OK, 4.5 stars. I just can't seem to give it the 5 stars that New Saigon got, even though they come very close to food quality and at a more reasonable price than New Saigon. 7 Courses of Beef is a must try. Come with 3 or 4 people and order the seven courses of beef for 2 and you will have plenty. You have to eat it with the "mam nem" or stinky fish sauce (as opposed to the regular fish sauce "nuoc mam") for the orginal experience. Their Banh Xeo is also great - Vietnamese stuffed crispy crepe. You've got to wrap it up with lettuce and herbs then dip it in fish sauce for a true experience. If you want lobster or crab on the cheap, this is the place to go! sometimes they have 2 lobsters for $25 - COOKED YOUR WAY. My favorite is stir-fried in Tamarind sauce, or the Ginger and scallions sauce is also good too. read more

I've been going to Viet's for years after a bad experience a few doors down at Saigon Bowl. The food is always outstanding especially #181 the pork with rice paper, hands down the best in Denver. They also occasionally have a special with 2 live Maine lobsters they cook with a ginger garlic sauce that is one of the best things you'll ever eat in your life. Unfortunately the tank is often empty and the dish unavailable. Here's what keeps Viet's from being a 5 star operation in my opinion. My partner and I have been going there since the late 1990's and even though they have retained several of their staff for years they never seem to remember us. The owner just sits behind the counter and never once has he come by to say hello or thank us for being long term patrons. Perhaps it's a cultural thing but appreciating customers is common courtesy and makes you feel special, heck it's just a nice touch. My other gripe is that they charge for refills on Cokes. They finally caught on I guess that their caucasion customers are soda drinkers so they stopped bringing out warm cans with ice and put in a machine. 3.00 for three fountain cokes (cost is about 15 cents a pour) which are half ice is ridiculous in my humble opinion. I feel like they know this and they're taking advantage. I'll be bringing my own in the future since for 3.00 I can get a 6-pack at King Soopers. I go to Viet's for the incredible food and that's the only reason. read more

Viet's is a great restaurant. I'm not sure if it's the best Vietnamese place in town but it has to be up there. The atmosphere is a little nicer than most, the menu is huge and food very good, so it could be the best. You might be able to get certain dishes better elsewhere, but for the variety and overall quality Viet's is something special. The house special is one of the best deals in town. And with liquor, wine and a decent beer selection, it makes for a nice dinner choice compared to many other Vietnamese places where you're lucky if you even find a beer. I am a very adventurous eater but I normally go to Viet's with my wife and 2-year old so there's a lot of interesting things that I'm sorry to pass up on the menu and specials. If they are as good as they sound (and look at other tables), this place would probably get 5 stars. read more

Yum Yum Yum! Great food and open until midnight! What a fantastic combination! I had the rice noodle bowl with shrimp, the one with the lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, vs the noodles below which are a soup. A huge bowl was brought to me with a bed of romaine, sproats, cucumbers, rice noodles topped with 6 grilled shrimp in less than 15 minutes of placing our order. The noodles were cooked al dente, the shrimp had a nice grilled texture and veggies were crisp underneath. It also came with a bowl of fish sauce and pork egg rolls. I gave my husband the rolls after tasting them to see if there was meat in them or not. Being a vegetarian, those rolls were pretty tasty. He got the cubed beef with garlic and pepper. It came with a pot of white rice. The beef was set on a romaine lettuce, tomatoes and red onions. Nice cuts of beef, very tender, nice sticky rice. A great meal. Meal came to $20 for 2, a bargain. The waitstaff was very helpful and informative. Very fast service. The hot tea wasn't quite as hot as I liked, but that was forgotten quickly through the meal. We even got free dessert, tapioca pudding with black-eyed peas. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Went to Viet's for the first time last week and will be going back! When we walked up, their main restaurant was under construction but we were directed to go next door to eat (the same food). We had the wing appetizer which was delicious and I ordered the Chicken Coconut Curry soup. I wish I could just order the broth and have it every day as a snack. Seriously so good. LOTS of food for a very decent price and also very authentic Vietnamese food/experience. read more

Ordered food from here. Was beyond disappointed. We order a spring roll platter and pho, all to go. The Spring roll platter was not fresh, egg rolls were old and soggy and "greens" were not green. As for the pho, the meat was old and soggy and the broth was sour. When we called them to let them know, they became argumentative and refused to take any accountability. Would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

When it is time to order at Viets you want to take your waiter by the arm and walk around and point at what the other tables are eating and say, "I'll take one of those and one of those and so on." Everything looks great. You can tell by the gusto by which the ethnic guests devour their food, you have come to the right place. Here is something that is not on the menu that is a must. They prepare it with either crab or lobster; which are live in their tanks. It is called garlic crab or lobster. To me lobster is the ultimate food. Viets' garlic preparation of this crustacean is probably the best preparation of anyplace that I have ever been. read more

