Stopped here while family visited from out of town - we had to wait to be seated for about 15 minutes but it was totally worth the wait. We each ordered our own entrees and also ordered some apps to share. The server brought out additional apps that were on the house, which was awesome! All of the food was delicious and we will definitely be visiting again.

Saw this place was recommended online so me and my family decided to try it out. Very glad that we chose to eat here because this was the best Vietnamese restaurant We've ever been to. We got Crispy Tofu, Pho with Fatty Brisket, Lamb and veggie curry, and Blackened Fish. All the dishes came out amazing and tasted fantastic.The Staff was nice enough to give us free Chicken Dumplings and Thai Tea on the House. All the staff working were nice and friendly. The Interior was beautiful and gave bamboo forest vibes. Overall Top Tier place with The BEST Viet Food and the most welcoming staff.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. My husband and I have now been twice and love it more each time! The staff is so attentive, and nice. I can’t remember the last time I’ve dined at a place with such friendly waiters. They always have great recommendations from their menu and the food is amazing. Each time we’ve been they’ve brought us extra appetizers and are just so kind and generous. Highly recommend this spot if you want delicious, authentic Vietnamese food.

We decided to eat here after reading a write up in an article about restaurants of Aurora. Everything was excellent, particularly the service. Everyone was friendly and food came out quickly. The restaurant itself was cozy and intimate feeling with beautiful twinkle lights, and lots of greenery!

Restaurant it self was quaint little restaurant nothing crazy because we all care about the food quality right?! I wish I took photos of our appetizers! We got fresh spring rolls, the fried pork egg rolls that you roll in lettuce and pickled carrots and radish, as well as crab rangoons and their steamed dumplings with curry sauce! It was allll so delicious! I would come back alone because of the appetizers were so flavorful. My friends and I ordered pho. 2 of us got pho dac biet (combo pho) and 1 got pho with chicken (pho ga). Personally if I had to rate it 7.5 /10 for restaurant quality pho (I grew up with a father that made homemade pho so I’m VERY picky with my pho) and the PHO broth was delicious! We all approved of the pho as Vietnamese Americans. My partner got their Vietnamese curry and it was really really good as well. My partner and I definitely come back for more!

I truly cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Not only do they crank out some truly incredible food, but the service is top tier and the environment is just so welcoming. The staff here so clearly take pride not only in the food but also in the friendly neighborhood vibe they create. We’ve only been twice and both times have been so enjoyable, with the staff making conversation, giving suggestions, and even hugging the occasional regular. My husband loves their Pho, and I am partial to the Chicken in Lemongrass Butter, but you truly cannot go wrong with this menu. Definitely get a glass of their homemade ginger ale, and they even have a killer matcha strawberry desert! Golden Saigon is more than worth a stop, you’ll leave with a full belly and a smile on your face. Also, the decor is very “small town Midwest supper club” which lends such a cozy atmosphere, it’s perfect for a dinner with friends or just a quick date night. Honestly, check this place out I promise you will not regret it.

Best pho I have had in Colorado! This place was so cute on the inside! The service was excellent! The pho was delicious. I definitely recommend the brisket pho. 10 out of 10! The server also gave us a free order of dumplings! They were very kind and consistently checked in to make sure we were satisfied. I will definitely be returning to try more items on the menu.

This place is what you think of when you think of a hole in the wall experience. Really great food at really great prices. The portions are more than enough and the service is top notch. I haven't even finished my meal as I write this post. Definitely recommended to anyone who loves authentic Vietnamese food.

Wow! Golden Saigon exceeded my expectations with food and service. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were seated promptly. Throughout our time, the service was some of the best we have had in a long time. Our waiter was kind enough to provide complimentary dumplings as well as a complimentary ginger drink. Both were delicious! I highly recommend the cheese wontons-fresh and stuffed with cheese! Per the waiter recommendations, we ordered the lamb curry and the drunken noodles with pork! Both were very fresh with deep flavor. Would come back in a heartbeat. While the outside is unassuming, the true magic comes from the people in the kitchen and those serving.

