This pho joint is across from the Capitol Building. I thought I would see more customers inside, but there was no one when I entered. That did not give me a good feeling, but later more parties showed up. I also saw people coming in and out for take-out. We were served by a middle-aged man. He handled all the bussing and was very courteous. He didn't talk much but did ask us how we were doing about halfway. The menu is pretty standard of a pho/Viet restaurant. I overheard someone ask for morning glory, but I thought that was Thai.. I tried the pho dac biet, which was pretty good. The com tam was sus to me. I got C1 heo nuong grilled pork, but it was red!?! The texture was also weird. The plate came with three slabs of pork sliced into thin strips. The dining area seems like a good size, but if you go to the back, there are even more tables. They got a lot of space. Stick to the pho here.

Food is consistently delicious, large portions, good prices, excellent service, and it's very clean. Usually a noodle bowl--it's my favorite. But because everything is tasty I've tried dishes I've never had before and always been pleased. I would come here every day if I could. read more

Came in for lunch. Fantastic pho and spring rolls. Always filling and comfort food. Great flavors to broth and spring rolls tons of flavor.

Located across from the statehouse, pho-natic, will make you a pho-fan. The two workers worked quickly to seat and serve diners. I had a beef pho and a Vietnamese iced coffee. The iced coffee was bold and flavorful, and portioned perfectly. Since Vietnamese iced coffee is so strong, I understand why the portion was substantially smaller than other drinks but I was surprised that it was priced about the same or higher than others. The regular pho bowl was a good portion -- enough to satisfy someone with moderate hunger. The beef portions within the soup were also plentiful - they did not skimp! While the broth itself was good, it wasn't my favorite (a little heavy on the fish sauce, and yet very light in color). Overall, I'd come back and would tell others to give pho-natic a chance if you're in town. It's pho-tastic! read more

Very good pho here! Walking in, I was instantly hit with the wonderful aroma of pho broth. I got the Pho dac biet, so it included all the meats! I genuinely appreciate how they offer the small size for the pho dac biet, which isn't available in a lot of pho restaurants. Pho was soooo tasty! All the meats were tender. For a small bowl, even a regular size bowl, there was a good amount of meats and noodles. My favorite part about this place is the chili sauce! It's pretty much the sauce that is in bun bo hue. Fantastic taste and perfect amount of spice. The server was nice and quick. A lot of seating. read more

What a comforting and inviting shop right across the street from the Capitol Building. Perfect place to go on a cold day. The bowl of pho warms you right up. They are very generous on the portion size. Lots of noodles, soup, and beef. They definitely did not skimp. That bowl is worth every dollar you pay for it. The broth is deep and flavorful and warms you to your soul. Service is friendly and fast as well. Keep up the good work :) read more

Pho-natic - Tofu noodle bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love this pho restaurant. Their soup is less sweet than the average, quenching my need for a savory broth. The service is good considering there are only a few people working here each shift. I always crave their food. This time, we got the bun tho hue, the spicy beef noodle soup. The noodles are thicker than the pho. The soup is good and flavorful but you don't get the different types of meat this dish usually comes with... but its a great spicy version of a nice noodle dish. I'd eat it again. Sustainability tip: They serve their boba in a glass if you're dining in! It feels much classier and stays cold longer if you have the time. If you want to be extra, being your own straw! read more

This is our second time to this restaurant and again did not disappoint. The vegetarian pho with tofu is spectacular and full of flavor. The vegetarian tofu spring rolls are fresh, delicious, and the sauce is spectacular. The service is also very attentive and friendly. A must try when in the downtown Denver area. It has a beautiful view of the capital building. We will return again. read more

Grabbed lunch at Pho-natic the other day, and honestly it was an excellent experience. Clean, cozy and cool space (the latter was important given it was a hot walk to get there and I still wanted to slurp some hot pho). Service was absolutely impeccable too. We had the spring rolls to start with, which were generously filled. The pho comes in three sizes, and I got the small which was perfect for my lunchtime appetite, and it still had plenty of meat and accoutrement. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also perfection, and I got to watch it steep tableside. Truly a great spot. I only wish it was a shorter walk from the office! read more

