We were visiting from Phoenix, Arizona last week. Our East Valley (Chandler/Mesa) has some amazing Asian Cuisine, however...Pho 95 Noodle House has quickly become OUR FAVORITE Vietnamese restaurant!!! My brother and his family live in the area, they tried a dozen Vietnamese restaurants in Denver/Colorado Springs before they discovered Pho 95, they have not gone anywhere else since!!! The restaurant is clean, with a beautiful fish tank, and a welcoming bar for cocktails. Though I did not have any this time, I was excited to see that they offer Soju, which is somewhat difficult to come by in Phoenix. The menu is extremely informative, with mention of the history of pho, along with details and appealing photos, making it so easy for a first timer, who may otherwise feel intimidated on what to order. For a novice, the photos and info encourages one to try something different. The presentation of our appetizers were like none I have ever seen. We ordered fried egg rolls, but wait, there's more... they came with with lettuce, perilla leaves, sprouts, noodles, cilantro, shredded carrots, cucumber...wrapping all of these together and dunking them into their dipping sauce was exquisite, I could have stopped there...we ordered shrimp/pork/beef, noodle/rice dishes, pho, boba....I tried a bit of every dish at our table, and nothing was less than scrumptious. The service was perfect...we were a large party of eight, but we were treated with the utmost patience as we navigated the menu, asked for items during our meal, asked for assistance to take a group photo. Considering the value of our food, the prices were more than fair. I noticed three different groups of people who were greeted as regular customers, which tells me that we are not the only ones who love this restaurant. Thank You Pho 95, We hope to see you again soon!!! read more

Very Attentive Staff. Food was authentic and amazing. Kid friendly and very clean I would highly recommend the #21. This is a gem of a Pho restaurant. Either location is a must-visit! I highly recommend! read more

Went Friday afternoon- it was not busy and we were seated immediately. We only ordered the grilled beef vermicelli which was absolutely delicious and more than enough for someone with a large appetite like myself :P Would highly recommend this dish. read more

My husband introduced me to Pho 95 when we first started dating back in 2015. I loved their broth above all others, the staff, the service and the overall vibe. They put a lot of time and care into their food as well as having working relationships with their customers. After having moved, we stopped coming to the restaurant as often. They seemed to have taken off really well after the boom we experienced in Denver with all the new people moving here and learning about pho on South Federal. It was hard getting a table, which also is a reason why we stopped coming in. We truly missed the staff since. My husband was randomly craving pan fried noodles tonight, and I wanted a combination pho so we decided to order takeout. We called it in and came to pick it up in a timely manner. My husband only recognized one staff member, which he was saddened by. We ordered three meals, which came to a hefty total over $54 bucks. A stark difference in price from the last time we dined in. My husband ordered the pan fried noodles with beef and vegetables, but he was instead served tofu. I assembled my bowl of pho, and was disappointed by the lack of flavor in their broth, something I prized this restaurant for in the past. My son's meal was great, though. He ordered the steamed rice plate with pork. The time and care that used to be put into their food seemed to go downhill. I hope this was just a one-off night. I would be willing to dine again with with 95 of the food stayed consistent and as flavorful as it used to be. That's the only way I would be willing to pay as much as we did tonight. I write this from a empathetic place and understand that denver has changed a lot, most importantly the cost of living which has impacted us all. I hope the staff know that we have loved and adored their restaurant for years, and hope to see the same love go into their kitchen. read more

On Federal, there are pho place every other blocks it seemed. Been here several times over the years whenever I'm in town. Just came here this week and had dinner with my sister. Overall, the price was more than what I'm used to coming from Texas. The service was quick and efficient. The pho and meat was proportional. The tripe was thinly sliced and brisket was all good. Noodles wasn't in a clump like some other pho places. Only issue is the pho soup, which is the key ingredient of any good pho. It lack the depth on smell and taste of what makes pho different other than any other hot Asian noodle soup. I had to add few more toppings and sauce to give it some kick. I've not had other pho in Denver, so maybe this is the going price. But compared to Texas, it's about 15% more than most places in Texas. So the 3 stars is considering the lack of value and lack of flavors that pho soup is known for. My mom and sisters are here in Colorado, so will look forward to other pho places next time. read more

Food was amazing. I tried multiple appetizers and eat of them hit the spot. I loved the scallops in a half shell.

