    I can’t say any else besides being the best when it come to Vietnamese restaurant in Aurora. I believe to be family owned and run restaurant providing the best customer server you can ask for. They always give you freebies and tea for people waiting for takeout. They offer some of the best home-styled food, a little different stands out with other places!

    Come for the food stay for the hospitality! This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Colorado. I recommend getting the ginger ale (it has particles on it but that’s because it’s homemade). Hospitality truly at its best!

    This was going to be a five star review which I only give out to places if they were amazing. The food was good and the service was good until we got the bill. We were charged up to $3 extra per dish. I asked one of the staff about it and he said they were waiting on new menus. The waiter wouldn't even honor the advertised price. That is not OK, either you wait to do the price increase or you adjust your current menu. Lots of other places use a sharpie to cross of the old price and write a new one in or they put stickers with the new price on. They could have even told us about the different prices as we were ordering if they wanted to give good customer service. Instead they are dishonest and false advertise. I'm actually tempted to turn them in for false pricing. Don't waste your time.

    Awesome food and service. We had to wait about 15 minutes but the staff was so kind as to give us a free appetizer and ginger drink. On top of this the food was fantastic and they even topped off my to-go pho leftovers. Best experience I've had for Vietnamese in Denver!

    The Best!! The wait at this 20 booth restaurant was about an hour with a line out the door. They've been here for years and you can tell from their ratings it's a local favorite that's well loved from people all over! The little restaurant is hidden in a small shopping strip next door to a Subway and across the street from a liquor store. The best hidden gems are found like this! But this one tries their best to take you away from the not so pretty out door view by creatively shielding their customers view of the outside parking lot with a wooden fence, to create a small outdoor patio with seats for the warmer weather, adorned with the yellow glow of Christmas lights. Step inside and you are taken back with the old 19th century, prohibition speak easy feel with the dimmed lights, leather pleated round booths, white table cloths and plants beautifully hung in each nook and cranny. Such a romantic setting or a great place to celebrate a get together with friends. You go inside and you don't feel out of place if you're dressed down in sweats or over dressed by wearing a Blazer. It's just that kind of feel. Once seated you are greeted with water and a smile while handing you their menu. It's not an overwhelming menu, but they have options for all! Traditional Chinese and Vietnamese food and let me tell you.. the delicious aroma that hugs your nose once you hit their front door has you already excited for what you're about to choose! We couldn't choose just 2 things to share.. we had to do this family style and just take the left overs home! We started with 2 Handmade ginger ales, the traditional Vietnamese spring rolls wrapped in a rice paper wrap stuffed with vermicelli noodles,leafy lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, shrimp and grilled pork. ($3.95), A cup of Blue Crab Soup ($3.95), A Cup of Hot n Sour Soup ($2.95), Chicken Wings ($9.95)... while we waited they brought us a complementary plate of fried curry sauced dumplings and their version of Crab Rangoon! Oh my it was soo delicious and we were pretty much stuffed now! But our food was coming... Matt got the Bun Bo Hue soup which is Beef brisket with rice noodles in a spicy beef broth. ($10.95) he said it was he most flavorful broth he's ever tried before! Considering how many pho places I've dragged him to, to review, that says a lot since he isn't usually a fan! He ate all his noodles miserably and had to take the broth home to go lol! I had to wait a bit for my dish to come out, personally I think they forgot my dish but they were so busy I understood. I received my Crispy Tofu with Spicy sesame sauce. ($11.95) it was sweeter than I expected and verrrry crispy on the outside and soft firm tofu on the inside. It was a delicious unexpected bite and I really enjoyed what I could eat of it! The side of white rice was a good contrast to kill the sweetness a bit. I only wish there were more vegetables. All in all.. we were two very happy customers who had no real complaints about anything. We found our new Asian spot and we want to come back and try everything else on the menu! When we were asking for our to go boxes our waitress was so kind enough to give Matt noodles to go for his soup, and both of us our drinks to go! The customer service here is amazing and the guy even remembered my name when we were in line to check out. I only told him once when I put my name on the wait list. Of all the people he checked out before us, I was impressed! They take such good care of you and really care about their customers experience!! If you're ever in the Aurora Area.. it's a MUST TRY!! But keep in mind.. they are only open Wednesday to Sunday 12pm to 8pm and they are busy every time! It's first come first serve, no reservation or online check in. So get there early!!

    Wow... That's all that comes to mind with this place. By far the most amazing customer service I have ever experienced in my life. We were only in town for 3 nights and decided to visit, and it was definitely the highlight of our vacation. Not only was the food amazing (especially the lamb curry), but the employees were so hospitable, friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to talk to. Brandon, and Twon (spelling?) and the other 2 servers, you guys rock.

