This place super legit. Just got the banh mi but it was totally on point. Want bread, everything fresh, and a delicious taste of lemongrass. The ambience is just OK but I think the food here is spectacular and I can't wait to come back. read more

Boulder Pho - Chicken banh mi. $8.95 bargain! - Vietnamese Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Very Special place! A small outdoor corner mall-ish with lots of other eateries, yet Boulder Pho had a particular inviting ambiance; brightly lit, full walled glass entrance - it beckons - I walked in for some take out. Lovely place, service was prompt and unassuming -"take your time!" "You have a massive menu, another smile met my eyes, "take your time!" Glancing around the restaurant was a delight, one I will revisit. Taking my Pho to my car in amazement how much food I was carrying for one order! Did not expect the extra meat, and my Service dog enjoy every morsel of the unexpected. Then the BROTH!! WOW.. full body, delicious and soothing. Tossing the mung bean sprouts into the broth, some herbs from the huge bowl of veggies galore, this was three meals, plus the extra meat which was unexpected; my dog was in heaven. There are many places to eat on this corner lot, very inviting, yet it was the Boulder Pho and its lighting, clear glass and amenable presentation beckoned; we will revisit and highly recommend anyone taking a short walk inside with delight! read more

Food was just ok. Not a clean place for my liking. Service was fine. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

Great food and flavor. Portion were great and recommended for any person looking for PHO

Came from SoCal and it was at the point in the trip where it's Viet food or it's over. We found this pho place and it looked pretty trustworthy compared to other places I found. I got the Small Rare Steak and Tripe Pho. The portions were perfect and enough to get me full. The meat was tender and the trip wasn't crazily chewy. I wish there was more trip in it though! The broth was a bit light in flavor and a bit oily, but not something that ruins the taste of the meal. I'd definitely vouch for this place if anyone was craving pho and didn't know which one was tasty. read more

Banging pho and spring rolls. Large pho gets the job done every time. Highly recommend. Always a pleasure to be back.

We were looking for a place to eat dinner on Christmas Eve after attending the candlelight service at City Church Boulder (legit church, btw) and chose this spot based on the Google reviews my junior high daughter found online. And...WOW am I glad she found this place! Phenomenal Vietnamese cuisine! Fresh, authentic and a great variety on the menu. Our family has traveled in Vietnam for over a decade so we're pretty picky when it comes to Vietnamese food. Boulder Pho definitely checks all the boxes as the real deal. We had a variety of appetizers and entrees. All of which we scarfed down so fast that we didn't get pictures of. Here's the rundown: Appetizers: Vietnamese Spring Rolls - fresh & delicious! Pork Dumplings - fried PERFECTLY & so tasty. Pork was seasoned so well & the dumpling was crisp. Entrees: Grilled Pork & Vermicelli Noodles - I felt like I was eating a bowl of Bun Cha on the streets of Hanoi. Simply Phenomenal. Beef Pho - Hot, delicious & mouthwatering. Deep Fried Noodle w/ Chicken - A sleeper on the menu but everyone in the family loved it! On top of the amazing food, the service was top notch. Friendly & attentive. They even gave my daughter a free Ramun soda as we were leaving, wishing her a Merry Christmas. Great food. Friendly service. Good prices. read more

Good Pho, but we paid extra for the Kobe beef and it wasn't more tender than the regular beef. The pho broth was decent. The women's bathroom had no toilet paper and I let the woman at the register know and it was not replaced. The Vietnamese egg rolls were good, but they served them with a sweet sauce rather than a sweet fish sauce. The bathroom could have been cleaner and I would have loved toilet paper rather than a paper towel- esp. on my way out. read more

Service is slow, and server doesn't listen well. Server is doing his job half heartedly. ‍Always in a rush and forgetting things. Pho broth is cold that it didn't even cooked the meat. Boba is too bland. They are too used to serving students who don't mind how they are served and taste of the food that's why they don't put their attention to it. read more

Vermicelli bowl is 10/10. Everything is right in the bowl from vermicelli to pork, beef and spring rolls (especially their spring rolls, you should other extra for your bowl). Their fish sauce is perfectly made. Pho is good but it didn't blow me away. The meat is good, but the broth and noodles are standard. It's enough to satisfy your craving though. This high quality is rare even in big Vietnamese hub such as Orange County, CA or Houston, TX. Boulder doesn't have that many Asian restaurants to begin with, I didn't expect the food to be this good here. read more

During our visit to Boulder, we stopped by to try the local pho. The space was large with ample seating indoors. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. We ordered the large combination pho with an extra order of Kobe beef. Proportions were generous and the ingredients were very fresh! The broth was delicious, and it warmed the soul. For dessert, we got Lavender and Honey Dew boba drinks. The tapioca was perfectly chewy and the drink was very tasty. This meal hit the spot, especially on a cold winter night in Colorado. read more

