    My boyfriend is Viet so I've had lots of Viet food BY FAR this has become our favorite restaurant. Unique foods I only eat at grandmas house is here and it's FIRE! Service was kind and efficient, made sure we had a good table when they noticed someone strange try to come into the restaurant. Pricing was reasonable and worth it for how good the food is. Try the avocado smoothie and Viet coffee!

    your typical Vietnamese restaurant wide and loud. when we walk in at noon the place is packed and they only have two serve running around. Finally we got a place to sit. It must be very authentic since most costumer are Vietnamese. We order what our friend recommended the combo noodle soup. There was so much MEAT!! The soup was very flavorful and minting. Next time I think I will order just the BEEF. The pork was a bit hard to chew. Will definitely be back!!!

    Consistent, reasonably priced, and food is made with SO much love! This place is my go to once a month atleast or four times a month HAHA. The Bun Bo Hue is out of this world, I always have leftovers. It reminds me of home. Service is good, slower on BUSY days but they do their best. So friendly and helpful! I love the vibes here, you'll always see families here eating together!

    This is a fast casual place with great food. As I walked in I was greeted quickly and told I could pick my own seat. I spent a lot of time looking at the menu and no one bothered me. When I put the menu down, someone came by to ask if I was ready to order. I had the HS10 mi quang. The food came out fairly quickly and it was delicious! I am not too sure how authentic it is because I've never had it before. O lien offers lots of different vietnamese dishes that I don't usually see. I would definitely reccommend checking this place out! I will be back.

    Good place for Central Vietnamese dishes! Quick service and it has the ambiance of the classic Vietnamese restaurants you'd go to growing up in Southern CA! Def check out when you're in the area!

    Holy moly they weren't kidding this is the best bun Bo hue and combination noodles bowl I ever had. It's hard to find a good authentic delicious bun bo hue in Colorado but this place nails it with loads of meat and pipping hot broth! The combination noodle bowl had PERFECT ratio of noodles and meat. Most viet places just top the bowl with meat making it look it has a good amount of meat but it's just one layer on top. This place puts meat throughout the whole bowl. And cooked to perfection. Finally found one of the BEST Vietnamese places in Colorado. It's a must go.

    Is this the best Vietnamese restaurant in Denver? It honestly might be. O Lien Kitchen is tucked away in Southwest Denver and it delivers. The service was superb. The food was very delicious and satisfying for a cold Denver evening. The che was on point, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. This spot is definitely worth going to!

    My friend was visiting from LA and we were craving something Vietnamese to get. There are so many cool Viet restaurants in the area and I didn't know what to offer her (I just moved here from California). This place is awesome with modern decor and high ceilings! (I hate feeling stuffy) We (me, my cousin, and my friend) were hanging downtown and saw that O Lien wasn't too far. The restaurant is right off Federal Blvd not too far away so we came. We tried the Banh Beo Chen to start...such a fun dish to try! It was delicious! My friend from LA is a Viet girl, so she's particular about her dish. When the waiter told her that the restaurant's Bun Bo Hue is super popular, she ordered it (she's a BBH fan). I ordered the Pho combo, while my cousin ordered combo rice plate. We both loved our food! My friend tho, was telling us about how this was the best BBH she's ever had! That's awesome! Come try it!!!

    This place has been on my list of Vietnamese restaurants to try for quite a while, and finally made it! It was recommended by the owner of Savory Vietnam, my former favorite Vietnamese restaurant when they closed. They have an extensive menu with a variety of authentic and harder to find Vietnamese dishes. The bun bo hue was amazing, flavorful broth, quality ingredients, and large portion! Some say it's the best in Denver. (I don't disagree, although I still have more places to try.) I ordered the beef rib version. They have various versions with other protein choices, as well as a king bun bo hue which combines everything if you are really hungry! A regular customer I dined with recommended the crab udon, so I'll have to come back and try that!

    A solid Vietnamese restaurant with a variety of dishes! The steamed appetizers are a must. It is the best thing about this place. They have good BBH as well.

    I loved them for the quality deliciousness that was easily accessible when shopping at Viet Hoa. I was really bummed they closed and found out a few months later they planned to open at a stand alone location. Haven't had the chance to try them until recently and boy was I missing them?! I don't know if other people get excited as I do when I see "nice ice" in the water... some people call them sonic ice? But I was excited for sure. Easily pleased I suppose. Their rocket shrimp is a must order for me every time and I swear their shrimp has gotten bigger from their Viet Hoa days. They missed our order at first and I appreciate the staff owning up to it when I followed up. Appreciate them for being honest and quickly resolve the situation. I got my shrimp fix for sure and they really hit the spot. Customer service is top notch! My partner ordered the Mi Quang H10 and I ordered the Bun Rieu. Both are so amazing. I remembered loving their blood cake and I added an extra order for my H11 Bun Rieu. They make those in house and you can tell they are fresh as it doesn't have a strong taste. The restaurant is clean, large enough to host a karaoke party or just a party. So happy to see their come up... from literally a small stall in a supermarket to a huge spot. Congratulations O Lien, hope to see you growing strong!

