Food was good. Some of the better Pad Thai that I've had on Denver ( Make sure your order at medium spice because standard is mild.) STORY TIME!!!! We walk in at 7:22 on a Sunday and didn't know they closed at 8. Bartender guy with the tattoo sleeve shouts like he's announcing John Cena," We stop taking orders at 7:45, can't seat you." I get it, service industry guys trying to make it home on time so we turn to walk out when BOOM, party of 4 comes in after us and They. Get. Seated. The whole restaurant is now looking at us at this point trying to find out why they seated these other people and told us to leave ( this is the first time I've been to this place). It got super awkward at this point and one employee felt bad enough watching this 15 second Trainwreck that he decided to seat us but we feel super weird about it at this point. The guy who sat us was super nice and it's made food recommendations. The guy with the tattoos said 5 words total to us and showcased his skills at slamming dishes and cups on the tables in front of us. Truly Olympic level and would be willing to bet nobody is better in these areas of expertise. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for some good food while watching a grown man have a good ol fashioned tantrum. (I'm kinda into it.) I will be coming back for the food (it was good) the service ( from the guy who was nice enough to seat us and joke with us) and the entertainment (tattoo sleeve guys breakdown). If you or a family member want to have a similar experience, come one hour before closing. And I wrote my number on the receipt in hopes of being contacted by tattoo guy. I've been trying to work on my skills at being passive aggressive and want some pointers from you man! Hope to see/hear...
Read moreI'd agree with other reviewers and have had a similar experience -- this has been a go to place for years, generally for take out. We've ordered a number of the items on the menu. Never have been disappointed by their pho, which is the item that we most frequently order. The quality and freshness of ingredients is phenomenal.
The reason for the lower review was due to my daughter and my experience there this past weekend, in between the lunch and dinner time slots. Her dish was phenomenal, served quickly very tasty. My noodle bowl with pork was served with cuts of meat that were substandard. I work with numerous restaurant owners and purchase wholesale meat; therefore please take this as more of a fact than the opinion of one individual. About 60% of the meat served with the dish was heavily laced with fat, and several of the pieces were partially cut up, but with strands of fat connecting them. As only chopsticks were available, there wasn't really a way to cut around it. I ended up depositing the inedible portions on a napkin in the middle of the table. The waiter asked if everything was OK, I nodded (mouth full) and then started to mention the very poor meat quality, but he was on to another table.
I mentioned (and showed) the poor meat quality to the person at the front who presented the bill, and he indicated that he'd mention it to management. No price adjustment was made (this would have been the technically correct thing to do; I was not seeking a few dollar reduction in price, but rather an acknowledgement by the restaurant that a poor quality item had been served, and a customer called them on it). Everything except for the meat was excellent on my dish as well.

Read moreI always turn to Google reviews when I’m in a new area and I need a meal. Normally, I don’t worry about it much, but Saturday I was with my family watching our son’s team compete in a school event and we only had 45 minutes. Fast food was the safe choice, but my wife noticed Pho92 as we turned and my fellow Google reviewers definitely did not let us down! If you’re in Littleton or don’t mind a bit of a drive to get there, Pho92 is beyond worth the trip. Not only is the food amazing, but the workers and other customers are too.
We all ordered raw steak pho, which is unusual for us as we like to share, but steak just sounded really good. The start of this was the broth, which would’ve been a star alone. It is so good that it stood up even after adding the thinly sliced steak , noodles, onion, sprouts, basil, and raw jalapeños. Our jalapeños were extremely spicy, so I would recommend tasting a bit to decide how to use them. I added them with the other ingredients then took all but a few slices out before eating it as this gave a medium level of heat and flavor profile without the spice overpowering the dish, but definitely decide for yourself.
I also ordered Sugarcane Shrimp and Grilled Shrimp Spring Rolls. The dipping sauce elevated the depth of flavor and freshness, but I preferred just a touch so it didn’t dominate the rolls.
For drinks we ordered cold black and 4 Season then a hot Jasmine teas. They were all very good and as expected.
I’m not sure if they have curbside delivery, but I would expect they would as kind and helpful as...
