I've been to Dan Da before, and this visit reminded me why I needed to come back sooner…read more Most of the time when I go out for Vietnamese food, I end up ordering pho or bánh mì without thinking twice. 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. Putting everything together yourself made every bite a little different, and the pork was so flavorful. I also really enjoyed the coconut curry claypot with shrimp. It was rich and comforting without feeling too heavy. The shaken beef was cooked well, and the shrimp and crab mini rolls disappeared pretty quickly. I like that the menu has dishes you don't see everywhere. It makes coming here feel a little different from your average Vietnamese restaurant. Already looking forward to trying something new the next time I'm back.

The Vietnamese egg rolls are so delicious, they're my favorite and I love the soft shell crab and the noodle dishes. I plan to make it a point to come here on purpose and have an actual entree because I know they have to be just as delicious and authentic as everything else I've tasted here. The vibe is nice as well, it's so pretty and cozy on the inside. P.S. - they own the bakery next door as well and the pastries are so tasty!!

While in Speer with a colleague today, I decided to indulge my ongoing fondness for authentic Pho,…read moreand we happened upon I Love Pho a delightfully vibrant venue positioned right on the corner that immediately captures one's attention! The establishment possesses an utterly enchanting, old-fashioned charm, tastefully adorned with vintage bicycles that lend the space a uniquely energetic and nostalgic flair. Both the exterior presentation and the interior arrangement are wonderfully distinct, impeccably clean, and exceptionally well-maintained. The service was top-tier from the moment we crossed the threshold gracious, efficient, and extraordinarily welcoming. To begin my Friday luncheon, I ordered a glass of chilled Thai Tea, which was mixed to sheer perfection, delightfully smooth, and perfectly refreshing. For my main course, I selected my absolute favorite, the classic Beef Pho. It is abundantly clear that the kitchen treats their broth as a true art form it was an absolute culinary triumph! Piping hot, rich with deep, exquisite aromatics, and executed with profound skill. I was also deeply impressed by the impressive speed with which our entire order arrived. Between the spotless, eccentric aesthetic, swift hospitality, and divine, comforting cuisine, I Love Pho earns absolute full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous spot I shall most certainly be returning

They have a happy hour but the HH menu is very limited for food and the drinks we don't partake. Cute atmosphere, the bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I've seen for a baby changing station I've seen in a while so thank you for that. Plus they had disco balls in the ceiling!

The teams names are listed on the front of the menu which is also a nice touch. Glad the ownership cares about their employees. Price is cheaper than what it should be.

It's Vietnamese fusion cuisine where every dish reimagines staple southeast Asian dishes in such a savory manner. My top 5 rated restaurant in Beli.

Extraordinary Vietnamese food is being served up at this charming downtown spot. We went for lunch…read moreand were warmly greeted by a man who seemed to be doing it all; seating folks, waiting on us all and bringing food out of the kitchen, all with a leadership attitude and command of the menu that told us he was in charge. I chose the grilled shrimp vermicelli noodles (bún) and indulged myself with the addition of a pork egg roll on top, and my husband opted for the chicken wings and a fresh roll with pork. 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.

A true hidden gem - do not miss this place!…read more This Vietnamese restaurant is one of those spots you hope stays a local secret forever, but it's just too good not to share. 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. They are connected with the same ownership/management as Golden Bánh Mì next door, which is also incredible - clearly there is a passion for creating amazing food and experiences.

Good option for Vietnamese & pho and a trendy spot…read more The drink menus are a mess. After looking at two I still didn't know how much hot sake was or the sizes offered and if they had other kinds -- absolutely no transparency on price when it's not on a menu anywhere. They have Lucky Buddha bottles all over the place but no idea how much those were, either. Mixers? I see bottles but no prices cause nothin is listed in any drink menus. So weird. The pho is very good and other meals have always been. I think it's on the pricier side here for everything. It gets so expensive to go out when a modest meal/drink set ya back $50. It's just pho! And a basic adult drink like super cheap house sake or tap beer. But anywho, this is our world now. Just going out less & less than I used to! They don't have any deals like happy hour. Multiple people asked when I was there so I hope they offer one someday. The sides for pho are pretty skimpy but there was no hesitation when I asked for more lime & basil. Service was and has always been really good!

If there's one place in Denver, I'd recommend eating at, it's this one. The food is authentic,…read moreservice prompt, portions large, and the taste - DELICIOUS. I love that their menu has your run of the mill options but they have a specials page with harder to find Vietnamese options, like banh xeo or banh canh cua. They do NOT have banh cuon though, just fyi. I read other reviews saying the banh canh cua and bun bo hue are really good here, and lemme tell you. The yelpers did not disappoint! 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. We didn't realize that it comes with a giant beef bone on the side. 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.

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

I'm surprised to find that this place is open until around 3am, which is a rare find when it comes to Colorado restaurants. It was very busy for it being midnight.

We were seated within a few minutes, and staff were mindful to take our orders in a timely manner despite it being busy. Ordered the oxtail pho. The food is on the pricey side but for the portions and the fact they open so late, not a bad option! Tasted good. Wish the oxtail fell apart a bit more though. Also got their Vietnamese coffee. Pretty standard, although mine was a bit more bitter than to my liking. This place definitely gives Asian diner vibes. Will come back again when I want a late night spot in Denver!