Their Vietnamese spring rolls with the peanut sauce is a def to order when you go there. It's exactly the way it's made and what I like it the lightness of this appetizer. The light spring roll with the flavor bomb peanut sauce just goes so well together. They should sell that peanut sauce lol ;) I got the combination pho which is Steak, brisket, tendon, tripe and meatball. You have to order a medium or large bowl if you choose this and my husband got the Steak and Brisket. I'll be honest the tendon felt pretty uncooked and hard and stiff so I took it out. I think the best option is the rare (p.s the meat is so thin that it cooks in the hot water) Steak and Brisket. Overall good experience read more

Forgot to take a photo of my large pho but it's super large and will definitely fill you up! The prices are decent and fair but their vegetable pho was not that great and I've had better pho in the past. Also their service here is super slow and the waiter was not good at checkin on u and we only saw them one and never again. Their boba is good and fair price for he size, would come back for the boba but not the pho. read more

We used to love coming here for a nice bowl of pho, until tonight! unfortunately we saw a pretty big cockroach walking up the wall next to us, about to get on our table. This place isn't cheap. I hope they fix this problem. We mentioned it to the server and all she said "we are sorry" end of conversation. Yikes. read more

The food was really good. However, I ordered the grilled shrimp noodle bowl and to my surprise a portion of the shell was left on the shrimp I could have choked on the shell and brought it to the waitress attention who didn't speak a word of English! As I went to pay my bill, I mentioned it to the gentleman that was helping me at the cash register and said he was the owner and he didn't seem to be bothered. With the fact there was the tail ends still on my shrimp!! Will not be coming back to this location. read more

Just picked up a to-go order at this place and wanted to say how amazing and kind the service always is, regardless of in person or to go. He made sure that I had extra hoisin sauce and chopsticks to ensure that my meal was completed!!! read more

So much to say about Boulder Pho! When I first came here I wasn't sure what to expect. Was the broth going to be good? Would there be enough meat in my pho? Would the service be good? Needless to say they smashed it out of the park. They checked all of the boxes and more. I always choose Boulder Pho on those colder days when I need a hearty well well-cooked meal and a great atmosphere. It always brings me such comfort. I love Boulder Pho, and you will too. read more

My mom was craving pho after being sick for a while. Boys and I decided to take her out and try this place. When we arrived, the place was full. They were able to clear up a table for us. Everyone had pho even though their menu had more dishes aside from pho. It must've been a pho night for everyone. Lol I had the rare steak and beef balls pho. The pho was steaming hot, broth was good, and the noodles yummy. Perfectly delicious. This place is generous with their quantity. It is worth what you're paying for. The service was good and the wait was reasonable. It was a good first time experience here. I most definitely will be coming back here. read more

I'm a huge pho person and I've failed to find any quality pho places in Boulder. After trying this place it's safe to say, it's the best pho in Boulder! Flavorful broth! Big portions. Kind staff. I will only be ordering from here! read more

I love hole in the wall pho places - and I never expect more from the decor or lighting or even the service. I've had some amazing pho in dingy environments. However, this looks like a place where the management and staff has kinda let it go. Worst part of the meal was when the servers sprayed the table next to ours with an extremely strong chemical smelling cleaner spray, which was very close to our food and from then on the veggies tasted like chemical cleaner, which caused me to feel ill and stop eating. Overall I felt like that was the type of lack of attention to detail that permeated this business. read more

The food was amazing. The customer service was great. He was very patient and open to answering any questions when I had trouble ordering because there were so many good options. I got the fur with beef cooked on the side. It was all delicious. The noodles were buttery. The broth was great. And I got a Boba that was absolutely delicious and he even put some for my son to have on the side in a kid cup. Very thoughtful. Service was excellent. I didn't like the statue when we walked in but other than that everything was wonderful. I sat outside and ate lunch with my one year old. read more

Was in the neighborhood and was craving some pho so swing by here on a whim. Pho broth was good and flavorful on its own. Tried the sugarcane drink and it wasn't worth it. Fresh sugarcane tastes and is colored different. This is all coming from a person who grew up eating in little Saigon in CA and is Vietnamese so I am super picky when I'm looking for some comfort food out of state. One thing I'd have to complain about was when we came in, they had just lit a bunch of incense and it was quite overpowering in the restaurant while trying to enjoy our meal. read more

Really fast service. Food is really good and big portions for a good price. We had the pan fried egg noodles that were crispy but not enough sauce. read more

Food is so amazing. And their boba. Best food ever. Great variety. Service is great too

I was super excited to try this restaurant because it's so popular. However the first time experience wasn't what I expected. I will try them again in hopes this was a one off, but on this visit... The flavors of their pho broth are savory; however the broth was room temperature warm not hot and the meat in the pho was very tough to chew so several pieces were left in the bowl. I ordered the steamed gyoza to start and the dumplings were dry and cracking as if they had been sitting out for a while. Hopefully a second visit will be a better experience because this is one of the only authentic Pho places in Boulder. read more

Had take out and while my med pho was okay the bean sprouts were old and wilted and they skimped on the basil. Noodles were generous and broth was okay, but not great. Wish it had been a better experience but we may return to dine-in to see if that would improve our overall dining rating. read more

