    Very cozy and whimsical local restaurants atmosphere. Delicious and wide variety of Vietnamese food. Very friendly and good service. Curry in stone pot is must try!

    Three of us and one toddler stopped in for lunch. We were lucky to get a booth right away because they are usually packed on weekends. Service was a little slower than usual as they filled up. But our meals came out quickly and were piping hot. It seems like I discover some new piece of interesting and pretty decor every time I dine there.

    The food was delicious and there many gluten free offerings - just make sure to specify gluten free if you need it that way (it won't automatically be made GF). Service was quick and the staff was kind. We were given a few extra FREE appetizers and their homemade ginger ale. Quaint restaurant, packed with people. Will come back!

    WOZY! After landing at the airport with an extreme craving for pho, I headed straight here. It's my first time. Their TripAdvisor nomination as #1 is absolutely deserved. Having just returned from Vietnam, I can confidently say their pho is as authentic as anything I enjoyed overseas. The broth is beautifully layered, with tons of proteins, the noodles have that perfect chew, and the flavors are unmistakably true to Vietnamese cuisine. A standout experience from the moment they gave me homemade dumplings on the house! And the staff was friendly and immediately attentive. Clean and cute place.

    It was either here or Pearl of Siam and i am SOO HAPPY we chose Golden Saigon!! The waiters made my party feel so welcome as they brought out our appetizers and a little extra which was perfect as we just came back from our flight STARVING. We finished almost everything and the portion sizes were just right. I've eaten at many pho spots and Golden Saigon had a great ratio of savory and sweetness i. their bowl. Will come again

    Brisket pho

    My favorite restaurant in Colorado, amazing service with a clean, cute & cozy inside. :-) my first time here they were so welcoming, homemade ginger ale is tasty! I love the brisket pho & crab rangoons!! A true 10/10 all around!

    Food: Fresh, great portion, tasty and authentic in my humble opinion. They served me with complimentary dumpling that is perfect size & tasty tender pork with perfect seasoning. The complimentary ginger ale is aid me so much for good digestion. They are so generous & give me a to go cup as well! Shrimp Spring rolls is in good portion (6 pieces) for $6! And the sauce is in well blended taste & texture. Pho is in tasty not too salty or sweet broth. Not oily either. Plenty of brisket, tendon, tripe & meatball. Plus, a lot of side Thai basil & bean sprouts. Beyond expectation! Service: 6/5 stars service. Very attentive, fast, just complement for ginger ale then you get to go cup on your way out. I wishes all of the restaurant still train her staffs this level of 20% worth the tips. Ambiance: Lots of plants, kind of remind me of lazy susan, fine dinning Chinese restaurant where my parents dragged me along to meet up with their friends once a month atmosphere. Vintage, nostalgia & classy vibes with a fish tank( for good Fortune). Over all: 10% off for cash pay. If you are looking for an old school, well established & impressive service with authentic Vietnamese & unbeatable value please discard the cover of this old book. It really a hidden gems of authentic Vietnamese foods in Aurora.

    Large shrimp Pho
    Doris G.

    Family takeout order with a large shrimp pho, large tai lean steak pho, beef chow fun, BUN grilled shrimp with rice noodles, we got comped crab Rangoon which were so yummy and an extra order of the largest fresh spring rolls I have ever eaten. I had to split the spring roll because they were so large. The only suggestion was that the beef close fun should have had more "wok hai" more fried wok flavor vs sautéed. The food was good, we will be back.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed them sooner! Golden Saigon is a staple in our household. We took a little break from them when we moved further away, but we're back in Aurora and they will see our faces more. Any time we are in, they treat us so well! The parking lot can be a little crowded but theres usually a spot somewhere. Their food is fantastic! The Sesame tofu is so good and they have the best in all of Denver. Mama Le's curry is another standout that is savory and warm. It's a vietnamese curry so it has a slight sweet taste and reminds me of my family's home cooking. Their wings are pretty good as well! One time, their special of the day was Bo Kho, which is my favorite vietnamese soup, behind Pho, but Pho transcends labels. Their Bo Kho was perfect; slightly greasy and very hearty paired with a crispy loaf of Banh Mi. Their homemade ginger beer is also delicious! I'm salivating just writing this. Planning my next visit now!

    Spicy beef, medium ($16.95)
    Grace T.

