Pho Vy – Aurora

New to the area and i have tried several different phở restaurant (including most that for some reason have better reviews). With my college kid back for the week, her request was «phở». so we came here and were not disappointed.

While they may not have the best phở in the area… they do a fairly good job. I prefer a LOT of flavor in my broth… and this is so so. A lot of sriracha and jalapeño helps… but I don;t like to doctor up too much… I like to accentuate only!
The dining area is really clean and open, there is plenty of seating, so if you happen to go during a busy lunch rush, chances are that you;ll still be able to find a table easily and get served quickly.
On my visit here, I had the vegetarian phở (because this girl LOVES tofu!) with beef broth instead of the veggie broth, There were a lof of veggies present, which is HUGE. Pack those broccoli florets, cauliflower, mushrooms and carrots in there!
Definitely will be back, close to work and satisfies the phở-​urge.

They are incredibly rude. We came in about 45 mins till closing and dropped our food off aprox.20 til closing. They made us close out our check before being even close to done eating them mopped with strong chemical smell all around us till we left. The time before we walked in about 30 mins to close and they refused to seat us as they only do take out after a certain time yet don’t advertise this.

Right when my phở got to me there was a fly in it: so I knew it was there before the phở went into my bowl considering I was sitting at the bar, and you can watch them make it from the kitchen. Disgusting. I walked out immediately.

Phở-​Vy has the best Pad Thai I’ve tasted. I usually get the shrimp and the shrimp portions are fantastic and tasty. I’ve tried both locations in Aurora and Parker. Very good!!!

Pretty delicious. All of them speak Vietnamese.

The phở here is inconsistent. Their broth has little to no flavor and they skimp on the noodles. I asked for cilantro, and they didn’t have any. I ordered rare steak and got brisket, which had a lot of fat on it. I told the server I didn’t want it. When I told the manager that I didn’t want it, and to please give me my check, she actually started to yell at me. I should never have come here. Phở Lee on Arapahoe and Clinton is way better. They are consistent with their food, and their service is unmatched.

Aurora, Colorado– When I walked into what looks like a 50’s diner I thought I may be in the wrong place until I noticed the siracha and hoisin on the tables. The light jazz was easy listening after a long day and that I appreciated as I reviewed the menu with vegetarian and vegan options. My veggie egg rolls were lightly fried and divine. I devoured them. I especially love the perfectly pickled veggies that come as an accompaniment. The phở had the perfect blend of ginger and spice. The only minor addition I would make is to have thinly sliced white onion added. I’ll be back when I’m in the area.

Subpar service, food was OK… nothing great about this place!

This place has less of an Authentic feel than most phở restaurants, but it’s in the suburbs, so…
The inside is clean and looks like a diner without napkin holders. The service was attentive, friendly, and patient. Our orders were accurate. The brisket was juicy and tender. The tendon wasn’t disgusting. The broth was aromatic and tasty.
I had a belly ache that night, but it was probably because I ate a sauce I shouldn’t have, and it probably contained gluten. Overall, not bad.

This would be two stars in many parts of the Denver Metro area. But, for a place near the intersection of Parker Road and Arapahoe, it squeaks by with three. I had been meaning check this place out. I see frequent coupons in the Val-​Pak mailers, but of course I did not have one with me on this impromptu visit.
The Good:
This is where the short-​lived Maid-​Rite (home of the loose meat sandwich) was previously located. So, it is in a good location, still has the retro-​ish chairs, and is not too crowded inside. My service was good. The pricing was not bad considering the amount of noodles and meat and veg.
The Bad:
My veggies were so cold as to be borderline frozen on the bean sprouts. I only put a few of them in the soup so as not to cool it off too much. It was just a rather boring bowl of Phở that could have (should have) been better.
The Ugly:
The broth. Okay, it was not terrible (no strong off-​notes). But, the predominant taste was just salt. There was no richness, complexity, or (wait for it) depth of flavor. And with Phở, «If you ain’t got good broth, you ain’t got nuthin’ bruddah.» (I was trying to channel my inner Doug Y. on that last comment)

I went to Phở Vy to meet my dad and brother after work. By the time I showed up, they were already finished with their food but I still wanted to eat.
I sat down and took them 10 minutes just to bring me water. They didn’t bring me a menu at all. One of them was chilling and watching the Broncos game and the other ones were talking and eating. My dad, brother and I were 3 out of the 5 customers in the restaurant. I waited a little longer to see if they would take the initiative to come up to me to even ask if I did want to eat. No one did. I wasn’t going to get up to ask them for a menu because, well, it’s your job to bring it to me.
I don’t expect great customer service out of Phở places, but man, every single one I’ve been to has been prompt to get my order and bring it out in no time.
This was my first time here and it will be my last. Guess they don’t want business.

