Wonderbowl expands Pho Duy’s menu, with Vietnamese-style steaks, Western-style pastas and stews, and more.

Golden Saigon has occupied the same strip-mall spot in Aurora since 1995, all the while serving up homey Vietnamese staples like pho along with entrees you don’t often find on Vietnamese restaurant menus — like curry. Though Vietnam isn’t known for its curries, says owner Mama Le’s daughter, Van Le, Golden Saigon’s version is actually […]
There are a lot of options for banh mi in the metro area these days, but the Huynh family that founded Vinh Xuong Bakery served the sandwiches decades before son Duc Huynh opened his stylish and sunny cafe in 2011. He’s continued his family’s banh mi tradition of using baguettes baked in the shop every […]
The former owners of Saigon Bowl opened Saigon Basil in Northglenn in 2013, bringing a taste of Federal Boulevard’s Little Saigon district to the northern suburb. This is far from just a simple pho joint, however; you’ll find a menu as thick as a phone book, each dish dialed in with vibrant Vietnamese herbs, seasonings […]
Golden Pho & Grill is no longer the newcomer on Federal Boulevard; it has occupied its strip-mall spot since 2013 and is still standing its ground against the street’s com-pho-tition. The servers at Golden Pho are proud enough to let the food speak for itself, yet friendly enough to strike up conversations about the relative […]
Pho Lee opened in Greenwood Village in 2012 and brought authentic Vietnamese cuisine to the Denver suburb. The restaurant space may be small, but the food is always fresh and the staff friendly and helpful. The founder had worked at the original Pho 95 with his brother before deciding to open his own restaurant; the […]
While now-shuttered neighbor New Saigon offered a phonebook-sized menu with every possible combo of protein, noodle, rice and sauce, its spinoff, New Saigon Bakery, draws regulars with super-sized banh mi on house-baked French baguettes. Salty-sweet barbecued pork, luscious pâté and generous stacks of deli meats make for stellar sandwiches. Beyond banh mi, there are also […]
Although known for hearty noodle soups brimming with slices of our favorite cuts of beef that we crave when the weather turns chilly, this outpost of Pho 79 also features regional Vietnamese specialties that are perfect any time of the year. On hotter days, we’re fond of sharing a plate of banh xeo – egg-and-rice-flour […]
The Pho 95 in the Streets at SouthGlenn isn’t quite the same as the original on South Federal Boulevard. For one thing, this outpost on South Vine Street has a much larger bar and a very respectable craft beer list; it even offers a decent list of sake. The kitchen here is also more expansive; […]
Located in a sea of noodle shops along South Federal Boulevard, Pho Duy still serves the best pho in town from this former KFC it moved to in 2015. The aromatic broth, fresh and flavorful meats, and options far beyond the standards – there’s even a vegetarian broth – keep this pho joint on the […]
Every bowl of pho is just a little bit different, and every fan of Vietnamese cuisine has a preference. But Denver as a whole has latched on to Pho 95 as its favorite destination for big bowls of beefy broth and rice noodles. And that’s no wonder, as owner Aaron Le has delivered consistency and […]
Fresh, pungent herbs, pronounced spices, big plates and lovely service are the hallmarks of Vietnam Grill, a busy strip-mall scene-stealer on Federal Boulevard that, like its neighboring competition, is all bright lights and no-frills decor. But this isn’t a see-and-be-seen joint: You come here for the dazzling, adventurous food – and you keep returning because […]
Jammed into the corner of the Far East Center, Viet’s is the unsung emperor of Vietnamese restaurants, the handsome prince among the plebes of Federal Boulevard, the kind of discovery that every gastronaut dreams of making. And there’s no discovery here more dazzling than the House Special, which includes an array of different dishes – […]
Tucked into a fancy strip mall, Saigon Pho looks like one of those joints offering nothing more than the dim and thrice-removed flavors of the mysterious East on a menu full of badly Photoshopped pictures. And yes, there are a lot of pictures on this menu, but those pictures show very good and surprisingly raw […]
The kitchen at DaLat Vietnamese Cuisine is run by Ha Tran, a mother of five who infuses a home-cooked feel in every dish listed on the behemoth menu — make that menus. This embarrassment of riches can make ordering a challenge, if only because there are so many dishes that beg for your attention. Still, […]
This small, brightly lit sandwich shop is a destination both for Vietnamese immigrants looking for an honest taste of home and adventurous gastronauts looking for a taste of foreign climes. Both appreciate the banh mi, the classical collision of French and Vietnamese culinary tradition that resulted in a wonderful spread of sandwiches – most of […]
Looking for good Chinese takeout? Then look no further than this small, family-owned Aurora restaurant, which offers dine-in, takeout and delivery service within a five-mile radius. There really is nothing better than settling in for a Netflix marathon with waxy white boxes filled with fried rice and crab-cheese wontons. East China has an impressively large […]
There are some restaurants where the world does not intrude — rooms where time does not pass, weather never changes, current events go unnoted. Pho Saigon is one of those places, unaltered by time and circumstance, with service that”s always quick and friendly. Another constant is the excellent pho, but the menu also extends to […]
The Palace is like a veiled citadel hidden in plain sight, a secret fortress protecting a big secret. And that secret is great food, including dim sum on the weekends and prix fixe lunch and dinner specials every day — along with a large regular menu that’s heavy on all the standards done much better […]