    I accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant but was pleasantly surprised! Ambience at this restaurant is definitely unique - kind of dark, steakhouse vibes. I appreciated the well-cared for orchid that was at my table. I ordered the spicy beef in the medium size ($16.95), which the server kindly explained was similar to Bun Bo Hue (but was not made traditionally with all the pork fixings). It took quite a while to get my order, maybe around 30 minutes. Servers were really apologetic about the wait and continuously came by to check up on me and brought out complimentary ginger ale and chicken dumplings. Service is one of the best I have experienced, especially for an Asian restaurant. The spicy beef was different from what I am used to, but it was delicious nonetheless. It had a good amount of spice and shredded cabbage. The lemongrass flavor was prominent; my only suggestion might be straining the broth prior to serving because I had to keep picking out fibrous pieces of lemongrass that were inedible. I am a creature of habit and tend to lean towards more authentic preparations of Vietnamese food, but I would recommend this restaurant for folks who are a bit more open-minded and adventurous eaters.

    This place is hidden pretty well but we came across it, visiting that area. I had the pho but I forgot to take pictures. It was good but it was missing the bean sprouts, and peppers you get at other restaurants. Regardless, it was still pretty good. My wife had the Mongolian beef and she enjoyed it, after taking some of my pho. My son's really like the chicken. It was too sweet for my taste but that how they like it The staff was nice and helped us with a few things. And the restaurant was beautiful, on the inside.

    I'm so impressed by this place. From the vibes to the staff to the food. Everything was so good!!! The servers were so caring and always ask how we were doing and the food came out so fast and the portion of the food was definitely worth what we paid for. Definitely recommend this place for locals and visitors!!! 10/10

    Cindy S.

    Let's get straight to the point!! Food!! We ordered springs rolls for app and they brought us steamed dumpling and crab Rangoon on the house. We were surprised definitely no complaints. Our main dish i got the combination bun bowl, daughter got steamed rice and sesame chicken and my boyfriend got the chicken and beef lo mein. Food came out nice and hot and all was delish. I didn't realize how big the portion was. Me and my daughter couldn't finish ours. The service was great we beat the dinner rush but still a little busy. Definitely casual, a bit dark great place for dinner and lunch lots of seating. Would go again!!! We were surprised for the 3 of us less then $60

    Do they use MSG? Thank You Jake, but it makes my heart race. ;-/…

    No- but you should know MSG is completely harmless. It's salt with some flavorings is all. The idea that MSG was bad came from junk science long outdated and debunked.

    Is there vegetarian pho options?

    Yes and it's very good

The ube latte was perfectly sweet with a strong ube flavor. The crème brûlée cruffin had a top that was so crispy from the toasted sugar that I couldn't cut into it, and the bottom was just stuffed full of cream. It was super messy to eat and impossible to share- next time I am getting my own. We also had the pandan coconut cupcake, which was good but not as exciting as the cruffin. The pandan and coconut were both equally strong flavors- I liked it better than my husband did. The Thai tea cake in a cup was also excellent, but outshone by the cruffin. They were out of a few other things we wanted to try by 11am on a Saturday, so get there early if you want something specific. The gentleman running the counter was very friendly and efficient, even when they were busy. Seriously, get the crème brûlée cruffin. I know I will be back for it.

There's a free parking lot behind the store, where you can even take advantage of the back entrance. The store isn't meant to be industrial chic or hipster, offering up a few communal picnic tables against faded white walls. What decor is present is probably artwork from a local artist on sale. Other packaged goods from other small businesses are also on offer. This means your eyes will immediately be drawn to their display cases of gorgeous pastries and the kitchen churning them out behind a glass divider. For the traditionalist, you can get a standard variety of croissants and muffins. But be a little adventurous. You might have seen their ultra buttery Ube and Pandan scones around town for sale at other businesses, and if you're a fan of those Southeast Asian flavors, be sure to try out one of their delectable cupcakes, cakes, or tarts. They're rich yet not too sweet (IYKYK) and pack a visual and gustatory punch. I pretty much never leave without getting one of their Strawberry Croissants too, a perfectly sized sweet treat of flaky pastry with light cream and fresh strawberries. Of their drinks and sandwiches, I'm a big fan of their Vietnamese Egg Coffee, but the Ube Latte was a bit too sweet for me. Just know you will be wired for the rest of the day unless you're a heavy daily coffee drinker! The banh mi's are certainly loaded and taste fresh, but they're less traditional than something you'll find on Federal and the chicken was overly black peppered for my taste.
