π The BEST Pho in Denver β Worth a Layover Trip! π
During a 7-hour layover in Denver, I made the spontaneous decision to take the shuttle bus from the airport just for a bowl of pho β and it was the best decision ever! π€© The place is called O Lien Kitchen, and trust me β itβs a hidden treasure! π₯’ β οΈ Heads-up for airport bus tickets: Not all ticket machines sell the same thing! We accidentally bought an upgrade ticket for $4.50, but what you actually need is the Airport Day Pass for $10. The bus inspector helped us out, and we repurchased on the RTD MyRide app β much easier! π² We rode to the last stop, then took a $13 taxi (about 15 mins) to the restaurant. The moment I walked in and heard the accents, I knew β this was going to be legit! πβ And wow β it was BEYOND delicious! π² The broth was rich and fragrant, the meat portions were generous, and it came with fresh herbs and a side of shrimp paste that added so much depth! ππ¦ It was so satisfying that it instantly washed away all the travel fatigue β and the portion was so big, my boyfriend and I shared one bowl! Afterward, we took a cab back to downtown and wandered around. I would fly back to Denver just for this pho! π¬β€οΈ If youβre traveling through Denver β donβt miss it! π O Lien Kitchen β A pho paradise worth the journey! #OLienKitchen #DenverPho #BestPho #FoodWorthTravelingFor #LayoverEats #VietnameseFood
