My combination noodle dish was great. My wife's Pho was weird. They basically had a broth that had almost no beef flavor whatsoever, and then tried to cover up it's watered down taste by putting some Hoisin in it prior to serving. Not good Pho broth, but the meat is prepared perfectly, noodles were perfect, the noodle dishes are better than the Pho. Hopefully they step it up on the broth, I'll be back to check it out again in a few months or so. read more

It's a great place to go to the movies excellent seats the seats are very comfortable there reclining seats

The Pho actually was better than I thought it would be! I like it way better then Black Pepper pho because the broth to noodle ratio was even. Broth was good...had to doctor it up though with some Sriracha and a fuck ton of limes to give it more flavor. After I did that though it was really good. fresh veggies and shrimp... but they only gave me 4 little shrimps for $2 extra which was a total scam. For the cheap prices you can't expect it to be perfect. Overall I will come back to this place for sure when I need some pho read more

The newest Vietnamese option in Boulder, Boulder Pho has good quality Pho, pork dishes and Banh Mi. I consider the food to be on par with Vina, and prices are comparable. The atmosphere is brighter, newer and less dank than the somewhat-cave-like Vina. read more

My family and I love to try new pho places and this spot is definitely one of our favorites! The staff is very accommodating and easy-going, making every experience enjoyable. If you're a garlic-lover, you have to try their garlic edamame because it is delicious! The service has been super fast every time I've been, so it is a great place to get a quick pho fix. read more

I stopped here for lunch on the way to Denver from Estes Park. I ate the Vietnamese Chicken Salad and cleared my whole plate even though it was a sizeable portion. Very tasty although maybe a tiny bit too sweet. My husband had the seafood pho and could barely put a dent in it due to its enormity. The broth was delicious and clean. Nice atmosphere. read more

Legit Vietnamese food in Boulder! Had the spicy beef pho, veggie rolls and iced coffee. Everything was amazing.

I am certainly no expert on pho so I won't comment on it overall (it's delicious, though!), but I am a pro at finding gluten free food. There are a ton of options here that are safe to eat, which is exciting! One of my favorites is the shrimp and pork rice noodle soup. You also get a ton - they're very generous with the amount you get for the price. read more

Glad to see Boulder is adding Vietnamese joints to its repertoire! My hubs and I stopped in for a late lunch after a great hike. We both got rice plates; mine was with grilled shrimp, his was with chicken. We each got some spring rolls along with our entrees too. The food was good and well-made. I have to say I'm used to the joints on Federal in Denver, where portions are big, and prices are about the same as here. Definitely expect to get less food for what you normally get at any Vietnamese restaurant. I think I only got like 5 shrimp! Still though, good food and I'd return if I was in the area and looking for something to eat! Oh, and the restaurant itself is actually really nice. I mean really nice as in, perhaps you could take a date here if you're looking for that sort of thing. ;) read more

This place just opened. For a restaurant that has the word "pho" in it, I had higher expectations of their pho. Initially, when first served, I thought it would have been a winner. It had a nice fragrance to it, but the broth itself was bland. And where's the cilantro? I may or may not give this place another shot. read more

I consider myself a pho snob. I've been all over the nation and world, and I make a note to try as many different phos as possible. ;). Anyway, Colorado just so happens to be one of the best places to have pho, arguably better than California. The problem is that all the best pho is known to be in Denver, on Federal street. Anything outside that typically is terrible. Well, I'm pleased to report that this place raises the bar outside denver. I wouldn't call it the best pho, but it certainly is good. The broth is a little lighter and not as rich as I would personally like, kinda bland, but inconsistently so. It doesn't try to compensate for that with loads of MSG like many pho locations do. It felt clean. The noodles, at least when I went, were a little overcooked. I have a particular preference for bouncy-chewy noodles, so if that's not you, you'll have no problem. It wasn't soggy is what I'm saying. The meat was typical pho. Which generally means low quality, but the broth generally makes up for that. Amount was great. Perfect. Plenty without making you feel like a glutton. Many places with less competition really cut back on ingredients to make more money. They typically charge more and offer less quantity when they aren't next to the other 5 pho places. As I live and work down the street, I may end up being one of their most frequent customers. Very happy that they replaced the thai place which wasn't so good. read more

