45 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Thornton

“The food is absolutely delicious! It was a great value for our family of four. Multiple of us got pho and I got a noodle stirfry. It came out piping hot and the portions were big enough for left overs. The staff is wonderful and attentive. I have atmosphere a lower rating because it is one very open room.“

“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.“

“Edit: this was my second visit. My first is below and isc indicative of how awesome this place is. I wasn't feeling good last time and the pho hit the spot. This time I got my usual: combination rice plate. This was one of the best, if not the winner, for best Com Dac Biet in Denver. Same server as last time, I'd guess he works six days a week. He works his ass off and communicated well with other tables and people waiting on to go orders. I don't have many opportunities to be in the area when they're open but I highly recommend giving them a shot. It's small and probably family owned, it's hard to schedule for slow and suddenly get crushed by groups and to go orders but I watched them handle it with class.

Older review: I rarely get actual pho from Vietnamese restaurants. The combination rice plate is my go to. I wasn't feeling great though so pho sounded right. The spring rolls were awesome. They are careful with the sauce which is fine, better to ask for more than to throw away huge portions. The pho was awesome, I got rare steak and added shrimp. I wasn't able to finish it which is rare but I bet I will when I get home! Friendly service also“

“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.“

“This place is so comforting and nice. The plants and fish being an atmosphere that just relaxes me and lets me eat comfortably. The food here is very tasty, in fact, too darn delicious. The waiters are so kind and caring, some are very pretty! I would give this place a 100/100. Would def recommend!!

Kid-friendliness: SOOOO FUNNN“

“Upscale Vietnamese on Colfax. Came to celebrate a birthday. Reservations recommended.
We had eggplant, the famous brown butter egg dish, grilled pork, crudo, and jelly dessert. The pork was our favorite of the bunch, as well as the crudo. The egg dish gets a lot of attention. I thought it was fine, but believe most of the flavor there is the brown butter. It did not live up to the hype for me. All the food was yummy, but there is nothing that truly blew me away.
The service on the other hand did. Our server was amazing. So attentive, yet chill, and very good at reading her customers. She was probably the best server I have ever experienced. Very nice atmosphere and professional staff. This was stand out.
Parking in the back as well as on the street. Not too bad.“

“Emily recommended this place, and I’m so glad she did! Everything felt so genuine and full of love — especially the quality she mentioned , which really stood out. Emily herself was such a vibe and made me want to try. The space looks amazing, and I’ll definitely be back. Thanks, Emily!“

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

“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“

“Some of the best 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!“

“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.“

“great service and great food“

“Over the past year, we have been frequenting this establishment and we have consistently been impressed with their service. Our preferred dishes are the rear steak pho and the egg rolls. And we always have one of their delicious bobas before we head out.“

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

“The most delicious pho broth in North Metro. In the last 6+ months, my Vietnamese friend and I have been taste testing pho in various locations and Pho Saigon is by far the best. It is very fragrant, flavorful, and served very hot. The broth is clear, as it should be, and has an exceptional balance of flavors. The staff is very attentive, and refilled drinks several times without needing to ask. Hopefully we will eventually try more menu items, but we will definitely be returning for the pho. My friend is a pho aficionado and from a family of Vietnamese chefs. They've had Pho in Vietnam, homemade pho, and have tried many restaurants in and around Denver, and cannot stop raving about this broth. Delicious, and absolutely worth a try.“

“Wife has a pad Thai, felt like there wasn’t a ton if ingredients.I had the curry, which was delicious. I just didn’t care for how the take out was, it was in a styrofoam container and I had expected for like a plastic tub with a bit more curry. Didnt go inside, service was fast.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We stumbled upon this place on the map by accident — and it turned out to be incredibly delicious! Just unbelievably good. We even grabbed an extra portion of the spring rolls to go. The shrimp pho was super tasty, and the staff was so kind and friendly. Everything was served really fast!“

“I love coming to this place for my pho and also because the staff have remembered mine and my boyfriends order every time we come in and they are very efficient and also the food always taste amazing and are very friendly 10/10 recommend !!“

“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.“

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

“Delicious. This place is a hidden gem.“

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

“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.“

“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 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 👍👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ate here for the first time. The menu offers lots of options, different varieties of Asian food. The portions are HUGE! Food was great, service was fast and our waitress was very nice. We'll be having leftovers for several days! 😋“

“This is where the magic happens!“

“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!“

“The food was good! I’m updating my review after the restaurant kindly responded and explained that Colorado has an ordinance preventing them from including utensils or napkins unless customers request them. I didn’t realize this before, so here’s a friendly reminder—if you’re ordering to-go or delivery, be sure to ask for silverware, chopsticks, or a napkin if you need them. I would definitely visit or order again.“

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

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

“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.“

“I love this restaurant the food was amazing. I ordered a Pho and it was very good the broth was rich and the noodles were so good, a little bit chewy and very tasty 😋. The service was very good, The staff here are friendly and helpful. The place brings me a cozy vibe. I had a good time here with my friends here, they said that they love this place too. I'll come back 😀“

“My wife and I split an entrée of cashew chicken. It was made fresh and delicious. The hot sour soup I had is among some of the best I’ve ever tasted and I’m an old guy who loves Chinese food. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone as the Asian food there seems Way above average.“

“just went in for the first time to get some food on christmas bc my sister and i don’t live near family and we didn’t want to cook lol we never tried this place but we will def go back again. the food is delicious and the staff is hardworking. id rate it a 10/10 stars if i could. thank you and merry christmas to all the workers!“