Whoa! Boulder Pho is legit some of the best pho I've had. Why? Let's discuss: PROs: ++ The location! Located on 28th and Valmont Boulder Pho is easy to find and, given that it's located in a strip mall, has a large shared parking lot. ++ The price! Prices are on point! For two rare steak pho (one medium and one small, spring rolls, crab cheese wontons, and a pork banh mi our bill was a mere $58! ++ The portions! Portions are large. Given the spread of food we ordered, we def had plenty of leftovers. ++ The space! It's large and modern. There's bench seating along the walls and tons of tables in varying sizes, so any group will be easily accommodated here. ++ The variety! There's a ton of offering on the menu here at Boulder Pho. I'm a sucker for rare steak pho and crab cheese wontons. My guest opted for the rare steak pho as well, but wanted to give the spring rolls a try. All of those items were completely delicious! We also ordered a banh mi to split, but I ended up taking most of that home. I wasn't terribly impressed with the banh mi. More about that later. ++ The broth! This broth is so damn flavorful. Any pho-lover knows that the broth is where it's at with pho. Boulder Pho def has that broth dialed in. ++ The beer! I love having a cold Sapporo with my pho on occasion. When they were out of my first selection, I was excited that they had my ol' faithful available. Cheers! CONs: -- The banh mi was not what I was hoping for. Most banh mi sandwiches that I have had featured a large portion of cilantro and various pickled veggies. While Boulder Pho's bahn mi had those things, it wasn't loaded. It also tasted a bit like it was pre-made prior to my order. -- I was excited to try a particular bottled import beer, only to find out that they didn't have it. Why not take the display bottle off the wall then? Just take it down and put it back up when you are able to get it back. While there were a couple misses, Boulder Pho was sooo delicious, I'm more than willing to overlook these shortcomings. I'll def be back! read more

Pho was honestly really weak, even compared to other pho places it was just bad. There was a distinct chemical smell as well, and I'm almost certain it's the generic disinfectant from restaurant depot. The wontons were actually good apart from the fact our server forgot to give us the dipping sauce for a good five minutes. I ordered the tendon and brisket pho, tendon was extremely tender however it seems like it was stored next to or with tripe as it tasted strongly of bile. Not to mention they don't tell you only get 1 slice of tendon per pho which was extremely disappointing. Beef was actually tender and soaked up the flavors of the broth wonderfully. Rice noodles were overcooked to the point of being mushy. Vegetables were a plus though they are very generous with their portions. My main thing other than the disinfectant taste being in the food was our server kept forgetting about us, and constantly was asking us what we ordered, which lead to a lot of delays in us getting our food. I get it I was a new server once however this guy was borderline unprofessional, it was a huge turn off from ever visiting this place again as it seemed like he could give less of a care about his tables. On top of insult to injury they over charged us for our receipt claiming we ordered beer, keep in mind the person I went with and I are under the legal drinking age, so the fact that was an issue is a major red flag. I seriously wanted to like this place as I heard it was a good pho place in Boulder. read more

Low quality food and very inadequate service. Would not recommend it to anyone. I can't give it better review.

My motto. Snow = Need Pho When its frigid outside I have to warm the bones with broth. Enter Boulder Pho. First I was excited that they were offering dine-in, which is hard to find these days in Boulder. Second, excited to see they had a wide variety menu. The Pho is what earns this little place the 4 stars. It was truly excellent with a deep flavor that you can definitely end up craving. I recommend you stay on the Pho menu. We veered off and ordered the sesame wings and fried rice and they were just average. The wings were actually so sticky that your fingers remained sticky even on the drive home. ha! Stick to Pho and this place will become a favorite. COVID Era Tip: They had what looked to be a well oiled take out process happening. There were steady streams of takeout for our entire visit and it looked to be a quick and effortless process. read more

Was interested in my first Colorado Vietnamese experience. This place is pretty authentic. We walked in and were seated right away. Our server spoke English well and was quick to take our order. I got summer rolls to start and the chicken pho (small) and my friends got the pan fried noodles that come with stir fry. They wanted just shrimp and not all the seafood and he was able to do that. Our food came out quickly but I realized that I didn't get the typical plate of bean sprouts, mint, limes, etc. He didn't come to check on us so I had to wave my hand at him. After the food was set - we didn't have much of service. We got the check but plates never got cleared up. Once you get the check - you take it up to the counter and pay. All and all, service is lack luster but food is good. The small bowl of pho was plenty so beware of getting the large bowl! read more

+ Coconut water + Egg Rolls Noodle Bowl (Bun Cha Gio) + Wonton soup I'm so glad I found this place! The egg roll noodle bowl was exactly what I wanted. Soft vermicelli noodles, fresh veggies and fried egg rolls with a side of nuoc man cham sauce. My only complaint is that the rolls were not as crunchy a bit doughy on the inside but it's very likely these rolls just don't travel well. Truth be told this meal did travel 30 minutes or more to get to me. Can't complain no haha I nearly finished this meal. But it was just so much food :) Wonton soup Imagine pho + wontons. The broth here was very rich and had a homemade feel to it. This soup arrived with all the traditional fixings: chili, cilantro, sprouts, fresh limes etc. Can't wait to dine here in person! read more