I have been on a pho kick and decided to try a new spot while we were in the area. Golden Saigon did not disappoint. I loved the interior, the plants are so cute! We were seated right away and were given a sling to put our baby's car seat in. We ordered the spring rolls with pork as well as the egg rolls. Both were tasty! They gave us potstickers with a curry sauce and crab and cream cheese wontons on the house. Those were so yummy! Definitely get the potstickers if you can! For our entrees we ordered their combination pho. The broth was a little on the bland side in my opinion but the meats they add make up for it! The brisket is cut thick and it's so flavor. I love that they add good chunks of tripe too. I'll definitely be back, I'd love to try more of their menu!

From start to finish, this restaurant lives up to its reputation. I was greeted and sat immediately in my own booth and my waiter was very kind and willing to answer any questions I had about the menu since it was my first time there after getting recommended it from my coworker. The dining area was spacious and even included some outdoor dining options if you wanted. I started off by ordering their spring roll with peanut sauce and it tasted amazing. They brought me out complimentary wontons which were great as well. I placed my order for spicy sesame chicken with rice and vegetables after and was shortly presented a homemade ginger ale on the house as well. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The portion was also really generous. I couldn't finish my chicken but I finished the rice and vegetables. I asked for a to-go box and without even asking they noticed I have finished my rice and gave me a to-go box with rice included already in it! Super amazing and 5 star experience. I can't wait to go back.

Great service and beautiful interior however I wish the food was a little better. I love drunken noodles but my dish with pork tasted more like beef. The noodles were stuck in one big blob and they were crunchy in spots like on the edges. Loved the egg flower soup. Tried the egg roll appetizer and they were good. They brought over complimentary fried dumplings and crab cheese wontons. My friend had the sesame chicken dish and thought it was ok. I will give it a second try.

My friend and I arrived here at 6:30 on a Friday. There was a little bit of a wait. Once we got seated the servers were super attentive and pitched in their recommendations when we needed help choosing an item. We got two items on the house which was such a pleasant surprise!! My party got the pho tai and vegan curry which were both delicious. For a cold fall evening, this food was so cozy and comforting. The pho is solid and the curry was a north style curry which I got to try for the first time. The interior was nice and spacious, and even with the busy dinner rush we felt taken care of. While we stuck to basic items, the menu itself is very extensive so I'll have to come back to try this place!!

This is my favorite place to get pho because they actually allow me to get a children's sized pho. I always end up wasting food because I rarely can finish a small bowl let alone those places out there that don't even offer a small. Their spring rolls are amazing. They gave us free dumplings this last time and I would totally order them again next time. Great flavor and the curry sauce it is served on is so yummy. I have never had a bad thing to eat here. The service is always amazing and the staff like to provide some little thing to your table for free and makes you feel like family. My only complaint is that I always want to go on a Monday and they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Otherwise, I absolutely love this place!

This place lives up to the hype if you want some of the best appetizers around. The pork egg rolls were amazing and the cheese wi tons were also great. Potstickers were yummy as well. Weird thing, they had a picture of the wings in the back page of the menu but they were not on there. When we asked if they had them they said yes, but later came and said they were out of them. Also, the sesame chicken and wonton soup were good. It's pretty busy there but the food is good so that makes sense.

I absolutely love this place! I discovered this place a few months ago, and my boyfriend and I cannot get enough. The food is absolutely delicious (and this is coming from someone who is half Vietnamese). The portions are also very generous. Each time we've gone, the wait staff have given us free drinks and appetizers. The homemade ginger ale is a must try. If I lived closer, I would go just for the ginger ale. Their curry is also delicious. The wait staff is incredible. They treat their customers like family. The wait is never too long, even on weekends/Friday evening. Would 10/10 recommend.

I came here on a sunday evening and it was seated right away. We ordered pho and com and both were pretty good flavor wise. My pho unfortunately came with broken up noodles- it seemed like someone cut it up for a toddler or something. However, I was in a rush and thought it would be fine to eat anyways. I did let them know, and they asked if they could make me a new bowl, which I declined because again, I was in a rush. They gave me 50% off which I thought was fair. I thought it was handled well, so no complaints for the server! Just wonder how the noodles were okayed to use. The flavor of the pho was pretty good. The com was also pretty good but the sauce needed a bit more lime- it was a little too sweet. Interior was nice as well! I would definitely try again.

Have been here twice now and have enjoyed both times. The pho is flavorful as well as the combination bowl. Also recommend the spicy beef soup, curry, and dumplings (with the curry sauce). They make a fresh ginger ale in house which has been very refreshing as well as a tasty Thai tea. Service has been great. The servers are so nice and they have given us items on the house each time. Bonus for the cute plant interior!

