We checked out Golden Saigon on a whim and it blew us away! Everything was DELICIOUS, the service was great, and they even had gluten free options. Our portions were sizable and enough for another meal. We cannot wait to go back! read more

My family had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We felt right at home dining here. Thank you Toan and all the staff for impeccable service. Mama Le... everything was so delicious. Btw... my husband loved the BeerLaos. My son graduated and we were gifted with appetizers on the house. We will definitely visit here, when we come back to CO. read more

The food was pretty good at Golden Saigon. We ordered the spicy beef brisket noodle soup which was similar to Bun Bo Hue (they no longer have bun Bo hue on the menu), chicken salad or Goi Ga, and the Lamb Curry or Tender Lamb and fresh vegetables coconut curry. We were very lucky and happy when we got the house made ginger ale and dumplings as a special treat! Our favorite dish was the spicy beef brisket noodle soup, it had the best flavors and was perfect for a rainy night. The Goi Ga had great flavors but the chicken was too dry for my taste, I would love to try it with seafood. The dumplings were good but I would have preferred it not served over curry. The lamb curry was also good and the meat was very tender. We loved the house made ginger-ale, it was very refreshing without being overly sweet. The service was fast and everything went smoothly. The ambiance overall was calming and felt fairly intimate and perfect for us. Overall a great place for dinner and we can't wait to go back for more ginger ale and to try the pho! read more

This restaurant is really good. I have my usuals- Im vegetarian so I order their tofu vermicelli dish and their fried tofu egg rolls regularly. You get a nice size salad with the egg rolls, big enough to eat as its own dish. They do pretty well with flavors and I've been a repeat customer for a few years now. read more

I ordered 2 vermicelli noodles. 1 combo and 1 grilled pork. The chicken was so dry the pork looks like it was left over from the day before. The rice paper egg roll meat looks like meatball meat stuffing. I went to this place because of the good rating and end up not be able to enjoy the food we ordered. On the other hand the sweet and sour sauce smells like disinfectant cleaner. The sauce taste horrible. read more

Food, service, and atmosphere was incredible. Truly some of the best food I've had since moving to Denver.

This is such a fantastic little gem! Everything is homemade, you can tell it's made from scratch and is bursting with flavor and authenticity. We had the house curry special and the grilled chicken rice bowl and both were just superb. We were also surprised with on-the-house steamed dumplings which were some of the best dumplings we've ever eaten--fresh and delicious and so obviously not from a freezer bag! The service was also really wonderful, there was nothing I would change about our visit! Highly recommend a stop-in here! read more

Came here for lunch after hearing so many great things and I was not disappointed. Possibly the best Vietnamese place in denver. We had the spring rolls, blacked fish clay pot, and lamb curry. The owners are so nice- they kept checking in on us and even gave us free steamed dumplings and house ginger ale. Everything is incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. Can't wait to come back and it was well worth the drive read more

Objectively, the best Vietnamese restaurant that I have ever been to in the United States. The Beef Pho: the pho broth has depth in flavor, doesn't get sour as you keep drinking it like most I've tried. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not too soft or hard. The beef came perfectly rare and cooked slowly in the hot broth, showing a slight bright red contrast to the deep, dark richness of the clean hot pho broth that was perfectly seasoned, quite picturesque with the contrast in color and flavor. The dish in its entirety was made with love. Noble in this day and age. As for the appetizers, The deep fried pork egg rolls were nothing like I've ever had. The outer wrap is made out of taro if I remember correctly and the appetizer dish came with a fresh side of lettuce, pickled carrots, radish, and bean sprouts. Wrapping the eggrolls with the lettuce and placing inside pickled radishes made the perfect balance of fried, savory, fresh, and tangy, combined with the assortment of sauces forced the myriad of flavors to fight each for attention in my taste buds. The sauces Provided was a side of their curry sauce, fish sauce, and another sauce I can't remember the name of. Tuan the owner, and the other waiter whom I did not get his name, and Isaac- which I believe was his name if my memory does serve me correctly, are generous, caring, and kind. To say the least, it is inspiring. The establishment is also beautifully furnished with walls that acknowledge the history and tradition of Aurora, and Denver, Colorado. I would definitely make this my go to place for Vietnamese food or just a pleasant lunch or evening place to go dine, where you know you will be taken care of and that the kitchen cares. Truly hard to find in this day and age where quality of services and goods go down and family owned businesses like this one are harder and harder to find. read more

This place made me miss my Vietnamese Grandma. Real and authentic Vietnamese flavors and atmosphere. Service was superb.