    Such a hidden gem! Amazing ginger ale, chicken dumplings were perfect to start. Mama Lee’s beef curry was divine! Vegetable fried rice was a huge serving and so good. Everything tasted homemade including the ginger ale. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

    I am visiting my friends in CO and we wanted to try some Asian food, so we searched around and found this place. I asked how big the LARGE pho was, and the server showed me, but in reality the LARGE bowl is HUGE. I definitely overestimated myself Lol. The service is by far the BEST Asian restaurant I have ever been. They are also super fast with your food orders too. Of course, they gave us some freebies while waiting for our order! Yum! Food was qite good and the service definitely was the best.

    It's everything you'd want and crace in a Viet place. Only behind the best places in the actual land of Vietnam. The food was immaculate with tiny variations from what's usually found in Vietnamese food. Just enough to give you that feeling you go when you first tried Vietnamese food. Be nice to the servers too. Young friendly and polite guys. 9.5/10 for everything.

    My kids took us, saying it was somehow the best cuisine they had. They did not fail us. Large portions, great staff, and all the food was amazing.

    Easiest 5 star of my life. This was my first time visiting the restaurant and the service felt as if I was a regular. The homemade ginger ale is killer and goes amazing with a splash of Maker's. The complimentary dumplings, Thai tea, and drinks were wonderful. Ordered the bun bo hue, combination rice platter, and bun with pork which were all delicious. Only wish would be to make the grilled pork thit nuong rather than the Chinese style bbq pork, but that's just nitpicking.

    We stopped by before dinner hour on a weekday and was seated right away. Service was fantastic, made me feel like I had been there multiple times. The decor of the place is interesting. It seems old, but they did a great job with the plants. The food, however, was just okay. The flavors didn't wow me, but I'm comparing it to my time in Vietnam so it might be a bit unfair. I think I would eat there again if I was in the area, just not enough to go out of my way for it.

    Amazing gem of a restaurant, the staff are great and the food is delicious! I have celiac and they were so helpful and made sure I had a safe gluten free meal, and even threw in some freebie appetizers. Highly recommend!

    This is the best Vietnamese food I've had in a long time. I had their dumplings, crabmeat soup, Pho Tai, Lamb Curry, and hand pressed ginger ale. All of it was delicious. Mini Vann was the waitress, had great recommendations, was kind and personable, and did her job well. Due to the experience and the food, I'll definitely be back.

    I travel for work and always hit up a Vietnamese restaurant for my comfort food Phò. Golden Saigon is definitely 5 stars. Excellent food, above and beyond service. It’s like dinner at a friends house. My only complaint is that I don’t live in Denver and can’t come back every week to try all of their delivery authentic offerings ❤️ Keep up the good work guys you really gave us a great experience and fine food.

  • 5/5 Matt H. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great place!! The food is A1! The curry is one of the best I've ever had. Sweet and savory, everything I want in a curry. They really deserve a Michelin star. At least one! The fried rice is the best I've ever had. We get the combination, but all of them are amazing! The service is a little hit-and-miss as far as taking your order in a timely manner. But they are a small family owned and operated business ran with family. So they are limited on staffing. But that is part of the experience as well. I would wait as long as I needed to for this food. It's truly impeccable. Don't trust me though. Go see for yourself. And order yourself a maker's mark and ginger ale. They make the ginger ale in house. It's really good! Let me know if you've tried this place on my recommendation and tell me if ive lied to you? Lol

    This place is really a hidden gem. Don’t judge it by the rundown strip mall that it is located in. The service was really warm and friendly. They brought us some complementary potstickers in a yellow Chris sauce that were amazing. Sorry I didn’t take a photo of that. The chicken wings were amazing. I really enjoyed the curry and Melody said that the pho was ok. If you are a pho enthusiast, there are better options. But it’s not bad. The curry, on the other hand, it was really fantastic. The prices are reasonable and serving size they’re huge

    We ordered the spring roll family platter, cheese wantons, steamed dumplings, Southern Hot pot with seafood, and their special dish which was Beef Stew with Banh mi. Everything was so delicious! The bread to dip was perfect- if you’re a banh mi fan, go check out their shop next door. I recommend trying their house made ginger ale too! Isaac and the waitstaff did a great job getting our food and attending to our needs. We will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Melody W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little restaurant! The staff were so kind, nice and clean restaurant with fast service. They gave us a complementary starting dish! The mamas curry was so good! Same with the sweet and spicy wings! The pho was alright but I would reccomend you try the many other interesting things from their restaurant

    This may be the best restaurant in Denver that I've been to so far. The level of service and the quality of food is definitely five star out of five star to the owners of this place. Thank you for creating an amazing restaurant culture for your guests. It was an awesome dinner. I got the lamb coconut curry "white boy spice level" 😂😂

  • 5/5 Zhertva 1 year ago on Google
    So delicious! The service was so wonderful. We were given chicken dumplings and a drink on the house, which were absolutely delicious!! I ordered a medium pho and the serving was HUGE. I couldn’t eat it all! Atmosphere is nice, service was amazing, food was delicious, decent location. I would highly recommend and will be coming back.
