    10/10 will be back! All of the food was so good, we got the banh mi with five spice fries which were spicy and unique, Asian buffalo wings were crispy and the sauce was amazing but why do I just need ranch I know it's a Vietnamese restaurant I'm sorry....., pork egg roll honestly some of the best I've ever had they were really thin and crispy, crab cheese wontons, two pork dumplings and a coke and it all came out to $40 during happy hour which is such a good deal! Really friendly staff and nice outdoor space.

    Chicken and veggie dumplings, excellent

    I ordered the the vermicelli combination bowl but skipped the shrimp since I'm allergic. They do not skimp on the beef and chicken, which was excellent. In fact, the whole bowl was very delicious. The noodles were nice and soft and the lettuce accompaniment added to the bowl itself. We also ordered chicken and veggie dumplings which were excellent as well. I have nothing to say but good things about this place and the next time we're in Denver it will be at the top of our list for Vietnamese fixes

    The pho was really good. Not too sweet, clear and flavorful. I also got their juice box cocktail, Chrysanthemum tea and gin. It was really creative and tasty. The servers were polite and quick despite being busy. Space is a bit cramped but overall worth.

    House pho with beef short rib
    Lily W.

    Our group of 4 walked over to Pho & Bar after being quoted a 1 hour wait at Noodles by Nina. I still wanted noodle soup and figured a half empty restaurant was a quicker resolution, however I'm now fairly certain we would have gotten our food faster even with the 1 hour wait at our original restaurant choice. Service was incredibly slow for how empty the restaurant was. After more than 30 minutes of waiting and no sign of our server, another server finally came to check on us and realized none of our order tickets made it to the kitchen. This could have easily been recognized by the original server had he even showed up to check on us during this time. I wish I could say the food was worth the wait. The pork egg rolls we got had just 1 piece of lettuce and barely pickled veggies to accompany it. I was confused that my house pho with beef short rib came with the meat on the side, which was sadly very cold and chewy. The broth itself was fine, but the chili oil pooled so much and was too greasy to be palatable. Our server did at least remove the apps from our bill as an apology for the service and I did at least find the food edible. For a $20 bowl of pho though I am still left feeling offended and full of regret that I didn't just wait it out for Noodles by Nina. We all left agreeing that the only enjoyable part of our meal was the 2010s hits playlist.

    Pho (Traditional + House mix)

    Came here for a solo lunch mid week in September. They weren't too busy when I walked in and had the choice of sitting anywhere. I selected to sit inside at the booth. The menu isn't too extensive which is nice because everything sounded so good-- made it just a little easier to settle on something. I went with the Pho white meat chicken and mixed the traditional & house broth. Pho was phenomenal-- I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

    Our go to Viet spot in/near downtown. Their house special pho is like a combination of bun bo hue plus pho broth! We get this every time. The prices are great as well as you'd expect a place like this to cater to higher income individuals given the location and demographics. It's a hip, trendy, and modern looking restaurant. Their to gos even come in a very cool looking recycle bag. I love the fusion appetizers. The pho roll is def a must! They don't skimp out on the elote either.

    Lemongrass banh mi
    Corina S.

    Literally my husband and I just got to Denver and we're craving some pho! WOW!! This place is all the feels! The music was a vibe, servers were kind and helpful. We got a bowl of pho with beef meatballs and a lemongrass beef banh mi! The portions are huge!!! Also free 2 hour street parking. What a great find when visiting Denver!!! A must to visit!!!!

    Went to this joint between visiting the museum of science and nature and the Denver zoo. Food: - ordered the combination traditional pho for $15 - soup wasn't very hot - brisket was chewy and did not taste fresh but the meatball and rare steak were fresh and delicious - noodles were cooked to perfection - basil, jalapeño and lime were fresh but the bean sprout were large and browning Ambience: - definitely feels geared to the younger/working population - very modern - creative drinks and creative decor - trendy music was playing even in the bathroom Service: - freaking amazing - I have never been to a pho place where they were so willing to split the bowl for you (and it was literally buying 2 bowls for the price of 1... thank you!!) and so willing to customize to your liking (such as I didn't want any of the meat so all the meat was placed in the other bowl) - taking out...they were so willing to separate the noodles from the soup too!! Parking and location: - you see a lot of folks walking around - not much to do - parking is mainly street parking but it isn't difficult as you can find free parallel parking in the neighborhood without signs (apologies to those that live in the area!) Thank you Pho & Bar for making my day and for such an amazing experience!

