So we were curious about this pho spot at the same plaza as Kaluka. It's bigger than I thought. They were definitely short staffed the night we came. Near the front of the restaurant were small seats but each were occupied with people waiting for their to go order. The tables were not cleaned right away so we had to wait for them to clear a table for us. Service is friendly and they were doing their best. Food was pretty average. The appetizer sampler was nothing special. Just a bunch of items deep fried. While the pho had plenty of meat, the broth was weak for me. I like a strong pho aroma and when we walked in, we could smell it. But sadly it didn't reflect in the pho broth. Overall, just an average spot for us. read more

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. read more

Hot Pho - Veggie pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

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. read more

Hot Pho - Location directions and storefront. - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

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. read more

They are open late and we were hungry.Our friends were in town from Pueblo so they are excited to eat pho when they come. It was our first time in. They were busy and we were hungry so we ordered a lot of food; so glad we did! We got spring rolls, A bahn mi, and two bowls of pho. We got the ox tail and they got a combo. The spring rolls were so good! The meat was flavorful and lots of herbs were present. The pho broth was flavorful and the ox tail was decent. The bhan mi came home with us, but we ate it later that night. We were so happy to eat their delicious food for the second time in one night. The service was a 3, guessing because it was busy. We will be back and our friends said we have to go there everytime they come to visit. read more

Please check this place out! Very clean, very relaxing setting, very fast to get your food. Food was reasonably priced and very delicious. Service was exceptional, the workers are up there with some of the nicest people I have ever met. Will absolutely be coming back again! read more

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. read more

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!

Always great food and kind staff! A little dingy on the inside- but the food is well worth it

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. read more

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. read more

The pho is amazing, as an avid pho lover I can say that this is one of those places you show to your out of town friends as your "pho plug". This was so delicious, and the staff is so incredibly friendly, I will definitely be back here as much as I can! read more

Great authentic pho. We're visiting from LA and the 626 area, well-known hubs for asian food, and Hot Pho really hit the spot when we were getting a little restless from eating mainly American cuisine here in Denver. I read the negative reviews. People are upset by the lack of service and bad veggie broth. But you don't go to an authentic pho place for the service (everyone was perfectly friendly with us) and we got the beef pho so we can't speak to the veggie broth. But first taste of the broth made me smile. The medium size was a generous portion of noodles and meat, which I usually find noodles to be not enough. I was originally asking for a small size and extra noodles, but shop owner recommended the medium for more noodles and meat. Glad I listened! He even gave us this really yummy spicy sauce for our meat too. Overall, this place is as authentic as you can get for traditional beef pho. We didn't order other items, so my review is strictly for the pho! Highly recommend. read more

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! read more

Hot Pho - Rare steak pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

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. read more

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. read more

Hot Pho - Spicy brisket hot pho with meatball - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Let me preface this by saying I have high standards for pho as a Vietnamese American... I was shocked at how good this pho is. I've never seen a "spicy" pho on the menu before, so had to try it. It was amazing. It was the perfect level of spice for a hot taste, but did not overpower the pho broth. The marinated brisket was chef's kiss. I also added meatballs because I love meatballs in pho. I got the egg rolls and caphe sua da to compliment, and they did not disappoint. My family and I can't wait to eat here again! read more

Recently got food here and the service was amazing. Gentleman in the front was so sweet and gave me water and small candies while I waited for my takeout order. Small gestures go a long way. This is a legit viet food. The food is authentic, reminds me of my cousins cooking. read more

DECLICIOUS Pho, very friendly staff/family, and great prices! Would highly recommend and definitely will come again. My fiancé and I were in the area and needed a late lunch fix. We stumbled upon Hot Pho and it didn't disappoint. It's unassuming, quiet, and small but extremely tasty, welcoming, and full of flavor. They have a menu of non-Pho as well so we are planning to come back and try more! read more

Vermicelli dish and rice with spicy beef - GREAT. Super nice folk. Fresh and delicious

I'm not a huge pho person but their spicy broth is amazing! You can add it to any of their pho meat options. A must