It's good but not the best pho or thai iced tea I've had (I've had many, so my standard is higher). The broth is tasty but isn't clear. Noodle texture was correct. Good amount of beef in the noodle soup. I wish cilantro was served on the side and not in the soup. Thai iced tea flavor is a little off, maybe more artificial? Staff is friendly, attentive, and courteous. Decor is a little outdated.. Floor has a few cracks. Probably wouldn't visit again. read more

I have had my share of pho broth...and this place is up there. Run by a mom and her son ( I think). Fantastic crispy pork rolls. Medium bowls of pho will fill you up with great flavor. Seriously it cleared up my laryngitis. Get the lemon grass into your broth. I am coming back for sure. read more

Get the spring rolls. The rolls themselves are fine, but the brown sauce is incredible. Idek what it was but I'm salivating just thinking about it. Just really tangy and savory. Pho was great too. I think I got the rare beef + brisket, but the brisket was way better. Broth was nice and substantial too. Coconut juice tasted weird at first, but you get used to it haha. Real good. And the family owners are so nice! They like seeing happy customers. read more

Pho-natic is the place to go if... ++ You're craving a flavorful broth. ++ You desire a golden fried Vietnamese spring roll. ++ You want friendly service. ++ You need to find delicious eats in the heart of downtown Denver. Pho-natic definitely surprised me. While I'm not downtown as much as I previously used to be, I'd gladly come back here if I'm in the area. read more

I don't love giving these reviews but the wonderful thing about posting reviews is everyone has their own take! I think the major thing that led me to take away 2 stars is just the food. I ordered pho and bun bo hue for take out. I was unimpressed by the pho broth. In my opinion, it tasted like not a lot of bones were used to make the broth and instead it was compensated by msg (which I have nothing against msg, but it shouldn't be the main star of the broth!). The biggest thing that disappointed me was the bun bo hue. It's always a gamble for sure finding a place that will make it, and who will make a decent bbh. Unfortunately, I was let down here. The broth tasted as if it was just their pho broth with some bbh seasoning thrown in. On top of that, the meat that was given was the pho brisket, and a couple slices of beef that are typically in bbh. There was no shredded cabbage, no hock, etc. It was just pho dressed as bbh, which is not tradition and it makes me disappointed that people who have never had bbh may be saying they don't like it just based on this! That is what ultimately led to this rating. Onto the good stuff! Their space looked nice enough and the staff member who greeted me was very kind!! It is right downtown, so I can see the appeal for wanting to pop in. Be warned though, there is not any good places to park!! No parking lot and no street parking in front either. read more

I think I just found my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Denver. This small cozy place immediately gives you good vibes upon arrival. Service was very quick and attentive and all of the food was made fresh. I ordered the grilled pork spring rolls and the combination noodle bowl, both of which I devoured. The meat was well seasoned and juicy and had a nice char from the grill. I think my favorite was the juicy pork on top of the fresh noodles. I do wish that I had a little more vegetables to balance out the meat portion but that's the only "complaint" I have if you want to call that a complaint. Parking is a bit tragic as this place is directly across from the Capitol so if you're trying to go I recommend parking a block or two away and parking. read more

Across from the capitol building this almost hidden in plain site spot has been here well over twelve years! Who knew? I was very worried that within walking distance where we're residing now that there won't be a go-to viet food for us. Worries are over ! Yay! Grilled meat in the combo plate is wonderful. But my fave meat and I've been getting it solo as on an order of rice plate is the Pork. This suites me fine or the shrimp and rice plate. The Noodle bowl combo version is also very good (dry ). I still have to try their Pho. The space is clean and the service is great. Obviously they know what they're doing ! read more

The service was good, the food is okay. I had the large combo pho. Had to add fish sauce as the broth was a little bland. It also needs anise in the broth. Portion is right but a little overpriced. This is a one and done since there are so many options in the area. read more

