CôNu’s Corner Phở & Bánh Mì Sandwiches

Unexpected delicious Vietnamese food at an unlikely place, an old convenient store. We had the combination and grilled pork bánh mì and they both are great. The combo rice plate is also very good, easily one of the best grilled pork chop I’ve had.

This is a hidden gem! The combination sandwich is the best bahn mi in Denver hands down and their bbq pork is soooo flavorful. The owners are also incredibly friendly and welcoming! They brought four dog a treat and water while we ate and checked in to make sure we were annoying everything. The price is also a great value for the amount of food you get. We can’t wait to go back.

I recently rediscovered my love for Vietnamese cuisine after moving from Texas! I found a hidden treasure—a delicious banh mi BBQ pork sandwich and two spring rolls for dinner. My heart is so happy! No picture of the sandwich I ate it too fast it was so delicious!!! Meeting Nu, the friendly owner, added warmth to the experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. If you're in the area, don’t miss this place! I’ll be back soon!

My girlfriend is in moving around corner. We googled convenience store to grab sodas and candy bar for the movers as a thank you. When I pulled in, they were closed so I walked next door to bagel/coffee shop. Was given a boot and ticket for parking in a closed convenience store lot. $160 ticket. I’ll never eat here or give them any business. A convenience closed at 8:30 am. An edit for your ridiculous reply. You are correct…we googled corner store. A brief glimpse at your pictures give the appearance of candy bars and chips similar to a convenience store. As we walk around, I snapped a picture of a business on the opposite corner that doesn’t want parking while closed, but not trying to turn a profit from it - it appears you enjoy making money off people then framing it as them being irresponsible. Picture added from the brewery. FYI, the movers enjoyed t the oversized cookies and rice krispy treats from Leroy’s over candy bars. We look forward to never supporting your business.

The food is amazing. The pork bahn mi was absolutely delicious and the owner is super sweet! I walked with my dogs to pick up my sandwiches and she offered them a treat. She helped me with my order and even brought the food outside to me when it was ready. I definitely recommend coming here! The bad reviews are purely because people don't read the parking signs and then have to pay. The food and service is amazing!

Wish I saw all these reviews before I also became a victim. There is 100% predatory parking crime happening here. So the parking lot is for customer parking only for conus and the neighboring liquor store. I was on my was from the Highlands to Lakewood to go watch some Sunday football with friends, figured I’d pick up some breakfast and beers along the way. Went into Leroy’s first and noticed a sign saying “DO NOT PARK IN THE LIQUOR STORE PARKING LOT, THEY WILL BOOT/TOW YOUR CAR IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES”. So obviously I went back to move my car to a street spot…. Well, they booted my car in 90 seconds, maybe less. I approached the man booting my car very politely and tried to explain to him that I intended on being a patron also at the liquor store, but I could immediately tell there was no room for negotiation. $164.80 later and a picture of my ID taken, i left the premises. Absolutely unbelievable. Don’t ever go here. Be a good person.

Great spot for a quick lunch/meal! The banh mi was delicious—soft but crunchy bread + well-seasoned filling. Only thing I wish I had more of was the pickled vegetables! Happy it’s so close to us and that there’s lots of parking in the lot. We will be back to try their other dishes!

I stopped in for a bánh mi. Really mediocre Vietnamese food at best. There are other better options in the area with fresh bread, fresher ingredients and better prices. Parking lot was mostly empty in what I thought is a quiet neighborhood, but weirdly there was a guard patrolling the lot and booting cars the whole time I was around, and the whole experience didn't feel safe as a result, TBH. Customer service was fine, I guess. But the ambiance is really poor. I couldn't get out of there fast enough once my order was ready. Not really worth it IMO.

What a great little find. Don't be turned off by the convenience store vibes - this place is a hidden gem. Amazing drinks and solid food. Every drinks I've had here has been absolute perfection. The standouts: * Viet egg coffee: Creamy goodness that is hard to find anywhere else. * Two flavored thai iced tea: A unique concoction made by the owner - a mix of the thai iced green tea and thai iced tea. Would highly recommend this! * Egg rolls: Crispy flavorful goodness * Combo pho: Solid pho base with a variety of meats. Overall good quality no frills pho. * Combo Sandwich Banh Mi: Overall solid banh mi. Personally I do prefer a little more pate though. Would I come back: Yes the perfect quick spot for no frills traditional solid food and amazing drinks. Plus the owner is extremely friendly.

