This was my go-to pho spot during the pandemic! I loved ordering the Grilled Pork Vermicelli. Years later, I finally came here in-person and got actual pho. It was delicious. Flavorful broth, plenty of meat, and fast service. Lots of seating around the restaurant. There's so many pho places in Denver, and this is definitely Top 5 for me. Incredible that there's even a parking lot right outside. read more

Disgusting. Ordered from this place and my thai tea is as light as my white ass skin. Pho broth unseasoned, too fatty, noodles cold and stuck together. Layer of weird foam all over my broth. Ive been on the hunt for the best pho in denver and this place is Faaarrr from even half decent read more

Lakeside Pho - Thai tea but wheres the tea. Its 90% cream - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The pho is top notch. Great Rich broth along with fresh veggies reasonably priced. The Vietnamese egg rolls are also very tasty.

Ordered Uber Eats. Banh Mi grilled pork was good. Huge sandwich, lots of filling. Downside the bread wasn't toasted too much and ended up being a little soggy. Combination rice plate was awesome. Lots of fresh veggies and the chicken was moist and delicious. read more

Hands down the best pho I have ever had in Denver! Ordered a surf n turf pho and a combination pho with spicy broth for pick-up. The broth has a perfect amount of spice, just enough to clear your sinuses! The meat was nice and tender and really delicious! It was really easy to order online and their menu was clear and simple Our order was ready within 20min. Picking it up was easy as well. In and out in about 3-5min and the lady up front was very kind and welcoming. There was plenty of seating and the place looked really clean. We got home and noticed that our order was wrong and got 2 surf n turfs instead. I called them to explain the situation and they were very helpful and apologetic and made sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be coming back! 10/10 read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my husband, mother-in-law, and my brothers in law. They ordered combination five, rare steak for and I ordered the spicy vegetarian pie. Two of us also enjoyed Boba drinks. I had the taro Boba and my brother-in-law had the honeydew. The combination pho and rare steak pho were above average. The broth was tasty but a little bit water down? All the ingredients inside were fresh and delicious as well as the herbs and accompaniments. I had the spicy vegetarian pho and oh my goodness it was amazingly delicious!!!!! That broth is everything. I enjoy the veggies and the fried tofu but it's the same as any other place. There was cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and onion. But the broth was a little bit spicy, very flavorful and unctuous. It was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be craving this and will be definitely coming back for more. read more

In the search of good eats, I unfortunately have to give this place a rather meager rating. While the staff, the locale, the ambiance us actually really nice, the pho and the coffee (the two items i came specifically for) was lacking in quality overall. Not saying it was bad, it just didnt quite hit the mark. To me the broth was missing alot of the normal spices that you'd find in traditional viet broth, in short it was a bit bland and just a bit salty. The viet coffee is premade which is ok but it would be nice to have authentic flavors. Would I go back? Sure. There are plenty other dishes that pique my interest. Their spring rolls and my friend's vermicelli dish was really tasty so I would still recommend to come visit. read more

Food was amazing and so flavorful !!! I came from California craving Pho and I came across this place on Apple Maps and I'm so glad I came ! Service was also amazing and kind and I love how beautifully decorated this place is ! Definitely coming back here when I come back to Colorado ! read more

Food: 50/50 Service: 25/25 Ambience: 25/25 Total: 100/100 Came here for the first time tonight with a friend and we loved it! The pho broth was perfect to warm up on this cold snowy night. The veggie dumplings are the bomb dot com. Parking is on the side of the building, or street. When you walk in from theres a counter to the left and the menu. You order at the counter. The lady was really nice and handling calls, taking orders and running out the food. needless to say it was busy. After you order and pay its pick your own seating and the food comes to you. Overall fire food and Definitely will come back :) read more

Talk about a hidden gem! This unassuming restaurant is tucked on the side of an uncomfortably busy street. But wow, this food surprised us. Wife absolutely loved the flavorful pho.

I haven't left a bad review in 2 years because I will give a place at least another try before saying it sucks. I try to be very fair in my reviews but MAN, this restaurant needs to do better. We ordered take out: 2 Spicy Vegetarian Pho + Fried Tofu Bahn Mi + Veggie Eggrolls + Spicy Garlic Edamame. We have eaten at dozens of pho restaurants, in case that matters. It arrived with everything packed well except for the toppings. They just threw all of them into a large bag, tied it up, and left everything to steam. Might be a good idea to add those to a small box so people don't have to fish through the bag to find what they want, especially since the bean sprouts were covering a lot of other items. The tofu bahn mi was equivalent to a Walmart deli version of the masterpiece served at Vinh Xuong. Egg rolls looked nice and crispy yet were undercooked and had a strange taste. Oh yeah :( The pho... phock no! It is made with what I believe is angel hair pasta (or similar.) It soaked the broth up so fast.. it became inedible as the noodles became mushy. I will spare you the photos of those. The broth itself lacked flavor, and they added cauliflower which I think is odd, even in a veggie pho. The star of the mostly untouched meal was the edamame, which had a great seasoning and was addictive! Not sure how it has the rating it does. I'll assume everyone was literally dying of starvation before eating and presumably immediately reviewing due to relief at having finally eaten. read more

Great food and customer service. One of the best Vietnamese in Denver! Always friendly, and the restaurant is clean and nice atmosphere!

