Pho 38 and Noodle House

Their phở is pretty good. I’ve also heard great things about their dumplings but haven’t tried them myself.

This place makes me never want to leave my neighborhood for fear of never finding another walkable place that can make you feel so comforted not only with food but kindness. The phở is absolutely on point (I prefer the meatball) and a great value, but they also have addicting Vietnamese egg rolls and other great entrees like the walnut shrimp. And yes, the rumors are true, if you are a repeat customer (or they want to make you one in the future!) they will throw in some free crab cheese wontons or egg rolls.

As far as phở places go, I’d say this was average. It has less options than all the other joints I’ve frequented. For example, there’s only small and large sizes. There’s no option for just phở tai which is my favorite.
The noodles were good. The brisket is very flavorful but a little fatty as all brisket is. The steak is good. If you’re in the area, I’d stay stop by and give this place a shot.

Awesome neighborhood phở spot. Food is always tasty and the service is super friendly. It’s my go to spot for phở on a cold night in the Highlands.
Order the steamed dumplings. AMAZING

It was cold.
We were hungry.
Check Unilocal,find phở place that got good reviews.
Phở 38 isn’t a fancy restaurant. It’s a small, hole in the wall kind of place that looks like it’s more of a take-​out place than a dine-​in eatery. Doesn’t matter. The food is exceptional and the service is good.
I ordered the Beef Stew with Wontons and Ho Fun Noodles. The broth was top notch and super hot. Just what the doctor ordered. The beef was tender and they did not skimp on the ingredients. There was a lot of beef, a good number of wontons and vegetables, and I was pleased to see that the bowl wasn’t 80% noodle.
We also ordered the Happy Family with Fried Rice. I loved how the rice was just a side portion and not a filler to cut costs. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors were great.
No complaints, if you’re in the Denver area and are looking for a good meal for one money, make sure you check this place out.

Solid chinese food in the highlands.
I came here with friends and was excited from all of the reviews to try a noodle dish. I’m from Hawaii and it’s hard to find lo mien, long flat rice noodles almost like phở noodles, here in Colorado. So when I saw they had this on their menu I had to give them a try.
Of course they did not disappoint. The sauce, veggies and chicken were all amazing a fresh. The portion was HUGE, but of course with my appetite I finished the whole dish.
I’m just bummed that I don’t live closer to here, otherwise I’d stop in more often.

As you can see from many of my reviews, Phở plays a large role in my dining decisions.
I’ll place Phở 38 firmly in the category of ‘neighborhood favorite’.
While nothing fancy by any means, this family run business is always warm, friendly and incredibly accommodating. They offer a solid, standard phở menu and everything comes out fresh and tasty.
I wouldn’t say that they are the best phở in town and there’s nothing fancy about the décor or the dine in experience they are well worth a visit if you’re nearby and looking for a quick and easy bite.

About 20 min from the airport. Got here around 8:30pm. Really friendly servers. Amazed at the speed and attentiveness of getting the food at this time. Got the small phở combination, $ 8. That bowl was packed really nicely. Good ratio between the broth, meat, and noodles. Meat was thick and lean, cut in nice big slabs. Some tripe and meatballs around. Broth was just a bit too salty though, which is why I’m cutting back on the star. Still love it though!

Fabulous neighborhood place. The Singapore Rice Noodle is outstanding! Their wonton noodle soup is perfect on a cold night. Staff are friendly and service is great. You can eat in or takeout. Egg rolls and cream cheese puffs are homemade and scrumptious. We like this place so much that we eat here almost weekly.

Everything we ordered was so good. Had Singapore Rice Noodles, Chicken Low Mein and Pad Thai combination. Apps of Spring Rolls, Egg Rolls and Cheese Wontons. My fav were the Singapore Noodles and Spring Rolls with an awesome peanut sauce. We will be back often!

The outside looks like another bad Chinese restaurant. But then you go inside and it’s clean. I ordered Kung pao chicken but instead of chicken they put tofu for me. I was so suprised, fresh vegetables! and they actually used Thai chili for spice! Glad I tried this place!

