Going to be honest, I would be less angry right now if the food wasn't so good. Waited for what felt like an eternity on simple fried rice. They made me late for an appointment. Woman behind the counter was very rude. On top of that, there is a "to go fee" that I did not know about. Can't stress enough the food was really good, but I don't think I would ever come back here. read more

This was our first time here because they just opened. Everything was AMAZING! The restaurant and bathrooms were extremely clean, which is how we determine where we will eat... The food was outstanding, and the service was excellent!! I highly recommend! read more

We were there for 25min and no one took our order because a party showed up i guess it's about priorities

Kind, fast service! Delicious food, especially when it is chilly outside! 10/10 recommend.

Took my parents here for pho, as I wanted to try a different pho place. We got here close to 8 pm and there was hardly anyone, which was great. The place is casual and clean. The waiter was very nice but the service was lacking. It took a very long time for our food and to go order. There were only 3 people operating. I think when we got there, the place was supposed to be closed at 8 pm but they allowed us to eat. Also, there were quite a few others who came in after us too so the place started to pick up. I understood that there were only 3 of them and we were patient. If it was a lot busier and I had to get elsewhere, then I think I would've been very impatient. Anyways, we placed our order for 2 eggroll appetizers, 3 pho orders, and a chicken fried rice to go. The eggroll appetizer was good. The eggrolls are not your typical size cut into pieces. They are tiny rolled eggrolls cut in halves. The pho broth was decent, but they were not really generous on the pho noodles. My mom and I had a medium order and my dad had a small order. From the looks of the sizes, a large order of pho would've been the right size to order here. The chicken fried rice was delicious, per my son. When I went to pay my bill which came out to be 98 dollars with tips, I just thought it was over priced for what we had and the quantity of each dish. I understand it is a mom and pop restaurant and would love to see them continue to succeed. Like I said, food was all delicious. Come here, ONLY, if you have a lot of patience to wait, don't have places to get to afterwards, and looking to generously spend here. Hopefully, they can make some changes as the staff is nice. Times are hard, I get it, but gotta keep the customers somewhat satisfied too. Good luck to this place. read more

Egg drop soup was really good for me. I come here sometimes just for that soup. The vermicelli with shrimp was very good too. The place is sad to me. Nobody is ever here it seems like. The service is lacking but they try. And the inside might as well be in Viet Nam. It's like eating in a warehouse. BUT, I still like the egg drop soup and the vermicelli with large shrimp. Hope they make it and modernize. read more

This place was simply amazing! The owner was wonderful lovely, she did a great job at explaining everything. We ordered two different types of Ramen soups, fried rice and some egg rolls. The food was fresh, fantastic and filling. I am looking forward to coming back here. read more

Pho 81 - Egg drop soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

Terrible food! Took forever to even get our food and the rice was moosh and so was the sesame chicken. Pretty sure they cooked it yesterday and just heated it up when we got there. read more

First time trying this place, the atmosphere could definitely be improved! Only two other tables in the place with people eating, it was dead silent. There is no ambiance, no decor, no personality to the place. The service isn't top notch by any means but they are friendly. There was slight language barrier but they try and they were funny! The food was actually pretty good! I got the orange chicken and Lo mein noodles it was delicious! Our friends got the pho which they loved! Pork fried rice wasn't bad either. I would definitely order food from them again but probably get as takeout! read more

Pho 81 - Orange chicken and lo mein noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

This place has good spring rolls and pho. They have pretty good thai tea and bobas too. I dont know why so many give bad ratings. Yes, from time to time you will get something that maybe was expired in a can, it could have been on the back of the shelf or something. Give them a break. For the most part the pho ingredients have been fresh for the couple of years that we have been dining here. And it seems like one family runs it. So, I wouldn't expect fast service. It's just about being realistic with expectations, especially during this pandemic. Most food establishments could not keep all of their staff, some shutting down entirely. Pack some patience and empathy, people. read more

family restaurant food was great. I stopped in town for a day enjoyed myself. We are a flop

I wanted to try this place because I didn't believe the reviews, but unfortunately 2.5 stars is accurate. The pho is avg; harder noodles than others, broth is okay, we counted 7-8 pieces of meat in a large P1? We also got egg rolls; great taste but rather tough to chew and undercooked. We also got a Thai tea boba; tea was good, boba was overcooked (mushy and fell apart in my mouth in an unpleasant way). read more

