This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and although it initially seemed promising since we were the only customers there, it didn't take long to realize why that was. The space had that old-school Asian restaurant feel, dim lighting, dated décor, and a bit of a quiet, almost eerie atmosphere. We started by ordering two appetizers: the fried dumplings and wontons, along with a pineapple boba drink. When the dumplings arrived, the texture and taste of the meat inside were immediately off. It wasn't what I'm used to, kind of tough and oddly seasoned but at least passable in flavor. The wontons were better in terms of texture, but they came with this bright red sauce that tasted like straight-up red food coloring (seriously, it tasted like nothing but Red 40 syrup). We didn't even want to dip anything in it after the first taste. Then came the pineapple boba, and this is where everything really started to go downhill. On the menu, it's pictured as a milk-based drink, no description, but the image clearly suggests something creamy and sweet. What they brought out, however, was an icy slushie-style drink with boba pearls at the bottom. It was literally a big frozen chunk of crushed ice with almost no flavor. We gave it a try anyway, but it was practically undrinkable. So we politely asked our server if it could be remade with less ice, just to see if we could salvage it. She said she needed to check with the manager. That's when things took a turn. The manager walked over and, instead of approaching the situation with any sort of understanding, immediately got defensive and borderline hostile. She snapped that it couldn't be remade because it's a "smoothie" and that there was no way to reduce the ice. She didn't even try to understand our issue, just shut it down completely and walked off. After that, she began staring us down from across the restaurant and whispering to the staff about us. It was painfully obvious and incredibly unprofessional. We could hear snippets of the conversation and could tell she was still complaining about us asking for a simple change to a drink. We sat there feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome for the rest of the meal. We tried to move past it and focus on our food. My husband ordered a steak and brisket pho, and I ordered the chicken pho. I didn't try his but he wasn't a fan of his either and the meat was not good and mine was honestly terrible. The broth was completely bland like it had been watered down, and the noodles were overcooked and mushy. I ended up drowning it in hoisin and sriracha just to give it some flavor, but it still didn't help much. I couldn't even finish it. When it came time to pay, my husband noticed a few more red flags. First, we were charged extra for takeout containers, no one told us there would be a fee for those, and it wasn't posted anywhere. Second, the price we were charged for the pho was different than the price listed on the menu. He took a photo of the menu to show the discrepancy at the register. The moment the manager saw that, her entire attitude changed. Suddenly, she was smiling, overly friendly, and apologetic. She offered to remake the boba "free of charge" (even though we had already paid for it and barely touched the first one, which was still sitting on the table). We had already said we didn't want a new drink anymore, but she insisted on remaking it anyway. And here's the kicker, she actually said to us, "Don't leave a bad review." The irony? She magically could make the drink with less ice now, after saying earlier it was "impossible." So basically, before she knew we were going to say something publicly, she didn't care about our experience. But once she saw we were documenting the menu prices and clearly unhappy, she flipped the script. It was honestly insulting. Despite the last-minute attempt to do damage control, our experience was already ruined. Between the poor food, weird upcharges, rude and unprofessional service, and the passive-aggressive behavior from the manager, this was one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. We left feeling disrespected and ripped off. That drink, by the way, stayed untouched even after the second version was brought out. Bottom line: We won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place to anyone. A smile at the end doesn't undo bad food, shady pricing, or being made to feel unwelcome. read more

I came here on a Monday night with a group of 6. They pushed together some tables and made it work last minute. A hole in the wall place but hit the spot. We all order a handful of items and that same time and only have to wait around 8-10 minutes for food to come out. It was delicious and it the spot. I order shrimp and meatball pho with a side of crab wontons, and it cost $25 including the tip. Such an awesome price and delicious meal. I was very happy with it and so was the rest of the table. I plan on coming back often as it is very close to my dance studio. They also have more than just pho. Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food. Options for everyone that wont break the bank. Thank you to the team and I believe her name was Shelly. Overall, 5/5 stars! read more

This has been my go to place for years and for past experiences I would give Spicy Chili Pho 4-5 stars. Portions are always generous and food always fresh. Delivery is usually pretty fast too, but last night was an odd exception. Super slow delivery, meat egg rolls a weird texture and the usual jalapeño chicken we order was tasty, but has a different flavor profile like bay leaves or something more earthy than this dish traditionally tastes, not in a good way. Will cut some slack, it was a busy Saturday night and will give one more try. Really hope this was just a one off and not the new normal, prices keep creeping up, but quality seems to have slipped. read more

