    Pho Combo 1
    Sara C.

    Bring Cash! You'd save a 3% fee. They accept card as well with the fee charged. Service was quick and good. Food did take a while for a combo pho. Menu is a little different than the Pho Duy in Broomfield, but overall delicious and good amount of food. The beef slices were thickly cut. Clean restaurant with great customer service and yummy food! Will be back again when going to see Thuy for haircut a few doors down.

    Big stores small parking quick service. Extensive menu. We ordered 3 #1 large and 6 other variety and some drinks. Busy ambience with people cris cross all over. Surprised that the #1 came out last. Everybody finished their own bowl which is very hearty. Not the very best Pho but fit the bill and the portion is huge.

    Visiting Denver and took a Lyft to this restaurant which appears to be in a Vietnamese and Hispanic area of the city - so hopes were high for an authentic Pho. Plenty of seating inside with the standard accoutrements at the table. The menu is huge! We ordered the summer rolls and I had the Pho Ga/Chicken Pho. The summer rolls were well filled with a good ratio of noodle to proteins, but the shrimp was slightly warm which threw me off. I was expecting a cold dish. Made the bite have a slight fishy taste. The dipping sauce was a peanut base sauce, we added siracha/hot sauce to it. The Pho broth was hot and had a full satisfying flavor. The noodles were thin but not over cooked, just perfect. They use chicken breast which was quite stringy and not tender. The pieces of chicken were large so maybe that added to the issue. I definitely prefer dark meat in Pho. Service was efficient and the food came quickly.

    Pho Duy is exactly what you'd expect from a classic Vietnamese pho restaurant--nothing fancy, just simple and straightforward. Don't come here looking for a sleek, modernized ambiance; this place is all about the food. The service is quick and efficient, which I appreciate when I'm craving a fast, satisfying meal. The menu is extensive, offering plenty of options for pho enthusiasts and newcomers alike. When the pho arrived, it was piping hot--just the way it should be. It felt like a warm hug in a bowl, the perfect antidote to a chilly Denver day. That said, the broth could use a bit more depth to really stand out, but it still hits the spot when you're in need of comfort food. Pho Duy has become my go-to pho spot whenever I'm in Denver. It's not perfect, but it's reliable, authentic, and consistently delivers on what you'd expect from a solid bowl of pho. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5

    - was able to accommodate our large party of 17 - excellent customer service, they speak english and viet - free hanh dam/onions on the side - both bo kho and pho were v flavorful and yummy - bowls were priced around $16 - skip the crab ragoons/wontons, not that good - would def return!!

    There's a wide variety of pho options in Denver, but one of my faves is Pho Duy of of Federal Blvd.! For me, consistency is key, and they're spot on. Their broth is always hot and flavorful, basil/bean sprouts/lime/jalapeños are fresh, noods are cooked perfectly, & the meats are . I'd 10/10 recommend defrosting over a bowl of pho... throw in some shrimp spring rolls + Vietnamese egg rolls and you've got yourself one heck of a meal! The interior is your traditional and classic Vietnamese restaurant--warm, homey, and bustling! The service is usually quick, but can be slower during the dinner rush.

    After a long day of skiing, a nice bowl of Pho was a must to soothe our souls. The service and ownership here is super gracious and accommodating, they were able to serve us very quickly despite us coming in about 30 minutes before close. The pho I got here sufficiently met my needs and hit the spot. They give you a decent amount of meat and the pricing is pretty standard for what you'd expect for a bowl of pho nowadays.

    Food - compared to other spots not the best. Saigon Bowl North on Feds is exeptionally better. This spot is fast pace, in and out. Not as clean and attentive. I am thankful for the meal though! Won't be coming again but I thank the staff for that efforts and hard work.

    Pho Duy is a classic, definitely one of my favorite pho spots. I usually have to drive thirty minutes there but it's always worth it! You gotta get the tofu spring rolls too - it's a must I usually get the chicken pho with extra noodle, but my most recent visit I got the veggie with Tofu. The tofu was delicious and the veggies were pretty fresh. This place is always busy especially on a cold day, the staff is nice and quick.

    Amazing service and delicious pho!!! Our server (possibly the owner?) was SO friendly and attentive - all the workers were very kind and quick. Egg rolls were delicious starter to share. The PHO BROTH is sooo hearty and comforting. Super generous in their meat portions , and the flavor of the broth w/ the meats and herbs make it a hearty meal. We were visiting from SoCal (one of the top places for Viet food) and Pho Duy is one of the best pho I've had!!