Welcoming hip atmosphere and very friendly staff! Our pho was pretty great, but they had to remake my bubble tea after the first go was not very drinkable (the tapioca balls were rock hard). No worries there, the overall experience was good enough this will probably be our go to spot for Boulder pho. read more

A solid dining experience. I wouldn't call Boulder the epicenter of ethnic dining exactly but Boulder Pho is a nice little spot to visit when I'm craving Vietnamese food. I really like their pho and their appetizers- especially the egg and shrimp rolls. The dishes are consistently very fresh tasting and flavorful, I've been here about 5-6 times in the last few months. I feel that the food is very good and recommendable to friends and family, but I took off one star because the service is not the best. I am not the pickiest person with service but unfortunately there is a lot to be desired with service- it is challenging to get the staff to come ask for your order, bring utensils if needed, or bring the check. The staff are challenging to flag down as they seem very busy with the takeout side of operations and not so much with the dining aspect. I would say this is a minor annoyance of dining here- but the food itself is excellent and worth giving a shot. read more

Our go to Pho spot. Great prices and large portions. Plenty of meat in each bowl, very consistent.

Ordered the rare steak and brisket pho through UberEats. Boulder Pho made the food quickly and delivered it in a little pho kit with all of the sides you'd get the the restaurant. The broth is delicious and the rare steak is tender. Highly recommend! read more

Shared the Vegetarian Pho and some traditional spring rolls. Spring rolls were so filling we should not of gotten extra noodles! The vegetables were ok but the huge strips of onion were not so great. Lack of good veggies but overall a delicious and affordable meal read more

I give this place a 5 . They got pretty good pho, nice and relaxing atmosphere and excellent customer service. Waiter is always nice and polite. Didn't even wait 10 minutes until food arrived. I've been to many Pho places and it's very hard to find a good one. This one is definitely a good one! Will be back soon! read more

Warning: I'm a pho snob. This is definitely the best pho I've had in Boulder, but ultimately, that's not saying a whole lot since there is very little competition. But alas, if you're getting sniffly and need a bowl of pho, this is a good option. My favorite pho is in Aurora, CO (Pho 888) - more flavorful broth at a lower price point. Boulder Pho broth is sweeter than I like - which could be appealing to people who aren't as big into the savory, spicy broths. Service is attentive but not personal, which is fine by me. Check it out for those cold nights you can't trek to Denver. read more

This place was not horrible. Service was slow. The food was underwhelming but not horrible. The broth of the pho lacked flavor it seemed under developed. The spring rolls were pre-made and not that good. I won't be coming back. Better places in town for pho. read more

Wow! This place was a quick find for a fast bite to eat and was 5 stars across the board. Fast and friendly service, Thai and Green Tea was perfect, Spring Rolls were best we ever had and the Pho was full of meats vs broth and noodles. Best part was the bill was very inexpensive making this the best part of our most recent trip to Boulder, CO. We will be back, check it out as it is worth the trip and more!! Excellent read more

Food was excellent with just the right amount of spice and the waitstaff was very helpful and attentive

Excellent Pho with lots of the good stuff in them. House chicken wings with butter and cinnamon were a great change from the standard wing. My wife raves the spring rolls were the best she had. read more

Boy did the reviews lead me wrong on this place. Over cooked noodles, tasteless broth, and tendon that is chewyer than an old leather boot. Even my 12 year old son said the broth was bland. The seating was nice and the waitor was nice enough but to call this a Pho place is not accurate. I had to go to Golden Bowl in Broomfield the next day to cure my pho cravings. The chicken wings were covered in cinnamon, wtf. read more

We started going to Boulder Pho just after it opened, and we haven't been disappointed yet. Their Bun Bo Hue is my favorite thing on the menu, and they do a great job with its flavors and generous portions. Their imperial rolls aren't the best around, but they are good enough to suffice, and the pho has a great broth. Their service is a little slow, but that seems to be a trend at most pho restaurants in Boulder. Definitely my favorite pho in Boulder. read more

We were there on Sunday night May 8. So regret that we went in and order food. Food was too sweet, the worst part was the service. Two server serve us, the bigger guy was nice the other one smaller guy was so mean, and unhappy all the time, my boyfriend went to pay I told him tip 15% is okay service was not good. Usually we always tip 20% or more. And later my boyfriend told me he tip him only 3$ ( tap was around $40) because the mean server throw the pen at him when he ask him to sign!!!!!!!!! I was so mad i said if I were you I will say thank you for the "nice" service and throwing pen at me. And tip $0 or 1 penny. Never going back. Don't wast your time either. read more

