    pho and braised pork belly
    Josh T.

    I was skeptical at first. I'm from a city near LA surrounded by authentic Vietnamese food. But this restaurant's creative take on banh mi was SO GOOD. The bread is perfect, the meat is packed with flavor, and the portion is gigantic. One of the best banh mis I've ever had. Plus, the owner here is super cool. He's genuine, chill, and is treating every single customer here with love. I decided to do some remote work here, and for the past hour he has just been keeping up a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Whenever I come visit Denver, I'll definitely be making some time to visit this fine establishment.

    Delicious bahn mi!!!! These sandwiches are loaded with veggies, sauce and meat. This little shop is so cute with plants and kind staff. We tried the pork belly and katsu chicken sandwiches. We loved them! Definitely will be back!!

    Pho beef bahn mi

    I ended up at Golden Banh Mi almost by accident. I was killing time before a trip into H Mart and wanted something quick to eat. Normally I default to Korean stew around there, but that whole area in Aurora is packed with options, so I figured I would try something different. Golden Banh Mi kept popping up, so I went for it. First thing, this is not a traditional banh mi in the strict sense. The bread stood out right away. Crispy outside, soft inside, but not a classic baguette. That said, I am not knocking it at all. It worked really well for the sandwich and honestly tasted great. I ordered the pho beef banh mi, which I had never seen before. The beef was easily the highlight. Really good quality, well cooked, and then they take it a step further by giving you a pho dipping sauce on the side. That combo alone made it feel different than anything I have had before. It also had that sweet sauce and extras that you would potentially expect from a pho - just laid out in a sandwich. Service was also a big win. The guy taking my order was genuinely friendly, helpful, and just easy to talk to. It felt like he actually cared that you enjoyed what you ordered, which always matters more than people admit. Only real downside is that my family was not with me, because now I need an excuse to come back to the area and introduce it to them. Overall, this was a top tier sandwich experience and absolutely worth stopping for if you are anywhere near H Mart.

    Nestled in south west Denver lies an unassuming, hole-in-the-wall joint slanging some tasty Vietnamese cuisine. With a welcoming vibe, lo-fi music, and anime playing on the TV this hot lunch spot earned its position on Yelp's 2026 Top 100. The Steak & Kimcheese was absolutely dynamite, emphasis on the dynamite. The hidden jalapeños do tend to dominate the taste of the entire sandwich, so if you don't like spice maybe order the jalapeños on the side. The steak & kimcheese, the belle of this ball, made my mouth water upon my first chomp. The steak was well seasoned, tender, and hearty. Even half of a sandwich filled me up because they packed it. I'll definitely be back to try their other favorites (the breakfast banh mi looked incredibly tempting), sip on a Cherry Coke, and take in the ambiance.

    So excited to try this sport on Yelp's 2026 Top 100 and I can see why they're on the list! I was torn between the pho-rench and the steak & kimcheese and ended up going with the steak & kimcheese banh mi, as it was highly recommended and featured in lots of articles. The sandwich is the perfect size for one. The French bread is lightly toasted with a nice crunch. The baguettes are all made in house and freshly baked! This banh mi is packed with flavor. Think of it as a Korean Vietnamese Philly cheese steak. If you like spice, this one definitely has a kick between the kimchee and the jalapenos. They also threw in a free bag of chips which was nice compliment. I also got the Vietnamese coffee which has a strong flavor and is not overly sweet. Friendly & helpful staff, chill vibes makes for a quick and easy lunch. Can't wait to try the other banh mis!

    Clean, basic, (in a good way), (with some great plants and fun art prints) little local fusion sandwich shops. The friendliest engaging staff (owner) who provides the best service. We tried the Pho Ranch Dip, which had a sign saying they were out, but the owner made me one and the roasted pork belly. Mind blowing delicious! Even the leftovers are as amazing as they were hot and fresh. The service, outstanding; we received complimentary chips while we waited for our food and a Thai Tea. The Thai tea is a refreshing palette cleanser that was so good. This was seriously one of the top sandwiches I have ever had. Excited to add this place on our rotation.