// Summary Undoubtedly one of the best Vietnamese meal experiences you will ever come across in the Denver area (and dare I say, maybe ever? their quality of service is second to none for what you'd expect!) // Meal Experience I ordered a large combination pho, and my friend ordered a smaller one, while we got some spring rolls to share. Everything tasted great and the large is actually quite large. I eat a lot - but it made me question whether or not I should have gotten a large. // Service This might have been one of the best service experiences where you don't feel like you have to get all dressed up. They brought a couple of things on the house: some dumplings and this amazing ginger drink that was phenomenal. They were pretty busy, but we were amazed at their generosity and hospitality. // Ambiance It's maybe a step up from your typical pho or Vietnamese restaurant with respect to its ambiance? Don't know how else I would describe it. // Convenience It seems like you can call for reservations, but I'm somewhat lazy to pick up the phone and call for reservations and prefer online systems. Anyways, if you don't put in a reservation, you put your name on the waitlist if everything is booked, and you hope that the wait isn't too long. Even if it is, I think it's still worth it. read more

This place is a hidden gem! You can truly tell they really want their customers to have a great dining experience and want them to come and continue coming back. When I placed the order over the phone, their recommendations were very genuine and were pleasant to talk to. Food was delicous, we order their chicken curry, sesame chicken, chicken wings, and wonton on the house. Even the chicken wings were good size and not small pieces. Great food and great people! Atmosphere- very cozy, dining place for family or friends to catch up Price- very reasonable and the quantity of food is very generous! Customer service- they gave us free wonton on the house for our first time. Was very surprised since portion size was pretty big too. Very nice and generous of them! They didn't delay in bringing the food as well. Parking- easy to find spots since it's in a small shopping center. Would highly recommend this place!!! read more

Oh boy! I hesitated writing this review because I really wanted to love this place because of the majority ratings. My experience was not pleasant but I made the most of it in a respectful manner. I decided to try this place due to the high ratings and we were nearby since my daughters couldn't make up their minds on a place to eat for dinner. We arrived on late on a Thursday evening, and the restaurant seating was pretty full. There was only 1 waiter and 1 busboy. The waiter asked us to wait while they cleared the table he pointed at which looked clear so I thought that was odd. Then next 30 seconds, the busboy seated us at a table next to that one. The waiter took our orders after about 10 mins. You can tell both of them were running around like crazy. The busboy quickly rushed our drinks to us and OMG what I saw was a nasty sight in my drink! I don't want to say it out of respect to the restaurant. I told the waiter when he came by, that I no longer wanted the drink or anymore of it. He swift it away to the kitchen and brought me another one. Then about 10 mins later, the waiter brought us two other appetizer dishes on the house. It was a thoughtful gesture. Our entrees finally arrived and I pretty much lost my appetite. We had ordered the Vietnamese egg rolls which I didn't enjoy. It was all meat and had a weird smell. One of my daughter loves egg rolls and she wouldn't eat anymore after one bite. I've had a lot better egg rolls. We also ordered pho, which was mediocre. The beef and rice dish, which was a good typical Vietnamese dish. And the bun bo hue noodle soup was heavy with a thick tomato paste (I think) that I've never had at other Vietnamese restaurants. Perhaps it was just a busy awful night for them. read more

Went and had dinner here tonight. What an amazing place. What makes it so amazing is the welcoming servers. Friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. I'll be back. read more

I came here with my husband David and the server with glasses was very slow and got our order wrong. He didn't recognize that he made the mistake and blamed me at the end for him not bringing my drink out for almost 45 minutes after I was really nice and respectful to him. The food here was amazing but the service was very slow for it not being busy. I typically don't give anyone a hard time for service if it was crazy busy but there was only two tables. I noticed another table waited so long they actually got up and left and the server just laughed. The energy was kind of stressful in here for being as quiet as it was. read more

Do you ever go to a new place and think "How have I been missing out on this?!" That was me last night. I have frequented their Bahn Min Space next door but never made it in for a full dinner and what a mistake by me. When we walked in nearly every table was full but we were still greeted with a smile and sat immediately. The staff work like a family where it seems like everyone is helping one another to make the best experience possible. We had the curry and a noodle dish and they were both great (but the curry is next level). They also brought us some dumplings on the house that I would order again in a heartbeat. This place will absolutely take a new place in our regular spots and I will regret all the years we have lived nearby and missed out. read more

I want to give 4 stars but unfortunately I drove 4 miles to get take out here and they said 25-30 min which I timed and took about 45 min. The guy was nice he gave me a fresh ginger ale and said he was giving me Crab Wontons on house. When I got home they left out my Vietnamese egg rolls so they crab wontons just replaced the egg rolls. The food I got was great- sesame chicken, combo fried rice, and dumplings or pot stickers not sure what you call them. The sauces are great - they give like a curry with the dumplings as well as a typical brown tangy sauce. Everything was delicious and I wish I got my egg rolls because I love Vietnamese and usually drive across town for it. Will try this place again for sure. read more

First time visiting this restaurant and i was shockingly pleased. It was in a little strip mall that i have driven by plenty of times but never saw it. We were promptly greeted and seated upon arrival. Waitstaff is very attentive throughout the whole dining experience. Appetizers were delicious - cheese wontons and dumplings. (Dumplings were a surprise complimentary from the chef) we also ordered their homemade ginger ale. Very delicious. One was sufficient for the meal along with water. Hot and sour soup was amazingly good. Ordered the sesame chicken and it came to the table steaming hot. A delight to see!! The flavor of the sesame chicken had a hint of fishy flavor to it that i have not experienced before when having this dish elsewhere. Either it was fried in same grease as fish was or the sauce had more fish sauce in it then others. I am not a fish person so the flavor was overwhelming at times but for a brief moment so it was bareable. I would definitely go here again and try other dishes in attempt to not get the fishy taste. This is only reason for 4 stars not 5. read more