OMG!! I love this place. We had 1 of my birthday dinners here this past week and it blew Jax out of the water. The wontons were very flavorful and almost as good as Peking Tokyo. The eggrolls were thumbs up as well. The menu has everything you could want in Vietnamese food. For the main dish we had beef 7 ways and it was fabulous! The beef came in waves, first with a cerviche type beef, a beef soup, fish wrapped in beef, shrimp wrapped in beef, beef wrapped in seaweed, beef rolls - overwhelming and awesome!! The three of us were stuffed and it could have easily fed four. After reading the other reviews here, I can't wait to try Siagon Bowl! read more

I absolutely love this place! Friday night pho is a staple for the bf and I through the fall and winter, I can't get enough of it. I recently went to a conference in NYC and this was the one place I wanted to go before I left! I always get a small rare beef pho, and I've never been disappointed. We also typically order the vietnamese egg rolls which I love to douse in sriracha, my mouth is watering thinking about it now. I can't wait to try the Beef 7 Ways, we just have to get together enough people to finish it! read more

Their service alone is persistent. They are very caring and kind! That's saying a lot because not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants are like this. My tea was always filled, I never felt rushed or judged. The minute I walked in I was immediately warmly greeted and welcomed. I first ordered spring rolls as an appetizer and I forgot to ask for no bean sprouts (I hate bean sprouts with a dying passion) which was my fault. Then I order the egg roll noodle bowl. When they brought the spring rolls out (within good time) they saw me individually pick out the bean sprouts. One of the servers saw me doing it and he went into the kitchen and told the chefs to omit the bean sprouts in my noodle bowl. I didn't have to say anything! They just knew. They were awesome. The food was phenomenal. I'm obsessed with spring rolls and vermicelli noodle bowls. Being Asian, growing up with my mother's amazing cooking, I know exactly how it should taste. I was so full and I hardly paid that much! I tipped them well and I will definitely be coming back during my lunch breaks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Don't be thrown off by he appearance of the place! read more

By far the nicest most accommodating staff I've ever encountered in the multiple countries I've lived & visited. Everything they make is delicious & you should order deliver FROM them, not Grubhub or whatever.. very hard working & extremely sweet w delicious food!! read more

I've been here several times in the past few months and it's always been good until today. Usually they're not busy so the service is good. Today, service was nonexistent after a few tables started coming in after my husband and I sat down. I ordered banh uot (rice flour rolls), goi ga (chicken salad) and my husband ordered pho ga. They were out of goi ga so I just ordered banh xeo. It was very crispy but all I could taste was pure oil. I'm all for greasy food, but it was soaked in oil at the bottom. The banh uot was good, but the meat came on the side and not inside the banh uot like I'm used to. We never saw our server after he set the food down. The other times we've been here, the food has always been good. My fave here is the com dac biet (special rice dish). I'll probably try some new Viet restaurants for now. read more

Great food at great prices! I've been here a couple times and haven't been disappointed yet. (I'll post the items I really enjoyed soon.)

Outstanding food and value" Great Service from an attentive staff....I will definitely be back!

Customer service: 3 stars. Our server was charming but a bit patchy in the memory department, and food came out at radically different times including a couple of mains before our starter arrived. Food: Five stars. With a menu this huge, you are bound to find something for everybody. Word from me is: get the goat in curry sauce (number 155). Tender like you wouldn't believe, with a great flavor. It's something I can guarantee you won't see everywhere and it's so worth having! The boba was nice too, though I found the lychee too sweet. Super props for being open on Christmas when nowhere else was. read more

I've been a big fan of Viet's since 2010 but lately, our visits have been less than impressive. It seems they may have a new owner or new management or something. I do know that none of the front of the house staff that were working there back in 2010/2011/2012 are still there. On our last several visits, the service has been pretty bad (slow, innatentive), food has been medociore and my husband noticed a lot of flies buzzing around. The noodles he brought home for me last night simply had no flavor. Very dissapointing. I guess it's time to find a new place for Vietnamese food. read more

Saigon Bowl was too busy for lunch so we tried Viet's instead... Bo luc lac (shaking beef)...beef was tough. it did come with plenty of greens with the vinegar dressing so that was a plus Wonton soup...bland Suon ram man (pork ribs)...good sauce but pork had little meat and lots of fat. Everything costs a little more then Saigon Bowl, about a dollar. Not a fan. read more

I haven't had a lot of entree's here that I have liked particularly. But then again, I didn't really get the full experience from what I had ordered with my other company. I will say though.. the most glorifying moment for this place was the Coconut dessert... It's a young coconut, they fill it up with coconut jello and pudding, and you still have the meat inside as well.. if it wasn't for this little treasure, I would have not been able to find myself coming back. In all fairness though, the service was decent on that day, where as I hear they are always really great. I will try again. Also, they are a little more pricey compared to ... Saigon bowl.. but, different things to offer. I will edit once I try again. read more

