We came here for Friday night dinner and were able to get a seat right away. There was a beautiful mural on the wall of a lady with her back exposed and a wolf spirit. I thought I took a pic but sadly not. Although I plan to return so I'll take one next time. Anyways service was very good. The food came out so fast. We ordered the pork egg rolls, chicken banh mi sandwich and chicken rice bowl. Everything was very tasty. Prices were not expensive considering the portions were very healthy. read more

Pho tasted very authentic!! Broth tasted very clean along with the amount of onions. ( I LOVE ONIONS) Staff was super friendly and knew my friends that are regulars. Came with surprise shots that made the beginning of my trip very memorable!! Very unique vibe inside and out, along with the beautiful mural inside! 10/10 read more

Pho & Bar - Traditional Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Looks like a fun atmosphere to dine at. Unfortunately, we had other plans so we took our spicy Pho to go. It had very fresh veggies, the raw meat was separated from the rest and made it easy to add to the hot broth when ready to eat it without it getting over cooked. The broth was so tasty and I loved the mild spice level that was added above and beyond normal Pho broth. We also had spring rolls that were both tasty and extra large size because they were stuffed with extra veggies that added a fresh spin on spring rolls. The bean sauce to dip it into a very sweet but flavorful. I'll be ordering all of this next time we visit and hopefully taking advantage of the dinning al fresco on the comfortable looking patio. The bartender was very friendly and gave good insight on menu options. Overall good food and fun location. read more

Wow! I really enjoyed my experience at Pho & Bar! We were warned upon arrival that they were training a new staff in the kitchen and asked for patience, but I'm telling you... the wait was worth it! Yes, our items didn't come out in the correct order, but everything we tried was delicious. I opted for the traditional broth with rare beef and the broth alone was filled with a deep, rich flavor! The temperature was so nice and hot! For a chilly day, it was the perfect meal! I also really appreciated that they separated the noodles from the broth when asking for it to-go! I haven't seen any other local pho restaurants do that and it made me happy! My noodles will be holding up after all and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

This is a favorite Denver tradition of ours, and we come for pho almost every time we visit! The pho is hot and very large servings! The food comes out quick, even though the service can be slow at times. Cute murals and vibes read more

I grabbed some traditional pho with shredded chicken for take out and was pretty disappointed. The chicken was inedible -- entirely dried out and too tough to chew. The portion size was good but I was really bummed I ended up having to pick all of the protein out of my pho. The broth flavor was fine but tasted a bit "dirty". I'll stick with non-pho options here. read more

Nice casual trendy atmosphere. They have signature cocktails with an Asian twist. Whenever I hit a metro area, I like to explore some ethnic food options. Their House Pho packs a punch. If you like spicy and lemongrass you are in luck. This was an elixir since I still had the shivers from my early 20 degrees start. You choose your protein topping. I chose the raw beef and I love how they presented everything. If you order this dish, I recommend scooping the broth from the bottom to avoid packing all the chili oil in one slurp. I started with the Asian Buffalo Wings. I couldn't taste anything Asian about it. However it was done well with a batter and then tossed in the creamy buffalo sauce. Even the pedestrians took a second look and one woman said, "Oh my..." It had a decadent look to it. The chicken was not spoiled but not as fresh as I would have liked. The bartender was also taking my order on the patio and he was friendly. I heard him talking to other patrons about some concoctions he came up with behind the bar. Can't wait to return. It is located on a street with a couple of restaurant options. A few blocks from the park (four?). read more

Excellent, friendly service. The Pho Roll appetizer is really great. The Traditional Pho soup is slightly under flavored or maybe better described as subtle but still really good. Will try house pho next time. read more

Not sure if I ordered delivery on an off night, but the Traditional Pho was incredibly bland. Lacked flavor & spices. Super disappointing!