This place has new ownership... and they are learning. I've been here over a dozen times and I can see improvements with each visit. I know many wrote about slow and delayed service. They had a hard time hiring help. Where is the compassion for the timing? The inside of the restaurant is simple and there isn't much to see. The service can be a little slow at times. However, the food is memorable. This is seriously the best broth I've had in years. While many pho houses have turned to powered mixes to make the broth, Hot Pho still makes it with bone broth! Seriously! It's authentic broth! They are a family owned business- classic mom and pop. There are some days that are better than others and they recently hired more help. It's places like this that I want to thrive especially with the pandemic making things even harder. They try so hard and you can tell. Be patient- it's worth the wait! Also- if you order to go- the packaging is better than anything I've seen! Yes there's an up charge but look at how much packaging there is and how easy it is to make at home. It's worth a visit for dine in or if you're in a hurry- the takeout is worthwhile too! read more

This is honestly the best pho I think I have ever had. The people that work there are so sweet and always take such amazing care of us, my boyfriend and I live right across the street and make it a point to come as much as we can. The atmosphere is so warm and cozy, and every time we go in they take such good care of us. They even have my order memorized! read more

Tried this tonight and goodness so glad my husband was willing to try a different pho house than our usual. Clean and very friendly staff. We started with the appetizer plate; all was delicious. I had the spicy brisket pho (amazing broth) Rare steak pho, my 14 year old loved it. Spicy marinated rare steak pho (picky husband loved it) yayyyyy!!! Combination pho, my niece raved about the broth. We will be back! read more

Came here because my cousins said it was the best pho he's had. Maybe it was super hyped up by him. But it was okay. It wasn't the best. But it wasn't the worst I had. Our food came out super quick but I mean usually with pho it does. The broth was okay to me. And that's usually what sells me on pho places. Truthfully, I wasn't super impressed. But then again, maybe it was just a little too hyped up for me that I was expecting excellence and I got mediocre. read more

This place was great. I've been to a lot of pho places and this was one of the best. The prices are more than reasonable. For a medium size pho is was 11 dollars which is great. The staff are so nice and they give your a water bottle instead of a cup of water. One of the best hole in the wall places I've ever tried. read more

Strong 4.5. This broth is freaking amazing!!!! The egg rolls were also in point and vegetarian. So why only 4.5? Weelllll my noodles were over cooked. I just do not like over cooked noodles at all. Hubby had a medium combo bowl and I had a kids rare steak. Both were enough to fill us up easily. I didn't even finish half my noodles. But again, they were over cooked. All in all we will definitely be back when we're in the a read more

The waiter was incredibly rude to us. We came in (2 moms with 2 babies), there was only 1 other customer in there. The older waiter acted from the start like we were offending him with our presence. Food was ok, price was great- but don't bother with this place. The other mom gave him a low tip and his behavior got even worse. I gave a 20% tip because babies make a mess. But I'm astonished at what an a-hole he was. I thought about saying something to his face but didn't want to risk conflict with a 1 year old in my arms. No wonder it was quite empty at lunchtime!! read more

This is the best place for pho that I have found around Westminster. The broth actually stands on its own. Everywhere else I have tried, the broth tastes as if it's been watered down. Not here. It's excellent and full of flavor. Portion size is great. Flavor is great. This place doesn't seem to have a big online presence, but It's definitely worth stopping in and eating there or taking it to go. read more

I rarely really do any review, but when i find a decent Pho restaurant, gotta let people know. Summer RollsSummer RollsThe place recently changed owner, and they are much better now, from cleanliness to the quality of food to the taste! My bf is picky with pho but he like the broth here and so did I! It taste very traditional! When I asked the owner, they use beef bones to get the flavor which is what we do for homemade pho. I got combination noodle bowl and it was filled to the rim! With plenty of meat of different kind, crispy eggrolls and fresh veggies! We also got the Summer Roll with grilled beef, and there was so much flavor! Overall, will definitely recommend and come back for more next time! read more

We were seated after being advised that they were very busy and it would take some time to order. Didn't stick around. I didn't eat here because the place looked unsanitary. Tables were filthy.

My husband and I ordered out from this place and it was awful. I ordered the combination bowl (bun dak biet). The meat was obviously charred and the two shrimp were so over cooked they were reduced to smaller than a marble. As if this wasn't bad enough I found the real hair in my bowl. It was awful!!! We went there because of the good reviews but something was really bad on the night we were there. read more
