Black pepper udon
Suchot K.

Excellent service and staff. Very spacious place. Food came out very fast. Give this place a 4 stars. The black pepper beef udon was very delicious. It is rich and flavorful. Highly recommend getting this and sharing it though as it could be a little rich if that's all you're doing. Also I do wish the egg was over easy instead overcooked. Also ordered the spring roll combo set. Personally I think this item fell short. The meat was tough, and not very flavorful. The eggrolls were also not cooked long enough and didn't have a nice crisp. It was just okay. I plan to come back and try other noodle bowls though. Seems like maybe the bowls are better.

Garlic noodles

I've seen garlic butter noodles on Vietnamese restaurant menus a lot but never ordered it. One day at Saigon Bowl, I ordered the garlic butter noodles and they were quite tasty. I shared a plate with my bf but it was a lot of food for two people. The noodles were cooked well and just very flavorful. It was overbearing in garlic flavor or too oily due to the butter. It was pretty great balance. I saw the rice bowls pass by and those look tasty and will need to try next time I'm here. Overall, there's plenty of seating. It was kinda slow when we came here at like 3pm but still had people.

I came here expecting just some sesame chicken. Apparently here, that means a whole experience. First things first; The whole get-up inside comes off as a higher class restaurant from the moment you walk inside. We got there before the lunch rush, but were still greeted like high class citizens. Got to our table and drinks almost immediately afterwards. Every server was so incredibly friendly, I have a hard time trying to make a joke on it. The food got to us piping hot, and this sesame chicken may look like your usual Chinese takeout, the first bite I took was nowhere near that. The food had a flavor of legitimate freshness, not just reheated and thrown onto a bowl. Eveb the veggies had a fresh and crispy bite to it all. Definitely a great place to go, don't let the dead mall vibes of the outside fool you. It's pretty amazing.

Menu

Today I stopped in to try out my favorite cuisine, Vietnamese. Saigon bowl is tucked away in a large shopping center in Thornton just off of I-25. The location was VERY spacious with options to seat large parties. Staff was friendly and attentive to refills and taking orders in good timing. The menu has MANY options with pictures for each item on the entire menu, very awesome those not familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered the Shaking Beef (Com Bò Lúc Lăc) This has always been one of my favorites dishes. It gets its name from vigorously shaking the pan to evenly cook the meat. This dish always has the most tender soft beef to taste. Comes with a side of rice that is a nice pairing with the veggies and beef. I will be back to try more options soon!

Empty pho tahi

The food came out really quickly and it was actually really good. I would recommend the Pho Thai it was amazing! I'm definitely coming back!

Slightly oily and adequate flavor at best
Andy H.

I'm Vietnamese, obviously, and I'm disappointed Asian dad in some of the staff. I am not a pho-magic for Saigon Bowl. Three pictures included: oily pho with flavor you wouldn't kick out of bed, bean sprout quality control... questionable at best and don't get me started on protein portions. Mind you our servers only come out to the dining room area periodically. They must be new or I'm just projecting my disappointment. On a brighter note from a not to so bright pho restaurant in the Denver county area: there looks like a karaoke room in the back. Seems like a fun nighttime spot to party with friends. Their pho might not cure your hangover tho. 2 stars.. more like 1.5

Coupon that they put out, but do not honor.
Phi T.

Service: Okay no joke, the service here absolutely sucks. We came in with a 15% coupon. See attached photo that says "Show this...for 15% off" so when it's time to pay we showed one of the restaurant staffs the coupon. She seemed perfectly okay with it and explained to our waiter that we have a coupon for 15% discount as he approached to handle our bill. Our waiter refused to honor it for some reason despite his female coworker being perfectly fine with the coupon. Our waiter proceeded to argue with us and say that they do not accept the coupon unless we have a physical printout. No, it says "Show this post" right from their Google page. I even zoomed in to show our waiter the fine print. He still firmly refused to honor the coupon and has a rude attitude at this point. He asked me where I got the coupon from and I explained it's on their Google page, posted by their owner. Lol. He then spent several minutes on the phone with someone, then came back took a photo of the coupon displayed on our phone screen and spent several more minutes on the phone. After which he came back and said okay yeah we give you the 15% discount but next time you need the paper. Lol so ruining our lunch mood and being stubborn over a $3 discount that they did in fact put out and do not honor is definitely not a good first impression. Food: My combination noodle bowl was delicious and I was impressed by portion and flavors. Their egg rolls were one of the best tasting when judged against Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Pho - good portion, but really strange tasting broth. The extra sweetness is not in a good way either. It's sweet in a Chinese herbal way, which I have never tasted in pho broth anywhere else. To the owner: Your staff flock together and talk loudly in Vietnamese on why they get low or no tips. Their conversations are loud enough that Vietnamese customers like myself inside the restaurant can easily hear them. However their attitude and the way they argue with customers as I have seen, as my first time here, makes it crystal clear why people don't tip and why these bad reviews keep coming in. We enjoyed what we ordered, but refuse to go back to the lousy atmosphere and rude service. Also, for future customers, call in first to ensure they will honor coupons that they themselves put out, because for the one currently live on their Google page, they are not honoring it.