The server was originally really nice but once I mentioned they failed to properly accommodate an allergy, he tried to downplay the severity of it due to the fact that there wasn't that much in. I could taste the ingredient when I got to the broth and at that point I asked for a reduction. He then said he'd cover it all but to "not come back." Never seen such hostility from a place failing to respect a food allergy before. read more

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Denver, for these noodle bowls. Sometimes I switch out the noodle bowls for rice but I'm telling you this place is amazing for this combo noodle bowl! I am married to a Vietnamese man, so my standards are very high, haha. But jokes aside the pickled veggies are so crunchy and flavorful, the egg rolls are perfect crispy and filled with stuffing, the meat is so tender and there is an umami punch. Definitely seasoned. To top it off, the fish sauce here is exactly how I like it. Depth of flavor, sweet and spicy. This is a great casual spot, right outside of the Colorado Supreme Court. Consistent food quality and kind staff. Street parking. You won't be disappointed, I will always comeback here! read more

Excellent presentation of the food!! And big serving. Not sure why the meat is pink/red. Cost $19 with the "extra shrimp". Literally $3 for 3 small shrimp I was disappointed by that cost. Also the chicken tasted burnt and the fish sauce wasn't flavorful. Didn't like that bean sprouts were in the veggies but I suspect they are in there because this is a pho restaurant and not a bahn mi restaurant read more

Because of its gluten-free options, we chose Pho-natic for dinner. I wasn't expecting anything exciting, but wow, it was the best pho I have ever had! I no longer recall exactly what I had -- probably pho with beef or chicken -- but it was delicious, filling, and cheap. The service was also excellent. A small pho is $13, medium is $14, and a large is $15. I had a medium pho, and I struggled to finish it -- a small would have sufficed. Our total bill for two, including tip, came to $31.72. Pho-natic was definitely a highlight of our short and unexpected trip to Denver, and if I am ever in Denver again, I know where I am going for dinner. [Yelp collections: Denver, CO 2021] read more

This place hit the spot!! Service was really good, everyone was so nice and friendly. The portions were huge for me where I felt bad I couldn't finish the bowl of pho. Lots of meat and noodles in a big bowl! I think I ordered a smaller size, too. I tried to drink as much of the broth so I didn't waste the hard work of the chefs for making this bowl of the pho. It was probably the best pho I had in Colorado! The prices were appropriate forsure the quality and the portions! Parking was a little tricky, we had to find some street parking by the meters, but it wasn't too bad. We also went during the weekday at non-peak hours so it was pretty smooth sailing to get in and out of the restaurant. read more

We decided to make this place my daughters Sixth birthday celebration. I hear she went there often and loved Pho. I am still on my tourism journey through downtown and don't mind checking it out. When the food came out everything looked really authentic, definitely my type of spot. I went with the combination meats with noodles. The pork, beef and chicken all tasted great and the noodles were just right. I hate soggy noodles. Altogether a great spot, awesome service and tasty food. Highly recommended. read more

Pho-natic - Combination of meats with noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I got the combination plate. Seemed to be missing one of the items and was more like an appetizer for portions. Food was tasty, but I don't think you should leave hungry due to teaser portions, complete serving or not. Very pleasant, quiet, relaxed atmosphere which is a huge plus to me, and the food was very tasty. The proprietor has an interesting story. I personally know people with similar experience over leaving Vietnam, and was glad to hear that they got out despite the tremendous perils of doing so. It's nice to live in a country that can welcome such people. I'll give it another shot for the pho before the end of the week. read more

Excellent food, but the ambiance didn't quite line up. A great spot for a quick bite.

They have a great lunch time crowd, but closed to new orders 25 or 30 minutes before posted closing time for dinner when I tried to go the evening before. Nem nuong cuon filling off pretty decent but the wrappers were just a bit tough, and likewise for the pho, just a bit too far off (particularly unimpressed by the noodles) to warrant a higher rating. read more
