Vietnamese spot with classics and some other Asian items too. 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. read more

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 read more

The outside was a little sketch at first. I am not from the area, so I quickly realized this is the norm for local places to eat. When I walked in, I noticed the greenery they had all over the place (I'm a sucker for plants). It was very, very cold outside the day I came for a visit, so I was craving some good soup. I opted for the Pho and it was as expected - SO good and definitely hit the spot. The waitstaff were all so friendly, too. We had several people constantly checking up to make sure we were ok and that was also impressive. I would definitely come here again if I come back for a visit. read more

Solid pho spot for sure! I just got done here, I will for SURE be back! Straight gas the food was great, the service was awesome, and the place was super cute. Thank you again, we were hungry and forgot to even get a photo take my word for it, it was bomb! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Golden Saigon - Fried egg rolls, sesame chicken, and combination rice plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

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. read more

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. read more

Had dinner here before heading to the airport. Lovely ambiance with lights and greenery. We arrived & were seated right before the dinner rush. We saw the restaurant quickly fill up and noticed people also waiting outside to be seated. Employees are welcoming & friendly, providing great service. We shared a variety of appetizers, including the grilled mussels. I had the grilled pork rice noodle bowl; my husband opted for the pho with rare steak, and my daughter chose the spicy beef noodle soup (meat was tender and the broth was rich with a medium spice). I didn't get to try their homemade ginger ale, but my husband and daughter said it was good. Portions are large and definitely enough for sharing. Our meal was fantastic and I hope to return next time I'm in Denver. read more

The servers were so nice, and they even gave us ginger soda and spring rolls on the house :) Food was fantastic! So satisfying

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. read more

Wow! Golden Saigon exceeded my expectations with food and service. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were seated promptly. Throughout our time, the service was some of the best we have had in a long time. Our waiter was kind enough to provide complimentary dumplings as well as a complimentary ginger drink. Both were delicious! I highly recommend the cheese wontons-fresh and stuffed with cheese! Per the waiter recommendations, we ordered the lamb curry and the drunken noodles with pork! Both were very fresh with deep flavor. Would come back in a heartbeat. While the outside is unassuming, the true magic comes from the people in the kitchen and those serving. read more

Golden Saigon - Cheese wontons, fried dumplings, steamed dumplings - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Very friendly service and ambiance is nice- let's just say it takes you back thirty years. The staff is trying hard to satisfy your every request. They provide complimentary potstickers which were solid. We ordered the tom yum and added chicken, she liked the variety of veggies in the dish. Our waiter recommended the yellow curry. While the portion was generous, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I would've liked. While it tasted fresh, the flavor profile resembled that of a traders joes yellow curry. I almost gave this restaurant five stars because of how nice the service is, but I left just a touch disappointed on the execution of the curry. Definitely cool interior and worth checking out though. read more

Amazing from beginning to end. Everything we ordered was delicious and service is phenomenal.

Wow!! Fantastic! Went around 6:30 - was pretty crowded and had to wait for a table. Several workers came up to us while waiting to ensure we were doing okay / didnt anything. We got the crab rangoons (amazing) and they surprised us with dumplings on the house! Both were delicious and we thought this was so incredibly kind. I ordered the pho. Previously i wasnt a huge fan of pho - but everyone around us had it, so i felt like it had to be good here. indeed i was correct. The pho was outstanding! Didnt need anything added - i now consider myself a pho fan! This was a great experience. I cannot wait to return! read more

So so so good! Love a great Vietnamese restaurant and this one is a stand out! From friendly faces to complimentary appetizers and fabulous food. Even homemade ginger ale! The pho broth has all the right notes of flavor. I tried their sister restaurant the day before. A fabulous Bahn Mi shop, also fabulous. Definitely worth going out of the way to eat here. I'll definitely be back! Thanks guys! read more

I'm surprised I haven't left a review as we have been coming here consistently for years. Perhaps I selfishly wanted to keep it a secret! First, the crispy egg roll appetizer is something I crave! It's so good and fresh! The pho is amazing. The Chinese dishes are excellent. They make their own ginger beer and their own French bread and those are two things I love! read more

Absolutely delicious pho! I got a small bowl and I'm soooo full! They cut the steak in their Pho Tai into smaller strips, so I was skeptical that there wouldn't be that much meat in my bowl, but oh my gosh was I wrong. So much meat in my bowl. They also treated me to a free appetizer- fried chicken dumplings. They were delicious, and served over a curry sauce that was so yummy. I didn't even use the dipping sauce. I don't often come to this part of town, but I definitely think it's worth the trip. My server was also super attentive, friendly, and helpful. Definitely check this place out if you're craving some pho! read more

I have been on a pho kick and decided to try a new spot while we were in the area. Golden Saigon did not disappoint. I loved the interior, the plants are so cute! We were seated right away and were given a sling to put our baby's car seat in. We ordered the spring rolls with pork as well as the egg rolls. Both were tasty! They gave us potstickers with a curry sauce and crab and cream cheese wontons on the house. Those were so yummy! Definitely get the potstickers if you can! For our entrees we ordered their combination pho. The broth was a little on the bland side in my opinion but the meats they add make up for it! The brisket is cut thick and it's so flavor. I love that they add good chunks of tripe too. I'll definitely be back, I'd love to try more of their menu! read more

Been two years since I was last there, I had introduced the restaurant to two close friends who had been going a lot lately. The three of us went last night, said hello to the owners who were happy to see us. We had two combo Bun Bowls, wanton soup, wraps and their complementary dumplings and gingerade. Everything was delicious, parking was easy out front, and as usual they did a great presentation and service for us. read more

From start to finish, this restaurant lives up to its reputation. I was greeted and sat immediately in my own booth and my waiter was very kind and willing to answer any questions I had about the menu since it was my first time there after getting recommended it from my coworker. The dining area was spacious and even included some outdoor dining options if you wanted. I started off by ordering their spring roll with peanut sauce and it tasted amazing. They brought me out complimentary wontons which were great as well. I placed my order for spicy sesame chicken with rice and vegetables after and was shortly presented a homemade ginger ale on the house as well. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The portion was also really generous. I couldn't finish my chicken but I finished the rice and vegetables. I asked for a to-go box and without even asking they noticed I have finished my rice and gave me a to-go box with rice included already in it! Super amazing and 5 star experience. I can't wait to go back. read more

Friendly and quick service but not sure their dishes are for my taste buds. Ordered the bun bo hue but found the meat to be overcooked and chewy. The noodles used were not the usual ones you find in this dish. Overall the dishes just felt a bit more westernised. Place was super busy though! So maybe just me ~ thank you read more

Free dumplings! Very large portions of pho. Service was good. Ambiance was nice. Only thing is the soup for the pho wasn't very hot and kinda bland. read more
