Delicious pho and spring rolls every time ! Very quick and friendly service. Food is always very hot and fresh I love coming from here or even ordering Togo. read more

Overall I think the food from here is great, especially the Pho! The service could be a little better but the food is where it counts.

Flavor town. I've tried a lot in the menu and everything is good huge portions of food very affordable for the huge portions too. Call the Boba tea smoothies are great and the customer service is great I haven't had any problems read more

Tucked away at the corner of the Colorado Marketplace shopping center which is anchored by Safeway is this pretty nice Vietnamese Cafe with ample seating and outdoor patio. Got here for lunch and was promptly seated with a glass of water. The service is definitely spot on and within 5 minutes someone came to see if i was ready. I was. I'd looked over the extensive menu and was impressed by the assortment of well known Asian foods. I will admit that i am sucker for egg plant and they have an Sriracha Eggplant that really intrigued me. After varying that it would not be a burning inferno in my mouth (I can only take so much heat!) i decided to try out. It literally took 6-7 minutes to come out of the kitchen piping hot and with white rice. It was delicious. So much so that i almost finished the huge portion...but my senses prevailed and i did take some home. Wow, I'm not sure I've ever noticed this dish before it was great. The heat is medium to mild and it is all veggies with a tangy sauce that goes great with the rice. Overall a pleasant lunch experience and i am likely to come back. read more

Great egg drop soup love sweet and sour chicken not mushy real crispy and sauce is just right new place to go for this stuff read more

Vietnamese Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

I ordered the rare steak pho my husband ordered the combination grilled meat platter. Both dishes were very hearty portions and very delicious. This is one of our favorite restaurants. We visited on a Saturday night the place was packed every table filled. We like to support this business because it's family owned and operated. read more

Absolutley love the food and super family friendly. My son begs to go here and see his best friend, our regular server.

Always a favorite, the food is great and the staff is always friendly. Nice atmosphere if you eat in, I live nearby and prefer to pick up my order and it's always ready quickly. read more

I stopped in with my 3 year old son while our tires were getting changed across the street. I have always wondered about this place so I figured what better time to try! We were pleasantly surprised! Though we only ordered the pork spring rolls, the atmosphere was nice, and people ordering other meals around us looked delicious. When my toddler started getting restless, they dropped the check which I was grateful for. Will definitely return! read more

I brought my pet in because he was feeling ill, I got worried after the first day. But 2 days later my salamander "Ben" is happy and eating again. Thank you guys! read more

Great food and service. Went for lunch and were seated and served waters very quickly. Server was fast and attentive. Beef curry was bomb and portion sizes were so good. Definitely will be returning to try more of the menu. Restaurant was clean and orderly. read more

Have been looking for a new Vietnamese Restaurant since moving to the area and we have found it! Super fast, yummy Pho and Noodle Soup with a ton of flavor. Will definitely be back. read more

Mediocre Vietnanese cuisine that is more catered to the locals surrounding the area. It's the restaurant I'd go to when I am lazy and don't want to travel further west or south. Service is decent and interior is quite nice. Their menu selection is average but they do serve alcohol. Keep in mind this places closes on Mondays. Overall their menu is pricey for quantity of food compared to other Vietnamese restaurants further south and west. Parking is a shitshow during peak hours as they share their parking lot with the McDonald's and gas station across the street. It is a high traffic area so pulling into a parking spot or leaving can be a pain. read more

This place is decent. They always have a variety of viet food. Not the best place for pho in town but many great dishes otherwise.

Absolutely horrible service! We have been going here for awhile but the last two times the service was terrible. The food used to be good as well as the service but I'm guessing that management was switched or they just don't care to help people of color. I wouldn't even give them one star but I must to post this review! My family and I will never go here again!!! read more

Come for the food. Lunch special of $8.29 inc excellent egg drop soup. Upgraded to tofu spring roll for $1. Tea is extra $2.50. So not cheap lunch. Excellent service so tipped more. Busy yet quiet enough so I could take phone call. Not sure about wifi. Didnt ask. Wasn't offered. Really fresh Veggies. Creamy curry. Rice was best I've had in long time. read more

Whenever I'm craving for meat combination platter, this is my go to place. Portions are large, and food is delicious.