Really good and probably the best I've had in Denver. I love a good menu that has something new and not typically seen. The pho rolls weee this for me here. OMG, they were so good. The peanut sauce was amazing especially with the rice wrap. Wow. The pho broth was amazing. I like OG better than the Spicy actually. The packaging was great and very typical of others however the staff didn't overfill the containers. I have to been to their restaurant but I might pop in one day and sit at the bar portion for a nice Thai Coffee or Tea. It looks well maintained with plenty of lighting and seating available. read more

Deeply flavored broth and perfectly crafted cocktail makes this a great date night out location. I normally exclusively get my pho at my local "hole-in-the-wall" so was admittedly skeptical that the flavors I have fond to know and love, but the house pho had the perfect level of spice and the size was right! If you are feeling adventurous be sure to try the wings as well. read more

Super yummy and great service!!! We all got pho and the broth was delicious and the noodles were plentiful. We especially liked the pho roll appetizer - it is a bit fishy but we love that stuff. We ordered the banh mi to go for our snowboarding session the next day. The chicken banh mi was my favorite. Not too salty and just about right. The beef one was a bit too salty but good for a lunch after snowboarding. Thank you for accommodating our need to replace the fries with edamame! read more

Super cool place with a laid back vibe. Service was friendly and food came out incredibly fast. We enjoyed the pork egg rolls, shrimp fresh rolls and the pho roll. The pho roll was truly incredible, but watch out for the hidden chiles! We then had the traditional pho with rare steak. Broth was amazing! Loved the tray of accoutrements they brought out to make it your own. Steak wasn't as flavorful as I had expected, but overall a winning dish. Overall a great first meal in Denver and a place we would definitely visit again! read more

My first time ever eating Pho and it was awesome. We started with Hot Saki and some Japanese beer both of which were great. The edamame appetizer tasted great and hit the spot. I tried the Traditional Pho bowl with a combination of fillet, brisket, and meat balls and it tasted great and was filling. So glad to have tried it out. read more

Pho & Bar - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My friend and I arrived at Pho & Bar at 9:05 PM, well within their listed business hours of 12:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Although near closing, the restaurant had plenty of diners still eating inside, outside, and even the bar was full. The host seated us but then casually informed us that the kitchen would be closing in three minutes--meaning 9:08 PM. I asked for clarification: did this mean all customers, including those already dining, would be required to leave by 9:30 PM? The host confirmed, saying everyone had to be out by then. Faced with this absurdly rushed timeline, we excused ourselves and left, opting to eat at Steuben's instead. Ironically, on our way back from Steuben's at 10:25 PM, we drove past Pho & Bar and saw the restaurant still buzzing with diners--nearly an hour past their supposed "closing time" and far beyond the three-minute kitchen deadline we had been given. This experience was both baffling and disappointing. Restaurants should not seat customers if they intend to impose arbitrary and contradictory restrictions, let alone expect patrons to rush through their orders and leave on command. Clearly, their posted hours mean little, and their treatment of customers even less. We won't be returning. read more

Ok. So I'll admit... I was a little skeptical because I'm biased when it comes to Vietnamese food (mama is the best cook) but my fiancé wanted to try. We got there on a Saturday night and there was a 20-30 min wait so we got on the list and they said they'd text when the table was ready. We were texted within 10 minutes and seated outside. A lot shorter than expected and seated at a table that was open when we first got there. We were helped by a very friendly sever with waters and she ran back shortly to take our order. We had enough time waiting for her to come by so we were ready with everything we wanted. My fiancé got the Asian pear mule that came with a slice of the pear. We split shrimp spring rolls and Asian Buffalo wings to start. I got the combination pho (rare filet, beef, and meatball) and he got the banh mi that comes with fries. First, spring rolls - typical but typical is exactly what I like. The peanut sauce with it was delicious too. Yum. Now, the Asian Buffalo wings. Wooo! You definitely have to be okay with a little heat. These wings were juicy inside and the outside was crispy but not like a typical Buffalo wing - like a crisp you'd get in a fried chicken sandwich. Delicious!!! Shortly after, we got our entrees. The pho was a HUGE serving. I loved the bowl. It's tall so you don't have to lean over too much and get the pho sweats (IYKYK). :) It was refreshingly great. I did not expect such an authentic tasting pho and this more modern location. They give you the fixings on the side but it was the perfect ratio of hoisin and sriracha. My fiancé also really enjoyed his banh mi and again so awesome how authentic and not over the top like these trendy places try to do. The fries were probably the only thing we could have done with our. I'm impressed and the service was great too ! read more

I love pho. It is legitimately one of my favorite dishes, and have spent too much time trying as many places as possible. This place was a surprise hit. Far cleaner and with a far nicer staff than pretty much every other pho spot in town. Their spicy broth is amazing. I've had the house broth as well, but the spicy bump is perfect without it just being about spice. Wontons, wings, and corn are pretty darn good as well. I think my only complaint is that I usually get meats such as tripe and tendon at other places, and those are not offered here. read more

