central pho!! On point every single time!! Broth rich and delicious. Fresh and plentiful veggies in the central tofu and veggie pho. The whole family loves this place. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!!

I ordered A grilled chicken pho and beef spring rolls for delivery for the first time and the food didn’t disappoint. Great broth flavor and good portions. The peanut sauce for my spring rolls had a great taste. I got very full and not to mention their reasonable prices. I will definitely be returning in person!

I used to come here all the time. I have always loved the food and the service. I have ordered the same pho every time and sadly, I've seen how this establishment has changed over the past 2 years. They used to have more meat portions with their dishes but the flavors are still there.

I love this place so much!!

As someone who is Vietnamese and has over 40 years of experience eating pho, I know the difference between the flavors of delicious pho and subpar pho. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't worth finishing either. I'm sure the college students around here like it so that's good. Lesson learned.

The flavor of the broth was very underwhelming. It wasn’t gross. But it wasn’t aromatic or delicious. There is not actual heat to their “spicy” foods. Service is okay, not great. They also don’t offer tendon, which is the best part of pho. The food wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great. If you’re craving pho really badly, this probably is not what you’re looking for. Parking is also awful

The young employee is really disrespectful, someone who speaks loudly, cannot control her nerves, and reflects her tension on the customers.

Love to go here when I’m not in the mood to cook dinner for the crispy shrimp!!! Great quantity for a great price. You get 8 nice sized crispy coconut shrimp over a bed of cabbage for $9! Service is fast also. I’m planning to try something else on the menu my next visit since I’ve had great experience thus far.