As my wife and I continued our travel to Denver, we were looking for a good pho place. We came across Pho 95 and looked at their menu. We got the Spring Rolls, Wagyu Beef Pho and the Pho Tai (rare beef). The spring rolls were good. The peanut sauce was good but it was a little thin consistency wise, but it was still good. We got the soup next and it was very authentic. I got the large Wagyu beef and texture on the beef was very silky!!! it was great. Just be aware, the large bowl is big. I wasn't able to finish it all. In my opinion the large bowl is good for 2 people. But with the price, the quality of the ingredients and meats is good. I would highly recommend this place!!! read more

Love trying all the places in the Little Saigon district- they rarely fail to please. Pho95 is no exception. Vegetarian and marinated beef pho were terrific. One son also got chicken fried rice which was reported to be average. Service was great and quick. The space was clean and tidy. read more

Glad we chose Pho 95 out of the 10+ Vietnamese restaurants that line Federal Blvd. Service is fast; there were always servers or food runners racing around the dining room. Portions are large, and thank god, they give the appropriate amount of nuoc mam (fish sauce). Some places are super stingy. We ordered the grilled beef vermicelli noodle bowl and small pho. I love how their menu includes pictures and descriptions of ingredients and condiments--perfect for the novice pho eater. http://www.pho95noodlehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Pho95menu.pdf The only disappointment was the honeydew boba tea which tasted fake. I should've stuck with strawberry or another basic flavor. Also, they did not offer Che Ba Mau (three color dessert) which I thought was odd for a seemingly authentic Vietnamese restaurant. read more

So I am a huge pho fan and I have been to this place twice now. We came on Sunday around 2pm and their were a ton of people. We were quickly seated even having to need a table for 7 of us. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated quickly with only 3 of the 7 being present at the time. While waiting for the first 5 minutes we were brought out waters. We waited for another 5 minutes and figured I would just ask for some spring rolls while we waited for our group. Our group arrived shortly after I placed an order for spring rolls. We then waited another 10 min for the Spring Rolls. We went ahead and ate our spring rolls to hold us over while the remaining part of our group wasn't even greeted yet. Another 10 minutes past by before I decided that I should get up and tell them we would like to place our order. The cashier looked at me frazzled and said, "okay, we will be with you shortly." After another 10 minutes went by another server came up and took our orders. That is a total wait time of 40 minutes before first meal orders were taken. To say the least I was very irritated. The FOOD WAS FANTASTIC, the SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. When my medium chicken pho came out, it was piping hot and the Thai basil, mint leaves, sprouts, jalapeños were all presented neat and were very fresh. Our spring rolls were delicious and the peanut sauce was a perfect pairing. Overall if our wait wasn't so long and I didn't feel like we were an irritation more than a customer I would rate this place much higher. read more

Phở 95 - Medium Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I love pho and I try to eat it everywhere I go. My friends from Denver told me that I had to eat pho when I'm visiting because Denver has a large population of Vietnamese people who make legit pho. They boasted they have some of the best pho restaurants in all of the US. I'm glad I listened because this restaurant has amazing pho. Pho 95 had the best pho I have eaten in Denver. It's so good that I ate here two days in a row! They have Filet Mignon Pho so obviously I ordered that (Pho 95 Special). It came out with very fresh veggies and generous amounts of meat. The noodles were cooked perfectly soaking in an amazing bowl of their pho broth. I always put Sriracha, Hoisin and Sauté sauce in the broth no matter where I go. The broth was so good that I didn't do it here for the first time in my life. I left extremely full and very happy both times I dined here. Their customer service isn't the best (that's why I didn't give them 5 stars) but aside from that, you have to eat here if you want pho in Denver! read more