Today I had Spring Rolls ($3.50 for 2) to start and the Combination Rice Noodle Bowl ($7.95). The spring rolls were delicious. Some of the best I've had in any restaurant. The combination rice noodle bowl is my favorite thing I've had here. It has grilled beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp; all grilled perfectly. It also has an egg roll. The veges were all crisp and fresh. It's a great dish. I absolutely love this restaurant! The service is great and the food is delicious. The prices are very reasonable. If you're in the mood for Vietnamese food that won't break the bank, this is a great option. read more

I stopped at this place at 12:30pm on the 4th of July because my two first options were closed. Upon waking to this place they had two entrances but were separate restaurants. The place was full but we didn't wait long and was seated right away. I could tell they were short staff so I was trying to be more lenient with the service. We got our menus right away and after about 20 mins we finally got our orders taken. By this time the restaurant died down and it should've been more manageable. When I finally got my food. I ordered the bun bo hue. The broth was excellent but I felt like I didn't get enough meat or veggies like Saigon bowl next door or new Saigon down the street. To make the dining experience worse there was a pan handler going from table to table asking restaurant guests for their left over food. The staff let this continue on for a while as if they were oblivious to it. We hurried up to finish our food and left since it was really awkward and uncomfortable. I don't know if I'll return to this place again. read more

Traditional Vietnamese restaurant located on Federal Blvd along with other Vietnamese establishments. We started our meal with eggrolls and razor clams. Both delicious. For our main meal we ordered 7 courses of beef, bang canh Tom cua and Thai hot pot. The 7 course beef was ok, the beef congee and the rare beef salad were the tastiest of the 7. The Thai hotpot was unfortunately a disaster. The broth was sugary sweet and lacks the classic tangy tamarind flavor that's critical to Thai soups. While the food was mixed, an instant demerit for msg use as we suffered from msg side effects. Finally, the service was not good, not terrible but just lacking. Didn't come back to check on us, had to repeatedly ask for things. Sometimes you can forgive mediocre food for great service but when both are mediocre, a return visit is highly unlikely. read more

See all

Quite possibly the freshest and best quality Vietnamese food in Denver. Great prices and tasty dishes. I get the grilled chicken which has a fried egg on top of some rice and fresh cucumbers and other veggies as a side. Eggs on anything, better than butter! Their Pho is tasty and they have different sizes and prices. They even switch out the condiments! My fave was the day they had house made pickled jalapeños right on the table! Wish they would deliver! read more

Tried this for the first time today, for lunch, after shopping at the Little Saigon Supermarket. Food was great, we were really impressed. My husband had #218, the stir fried scallops with peppers and onions. He couldn't stop raving about it. I tried a bite too, and yes, absolutely delicious. Great flavors and the scallops had this incredibly light batter. I tried the #35, noodle bowl with grilled chicken, pork, beef and shrimp and spring rolls. It was good too, chicken was flavored with lemon grass which was really nice, shrimp had a nice grilled flavor too. I just love Vietnamese spring, (egg) rolls and am always on a quest for these. These were good too and I would order them as an appetizer next time. We'll definitely be back again and recommend to friends! read more

The best bun bo hue in town. My wife love it. I am please, to have her eat linh well during pregnancy... thank you

Pho was really good. I wonder if they read recent reviews on their service because we had attentive service. I definitely go back.

Really super fresh and tasty. Had the pork/shrimp pancake and spicy Vietnamese tofu and mushroom soup. Both delicious. Friends short ribs were a little salty but tender and still good. Service could have used some help though, it was a busy Tuesday night and poor kid was not on top of it. read more

Viet's Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have tried every pho place on Federal Boulevard and this is my favorite. The broth is absolutely delectable and the beef is top notch. Give it a try if you are in the neighborhood. You won't regret it! read more

We got take out from this place and even though we phoned in the order about 20 minutes before arriving we still had to wait another 30 minutes. All we ordered were two appetizers. The spring rolls were average but were a little heavy on the pepper. The grilled shrimp paste on sugar cane appetizer was decent. But not really worth the huge wait. I'll probably stick to Saigon Bowl next time. read more

Let's be real. The customer service here is not good. But if you only get takeout ever, the food is great!!! I always get the lunch special with chicken and vegetables, which comes with a big scoop of rice and a crispy egg roll. It's probably enough food for 1.5 meals and only $9. Did I mention it's AMAZING. I've definitely experienced the bad service other reviews mention, including sometimes waiting for my takeout order beyond what is normal, but hey it's worth it. read more

