    Combo meat pho half  and half broth..PERFECT
    Brooke W.

    So we came back with a big group and we were able to try the curry pho, short rib pho and duck pho, holy moley YUM. All if them were good but I loved the curry pho, so different and the flavors worked!! The lemongrass chicken dumplings are fried ever so lightly, soor no pic the were so food we ate them up before I could. The service was amazing per usual. The espresso martinis are $10 and boozy..This is our favorite pho spot now!! Yay

    Pho (Traditional + House mix)
    Jami W.

    Came here for a solo lunch mid week in September. They weren't too busy when I walked in and had the choice of sitting anywhere. I selected to sit inside at the booth. The menu isn't too extensive which is nice because everything sounded so good-- made it just a little easier to settle on something. I went with the Pho white meat chicken and mixed the traditional & house broth. Pho was phenomenal-- I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

    Our go to Viet spot in/near downtown. Their house special pho is like a combination of bun bo hue plus pho broth! We get this every time. The prices are great as well as you'd expect a place like this to cater to higher income individuals given the location and demographics. It's a hip, trendy, and modern looking restaurant. Their to gos even come in a very cool looking recycle bag. I love the fusion appetizers. The pho roll is def a must! They don't skimp out on the elote either.

    Literally my husband and I just got to Denver and we're craving some pho! WOW!! This place is all the feels! The music was a vibe, servers were kind and helpful. We got a bowl of pho with beef meatballs and a lemongrass beef banh mi! The portions are huge!!! Also free 2 hour street parking. What a great find when visiting Denver!!! A must to visit!!!!

    Went to this joint between visiting the museum of science and nature and the Denver zoo. Food: - ordered the combination traditional pho for $15 - soup wasn't very hot - brisket was chewy and did not taste fresh but the meatball and rare steak were fresh and delicious - noodles were cooked to perfection - basil, jalapeño and lime were fresh but the bean sprout were large and browning Ambience: - definitely feels geared to the younger/working population - very modern - creative drinks and creative decor - trendy music was playing even in the bathroom Service: - freaking amazing - I have never been to a pho place where they were so willing to split the bowl for you (and it was literally buying 2 bowls for the price of 1... thank you!!) and so willing to customize to your liking (such as I didn't want any of the meat so all the meat was placed in the other bowl) - taking out...they were so willing to separate the noodles from the soup too!! Parking and location: - you see a lot of folks walking around - not much to do - parking is mainly street parking but it isn't difficult as you can find free parallel parking in the neighborhood without signs (apologies to those that live in the area!) Thank you Pho & Bar for making my day and for such an amazing experience!

    Reusable cloth bag

    Yummy! I've been wanting to try this place as it's only a mile away from our house. I was first blown away by this tote bag that is reusable. What a beauty! My hubby is sick so wanted to order him some comfort food. This place did not disappoint! He is loving the broth and the rare steak pho. I got the grilled chicken pho, what a burst of flavors in my mouth. It also is very filling, I can normally eat my pho in one setting but with this one, I have left overs and also more broth. I can't wait to go see this place inside, whoever is on their design team and marketing, deserves a raise. Amazing job everyone! :)

    Combination House Pho
    Stefanie C.

    I've been wanting to come here for a while, but it's always busy! I finally met up with friends here one Saturday afternoon for lunch, and we all had to park several blocks away. Just be prepared to wait at least an hour. Service was fast, but it's a little chaotic. We were seated at the bar, and I loved the fusion between Asian restaurant and sports bar vibes. I ordered the Combination House Pho which was DELICIOUS! Plenty of noodles and meat, and the thought of the broth makes my mouth water. I did throw a wrench into my own plan by asking for Vietnamese Coffee to-go. It was totally forgotten about until I managed to flag someone down, who then personally prepared my coffee. Totally coming back again!

    Pho rolls were bomb.com!
    Kevin W.

    What a great spot that I can add to my list before I have a concert at the nearby venues (Fillmore and Ogden). This is a more Vietnamese fusion serving great rolls and drinks! Atmosphere is definitely more upscale and hip, you won't expect authentic pho (which I recommend actually going to more authentic places like Pho Saigon, or any of the great hole in the wall places on Federal). House Pho is almost like a Bun Bo Hue but meant for people are not used to spices and the other offerings you typically get. Broth is fairly light, I had to add a decent amount of hoisin and Sriracha to bring up the flavor profile. It's cheap but compared to other places in Denver, you get less here. Toppings are in the light side. The beef pho rolls were a hit! The fish sauce based sauce was amazing and all of the flavors blended well. It was definitely a flavor bomb! Crunch garlic and shallot bits as well as fresh herbs really elevate this dish. You won't expect the best Vietnamese food here, but for a fusion it does it good. I would highly recommend their apps, but pass on the pho.

    Great pho even for vegans! Full service bar delicious hot pho and a convenient location!

    Vietnamese pork egg rolls
    Annette T.