Phở 95 - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Came to Pho 95 after seeing its name pop up in a Google search for "best pho in Denver." Located in the Little Saigon Business District where South Federal Avenue meets the streets named after states, it's one of many Vietnamese restaurants in the area. I pulled into the parking lot via West Arkansas Avenue then headed inside with my girlfriend. We were seated in the far corner by the windows, affording a view out onto the street. (People watching around here seems continuously rewarding.) After consulting Yelp reviews and doing a bit of our own soul-searching, I ordered a medium-size bowl of the wagyu beef pho, while she opted for the grilled chicken bun. The food arrived quickly. My soup was served in a large bowl, as you'd expect for a soup. I mixed in the bean sprouts, cilantro, and jalapenos with my chop sticks, stirring it all together. There was a generous portion of thinly sliced wagyu beef, brisket, and flank steak in the broth. Nodding, I began eating and slurping away. Well, okay. The noodles were cooked well. The veggies? No complaints. I also found the meat to be tender and delicious. But, to my taste, the broth was missing something. It was flat and subdued, not bursting with the flavors of clove and star anise that I'm used to. And, no matter how much everything else may satisfy, I have trouble seeing past an underwhelming broth. My girlfriend very much enjoyed her noodle dish, and we brought our leftovers to go. The service was good during the first half of our visit but weakened towards the end. I was torn between giving Pho 95 three stars or four stars; ultimately, I got a good vibe from this place, so I'm awarding them the four. Meanwhile, my humble search for the most personally satisfying bowl of pho in Denver continues. read more

Overall, not worth the hype. We came just after lunch, but it was still packed to the brim. Was expecting too much with that first impression. It took us over 10 minutes to not only get seated, but even to be acknowledged. Environment: Not much standing room to wait if there is another group waiting to be seated before. They have their own parking lot with additional spots in the back if necessary. Cleanliness: Looks like they were struggling to keep up with the demand of serving people with cleaning tables and bussing dirty dishes. When we were given our utensils - they were still soaking wet from the wash, but I had the previous user's cilantro still on mine. Food: I got the Pho Dac Biet. Tons of food, but not worth $15 for the Large. The broth lacked depth and I would well consider it bland. read more

Why 4 stars? Because I think pho just isn't for me. --- --- --- I badly want to like it, but it's basically just soup to me. Knowing this, I was hesitant to spend one of my precious Denver meals here, but because it was high on the Yelp's top 100 in the U.S. list in 2014, I couldn't resist. I thought, "maybe I just haven't had GOOD pho yet..." But, no. It tasted rather unexciting to me, much like the rest that I've tried. That being said, the services was incredibly friendly, and the owner spent a significant amount of time at the table talking to my brother and I. Because of that, I don't think it's fair to rate this biz lower than 4-stars, because it's not their fault that pho just isn't really my thing. read more

They refer to pho places in Denver as an equivalent to a Starbucks in numbers. They're in every corner. It's very reassuring for us knowing that one of the dishes that we absolutely must have at least a minimum of once a week is not to be out of our lives. Locating one is not difficult. At first glance I counted twelve of them a few blocks from each other. Very reassuring indeed. This particular one that we first hit sits in a very busy main street. Long line past the front door on a very wet rainy and cold day. Very limited parking space. Although they use three sides of the building leaving one side as an exit. With that parking is still very limited. It is spacious inside. Two tops table are rare. Fast service. Three sizes of bowl. Small, medium and large. It is about $8 for the small pho ga. Very small standing only wait area that will barely fit five or six people. Hence the line past the door. No disposable chopsticks. No choices of noodles except what they give you. Fresh veggies. I'm no pho expert although I've had an affinity for it that needs to be fulfilled at three times a week. So yeah I've been eating pho for the past 5-6 years. So I know a little bit about it. It's all in the broth. You can throw anything into it if the broth is legit. The broth here is definitely not the best for me coming from a city where the best of the best pho is located. But it's acceptable nevertheless. I will continue my search for what suits my taste. There's plenty of choices. read more