I called to order for delivery. The person taking my order had difficulty understanding what I was ordering and I had to spell out my address. Obviously there was a language issue. As for the food it was bland, nothing special about any of it other than the crab cheese wontons, we're ok. I will not order from this restaurant again. Plus we ordered dumplings , charged and never got them. read more

The food here is good and relatively fresh. I've been getting delivery from here for years and finally decided to check them out in person. The dining room is small with 10 or so tables. The eggrolls are made fresh so the inside isn't mushy. All the flavors were on point but will stick to take out and delivery. The location is a bit unsavory right across from a weed shop and vape store so that's who's hanging around outside. read more

Okay, I decided to give this restaurant one more go since I believe in second chances. Today's my birthday and I ordered shrimp egg foo young AGAIN, and received something totally different!!! It looks like overcooked noodles (hard and inedible) with the side of shrimp and gravy with vegetables. I ordered two steamed rice and only received one. I'm done, and will never order from this place again. Happy birthday to me. Don't waste your time and money. OH, it also has so much salt in it that I will have to throw it away. read more

Spicy Chili Pho - Thai Curry Fried Rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Food is decent. The lady is rude. It's not good service. She asked the same question 4 times as if she didn't believe or understand we wanted to order 2 entrees. I've lived in the area for a while and this is the 3rd time I've tried it. Each time I've left disappointed. She should not be in the service industry if she does not like people. I won't be back. read more

Sadly we order from here all the time and their food is incredible, and they are always so fast with delivery! Today a few of us nurses ordered food and I ordered the lettuce wraps but didn't get the lettuce, so I called the restaurant to see if they can bring them back- they apologized and said next time I order I can have free egg rolls but that it's too far to drive.... But now I have a container of chicken mix and have nothing to eat it with. Very disappointing. read more

Spicy Chili Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

We ordered delivery and was excited to try the place. The menu is not very detailed. I had the pho and he had the sriracha beef broccoli and we ordered the chicken skewers. We DIDN'T receive the skewers. We called them to advise them of the missing item and the person that answered transferred us to a different individual. They proceeded to argue with us about the missing item. They insisted that we were incorrect and that they didn't make a mistake. They didn't offer to credit us, or to fix the mistake. Who argues with a customer? The food was just average. I will not be going back Update - the owner reached out and has attempted to fix the mistake next time we order along with some additional appraisers. I appreciate the effort. read more

It was our 2nd time eating takeout from here. It was so good. It was hot and ready in 10min. We are hoping to try and dine-in next time to try there Pho! Our kids also enjoyed it which is a definite plus. read more

Best cream cheese wontons in the Biz! Saw one review saying the wontons were a little crispy. This is very true but I love a good crispy wonton. Also ordered the chicken skewers very delicious. For entree we got the beef teriyaki and the Pineapple Curry. The curry could use more flavor in my opinion but the flavor that was there was delicious. The beef teriyaki was another delicious item. We spent about 60 including tip. Service was good and I think it is a family owned business. Seems like a lot of family or close people working together. read more

Spicy Chili Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Seeking something that offered delivery while my friend and I were studying, we consulted the Eat24 app and chose to give Spicy Chili Pho a try. I chose to give the shrimp pad thai a try and paired that with an order of crab cheese wontons. While my pad thai had more shrimp than I expected the peanut sauce used was quite sweet and tasted strongly of peanut butter. The wontons had very little filling. Lame. Looking at other reviews, I probably should've stuck to the Chinese portion of the menu. While our orders arrived in half the estimated time (about 20 minutes) there was still something left to be desired. Eh. Not the worst I've had, but I wont be ordering from here again. read more

Spicy Chili Pho - Shrimp pad thai and half of my crab cheese wontons. - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I ordered from this place through DoorDash and this will be the last time I order from them. First off it's very pricey which would be fine if it was worth the money but that's definitely not the case. I ordered regular sized lo mein, Thai beef salad, small wonton soup, and two Vietnamese eggrolls and let me tell you the eggrolls tasted burnt and the lo mein for a regular is 19.00 and some change, which is not worth it you can get it somewhere else for cheaper and taste better also their Thai beef salad is no Thai beef salad it was pretty much an American salad with iceberg lettuce, some jalapeños, chunks of tomatoes and some thin slices of beef on the top. and the dressing it came with looked like bbq sauce all I know is I'm never ordering from here again so not worth the amount of money I paid for everything..... read more