Was leaning between a 3 and a 4 if I'm being honest, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt with it being a small, local place. What I love about CôNu's Corner is the hole-in-the-wall storefront. I mean, it's the definition of bare bones being inside a convenience store. Gotta love when you can find good eats in unexpected places! They were open on the 4th of July, so I picked up some sandwiches. I am always craving banh mi, legitimately ALWAYS craving it. They have different variations, as well as pho on their menu. These were good banh mis, though I wouldn't say great. I felt the portions were small, and as a few other reviewers have mentioned, a little skimpy on the meat. I shouldn't be hungry after eating a sandwich right? Flavors were good, but honestly it was overshadowed by the bread because the ratio of bread to meat was too much IMO. I always take businesses at their face value. This banh mi just left more to be desired. However, it's a hidden gem inside a convenience store and reminded me of being on the east coast. Though I'm not running back, I would definitely give them another shot!

The bahn mi with soup is a must have during the cold weather. The pho broth pairs so well with the bahn mi and there is just something about the flavor of the Star anise in it thats so comforting and warming.

First time trying bahn mi and it did not disappoint! Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was moderately crowded with some people sitting down and others waiting for takeout. I ordered the bahn mi with Vietnamese pork, and chicken egg rolls. It was one of the best sandwiches that I've had in a long time. The pork had a very unique flavor in an incredible way. I wish I had gotten extra meat - not because it was small, but because it was that good and I wanted more. The egg rolls were good too, but definitely not the spotlight. While it is not a full on restaurant, I actually enjoyed eating here. It was just a basic table and chair set up, but the owners were attentive in bringing my food, cleaning up, and filling water, even though not officially waiting on me. I enjoyed the quiet and silence without music playing; I was able to just sit and relax and enjoy my food. This is a great local spot that I would return to and recommend. Next time I would just get the bahn mi with extra meat and skip everything else. A good value and I left full.

I was out with a friend and wanted to participate in MHAFW and it was almost over! I looked at their map online of all the restaurants and CoNus Corner came up so we went over to check it out. I love a good bún dish! I ordered the grilled combo and we shared it. It was so refreshing and healthy tasting. It's one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes! The veggies were fresh and crunchy and the grilled meat was savory and flavorful! I saw this Vietnamese egg coffee on the menu and was intrigued and had to try it! I wondered if it would be like a dalgona coffee but with egg instead just sugar whip! The coffee was delicious and there was cocoa powder on top too! Food and service were excellent. The ambiance was eh - basic family restaurant vibe - cool but not customer focused.

This is by far THE BEST banh mi in Denver! I would drive through an hour of rush hour traffic to eat this sandwich again. Located in a convenience store that sells quick grabs as well, the cafe is where it's at! The pork banh mi is literally chef's kiss. There is a reason CoNu's was featured in Westword's magazine in January of 2025. Absolutely delicious, warm, crunchy, fresh, and spicy all in one sandwich. In fact it was a o good, that we ordered another sandwich-this time chicken- to split. The crab cheese wontons were also delicious. Going here again asap!

We catered with Conu's corner last week and it went so smoothly! We have been ordering with them the last two years for our annual event. The banh mi sandwiches are amazing. Thuc and their team are great to work with. I've also visited the store before and I love the location and local feel of the shop. Thank you again!

I've been wanting to try CoNu's after eating the banh mi sandwiches at an event. We finally were in the area and I told my husband we should try it! I knew the restaurant was connected to a convenience store but it was fun to actually see/experience it! The eclectic items of the store (especially the vapes) was interesting, and our kids enjoyed running all around as we waited for our food. After ordering at the register, our kids picked out Gatorade from the vending fridges. It was quite a bit of wait (as there was 10 of us) but the food was worth it!! Banh mi, rice plate and pho -- you really can't go wrong! Every dish exceeded our expectations. And the kids scarfed for the pho noodles and broth. The combination rice plate was a huge portion and came with bbq pork, chicken, shrimp, a pork chop, and fried egg on rice. I shared it with my one year old, who couldn't get enough (we left a huge mess of rice all over the floor because he wanted to feed himself). The owner was very nice and understanding -- running utensils, bowls, scissors (to cut the pho noodles for our kids) out to us. Great way to end our night!

