I have had the privilege to sample Pho dac bien all across America, parts of Europe and Australia. It is one of my all time favorite dishes. I especially enjoy the authenticity of well prepared broth and the varied ingredients that make it “dac bien”; tender tendon and tripe among my favorites.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Pho 65 in Arvada as one of my all time favorites. I give high marks for authenticity and attention to details. I also was pleased that the Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk was served as you would expect in country; the “proper way”.
For a truly fine dining experience ask for garlic chili sauce (they only offer Siraca at the table. And if you get the fresh spring rolls, ask for nuac cham. This fish sauce with pepper flakes will wake up the flavors of the rolled rice noodle medley much better than the peanut sauce.
I found the entire establishment to be very well managed. My only disappointment was that they didn’t store their paper products out of sight. If storage space is at such a premium, perhaps invest in some Japanese-style barriers with Vietnamese-inspired motifs. The background music was also dated.

It came out with onions… cool mistakes happen… turns out they took it back to the back and scraped them off the top and brought it back to me NOT OK now after finding onions in my food halfway through my meal, I am inevitably still going to be sick to my stomach! Because they didn’t take my allergy seriously and didn’t wanna waste the food that they made!?! I said something to them about it after finding the onions still in my bowl and they proceeded to charge me full price as I ate most of it before figuring out what they did?! So never going back here again!! Thanks for the stomach ache and lack of empathy for...
Read moreI only go here for pho because it’s less then a mile from my house. However I don’t get why they are so skimpy with rice noodles because rice noodles are very cheap at the Asian market! I’m giving a lower rating because when we came here couple days ago my son had been getting over being very sick and was craving their beef fried rice for $9.99. I don’t mind paying that if it’s good.. he only got a fair amount of rice wth small pieces of beef, six little pieces at most..Definitely not worth it. Chinese Fried rice is much better. We have been regular customers for several years and come here for convenience, however I was more disappointed then usual wth the food this time and will not be coming here for a while.. Rather drive further for...
