If the bathrooms are this dirty, imagine how the kitchen looks.
Stephan G.

Chicken pho was average. Average amount of pieces of shredded chicken, average noodles in so-so broth. The sesame chicken looked and tasted kind of like it was from a bag, like frozen pre prepared. The sesame chicken sauce was like bright red like almost sweet-and-sour sauce. Very strange. Obviously highly processed. Not good. The whole place is really dirty. The bathroom walls and door were super filthy, like they've never ever been cleaned. If the bathrooms are that dirty, I wonder what the kitchen looks like. Gross.

Veggie pho.
Karen S.

Hot Pho looks a bit dingy from the outside, but the interior is much more modern. We all ordered the veggie pho with vegetarian broth, and it tasted quite good, although the bowls were surprisingly light on broth. This was made worse when the server spilled part of one bowl while bringing it to our table and didn't offer to replace the lost broth. That said, the service was otherwise friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable. Overall, it's a decent restaurant, but a bit more attention to portion size and follow-through would make the experience even better.

Location directions and storefront.
Jim B.

This location is easily accessed being a half a mile off of 36 West heading South towards 93rd Ave take 93rd and go left on Eaton St turn right on W 92nd Ave up approx. .2 mi and turn left into the shopping center restaurant is straight ahead. There is handicap parking right in front. I selected this highly rated location via Yelp of course wanting it to be perfect for my family's introduction to Pho. We were warmly greeted and seated right away there is a lot of seating tables, provided menus and took our drink orders. This was a family get together and we were from So. California where we have had Pho often at our favorite place. This was a first introduction to Pho for the rest of the Denver family. We all pretty much ordered the chicken Pho which is our staple at home. The Pho came out steaming hot, living up to their name, with all the usual fixens (Basil, Jalapeno and bean sprouts). I proceeded to explain to the family on their preparation options. I had ordered the large serving with extra chicken and it came exactly as I asked. The Pho broth was very flavorful but not overpowering. The chicken was breast meat which was a little dryer as breast meat I and healthier as we were used to thigh meat. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it came with rice noodles. I sometimes at home order the glass noodles but I did not see that option on the menu. Most people prefer the rice noodles. The meal was fantastic just like at home; it was almost like they had received a call from our home location providing them the same recipe. My family loved the meal and now have a location, which is close to one's house, to have great Pho! The restaurant was simple quiet and clean; I always try to peek into the kitchen which I found very organized and clean. The bathroom was clean and had a clean odor. I highly recommend Hot Pho for your next Vietnamese meal.

Vegetarian egg rolls

Loved that they have vegetable broth for the pho and nice vegetarian options. When I went in to pick up my order earlier than they told me I was greeted before I even took a step in with a giant smile and a water since my order wasn't ready yet. They had plenty of tables and was nicely decorated.

Hot Pho is by far the best Pho place around! The food is phenomenal! Huge portions. Honestly the absolute best fried rice on the planet. Still waiting to get that recipe. Ambience is great! Customer service is always excellent! We go here for family events. Had a work event here. Food was phenomenal! We also bring our daughter here before every prom and homecoming and birthdays. Thank you Hot Pho for making our experience living here amazing! We love you and will always recommend you!

It has been awhile since I have been to a Pho restaurant that had something that I have not had before because they all seem to be pretty much the same, the main difference is the staff. This place has something new and it is good if you like spicy. The Hot Pho Special Spicy Brisket is awesome. I was joking when I saw the name of this place I foolishly said "who eats cold Pho?". I didn't know that Hot Pho was the name of the best Pho I have ever had. While they don't need to excel in customer service because they have something to differentiate themselves already, they excel anyway. Very friendly staff. PS Sorry no photos of the Hot Pho. I was in a trans and forgot to take any.

Large spicy brisket pho (P2).
Ann L.

Stumbled upon this place around 8/2020. I was surprised by previous poor reviews (though it looks like this place is now under new management). Was disappointed with all the other nearby pho restaurants. Glad we took a leap of faith and gave this place a shot. Since then, we have been coming back weekly (at the very least.) The spicy brisket pho is a must try- P2 on the menu. The broth is different than the standard pho broth. I'm a creature of habit, so I always order pho, I have not tried the other dry noodle or rice dishes. This restaurant has been consistent on quality and flavors (many pho places water down their broth.) Noodles are deliciously chewy and broth is slurp wService is friendly, they do get busy with plenty of take out orders, so exercise some patience.

