Pho Social — Restaurant in Denver

Delicious food. Good sized portions. Friendly staff.

There is nothing especially wild conceptually - it is a Pho and Vietnamese restaurant and that is what you will get - but everything they do is high quality, high value, and very well executed. If you are on broadway for a movie, a night out, or a day walking around thrifting you should stop by.

We had wings, shrimp spring rolls (we ate them before we thought to take pictures), rangoons, tea, vermicelli bowls and a lychee martini. The chicken was crispy and moist, and exactly what we were looking for. You get six decent sized wings with great sauce. The spring rolls were packed with 5 shrimp each and some of the crispiest, freshest veggies I’ve had at a restaurant in Denver in a minute. The tea was decent, it was standard bagged green tea steeped properly. I got the beef vermicelli bowls and my companion got the pork bowl - they came out with cool veggies, room temp noodles, and hot meat which was perfect! It is a large bowl, we both ended up taking some home and having them for lunch the next day. It was so clear the whole night we were getting freshly prepared food that had not spent time in a warming station and over all we were just given high quality food and service. They brought us rangoons because they were busy (opening weekend), I can’t have dairy but my companion said they were good. The lychee martini was beautifully presented. It tastes fresh-fruit-sweet, floral, and clean with a very distinct and delightful initial taste, mid palate, and after taste. They have a great bartender.

All of the veggies were tasty, crisp, and cool - I love when a restaurant puts effort into good veg bc it really lifts the whole dish. I find it to be a sign of care and attention to detail generally, and that held true here.

The inside is very pleasantly decorated. There are a lot of cool tones and dark colors which I found relaxing. There is a lot of booth space if you want a more private meal, and it looked like they had private rooms that potentially could be booked for dinners/events in the future (I didn’t get to ask, this is just visual clues and hope haha).

All the staff were on their game even with a packed restaurant. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. We did not have to wait long to order or get food. Each server has a card reader machine so you can pay right when you get the check and it’s easy to split if needed,...

If you’re looking for a hidden gem in the heart of the city, Pho Social on Broadway and 3rd is it. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and the comforting aroma of rich, simmering broth that promises you’re in for something special.

The pho here is nothing short of outstanding—deeply flavorful, perfectly balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The beef pho is a standout, with tender slices of brisket and rare steak melting into the hot, aromatic broth. The noodles have the perfect texture, and the fresh herbs, sprouts, lime, and jalapeño served on the side let you customize each bite to your liking.

But Pho Social isn’t just about pho. Their egg rolls are crispy, flavorful, and never greasy. The vermicelli bowls are fresh and filling, and the banh mi sandwiches are a must-try—crusty bread with generous fillings and just the right punch of pickled vegetables and spicy mayo.

Service is consistently friendly and fast, even during the lunch rush. The vibe inside is clean and modern, with a relaxed, casual atmosphere that makes it perfect for a quick lunch, solo meal, or casual date night.

Whether you’re a pho purist or just looking for a delicious, satisfying meal, Pho Social delivers every time. A true...

We came in for dinner with our two kids and their grandma, and I truly can't say enough great things about Pho Social. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.

The menu is incredibly well-rounded, offering something for everyone—whether you're a pho enthusiast or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time. Everything is made from scratch, including their incredible house-made sauces, which add so much depth and flavor to every dish. We ordered a variety of items, and every single one was absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold, authentic, and clearly crafted with care.

The portions? Generous doesn’t even begin to cover it. Despite indulging until we were full, we still left with a mountain of leftovers to enjoy at home. And the prices are beyond reasonable, especially given the quality and quantity of the food.

Service was another highlight. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely eager to help. They offered fantastic recommendations on both food and drinks, making the whole experience even better.

Pho Social has easily earned a spot in our family’s regular dinner rotation. Huge thanks to the team for such a wonderful evening—we’ll definitely...