The hubs and I came for lunch last weekend and it was just perfect. You order at the counter if the convenience store and then grab a table. Everything is made to order so sit back and relax. We both opted for bahn mi - me with the tofu and the hubs with the chicken. The tofu was so creamy and the baguette was crusty. It reminded us of exactly what you get in Vietnam. We talked to the owner about Vietnamese food and she could not be more welcoming. We will definitely come back. Oh and they were also selling the viral Dubai bars and they were delicious.

Lil hole in the wall Vietnamese spot, in a convenience store so you can gas station-type things but I think most people are there for the food. Really good, we had the combo and bbq pork banh mi sandwiches, liked it overall and felt it was authentic. Only con is a bit pricey for portion size, we thought about getting the pork rice plate but seemed expensive for size. Would probably go elsewhere for pho/vermicelli/rice plates, but the banh was solid and reasonable.

Don't let the convenience store fool you, this place has some of the best Banh Mi I have had in the Metro Area. The bread is baked fresh daily and the ingredients are fresh and balanced. The Vietnamese BBQ pork Banh mi is one I will crave. The bread has a nice, hard crust on the outside to hold the plentiful fresh vegetables and savory BBQ pork. Well worth the drive if you are not in the Sloan's Lake area. At $10.95, it is lower in price than most. Order at the register to the right of the entrance. Food is delivered to your table and served with a smile.

This place is almost like a hole in the wall- but more like a mom/pop place that bought a local food mart, and kept the food mart part and also added a fantastic authentic Vietnamese restaurant as well. Do not be scared off by the plethora of chips, cigarettes, and drinks, the Vietnamese food is KILLER! Got the Vietnamese grilled pork Banh Mi, and the pork egg rolls (for sure hand made!) and the cream cheese wontons. All fantastic- all cooked to order and only took about 10 to 15 minutes to get to us. great! would for sure go again!

YES!!! This hit the spot! I felt like I was eating pho as my aunties house. Service was quick and the lady in the front was very friendly and polite. The broth has the perfect amount of flavor and saltiness. Brisket was hot and tender and noodles were nice and tender cooked to a perfection. Very good 10/10... my favorite pho spot for now!

I finally got to try Conus after hearing about it for a while. It's close by Sloans so if you need a meal after being around the lake, this is a great spot. Unlike other areas around here, they do have a private parking lot which is great if you can't parallel park like me. There's plenty of seating indoors. It's actually like half restaurant bites and half connivence store. The owners are so sweet and kind. They told us it would take a little longer for our food because they were baking a fresh hot batch of bread. A nice family owned spot. There's actually a lot of food options on the menu from rice plates to pho. However, I kept hearing about the banh mi so that was my choice. The banh mi is so delicious. We came in when they first opened so the bread was baked fresh and hot. The pate in the banh mi combo was delicious. The bread was flaky and crunchy just so good to have homemade baguette. I will need to come back to try the others.

Where do I start here... Apparently the only item worth ordering is bahn mi here. I ordered the bun dac biet. The lady actually tried to talk me out of getting the noodle bowl and instead suggested I get the rice plate. I should have taken her word. We paid $60 for two orders of bun that was served in a to-go container. The place is dirty, looks like a filthy day care facility with chips and soda for sale. Frozen egg rolls pulled from one of the many ice cream freezers scattered about. "Curtains" and miscellaneous stuff everywhere. Dirty tables and flooring and when we are arrived no one was there. This was the craziest dining experience I've ever had. I embarrassed for suggesting g we give it a try. Do not make the same mistake we did!

If you are needing to satisfy that authentic Vietnamese food cravings look no further. This restaurant is a mix of Asian grocery and delicious food with an open and welcoming vibe ! The Bahn Mi is delicious with fresh crunchy crust bread with a soft pillowy texture on the inside. The fresh grilled meat and crisp fresh veggies make for an explosion of flavor in your mouth. If it's a cold winter day in Denver revive your soul with the Beef Pho with generous amounts of meat and noodles. The staff is very friendly and happy to help make a selection if you can't quote decide. A great place to grab lunch or pick up dinner on the way home!