Rare steak pho

So yummy! The staff was so friendly and inviting. Great food - all the appetizers were fresh and the pho was great too :) definitely will be back!

Sesame chicken
Kaci B.

A great little spot! Good parking, friendly service, and inexpensive yet delicious food. I was pretty surprised how quickly we got our food! We got the pork egg rolls, it came with four small egg rolls but they were quite tasty and exactly what we were craving. I got the kids pho as I wasn't too hungry, I didn't realize it only came with broth, noodles, and chicken but it still hit the spot and was yummy. My husband got the sesame chicken which was amazing! I was surprised at how big the portion was- lots of chicken, a huge scoop of rice, and some veggies on the side. I think our total bill after tip was only about $25 which was great for the amount of food we got. Although we aren't from Denver, I would definitely see us being regulars here if we were.

Cream and crab wontons

If I could rate this place it'd be a 10/10 The portions for the price are amazing, the food tasted just as good and the owners are the nicest people I've come crossed in a while! I'd stop by every time I came to Colorado definitely go eat there!!

Spicy brisket hot pho with meatball
Ngoc N.

If you love spicy, you'll definitely love this place! Most pho places that offer "spicy broth", they use bun Bo hue broth but here they actually use a spicy pho broth. The portions are humongous. I ordered their spicy brisket pho with hot broth and added meatballs that was delicious! Different from most places because the brisket was marinated on the side. The customer service is phenomenal! Super fast and very attentive, he was extremely nice as well. Definitely give this a place if you like spicy pho.

See all

One Vietnamese Restaurant - Bun thit nuong

One Vietnamese Restaurant

(224 reviews)

This was a surprise find!…read more I stopped here to pick up something quick to eat before I headed to my side hustle shift. The Vietnamese food was something I hadn't had in a while so when I realized that this was in the same shopping center as the gym I worked out at I simply couldn't think of anything else. As soon as I stepped inside it a very clean roomy dining room was in front of me. It looked new as there was no old restaurant feel to it. Then a young man quickly came to me to assist. I thus asked for a menu to peruse to which he kindly handed a beautiful booklet. The menu is a fancy booklet type with leather looking covers. In it, almost all the menu items had their accompanying photos. This type of menu truly helps so I could get a good understanding of the food they offer (yes, I'm more of a visual person.) I definitely wanted some healthy choice so when I spotted the Papaya Salad I looked no further (and yet I didn't want to pass the opportunity to eat the Vietnamese food staple, the deep fried Vietnamese Egg Roll so I, without hesitation, added that to my order. The Papaya Salad is/was $13.99 and the Vietnamese Egg Roll (6 piece) is/was $11.95 (as of December 4, 2025.) I placed my order with the same young man who greeted me. The time was still a bit early for the rush dinner hour. The restaurant only had several tables occupied. My food thus came out from the kitchen quite quickly. The bag the young man handed me was quite the weight. Once I was back to my car I immediately investigated what was inside. I was surprised as to how massive the Papaya Salad was! The portion for the Vietnamese Egg Roll was also very generous. I realized that I simply ordered way too much food for myself. I was able to eat only one of the dishes (the Egg Roll) before my shift. The Egg Roll was crispy on the outside. Not too oily or greasy; just the perfect texture. The accompanying noodles on the other end of the container were also delicious; they surely put a generous amount of crushed peanuts all over it (as of this writing, I have not eaten the Papaya Salad but like I said earlier, the portion size is big. And the way it looks is promising where I have no doubt that this dish is as solid as the Egg Roll.) This Vietnamese restaurant is a gem. I tend to get job assignments in this neighborhood here and there so if I end up coming back to this area next time now I know a solid restaurant that I can count on.

Food while traveling is always iffy for me but I lucked out with my order here…read more I can only comment on my to-go order of a combo eggroll bowl which included meatballs, pork, and shrimp. A huge portion, so I was really happy. Some of the best eggrolls I've had in a long time and the shrimp was delicious. I found the meats to be tough because they were sliced so thin. Stick with the shrimp here and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! If you're ordering to go, ask for utensils if you need them as they didn't provide me with anything to eat with!