    Wow, I think I've been here several years ago and I don't remember such an extensive menu! They had so many options besides just pho. I went with my classic of veggie pho. It was good and hit the spot, but I it wasn't the best veggie pho I've had. I still enjoyed it and though service and selection was great. Like most pho places off of federal, they have a small parking lot. Plenty of seats but not many booths which I would have preferred to sit instead of the table by the bathroom. Costs have really gone up, but maybe I'm missing pre-covid days when a small pho was less than $8. I would still go back and try another dish!

    big bowl of pho

    It was chilly on Friday so it seemed like a great day for pho or ramen. Got a recommendation to try this place from an acquaintance who had gone for lunch earlier in the day. The place was hopping. There's a parking lot on the side and you can kind of park behind it too? Not too hard. We were seated immediately when we got inside. The menu is fairly large, having a nice variety of pho, rice dishes, noodle dishes, and a giant page of boba flavors if that's your thing. We just stuck with water this time. For an appetizer we shared some Vietnamese spring rolls which was an order of two fairly large rolls (we each had one) and some dipping sauce (comes with peanuts, oops, mild allergy at our table - make sure to tell them if you're allergic). For dinner I ordered pho with beef and brisket. Beef was cooked fairly well, a little chewy/fatty at parts. The broth was definitely aromatic and the limes and jalapeños added great flavor. I did realize pho is not necessarily my thing, but it did taste good for what it was. Prices seemed fair as well (one price for small, one for medium, one for large). I ordered a large, and then was told by friends later "Never get the large; you'll never finish it." And of course I didn't finish it. But I did eat most of the noodles (the real reason I get these sorts of dishes). We asked for the check at the end and I didn't realize you had to go to the counter and tell them your table # to pay. Our waitress didn't tell us, but then told us about 10 minutes later. Not a big deal. They definitely seemed to want to close promptly at 9 though - at 8:30/8:45 they were kind of.....picking up dishes everywhere and seemingly shooing people a little bit. Overall dinner was very filling, ambience was a little busy/hectic. My husband's chopsticks came with a green onion wrapped around one of them so we had to get a new set.

    veggie pho in beef broth and meatball pho

    THIS PLACE IS TOP TIER!!!! not only is this the best pho I've had in Denver, but the servers are absolutely incredible. They are so attentive and friendly, and the food comes out so quick. Portions are huge. We probably come here weekly at this point! I'd give pho duy my business any any anyyyyy day and recommend anyone go!

Dan Da is one of the few places that's gotten me to branch out, and I'm glad I did. The Bún Chả Hà Nội was probably my favorite.

I often order bún at Vietnamese restaurants, and this one was good enough to return for. The large, generous portion of shrimp were grilled perfectly, and the vegetables that typically accompany this dish were fresh and delicious. They use a good quality fish sauce and they spice it up perfectly. My husband said his food was equally pleasing. We both ordered Vietnamese iced coffee, which comes as a table side service. We patiently waited for the coffee to drip into the condensed milk, then mixed it up and poured it over the tall glass of ice provided. I don't usually sweeten my morning coffee, so Vietnamese coffee feels a bit decadent, more like dessert. Delish. I'll be returning often.

The food, portions, flavors, and overall experience are absolutely outstanding. First - you cannot leave without trying the homemade ginger ale. I have no idea what magic they put into it, but it is truly out of this world. It's unique, refreshing, and easily one of the most memorable drinks I've had at a restaurant. The pho is consistently delicious - packed with incredible flavor. The sesame chicken is another standout, but honestly, the curries are where this place really shines. My friend said the lamb curry was one of the best things he has ever eaten, and I completely understand why. The curries come out piping hot and overflowing- literally. The atmosphere is just as special as the food. The inside has such a great vibe - cozy, welcoming, and full of character. They also have the cutest little patio that feels like a hidden oasis with all the greenery and homey touches. The management and staff are phenomenal. They are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your experience. They constantly check in and somehow always seem to surprise you with something extra. You can tell this place is run by people who truly love what they do. We've done both takeout and dine-in, and the quality never changes. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. They also have great vegan options, so there really is something for everyone.