    Great modern Vietnamese restaurant. I came with my partner for a date night and we split the pork egg rolls and the bowl of House Pho with brisket. I really appreciated that they split the bowl up into 2 smaller bowls for us to share. The House Pho tasted like a fusion of pho and bun bo hue to me, which is another traditional Viet noodle soup. I really liked it and would recommend it if you like something a little more savory and spicy! The egg rolls were good although I wish they included 4 instead of 3. They had some cocktails on the menu too but I didn't feel like drinking. Next time!

    Pho & Bar is one of my go-to's with it being a close walk from me. It's a modern Vietnamese restaurant with great cocktails. It's small so it fills up fast, but I haven't had to wait long for a table. To start, the buffalo wings are very good, perfectly tangy with a kick. The chicken is cooked well with a slight crunch to them. Absolutely love their house pho. It is basically a Bun Bo Hue broth with pho noodles and toppings. This means it's spicy with a touch of lemongrass. It is perfectly savory and healing. Their traditional is also a good broth. Perfect for a lazy day or a day where you might need a hangover cure. And if you need hair of the dog, they have great cocktails. My all-time favorite is the Lychee Mule. So delicious and refreshing. If you're up for a challenge, they have the mega mule which can be shared with 3 other people or 2 if you're feeling ambitious. Another good one is the spicy thai bloody mary which was seasonal so isn't available any more. Pho & Bar has some of the best pho in the Denver Metro area, and I can't recommend them enough.

    A pretty unique spot! I've been wanting to come and try the pho roll since it is the closest thing to a dim sum roll (Cantonese style rice crepe with fillings such as shrimp, beef, etc.) not often can you find a rice noodle sheet that is white and not translucent, it makes for a different texture. It's fun to eat and the filling was tasty. With the signature Vietnamese toppings such as peanuts and fried shallots which added a much welcomed crunch. The house pho had me sniffling! It was spicy for my standard (of course since I'm pretty weak in that department, lol) but I couldn't stop eating it! That tells me I enjoyed it very much. We came at a good time: not too busy and easy to find party. Service was friendly and attentive. The amount of food was perfect for digestion so we had room to explore this side of town with snacks in mind!

The aesthetic is absolutely perfect because it feels both classy and comfortable at the same time. Our table was ready to go well ahead of our arrival which made the start of our meal very smooth. The food was a major highlight of the experience. The Brie and Bacon toast was delicious and you really cannot beat their bottomless mimosas for a celebratory morning. We did run into a bit of a strange interaction regarding an iced tea order. One friend asked for iced tea and was told twice that they did not serve it, so she settled for a zero proof mixed drink. However, when the rest of our party arrived and someone else ordered an iced tea, the server took the order immediately. When we asked for clarification, he mentioned he was simply confused by the initial question. It was a bit of an awkward start, but my friend eventually got her tea. I guess our takeaway is to be more specific about what we mean by iced tea. Later in the meal, our server cashed us out because his shift was ending. We were still eating and finishing our drinks, and unfortunately, we were not introduced to a new server to take over. This meant we had to walk back and forth to the bar ourselves for refills or any additional orders. Aside from those specific moments, the server was actually very efficient and kind, and the rest of the staff was wonderful and accommodating. The overall quality of the food and the beautiful environment mean we will definitely make our way back in the future.

We had large group of 10 people, which they accommodated easily without any crowding of our party or other tables. The front desk was very efficient with getting us seated, including directing others to our table they arrived. The initial table service was quick and efficient, however after the orders were taken, the service lagged considerably. Follow-up visits by our server were lacking and numerous times had to literally flag down our server for any drink refills, to-go boxes and our checks. As far as food is concerned, all the lunch meals looked fresh and delicious as they were being served. However, the Fish and Chips I ordered turned out to disappointing, due to the fish seem to have been steamed at some point and had a mushy texture rather than the firmness of a nice filet of fish. The chips served were very good, with nice crisp outside, which also was the case for the light tempura-like batter on the outside of the fish. I must admit the Reuben sandwich that another ordered looked amazing. Overall, the location of Penn Street is convenient and with the accessibility of the parking garage (Penn Street validates the 1st 2-hours of parking), is a very nice place to meet for lunch. Even with the service and my lunch meal, I would return, as all restaurants have off days of service or food, and many of the other dishes ordered looked great. Tips for your visit: If you have a large party, they use Open Table for reservations and accommodate us with separate checks. If you like people watching, ask for table by the window.

First, wife is a vegetarian and they had no mains other than Mac and cheese for her. She ordered the salad without chicken which was $25. They knocked it down to $22 after I asked why it was the same price without meat, which still seemed like a lot for a salad with no protein. Kids' Mac and cheese was not the same receipe as last time; it was a different noodle and seemed to be needing some salt as it was pretty bland. Unlike our last visit they did not include an ice cream for dessert. My fried chicken and waffles was ok--the breading was a bit soggy though and I much preferred the Nashville hot chicken from my last visit. If I'm being honest this was closer to a 2 star experience, but with how good the last visit was, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they maybe tonight they were just off. That said--need one vegetarian entree for the menu.
