I was visiting Denver for a quick weekend trip, and I landed on Pho 888 as one of two options to try out the Viet food in the area based on various great reviews. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. The restaurant was clean and spacious with ample seating. The spring rolls were excellent--good amount of filling of pork and shrimp with the right amount of lettuce and noodles, and the peanut sauce was flavorful! The pho bo vien was pretty good as well. The broth was rich in flavor without being too fatty. I appreciated the three size options for pho--small, medium, and large--as most places tend to only have one portion size. Their ca phe sua da was strong and not too sweet. read more

Still some of the best pho in Denver! This is one of those places where you eat past the point of calling out "I'm full" and where you are so excited to dig in that you forget to take a photo...which is exactly why I didn't get a picture of my pho for this review update. Highly recommend the eggrolls and chicken salad! read more

I have tried a good amount of Vietnamese restaurants in the Denver area, and I'm always down to try some new places. Pho 888 was well rated by the community and I wanted to check this place out. We went on a Saturday around 8PM and was able to get seated immediately. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza so there is ample parking. There are a good amount of decorations and cozy lighting that is standard for pho restaurants. Many tables are spread within the restaurant, and service is fast - we ordered and got our food within 10 minutes. We got the Pho dac biet - large ($16) and the Bun dac biet ($17), which was a decent amount of food. For the pho, broth was pretty standard, though I couldn't really taste spices and it was more fish sauce forward. I also wished that there was more beef in the bowl and that they were more generous with that, because it felt like there was only a very small handful in the bowl and it was finished very quickly. I would say that this is a pretty standard middle of the line pho that you can get here in Denver. The combination bowl was good, they were more generous with the meat, but it tends to lean a little bit on the saltier side. The beef was slightly tougher, but I will attribute that we came closer to closing time and maybe things aren't as fresh as expected. I would say that pho 888 is a standard Vietnamese restaurant in comparison to other pho restaurants in the Denver area in terms of both flavor and price, and if you are looking to satisfy that craving, it will do the job. read more

When walking in they ask you how many and direct you to a numbered table. The menu was super easy to read and I noticed that they recently updated their prices since it was taped on. The sizing of pho bowls are hung around the top of the restaurant which helped to visually see what size we wanted. Both my husband and I opted for a medium bowl which was $13.95. We got different meats and boy was it served FAST. The broth is very homey and comforting. I will say its not as clear as I like my pho broth to be, but it was still good. Definitely had a lot of salt in it and did not need extra. I love the lime to help cut the soup with some acid. Meat was great. Size prices were the following: Small: $12.95, Medium 13.95, Large: $16,95. Pretty decent pricing! Would be back. read more

Pho 888 Vietnamese Noodle & Grill - #15 Pho with Brisket and Tendon - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I came here on busy Friday evening and was immediately greeted and seated. The staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the vegetarian spring rolls (2 pc) which seemed very fresh and the peanut sauce was good. A medium size bowl of pho was enough to feed myself and a young child with leftovers to take home. The pho was clean and tasty. I'm giving the place a four-star review because some areas of the restaurant could use more attention when cleaning. We were sitting by the window and I had to stop my child from touching the blinds because they look like they haven't been cleaned in awhile. The chairs also felt sticky when I tried to pull my child in closer to the table. read more

Pay at the counter when you're done. Their large combination pho had a lot of meat, but only one piece of meatball and one piece of tendon. They could have been more generous. The beef fried rice had plenty of beef while the shrimp fried rice could have had more shrimp (see photo). As one would expect from a casual pho restaurant, its family-friendly, low key and quick service. read more

Very good food and service. We stopped here before our flight home and they were quick on service and nice. Brought out everything we needed. I think my pho bowl was missing a meat that I ordered. But we were in a hurry so I didn't bother. The eggrolls were my fav and I could eat that as a meal. Their fish dipping sauces were very good, on the lighter side. I was okay on the crab Rangoon but it did have good filling. Would def come back here next time in Denver read more

