I've eaten at lot of Pho places and find that the biggest hang up with any of them is usually consistency. Pho 79 isn't the most consistent restaurant out there. They are usually on the good side though; occasionally great and occasionally bleh. Same can be said of the condiments. Usually the bean sprouts and basil is crisp and fresh but every now and again it'll come out rust colored and soft. They are convenient to me and I go back often. If your in the neighborhood or passing by I'd say they are well worth a try. If your looking for a destination bowl this probably isn't the place. With regard to a few of their other menu items: I've had a couple of bowls of Bun here without disappointment. Their Spring Rolls suffer some of the inconsistencies of their Pho. The Boba Tea and French Press coffee is as expected. read more

I had the Pho combo to-go. It was tasty and was ready for pickup quickly.

My husband and I have been here twice now. Once for dine in and the other time for carry out. Both times the food was amazing and the service was wonderful. Very reasonably priced. My husband and I both love the combination bowl. It gives you lots of different flavors to try. The pho is also very tasty. My husband and I could not get over how flavorful the broth was. read more

Service was ok, food came out pretty quick. We ordered veggie summer rolls waiter did not bring extra plates and didn't come back around for a while so that was a little annoying. Also if a restaurant serves tap water a straw to drink out of is a must for me personally that took awhile to get. The Pho was pretty good so all in all not a bad dining experience. read more

sooooo good. bowls the size of a small country. this place is delicious. i ask for the chicken pho in medium, then i add plum sauce and lime juice and all the other condiments they bring you. do yourself a favor and order the salty lemonade. it is tart and tangy and salty and oh, so good. read more

I have always wanted to try pho and 1 day my cubie neighbor asked if I wanted to go for pho at lunch, so of course I said for sure!! For my 1st experience, it was great, when you see that most of the people eating are Asian you know you're in the right place! This place served up all varieties of pho in all sizes of bowls, and it's so cheap! The food was served fast & the servers were really nice. I am hooked on pho now!! read more

It's a cold, gloomy day. You're in the mood for a huge bowl of soup. You don't want to drive far or get dressed up or spend a lot of money. This is the place for you! I'm a fan 'cause when it's a stormy day, or I'm feeling under-the-weather, I dub it a Pho day. Sure it's not glamourous inside, but when you meet the above criteria who cares. Some people may say, "It lacks home grown spicy flavor that most food from Southeast Asia is noted for, mmkay" Not to worry, they serve up some herbs with your meal along with sauces so you can flavor it however you like. I've taken a few people to this place with me and they're all hooked. Give it a try. read more

I love Pho 79... probably my favorite Pho place in the Denver area. I eat here at least once a week and am never disappointed. Medium #8 is my fave with an order of summer rolls. read more

I decided to try this place after reading the positive reviews but left disappointed. My wife pho soup was just warm, not hot as you would expect. The worst part was she ordered extra raw meat on the side and after she put them in the warm soup for a while it was still raw! Come on now, it's not that much to ask for hot soup at a pho place. read more

Great food, great service. Can't compare to other local spots as I am new to town, but I've had pho all over the country and Pho 99's was a some of the best broth I've ever tasted. read more

Service is fast (great for lunch) and the food is deliciousness x10! I always get the pho small #2 and don't forget about the Vietnamese egg rolls. I have been going here for years and it's always a treat when I get to enjoy some good food and get good service too! nom nom read more

My go to for pho. Always great and tasty. I've had the steak pho, rice combination, and the vermicelli combination and I absolutely love them. read more

If you don't care about your customers then don't run a business. If a customer makes a food request is your job to do it or let the customer know other alternatives but don't FEED beef broth to someone who has ordered veggie broth. If I request extra veggies then don't serve me only 4 pieces of carrot and 2 pieces of mushrooms. I payed $40 for an order where all my requests were ignored and the opposite seems to have been done on purpose. Needles to say, I'm very unsatisfied and won't be eating here ever again. Don't waste your time making any requests, these people don't care at all. read more

I used to eat here allllll the time when I lived near Aurora. For about $5, you get a gigantic bowl of steaming hot beef broth packed with meat and noodles, and a huge plate of vegetables to add to it. This was a great meal to have on cold winter days! read more

ok. my husband and I come here once a week. I'm not sure I can think of anytttthing negative to say. it is our favorite restaurant in denver. seriously. Why??? you ask? 1. the pho is amazing. ALWAYS good. always consistent...and it's sooooo affordable. and it's not bad for you. did i say always? yes. it is always good. 2. so is the other stuff on the menu--the rice dishes/bun dishes (rice noodles with your choice of meat). Their house made fish sauce is perfect. sweet, salty, a little spicy, a little sour. oh yes. whatever that soup that comes out with the rice dishes is--it is amazing. Hubby doesn't really like it...but i do, so I drink my bowl and his. It makes me think I'm at home. Soup, with rice dish so that you can wash down the rest of your food. [not a huge fan of the boba, but seems like everyone else likes it a lot.] 3. summer rolls are good. not AMAZING...but definitely beats making them myself. and yes, I do make them myself. They hit the spot when you're craving them...and that is often for me. The peanut sauce is good. 4. they have two big screen tvs that ALWAYS, without fail, have the nba games on. we're always able to sit near them if we want. it's like a bar, with good food! sweet! 5. they are SUPER efficient. yes, they aren't the most personable..but does that really matter? no. the food is amazing, fast, and always always always good, even when almost every table is full. How do they do it? other restaurants gotta learn from them. when you're hungry, you want your food fast, right? and it comes out fast,...always. woot woot. read more

