Location directions and storefront.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

Service is a little sketchy. The concept of getting the appetizer out before the main course seems to be lost on these folks.

it was ok. I hoped that a family owned Pho would be better than the chain but it wasn't better than Pho 104.

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.

Service was decent, like any fast casual. Nothing to call home for - they take your order and bring you the food. You get your own water/fountain drinks... and you get your own sprouts and basil at the station. The veggies were fresh and love that you can get as much as you want. You also get your own utensils and napkins. The amount of food you get for the order was plenty. I love the stainless steel bowls vs melamine at some other places. The not so good: The pho overall was decent but way over seasoned. I probably could have asked for a cup of hot water but they were looking to close 50 mins before the closing hour posted... so I hustled. The over seasoning has happened the last few times I've been here... I think maybe they are tailored to the local palate. The lady went around and cleaned up the tables around us when we were eating, I'm not sure what was in the solutions she was spraying vigorously around us, but made me feel nervous about the spray getting in my bowl of soup. Maybe it's her way of making us eat faster. Lastly, the last few times I've been, the floor was extremely slippery... it's one thing if I'm just sitting and enjoying my food, it's another when I have to go grab my own stuff and put my plates away. Definitely a hazard for the customers. I did notice a lot of their business is from take out so maybe not as big of deal... but if I have been here mid day, afternoon and evening... all are slippery... they might need to look into better cleaning methods for their floors. Maybe I'll come by to try the banh mi next time and skip their soups....

I've had Pho in many places in Colorado, other states, and abroad. #PhoConnoisseur…read more This is the best Pho in Colorado. Hands down. As someone who lived in Asia for 3 years... this is as legit as it gets. The service was very fast, restaurant was clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. THIS IS THE HOLE IN THE WALL SPOT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. The Rare Steak + Brisket Pho was just perfect. The meat portions in the restaurant were VERY generous. They did not skimp out on it. The meat was also VERY clean. Some Pho places give you really fatty meat pieces with gristle and such.... not here! The meat had the perfect amount of meat, and just the right amount of light fat to melt in your mouth -kind of like a good KBBQ spot. 12/10 recommend.

When we arrived, we noticed their sign proclaiming them the "Best Pho in Westminster." We ordered the mushroom pho, but when our meals arrived, there wasn't a single mushroom in sight. When we asked about it, our server told us they had run out of mushrooms and had substituted extra vegetables instead. It would have been nice to be informed before the order was served or given the opportunity to choose something else. Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be any extra vegetables either, just a small amount of carrots and broccoli. Overall, the meal was disappointing and certainly didn't live up to the restaurant's claim of being the best pho in Westminster. The place itself could also benefit from a thorough cleaning.