    Reusable cloth bag
    Daniel M.

    Yummy! I've been wanting to try this place as it's only a mile away from our house. I was first blown away by this tote bag that is reusable. What a beauty! My hubby is sick so wanted to order him some comfort food. This place did not disappoint! He is loving the broth and the rare steak pho. I got the grilled chicken pho, what a burst of flavors in my mouth. It also is very filling, I can normally eat my pho in one setting but with this one, I have left overs and also more broth. I can't wait to go see this place inside, whoever is on their design team and marketing, deserves a raise. Amazing job everyone! :)

    pho & bar has a really cool bar and cute outdoor seating area. this is a great place for late lunch or dinner. i really enjoyed my vegan pho. i thought the flavors were just right. also, free refills on soda! my waitress was great as well.

    Combination House Pho
    Stefanie C.

    I've been wanting to come here for a while, but it's always busy! I finally met up with friends here one Saturday afternoon for lunch, and we all had to park several blocks away. Just be prepared to wait at least an hour. Service was fast, but it's a little chaotic. We were seated at the bar, and I loved the fusion between Asian restaurant and sports bar vibes. I ordered the Combination House Pho which was DELICIOUS! Plenty of noodles and meat, and the thought of the broth makes my mouth water. I did throw a wrench into my own plan by asking for Vietnamese Coffee to-go. It was totally forgotten about until I managed to flag someone down, who then personally prepared my coffee. Totally coming back again!

    Pho rolls were bomb.com!
    Kevin W.

    What a great spot that I can add to my list before I have a concert at the nearby venues (Fillmore and Ogden). This is a more Vietnamese fusion serving great rolls and drinks! Atmosphere is definitely more upscale and hip, you won't expect authentic pho (which I recommend actually going to more authentic places like Pho Saigon, or any of the great hole in the wall places on Federal). House Pho is almost like a Bun Bo Hue but meant for people are not used to spices and the other offerings you typically get. Broth is fairly light, I had to add a decent amount of hoisin and Sriracha to bring up the flavor profile. It's cheap but compared to other places in Denver, you get less here. Toppings are in the light side. The beef pho rolls were a hit! The fish sauce based sauce was amazing and all of the flavors blended well. It was definitely a flavor bomb! Crunch garlic and shallot bits as well as fresh herbs really elevate this dish. You won't expect the best Vietnamese food here, but for a fusion it does it good. I would highly recommend their apps, but pass on the pho.

    Portia W.

    Great pho even for vegans! Full service bar delicious hot pho and a convenient location!

It's Vietnamese fusion cuisine where every dish reimagines staple southeast Asian dishes in such a savory manner. My top 5 rated restaurant in Beli.

    A true hidden gem - do not miss this place!…read more This Vietnamese restaurant is one of those spots you hope stays a local secret forever, but it's just too good not to share. The food, portions, flavors, and overall experience are absolutely outstanding. First - you cannot leave without trying the homemade ginger ale. I have no idea what magic they put into it, but it is truly out of this world. It's unique, refreshing, and easily one of the most memorable drinks I've had at a restaurant. The pho is consistently delicious - packed with incredible flavor. The sesame chicken is another standout, but honestly, the curries are where this place really shines. My friend said the lamb curry was one of the best things he has ever eaten, and I completely understand why. The curries come out piping hot and overflowing- literally. The atmosphere is just as special as the food. The inside has such a great vibe - cozy, welcoming, and full of character. They also have the cutest little patio that feels like a hidden oasis with all the greenery and homey touches. The management and staff are phenomenal. They are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your experience. They constantly check in and somehow always seem to surprise you with something extra. You can tell this place is run by people who truly love what they do. We've done both takeout and dine-in, and the quality never changes. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. They also have great vegan options, so there really is something for everyone. They are connected with the same ownership/management as Golden Bánh Mì next door, which is also incredible - clearly there is a passion for creating amazing food and experiences.