Honestly I came with high hopes for this place. However, the pho noodles were clumped together and the pho broth was extremely flavorless almost like water. I've tried many pho spots and they all taste similar in flavor just some stronger than others but this place was unlike any other, lacking in flavor. The drink machine did not dispense ice and the cup was extremely chipped from the rim. I also got pork buns that were a bit too salty from the sauce and the bun itself was definitely not as soft as it should be. My boba drink was disappointing as it was too sweet and the boba was old and melty. The service was nice and fast, while the restraint itself was decent looking. Overall, I do regret trying this place out but the people were nice. read more

The tradition pho is AMAZING. Absolutely flavorful & delicious. Generous portions of basil & cilantro!

Lakeside Pho was absolutely delicious and a bang for your buck! For whatever reason my husband really wanted pho (he's more of a ramen guy). So I looked through my bookmarks and found Lakeside Pho which just so happens to be pretty close by. I ordered their combo noodle bowl and spicy garlic edamame. It was SO good, SO filling, and SO worth every penny! The spicy garlic edamame was so addictive and by far some of the best edamame I've had. Just the right amount of heat and then a great punch of garlic. Next time I will have to try their pho since I'm always on the lookout for good pho! read more

PHO-TASTIC hands-down, the best pho I've ever tasted! I like to get the veggie, and this one was rich in several different vegetables and the flavor of the broth was absolutely perfect, you can taste the ginger, cinnamon, anise and clove...key elements in pho broth! Super cheap especially for Denver food! Highly recommend. Stop by on your way through town.!! read more

Decent food. The tofu was really good and well seasoned. I feel like the dish needed more sauce as the noodles aren't cooked in any sauce. They did give a side of this sweet and sour vinegar type sauce for the dish but it was not enough for the amount of food you get and I feel like it's more of a dipping sauce then something you'd want all over your food. I feel like the meal was quite bland because of this. The tofu was really the star of the dish and I'd go back just for that. I also got a Thai iced tea which tasted okay. Wasn't a super strong tea and milk flavored compared to one's I have had at other restaurants. I think I will go back to try their pho soup. The place was very clean and they were nice. read more

The spinach and cheese wontons are amazing! The pho is great as well. The atmosphere is cute a cozy.

I am terrified to venture out and try new places. Today friends chose this place and I just "went with it." I walked in and did feel a little overwhelmed due to the ordering board. For a newbie like myself I had no clue what to get. I do wished they had a paper menu. The clerk/server was very kind though and suggested I go to their website to see pictures for next times order. The restaurant was very simply decorated but warm and inviting for our party of 4. I ordered the Chicken Pho with extra veggies. When it arrived at my table it was piping hot, freshly washed veggie toppings were alongside the aromatic steaming broth. Thankfully my friends knew how to assemble Pho. I had a little bit of an idea lol but their assistance and suggestions made it very tasty. I would definitely recommend Lakeside Pho! I will be back, thank you! read more

Lakeside Pho - Shredded Chicken Pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Excellent Pho. Fast casual format. Lots of choices. There is a lot to really like about this place. The key things for me at a Pho place are: 1) a solidly flavorful broth, 2) fresh veggies, 3) not over-cooking the noodles, and 4) good quality meat. Lakeside Pho checks all of these boxes. The duck Pho was a nice change of pace, and a good choice. The meatball was generous, and although a touch more rustic than I expected, very good. The service was good on our visit. I will definitely be back. If I had to justify 4 stars versus 5, it would be that the pricing seemed a touch high, when compared to traditional Pho restaurants. Some of this is due to large/medium being the default size/price (with $1 off if you go smaller). read more

Hearty portions? Very untrue. Ordered a large steak bowl. Extra onions. Extra Steak. Paid extra. Utensils please.... Somehow! I got little to no onions! NO extra steak. No Utensils. Rice noodles that didn't even fill up the container they were in! Bone broth that only filled my small homemade ceramic pho bowl. This was suppose to be a LARGE. No soy sauce packets, no Teriyaki or Sriracha. I am SO disappointed. I didn't know you could mess up Pho this bad!!! read more

Wonderful food!! Excellent for takeout or lunch at their restaurant! A must try!! Highly recommend, it's my go to.