Came her for lunch on a Thursday. I ordered a lunch special (grilled pork with rice, veggies, and sauce). Very happy with quality of food and quantity. I will definitely be back!

The Positive: We were seated right away, booth next to the window (great lighting), waitress was nice and the food came out right away.
The Negative: We found a bug on my boyfriends plate. When we notified the waitress of the bug, she had a quick huddle with the cook, they offered to make a new plate, we rejected that offer and left immediately.

Not too much interaction as far as service goes. The phở broth has little to no flavor. I would highly recommend driving west on Arapaho to any of the phở restaurants there. Didn’t feel invited here and the experience went downhill after tasting the phở but I was hungry.

2 black hairs in my food! I am a blonde. Noticed upon leaving neither man in the kitchen was wearing a hair net or a hat while preparing food. My next call is the Tri-​County Health Department. I know if you prepare food you must have your hair covered. Just plain GROSS! Needless to say I’ve lost my appetite for the night.
On prior visits the food was ok enough that I didn’t feel the need to drive an extra 10 minutes to another phở restaurant. Food is very salty, and meat is clearly of lower quality. Décor is from a Made Rite burger place that went out of business. Yes, it’s kinda weird to be eating phở in a 50 ’ s style diner.
Won’t be making the mistake of going here again!

This is a decent spot for phở — under $ 6 for a small bowl and was flavorful enough to hit the spot but it wasn’t memorable. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here but if you’re shopping in this center and a phở craving hits, it’s a legit spot. As some others have mentioned, this place has a diner feel to it and even the 50’s-esque booths and stools so maybe one day they’ll establish more of a Vietnamese/​Asian restaurant atmosphere. Since it was a diner in a former life, the kitchen is right there and unfortunately we were there at a slower time so that meant the kitchen staff staring at us while we eat phở. It was borderline creepy/​awkward but for cheap, tasty phở I could deal.

I am glad my husband and I tried this place but it is not going to be high on my fast food places. There was plenty of food and we did take home ½ our meals.
My husband had diced steak. The meat was tender and he enjoyed his dinner. I had Pad Thai and there was so much chicken but it did lack in the flavor I am use to at other places.
Service was ok and it was fairly clean except the soy sauce container and one of the menus we got. We almost left but did want to give it at least a try.

On my 3^rd visit, its still sub par. Didn’t get my money’s worth.

It’s been about a month since they opened and several of my Viet friends ate here and didn’t complain too much so it was my turn to check it out.
Place is new therefore, very clean. Nice clean furniture, left over from precious business. I came to eat phở at phở restaurant and if clean, that’s a big plus for me.
I ordered my favorite Chin Nam medium size. I must ate more than 100 bowls stretching from Federal to I-​70, Havana strips and now here.
CON: absence of chili paste on the table. Regular size bowl of phở was tad smaller than other places. Felt like I was getting cheated
PRO: Soup was good, tad sweeter. It wasn’t salty so that was plus. Plenty of sprouts, basil, lime slices and jalapeños. No long green leaves.
Wish them successful future since it’s just stone throw away from my den.
Like previous Unilocaler said… please don’t be putting on fake 5 star ratings when you have only written one and only review and … that one review is this place. That’s lot fishier than any fish sauce you have. Sometimes no review is better. Don’t be like Phở Duy!
PS: I see that fishy 5 star review has gone incognito.

To me, nothing feels more gringo than walking into this place. It looks like a 1950’s style diner with lame music with only white people dining. On top of that, I get a fork with my chop sticks– major red flag! Nonetheless, it comes down to the food.
I know phở is a very complicated dish with many interpretations but I just was not a fan. It was very aromatic yet the taste was just off. I cannot pinpoint why but it did not work for me. I was disappointed that I got just a little bit of mint and absolutely no cilantro. Siracha is the only option I had to add any spice (or flavor) to my soup. It just came up short on all levels.
And I took off one star because it annoys me when a business reviews itself and gives itself 5 stars. Not cool!
