The ABSOLUTE BEST Pho in Denver! 🍜💥

I had a 7-hour layover in Denver, and thanks to a recommendation I saw from a fellow foodie, I decided to take the shuttle bus from the airport just for this meal! The place is called O Lien Kitchen, and let me tell you—it was the BEST decision ever! 🙌 🚌 A quick heads-up if you’re taking the bus from the airport: Be careful which ticket machine you use! We bought tickets from a machine that only sold the “Upgrade” type (like the one in the fourth photo, $4.50), but what we actually needed was the Airport Day Pass for $10! The bus inspector told us we had the wrong tickets, so we ended up buying new ones on the spot. 💡 Pro tip: You can buy the correct pass directly in the RTD MyRide app! We took the bus to the final stop, then grabbed a rideshare to the restaurant—about $13 and 15 minutes. As soon as we walked in and heard the accents, I knew we were in the right place! 😄 And the pho? INCREDIBLE! 🍜 The portion was huge, loaded with tender meat and fresh herbs. The broth was deeply flavorful, and they even served this amazing shrimp paste-like condiment that made everything even more delicious. It was so satisfying—it instantly washed away all the travel fatigue! 😌 The serving was so generous that my boyfriend and I shared one bowl and were totally full. After the meal, we took a rideshare back to downtown and wandered around. I kid you not—I would fly back to Denver just for this pho! If you’re visiting Denver, don’t miss this spot! 🏆 #FoodieFind #DenverEats #PhoLover #LayoverAdventure #StudentEats #DenverFoodGuide #VietnameseFood #MustTry