    They have the best BBH in Colorado and I also really like their banh beo! Everything is so flavorful here and I always crave it. It's your typical no frills Vietnamese restaurant and I haven't had one thing that I didn't like here. It's a pretty big spot with lots of seating and the service is always top tier.

    Wow, been wanting to check this spot out as it is 5 minutes from my house and so glad we did! Super fresh and tasty, quick service and relaxed ambiance! Found my new go too for bowls! The combination bowl was delicious!!

    It's been a long time coming but Dan Da is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Colorado…read moreand probably in the US. When you think of Vietnamese, Americans tend to think of Pho, noodle bowls and lemongrass chicken but we need more places the focuses in home cooking and dishes that locals eat. Ingredients are fresh and dishes pack a powerful flavor bomb...I mean wow! The use of shrimp paste and other traditional ingredients really elevate flavors that many Americans are not used to, but you have to try it to understand. Their claypots are a must order and with a side of rice....you'll be eating for days! The star of the night was the pork and calamari claypot which is cooked in shrimp paste and your favorite Vietnamese spices and herbs. You'll finish bowls of rice with this dish, it packs so much flavor that you'll be wanting more. It's a great mix of salty, sweet and umami from the fermented shrimp paste. The Vietnamese curry was thick and packed with succulent shrimp. The veggies at a very nice brightness to balance out the coconut milk. The last dish we had was a shrimp lemon grass in the clay pot and that was also a hit with everyone! Service is amazing and they definitely know how to recommend dishes to match your taste buds. They went out of the way to help everyone and it shows. If you need a new spot, check Dan Da!

I tried the banana coconut rum cake (hit the spot even though I'm not a big rum cake fun), and couldn't resist adding two cookies: the brown butter chocolate chip and the banana cookie. Both were excellent, but the banana cookie was a standout; it tasted just like banana bread, which I love. They were sadly sold out of the banana cream pie brioche donut, so I'll definitely be back earlier next time to snag one.

I had a dinner reservation for 1 at 5:30pm on a Sunday night. First off, I appreciate that they let me have a table seat to myself. I know a lot of places that want solo diners at the bar. My waitress was absolutely perfect, she gave me such excellent recommendations and really helped shape my meal. Everything she recommended was fantastic. I had 3 dishes, because I wanted to try everything. I would've been fine with 2, since these portion sizes were pretty generous, but I just had to. My first dish was the trứng và trứng - soft scrambled egg, brown butter, fish sauce, trout roe, rice. This was so comforting, so homey, so warm. It was exactly what I needed after a long weekend of working. Get this. My second dish was the tàu hũ ky cuộn tôm - shrimp cake, butter, trout roe, mint. You're probably thinking this is like a fried crab cake, but it wasn't. There's basically no breadcrumbs in this, so it's more like when you get shrimp paste at hot pot. It was so tender, moist, and so flavorful. And of course, my veggie choice was the bắp cải luộc - charred cabbage, anchovy breadcrumbs, egg yolk. My waitress had said this was basically if they put charred cabbage on top of the filling in a deviled egg and she was right. This was so good. If you're into deviled eggs at all, get this.

Well that's how I felt this morning, so VinaMeals was where I ended. I ordered two items, so join me and read my food journey... Just had bánh ít tràn, a Vietnamese, steamed sticky rice dumplings dish. This dish reminds me of my mom's cooking where she used to make us this dish all the time to eat for breakfast. Lots ingredients inside the these three dumplings including mung bean, wood ear mushroom, jicama carrot, onion, garlic, minced with pork and shrimp. It came with steamed bean sprouts, cucumber, and fish sauce to dip the dumplings or just pour over the dish. I felt the accommodating items didn't add any value to this dish, but boy, did these dumplings bring back good memory. Of course, when you are here, you have to get their small wonton soup. It is one of the best I have ever eaten. I believe the broth that is the star, and the wontons come very close but just a second too late. This small soup is very filling, and I always wonder if adding a bowl of plain rice into the soup will make this dish a complete meal. We will have to find out later. As I am sitting here writing this review, I am truly enjoying the atmosphere. Listening to the music over my head, I am sing a little bit too loud, louder than mouthing the words. My head is moving from side to side, and my feet are tapping. I found my happiness here even though we leapt/spring one hour ahead earlier today.
