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.

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 really enjoyed my chicken and shrimp combination pho and my amazing lychee martini. The bartender and staff were so friendly.

Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Denver.

Plus, a lot of side Thai basil & bean sprouts. Beyond expectation! Service: 6/5 stars service. Very attentive, fast, just complement for ginger ale then you get to go cup on your way out.

I have ordered from Pho&Bar a few times. Let me start with the fact the food is tasty. And that's…read moremost important. But.. for the price they are very stingy with some things. 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.

Good option for Vietnamese & pho and a trendy spot…read more The drink menus are a mess. 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!

I heard good things about this restaurant even though it is in a sketchier part of town. The restaurant feels clean and lounge-y because of the lights and sakura trees. They have a restroom in the back. Parking was easy in their lot. I had to wait for someone to leave before I could finally park. Next door to O Lien is a Louisiana crawfish spot. The menu is extensive. You can choose rice or noodles. They have a lot of different appetizers too. The bun bo hue is popular because of the rib bone. The meat portion size is good. Pho is 15% off everyday after 4PM! The A5 cha gio (egg rolls) are good. One order is $7.99 and comes with two pieces but cut in half. They were served with noodles. I wish they had more greens. BBH6 King bun bo hue was good. At $24.99, it came with all the meats, including the bone rib and pork knuckle. It wasn't spicy, but the spicy sauce they had at the table was very spicy. C5 shrimp rice plate $15.99 came with 2 egg rolls. The shrimp was grilled nicely, and the steamed rice (not broken rice) was good. Service was really good. They took care of us even though it was hectic. They were patient and didn't rush us. You have to pay at the register. Credit card / tap pay is accepted. No outdoor seating.

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.
