This place is fantastic! The food is super tasty and the service is fast and prompt and the location is very cozy.

I have nothing but good experiences at Golden Saigon! Here's a picture of the Com Dac Biet which is a mixed rice platter with meats that I had yesterday. I've had pho, sesame chicken, mama les chicken curry, Mongolian beef, etc. and everything is so fresh and tasty! The service is outstanding. I highly recommend getting the spring rolls and trying out the fresh ginger ale! This is by far my favorite restaurant . The restaurant space itself is a quaint little store and feels very intimate as well! read more

Followup review a decade later: Some money has been invested to make the place better. New leather seat covers are especially nice. A new wooden fence blocks most of the view of the somewhat sleazy strip mall. Service is upgraded as well. Servers check with you frequently to see if all is well. Free takeout ginger ale drink included as is free appetizer won tons that are quite good. Menu looks new, no doubt to raise the prices. But the food is fresh with vegan options and all sorts of interesting choices. This is still a prime choice for Vietnamese food. We each had a pho variation for lunch, both quite good (one vegan lemon grass, one chicken Pho ga). Egg roll appetizer not needed given the free app they give you, but egg rolls still were great. One odd thing we noted was the hours are restricted to Wed-Sun noon to 8PM, closed Mon and Tues all day. Made us wonder if crime is an issue in this neighborhood, although no issues at lunch. read more

YOU NEED TO TRY THIS RESTAURANT NOW! The ambiance is so good. We walked in at peak lunch time on a Saturday and were sat in a booth immediately. Waters on the table .2 seconds later. It took a minute before someone came over to take our order, but it gave us a chance to look over the menu and we were given two apps on the house to make up for it!! Now...the food. Incredible. Every single thing HIT, the wontons, potstickers, egg flower soup (must add sriracha) and the EGG ROLLS. The egg rolls are a must order item. We got the crispy chow mein and sesame chicken for our entrees and the servings were huge. The sesame chicken was cooked to perfection, crispy yet melts in your mouth. I ordered a homemade ginger ale to go and they gave us another on the house. 10/10 experience, 10/10 food. I can't wait to go back and try the fried dumplings, pho, etc. AMAZING. NO NOTES. read more

This place lives up to the hype if you want some of the best appetizers around. The pork egg rolls were amazing and the cheese wi tons were also great. Potstickers were yummy as well. Weird thing, they had a picture of the wings in the back page of the menu but they were not on there. When we asked if they had them they said yes, but later came and said they were out of them. Also, the sesame chicken and wonton soup were good. It's pretty busy there but the food is good so that makes sense. read more

We will not be going here again. We went on Friday night so it was pretty packed but we had reserved a table for 8 and it was ready for us. They sat us then completely ignored us. There were 3 waiters who didn't seem to have sections, as they all just ran around to random tables. We had to flag one of them down to get our drink order in after sitting there for about 10 minutes. Then it took a while for the food to come out, but the food was good. However, anytime we needed anything at all we had to try to flag someone down again. The waiters were terrible! They need to be trained! Like I said, our food was good but the service was just atrocious. One more thing - they said they did not have a drink menu and when we asked what alcoholic drinks they had they said they only had one type of bottled beer. Then when asked about mixed cocktails they said they could put booze in their homemade ginger ale but that was it. When asked for a 2nd beer, the guy came out with a different brand and said the other one was all sold out. We said ok, then when we tried it, it was warm. Like he just found some in a back closet or something. Yuck. read more

My husband and I thought we'd check it out because they had such great reviews. I now understand why they have such great reviews. First, the service is amazing. They are very quick and courteous, they actually know good food and can speak upon it intelligently. The main dish was great, the baguette even better! When I commented about the bread, they brought out a sample of a new recipe they're testing out for the sister restaurant next door. It's not just a home run, it's a Grand Slam! read more

Their food always has tremendous flavors, texture, and portion size. Today we had Sesame Chicken and Kung POA Chicken, Cheese wontons, with tasty Ginger Tea. Their Staff is very attentive and efficient. We continue to come here every time we're up in the Denver area and take friends and family here when we are able. We've never had a bad meal or poor experience. One of our all time favorite places to dine. read more

Golden Saigon - Sesame Chicken and Kung Poa Chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Golden Saigon slaps so hard! Vietnamese food is one of my favs - give me a vermicelli bowl literally any day - and this restaurant is one of the best Vietnamese places I've ever been to. We stared with the crispy rolls w/ pork (always a 10/10), and had the lamb curry + chicken noodle bowl. SO MUCH CHICKEN like absolutely loaded that bowl up. Long story short, everything was delicious, vibes were great, service was excellent, and we will def become regulars. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Aurora! Every dish that I have had has been super yummy. So far, I've had the sesame chicken, combination noodle bowl, combination steamed rice platter, and the wings. I haven't tried everything yet, but I hope to someday, haha. I don't know how I've not known about this place for so long, but I'm glad that it was shown to me. The inside is homey and there are plants everywhere which I thought to be super cool. I've never been one for fancy restaurants, so I liked it. Finally, the best thing about this is the service. All of the staff is incredibly kind and friendly. Going here has become a weekly tradition for me and my boyfriend. Oh, and get the homemade ginger ale. You won't regret it! read more