However, the staff was extremely accommodating and did a great job making sure everyone was taken care of. Even though the restaurant was busy and our group was much larger than the average party, they still provided great service and were very patient with us. I really appreciated how much effort they put into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The food was also very tasty. I ordered the sesame chicken, and it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The sauce had just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming, and the chicken had a really good crunch to it. It was exactly what I was hoping for and definitely one of the highlights of my meal. Everything else that I tried was enjoyable as well, and overall, I was impressed with the quality of the food. My biggest complaint was more about the layout of the restaurant than the food or service. Because we had such a large group, there really weren't many spaces available that could accommodate everyone together. We ended up having to sit at five separate tables, which was a little inconvenient when we were trying to celebrate a birthday as a group. I completely understand that the staff was working with the space they had, and I really appreciate that they did everything they could to accommodate us. It just would have been nice if there were a larger seating area where big parties could sit together. I think a remodel or some type of redesign of the dining area could really benefit the restaurant, especially if they frequently have larger parties. Creating a designated space for bigger groups would make the experience much more convenient and would allow families and large groups to actually sit together and enjoy their meals. Overall, though, we had a great experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the food was delicious, and they did a great job handling our large group despite how busy they were. The seating situation was definitely the only downside, and I think that could be improved with a little more space or a remodel. I would still come back, especially for the food and the excellent service!

I love that their menu has your run of the mill options but they have a specials page with harder to find Vietnamese options, like banh xeo or banh canh cua. They do NOT have banh cuon though, just fyi. I read other reviews saying the banh canh cua and bun bo hue are really good here, and lemme tell you. The yelpers did not disappoint! Everything in the canh cua is hella good, especially the broth. All I added was lime, veggies, and a little chili oil. Perfection! I couldn't finish the bowl since we ordered a bunch of other stuff but canh cua keeps well so even heated up the next day, the noodles and everything were intact and yummy. It does come with blood cubes but if you aren't a fan, like myself, you can ask them to take it out. They have several BBH meat options but my BF went with the King bowl which has everything in it. We didn't realize that it comes with a giant beef bone on the side. Considering we ordered two of these for our 4 person table, our table was packed AF lol The BBH has a good flavor and depth, not that spicy, and if you like a lot of meat variety, this is the one for you. We also ordered spring rolls, eggrolls, banh it ram, and banh beo for the table. The banh it ram and banh beo were sooooooo freakin good. They stuff the chewy part of the banh it ram with a yummy pork filling, and the crunch on the bottom was such a good contrast to the chewiness of the mochi like top. I've had this dish a few times before but I have to say, O Lien does it best. You really have to dunk these things in the nuoc mam (sweet fish) otherwise it will taste a little plain. The banh beo were some of the best I've had. They really load these babies up with toppings, which I appreciate because some places are so stingy with the chicharrones and shrimp dust - thats the orange stuff on top. These were also a highlight for me, I love the sweet savory flavor, and the chewiness of the banh beo. This is another thing you kinda have to drown in nuoc ma for flavor and they're pretty big so kudos to you if you can one bite this. For me, I found it a little more appetizing to cut in half and scoop up with my spoon. The egg rolls were good, nothing crazy. Just a nice solid egg roll. I didn't try the spring rolls but my cousin said the sauce it came with didn't have a peanutty taste. It said it tasted more like soy sauce than anything.. so for him, he would pass. We popped in on a Sunday night at 7, and they had a whole waitlist with people waiting inside and outside. We were lucky and only had to wait about 15 minutes. They claim they close at 8 but they def had people seated past that. They're super busy and for good reason. The food is bomb! They're in a small plaza with a tiny lot, so you might catch a spot if you're lucky otherwise you'll have to find street parking, which shouldn't be too bad. The inside is fairly spacious, so they do get people moving in and our fairly quickly.
