Kid-friendliness: SOOOO FUNNN“

“My family and I LOVE this place. I started going there a few years ago and always loved interacting with Thuy. She is always so positive and kind and really creates a place where you want to return. Recently I had Doan and she was just as great! I would really say the staff there is exceptional. Their food is always outstanding with excellent taste and is always ready right on time when they tell me I can come for pick up. It’s clean and a fun, cute atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for some delicious food and some great service.“

“I've been here a few more times recently and the entrees we've had - all the types of meat, combo platters, and pho broth - have been top notch. Everything we've had is grilled and tasty, infused with flavor. Strong beef and spice flavoring in the brisket pho. Fresh ingredients are crisp and pretty. Will definitely be back for more.“

“Combo noodle bowl was fantastic. The grilled shrimp was so good we ordered an additional side order of them.“

“Excellent food! Fresh hot big portions- so good. I’m looking forward to eating here again.“

“So glad we discovered this place! The food was delicious and the closest to the real deal food we enjoyed during our visit to Vietnam two years ago. We will definitely be going back and can’t wait to try more items from the menu. It was quite busy during lunchtime on a Thursday so it’s clear they have a steady following.“

“I have been to several Vietnamese restaurants in Colorado and this is definitely the best! The food is fantastic. The vegetables are fresh and the seasoning is perfect.The service is outstanding. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. I visit here often and will continue to do so. Try it and you won't go wrong.“

“great service and great food“

“Favorite restaurant in Denver! Laid back casual atmosphere with a nice bar area to watch sports and have tasty unique cocktails. I eat here often and I have never been disappointed! Owners and staff have always been so kind and welcoming. LOVE this place! Highly recommend Pho Crispy pork rolls Bahn Mi Bites Spicy Edamame Lychee martini“

“Pho Cafe is the real deal. The love and comfort served is remarkable every time.“

“Fantastic and innovative. Food is 5/5. Cocktails also delicious though I wish some could be a little less iced (4/5). Service is good but for such a uniquely flavored menu I think the staff should be more consistent in a detailed explanation of each dish (4/5). Location is average (3/5), ambiance is pleasant for level of cuisine (4/5). I hope they continue to rotate their menu to lean into their greatest strength which are fantastically flavored individual dishes.“

“Overall the experience was positive. However, the service was initially slow and the waitstaff were quite short in their interactions with us. We ordered the curry vermicelli bowl and the field greens fried rice. The curry was very tasty but the fried rice was bland. I think there are better Vietnamese restaurants in Denver but I would still go back.“

“This was my first time here— Visiting from Miami Florida. This is hands down the BEST Pho I’ve ever had and the BEST egg rolls. The best thing about it, is the pricing is great. My server made our time spectacular. I wish I got his name — he was so sweet and hilarious. He made us laugh our whole time there. I hope to come back when I visit again soon and hopefully he’ll be there to make our visit top notch again. THANK YOU“

“First time for me, I like the atmosphere of dining area and cleanliness throughout, with fast and courteous services but needs improvement of food in general, meaning food wasn't that tasty how it was made, I had the famous Vietnamese Phở but it doesn't have enough aroma how it should have. My partner she had the special combination noodle bowl and noodles was very dry.. too dry and wasn't that appealing at all, need much more improvement from their kitchen.“

“Some of the Pho I have ever eaten!! Very generous portions and amazing flavor. Also very quick service even right at lunch time!!! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“I brought my three kids (4, 7 and 11) with me for dinner after playing at the Claw Arcade next door. My kids love Phó as much as I do. The large fish tank was a hit. We enjoyed the beef spring rolls and steamed dumplings appetizers. The rare steak Phó medium had a great flavor. The kid Phó size was perfect. We each had boba; Taro, Pineapple, Coconut and Watermelon. We all shared a little bit of everything. Thumbs up for service and for hitting the spot.

Parking: Full free parking lot shared by many surrounding businesses.“

“The Pho seems to make everything right with the world again. It’s home in a bowl ❤️“

“Some of the best Pho I have everrrr had! The broth is amazing and filled with so much flavor and depth. (I get the Combination pho) I am a super picky person when it comes to food & this place did not disappoint. Also, the staff are so sweet and welcoming.“

“Five years ago a #44 Combination noodle bowl was $11.95. Each time I go here maybe twice a year the prices keep going up. Went yesterday and now it is 16.95 with smaller portions. Food is good but not worth the price. Saigon Bowl in Thornton is less priced and very good food and portions.“

“The hot and spicy soup with pho noodles. My favorite.“

“Absolutely amazing food! We had the steak and brisket!“

“We had the pork belly bao, octopus balls, and pho. Everything was delicious! Best Asian food in the neighborhood! 5 stars!!“

“Stopped by this gem yesterday! Had a great menu and wonderful staff! Food was great and so was my boba! Clean and cute atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We went there on Friday about 1p. There was a lot of free parking. It was clean, bright and roomy.