Amazing food and great staff. Never have a wait when I go in and good always fresh. Only place I go to get pho

Depart plane at D.I.A.. Pee. Drive by demon blue horse (don't hate) and head to vet on 104th to pick up Mr. Collins. Torn between two lover's....no food at home and one pissed off dog waiting. Greasy delivery at home...ah, no. I spied the sign for this joint. Two weeks of pho withdrawal and this oasis arises; DT's, spiders under skin, severe malnourishment. OK, ate really well in Chicago but didn't run into one pho place. Curious. HOT broth!! HOT burn your mouth and cooking the noodles perfectly broth. Needed no tweaking, no limes or sauces, just sprouts and jalapenos. There was half a cow in my pho. No really, I think it mooed. The ball-n-chain wondered if grandma was making the broth and millions of meatballs in the kitchen. The thing was, there was a huge selection of dishes and the pho was hidden in the corner of the menu. It really should have been more prominently placed on the menu. Cloth napkins. Woot! Nice veggie plate, served with fresh cilantro. Two sizes of broth, no nasty bits but the broth is great. Specify or you will get the large at a whopping $6.95 - damn the suburbs! Service, well you know, you have all been to Vietnamese places...it is what it is and isn't. Really. But if we are ever starving after a flight and need to pick up a hound, we will hit this place. read more

The restaurant has a giant Buddha Alter with offerings. The offerings consists of flowers, incense, fruit, diet coke (I think) in a glass, and a glazed chocolate donut. My guess is that the Buddha likes his daily chocolate donut and diet coke enough to bless this restaurant with talented cooks and lots of customers who love the food. Honestly, this is the best Vietnamese food I've had EVER. Granted I keep getting the same couple of dishes, but they are all excellent. Their seafood soup (like pho, but with a pork broth) lasts me two meals at least. The vegetables are fresh and crunchy. The combination plate has barbecued shrimp, pork, and beef with rice noodles. Egg noodle soup, delicious. My friend visiting from San Jose (which has a very large Vietnamese population) said that this food was better than what he's had in CA. Eat here. Your taste buds will thank you. UPDATE On my last two visits to this place, the quality has fallen. Maybe they are super busy, but my to-go pho had raw beef! Yuk! And on the second visit the barbecued pork was like leather. Proceed with caution, seems like the quality wavers a lot. read more

Seriously. NO. Don't go. There must be a lot of people in Thornton whose taste buds need to be checked or somethin, cuz these Yelp reviews are way off. But hey- that's just my opinion :) Came here upon Hans' suggestion but for his sake it was a suggestion from his coworker. We were starving after volleyball at Oasis in the area and decided to come for dinner. Got an order of egg rolls (which i think had beef in them..nasty). However I was starving so they did the job. I ended up eating mostly the noodles/peanuts they were served with, though. We each decided on small bowls of pho for our dinner. Pho shouldn't take 15 minutes to come out, especially when we're the only ones in the restaurant. But it did. And when it came....disappointment. The broth was so sweet! The meat cuts were cheap tasting, and the garnish the pho came with was limp and unsettling looking. Man I hate to be a bitch here but if it's one thing I'm snobby about, its pho. Don't waste your time and money. There are several, BETTER options up north- like Pho Duy. read more

As I say about a LOT of restaurants around here, this place's main flaw is that they're not in Brighton. Which is to say, most of Brighton's restaurant offerings SUCK. But I digress. As I sipped an iced Vietnamese coffee on their recently opened patio, it occurred to me I had yet to Yelp this place. Now, most Yelpers seem to think that pho is the be-all and end-all of Vietnamese cuisine. I ain't that big of a fan of pho, although I'm sure it's great here. Nosiree, what really trips my trigger is: The Combo Noodle Bowl, and this place delivers up the goods. Mmmmmmm., crispy viet egg-rolls, savory grilled meats and shrimp, fresh herbs, crunchy veggies, fish sauce, and a generous squirt of Sriracha hot sauce. MMMMMMMMMMMMM-booyah! Nice, clean place, even the bathroom is immaculate, service is great, friendly, yet unobtrusive. I tell ya, I could eat here every dang day of the week. Too bad they're not in Brighton. read more

