Garlic noodles
Melanie T.

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.

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!

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

Spicy seefood ramen  the best.

Great service and the food was great......the place was really clean and food came out really quick

Dumpling soup

It was pretty good and the service was great. I had the dumpling soup and I liked the dumplings they were super flavorful. The noodles were also pretty good. I recommend coming here.

Slightly oily and adequate flavor at best

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.

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!

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 wishes all of the restaurant still train her staffs this level of 20% worth the tips. Ambiance: Lots of plants, kind of remind me of lazy susan, fine dinning Chinese restaurant where my parents dragged me along to meet up with their friends once a month atmosphere. Vintage, nostalgia & classy vibes with a fish tank( for good Fortune). Over all: 10% off for cash pay. If you are looking for an old school, well established & impressive service with authentic Vietnamese & unbeatable value please discard the cover of this old book. It really a hidden gems of authentic Vietnamese foods in Aurora.

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. My head is moving from side to side, and my feet are tapping. I found my happiness here even though we leapt/spring one hour ahead earlier today.
