Phở 555 — Restaurant in Denver

Best pho, quick and nice service, but beware!!! They will overcharge you. You’ll notice this if you either calculate your total on your own and add the 8.81% tax, or ask for the receipt and see for yourself by adding it up. Diana Rodriguez also made a post with a picture showing proof of being overcharged $3, and there are a few others who have noticed, see below. While the pho is our favorite to eat in the area, I’ve noticed the amount always seemed off every time we came here, and yet we still tipped them well. But this time I had to test it out and sure enough I showed them how they charged us $3 extra since the total amount was not the same when added up on a calculator vs what they had on the receipt. While they were nice enough to offer us back $3, we just let them have it, because we enjoy coming here and we would have tipped high anyways. While the amount might seem small, if they are doing this often they must be making a lot of extra money. Why don’t they just make the food more expensive if they need more money? This method is quite shady, and most likely illegal. So they need to either raise prices or stop doing this...

I came, I feasted, I satisfied my pho cravings. As a Vietnamese man with a VERY hard-to-beat reference point of grandma's pho, I have high standards. Let's see how 555 stood up to those standards.

Pho review Broth: 4.5/5 - deliciously salty and rich oxtail broth that paired perfectly with lime, hoisin, and chili. Anise spice kick was not there for the balance though. Otherwise, a perfectly stewed broth in my book. Noodles: 5/5 - using the correct banh pho squared rice noodles. Meat: 5/5 - perfectly sliced rare beef steak + flank, very tender Vegetable plate 5/5 - perfectly fresh bean sprouts, thai basil, juicy limes. Jalapeños were not sliced super small, but big chunks and I didn't brave it

The large really is large. My gf ordered the small and couldn't finish. I ordered the large and had maybe a half cup of broth leftover, but proud to have done work on the rest.

Will be back, this place has excellent pho, and...

God this place has gone downhill. I can’t remember a time it was uphill anyways. The pho tastes like it is the most unauthentic, leftover broth from two days ago, made by non Vietnamese people. The noodles are always over cooked and too thick for pho. I thought I’d give this place a try after 5 years but nope I’m glad I avoid it. I usually drink the bowl until the bowl is clean, or I’ll take the broth home to eat again. But I gladly left this old tasting broth of despair sitting on the table after I paid 17 dollars. The average anywhere is 22 dollars and I’d rather keep paying that for quality than whatever they’re doing here. Extremely disappointed. I was seated immediately but only given two napkins. The waiter was nice. The atmosphere is ok. A little too dark but it’s ok. This pho is suitable for people with an Americanized palate of ignorance and lack of knowledge on how real...
