Pho79

I am rating 2 stars because of the service not the food. We were there at 1:15 today and the host walked so far ahead of us and put 2 menus on the table and walked away. Literally we wouldn’t have known where our table was if we weren’t watching. After that the service wasn’t great. The food was good, but not great.

I ordered the summer rolls with an order of shrimp phở. The summer rolls were awesome but the problem came with the shrimp phở… The broth was rather bland and the shrimp were very rubbery. Not to mention, service sucked! The waiter was much more interested in talking with his friend than to wait on tables.

Had my first phở here a few years back. Came back today Nd had #6 rare beef and brisket and Thai tea. Tea was definitely on the sweet side, phở was excellent. The broth is so flavorful. You add the thai basil, bean sprouts, lime juice and jalapeño. Simple and yummy.

So, so phở. I’m giving this review 3 stars only because they have a vegetarian phở which is hard to find (and let’s face it, really isn’t phở). The phở was okay. The veggie broth was pretty good but the noodles were in a clumpy knot. Service was glacial.

I wish there was less than 1 star to give. I was told my meal was gluten free but it was not. On top of that, the service was rude and the place was dirty.

This was the place I was originally coming to visit when I detoured into another place. Made a special trip today for lunch and it was okay, but just that, okay.
The broth was a little thin, and the noodles were still glued together at the bottom of the bowl, which made the entire bowl lukewarm. Wished I had gone back to the first place I visited, instead of here.

Four of us went here for dinner last night. Phở was pretty good. Spring rolls were disgusting, sent back and still charged (whatever). Main issue was that the service was terrible. Server seemed annoyed to have had to take our order and disappeared once the food came out only to send someone else to drop off the check. We were drinking and couldn’t even order a second drink.

Food is average and service is poor. Been there twice and both times I felt like their «service» stunk. I can get average food anywhere else with much better service.

I’ve been coming here for years and now the food is going down hill. The chicken is rubbery and nasty. I will be seeking another Phở place downtown. Pho79, get it together!

Such great service and it is very quick! I go here for lunch about once a week and I’m always greeted with a smile! B4 is what I get and it’s always great and so fresh. It’s always so busy during the winter since it’s so great.
I’ve also heard the rare steak phở is the best especially if you add some siracha! Best phở in downtown by far!

Yeah it’s ok. Not really that authentic but you can order the typical things you get on a Vietnamese menu. It’s a big enough place so you could always get a table and if you want a couple of drinks next door afterwards it’s pretty convenient.

False advertising. Said they’re open until 8:30pm on Sundays, door was definitely locked at 8:05

I loooooove phở 79 so when I realized there was one downtown I was even more excited about moving to LoHi. This place is by far my favorite phở restaurant and I’m kind of a phở snob. My only complaint about this spot in particular is that they do not offer «small» bowls of phở so I am obligated to order a medium which I could never finish. If it wasn’t for that minor hiccup, they’d get 5 stars.

Stopped here during the workweek for lunch. We had a large party and once seated and finally we got our waiter’s attention we put in our order right away. We all ordered phở and a few appetizers. They brought us out our egg rolls but forgot the summer rolls. Then they brought out everyone’s lunch except mine (after other groups who arrived later than us had already gotten their food) so I politely asked if we could get our summer rolls and my lunch. I waited another 10 minutes and then asked again and finally 10 minutes after that our waiter walked over and must have seen the look on my face asking if everything was all right and I once again told him I was waiting on my lunch. Once I finally got my food it was good but the service was not good.

Such expensive food, for two regular phở’s and two orders of summer rolls ended up paying $ 51?! Not only were the summer rolls loose the shrimp still had shell residue attached to them. The peanut sauce that came with it was very soupy and gritty. I’ve always known phở reatraunts to be delish Vietnamese home cooking for a very reasonable price, sadly this establishment did not hold that standard. Even though the location was very clean and modern it did not feel very welcoming.

The best thing were the shrimp «Summer rolls» with peanut sauce.
I had Phở with tripe, tendon and brisket and I’m used to more of each in my phở. The broth was plain and the add-​ins appeared just thrown on a plate. I don’t think the server ever said a word the entire time I was there.

Exceptional Vietnamese Food, authentic recipe. I ordered the combination vermicelli noodles, It’s excellent. The best that I find since I moved out to Denver from San Francisco Bay Area.
Great food, attentive servers, reasonable price, clean atsmophere. Highly recommend this place.

Not bad, but not great. The service was blah at best. Seriously it’s all about the location.
If this place tried to do business on Federal it would be closed down in a week.
The Phở was bland and the overall experience is forgettable. Priced fair and there’s plenty of options pretty much cloned from every other Phở spot around. So not much out of the box here.
If you’re downtown craving phở and don’t want to go 10 mins away to federal then this place will do the trick.
On a positive note it was clean, convenient, and there’s sports on the TVs.
They are also honest about using MSG which I appreciated. Sad there’s no place serving Phở that doesn’t use this awful flavor enhancer. Bonus points for honesty!

This is a great place to grab some phở! Been craving it ever since our move to Denver and while it isn’t home, this place can definitely compete.
I really like that I can sit next to the window and look down into the street while I eat. The prices are decent and here you have a choice between regular and large. The regular is still huge, of course and haven’t finished a bowl yet.
The selection of flavors is pretty basic, I’ve been going for chicken or meat ball. Nothing super special but definitely hits the spot.
Location is awesome, just off the 16^th street mall near a ton of places you have to go anyway.
Only complaint is service can be a bit slow after you get your food. The last few times we’ve been, we got up and asked for our check at the counter.
Great place!

Is it the best I’ve ever had? Nope. But is it the best in Lodo? HELL YEAH! It wins by a gazillion miles. It was on a cold day so this was perfect.
The broth here is so clean, just pure goodness. The moment I stepped into the restaurant, I said (pretty loudly) «this smells like heaven!» I was not disappointed at all. I ordered the regular portion meatball phở ($ 8). But honestly, whether it’s the traditional beef phở, chicken phở, or bun bo hue, I’ve never left with an oil slick in my belly, nor dying of thirst from salt/​msg overload. The only thing strange that day was having lemon instead of lime on the veggie plate.
The prices and portions are just right, and if you need something light, the salads are perfectly balanced as well.
The service is warm, charming, efficient, and prompt.