Ahhhhhmazing selection, service and quality of food. Huge portions!!! Traditional egg rolls were crunchy and hot and yummy. My guests both got pho and couldn't finish the medium portion. I got lemon grass stir fry bowl. HUGE. Fantastic flavor. I highly recommend. read more

You don't go to a Sushi restaurant thinking you are going to get the best JP Ramen noodle bowl you've ever had, much less the choices: They make money selling Sushi, not Ramen. Likewise, this is a Pho restaurant whose speciality is to serve this delicacy of Vietnamese "rice" noodle soup, in which they seem to have no clue how to prepare, much less to serve it right. I can't speak for all other dishes they serve in which other reviewers might have rather written a fair review about them, but it is clear to me that if they can't even serve Pho right (i.e., palatable), you can probably order a better Vietnamese food even at a Chinese restaurant. There are different ways to prepare Pho, but as with preparing other Asian cuisine of soup-based noodle, it all comes down to the key ingredient, the stock, by slow-cooking the bone to prepare the stock. * [1] Broth is water simmered with meat, vegetables, aromatics, and sometimes bones. It's cooked for only a short time--about two hours. * [2] Stock is water simmered with bones, vegetables, and aromatics. It's cooked for a medium amount of time--usually four to six hours. * [3] Bone broth is made from bones, with or without meat. It's cooked for a very long time--around eight hours for chicken, and 24 hours or even more for beef. There are, of course, different types of meat: Chicken/Duck, Pork, Beef, etc., but with the beef, you would, for instance, use a mix of oxtail, shank bone, and neck bone: That is one way to make the Pho stock. They would also add other ingredients such as the onions, ginger, and herb-based ingredients to bring out the distinctive flavor. To add the light-brownish color with added flavor in the stock, they would also roast the onion by caramelizing it while blanching the bone, but everything else is just a matter of garnishing it to one's preference at the end before serving it. To serve it the American way, they could, therefore, put less of garnishing ingredients such as green onions, onions, black peppers, and cilantro, which are typically being mixed into the broth, by leaving such choices to the customers to decide how much more they want to add on their own. Although there is a reason why they pour the broth over those before serving it, this is kind of review I'd rather hear from others, in which to me, it is rather fair, reasonable and thus, acceptable. THANKS FOR READING SO FAR, BUT THE REAL REVIEW STARTS NOW: * Broth: It tastes like water even after adding 4 slices of jalapeño; 2 quarter-cut slices of limes; the Thai-basil. It is not about my preference in taste. I am simply saying this isn't the [2] stock nor the [3] bone-broth. The broth tastes like $1 Instant ramen noodle soup. This tastes worse than the one being served at Black Pepper Pho, which is known for serving this tasteless broth. They don't make their own noodle nor do they make the broth the right way. If so, they might as well serve an instant noodle instead. * Rice Noodle: They undercooked it to the point that it was not even chewable, but this happens a lot in cheap Pho restaurant. I can't go into details here but to simply put, it is probably not 100% rice noodle. The worst part is that they probably don't even know that it is not 100% rice noodle. When you buy a rice noodle, it might say rice noodle in English but it gets labeled differently in Chinese or other language. [***Wiki that***]. For this, I would say it is okay for as long as they correct it the second time, in which by the way, they did though I ended up not eating it because the soup was still tasteless, but as an avid Pho eater, I look at it this way. It is totally understandable for as long as they take care a good care of their customer after the fact, especially during a busy dining hours like a dinner time. When I went in there, it was very slow in meaning that they had nothing but time serve it right given that they just recently opened the restaurant. For that, such a mistake was not acceptable for me. The food was ready on my table in less than two minutes after we ordered it, so that tells you somethings. * There was no black pepper, onions, nor green onions, but just bits of cilantro. It was very odd. Sometimes I hear some people complaining about having it too much (or occasionally too little) while eating at other restaurant, which is why I provided the above-suggestion that sometimes there is a room to serve it the American way, especially for those who are not Asian-American. I am not complaining about having it too much or too little, in which again, it is just a matter of one's preference but rather, it was very odd to not have any except bits of cilantro sprinkled on the undercooked noodle in this water-down broth. read more