Some of the best Pho I have ever had! Incredible broth and very fresh & tasty rare steak. Also, the Chicken & Eggroll bowl is great! Their Eggrolls and Fish sauce are THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. read more

5 stars isn't enough!!! I wish I could give it 10... What an excellent place to get the BEST Vietnamese food in Denver. I've tried many restaurants in the city but NONE compare to this one. I could go on for hours about the food...But I will keep it short and sweet. The combo platter(3 different kinds of meat, rice, egg roll and vegetables) IS SO DELICIOUS. Also the tofu veggie noodle soup is to die for! I've tried many items from the menu and EVERYTHING is SO awesome! Soooooooooo delicious. 10 stars for the service as well! Van our waiter(I always ask to be in his section) is simply amazing! He always remembers us and remembers our favorite food! Thanks for always treating us like family! read more

Typical Grocery Store shopping mall, McDonnolds in the parking lot, LQ store, Laundry-mat/H&R Block, Alberstons, Vietnamese Cafe..... you don't expect much. My Aunt took me here one day for lunch and I've been hooked ever since. Although I've only ever had one thing, it's served me well. The Lemongrass chicken noodle bowl and my new fav. the combination, steak, shrimp noodle bowl. I hate shrimp so I give them to my husband, but the steak is sooooooooo good! Anyway, it's wonderful and if you in the area, def. a good choice. Ive been here A LOT over about the last 4 years, and I've never not once had bad service or food. read more

I absolutely love this place! I find myself craving their food at least one night a week, and feel pretty good after eating it. We've taken some Denver friends to this place and everyone has had only great things to say about it. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and casual, nothing too fancy. It's the food that we really love though, we often call in to order our meals to go and they always are great. After sampling many items on the menu the only thing I ever order, because it is so amazing, is their beef noodle bowl with a soy-ginger sauce instead of the usual fish sauce. The beef has a sweet glaze to it that I really enjoy. It comes with Asian sprouts, cilantro, carrots, noodles, and some lettuce. My husband always gets the same thing too after trying the beef. When we want to treat ourselves we'll grab a Boba Smoothie from them as well - they have a lot of really fresh flavors and they're all really tasty. We've tried them all. This restaurant is a favorite of our family and friends, whenever we want to go out to eat but not feel like we've totally cheated on our healthy diets this is the place that we go to. read more

I had a noodle bowl with chicken and my gf had the grilled meat sampler with chicken, beef, and pork all on one plate, all marinated with lemongrass. We also started with some pork egg roles. Pho, Vietnamese entrées, and a full bar were also available here. My noodle bowl was good, and the chicken was flavorful, but the experience paled in comparison to the Vietnamese food I've experienced just a few miles away in Denver. Maybe this is decent for a Thornton restaurant, but it would never make it at Federal and Alameda. read more

I went back tonight to this place which had been a favorite spot for takeout 4 or 5 years ago. I had moved so I wasn't as frequent a customer. I had a hankering for their food and we went back tonight and we're just as pleased as ever. The curry is good, the seafood is good, the rice is awesome, the soups are amazing including pho, and the noodle bowls are awesome too. They are so good and often so busy that you might do a little waiting but nothing too extreme. It is the only place in the North Area I would go to for pho these days. My favorites are the shrimp or chicken curry or any Pho dish. Very kind service staff and Ambience await you if you choose to check this place out. read more

This place ROCKS! So glad I live right nearby here. I've tried the curry, pineapple fried rice, sriracha eggplant, and pho noodle bowl. All excellent! No wonder this place is usually so packed. Great service and consistency each time I've been here. They also have smoothies and a full bar here. Nothing like a hot sake and spicy noodle bowl on a cold winters day! read more

Thornton, Colorado-Behind a McDonalds and a tire shop in a strip mall in good ol' Thornton Colorado lies a little local gem called Vietnamese Cafe... perhaps oddly, they serve Chinese. And Vietnamese...But mostly Chinese. Any time of the year the restaurant is blasting arctic air conditioning so bring your jacket (and your earmuffs, gloves, and snow boots). Grab a hot cup of tea and calm down. Do yourself a favor and order the vegetable curry. It has no spice but even my spice-loving husband devours it. The sauce is creamy and flavorful with a slight hint of coconut. The veggies are slightly tender and well assorted. Pair it with rice and a vegetable egg roll and you've got an awesome meal- actually two meals. The portions are huge so I always bring half home to the Prince Charming. read more