Pho was okay. We came in an hour before closing we were treated as if we had gone in 10min before. Overall I'll stick to my pho place in Hampden. read more

I'm not sure what all the bad reviews are about but spicy chili pho is great. We ordered thru door dash and out food came as promised and nicely sealed. The only complaint I can give is the cream cheese Rangoon's were a little crispy. The chicken lo-mein is great. It wasn't overly oily vs other places or too salty. I loved that i could add siracha and not have it mixed with oily noodles. The orange chicken is good, you could smell a little spice but it had great flavor. I normally don't like kung po beef but i tried it and wow. All the vegetables add so much flavor. The portions are huge, i was able to serve myself twice, get stuffed and still have left overs for lunch. Will gladly come back again read more

We will never eat at this place again, due to bad experience with lady taking the order! here's the situation We came in 12 minutes before the lunch special was about to end for takeout and the lady that was working there asked for us to sit down and we waited about 10 minutes before she attended us. I asked her if the lunch special was still available since it was going to be two minutes before 4pm she rudely told me yes hurry up and order! After we placed our order we waited another 15 minutes until our food was available I asked her if I can get extra soy sauce she told me that there were some in my bag already. I walked to my car and realized that she only put two packs of soy sauce in the bag for two lunch plates i walked back in the restaurant and ask her if she could give me extra she told me that she Only gives one packet per plate that I was NOT special for extra I told her why do you have to be so mean and that's when she started yelling at me saying she's not mean and I need to leave! I told her I'd give a bad review and she said she did not care. Zero stars! read more

Spicy Chili Pho - The restaurant. - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Spicy Chili Pho - Lettuce wraps - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

The food was hot and fresh so its not employee issues. But this meat (esp the soggy beef on pasta) was disgusting. It was horrible. Fake and artificial. If mcdonalds had pad thai this would be a top seller for them. But i didnt want drive thru meat. The mall is safer for asian food than this place. If i dont get my.money back on uber eats i Will always give them a Zero. The rice was all i could do mostly. So either im a princess brat or i shouldn't be non vegetarian. Idk whats wrong w ppl if they inhale this sorry this review seems mean but feed YOUR customers in america some true quality food. My goodness Pad Thai read more

I have ordered delivery from this restaurant multiple times and it has been exceptional each and every time. The food is delivered very promptly and is extremely well packaged. The portions are generous and the food is outstanding. I am literally addicted to the green beef curry! It is not inexpensive, but I feel very fair for the outstanding quality and generous portions. I will continue to order from here regularly. Thank you for a consistently outstanding dining experience! read more

Food was great. Customer service - terrible. The waitress was obviously racist. She asked for my boyfriend's ID when he paid with his card but a older white lady paid directly after him and she was not carded. Also she was just rude towards the entire time compared to how she was towards the other lady. She asked the other lady if she wanted water and treated her like how you're supposed to treat customers. When she took our order she stood like 10 feet away from us and sounded almost annoyed we were ordering more than one meal per person. I loved the food but the customer service makes me not want to come back or support this business. We still left a tip despite how rude read more

Grade a home style inexpensive Chinese food, nothing fancy, just well cooked generous portions of good food

I have lost track of how many times we've ordered from here over the last year. We are obsessed! I love that the pho comes packaged separately, and you get an abundance of noodles, bean sprouts, Thai Basil, jalapeños, and limes to go with your protein! You can get 2-3 meals from one order! Will continue to order from here in the new year! read more

If you're in Denver and in the mood for Vietnamese, this is a good place to get it. Nothing stood out as exceptional, but the food was good, the place was clean, and the service was more than acceptable. We'll be back the next time we're in Denver! read more

Service is gold to me and this place lacks. The food is average to me at best especially since there are such great options for Asian food in Aurora. The issue here for me is the owner (I think) is rude. I've only dined in once and didn't enjoy the pho but have had Chinese take out quite a few times since it is close to work. The Chinese has been OK but the lady at the front was so rude to someone at the counter last time as I waited I wanted to turn around and leave. I won't be returning the food is definitely not good enough to make up for the service. read more