Based on the stellar Yelp reviews, this pho restaurant made my list of "must-try" restaurants in Denver, although we soon discovered there's practically a million other pho restaurants around. We stayed on course and made our way to Pho 95 for lunch. Service seems a bit off here, but that's probably expected of most Asian restaurants, and that would be my only qualm. We stood and waited quite a while to be seated, then our food arrived very untimed, however, considering this is a pho place and a "long" wait here means like, 5 minutes, it's no big deal. On to the food! I started with a Ca Phe Sua Da (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) and it is one of the strongest, most delicious Vietnamese Iced Coffees I've ever had. I would highly recommend trying one of these if you can handle strong coffee! A couple of the guys at my table started with Goi Cuon appetizers. Be warned, these contain shredded lettuce thus aren't prepared the traditional way and definitely weren't the best. For my meal, I ordered a Pho Chin + Meatballs. The soup was great and tasty, the meat was delicious as well. And oh my gosh, the meat. I have no idea how I was able to finish all my noodles while pairing it with meat in every bite and somehow still ended up with about 2 cups of meat left in my bowl. Insane! But, thank you! Needless to say, we all walked away super stuffed. With all the competition going on around here, I don't think you can go wrong with the Pho, but I would gladly come here next time I'm in town. Consider adding this to your "must try" list as well! read more

What makes this restaurant so good that it makes it on Yelp's Top 100 List of restaurants? I have no idea. To me, this is your typical pho restaurant. It has menus that cater more to the general public, not just for the Vietnamese population. I thought the pho was just okay, flavors were a little watered down. Maybe it's because I live in an area with a great selection of Vietnamese cuisine. I liked how they had three different serving sizes. Most places only have small and large. The restaurant is clean and well decorated. The service is great. The waiters are quick to help and provide you service, The prices are normal pho prices which is a good thing. I just think this place is overhyped. I'm thinking because everyone wants a bowl of pho during the long winter season in the mile high city. The pho on the west coast is a lot better (with the exception of Zagat rated Pho 75 in Arlington, VA). Tip: Park in their parking lot only! Park anywhere else and you might get towed. read more

Woah. Let me start off with this: I don't like soups or pho that much. I went to satisfy my girlfriends craving for pho and gave it a try. It was so good that I finished my bowl down to the very last drop. Portion size was incredible for the cost, leaving me very satiated. My neighbors were in awe of how much I ate. (Large size filet mignon steak Pho). Flavor was absolutely perfect without needing to add anything at all to it. Only thing that could make it better is if they had more sweets/dessert options. We got a taro boba shake which was pretty good. read more

TUESDAY January 5th 2010 : I made a reservation to eat at Pho 95 before Jan 5th. About 12 friends and I head down to Pho 95 for an evening dinner as part of (I.C.E) meetup group. Some of my friends, have ever ate Pho, some have not, and quite a number said this was their first trip to Pho 95. When we arrived, though our table is not really ready since there are some patrons, dining away, we sat at where we supposed to be seated separately. At about 19:00hrs, almost all of my friends were there and we finally were seated as a group. If I could recall correctly, I order the No. 10 from the menu, opt for a small bowl, rare steak, tendons and tripe, with an addition of extra tendon, and I also order Chicken Wings. This time around, since I am not in a rush and dont feel rushed, I enjoyed my Pho much more with the company of my friends. My friends like what they ordered for that evening too. From the group, one of the members order the Steam Chicken Rice of some sort. Since he came late due to the bad traffic on that evening, he opt for the Steam Chicken Rice instead of Pho. He likes the flavor and likes what he ordered too. Indeed the service is fast, and prompt. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pho 95, especially KIM, who is the youngest sister of Aaron, with the staffs, making our dinner experience as awesome as it can be. With wonderful friends, meaningful conversations and good food, nothing went wrong on that day. Thank you Pho 95. Now, its time for me to bring Hubs in the future and see how or what he thinks about this place. My evening, I ended it with Durian BOBA. read more