It's been about 6 years since I last came to this place. Here in Colorado this weekend so took the opportunity to visit my favorite Pho place in Colorado. Let me tell you, the quality of their food hasn't changed a bit. I was looking for Lin, the owner, but he was off today. Their egg rolls are to die for. Very tasty and love the crispiness of the wrapper. I think they use rice paper instead of an egg roll wrapper. This time I ordered their mixed grill meat plate and it was heavenly. Every bite is just full of flavor and for $17.95, it's worth every penny. I ordered a side of Pho broth and it did not disappoint. If ever you're in Denver or layover and you have at least 3 hours before your flight, come and visit this Pho place either on your way to DIA or as soon as you arrive in DIA. I know that you will not be disappointed!! read more

This place has solid pho. Its not the best, but you always know what youre gonna get. The place is cute and always always busy! There are lots of staff around and food gets to your table very quickly. The pho is good, broth is flavorful, has a good amount of meat. The price is decent, their prices keep increasing, but for good reason. The basil and bean sprouts arnt always super fresh looking but it'll do. I have been here countless times because of its proximity. Its a good quick go to spot. read more

This spot always hits! My favorite pho restaurant in Aurora, service is always spot on and every meal I've always had has been delicious. They never question when I ask for extra pho veggies, sauces not provided on the table, sides of fresh thinly sliced onion or extra sauce containers to mix my sauces in. I also love that they are so friendly and recognize their regulars even if it's been a minute since youve been in. (Because most of the time someone else from the office goes and grabs the takeout order for lunch.) The goi ga (chicken salad) is so refreshing, gorgeously plated and so damn tasty! The eggrolls, spring rolls, pho, rice plates and noodle bowls are all equally amazing. Definitely one of my favorite Aurora places to eat! read more

Better than average pho restaurant! Decent servings and the broth doesn't make you feel too bloated afterwards. I liked to eat mine with chili garlic oil but sometimes the staff either runs out or doesn't know what I'm asking for lol regardless, still one of my top choices for pho on this side of town. Plus, it's also right next to Paris Banh Mi, and I love to stop by and get a Banh Mi for later after I finish my pho! read more

Pho 888 Vietnamese Noodle & Grill - Special Pho Combo - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

My boyfriend and I, who are both Black, visited Pho 888 and unfortunately had a very uncomfortable experience from the moment we walked in. We were only the second table seated, and as soon as we sat down, our silverware was basically dropped onto the table with one napkin for the two of us. The oil that was served looked old, like it had been sitting out all night, and the condiment area was dirty. I ordered the #14 and my boyfriend ordered the #32. During most of our visit, several servers sat at a middle table on their phones. What really stood out to us was the difference in treatment we received compared to other customers who came in after us. The staff suddenly became much friendlier, more attentive, and welcoming toward them, while continuing to treat us with cold attitudes. I have eaten pho many times throughout my life, so I know what good pho and a good pho restaurant are supposed to be like. Normally when you walk into a pho restaurant, you immediately smell the rich fragrance of the broth. Here, there was none of that. The vegetables also did not seem fresh at all. By the time my pho arrived, I had completely lost my appetite because the atmosphere made me feel unwelcome. I was so upset I just sat there and spaced out. I didn't even touch my pho!! I asked for to go containers. They gave me 2 and had me pour it as well. The walls were covered in dried sriracha splatter, which also made the restaurant feel unclean overall. Once it became obvious that I was upset, because I had not touched my pho! The staff then started repeatedly asking if I was okay and wanting to be nice now. Too late! The experience had already been ruined. I normally do not leave reviews like this, but the difference in treatment was impossible to ignore and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. We will not be returning. read more

Seriously the best Vietnamese food in Colorado!! One of the owners is a notorious gifted chef. The noodle bowls and pho broth are memorable. I live up North but drive to aurora to get high quality food! Highly recommend and worth any wait- if there is one. Service is also fast and friendly!! read more

I forgot to take a picture of my meal, it was so good! I ordered a pho with brisket and a melon smoothie, both were great and exactly what I was wanting. Service was great and the ambiance is nice as well. read more

Craving for some pho the past few days and I just had to get some. The place had ample parking and inside had ample seating. Well, it was a mid-afternoon Tuesday. Staff were attentive and I was helped immediately. Take out orders are taken at the cashier and I got my food within 5 minutes. Smelled great when I opened it. The soup was blazing hot. I never ordered pho take away before so I didn't know what to expect. The rare beef was still frozen-esk? Not sure if other places does it that way, but it was interesting. By the time I poured the broth, the bowl became warm and not hot like as if you're eating at the restaurant. I ordered the medium bowl and that was a bit much for me. So I split it. Flavor was great and it hit the spot. Wish they gave me a little more herbs. The spring rolls was good as well! Fresh and not dry. Would definitely come back and do a sit in. read more