AHHH-MAZING!!! I have traveled to Vietnam and have eaten at least 5 Vietnamese restaurants at Denver...and this place is legit! The service is above and beyond, which in Denver is unfortunately something hard to find. They give you free house-made ginger ale while dining in. The appetizers, I'm almost embarrassed to let you know how much we ate...(listed in order of favs) - Steamed Dumpling with a little toasted sesame oil - Crab Chesese Wontons with house curry dipping sauce - Beef Spring Rolls - Vietnamese Egg Rolls Husband had the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and said it was the best soup/pho he has ever had!! And they have built the most adorable patio, I hope they can keep this for the summer...its so cute!!! Love all the plants they have inside, just such a great dining experience! read more

Golden Saigon is quickly becoming one of my favorite places. We went here last week and they had phenomenal service. Our server was very personable and friendly. We ordered the mussels which were huge! They tasted very fresh and came with a lemon, pepper, and fish sauce butter sauce with fried crispy onions and green onion. We also had the spring rolls which were also very large. We ordered the tofu curry, which is one of their specialties. Their Jasmine tea is good also. We received some treats in the form of their chicken dumplings and cheese wontons too! The wontons were huge and full of cream cheese and the chicken dumplings tastes fresh with a good doping sauce. They are closed Monday and Tuesday which is probably a good think because I would be there wayyyyy too often if they were open. Also I ordered Bahn Mi at their sister restaurant Golden Bahn Mi next door and they brought it over to me after they were done! read more

Service was unbelievably terrible. First we were told that the wait would be 35 minutes, an hour later we were finally seated. These people are using ancient tech for payment processing and a literal notebook to check people in. The whole place gives the vibe that they're so cheap that they can't invest in tech or even better furniture than what they opened with in 1999. Customer experience was horrendous. They brought us water that had 2 dead gnats in it when we got to our table. Then they got my appetizer order wrong and brought me something I told them I didn't want. Finally when I got my entree order it was also wrong. Food was decent but the whole experience was awful. I will never... I repeat NEVER come back to this place. If you want great Vietnamese food and a good customer experience go to Saigon Bistro. read more

Best restaurant I've been to in the Denver area since moving here 8 months ago. Food and service are both amazing. And it's a beautiful place with lots of plants and art.

We had a great lunch here today 4-19-21 and feel very good about recommending this restaurant which looks like a bit of a hole in the wall from the outside but don't let that fool you. Food and service were excellent. Appetizers: 1. Crabmeat soup. 2. Grilled shrimp, wrapped in sliced beef. 3. Fried pot stickers with mild curry sauce. Entrees: 1. Cashew Chicken with steamed rice. 2. Sea bass with vegetables and jasmine rice Desert: None; we were too full and ended up taking the majority of our entrees home. The portions are very healthy yet the prices are extremely reasonable. Ambiance: Not bad. We didn't care for the pop music but it was soft enough not to bother us. It would be very nice to listen to some of the countries traditional music but I realize that many probably wouldn't care for that. Verdict: We'll be back very soon and many times read more

I have had this place on my radar for a minute so when we were trying to decide where to go for anniversary dinner number one (our anni was on a Thursday and we had downtown plans on Friday!) and we thought let's finally check Golden Saigon out! I had seen the plethora of Great reviews and now that I have dined here I can see why!!! The service Is impeccable, it honestly could not get any better it is THAT good. It was our first time in and they made us feel like regulars! The food is great, I guess the one downfall was that it was so good and there was so much of it it made the usual anniversary late night shenanigans basically non existent haha. But worth it! Those spring rolls were heavenly! So fresh and the perfect crunch. The ragoons are LEGIT, stuffed with cream cheese. No skimping there. They brought over their house made ginger ale to try and oh my god; I seriously wonder if they sell that by the gallon haha. I would be here for it. Their curry was so flavorful I almost didn't miss the spice, though I did try to order it as spicy as I could lol. What can I say I'm a sick puppy lol. The flavor really was something special though. And if the food and service wasn't enough they have an abundance of beautiful thriving plants throughout the restaurant. Their numerous pothos were the stuff Pothos dreams were made of and I only home mine can vine as nicely as theirs one day. read more

My fiancé and I just arrived in Denver today. We were looking for a local place that would not be too far from our hotel. BOY DID WE LUCK OUT!! The restaurant was busy but not crowded, the food was delicious, and the wait staff were so nice! and they even offered us a free crab Rangoon and 2 ginger ale's on the house! We got the fried shrimp lettuce rolls and 2 medium bowls of pho (I had chicken and my fiancé had the beef meatball). The food was amazing! The fried shrimp was crispy, and the dipping sauce was delicious. The crab Rangoon is served with a sesame sauce and the typical red sweet and sour. It was some of the best crab Rangoon I've had in a while. The pho was savory and satisfying and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The medium bowl was very good sized and we both ended up with leftovers. Overall we could not have asked for a better first night in Denver! read more