Duck & wonton soup.
Melissa S.

This place can sometimes be hit or miss with service but the food itself is delicious and the place is very nice which is why I'm giving it a 4 star rating. The portions are all very large and shareable from what I have experienced and they serve a wide variety of Asian cuisine from Vietnamese, Chinese, Siamese, etc.

Amazing service, very attentive to the costumers! & the food is always amazing ! Really recommend this place !

Spicy seefood ramen  the best.

My favorite Thai food in Denver so far! We went on the day of the Broadway Halloween Parade…read more Despite being busy and short-staffed, Ploy (I believe, from other reviews) fit us in, and service was friendly and efficient. I love the intimate, warm atmosphere and the many plants at the front of the restaurant. Another nice touch: I swear water tastes better from the stainless steel cups that Lucky Noodles uses. Onto the food: the Khao Soi is where it's at! We got two. They were so good and super flavorful. The fried chicken is a nice touch. I think this dish would be even better on a chilly day - I'm looking forward to returning in the late fall and winter! I also appreciate that mild is truly mild (I could taste the coconut milk, not chilis - yay!). I'm excited to try the pork roti and curry puffs on a future trip. Prices are a little high IMO, but entree prices are roughly in line with those at other Thai restaurants in the city. And it's worth it to support this small business.

The…read morerestaurant was crowded, but had a fun atmosphere and wasn't too loud to hear our conversation at the table. We started with drinks and I loved that they offered a non-alc sake b*mbs! I was not drinking that night, so it was fun to participate in this. They even ring a gong before you drop the juice into the NA beer. For food, we ordered a bunch of plates to share. We started with the steamed edamame, the Szechuan dumplings, spam bao, and the chicken karaage, and the shaved broccoli salad (which ended up being our favorite dish of the night - super tangy and refreshing). We also ordered the sesame noodles and carbonara, which was delicious and cool to see an Asian version of a carbonara. The service was very friendly and attentive. The dishes did come out of the kitchen a little slow, but overall the service was good. Would note that parking in LoHi is difficult so definitely get there early to find a spot in the neighborhood because they don't have a parking lot. Also recommend making a reservation at least a few weeks in advance if you plan on going on the weekend.

We also ordered the chicken karaage with kung Pao sauce/toppings. The staff also brought the shaved broccoli for us to try, which was so nice. Our waiter recommended 4 shareables for the 2 of us, but we felt like 3 dishes (1 veg, 1 protein, 1 noodle/rice) was the perfect amount. On a Saturday night the music inside was pretty loud making it difficult to have conversations at the table, so we requested outside seating and loved that experience in nice weather. The tables were also pretty close inside. If you like the busier ambiance like that, then indoor seating would be a fun vibe!

Parking was easy and plentiful, and the service was quick and efficient. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying Vietnamese meal, especially when you're grabbing takeout. Definitely would come back!

All 8 servers are at the front podium talking like high schoolers, barely greet you, sit you down, take your order and once they bring you your food that's the last you see of em; and then they ask for a tip lol. I will say I sat next to a Vietnamese girl (I'm half Vietnamese btw just doesn't show THAT much) and they stopped next to me to check on her twice lol; looked at me and kept walking. After I was going to walk out one of the workers turned the corner and we where walking towards each other, and played a game of chicken basically, he didn't even bother trying to move so I didn't either at this point I was already annoyed and we almost ran into each other. Also! This USED to be one of the best pho places, The noodles were kinda chewy and the broth was absolutely flavorless. They did give a good amount of meat though.

Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.
