Savory Vietnam Restaurant

I want to preface this review with the statement that this used to be in my opinion, the best Vietnamese restaurant in Denver hands down. I used to be a very regular customer. I hate to give this place such a low rating but my last two visit have been underwhelming. Something has changed. The food is now pretty lackluster and the prices they are charging are ridiculous. I know that everything has gone up in price but the prices have risen here much faster and higher than anywhere else I go. The food was just not very good anymore. The meats were overcooked and under seasoned. I don’t know if there was a huge change of kitchen staff or what but this is not the same place it used to be. Their once voluminous menu is slowly getting whittled away. The menu they handed me today had so many items blacked out it looked like a redacted page of the JFK assassination report. It’s sad really because I love the staff there and they shouldn’t have to serve this mediocre food. I may go back after a while and see if the situation has been remedied but it won’t be for a long time.

Food was delicious. I would have liked larger portions for the price I paid. I love the spaciousness of it and the location and parking is easy.

I saw videos on YouTube raving about this place and read great reviews. I planned on taking my family here on our brief trip to Denver. Asian moms are hard to please, especially when it comes to going out to eat at any restaurant. My Vietnamese mom approved and loved this place. We also ordered egg rolls since my brother likes to try the egg rolls at any Asian restaurant. to compare them with mom's. They brought a basket of veggies to wrap them in and nuoc mam (fish dipping sauce). They were delicious even though expensive.The bowls of soup we ordered were all huge --like train size. Bun rieu for mom, pho dac biet for bro, and bun bo Hue for me, and we were given all the fixins of meats and veggies. The plates of vegetables they provided matched our soups and were varied and generous! I had never seen this at any Viet restaurant before as they are stingy with veggies (since most people ditch/waste them). But our family loves them so we added and ate everything! The broth of the bun rieu and bun bo Hue was just right and very authentic--not super salty or bland compared to other places. The pho broth wasn't very flavorful but they added a lot of meat and noods per my brother, and the large is more like extra extra large. This place is authentic and legit. I highly recommend it and as a foodie, I'm very picky!

The quintessential Vietnamese eatery in the Denver metro area. The stock in Pho and soup based dishes is authentic and outstanding! The noodle bowls are light and loaded with fresh ingredients. Fresh spring rolls are always a great starter. Never disappointed, always a pleasure. Highly recommended!

New to Colorado and I was craving for some pho. Came here because of its ratings. Service was horrible! The lady that serviced us did not come to check on us until when we were ready to pay. Will not be coming back to this one.

Found saran wrap in my food.How is this place still in business?The bad (buckle in):Overpriced and worse, dirty.There is food splatter all over the walls,the floor is sticky,another table spilled a drink and the "server" just put a table cloth over it,they have dish carts just kind of scattered around the seating areas and tables with dishes stacked on them,most everything on the menu is over $20 except the pho, even the appetizers,they couldn't even give a proper pair of chopsticks to eat pho with and instead provided the disposable break apart kind,finally the star of the show, I actually found saran wrap in my pho. Mmm, "savory".The fine:The usual Vietnamese "server" rude attitude and bare minimum process:1. Seat2. Take order3. Give food4. Disappearthis is to be expected though, so whatever,the food was fine, despite the noodles not being fully cooked and making everything starchy. I can forgive this, after all, noodles are sooooooo difficult to cook. What, do they own a restaurant or something?Tried this place on a whim, if I haven't made it apparent enough, my family and I won't be coming back.

Our family has been going to Savory since it opened. We used to go to New Saigon but switched to Savory. It is the same recipes as New Saigon before the original owners of New Saigon sold out. Jennifer used to work at New Saigon and is now at Savory along with a number of the previous staff at NS. Fried Egg Rolls are great along with Pork Spicy and Bon 5 Mon. We also usually get a side of grilled beef. Also better pricing than New Saigon. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I love dining here. It is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Denver! My favorite dish is the fried whole sea bass with ginger fish sauce dressing! Recently, I tried their chicken wings and they were similar in taste, so highly recommend! ? I've had their hot pot (sweet and sour) and also their pork sautéed with fermented shrimp paste that's also very tasty. All the flavors here are Saigon style, so really sweet, but that's what makes it so bomb. I really don't think you can go wrong with any dish here. They do everything so well!

Their foods are pricey. They tasted average. Definitely not worth for what you are paying for. We waited awhile for 2 bowls of noodle.Their customer service is below par. The only time they were talked to us when we were ready to pay.I definitely not recommended this place to family and friends.

Wow! This place is great value for the quality of food you get here. The fish hot pot was sour and delectable, and the special com tam rice plate was huge! All the meats on the plate were delicious. This is a definite go-to if you are in the area.