Service was incredibly slow for how empty the restaurant was. After more than 30 minutes of waiting and no sign of our server, another server finally came to check on us and realized none of our order tickets made it to the kitchen. This could have easily been recognized by the original server had he even showed up to check on us during this time. I wish I could say the food was worth the wait. The pork egg rolls we got had just 1 piece of lettuce and barely pickled veggies to accompany it. I was confused that my house pho with beef short rib came with the meat on the side, which was sadly very cold and chewy. The broth itself was fine, but the chili oil pooled so much and was too greasy to be palatable. Our server did at least remove the apps from our bill as an apology for the service and I did at least find the food edible. For a $20 bowl of pho though I am still left feeling offended and full of regret that I didn't just wait it out for Noodles by Nina. We all left agreeing that the only enjoyable part of our meal was the 2010s hits playlist.

Everything in the canh cua is hella good, especially the broth. All I added was lime, veggies, and a little chili oil. Perfection! I couldn't finish the bowl since we ordered a bunch of other stuff but canh cua keeps well so even heated up the next day, the noodles and everything were intact and yummy. It does come with blood cubes but if you aren't a fan, like myself, you can ask them to take it out. They have several BBH meat options but my BF went with the King bowl which has everything in it.

Considering we ordered two of these for our 4 person table, our table was packed AF lol The BBH has a good flavor and depth, not that spicy, and if you like a lot of meat variety, this is the one for you. We also ordered spring rolls, eggrolls, banh it ram, and banh beo for the table. The banh it ram and banh beo were sooooooo freakin good. They stuff the chewy part of the banh it ram with a yummy pork filling, and the crunch on the bottom was such a good contrast to the chewiness of the mochi like top. I've had this dish a few times before but I have to say, O Lien does it best. You really have to dunk these things in the nuoc mam (sweet fish) otherwise it will taste a little plain. The banh beo were some of the best I've had. They really load these babies up with toppings, which I appreciate because some places are so stingy with the chicharrones and shrimp dust - thats the orange stuff on top. These were also a highlight for me, I love the sweet savory flavor, and the chewiness of the banh beo. This is another thing you kinda have to drown in nuoc ma for flavor and they're pretty big so kudos to you if you can one bite this. For me, I found it a little more appetizing to cut in half and scoop up with my spoon. The egg rolls were good, nothing crazy. Just a nice solid egg roll. I didn't try the spring rolls but my cousin said the sauce it came with didn't have a peanutty taste. It said it tasted more like soy sauce than anything.. so for him, he would pass. We popped in on a Sunday night at 7, and they had a whole waitlist with people waiting inside and outside. We were lucky and only had to wait about 15 minutes. They claim they close at 8 but they def had people seated past that. They're super busy and for good reason. The food is bomb! They're in a small plaza with a tiny lot, so you might catch a spot if you're lucky otherwise you'll have to find street parking, which shouldn't be too bad. The inside is fairly spacious, so they do get people moving in and our fairly quickly.

    O Lien Kitchen was packed during lunch on a Saturday. Not only was the parking lot full, but there…read morewas a bit of wait as well. Nonetheless, we added our name to the waitlist and was grateful there were only a couple of parties before us. We knew we wanted some of the Bahn Hue Plates but also didn't want too many of the same thing. The waiter offered some substitute options that worked for us. These "cakes" are still a rarity for us as they aren't found everywhere. * BH8. Sampler with substitutes $14.99 - Ours came with the 4 Loc La, 2 Nam, and 4 It Co Ram (instead of the 12 Beo and 3 It Tran). I actually think the waiter said he would sub the 12 Beo for the It Co Ram. I realize now we did not get any of the It Tran, which is a bit of a bummer. * BH1. Bahn Beo Chen $13.99 - We usually try to order this whenever we see it on the menu. * A5. Vietnamese Eggrolls Cha Gio $7.99 - Their deep-fried egg rolls were exactly how we wanted - with that extra blistery look to it. Not all Vietnamese restaurants serve it this way, so we do try to order it when we see it offered. * HS1. Sizzling Steak & Eggs $18.99 - We did ask for more bread to soak up the proteins on this dish. I'm not sure what happened because the bread took ridiculously long, and the restaurant had cleared up quite a bit by then. Most of our orders came out rather quickly, so it was weird with the long wait for the extra bread. I honestly think they forgot, and when someone finally remembered, it was put into the toaster to heat up then because it did arrive very hot versus the initial order. We had to get up and ask about it and two different waiters said it was coming out. Their house made chili oil definitely had a kick to it! Use it sparingly if it's your first go at it. We were curious about their Bun Bo Hue because there are so many options. The waiter did tell us it's their most popular dish and the pictures looked amazing. Overall, we had a good experience at O Lien Kitchen. The long wait for the bread did put a downer on the visit as it dragged on and the steak and eggs got cold as we waited. I initially wanted dessert but changed my mind since we were waiting so long. 3.5 stars
