    Fried shrimp in some kind of GF rice coating - YUM
    Rachel S.

    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!

    They're always very kind here! Service is fast and the food is fresh, well seasoned, and just delicious. They don't skimp on portions either, it's worth what you pay.

    Golden Saigon consistently has the best, friendliest service and delicious food. I never get tired of eating there and the menu has a great variety - but my favorite is the curry. Tonight I tried the lamb curry and it didn't disappoint. All of our entrees had so many fresh vegetables that were cooked perfectly and lots of lamb/shrimp/beef (depending on what we ordered). And the portions are large. The restaurant is always clean and when the Littles come with us they love to watch the fish in the aquarium. The staff works together to make sure no one is ever waiting for anything no matter how crowded they get. You can't go wrong eating at Golden Saigon.

    Large shrimp Pho

    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.

    All of the servers were extremely kind and helpful, amazing service. The food is fresh and flavorful. The spring rolls were delicious, and the pho and spicy beef noodle soup were incredible. We got the small size and still had leftovers. We had an excellent experience dining in the restaurant and definitely will be returning.

    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)

    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.

    The servers were patient and thorough about questions on menu items. Appetizers were great we got free pot stickers because I think server saw it was almost my birthday when checking my ID. Also the unfiltered sake was nice and sweet. The seating layout and aesthetics were very pleasing as well. Very good experience here will be coming here again!

    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

    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

    The best Vietnamese food I've ever had. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The fresh wraps were excellent, and I highly recommend the cheese wontons and dumplings , they were some of the best we've ever had. The pho was on another level. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the portions were generous, especially with the amount of meat. One of the managers explained that they prepare their pho in small batches, which many restaurants do not do anymore because it is not as cost-effective. It really makes a difference, though, because the soup here tasted fresh and full of flavor, never watered down. The service was amazing as well. Everyone was so kind, they even gave us a ginger drink to help with digestion and an extra appetizer. They also offer a discount if you pay in cash. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the ambiance was calm and welcoming.

    Food was all 10/10 - great flavor, fresh, perfect spice. Our server brought us some homemade ginger beer to try and it was really tasty! Don't skip on this place!

    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

    It's been a long time coming but Dan Da is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Colorado…read moreand probably in the US. When you think of Vietnamese, Americans tend to think of Pho, noodle bowls and lemongrass chicken but we need more places the focuses in home cooking and dishes that locals eat. Ingredients are fresh and dishes pack a powerful flavor bomb...I mean wow! The use of shrimp paste and other traditional ingredients really elevate flavors that many Americans are not used to, but you have to try it to understand. Their claypots are a must order and with a side of rice....you'll be eating for days! The star of the night was the pork and calamari claypot which is cooked in shrimp paste and your favorite Vietnamese spices and herbs. You'll finish bowls of rice with this dish, it packs so much flavor that you'll be wanting more. It's a great mix of salty, sweet and umami from the fermented shrimp paste. The Vietnamese curry was thick and packed with succulent shrimp. The veggies at a very nice brightness to balance out the coconut milk. The last dish we had was a shrimp lemon grass in the clay pot and that was also a hit with everyone! Service is amazing and they definitely know how to recommend dishes to match your taste buds. They went out of the way to help everyone and it shows. If you need a new spot, check Dan Da!

The vibe is warm and relaxed with low lighting and volume. You can choose from booths or a table. The booth was firm yet soft and not worn out or peeling. I ordered the pho with rare steak and two beef ribs. It was only $16 compared to $32 when I order that in Cali. My fiance got pho with well done brisket. The first thing she commented on was how delicious the broth is. It's golden, warm, and savory like a big hug for your insides. I'm picky with my pho broth and this place is on point.

The broth was on the lighter side and lacked depth, and the chicken itself was dry and a bit tough to chew. The vegetable egg rolls were disappointing, they were mushy on the inside and tasted like they were straight from the freezer. The Thai tea was the highlight. Not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Service was a bit hit or miss. It was busy when I came in, which is understandable, but when I went up to pay, I was ignored while the woman at the counter continued talking with her family. Another staff member eventually stepped in to help me. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not one that would bring me back.