My bf and I came here. There is a small parking lot attached. We were super confused when we walked in. It looked like a convenience store/inside of a gas station but also had 2 crane games, some small dining tables, a bakery, and other random items. We didn't know what we walked into. Some of the items they were selling were comical; eg. a bag of chips from Sprouts store lol. You order at the counter and then sit down. There were two Vietnamese ladies there. It looked like a mom and a daughter. The daughter spoke a little English and the mom did not speak English. Both were very sweet kind ladies. The tables were tiny but they worked for two people. The Bahn Mi (BBQ Pork) Vietnamese Sandwich was delish! I would recommend ordering a side with it, as it is not very filling. The combo pho was delicious. Broth was very flavorful and it was a good portion. My bf split the two dishes and were comfortably full but once you pee out the soup, then you're hungry again :) We would definitely come again to eat more authentic vietnamese food!

I called ahead to order a bbq pork banh mi. Within 1-2 minutes of pulling into the parking lot, somebody was knocking on my car window to see if was a paying customer for CôNu's, or if they needed to call the tow company. The person was nice, but it was off putting having this as my initial impression of the store. The sandwich was pretty good and the pork had great flavor! It wasn't the best banh mi I've had in Denver, but I enjoyed it. There are a few tables inside as well as some tables next to the dedicated parking lot.

Came here because of a recommendation from a friend but left underwhelmed. The CharSiu pork banh mi tasted more like the pickled veggies and bread than any meat which is not how I prefer my banh mi but maybe that's me. Not only did we have to wait 45 minutes for two sandwiches and wontons but we weren't given anything besides a "sorry for the wait" only when our food was handed to us. No update on the order, no extra food for the inconvenience, nothing. If you had large orders ahead of us, you should really advise the customers the wait would be long rather than no communication and no compensation for the long wait. Also 3 small wontons for $7, that's quite the rip off. I will be getting banh mi elsewhere. Communication to customers is essential to have happy, returning customers. I love supporting local so unfortunate that this was my experience.

Super friendly, super fresh, super tasty banh mi. One of my favorite spots to grab and go with vegetarian options that are affordable and easy-peasey. Bonus points for being located on the 29th avenue bike lane. There are tables inside where you can sit and eat or wait for your order if you choose. What's not to love?

The food here was incredible. It's a little shop and maybe unexpected to the eye that it's going to be so phenomenal but it was so good. And the person working here was so great. She was very attentive and helpful and explained what everything was. I went here with my friend Samantha and she said the pho was so amazing and the sandwiches were a delight. I loved the pork bbq one so much. I will definitely be coming back again soon! We were treated very well during our visit and I was so pleased with our experience!

Came here for lunch because social media and Reddit said they have some of the best Bahn Mi sandwiches in Denver. We had the BBQ pork bahn mi. They were delicious and freshly made, 10/10 (and ~$10 each). This place definitely gives a hole in the wall/ gas station convenience store vibe, so it's more a quick pitstop than a date place (unless your date likes exploring hole in the wall places). The service was fine and the owner was attentive. The convenience store component of the store seems to be an afterthought with an odd variety of sundries. There is a ton of parking lot drama at this place. You haven't had the full experience till you see the booting and towing party. And we can presume a lot of the bizarre reviews are from people who got the boot.

Some of the best banh mi I've ever had! Lovely owner told me that they make everything in house, even the mayonnaise!! It was delicious and I would NEED to stop here if I was ever back in Denver. 10/10!!!! It is also a little market inside so you can grab snacks, etc.

This mom and pop shop was so delicious! They make their Pho broth fresh in house! My friend just moved into the surrounding area and wanted to show me this place. We both got pho. I got brisket and she got veggie. The store owner told us to sit anywhere and that she would bring it out to us. She also said that she makes the broth so it might be a while. They offer plenty of seating inside but we chose to sit outside and enjoyed the day along with each others company. It did take a while but we know it would be worth the wait. The broth was hot and steamy! Filled with so much flavor and seasoning! Defiently worth the wait. The owner checked on us a few times and was very kind and sweet. Talked to my friend and said how she recognized her from coming the other day. My friend told her that she just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to show all her friends this little spot! The owner was so happy and glad she returned. Can't wait to go back and show all of my friends now!