This place is horrible, don't waste your precious time or money. People working there are jokes. Was told food would take 20-30 mins for the two of us, didn't come out for a hour, was told multiple times after 25 mins that it would just be a few more minutes. Another couple and a family of four came in after us, both were served before us. Surprise surprise the food was worse than the service. This place doesn't even deserve one star. I hope this reaches everyone before they go waste their hard earned money on this crap!!! This place needs to be shut down! Immediately! read more

This is my favorite pho place in Colorado. The owners make the most delicious food and have the best service. The ambiance of the restaurant is very relaxing and you feel as though you are family. read more

Almost choked on a piece of plastic that was inside the dumplings, when I pointed it out to the server she refused to take the plate away and just threw away the plastic, and promised their wouldn't be anymore plastic in the remaining dumplings. On top of that she still charged me for them after I had told her I didn't want them anymore. read more

Delicious food, kind people, clean place, and great energy. We ordered the spring rolls, egg rolls, chicken pho, steak and flank pho and the Vietnamese sandwich (pork). Everything was a 10/10. We will be back! read more

Three stars maybe, my wife and I decided to order some PHO before seeing a movie. I had beef and tripe she had beef and extra shrimp. She had three pieces of meat and two baby shrimp ($3.00 extra) and very few noodles. And I had three small pieces of meat and hardly any noodles at all. Ughhh on a Saturday night At 6:00 I really hope this place improves. I'm not one to go be three stars but the three are well deserved. Please change my members next time Yep we decided to give this place another try and it still sucks read more

I would give it 0 stars but unfortunately that's not an option . One of the employees thought it was okay to stick her bare hands into my mothers soup after she made a complaint that the meat wasn't fresh, she also demanded that my mom pay for the tampered soup that she didn't even enjoy. Not even two bites were taken out of said soup. Oh but the hospitality doesn't stop there, she proceeds to follow my mom out to her car and ATTACK her before taking some of her personal items and refusing to give them back until the police arrived and asked her multiple times to give it back. This is not okay in even the slightest manner and that woman deserves to either be fired, arrested, institutionalized or all of the above. read more

Really bad. Service was very slow. Food was not good. I did not eat any of the meat. It was all fat, and the piece that I ripped off of the fat to try, tasted like mystery meat. The kids plates were very small. Rice is cheap, if they aren't going to give you a full serving of chicken they could atleast give you a decent portion of rice. There was maybe half a cup. I feel bad leaving negative reviews for family owned places, but not happy spending $70 on lunch and we were all still hungry. read more

Pho 81 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

Stopped in here for dinner to grab a quick bite. The owner greeted us as we walked in asking if we were dining in or taking out. I mentioned we were dining in and she said to sit anywhere. We grabbed the first table and waited for her to take our order. From across the restaurant she yelled to ask us what we wanted. The only time she came to our table was to bring the food. While the service was lacking the food was edible. My real issue came when it was time to pay. She told me my total and ran my card. Then I asked for the itemized receipt. When I looked it over she charged $2.00 extra for well I'm not sure what, it just said extra side. And the total after that was still $.50 less than what she charged. After asking her about this, she pointed to a small sign that said they charge an extra $1.00 per meal and .$50 per app. So, she still over charged me by $1.00. While $1 is nothing in the grand scheme of things, it's the dishonesty that I want others to beware of. read more

Unbelievably slow service! They got my order wrong would fix it and still made me pay for it. Ended up paying almost 30 dollars for a order of spring rolls. Save you gut and stay away from this place! read more

1. Trash piled up against dining room wall 2. Mushy/gross noodles 3. The hostess/waitress made us yell our order across the dining room 4. The hostess/waitress never once checked on us during our meal 5. The prices they attempted to charge me were $1.00 higher than what was listed on the menu read more

I was sat up facing a wall and was ignored for about 10minutes before a lukewarm water was dropped off on my table. Spring rolls arrived, still no utensils. Large pho w/ extra meat was very unfulfilling. I would not come back nor would I recommend. read more

This pho place receives two stars from me. The service is not the best, we arrived to the place being slightly busy but waited over 30 min before we were attended by waiter. I do not recommend the appetizers, I ordered wontons and dumplings and was very disappointed with the mediocre quality and taste. Pho was ok, could have been better. read more

Best pho I've had since Seattle! Wow. The egg rolls are unbelievably good. The broth was amazing. The staff was funny, welcoming, and knowledgeable. My husband had the bahn mi, and said it was one of the best he's ever had. This place is great. I wish we lived closer! read more