Faifo Noodle House - Bun Bo Hue

Faifo Noodle House

On my search for the best Pho in Denver, I visited Faifo Noodle House last year and got their Beef…read morePho with extra Beef Rib. The broth was deep and aromatic and the portion size, especially with the beef rib, was massive. Everything was so impressive that since that visit, this place has been on my regular rotation for pho. Beside Pho, they have a few other offerings, one of which is rather unique. For the more adventurous, Faifo offers a spicy beef pho. This is a dry-style pho serves with all the fixin' and a spicy sate style sauce that makes for an amazing meal on a hot day. It also comes with a bowl of pho broth for satisfying sips between bites. This is easily one of my favorite dish on the menu and a must try here. Beside that, I've also had their Bun Bo Hue, which is pretty dang tasty. The broth is very tasty, though not as funky or spicy as ones I've had in Vietnam. Nonetheless, it's a mighty tasty bowl and something to get for the colder days here in Denver. Both the Bo Kho and the Banh Canh are also very good as well, though not a must compared to other dishes on the menu. Overall, Faifo is a great Vietnamese restaurant. The value is also tremendous given the portion size. This is an easy 4/5 for me.

Wow, how fortunate are we to find this unicorn of a restaurant that serves bò kho and many…read moreVietnamese staples. Their bò kho definitely reminds me of my father's recipe, which is rich and not overly sweet. This aromatic Vietnamese beef stew is a fragrant broth infused with lemongrass, star anise, and spices. It's a bowl of distinct and complex flavor profile that balances savory, sweet, spicy notes, with a vibrant brick-red color from the annatto seeds. The cuts of beef shank, flank, and chuck were soft so you know they spent hours simmering to achieve this level of tenderness. The deep beef profile is highlighted when adding bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime juice to cut through the richness and carrots provided a natural sweetness to the savory broth. Bánh canh is a Vietnamese noodle soup featuring thick, chewy noodles made from tapioca flour, rice flour, or a mix, served in a flavorful broth with various toppings like pork, shrimp, crab, or fish cake. The broth is clean from the hours of simmering bones to create a savory, collagen-rich base. You can taste the freshness of the soup garnished with fresh cilantro, green onions, fried shallots, lime, and chili oil. Plus you get a boat load of proteins and garnishes - shrimp cake, imitation crab meat, shrimp, quail egg, mushroom, tapioca noodle, onion, cilantro and black pepper. We'll be back and try the bún bò huế and cá ri.

Pho 78 - Westminster - Noodle pull

Pho 78 is a local Vietnamese restaurant in Westminster off of Wadsworth in the Home Depot shopping…read morecenter. True to the name, it's fair to say I can accurately rate it 7.8/10! I came in over the weekend during our biggest cold front of the year. Soothing pho broth needed to be injected into my veins! I've ordered takeout from here several times, but this was my first time dining in. Seat yourself and they'll come to your table to grab your order. Both gentleman on the floor were seasoned restaurant employees taking orders without writing anything down while chatting it up with their regulars. Love to see it! Rare steak and brisket pho is my most common pho order. They offer small, medium, and large bowls. For $13, the medium was a hefty portion size that filled me up. The noodle pull was elite, the meat tender, and most importantly, the broth was delicious. Above average pho for sure! I took some home for my wife and she also approved of hers. I ordered a banh mi (love that they're priced at $7.85). Although it was filled with generous pieces of pork, it was predominately carrot heavy, which just seemed very off to me. I'm usually a huge fan of pickled daikon, but this was more of raw shredded carrots that didn't elevate the sandwich, instead it took away from the overall flavor. Few misses include no napkins on the table, wet plates leading to wet tables, and not telling me to go up to the counter to cash out. Like I said earlier, the service was very good, but it seems like they really cater to their regulars here. I want to be in the know like the rest! Would (and will) return for some bomb pho. Big fan of unassuming local restaurants in strip plazas.

Great service and delicious food! Will definitely go back. The service was great too and I liked…read morethe ambiance.
