Buena Pho is the best!!! It's my go-to restaurant in BV and my favorite spot to eat in town. It's a family-owned operation, and it's authentic Vietnamese food -- right in the middle of a pizzeria, in the middle of a small CO mountain town, no less! All the food is top-notch, the service is great and the staff are very friendly.
Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines and this is the best I've had in CO. The pho -- both the meat and vegan option -- is amazing, with hot, delicious, flavorful and savory broth and served with fresh lime, basil, scallions, jalapeños, red onion, rice noodles and bean sprouts (I recommend topping with hoisin sauce and sriracha). The thinly sliced meat in the soup is cooked to perfection, and the portions are generous.
The crispy fried egg rolls are also delectable and taste fresh -- filled with pork and shrimp, served with savory fish sauce and on a bed of lettuce with pickled carrots and daikon.
The vermicelli noodle bowl (Bún thịt nướng)
is yummy and feels light, healthy, and like a good warm-weather meal, with a rice vineagary flavor, pickled carrots, pickled daikon, cucumber, cilantro, fish sauce, grilled pork, crispy spring rolls, and lettuce.
For lunch at buena pho, my go-to is always the bánh mì -- served on the BEST crispy baguette rolls, filled with pork grilled perfectly, creamy mayo made in-house, rice vinegar, jalapeños, pickled carrot, pickled daikon, cucumber, and cilantro. Best banh mi on this side of the Mississippi!
Also the owner of the restaurant is really hot.
If I could give more than 5 stars for this stellar establishment I would! read more