This place is the real deal! After a 24 year stint in SoCal chowing down at hundreds of different Asian joints, I was craving a similar dining experience to the Vermont ave area of LA. It's like I never left the hood. Open late and with the same excellent dishes offered in LaLa land,this will be a regular feeding ground for me read more

I'm Vietnamese and this is definitely the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever eaten at in the U.S. Highly authentic, fairly priced, huge portion, and the food was absolutely delicious! read more

This is one of those places that features an eclectic menu which has something for everyone. Generally most people will go for pho. I went ahead and tried their rice plate with grilled beef. At first, I was definitely confused because I thought it'd be a fried rice dish. Thus, it's best to ask the waiters which rice plates on the menu are friend rice or not. The grilled beef had a spectacular flavor to it and my stomach thoroughly had a flavorful party with the meal. My associates who were with me are big fans of the pho served here. The only foible that I saw is that some of the waiters don't speak English as their first language so it may be difficult to communicate allergies or anything you don't want on a particular dish. Additionally, they may have forgot to make my meal because it took twice as long for my order to get for me than it did for everyone else at the table. My meal cost me $10 (tax and tip included). read more

Food is meh. Have had better Vietnamese food elsewhere. Now on to the customer service...if you are not Vietnamese expect to not receive great customer service point blank. Management is definitely biased towards people of their own ethnicity. There were 3 parties of Vietnamese people seated around us and 2 other parties that were non-Vietnamese. We had to wait forever and a day for the waiter to come and take our order. There were 9 of us and we only received 4 cups of green tea...yeah you do the math on that one. We asked for 5 more cups and never got them and we told the server like every time he came to our table which was all of like 6 times and that was mainly to deliver our order. On top of that, normally your utensils are already placed on the table when you're seated, not the case here. Half of us ordered rice plates and the other half pho. The utensils for the rice plates came on the plates but not the pho. After delivering our food, we had to wave the server down for chopsticks for the pho. The servers never came to check on us or if we needed anything but they sure did check on the other tables that had the Vietnamese parties. They had bottles of green tea so they could pour it themselves while we had 4 cups for a party of 9. Oh and they had cloth napkins like for banquets. We had to ask for napkins and we got little paper napkins. Never eating here again and would never suggest to anyone to eat here. The food was tolerable but the service was nauseating. I would give -5 stars if I could. read more

HAIR IN MEAL ~ x 2 My brother and I was gonna try this for the first time because dons Saigon bowl was closed on Tuesday's. Place seemed clean. Food was pretty good! Half way through the number 35 my brother pulls a thick black hair out of his mouth. The server saw him pull it out deep from his throat!! Wtf ~ server came over not knowing what to do and not understanding English my brother was expecting a new number 35. 15 min go by no one came to discuss and no new food. When we went to check out nothing was said. I finally said I don't think I should have to pay for a meal that we stopped eating because of a hair. The personal didn't even know how to apologize for it correctly. They did take the meal off finally. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD! The table behind us at that time pulled a big hair out of her meal!! GROSS! Management (owner? ) looked like she couldn't believe it and didn't know what to do?!??? GO APOLOGIZE!! Say sorry Don't charge for the meal! read more

Good GOD this place is amazing!!!! I have no idea what the heck I ordered but it was insanely good. My friend gave me some of his dinner too and it was just as good! The staff was very professional and friendly too. So happy I found this place! read more

Found a hair in my food. I waited about 15 minutes for a waiter to take our order. I also waited another 40 minutes for the food to come out. The hot pot came out but the seafood salad didn't come out until another 45 minutes after we got our hotpot. We were done eating when they brought out the salad. They made us pay because we ordered it. When I took it home, there was a long black hair in the food. Probably won't be going back ever again. read more

I was almost positive I was going to get food poisoning the other day. We had ordered a meal that included several types of fish and were seated right next to the fish tanks. Because of our seats we had a first class view when a fish died in the tanks and the other fish started to eat it. The tank itself was gross and the staff never noticed what had happened in the tank. We were never asked what we wanted to drink, only poured tea and then ignored. We won't be coming back. read more

BEST Vietnamese in Denver. The staff is so friendly and helpful. So far it's the only place I've found Banh Xeo. At a fraction of the price of the better know Vietnamese restaurant down the street this place is the true Jem. read more

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. I had the chicken pho, n he had the seafood pho. Which was wonderful. My favorite thing was the grilled mussels. They are the best ever. :D I can't wait to come back again. The people are so friendly and helpful as well. read more

Popped in for lunch after a foot reflexology appointment upstairs. I ordered the Pho Ga and spring rolls. Both were great! Came very quickly, so if you're in need of a quick lunch, head here. You are also served complimentary (and refillable) iced jasmine green tea. An excellent surprise. Staff were attentive and very friendly. I will definitely be coming back! read more