Not sure what happened here but the pho is better and the same for the service. I was pleasantly surprised since my earlier visits to find these improvements. read more

I tried this place for the first time months ago after moving to the area. It was a cold and rainy day, so what better time than to get some pho!! The place was packed. Everyone had the same idea we did--but beat us to it, so we waited about 10 minutes for a table. We each ordered our pho bowls, and YIKES. It was bad. It tasted like weak chicken/beef broth with lots of star anise and cloves to 'flavor it up' a bit. It seemed they didn't have enough broth made for the unexpected large crowd, so they whipped some up quickly without letting beef bones simmer to create the broth. There was just no time. Hungry folks await! So I understood. Maybe it was just an off day because of the large unexpected crowds due to weather. We went back a month ago on a weekday evening. It wasn't packed, but the restaurant was about 1/3 full. Not too shabby! We ordered our pho bowls, and YIKES AGAIN!! The pho wasn't as bad as the first time we came, but it was not good. I'm Vietnamese, and have eaten at my fair share of pho restaurants, but this was just consistently bad. The cloves and star anise didn't overwhelm the broth this time as it did last, but the stock used is consistently poor. There isn't a lot of beef "flavor," as though no beef bones were used to or weren't allowed to simmer long enough. The cost of pho has risen a lot around the Denver metro area. Thus, it's better to use those hard earned dollars elsewhere! read more

Terrible terrible terrible when we arrived we waited 20 minutes for a waiter and then when the food arrived 35 mins later we saw people that had already arrived after us who got their food almost half an hour earlier and the owners had absolutely no reason or nothing they did not even apologize to us and then they told us that the spring rolls that were ordered where the reason why everything took so long I've been here numerous times and I never ever ever had that happen. Will not return here ever again read more

I gotta say, i was not impressed as much as before when we went today. We got the #10 and a Combo bowl. The noodles in the pho were undercooked and took a while to get to the right consistency (since the soup is still hot), the meat was also not as good quality as i'm used to, especially the brisket. The bowl was in no better shape... The noodles were all in a big stuck clump, the beef was way over seasoned and burned. The place is also looking a bit dirtier than usual... Such a shame. read more

My boyfriend said I look at my phone too much, but the Pho was delicious. The parking lot was small, which may be a problem for deficient Colorado drivers, but shouldn't be a problem if you recently came from a normal Eastern State where people know how to maneuver a vehicle. read more

I go this Pho place pretty often since they are located near my house. Their food is always great. On our last visit, My husband and I ordered medium combination Pho and rice combonation plate. It was really good that day. We thought they just prepared meat. All of meat on our plates or in the soup was really soft and juicy. We really enjoyed our food. Also, service was really good. They checked on us occasionally. They refil our water often and brought our check on time. We enjoy eating here always. read more

Pho 99 Aurora - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place has gone completely down hill. When I first came to this restaurant back in 2009, it was absolutely amazing and I am sure anyone who has visited this restaurant a few years back can recall that the pho was indeed pretty good. When I recently came here, the flavor completely changed. The broth wasn't as piping hot as it use to be, and it didn't have a rich flavor it once did. Also the meat didn't look too good and didn't taste good at all whatsoever. Also the noodles weren't al dente and some where hard while others were too mushy. I definitely will not come back here. I'm not sure what happened to this place. Perhaps a change in ownership? Whatever they're doing I hope they can fix it and bring back their delicious pho because it's tasting a bit crappy. read more

Absolutely love this place, great Pho and affordable priced! My favorite Pho place in the Denver Metro area

This place is really just average. The service is poor. I really like Top Pho on Colfax much better where they have a much better vegetarian menu and will ask if you want veggie broth rather than fish broth. Not sure why this place is so packed when others nearby are better. read more

Their food is worth the trip! Randomly stopped by for some dinner and ended up ordering a bunch of different appetizers (I recommend the dumplings), entrees, and even milk tea for dessert. It was extremely reasonably priced and the staff was prompt and friendly. We will be coming back soon. read more

I love the soup and u get your moneys worth portion size. I will be going back with wifey.

This place is PHOKING awesome! Their pho is really good, but I love their noodle bowls the best. I have to agree with anoter reviewer and their Coconut juice drink is something you have to try there. read more

In my opinion pho79 has the best soup in Colorado. Hands down they have the best broth. I ve been to almost all the pho places on Federal and alot in Aurora. I won't eat pho any where else. They're always fast. It's a also a good value. read more

Went to have lunch with some friends at not my normal "pho" place. They had pho. I had the grilled pork with rice. My dish wasn't bad. It was flavorful but was a small portion. The pho on the other hand was horrible from what my friends said. They added so many other ingredients in it that it still did not taste good. They did not finish their soup. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Great pho! Loved the mango mochi ice cream. Great value for amount of food. staff is friendly and is very efficient.