Amazing pho, best bang for your buck in Denver . Snuggled into the outskirts of Denver proper, this is a hidden gem. Portions are generous without sacrificing quality. Priced appropriately and quick. Get the Thai tea and house Pho w/ thin sliced filet, medium spicy, you won't be disappointed! read more

Chris one of the owners and just as hospitable as the other 2 owners Annie & Aron. Such a great family owned business. Loved finding this gem right after Covid and will continue to support such good food. The pho is exceptional the vibes are always great with feel good music to match the food. Pho house is the first location that definitely needs a try. read more

While in Denver, I wanted Pho because it is freezing being a Cali kid and below 20 degrees it is a must. With all the expectations of good Pho being close to Westminster all my life I didn't expect this pho to be that good. It's actually really great. The noodles and meat are plenty and just as you think you're done there is still meat and noddles inside. Our server was nice and friendly with suggestions and extras. The ambiance was chill, hipster modern, laidback vibe. I'd definitely recommend and I'd definitely go back for pho here again if in town. read more

Pho & Bar - House Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ok so in reality this is 4.5 stars. Really cool spot that's well decorated. I particularly liked the empty Buddha bottles behind the bar. It's a specific bottle and the person with me knew what it was but I can't remember the brand now only that they had a really cool effect. The main event, the pho, was delicious and the reason my 4.5 stars is rounded up instead of down. Broth was absolutely delicious. Savory. Perfect level of saltiness and umami flavor. I liked it so much that I ate it without taking a picture. That's how you know it's really good food because all thought goes out the window once you smell it! I'm always a fan of the rare beef which cooks in the broth as you eat it. Seemed like a good pink color when we started so I was very pleased. We also got the chicken wings with fish sauce. I don't particularly crave wings but my dining buddy really wanted to try them because he hadn't had them in a while (says his aunt makes the nest vietnamese food he's ever had). He was pleased. I liked the flavor. Fish sauce is so good when it's used well! So a little stench for all the flavor was well worth it. The pretty good parts were the cream cheese rangoons and the bar seating. I thought the dough was a little thick and more puff pastry than typical. But I mean, I still ate more than my fair share. As for bar seating, we got lucky and snagged the last two spots at the bar. With social distancing, half the tables were blocked off but the bar was at full capacity (aka sitting next to other parties). I know they're doing the best they can so I hope restrictions ease up soon and they can get back to using all tables. They filled water glasses for everyone at the corner of the bar right in front of us which was totally fine, but then left filled glasses there while we were eating? I thought they would have moved them after filling and was a little worried I'd splash my pho in one of the cups. So, just a slightly weird spot to keep water is all. All in all, good! Again, the pho, the most important part, was amazing. Super pleased with it! read more

This is one of the best pho places to go to for your money that I have found in Colorado. You get a lot of food for not a lot of money. There's only one size for the pho so we ordered one and had them split it into two for us. So that's roughly $5 a bowl of delicious pho. The color of the broth intrigued my interest to come here to try this place and I'm glad that I did. The five spices fries were really good. I never thought of adding five spices to them but why not- I add it for fun with other dishes I cook. The pho roll wasn't what I was expecting. It literally is just Vietnamese grilled beef with pickled veggies wrapped in the thick noodles. I don't know- I was expecting something crazier. It was good but not worth the hype. The staff is super kind. I came here on a Sunday at 2:00 and there were seats available and we found a parking space easily. There's seating indoors and outdoors. read more

I can get great Pho in the neighborhood that's only a short drive away? I'm down. I will be here often. Pho and Bar serves a "build your own bowl" style of pho where you choose your soup base and add any your proteins/veggies you want starting at $10.50. Portions are huge and there's a good amount of meat in each bowl. I've had better broths, but this one is still pretty good and flavorful for their traditional pho (7.5-8/10). I've done mostly take out so far, but they do have a patio and indoor seating available. Pho and Bar is not your traditional Vietnamese restaurant and has some interesting appetizers (cojita corn, a variety of different wings...) . I'll definitely have to come and try them sometime even if it's just through take out (which is packaged well and ready quickly). For main dishes, they have 3 "base" pho broths, banh mi, rice bowls and vermicelli bowls where you pick your proteins. I am super excited to have a good quality Vietnamese place nearby and want to try all their food! I'll be back soon. read more