TL;DR: *False. Advertising.* I was lied to. Wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. The main issue with this establishment is that they claim to have "Wagyu Kobe beef" on their menu. Genuine Kobe beef comes from a specific prefecture in Japan and is very hard to find here in the US. Our party ordered four of these bowls and received eye round, the cheapest cut of beef, instead of wagyu. Eye round is the cheapest beef because it has little to no marbling, exactly the property that makes Kobe beef so treasured. Essentially, they charged us $20 for a bowl of eye round pho that would normally be half the price. How are you going to charge such an insane price for such a lackluster cut of meat? It's ridiculous! Apart from the Kobe beef issue, all other aspects about the restaurant are mediocre, but the food is way overpriced. I would give this no stars if I could and wouldn't recommend it to anybody. There are plenty of other pho restaurants in the area, and they'll all give you better pho for a better price. read more

Do you have a good friend that you don't see very often, but when you do, its like no time has passed and you pick up right where you left off? That how I feel when I eat at Pho 95. I didn't know they moved down the block, so when I pulled into their old location on Federal and Tennessee and saw the lights out and sign taken down, I almost cried. Well, not really, but I was super disappointed until I saw the sign posted on the door. Pho 95 recently relocated a couple of blocks down and is now located on the corner of Federal and Arkansas. I love their new location. It's roomy, clean and more up-to-date in regards to the décor. They have the same prompt service, and delicious tasting filet mignon pho. Unfortunately, the parking lot is rather small, and they warn you with signs not to park in neighboring lots or on the street because your car will be towed! read more

In Denver there is literally a pho place on every street corner. Like a ridiculous amount which can make the process of picking a pho joint overwhelming. Echoing the same sentiment as others pho 95 is one of the best pho places in Denver. Service isn't bad and the wait staff is attentive. If you come any say during lunch or dinner high time there will be a wait but it's worth it ! Try any of the phos but truly pho dac biet is the bee knees. Their broth is top notch where it's not super salty or oily and the perfect amount of flavor. Goi guon aka spring rolls are always fresh. If you're not a fan of peanut sauce ask them for the nuoc mum. We've also had a few of their plates like com dac biet or egg roll bun. All friggin delicious. For those who haven't had Vietnamese food before it is a flavor bomb. Make sure to have water on hand with you for a few hours because let's be real you gonna be thirsty. Pro tip: If you have 2 people eating pho share a large pho to save you some dough. On spring rolls sub out the peanut sauce for nuoc mum. read more

I flew all the way from Los Angeles to Denver just for a bowl of pho and it did not disappoint. Pho 95 Special (filet mignon, brisket, & flank, number 21, small $8.5) - My goodness, I just couldn't believe that I could find such a good pho outside of Los Angeles. Broth was amazing (that sweet savory was just right) and meat were super tender (dat filet mignon, yummmmm). Fresh bean sprouts, cilantro, hoishan sauce and Siracusa sauce just made this bowl of pho even better. Definitely one of the best pho I've ever had, period. Vietnamese egg rolls served with vegetables, vermicelli noodles and peanut sauce (number 7A, $5.95) - Wrap (the egg roll and other goodies like cucumber, bean sprouts, etc), dip (into the sauce), and eat! I think the sauce tasted okay, nonetheless it was crunchy and tasty! If this restaurant opens up in the LA area (or even Little Saigon in Westminster, CA), it can definitely compete or even stand out among all other pho restaurants. Heck, they even have a full bar (which was something you won't normally find in most of Vietnamese restaurants)! P.S. - Pho 95 offers the Pho-King Challenge. In order to participate, you'll need to call the restaurant at least 2 days ahead. The challenger needs to finish 2 lbs of noodles, 2 lbs of meat, 200 oz of broth, and separate plate of vegetables. Winner gets a "I am a pho king champion" t-shirt and picture taken as winner of the month. Loser pays $34.99 and gets a free t-shirt of "I am a pho king loser". read more
