Great little restaurant!The staff were so kind, nice and clean restaurant with fast service. They gave us a complementary starting dish!The mamas curry was so good! Same with the sweet and spicy wings! The pho was alright but I would reccomend you try the many other interesting things from their restaurant

This place is really a hidden gem. Don’t judge it by the rundown strip mall that it is located in. The service was really warm and friendly. They brought us some complementary potstickers in a yellow Chris sauce that were amazing. Sorry I didn’t take a photo of that. The chicken wings were amazing. I really enjoyed the curry and Melody said that the pho was ok. If you are a pho enthusiast, there are better options. But it’s not bad.The curry, on the other hand, it was really fantastic. The prices are reasonable and serving size they’re huge

So delicious! The service was so wonderful. We were given chicken dumplings and a drink on the house, which were absolutely delicious!! I ordered a medium pho and the serving was HUGE. I couldn’t eat it all! Atmosphere is nice, service was amazing, food was delicious, decent location. I would highly recommend and will be coming back.

Awesome food and service. We had to wait about 15 minutes but the staff was so kind as to give us a free appetizer and ginger drink. On top of this the food was fantastic and they even topped off my to-go pho leftovers. Best experience I've had for Vietnamese in Denver!

This is the best Vietnamese food I've had in a long time. I had their dumplings, crabmeat soup, Pho Tai, Lamb Curry, and hand pressed ginger ale. All of it was delicious. Mini Vann was the waitress, had great recommendations, was kind and personable, and did her job well.Due to the experience and the food, I'll definitely be back.

Very nice service. The staff was super friendly. However, the food was very bland. Pho broth had little flavor and odd ingredients like whole baby carrots and the stalk end of cabbages. Drove 30 minutes to visit here based on recommendation. Restaurant was old and smelled like stale smoke. They bleached the table which the sanitation aspect is appreciated but the odor was very pungent throughout the whole meal. Would not recommend.

Stopped by mid-afternoon (about 15:00). Seated immediately. Advertised as Vietnamese and Chinese. The hot and sour soup was definitely one of the best tasting I have had over many years. The Vietnamese egg rolls with lettuce wrap, mint, cilantro, etc. was very good and the red chile sauce had me asking where I could buy some Son had tofu in sesame sauce and raved about it Easy parkting in this small strip mall. One appetizer, two entrees total $25.83 plus tip.

I can’t say any else besides being the best when it come to Vietnamese restaurant in Aurora. I believe to be family owned and run restaurant providing the best customer server you can ask for. They always give you freebies and tea for people waiting for takeout. They offer some of the best home-styled food, a little different stands out with other places!

The Best!!The wait at this 20 booth restaurant was about an hour with a line out the door. They've been here for years and you can tell from their ratings it's a local favorite that's well loved from people all over!The little restaurant is hidden in a small shopping strip next door to a Subway and across the street from a liquor store. The best hidden gems are found like this! But this one tries their best to take you away from the not so pretty out door view by creatively shielding their customers view of the outside parking lot with a wooden fence, to create a small outdoor patio with seats for the warmer weather, adorned with the yellow glow of Christmas lights. Step inside and you are taken back with the old 19th century, prohibition speak easy feel with the dimmed lights, leather pleated round booths, white table cloths and plants beautifully hung in each nook and cranny. Such a romantic setting or a great place to celebrate a get together with friends. You go inside and you don't feel out of place if you're dressed down in sweats or over dressed by wearing a Blazer. It's just that kind of feel.Once seated you are greeted with water and a smile while handing you their menu. It's not an overwhelming menu, but they have options for all! Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese food and let me tell you.. the delicious aroma that hugs your nose once you hit their front door has you already excited for what you're about to choose!We couldn't choose just 2 things to share.. we had to do this family style and just take the left overs home! We started with 2 Handmade ginger ales, the traditional Vietnamese spring rolls wrapped in a rice paper wrap stuffed with vermicelli noodles,leafy lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, shrimp and grilled pork. ($3.95), A cup of Blue Crab Soup ($3.95), A Cup of Hot n Sour Soup ($2.95), Chicken Wings ($9.95)... while we waited they brought us a complementary plate of fried curry sauced dumplings and their version of Crab Rangoon! Oh my it was soo delicious and we were pretty much stuffed now! But our food was coming... Matt got the Bun Bo Hue soup which is Beef brisket with rice noodles in a spicy beef broth. ($10.95) he said it was he most flavorful broth he's ever tried before! Considering how many pho places I've dragged him to, to review, that says a lot since he isn't usually a fan! He ate all his noodles miserably and had to take the broth home to go lol! I had to wait a bit for my dish to come out, personally I think they forgot my dish but they were so busy I understood. I received my Crispy Tofu with Spicy sesame sauce. ($11.95) it was sweeter than I expected and verrrry crispy on the outside and soft firm tofu on the inside. It was a delicious unexpected bite and I really enjoyed what I could eat of it! The side of white rice was a good contrast to kill the sweetness a bit. I only wish there were more vegetables. All in all.. we were two very happy customers who had no real complaints about anything. We found our new Asian spot and we want to come back and try everything else on the menu! When we were asking for our to go boxes our waitress was so kind enough to give Matt noodles to go for his soup, and both of us our drinks to go!The customer service here is amazing and the guy even remembered my name when we were in line to check out. I only told him once when I put my name on the wait list. Of all the people he checked out before us, I was impressed! They take such good care of you and really care about their customers experience!!If you're ever in the Aurora Area.. it's a MUST TRY!! But keep in mind.. they are only open Wednesday to Sunday 12pm to 8pm and they are busy every time! It's first come first serve, no reservation or online check in. So get there early!!

Easiest 5 star of my life. This was my first time visiting the restaurant and the service felt as if I was a regular. The homemade ginger ale is killer and goes amazing with a splash of Maker's. The complimentary dumplings, Thai tea, and drinks were wonderful. Ordered the bun bo hue, combination rice platter, and bun with pork which were all delicious. Only wish would be to make the grilled pork thit nuong rather than the Chinese style bbq pork, but that's just nitpicking.