Great restaurant with efficient, friendly service. They offer an appetizer on the house shortly after getting beverages set, and the food is always served hot and delicious at just the right time. love the stone bowl curry-absolutely delicious! read more

Absolutely the worst combination noodle bowl ever. The meat was dry, overcooked from yesterday even with a full cup of fish sauce. They gave us free crab cheese wontons and pot stickers which were also disgusting. The sweet and sour sauce tasted like it was made with all purpose cleaner. Food should have never been served to anyone. read more

OK as far as Viet dishes go, they do use some creative embellishments. But it is done quite well. Dishes like combination rice, beef stew, and dumplings have some interesting additions but it does not detract from taste. All dishes I had were quite good - especially the wings and dumplings. Service was great as well. read more

Have been here twice now and have enjoyed both times. The pho is flavorful as well as the combination bowl. Also recommend the spicy beef soup, curry, and dumplings (with the curry sauce). They make a fresh ginger ale in house which has been very refreshing as well as a tasty Thai tea. Service has been great. The servers are so nice and they have given us items on the house each time. Bonus for the cute plant interior! read more

One of the best experiences I've had in Denver, everything from the food to the service was top tier. The pho broth was amazing and the sesame seed chicken had an interesting take that didn't dissapoint. The restaurant itself has a very welcoming atmosphere and cant wait to come back here! read more

Service was AMAZING. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional. We tried the crab cheese wontons, dumplings, and spring rolls and they were all the best we have had in Colorado. We got the Pho Tai and the Seafood soup and both had large amounts of meat. Also got the homemade ginger ale which was fresh and yummy. Would highly recommend. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! The prices are very reasonable! The curry sauce is top tier! If you don't get a house ginger ale you will be missing out read more

Rice noodle bowl was incredible! We also ordered sesame chicken and 2 bowls of pho. The food was incredible quality and the taste was unforgettably delicious. Service was some of the best we've had. Maybe it's our family's new favorite spot. Thank you team, see you before too long read more

This place still remains my favorite Vietnamese Restaurant in Aurora! No matter how far away I move, I always come back here. The service is superb and beyond expectations every time whether they're super busy or slow. The flavor and authenticity of the food NEVER disappoints. Tuan and his sister do an amazing job. If you're visiting Denver, I highly recommend you start here if you're looking for Pho or great Vietnamese food! The ambience, thriving live plants everywhere, very welcoming local spot! Must try!! read more

Everything was delicious. The staff hustles. They don't stop moving. We called ahead for a party of 5. It was our first time. There was a lot of ppl doing take out and I can see why. Food is so good. Love the tea and the ginger ale. Curry is so flavorful. Kid friendly. Lots of families dining in. Parking was a small lot. read more

This place was incredible on many levels. We ordered food for pick up and all of it was amazing. We arrived to pick up our order and the staff was so gracious, offering us a ginger ale and some pot stickers while we wait. Once our large order was prepared, we took everything to go. The Pho Ga was delicious. The broth was fresh and flavorful. All of the fixins were perfect. The egg rolls were plentifully filled and crispy, even after transporting them a few miles home. The spring rolls were colorful and the dipping sauce was homemade. The Pho Tai was really a stand out. The broth was clean and full of depth and the meat was raw and cooked perfectly in the warmed broth. The one comment I would make about the fixins was that the onions were sliced a little thick. Aside from that minor detail, all was incredible and I can't wait to order again. The ambiance is definitely a low key vibe, but there is a local family feel, which makes this place special! read more

Golden Saigon - Homemade Ginger Ale! - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Few Vietnamese / pho places stand out to me -- seems like there are a lot of decent to good spots in Aurora, and some more off Federal. Some not so good. But mostly on par with each other. Golden Saigon stands head and shoulders above the rest. They were packed on a cold Wednesday night but managed to seat my parents and me immediately, plus brought some steamed dumplings on the house. I got Mama Le's chicken curry, would recommend, a hearty curry clearly made with fresh vegetables. My mom got the spicy beef noodle soup and that might have been even better. Think pho but more flavor, similar to Chinese niu rou mi xian read more

Liked the plants, wood walls and eclectic feel of the restaurant, everything that we had was delicious - house special curry and combo cold rice noodle bowl. It seemed like they brought an "on the house" appetizer to every table - which was a special treat and not something that happens often I feel like at restaurants anymore read more