Long review ahead! Heard so many great things about this place, but ultimately it was a very disappointing experience for us. Don't get me wrong, the food was great, but the process to get to that point was terrible and we probably will not return or dine-in. We called ahead because we had a friend visiting and wanted to be cognizant of the limited time we had and were told the wait would only be 30 minutes, so we showed up and added ourselves to the (very outdated) handwritten waitlist in a notebook. 45 minutes passed and hardly anyone was taken off the waitlist. The only people leaving the restaurant were people who were on the waitlist and sick of waiting. As we moved further up the waitlist, I noticed a couple had left the establishment. When the host shouted out their name several times and they weren't there, they crossed them off and moved down the list. The annoying part is the couple returned 10 minutes later and saw they were crossed off the list and flagged the host. The host, who was about to seat another couple that was further down the list - like actually about to walk them to their table - decided to seat this couple instead. It seemed unfair to the people who had been attentively waiting for their name to be called. I think having some technology like Yelp waitlists where people can leave while waiting and not lose their spot would be nice, but if the restaurant is using a paper waitlist and customers are not sticking around to hear for their name to be called, then they should be added back to the end of the list. Onto the actual dining experience. We finally got seated nearly 1.5 hours after arriving. By then, it was well past their 8pm close time but they were willing to honor all customers still waiting - I feel bad for the staff working at this restaurant. The first water they brought out to me had gnats in it, which they promptly replaced when I brought it to their attention. We ordered spring rolls but they brought out spring rolls and egg rolls by accident, which I think was the waiter's misunderstanding since we were trying to decide between one or the other. They got my boyfriend's order wrong (he ordered lemon grass chicken but they brought out lemon grass shrimp) - not a big deal but just another hiccup though. They brought out complimentary appetizers and a dessert, but it was a bit hard to make up for the long wait to be seated and everything following that. We didn't get home until nearly 10pm, which we didn't want a late night and was why we called ahead. Had we known it would be such a long process, we would have gone to another one of the many good viet spots in the area. Golden Saigon needs to invest in some better technology that will probably actually HELP them churn more customers in and out efficiently and profit more. The hosts and servers were working very hard, but I felt really bad because it seemed like they were under a lot more stress than they needed to be - the owners should modernize their process more and get with the program that many other businesses are on.

Golden Saigon slaps so hard! Vietnamese food is one of my favs - give me a vermicelli bowl literally any day - and this restaurant is one of the best Vietnamese places I've ever been to. We stared with the crispy rolls w/ pork (always a 10/10), and had the lamb curry + chicken noodle bowl. SO MUCH CHICKEN like absolutely loaded that bowl up. Long story short, everything was delicious, vibes were great, service was excellent, and we will def become regulars.

You have to try their food! Run. don't walk. Just make sure you make a reservation first otherwise you're waiting at least 30-40 minutes in the cold (they don't have heaters or a fire pit). This is a small business with limited seating. It's a little run down but it's worth every penny. They accidentally sat someone before us and gave us feee dumplings, which were relaxing on a bed of their curry sauce, making me wish I ordered curry We also got the pork egg rolls, which said online were gluten free. So far i'm doing ok so far so I think that is accurate. Their menu doesn't show what is gluten free but online does. All of the food was incredible. You receive generous helpings. I definitely had to take some home for lunch tomorrow. Overall, I want to dive head first into whatever fish sauce they make. It's to die for! The service was great, staff is very friendly and helpful.

Golden Saigon took ahold of me and won my heart over! Not only was the food out of this world, but the service was immaculate. Golden Saigon is a spot you want to go to when you crave being treated like family. They lifted my spirits, were so tentative to my needs... honestly, if you're having a rough day... go here for a serotonin boost! I dined alone, so I ordered the kids portion of pho tai, iced coffee, and pork egg rolls. The staff insisted I try the house-made ginger ale and chicken dumplings on the house. I'm so beyond grateful for this moment and I will remember the way it made me feel always. HAPPY! Everything I had, I would recommend. The temperature of each item was so on point. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was. The coffee was excellent. Not too sweet and had a wonderful roasted flavor. The ginger ale tasted so fresh! I loved that spicy ginger beer flavor with the fresh oranges! The chicken dumplings were over a yellow curry sauce, served with a side on ponzu and I loved the tang of the ponzu and the creaminess of the curry! It all balanced and was incredibly fun to eat! The pho tai was steaming hot and beautiful! The rare beef had such a richness to it and the anise in the broth was *chef's kiss*! Your girl loves fragrant broth! The pork egg rolls went beyond my expectations. They came out hot and crispy with a bed of fresh herbs displayed gorgeously! The fish sauce flavor was additive... it all just made me feel like royalty. The herb flex was on point. If you've made it this far... I guess you've caught onto the fact that I now have a new favorite place to dine and I feel beyond thankful to have randomly wandered into this restaurant. I'll definitely be recommending this spot to all!