Aggressively mid. Why is the Denver food scene so disappointing? chicken pho was uninspiring. Vietnamese iced coffee tasted minty? Potstickers were mushy. I'm beginning to think that Denver folk are unable to leave accurate ratings read more

Had a fantastic meal here!! 10/10 would recommend!! I got the Meatball pho. Easy dish. Very flavorful and exceeded my expectations! The pot stickers were tasty, spring rolls super yummy and the Boba milk tea is spectacular. Ambiance was spot on for the day. This will be one of my new food spots for sure!! We eat a lot of Pho in the winter. Staff were super nice the place was very clean. You have to try it! Considering we ate out for Christmas this really was a pleasing choice! read more

I ordered takeout from lakeside pho on a Sunday evening. The order was ready very quickly which I liked, but I didn't love the actual flavor of the soup and meat. The way that it was packaged to go was underwhelming and put some distaste in my mouth. I would absolutely give a second shot with dine In. read more

Quick and polite service from the staff! The combination Rice dish was one of the best I've had, the lemon grass chicken and other meats were so flavorful! The crispy egg rolls had a different wrapper than I am used to, but the end result was still a great egg roll that I would eat again! The combination pho was good for a rainy day! Good chill vibes and clean restaurant! read more

Whewwwww. What I just ate was DDDDDDDDelicious. I got the combination noodle bowl. Chicken, beef, and pork oh my! The portion size, which you can see from my photo is excellent. Everything from the sauce to the egg rolls had delicious flavor. I think they put crunchy onions on top which makes for a nice texture when you take a bite of the medley. I didn't realize Vietnamese food was so delicious. I have only ever had pho. Which I love but I am always hungry later. They serve pho there too and I plan on going back and trying that on a colder day. But for now, I will be getting the combination noodle bowl from on. I'm still enjoying the flavors in my mouth long after I've finished the meal. The mint leaves with the noodles were just divine. Good job Lakeside Pho. I love supporting local restaurants. read more

My friends and I tried this place for the first time recently. We heard the food here was hoppin' and wow were the rumors right! Lakeside Pho is small: Only a few tables available, all at safe distances from other parties. Size doesn't matter in this case. Where it DOES matter is the food bowls. I ordered the Marinated Beef Pho, and BISCUITS, it was big! Same goes for the vermicelli bowls my friends ordered. Heaping portions of meat and goodies! My only criticism for my order was that I would have loved more cilantro to add to my bowl (personal preference). Everything else was delicious and satisfying. The veggie rolls were nice and crispy on the outside yet almost too mushy inside. The order comes with four, so don't be deceived by my photo--I dug in before realizing I hadn't taken a picture! Plus they come in an adorable, wee boat!! Also, if you love Thai tea, TREAT YO'SELF. They make it perfectly-balanced here. Great for helping put out the fire of Sriracha, if you're like me and end up adding a little too much in your bowl. Ordering was easy with their screens behind the register. We appreciated the well-laid-out and simple menu. Sometimes restaurants offer too many options, but Lakeside Pho does it right. Staff are very nice and were quick to bring out our meals. Their efficiency was incredible! I watched as multiple pickup & takeout orders cycled through, and it seemed like the wait time was nearly nil. I left happily full. Hours later, I found myself pondering if it would be too self-indulgent to eat here again the following day. xD Looking forward to trying the vermicelli combo next time! read more

Pick up during the time of Covid-19. Recommended. Easy ordering via phone. Was ready when I arrived. She repeated the entire order. (But, someone in the kitchen decided we would get rice instead of noodles. Oh, well.) It is very clean and tidy. Masks worn. The food is quite good. Shrimp spring rolls. Large and fresh. Grilled chicken with rice. Very flavorful and tender chicken. Duck fried rice. Tender duck. The portion sizes are decent. P.S. No one gets 5 stars on first visit. read more

Nice people and nice clean place. Lots of menu options. Food came quickly and seemed fresh, lots of veggies, but my noodle bowl was a little bit bland compared to what I've had at other places, and my pho-eating companions said the same. Cafe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee) came in a big plastic cup premixed, which I've never experienced before! That made a big portion and no waiting but I like the more traditional (in America) way of waiting. read more

Our usual pho spot was closed yesterday so we searched for something new and landed on Lakeside Pho. We ordered take out. The toppings really do all arrive in one bag so you have to fish around for things you want. I ordered vegetarian pho with tofu. My partner ordered rare beef steak pho. We also ordered Vietnamese egg rolls. It all seemed normal ... rice noodles, veggie, tofu, etc Everything seemed to taste fine ... except my partner was awake puking all night. The only difference in what we ate was the rare beef steak he ate. We called to let them know and they did not offer a refund. They just said they would make a note. read more