Set the record straight- great PHO! Pho 79 is benchmark Pho. It's what most of those other places that opened 2 years ago are trying to be. If you're not a Pho lover, you might be a little confused culturally when you eat Pho here. There is just a simple large hall with cheap tables and simple menus. A good Pho place typically seats 100+ people at any given time so decore needs to be Spartan. Also, you pay at the counter. Your table has little flags with numbers on it; go to the counter and state your number and you'll receive a bill which you pay there and then. You won't have a waiter like other restaurants, least not like Euro/ American idea of a waiter. Someone will come to the table and take your order and there are several people who might fill your water glass. But if you need something else, you'll need to make a motion to one of the general room staff if you'd like something more. This restaurant is run based on similar restaurants in Asia so expect a small cultural trip when you eat there. And eating there is great. The Pho is GREEEAAAT! Some of the best in Denver. And no I'm not going to argue who is the best, because there are too many factors that those who have never actually cooked Pho don't understand. Point is, this place serves great Pho. I was there at 10 am yesterday and there were 25 people already there. Try going at 5:30 or 6. You'll see another 100 people who know for 6 bucks, this is a great deal with excellent Pho. Better still, it is right around the corner from Kaiser East which makes it a great place to stop after a flu shot or welllness check up! read more

This is one of my favorite Pho spots in the Aurora area. The food is consistently good, best broth for Pho I've ever had. The staff is fun and always ready for you too. Never move locations please! You guys are great. read more

Consistently good pho. We always get the seaweed salad as well - a nice healthy little appetizer.

I'm addicted! I sent a message to my wife the other day asking for help, I've been here for lunch 75% of my lunches during the past few weeks. I just can't help myself! Going in and sitting down at a table and having my delicious, delicious pho within minutes is amazing. The quality is grand and never changes. I'm very happy that PHO 79 is so close to work and that I know what I will be getting when I sit down ready to slurp. read more

Pho is great. but the broth here is really flavorful. The vegetables are fresh and the waiters are nice. This and Pho 95 on fed are my two favorite pho places. I would suggest which ever is closer to where you live, or if you like bigger spaces then Pho 79 has more room and tables. I have been here many times, and order different types of pho, eggrolls, and boba tea for dessert PROS: Broth is flavorful. Portions are generous. Price is cheap. Large open seating area, usually has free tables right away. Wait staff are friendly. CONS: Hm... I really don't think I have a con. Well, actually one time I think they gave me too many noodles-to-broth ratio, but some people like that. I just asked them for more broth and they brought it out to me. Bottom-line: Great place, I would definitely recommend to someone. Nice causal dining experience. read more

Met my dad for lunch. We tried the family platter make your own spring rolls. For $23.95 we got basically a big platter of bean sprouts and lettuce, 1 eggroll cut in 2 pieces and burnt beef that tasted weird. Maybe 5 shrimp. A chicken breast sliced. Looks can be deceiving as it looked overwhelmingly a huge platter only to dig and find that it was piled high with bean sprouts instead. A package of spring roll wrapper and a bowl of hot water. It was put on a small platter that everything fell off on to the table like the noodles and crumbled beef when trying to get stuff to make a spring roll. I asked for another plate to separate noodles from the veggies and that is when I found that 70% was bean sprouts. Our waters were filled consistently. My boba was ok. The waiter asked if it was good and my dad was like no and he kinda laughed and walked away. Used to be Pho 79 but I guess new management or owners as Pho 99? Not as good now. Our total was almost $30. Better to get pho instead!! read more

Pho 99 Aurora - $23.95 family platter make your own spring rolls. Don't recommend unfortunately. - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

First time here, fast friendly service. A I got the beef and meatball pho, it was delish. I watched others order some vietnamese egg rolls, and they looked great. The Iced coffee was really good too. read more

The pho is pretty good but get it to go. These guys don't speak the best English and can be pretty rude. I like their broth a little better than other places in the area, but horrible service. Idk maybe just skip it. Or just get take out. The boba is pretty decent as well read more

I tried this place based on the yelp ratings. I really wanted to introduce my husband to Pho because it's one of my favorite foods. I have eaten pho since I was about 10 years old and have tried it in many cities and places. I've been to places that were fancy and cost more and places in D.C. that were super cheap and only had rows of plastic tables, where you shared tables with random people. For me, as long as the Pho is good I could care less who I'm sitting with. I could barely get my husband through the door because the stench was so bad... it literally smelled like human urine. It sounds crazy that I actually stayed to try the food but that is how determined I was... the tables were dirty and the menus were sticky and crusted with filth. Personally I am willing to overlook these details if the food is good... it wasn't. The broth was not flavorful and the side of goodies was missing lime and jalapeños, which I consider essential. The basil and sprouts were also wilted. I truly don't understand the good reviews. This experience pretty much ruined my husband from ever trying Vietnamese again, which is the biggest crime. We paid and walked out of the restaurant after only a couple of bites. read more