Liked the plants, wood walls and eclectic feel of the restaurant, everything that we had was delicious - house special curry and combo cold rice noodle bowl. It seemed like they brought an "on the house" appetizer to every table - which was a special treat and not something that happens often I feel like at restaurants anymore

Service was AMAZING. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional. We tried the crab cheese wontons, dumplings, and spring rolls and they were all the best we have had in Colorado. We got the Pho Tai and the Seafood soup and both had large amounts of meat. Also got the homemade ginger ale which was fresh and yummy. Would highly recommend.

One of the best experiences I've had in Denver, everything from the food to the service was top tier. The pho broth was amazing and the sesame seed chicken had an interesting take that didn't dissapoint. The restaurant itself has a very welcoming atmosphere and cant wait to come back here!

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.

Although the exterior is not the most appealing, the food and service will blow you away. Golden Saigon is such a cute restaurant. I love the more intimate feel, quiet vibe and private booths. Service was awesome and they even gave us a free little appetizer to start off with. And let me tell you it was the bomb. The food is top-notch. Chicken and broccoli with rice was interestingly good. The presentation was not what I expected, it was more like a soup, but was so tasty.

This place still remains my favorite Vietnamese Restaurant in Aurora! No matter how far away I move, I always come back here. The service is superb and beyond expectations every time whether they're super busy or slow. The flavor and authenticity of the food NEVER disappoints. Tuan and his sister do an amazing job. If you're visiting Denver, I highly recommend you start here if you're looking for Pho or great Vietnamese food! The ambience, thriving live plants everywhere, very welcoming local spot! Must try!!

The service was very friendly here and I appreciate that. The food was between 3-4 stars for me but I upped it because they were really nice and gave the free dumplings with my order. The chicken was pretty good but I wasn't a fan of their variation of spring or egg rolls. I guess I just like the east coast style Vietnamese food better. I like when they put basil or mint and no pork in the spring rolls

Their food always has tremendous flavors, texture, and portion size. Today we had Sesame Chicken and Kung POA Chicken, Cheese wontons, with tasty Ginger Tea. Their Staff is very attentive and efficient. We continue to come here every time we're up in the Denver area and take friends and family here when we are able. We've never had a bad meal or poor experience. One of our all time favorite places to dine.

The tour of Vietnamese food here is amazing! I have lived in Colorado my whole life, and this is the vietnamese restaurant I have been missing all these years! Pho broth here is so good! I can't say enough about the amazing service. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser for the whole family. So many yummy dishes to choose from! The seafood curry and potsticker were delicious!

Let me tell you, this place is hands down the BEST pho restaurant I've had. We came in during Sunday lunch and it wasn't as busy. We were seated fairly fast. Afterwards, the waiters tended to us fairly quickly. I really love the inside of this restaurant because it's super homey and authentic (you know the food is gonna be gooood!). The workers were super kind and sweet. They accommodated to us and even served us two kinds of soup on the house! You could tell they value their customers. I ordered a kids size pho combo, iced coffee, and viet spring rolls. Pho combo 5/5 -- their pho is sooo good and flavorful. I don't even like pho but this pho, I could not stop eating/sipping their broth!! Their meat was sooooo tender and juicy! Honestly, you didn't need to add any add-ins. It was THAT flavorful! Viet rolls 5/5 -- I was only expecting the typical shrimp spring rolls but honestly, their rolls had a little twist to it. They had pork and shrimp in it. The pork was flavorful and added so much to the rolls! I thoroughly enjoyed every bite I had. Def, a must try. The only thing I would probably change is the tightness of the roll. It was rolled tight but not as firm as I would like it. It was probably because it was filled so many goodness!! Bon Bo Hue -- my friend ordered this with pho noodles, and it definitely did not disappoint. I had a sip of the broth and the meat, and omg I was raving about it. This is spicy, flavorful, and soooo comforting to eat! I definitely cannot say enough about this dish!! Iced coffee 5/5 -- so good. Perfect amount of sweetness and coffee. Everything really was so good, we came back the next day to enjoy more!!