This place is a gem in the neighborhood. When passing by one might think it is a convenience store and while it does have some grocery items, it is very much a legit family run Vietnamese restaurant. My son and I loved the Bahn mi sandwiches we got (chai su and grilled bbq pork). I'm looking forward to going back often and trying a combo plate or pho. What a great find!

One of my favorite places! As a Vietnamese person in Colorado, it's been hard to find flavorful pho. I loved everything I tried here!!! The pho broth reminded me of northern style pho and the meat was so tender! AND meatballs were included in the pho dac biet (not common in Denver). The Vietnamese egg coffee was good and STRONG. If you can't handle how strong Viet coffee is, there's no shame in asking for more milk. What really impressed me was the Thai green tea... have not seen it at any other place in Colorado and am so happy it's near by. But what I really wanted to review is the banh mi... the homemade bread. is everything. It's so light and crispy and it soaks up all the homemade butter and pate. I could eat just that combo alone to be honest. But we got the cold cuts and roasted pork and both had amazing flavor and we can't wait to go back to this gem!

My dragon boat team and I love coming here. This family owned restaurant is cute and service is always amazing. We come here for banh mi often after practice and never regret it. The bread is make fresh daily. Soo good

There are much better banh mi places in the city. The sandwich fillings were fine, but the bread was dry and hard, which made it less enjoyable. Also, the sandwich seemed small for the price we paid.

A solid banh mi contender without needing to drive all the way to Federal, I'm in! The storefront is a very unassuming liquor store, which adds to the authenticity of the no frills Vietnamese eatery. The family that owns this operation is very sweet and always checking in with customers and getting to know them. We ordered a banh mi, bbq pork rice plate, and a pho. I thought the banh mi was great and very reasonably priced. The rice plate was not bad, but would skip the pho. I will definitely be coming back for a quick banh mi lunch in the future!

Convenience store but with restaurant quality food! Not only can you get your lotto tickets, you can also get your fill of Vietnamese dishes. I ordered an egg coffee, combo sandwich and bbq pork sandwich. There's not many places in CO where you can get an egg coffee but CoNu's is legit. Think of a creamy Vietnamese coffee. The bread was soft and chewy and the meat to bread ratio is A1!

Excellent!!! The bread was served warm and perfectly toasted. The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors complimented each other perfectly. Staff were super kind and helpful! Will definitely be a new neighborhood staple.

The customer service here was top notch! I stopped by to get a few banh mi while waiting for an appointment near by. Well worth it!!

Wow! So glad I tried this place on a whim today. We ordered two veggie pho: one with beef broth and one with veggie. Both broths were so light and flavorful, homemade without a doubt. The veggies were crunchy and fresh, the tofu was perfectly crisp- seriously, couldn't have been a more perfect bowl. The obvious care and incredible flavor development in this broth has won me over! Thanks for a delicious meal, wishing your business much luck! My kids loved their pho too :)

I'm really happy I found this place on Google! The reviews were spot on. I ordered the BBQ pork Bahn mi, hot and sour soup, and a hot Vietnamese coffee. Everything was DELICIOUS! I wish I had ordered two sandwiches! The customer service from the lady working there was great! She was so kind and sweet!

Since you say I did not do business with you, I'll call my credit card and tell them and question the charge, get my money back. Also, all the great reviews I read about you must be fake. My white side of my family ordered from there and got great food. They ordered a second time. When they gave me your name, I could not believe that. I would have not let them order but I was not there.

I ordered a bbq pork banh mi and it was pretty good. The bread wasn't my favorite, a little too crispy on the outside but it was a good portion for the price. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee which was not too sweet. Service was fantastic and I would definitely go back for that alone. I ordered online and my food was ready by the time I arrived about 15 minutes later.

More than meets the eye for sure! In my opinion, some of the best bahn mi sandwiches in the city (very nice bread and pickles and served with a warm smile) and I am obsessed with her "2 Flavors Tea", a blend of her green tea and Thai tea that is so yummy and refreshing. She always shows a lot of care and comes around to check in with some love and will do whatever she can to make sure we leave happy, which we always do.