Man, this place is cheap! I mean they cheap out on ingredients and portion! They pho tai small is SMALL. I usually can't finish this size at other places so I share with the hubby but I ate it by myself and I was still kind of hungry! I had already eaten one of the spring rolls too! Oh, the spring rolls are the skinniest ones I had ever seen! See photo of it taken with a chopstick for reference. The boba smoothie had FIVE boba in them. We counted. The beef rice platter also looked sad. Slivers of beef slices. Flavors were not repulsive but not exactly on point either. One word: CHEAPSKATES! Not coming back. Ever. Did I mention that the lady asked me if I wanted to use the same spoon with the peanut sauce (that I put on top of the empty plats to be taken away) when I reached for a new spoon for my pho? Yeah...no. $26 = tiny pho, skinniest spring rolls I have ever seen, sad shaving of beef with a HUGE mound of rice, and smoothie with 5 boba. We are still hungry. read more

Pho 81 - Skinny spring rolls. One was too hard (old). - Vietnamese Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

With high hopes of finding decent pho in Brighton I stopped in for lunch today, unfortunately I was left searching. I ordered vietnamese egg rolls and a medium pho. The egg rolls were pretty good but lacked quality fixings and they skimped on the fish sauce at delivery. The pho was obviously thrown together with a large clump of pre-prepared noodles and a near flavorless broth. Meat was almost non-existent and it just seemed lacking. The kicker that dropped them from 3 stars to 2 was the sanitation (or lack there of) factor. When I went for the classic garlic-chili paste I found it in one of the old parmesian cheese shakers (this place used to be an italian food place) On the front of the jar was a sticker that says "unscrew the lid and scoop" which really isn't a big deal. Unforunatly under the lids was black and nasty and the lid was rusting. Super gross and unsanitary. I was going to post a picture but I didn't think it was appropriate. Needless to say, take a drive. There is plent of good pho in Denver. read more

Nice place. I came for lunch on a Saturday and I was the only person there. That made me nervous, almost left. Glad I didn't. Nice lady working there. I had the lunch combo, beef broccoli and egg roll. Lots of flavor. 7 bucks! It's a little dated and could use a coat of paint but this place has survived a year the COVID across the street from movie theater, it's amazing it's still open. I'll be back here to try to help it stay open! read more

I come here all the time and there food is great, especially there pho and fried rice!!

What a horrible place. Service was atrocious place was not very clean and the wontons were fried solid with absolutely nothing inside them as were the dumplings. Way overcooked. No one ever came by with water and when I brought up them having nothing in them she said oh they open sometimes. And she charged me for the wontons. I would never eat here again. Movie popcorn would be a better choice. read more

Pho 81 - Vietnamese Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

Me and my boyfriend were very excited to try a new place closer to home but we're immensely disappointed. I really had high hopes for this place and was definitely let down. To start the pho bowl was about half full. The meat was almost 100% fat. The boba was disgusting and had no flavor. We sat here for 30 min before we got our food. The service was so slow and we will never go back. Don't waste your time go to a different place for any food. read more

I hate writing this review as I adore the owner but unfortunately I need to share a warning to those with severe food allergies. I went in today and got shrimp spring rolls which were supposed to come with a side of fish sauce due to the peanut sauce having soy sauce a.k.a. gluten Allergen. When the rolls came out they had the peanut sauce on the plate and it was poured all over one roll when I mentioned it she said oh sorry and came back quickly with two rolls and the fish sauce I could see that they had wiped off the peanut sauce. Not only did this pose a threat to me with a gluten allergy but anyone with a peanut allergy as well. After she sat another group I asked her to come over and explained that I would get severely sick and I needed a new one made... in less than a minute she came back with the same roll & I could tell have been wiped off again. I will not be returning to this restaurant... The severity of this and lack of correcting the situation is not worth my health or yours. read more

That pho was barely edible. Zero flavor. It appears the place is run by a family, and I understand how difficult that might be, but if pho isn't something you know how to make, why name the place after it? Also, I recommend thinner pho noodles. Wish the owners luck. These are easy fixes. read more

I've been eating pho my whole life, these people are cheap and not only charge you an outrages price for the styrofoam to go plates but they also give the same portions for a small pho and a large pho. As I was waiting for my order 5 people where complaining and upset. Worst pho place in Colorado, save your money and go someplace else read more

The broth is inconsistent. I don't know if it is just that they haven't been open long or maybe the time of day. I still recommend this place to anyone who doesn't want to leave Brighton for pho. They do keep making improvements on things in the restaurant and I hope they keep going in that direction. I still think people are ridiculous for their crazy harsh reviews. So try it for yourself! read more