It's not a legit trip to Denver unless I stop by Golden Saigon. It's my families favorite place for Vietnamese food, and I understand why! We went on a bustling Sunday night. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so I'm guessing everyone wanted to get their Vietnamese fix. We got there just in time before a few big crowds shuffled in. The servers were the best! They were so sweet and attentive. The restaurant is family-owned, and you could tell by the warmth and care they provided. Firstly, we ordered hot Jasmine tea. It was delicious and served in big glasses. I was happy to see the Vegan Taro Egg Rolls on the menu. I enthusiastically ordered them for an appetizer. They did not disappoint! The egg rolls came with rice noodles, cabbage, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and cilantro. That's a lot of different things, most of which I was not expecting, but I was not complaining. That in and of itself was like a full appetizer. The taro egg rolls were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The two dipping sauces added enhancing flavors. For my entree, I ordered Crispy Tofu in Sesame sauce with Rice & Steamed Veggies. This dish had potential, but it didn't quite do it for me. The tofu was extremely fried. There were barely any sesame seeds. The few baby carrots on my plate seemed like an afterthought. The broccoli and rice were good. I think it could have been better, but it was still good, I ate practically all of it. We were celebrating my grandma's birthday (92 woohoo). The servers gifted her with a piece of chocolate cake. She was thrilled and said it was one of the best chocolate cakes she's ever had! Sweet, but not too sweet. Chocolatey, but not too dense. Just right. read more

I'm always on the prowl for a great bowl of pho. Some of the best I have ever had are from Chinatown NY and Embarcadero San Francisco. Golden Saigon came highly recommended, so I gave them a try. OMG. So much meat, fresh mint and parsley, perfectly cooked noodles, and the broth was the right amount of flavor without being a little sweet like some places. Good price and very friendly staff. I will be going back! read more

Been here twice and they went above and beyond both times. Genuinely nice servers and the best Pho in Aurora. They're my new go to, and if you're allergic to Gluten, like I am, they take precautions to make sure you're safe. Thank you Golden Saigon. We loved your Ginger tea too :) read more

Golden Saigon is an amazing Chinese restaurant. I was really hungry for some classic Chineese dishes and my parents told me about this restaurant so I took them to lunch on our way to the house from the airport. We started with the hot and sour soup which is a family tradition as we start a meal at a Chinese restaurant. It had just the right amount of heat and a deep and flavorful broth. The menu here is huge with a lot more than just Chinese dishes but that is what I really wanted so we ordered sesame chicken, Mongolian beef and Szechuan Pork and shared the dishes family style. Each of these dishes was top-notch and were shining examples of each flavor profile. All the meats were lean and cooked perfectly, covered with just the right amount of sauce for each, and finished in an attractive way before being brought to the table. I wish that I lived right by this restaurant because there are so many different items on their menu. The kitchen team must a great deal of versatility and really know how to make great food. I will be back every time I come into town. read more

Golden Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We have come here a couple of times now and are always impressed. As soon as you walk in the door, you are enthusiastically greeted by all the wait staff on the floor. It is always pretty packed but they always seem to be able to seat us almost immediately. Each time we have come, we've ordered something new. This last time, we ordered fried rice (and asked them to add pineapple to it, in which they said was a frequent modification!), the hot and sour soup and the mama's clay pot curry. Everything was so delicious. The hot and sour soup was definitely unique, creamier and thicker than expected but it's probably one of my favorites now. Each time we have come, they have given us complimentary appetizers and they've always been hot and fresh. The wait staff even recognized that we didn't get any meat with our order so they were sure to bring us an app without meat. The house made ginger ale is also a favorite and is refreshing. This is definitely one of our favorites and are adding it to our regular rotation. read more

It's simply not Vietnamese. You can't call it a Vietnamese restaurant when the Com Thit Nuong tastes like char siu. The rice isn't the signature broken rice and they only have pickled daikon and cucumber -- no tomatoes or pickled carrots. The nuoc mam was the only saving grace, but by itself it could not save the dish. The Bun Bo Hue is also missing many of key ingredients that make it stand out from other Vietnamese soups. It didn't have a pork bone, pork blood, and in fact the only meat was brisket. While the soup was decent, it feels like they made pho and added Bun Bo Hue seasoning. Ordered the beef wrapped shrimp, which came with vinegar on the side instead of the usual nuoc mam. The meat was over cooked and the lettuce too small to make wraps. I feel like they knew beforehand that this wasn't the Vietnamese restaurant that they had promised. They went out of their way to give us free dumplings (which were also only accompanied by vinegar). Aside from the flies, the restaurant was clean and the food came out extremely fast (which probably meant they just reheated up most of it , which is why the meats were overcooked.) Will not be returning. Please do not come here expecting to get traditional Vietnamese food. read more

We checked out Golden Saigon on a whim and it blew us away! Everything was DELICIOUS, the service was great, and they even had gluten free options. Our portions were sizable and enough for another meal. We cannot wait to go back! read more

I'd driven past Golden Saigon for years. Finally stopped in and I'm so glad I did. I've been a regular customer since. Even at 3pm, this place has a crowd. Understandably so. The food itself is very tasty & authentic. Not a huge menu but certainly sufficient and varied. Portion size is good as well. The best thing about Golden Saigon is their service. I've been to many restaurants, some provide very professional service. These folks truly make you feel like welcomed guests. If you're wanting very good Vietnamese food but don't feel like driving all the way down to Federal Blvd, Golden Saigon is an excellent choice. read more