OK as far as Viet dishes go, they do use some creative embellishments. But it is done quite well. Dishes like combination rice, beef stew, and dumplings have some interesting additions but it does not detract from taste. All dishes I had were quite good - especially the wings and dumplings. Service was great as well.

Been here twice and they went above and beyond both times. Genuinely nice servers and the best Pho in Aurora. They're my new go to, and if you're allergic to Gluten, like I am, they take precautions to make sure you're safe. Thank you Golden Saigon. We loved your Ginger tea too :)

Rice noodle bowl was incredible! We also ordered sesame chicken and 2 bowls of pho. The food was incredible quality and the taste was unforgettably delicious. Service was some of the best we've had. Maybe it's our family's new favorite spot. Thank you team, see you before too long

Followup review a decade later: Some money has been invested to make the place better. New leather seat covers are especially nice. A new wooden fence blocks most of the view of the somewhat sleazy strip mall. Service is upgraded as well. Servers check with you frequently to see if all is well. Free takeout ginger ale drink included as is free appetizer won tons that are quite good. Menu looks new, no doubt to raise the prices. But the food is fresh with vegan options and all sorts of interesting choices. This is still a prime choice for Vietnamese food. We each had a pho variation for lunch, both quite good (one vegan lemon grass, one chicken Pho ga). Egg roll appetizer not needed given the free app they give you, but egg rolls still were great. One odd thing we noted was the hours are restricted to Wed-Sun noon to 8PM, closed Mon and Tues all day. Made us wonder if crime is an issue in this neighborhood, although no issues at lunch.

I came here with my husband David and the server with glasses was very slow and got our order wrong. He didn't recognize that he made the mistake and blamed me at the end for him not bringing my drink out for almost 45 minutes after I was really nice and respectful to him. The food here was amazing but the service was very slow for it not being busy. I typically don't give anyone a hard time for service if it was crazy busy but there was only two tables. I noticed another table waited so long they actually got up and left and the server just laughed. The energy was kind of stressful in here for being as quiet as it was.

This place is good, but over hyped. Food is plentiful. The homemade ginger ale is delicious. I'm deducting a star for service. I've been here a few times and always have a difficult time getting consistent service. It's always over an hour before I receive entrees for two people, and another 20 or so minutes before I can flag down my server for the check. They oddly always bring a free appetizer. It's like they know their service sucks and are trying to get ahead of it.

Been coming back for years, always great service! Food has always been on point! And the family ran experience is great!

Objectively, the best Vietnamese restaurant that I have ever been to in the United States. The Beef Pho: the pho broth has depth in flavor, doesn't get sour as you keep drinking it like most I've tried. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not too soft or hard. The beef came perfectly rare and cooked slowly in the hot broth, showing a slight bright red contrast to the deep, dark richness of the clean hot pho broth that was perfectly seasoned, quite picturesque with the contrast in color and flavor. The dish in its entirety was made with love. Noble in this day and age. As for the appetizers, The deep fried pork egg rolls were nothing like I've ever had. The outer wrap is made out of taro if I remember correctly and the appetizer dish came with a fresh side of lettuce, pickled carrots, radish, and bean sprouts. Wrapping the eggrolls with the lettuce and placing inside pickled radishes made the perfect balance of fried, savory, fresh, and tangy, combined with the assortment of sauces forced the myriad of flavors to fight each for attention in my taste buds. The sauces Provided was a side of their curry sauce, fish sauce, and another sauce I can't remember the name of. Tuan the owner, and the other waiter whom I did not get his name, and Isaac- which I believe was his name if my memory does serve me correctly, are generous, caring, and kind. To say the least, it is inspiring. The establishment is also beautifully furnished with walls that acknowledge the history and tradition of Aurora, and Denver, Colorado. I would definitely make this my go to place for Vietnamese food or just a pleasant lunch or evening place to go dine, where you know you will be taken care of and that the kitchen cares. Truly hard to find in this day and age where quality of services and goods go down and family owned businesses like this one are harder and harder to find.

