    Spicy beef noodle soup
    Sandy F.

    Food is consistently delicious, large portions, good prices, excellent service, and it's very clean. Usually a noodle bowl--it's my favorite. But because everything is tasty I've tried dishes I've never had before and always been pleased. I would come here every day if I could.

    Located across from the statehouse, pho-natic, will make you a pho-fan. The two workers worked quickly to seat and serve diners. I had a beef pho and a Vietnamese iced coffee. The iced coffee was bold and flavorful, and portioned perfectly. Since Vietnamese iced coffee is so strong, I understand why the portion was substantially smaller than other drinks but I was surprised that it was priced about the same or higher than others. The regular pho bowl was a good portion -- enough to satisfy someone with moderate hunger. The beef portions within the soup were also plentiful - they did not skimp! While the broth itself was good, it wasn't my favorite (a little heavy on the fish sauce, and yet very light in color). Overall, I'd come back and would tell others to give pho-natic a chance if you're in town. It's pho-tastic!

    Very good pho here! Walking in, I was instantly hit with the wonderful aroma of pho broth. I got the Pho dac biet, so it included all the meats! I genuinely appreciate how they offer the small size for the pho dac biet, which isn't available in a lot of pho restaurants. Pho was soooo tasty! All the meats were tender. For a small bowl, even a regular size bowl, there was a good amount of meats and noodles. My favorite part about this place is the chili sauce! It's pretty much the sauce that is in bun bo hue. Fantastic taste and perfect amount of spice. The server was nice and quick. A lot of seating.

    Delicious bowl of pho :)

    What a comforting and inviting shop right across the street from the Capitol Building. Perfect place to go on a cold day. The bowl of pho warms you right up. They are very generous on the portion size. Lots of noodles, soup, and beef. They definitely did not skimp. That bowl is worth every dollar you pay for it. The broth is deep and flavorful and warms you to your soul. Service is friendly and fast as well. Keep up the good work :)

    Tofu noodle bowl
    Elise M.

    I came here as part of a big group with a reservation. They seated us immediately and served us very efficiently. The food was good, tofu was cooked nicely. I'd definitely come back and try the pho, I was afraid to try to eat it around coworkers :).

    I love this pho restaurant. Their soup is less sweet than the average, quenching my need for a savory broth. The service is good considering there are only a few people working here each shift. I always crave their food. This time, we got the bun tho hue, the spicy beef noodle soup. The noodles are thicker than the pho. The soup is good and flavorful but you don't get the different types of meat this dish usually comes with... but its a great spicy version of a nice noodle dish. I'd eat it again. Sustainability tip: They serve their boba in a glass if you're dining in! It feels much classier and stays cold longer if you have the time. If you want to be extra, being your own straw!

    This is our second time to this restaurant and again did not disappoint. The vegetarian pho with tofu is spectacular and full of flavor. The vegetarian tofu spring rolls are fresh, delicious, and the sauce is spectacular. The service is also very attentive and friendly. A must try when in the downtown Denver area. It has a beautiful view of the capital building. We will return again.

    Grabbed lunch at Pho-natic the other day, and honestly it was an excellent experience. Clean, cozy and cool space (the latter was important given it was a hot walk to get there and I still wanted to slurp some hot pho). Service was absolutely impeccable too. We had the spring rolls to start with, which were generously filled. The pho comes in three sizes, and I got the small which was perfect for my lunchtime appetite, and it still had plenty of meat and accoutrement. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also perfection, and I got to watch it steep tableside. Truly a great spot. I only wish it was a shorter walk from the office!

    Pho with raw beef slices (small) and Thai iced tea
    Emily S.

    It's good but not the best pho or thai iced tea I've had (I've had many, so my standard is higher). The broth is tasty but isn't clear. Noodle texture was correct. Good amount of beef in the noodle soup. I wish cilantro was served on the side and not in the soup. Thai iced tea flavor is a little off, maybe more artificial? Staff is friendly, attentive, and courteous. Decor is a little outdated.. Floor has a few cracks. Probably wouldn't visit again.

    So good!! Very flavorful and when we came it was packed but we got in pretty quick with wonderful service I definitely will be back

    I have had my share of pho broth...and this place is up there. Run by a mom and her son ( I think). Fantastic crispy pork rolls. Medium bowls of pho will fill you up with great flavor. Seriously it cleared up my laryngitis. Get the lemon grass into your broth. I am coming back for sure.

    Combo noodle bowl
    Jasmine B.

    I think I just found my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Denver. This small cozy place immediately gives you good vibes upon arrival. Service was very quick and attentive and all of the food was made fresh. I ordered the grilled pork spring rolls and the combination noodle bowl, both of which I devoured. The meat was well seasoned and juicy and had a nice char from the grill. I think my favorite was the juicy pork on top of the fresh noodles. I do wish that I had a little more vegetables to balance out the meat portion but that's the only "complaint" I have if you want to call that a complaint. Parking is a bit tragic as this place is directly across from the Capitol so if you're trying to go I recommend parking a block or two away and parking.

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!

First... each time we have gotten pho, they have given us about 5 small leaves of basil. Yes... that's it. Even the cheapest, bargain pho I have gotten at hole-in-the-wall places give a few big sprigs of basil (like 20 leaves). Basil is such a crucial component in pho, and it's very cheap and easy to grow so I don't get why this place skimps on it. Second, I ordered a rice bowl that is supposed to come with carrots and cucumbers. My order had about 5 little carrot slices and one (yes... ONE) slice of cucumber. I had to laugh at that pathetic little slice in a huge bed of rice. Again, a fairly cheap ingredient that they completely skimped on. It may seem like a small thing, but these are the details which make me decide if I want to order again from a place. Pho&Bar is not getting my business anymore.

After looking at two I still didn't know how much hot sake was or the sizes offered and if they had other kinds -- absolutely no transparency on price when it's not on a menu anywhere. They have Lucky Buddha bottles all over the place but no idea how much those were, either. Mixers? I see bottles but no prices cause nothin is listed in any drink menus. So weird. The pho is very good and other meals have always been. I think it's on the pricier side here for everything. It gets so expensive to go out when a modest meal/drink set ya back $50. It's just pho! And a basic adult drink like super cheap house sake or tap beer. But anywho, this is our world now. Just going out less & less than I used to! They don't have any deals like happy hour. Multiple people asked when I was there so I hope they offer one someday. The sides for pho are pretty skimpy but there was no hesitation when I asked for more lime & basil. Service was and has always been really good!