    I have heard amazing things about this banh Mi spot and decided to order the braised pork belly and the roasted pork belly. It was packed with pickled veggies and their mayo. Plenty of meat and their bread had just the right crunch without giving bread cuts in your mouth. Both the meats had great flavor. Although they were the same cut, I could taste the difference in cooking methods. The meat was tender and cooked just right. The boys made the sandwich quickly and they took my order promptly. There are some tables inside for you to enjoy the sandwich immediately. It gives bánh mì cafe vibes. Very inviting and cozy.

    I came in to grab a bahn mi sandwich! I have been craving this for days! Service was friendly and fast. Location is easy to get in and out of. Lots of seating and clean facilities! I ordered the pork belly bahn mi minus the cilantro. The sandwich was outstanding! Fresh and great blend of flavors! I'll be back!

    Braised Pork Belly
    Jenessa H.

    The service was really great! He was very nice and even offered us free chips. I was a little disappointed in the menu because I just wanted a classic banh mi and the only classic ones are vegetarian (lemongrass tofu and maybe breakfast but I didn't get a good look at that one). The banh mi's are massive which is a plus. I got the braised pork and it was hefty. The flavor of the pork belly was delish. I liked the pate and wished I had more (but I love pate so it's a personal preference) and there was a bit too much mayo. I was missing the jalapeños which would've been a nice touch. The iced coffee is a little off, not sure what about it is off specifically but it doesn't taste like viet coffee, as someone who is viet and started drinking this coffee before any other coffee as a teenager. Inside had several tables and everything was nice and clean.

    So delicious and FILLED to the brim with meat and toppings. I love Bahn Mi and I love French Dips and it's the perfect sandwich when combined. I also was given a free bag of chips while I waited for my food and thought that was very kind.

    Beef and pho dipping broth
    Le H.

    Amazing banh mi and better people. They treat you as family whether it's your first time there or a repeat customer. The banh mi isn't overly hard on the outside yet still crispy/crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Talk about packing flavor, sauce and vegetables, you're getting it all. Stop by and you won't be disappointed.

    I can't stop! Seriously such a fantastic place ALL around. These sandwiches are nothing short of amazing, like if my last meal was gonna be a sammich this would be a top contender for sure. Also don't sleep on the desserts here! This time around was a strawberry crepe cake and it was delicious. Super thin sponge cake as the base and then layers of delicate crepe and strawberry cream with fresh strawberries and a vanilla drizzle. Perfectly sweet and light, a total winner for me. These guys know how to make every visit shine and back up the top 100 achievement!

    This place rocks! They have vegetarian and pescatarian options. Super friendly staff and delicious food. They have seating inside, very casual spot. Will definitely be back!

Nourishing food, fresh, prepared with care--when we come back to visit the grandchildren, we will be sure to bring everyone out to eat here again. It is very loud in there, but with joyous conversation from everyone, saying a lot about enjoyment of the food, for sure; we had a corner table and with hearing aids we still were able to participate in our family's conversation amidst the cacophony.

When you think of Vietnamese, Americans tend to think of Pho, noodle bowls and lemongrass chicken but we need more places the focuses in home cooking and dishes that locals eat.

The use of shrimp paste and other traditional ingredients really elevate flavors that many Americans are not used to, but you have to try it to understand. Their claypots are a must order and with a side of rice....you'll be eating for days! The star of the night was the pork and calamari claypot which is cooked in shrimp paste and your favorite Vietnamese spices and herbs. You'll finish bowls of rice with this dish, it packs so much flavor that you'll be wanting more. It's a great mix of salty, sweet and umami from the fermented shrimp paste. The Vietnamese curry was thick and packed with succulent shrimp. The veggies at a very nice brightness to balance out the coconut milk. The last dish we had was a shrimp lemon grass in the clay pot and that was also a hit with everyone! Service is amazing and they definitely know how to recommend dishes to match your taste buds. They went out of the way to help everyone and it shows. If you need a new spot, check Dan Da!

Another staff member eventually stepped in to help me. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not one that would bring me back.