Pho & Bar - Traditional pho with rare filet, meatballs and extra onion take out. ($10.50) - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

So - I'm glad there is pho in my neighborhood where I can easily walk to from City Park South/Congress to Uptown/City Park West from mi casa. And it's a cute place to socially distance and meet people outside for drinks and noms. It use to be Jax but what a nice replacement. Pro: 1) decent traditional beef pho 2) vegan pho options 3) banh mis are decent and comes with fries/spicy mayo sauce. Will ask for more meat and pickled daikons/carrots next time. It's really pricey at like $10 but if you are not driving to Vinh's near federal, this isn't awful awful. 4) decent outdoor seating options Cons: 1) not a fan of the spicy house pho, but that is because I don't like shrimp paste and it's not spicy despite it saying it is spicy. FYI - def not kosher for Shabbat night. Hahaha. But it's not listed as an ingredient which is strange since many people have a shrimp/shellfish allergy. I wouldn't have known unless the waitress told me when I asked about the difference. Glad I didn't take my best friend here bc I would be sticking an epi in her. But - Did get to try a sample of it and it's heavy on the shrimp but my other half liked it - so to each it's own. 2) no chicken broth options but you can add grilled chicken to your vegan or beef broth 3) higher pricing on the appetizers for summer/spring rolls and basics but oh well I don't have to drive anywhere Honestly - great to know when you can't get to federal or just want some warm pho for the upcoming winter that this is around the corner. It's not the best but it's good. I secretly brought some beef bones today but it's now in the freezer so doesn't look like I'm making pho anytime soon since it's an all day process! read more

Wow! I am SO EXCITED this place has opened. It's a wonderful addition to 17th street Uptown. The owners also own Pho Haus, my absolute favorite pho spot in Denver! When I heard they were opening a pho spot in my neighborhood, I knew I had to check it out! One of the elements that makes this place a star is the variety of broths you can choose from: traditional, haus (spicy version), or vegan. I LOVE all three of the broth options, and they are the same famous family recipes as at Pho Haus. Other than pho, they also have an expansive menu: banh mis, vermicelli rice noodle dishes, Asian chicken wings, edamame, crab rangoon, etc. The menu here is larger than the menu at Pho Haus, and there are more options for a bar-like feel, including a brand new cocktail menu. There is also lots of outdoor seating, right on 17th, which is great for people-watching and enjoying our amazing Colorado sunshine. Finally, the service here is excellent! Family-owned, friendly. They recognize their repeat customers, and they also greet you with a smile. It feels like a real community. I am so happy Pho & Bar is here! Amazing addition to the Denver restaurant scene! read more

*Hot Take* This is the best pho in Denver. We've tried many many spots, and while they're not all created equal, Pho & Bar is our go to when we want a great bowl of pho. It can be a challenge to get a seat here - especially in the cold months when their patio isn't available. When that happens, we jump on the waitlist and hang out next door at Reverence. The service is always nice and pleasant. They've taken care of us when we accidentally messed up our own order, which was definitely not necessary, but appreciated. Also, get the spicy edamame and "Asian Buffalo wings". Sleeper hits on the menu - we often get one or both! read more

Reasonably priced, great mixed cocktails, amazing food. Try to get here early because this place gets packed very often even during the week. The setting is a bit intimate since you'll be seated close to other people, but feels spacious due to all the large windows and tall ceilings. Recommend the House Pho if you like your food somewhat hot. If you actually like spicy then you'll need to add some Sriracha sauce! Also it's a BIG meal, so you'll leave feeling full! read more

Best pho in Denver. The house pho broth (especially w/ shrimp) is full of flavor and BANGIN!! So good

This place was so good that my friend couldn't stop talking about it and we had to come here again during our short trip. This is definitely an upscale, trendy modern, bar vibes of a Vietnamese restaurant. The prices are generous in my opinion (compared to California Bay Area prices) along with the portions. I was expecting whitewashed/americanized pho and boy was I wrong. The pho was really good, just like California Bay Area shops if not better than other well known places we go to! The pho rolls was also something that blew me away, it was a cross between a banh mi and a banh coun. Just a heads up the spicy pho was really different, I thought it was like bun bo hue but nope, it's a different slightly spicy version of the pho with more "flavortown" to it. Attentive service and friendly staff with super yummy and authentic food, go go go!! read more