I was craving some curry and claypot and stumbled upon this place via Yelp. And WOW. Just WOW! I live in the SF Bay Area, a known food mecca. (Yes, I'm going to tout that!) So when I tell you this place is top tier, please believe it! The Southern Vietnamese style cuisine is the best I've had outside of Vietnam. After eating here, I called a dozen friends all out of state, and told them all that we have to come to this place in Denver (actually, it's Aurora). #willtravelforamazingfood After sitting down with two friends, it didn't take long for someone to take our order. This is definitely a family run operation and if it's not family, then everyone here acts like it. While we waited for our food and drinks, we saw some of the staff come out and hug customers as they came in. This happened at least 3 times before our food even came out - it was then we realized that this spot must be a local favorite. You can tell that a lot of people who come here are regulars, and after eating here just once, it was easy to see why. The environment and friendliness of the staff is amazing, and the food is even better! Now let's get to the food... Brandon is legit. His recommendations hit all the marks and solidified this place on my top eats list! We tried a few things, two different curry dishes, the claypot, dumplings/ potstickers, spring rolls, mongolian beef, lemongrass fish, and bun bo hue. They also make a house ginger ale which I typically do not like sweet drinks, but again, this was also amazing and refreshing! Not to sweet and great flavor. Everything was absolutely delicious! Since coming here once, I've been back another 3 times. The service and quality of their dishes is consistent.

Few Vietnamese / pho places stand out to me -- seems like there are a lot of decent to good spots in Aurora, and some more off Federal. Some not so good. But mostly on par with each other. Golden Saigon stands head and shoulders above the rest. They were packed on a cold Wednesday night but managed to seat my parents and me immediately, plus brought some steamed dumplings on the house. I got Mama Le's chicken curry, would recommend, a hearty curry clearly made with fresh vegetables. My mom got the spicy beef noodle soup and that might have been even better. Think pho but more flavor, similar to Chinese niu rou mi xian

If you're reading this, then this is your sign to eat here. Not only does this place have delicious vegan/vegetarian food but the service is exceptional. Also in love with how they've set up the place--so many happy plants! GO NOW

I'm always on the prowl for a great bowl of pho. Some of the best I have ever had are from Chinatown NY and Embarcadero San Francisco. Golden Saigon came highly recommended, so I gave them a try. OMG. So much meat, fresh mint and parsley, perfectly cooked noodles, and the broth was the right amount of flavor without being a little sweet like some places. Good price and very friendly staff. I will be going back!

Super shady experience! Couldn't pay me to step foot in this restaurant again. Waited a long time for mediocre,cloudy pho and overly salty rice dish. They charged us $2 more PER dish that was ordered compared to the prices listed on the menu. There was no heads up on the price changes, and the only excuse I got was "they were working on it". Watch out for this super shady business

Absolutely the worst combination noodle bowl ever. The meat was dry, overcooked from yesterday even with a full cup of fish sauce. They gave us free crab cheese wontons and pot stickers which were also disgusting. The sweet and sour sauce tasted like it was made with all purpose cleaner. Food should have never been served to anyone.

I'd driven past Golden Saigon for years. Finally stopped in and I'm so glad I did. I've been a regular customer since. Even at 3pm, this place has a crowd. Understandably so. The food itself is very tasty & authentic. Not a huge menu but certainly sufficient and varied. Portion size is good as well. The best thing about Golden Saigon is their service. I've been to many restaurants, some provide very professional service. These folks truly make you feel like welcomed guests. If you're wanting very good Vietnamese food but don't feel like driving all the way down to Federal Blvd, Golden Saigon is an excellent choice.

Do you ever go to a new place and think "How have I been missing out on this?!" That was me last night. I have frequented their Bahn Min Space next door but never made it in for a full dinner and what a mistake by me. When we walked in nearly every table was full but we were still greeted with a smile and sat immediately. The staff work like a family where it seems like everyone is helping one another to make the best experience possible. We had the curry and a noodle dish and they were both great (but the curry is next level). They also brought us some dumplings on the house that I would order again in a heartbeat. This place will absolutely take a new place in our regular spots and I will regret all the years we have lived nearby and missed out.

My family had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We felt right at home dining here. Thank you Toan and all the staff for impeccable service. Mama Le... everything was so delicious. Btw... my husband loved the BeerLaos. My son graduated and we were gifted with appetizers on the house. We will definitely visit here, when we come back to CO.
