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.

My vietnamese blood cannot be picky about thìs place. We live 10 min from Asia central in federal and food here hands down beat most of our favorites. We ordered 1) clay pot fish (bone in). Huge portion. Worth it. And the flavor is authentic. 2) shaken beef. Tender. 3) to go salad combo. Even good the next day 4) bun Bo vermicelli. My hub said the best in Denver he had and he had a few 5) lotus wonton. My picky toddler liked it. 6) lemonade lychee.

The brisket was a tad bit dry, particularly because I opted for siracha aioli on the side. The fries were really good and I dipped those in the aioli. My husband ordered the noodle bowl with beef. The beef in this dish was excellent. I wasn't quite sure if the sauce was for the dish or the egg roll. This was a solid entree. The star by far was the pho, which my teen ordered. Wow, that was delicious! We all thought it was a stand out that we will remember this place for in future years. This alone pushes my review to 5.

We were the first ones in so we were lucky perhaps. Waiter recommended 3-4 dishes per person. We got 5 and it was plenty. Everything was unique, flavorful, delicious, nothing felt heavy and over the top. Quite impressed with this place and would try other dishes for sure if I was ever in the area. 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! I would recommend about all that I've tried, the pig ears and the egg, roe over rice.

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. They have a wide and creative assortment of cocktails that makes you question how that ingredient works in a drink. 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. I highly recommend the egg dish - best egg I've had in my entire life. Thanks for the wonderful time.

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.

Vietnamese spot with classics and some other Asian items too…read more Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (bun bowls $17) Opentableable: no Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Crispy egg rolls: bumpy crispy exterior and filled with pork inside. Delightful version. 4.5 stars - Bun bowls: large sized with soft noodles and fresh veggies. Pork was in small slices and glazed a bit and full shrimp was plump which I loved since some places give you flat small butterflied overcooked pieces. 4.25 stars - Chicken dumplings: steamed with a good thin wrapper and tasty filling. 4 stars - Ginger ale: freshly made with real chunks of ginger and some sweetness. 4 stars - Nice semi circle booths in the back - Decor: cute white lights, greenery, and Asian art pieces. Lowlights: - Took a while to come take our order but think they were short staffed that day but gave us a few appetizers which I appreciated.

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!

Our group of 4 walked over to Pho & Bar after being quoted a 1 hour wait at Noodles by Nina. I…read morestill wanted noodle soup and figured a half empty restaurant was a quicker resolution, however I'm now fairly certain we would have gotten our food faster even with the 1 hour wait at our original restaurant choice. Service was incredibly slow for how empty the restaurant was. After more than 30 minutes of waiting and no sign of our server, another server finally came to check on us and realized none of our order tickets made it to the kitchen. This could have easily been recognized by the original server had he even showed up to check on us during this time. I wish I could say the food was worth the wait. The pork egg rolls we got had just 1 piece of lettuce and barely pickled veggies to accompany it. I was confused that my house pho with beef short rib came with the meat on the side, which was sadly very cold and chewy. The broth itself was fine, but the chili oil pooled so much and was too greasy to be palatable. Our server did at least remove the apps from our bill as an apology for the service and I did at least find the food edible. For a $20 bowl of pho though I am still left feeling offended and full of regret that I didn't just wait it out for Noodles by Nina. We all left agreeing that the only enjoyable part of our meal was the 2010s hits playlist.

My friends and I…read moreshared several dishes, and everything had that homemade touch that reminded me of authentic Vietnamese cooking. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the dishes in English to my friends who don't speak Vietnamese. He even brought us three additional slices of bánh mì to go with our bò kho (beef stew), since the dish only comes with two slices and there were five of us. Such a thoughtful gesture! This place is truly a hidden gem in Denver. Overall, all five of us were very impressed. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and our server was attentive, helpful, and provided excellent service. We also didn't have to wait long for our food.

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. Many tables still had leftovers from prior customers but they were quick to clean and turn them over. 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!