I love this place!! They have great pho they also have the most amazing sesame chicken. My picky 8 yr old always eats all his food when we eat here. They are also fast and I've never had my order messed up here. Would highly recommend. read more

i called in to order for pickup. 20 mins later when i arrived, they didn't put my order in. okay.. so waited for another 15 mins. i ordered appetizer combination platter $8.99 .. the one togo looked nothing like what order yelper posted up here. it was bad. i also order bun thit nuong cha gio $9.99, yet there was only egg rolls in the togo box where's the meat? this is very disappointing to pay over $20 for crap and a wasted of my time . this is my second time here . won't come back ever again read more

Good food for a decent price. The staff is all very sweet and have been coming here for years.

I see 2 types of ethnic restaurants. First is the kind that makes authentic food, has a menu in their native language with a translation next to it. The other is type with everything in English and the Americanized in an effort for wider appeal. Vietamese Cafe is that sort of place. The place was packed when I went. Oddly, there was not a SINGLE asian customer in the entire place!!! The service was polite and fast. The place is impeccably clean too. The menu is hit and miss. It's hard to tell if anything is authentic if it all reads in English, maybe a dish isn't Vietnamese if you can't see a Vietnamese name with it. We ordered spring rolls, lemon grass seafood and beef curry fried rice. The spring roll wrapper was pastey and waterlogged. The lemon grass seafood didn't have any lemon grass in it. Lemon grass is used for flavoring and is inedible, but I'm used to separating it out when I go to Thai places. Maybe the removed it after cooking, but honestly I think they didn't use any. It tasted like Sweet and Sour Seafood. The fried rice was mushy. I doubt they used a wok to cook it, it tasted microwaved. There was no "Wok Hei"... that smokey taste you get from a food cooked in a blast furnace heated wok. The Good: Popular place Good intro restaurant for Vietnamese inspired food (in the same way Taco Bell is a good intro to Mexican Food) Very Clean The Bad: The food isn't very good. I'd give this place one star, but it's clean, well run and I'm sure it appeals to people who aren't ready for authentic Vietnamese food. It's just that I don't go to places called Vietnamese Cafe when I want American food. read more

Food's good - and they have generous portions for take-out, as well. This is the first Vietnamese restaurant that I've ever visited, so I don't have much to compare it to. My bf is a fan of the cuisine and thinks this place is okay - he wishes there were more exotic and authentic items on the menu, which has been "dumbed down" for Americans (the owner admitted this to us). The atmosphere is okay - the women like to talk really loudly in the kitchen and that can be frustrating if you're trying to have a conversation. Tip: This location is behind the McDonalds by Albertson's. There is no sign by the road, so if you don't know where it is, you won't find it. read more

The food was good, BUT they gave us an entire pack of rice wrappers for our lettuce wraps. Guaranteed, the 20 we didn't eat was going to the next table who ordered them. DISGUSTING! They need to give 10ish, not 30. I don't want someone else's leftover wrappers coming to my table. Their hands are probably dirty, or they may sneezed on them. It's NOT sanitary. I am grossed out... not cool. Why is this ok? read more

This place was an amazing surprise. Tucked away in a grocery store strip mall, you wouldn't guess the authenticity, nor how delicious it would be. We had the special mixed appetizer and the egg rolls were incredible. I had a noodle bowl and my husband had a shrimp and chicken dish with very flavorful basil. Both were huge, fresh, and scrumptious. They only thing we didn't care for was the thai iced tea. It was just too sweet. All in all, a 5 star!! read more

Love this place! My wife and I come in here at least once a week. The young lady who answers the phone knows us so well I just have to give my name and she know the order, 2 lemon grass beef, 2 egg roll (best I have had), and 1 wonton. Ready for pickup in less than 15 mins. Go in for happy hour and drinks prices are amazing. ( Sake here is Awesome) Awesome food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff keep us coming back. read more

Great lunch specials. Good food and service. Have to try the garlic crispy calamari and there grilled plates!!!
