Pho Saigon




Nearby the office in the South-East Denver area, there is a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Saigon. I love this place. The food is great and the service is quick and friendly. I go for lunch, and make it a point to get there early because this place gets packed around noon, with a line out the door waiting to be seated. They have the usual Vietnamese menu, which has very good prices as well. Entrees are all under $10. I usually get the medium P6, which is Pho noodles in broth with steak and brisket. Sometimes I get an extra side of noodles for $1.50, which I could do without, because even a small Pho bowl is plenty of food. The meats themselves are a little bland in the Pho, but that's where the Hoisin sauce comes in. Theirs is really good, and I just pour a lot of it into the broth until it has the taste I like. They also have real fruit smoothies here, which are excellent as well. You have to specifically ask for them without tapioca if you don't want it in your smoothie, since the default is to add tapioca. The smoothie also might not be a good idea with Pho because the broth is so hot and the smoothie is so cold, my stomach always regrets the combination. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area!