I ordered the seafood pho and it came with the normal complimentary veggies. It was pretty good, but it needs more real seafood (too much artificial crab & fish balls)

Service and atmosphere was great“

“I have been eating at Lili Saigon Pho and Grill since 2008, and for over 16 years, the food has never disappointed. The taste remains as delicious as ever, with authentic Vietnamese flavors that are consistent with each visit. The pho is always perfectly seasoned, and the variety on the menu ensures there’s something for everyone. Whether it’s a quick meal or a sit-down experience, the quality and taste have stayed remarkable over the years. Highly recommend it to anyone craving great Vietnamese food.“

“I love Pho Asian Fusion! I’ve been coming here since I moved to Denver in 2017. My order is tofu veggie pho with beef broth. The broth is flavorful, the portions are great, the people are nice! I also enjoy the vermicelli bowls and the bahn mi! It’s my last night in town before moving again, and I’m picking up pho asian fusion one last time. Will miss this spot! <3.“

“Good Vietnamese food. The noodle 🍜bowls are yummy and always fresh! Great 😊 place and good service.“

“Everything, it’s the best pho restaurant I know. Best food, best employees 💜“

“Edit: this has always been my favorite Pho restaurant, but now it is my ONLY Pho restaurant. I don't know what changed (if anything) but I just had one of the top ten meals if my life. I almost ordered a second bowl but physically it would have been impossible. I still want it though.

Don't pay attention to all the bad reviews below. You will notice that they are all from years ago. This place must have changed ownership since then. I started eating here a year ago and never a bad experience. Great broth, beef tendon is thick-cut, not the tiny pieces you get at most places. Very friendly service as well.“

“Came in here on a whim because I was freezing outside, and was pleasantly surprised. The grilled shrimp spring rolls were the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. Pho was also delicious. Spicy broth is full of flavor, but isn’t really spicy. Jalapeños and hot sauce can solve that quickly. I will absolutely be returning!“

“If I could give you a thousand stars I would. I love this place so much! It’s our absolute favorite, I’ve ordered pho, panang curry, pad Thai, crab cheese wontons and thai tea and I have to say every single item on this menu is 1000/10. You literally cannot go wrong with this Thai food. Best Thai food in the denver area by far!!! The owners are an amazing couple and just an all around amazing local business.“

“Delicious. This place is a hidden gem.“

“This is where the magic happens!“

“I found this restaurant on Google. I was choosing a restaurant for my New Year’s Eve Solo dinner. An excellent choice. The food was delicious. The service was calm and kind. The restaurant was quiet with piped in music That was delightful. Seating was nice with a view overlooking Ralston Park. I had wonton soup, edamame, shrimp with mixed vegetables, superbly cooked quickly and delicious. Highly recommend 👍👍“

“I saw this review and wanted to chime in here.

I love this place. Every time I get pho I get it at “Jennie Pho”.

It is always hot and tastes great in my opinion, and the portions are giant. They are trained to know vegan options and gluten free options which is very helpful.

I usually get veggie pho or steak pho. My son and his fiancé get veggie pho with tofu and a vegan veggie broth. The spring rolls are amazing. Also try their boba drinks. Plus a full bar.

They know most people who come in and they seat us at our favorite table. Please check out this family owned place.“

“I think more people need to know about this place. Went on a whim, craving some General Tsao's chicken. The food was excellent, the service top-notch. My co-diner had the Drunken Noodles, also a recommendation. Kind of quiet, the place was almost empty. Come and get something tasty!“

“Not only was my take out experience INCREDIBLE, the women helping me was so so sweet and the place looked so clean, but our food was genuinely have never been so impressed by such a hole in the wall spot. Will forever be my new favorite place in cap hill. Thanks for providing such a experience all around!“

“My favorite place to enjoy the best and delicious pho and Vietnamese food. The atmosphere is extremely relaxed and calm with the best background music to enjoy the good food. The place is cozy and very nice. The prices are affordable.
100% recommended “

“I am absolutely obsessed with the food of pho and bar. The pho is delicious and I highly recommend you try it if you are on the area. However, be prepared there are times I come here to eat and the service is extra slow and others when I am being rushed out. It's a 50/50 shot but regardless the food is a 10/10 and totally worth going.“

“Our usual restaurant was closed on Sunday so we took a chance eating here. Not sure why their rating is only a 4 but I would place a solid 5 for everything. Food was delicious, quick service, and friendly employees. You can choose your portion size so no waste or leftovers. I especially loved that no loud music was playing. We were able to enjoy a peaceful conversation and not have to yell over the music.“

“Really, really good food in a simple, pleasant setting.“

“Every time I go to denver, I HAVE to go here. They have the most amazing food! It is now a tradition with my friends to visit here together. I highly recommend the spring rolls and stir fried rice with chicken, there's enough to share or for leftovers and it is absolutely amazing! The spring rolls are the best i've ever had. The people are friendly and fast and it's in a very convenient location. 10/10“

“First the negative...we ordered online to pick up our food and were charged extra fees as if we were going thru a delivery company. I've never been charged additional fees to have an order prepared and I pick it up, and we order frequently. If we dine in and need a to go box we aren't charged extra. If you don't like extra charges don't order online. That said, THE FOOD IS FABULOUS!! The rice noodle bowls are incredible, there is certainly no skimping on the amount of meat in the combination bowl. The spring rolls are full of shrimp and pork with a yummy thick peanut sauce. We have ordered many of the appetizers and all were good. Always say I need to try something else and we will, just have a favorite and always end up getting my usual. Many other items I/we want to try. Definitely recommend the restaurant. Service and atmosphere is average, go for the food and you will give it high marks.“

“We love Taste of Asia and order takeout fairly often. Their Salt and Pepper Tofu, Curry Chicken, and Panang Curry are all great dishes. However, if you order takeout, call the restaurant directly and DO NOT USE BEYOND MENU FROM THEIR WEBSITE.
We have made this mistake a few times and every single time, our order does not go through because their fax machine is broken or they've cancelled online orders because it's too busy. BeyondMenu does not alert you when this has happened and you won't find out until you show up at the restaurant to pick up your food. If you end up cancelling your order, you will then have to call BeyondMenu to get a cancellation confirmation and a refund to your credit card. So save yourself the hassle, and call them to place an order.“