Forgot to take photos but they wouldn't have done it justice anyway ;) I went here with a friend, this is her favorite spot and I was excited to try it! The location shares a parking lot with the surrounding businesses. They were able to seat us immediately! The menu had three sizes for pho. The medium was perfect for dinner! I got the pho with brisket! It came quickly and it was hot and fresh! The broth had a good flavor and the meat was tender. I thought the noodle portion was good! I always prefer a little more noodles but that's me. Overall it was a great experience and the staff were friendly and attentive! Family friendly environment for sure! I will definitely be back! read more

The best pho I've had in a while. Maybe it's cause I've been craving it but it satisfied all of my expectations. One of the few restaurants that have pickled onions too. This made me so happy. The restaurant itself is so nicely organized and the service was fantastic. We kept asking for add-ons and they accommodated all of our requests without hesitation. Loved everything read more

We were a group of eight and were able to all sit together. We had no issues with parking or finding the restaurant. It is located within a plaza that is super spacious, and not crowded. My boyfriend and I ordered two Cà Phê Sữa Đá (Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk), Passionfruit Smoothie, Gỏi Cuốn (Spring Rolls), a large Phở Dặc Biệt, and Cơm Heo Nướng. All the food and drinks we ordered were good and we were definitely full by the time we left. I really liked the Passionfruit Smoothie, surprisingly. It was sweet and super refreshing. The only issue we had as a group was, we had no forks. We didn't need forks, but we were surprised that we were given so many chopsticks to use for all our dishes, like the rice plates. read more

I had a great experience here. I ordered the #15 pho which has brisket and steak and the egg rolls for an appetizer. The pho was absolutely delicious and the egg rolls were a yummy starter. The portions were very generous as well. I would recommend getting the small for one person but if you are looking to have left overs the medium would be perfect. The service exceeded expectations here. The waiter was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. After you finish your meal you pay at the counter and they can give you a box for leftovers then. read more

Best Vietnamese noodle bowl and fish sauce that I've had in 10 years! The meat is cooked perfectly. Staff are friendly and caring. Prices are amazing. Their crispy eggrolls are the best in town, in my opinion. I didn't know about this place but my husband and I will be frequent flyers here. Can't say enough good things about the quality of the food, the generous portions and the amazing prices. read more

This location is amazing. Great service and food! Make sure you order the spring rolls!

I am part Vietnamese so I grew up eating homemade pho and this is the only place in Colorado that taste very authentic. I love that you could ask for the oil that was created from boiling the bones to make the broth. They also serve raw sliced onion if you ask for it. That is a stable at my house. Their service is alway great. Highly recommend! read more

We came here to eat dinner before heading to the airport. I ordered the lemongrass tofu bowl and my friend ordered the small beef pho soup. My tofu bowl was really good. The tofu was perfectly seasoned and the flavor was fantastic! My friend thought his bowl of beef pho was just okay. Service was great and the waiter kept coming over to refill our water. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here to try their other option of noodle bowls. read more

I'm from the DMV and def consider myself a Pho snob. This Pho was aiight. Will I be back? Nope. Pho broth is suppose to be hot. Why are you serving raw steak in Pho in a warm broth to a customer? Never in my life have I seen a restaurant serve a "slice" of a meatball in Pho either. Idk different standards but this place was all hype. I'll hav pass. read more

Nice little spot for some great Vietnamese food. Friendly staff, and really quick service. They felt. The food itself came in pretty decent portions and the taste was pretty good as well. Definitely interested to come back here and try more of their dishes. Bonus: they also have boba!

Pho 888 Vietnamese Noodle & Grill - Small bowl with well done brisket and tendon - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I paid $32.00 plus tip for a small PHO and a fried rice this week for one person. The PHO was smaller than usual--very little meat and basil, and sprouts this time. Been going there since it opened many years ago--this time was the worst tasting food--smaller portions for higher pricing. I used to go there at least once a week for many years and food was excellent--now it is below average. Fried combo rice had chopped shrimp pieces and little meat--no flavor. Too many servers and sub par food. Not going back there. So long. read more