Loved the bbq pork bahn mi! Family owned and laid back atmosphere. The spring rolls were sauce were also delicious

After visiting Vietnam we have been on the search for a good banh mi sandwich. We did find a place in Denver that is really close to being authentic but , We saw this place on the news and looked forward to supporting the family owned business. We ordered 3 sandwiches of different meats. All were very flavorful but very skimpy. Seemed like it was about 3-4 tablespoons of meat a bit of the standard vegetables that were marinated just right. The negative is the lack of filling and felt like I was mostly eating a dryish bread roll.

Family owned restaurant and shop. Excellent service, always checked in and cared. Banh Mi sandwiches are very good and soup broth was also good.

For legit Vietnamese banh mi in an urban neighborhood (normally you'd have to travel to largely Asian areas of the city), have to give this place 5 stars. Awesome authentic food in the highlands, easy parking, food travels well, convenience store items, no complaints! If you have complaints about ambience from an authentic quick Asian place (or any authentic ethnic food really), you clearly don't know how to find good food. And complaints about private parking are very confusing. If spots are clearly marked as private parking...it's private parking. Just like any other small business with private parking. Same would apply if you went to Panda Express for their ambiance and complained about their private parking. Cheers to delicious neighborhood eats! Btw: what are my credentials for reviewing this food? Great question! 1st gen half Chinese grew up surrounded by different Asian family friends, eating 99% Asian home cooked food, traveled around Vietnam, and not an asshole (generally speaking).

Amazing spot for food made from the heart!!! So glad we found this place and will be making it part of our usual rotation. Thank you for the amazing food and kindness!

We bought 2 banh mi sandwiches. The service was friendly. The bread was excellent. The fillings were a tad skimpy. The vegetables could use more dressing. So, why not 4 stars? The $4 credit card fee which was "discounted" down to 94¢.

Spent $21 for a bahn mi and a viet coffee. Coffee was 3/4 filled up and tasted like wood. Bahn mi was small with 2 tiny slices of meat. Will not be coming back.

Our family stopped by here for lunch and had an incredible experience. We all loved the banh mi sandwiches. The bread was fresh and crispy and the sandwiches were packed with tons of flavors! We highly recommend the grilled chicken and vegetarian options (my parents are vegetarians and they had no issues ordering) We also ordered a side of egg rolls that came out hot and fresh, as well as some delicious coconut cassava cake that the owners brought out for us. Everyone working there was very attentive and kind. I would highly recommend stopping by for a bite to eat! We'll be coming back to try some other menu options :)

The best bahn mi I've had in Denver! Can't wait to come back for a noodle bowl. Highly recommended.

It's been a while since the last time I have come back to Denver. My friend told me about this place and I was skeptical to see it's inside a convenience store. Their Banh Mi was so good and filled with meat, pate and mayonnaise. The Banh Mi thit nuong (pork bbq sandwich) was so good that I forgot to take picture like I used to. They marinate the meat just right and it was so tender and flavorful. I don't know how they recreate the smoky charcoal smell that reminds me so much of Vietnam. Their mayonnaise was so creamy and smooth, together with the pate that absolutely leveled up their sandwich. The cucumber and pickle carrots and daikon has the right enhancement between sweet and sour that balanced out the meaty protein. I also had the chance to try their soy bean pudding (not on the menu yet, they are doing a test run) and O M G, it was so smooth, silky and refreshing. She served it with the creamy milk sauce and coconut flakes. It was amazing!! It is not a dining place but the service was very nice and pleasant. Definitely want to come back for more!!! P/S: I tried talking my friends into coming back the 2nd day and we did try more dishes here. O M G, let's the pictures tell you about it. The portion was huge and the grilled pork chop was deliciously flavorful. I can't believe they put 2 pork chops in 1 order of rice plate :o My friend tried "Bun dac biet" and it comes with bbq pork, bbq chicken, grilled shrimp and an egg roll. We were so happy

So happy Cônu's opened in the neighborhood! The owners are so sweet, the service is quick, and the bahn mi's are DELICIOUS!! I can't wait to try more from their menu! The Vietnamese coffee is so yummy too!

Amazing bahn mi! Our daughter took us, and recommended the Vietnamese pork bahn mi- bread is so fresh and light/crispy, veggies are fresh, perfect amount of meat. Strongly recommend! Someone in our group also had the Vietnamese iced coffee- wow, delicious! Strong and sweet. The person who took our order was very friendly , overall strongly recommend