This place has been my go to phở spot for a few years. The broth is one of the best I have ever had! The usually throw in a free appetizer with your carry out order, it’s a mom and pop shop to die for!

Always fresh, fast & delicious. Nothing bad to say about this place. Love it! Very affordable and the staff is super friendly. Nothing nut good to days out this place!

The cuisine may be OK but the phở is an after thought. I ordered a seafood phở and was very underwhelmed. I stopped eating the meal because the seafood was very rubbery and had a slimy texture. I will seek phở elsewhere in the future. I believe if you have phở on your storefront window and you claim to be a noodle house you should have a better product then what I had today.

Very happy with this family run restaurant. It is slightly Americanized but that’s why I like it actually. Tastes delicious. :) I had the chicken and broccoli fried rice. Pretty good but the dumplings are soooo good.

I went here on a first date. It wasn’t expensive, which was good since the guy wanted to split the check. I’ll admit I questioned the first date status of the meeting at that point.
Anyway, he ordered shrimp fried rice while I got the wonton noodle soup since other reviews had said it was a specialty. My soup was definitely different than Vietnamese phở, but I liked having something new to me. I was expecting more veggies, but I liked the soup. The wontons seemed to have shrimp in them, which tasted good.
The two women serving us were friendly, and the place definitely started to get busier with takeout orders as we finished our meal.

As a professional Chinese person, I was dying for some *real* Chinese food in Denver. (You know, something without the word «fusion» in the name.) Stumbled upon this gem in the Highlands and I’ve been coming back every since. Everyone working there is super friendly and food is delicious.
Their Hong Kong wonton noodles are the house specialty — great egg noodles and a lot of wonton; getting it with beef just adds an extra kick. Their phở is a little unconventional because it’s not Vietnamese (the chefs hail from Guangzhou), but it has a great flavor and they don’t skimp with the meat and noodles.
Good prices, too. Highly recommend it.

The first sign that told me this place was going to be good was the construction workers filling up two tables. These guys tend to know where the good food is at that doesn’t cost you your left nut.
The other reason I liked this place was the two women running the place. For some reason, and judge me if you want, but I don’t trust any «authentic» Asian food unless the people serving me have an accent. Same goes for Mexican. I don’t want some white dude named Phil to be serving me my Phở.
Oh yeah the Phở was pretty good too. Great flavor and as expected huge portions. One of the only types of soup that can actually fill me up, and I prefer it to chicken noodle soup when I’m sick.

We have been frequenting this lovely family run restaurant for more then a year.
Whether dinning in our taking out the food has been excellent every time.
We have had several of their appetizers, dumplings, egg roll as well as the Vietnamese egg rolls, and have been pleased with all of them.
We have try many of the entrees and enjoyed them all and today we had the vegetable phở and the beef stew wonton soup. I have found my newest favorite dish with the beef wonton stew.
I just wanted to mention the broths for the phở and other noodle soups that we have tried are delicate, delicious and I can’t wait to come back and enjoy them again.
Great neighborhood restaurant, great chef and lovely service.

Not terrible, but not great either. Part of it is my fault for thinking they would have «bun», a Vietnamese noodle dish. When you call your restaurant a phở/​noodle house, one can be forgiven the misconception that you serve Vietnamese food.
The only thing Vietnamese here is the phở. Their spring rolls are the worst I’ve ever had; soggy noodles, two sad shrimp, and lettuce. The peanut sauce is watery and uninspired. No sauce on the table to dress it up either.
The lo mein was just stupid. They use a kind of noodle that is cheap and goopy; and ORANGE. They are orange because they have food coloring in them… I know because I’ve seen them (and avoided them) at the market. Tasteless, cheap, very little meat, limp vegetables.
The phở was OK but nothing special. Their selection of meats is minimal. The atmosphere is strip mall-​tastic, which would be OK if their food was awesome. But it’s really just limp and tired.
The second star is for the service; they are really very nice here. I almost hate to write a negative review, but I have to warn others, that if you have your mouth set for Vietnamese food, you will be sorely disappointed. This is bad Chinese hiding under a Phở name.
