Great food, definitely coming back. Service: got asked if the food was good twice which a bit much. But overall good experience and good food.

I ordered take out twenty minutes before closing at 10:00 on a Friday night. When I got to the restaurant it was packed. I was worried my order would be lacking. Well I was wrong. I ordered the Spicy tofu with veggies. Not only was it cooked to perfection it was more food than I could've wished for!!! Thank you Vietnamese Cafe for your high quality food and customer service. It was a blessing and an unexpected gift to end my week in such a wonderful way.

My wife wanted Chinese and for some reason ordered from this place. The broccoli beef was the most inedible garbage I have ever tasted in my life. I’m not sure if they boiled the beef or what but the chef should be flogged for this disgrace of a meal. I can’t tell if they used chicken stock to boil it but something was off. It was definitely not cooked in a wok. The veggie roll was burnt and very greasy. The egg drop soup was meh. The boba was fine, but I can’t imagine there is a way to mess it up. If it is possible, this place will certainly figure it out. Whatever you do, go elsewhere.

We've been coming to the Vietnamese café for a long time, and it never disappoints! The staff is friendly and every dish we've triedhas been delicious. My favorites are the wontons and the meatball phở — both are packed with flavor. And of course, you can’t go wrong with a coconut boba to top it all off.

Not a original Pho restaurant The waither barely understand what I was asking from the menu. I have to point them of the picture to let me know what I was ordering. Poor service Can be better but not recommended for pho Is a water down recipe with some salt and beef powder broth

I love this place. Going here started my lifelong love of Vietnamese cuisine. The portions are just right, everything is fresh, and everyone who works there has always been super nice. Lots of families and groups of friends the last time I went. And the lunch specials are a good deal as well. This place is worth going out of your way for.

This place is the best. The egg rolls and pho are phenomenal. I’m sure pretty much everything they make is good as well. Been coming here weekly for a long time, and will continue to to do so!

i usually love coming here, their food is amazing no doubt. but immediately as i came this time, the service was pretty disappointing as the employee that was serving me was very rude with an attitude right off the bat, not sure what that was about but it’s really not the best way to treat a paying customer lol. maybe having a bad day but still, just treat your customers with better service as we’re here paying and supporting your business.

Very friendly and efficient staff. We went during lunch as a family of 4. They were pretty busy during lunch but we were in and out within 45 minutes. The food was flavorful and delicious. The lunch portions were pretty big. Def recommend coming here during lunch.

Loved it! Curry and Pho were awesome, lunch specials are only $11 and come with soup, eggroll, and fried rice. Vietnamese coffee was really tasty too! They honor lunch prices on the weekends which I feel like not a lot of places do anymore. Will be back to try more since the menu is so extensive!

We ordered Vietnamese enrolls, 2 combo pho's and I had sriracha chicken. They do not have chili oil to my companions great disappointment. However, everything was fresh and i loved the veggies that come with the egg rolls. The pho was alright. Meat average, broth average noodles a bit overcooked. The sriracha chicken had tons of large fresh vegetables and chunks of chicken with a thick spicy/sweet sauce. For me a little too sweet. Fried rice is good but not typical. No soy sauce. All in all it's an average place but fresh veggies are a huge plus.

Great neighborhood spot! The lemongrass chicken bowls are perfection, great portion sizes and amazing flavorful sauce. The lo mein was the only disappointing bite of the night, there was no flavor in the dish other than oil. Staff is so kind.

I have been coming here for years and this place still delivers great pho. They offer vegetarian pho broth and beef broth. The food is always served hot ready and quick. It is a a very family friendly spot with a great lunch special. The staff is always so welcoming and very attentive. Such a great local spot.

The food here was not it. When I order a broth I'm expecting to get hit with a beautiful aroma that it comes with and a spoon full of flavor. I didn't get that here, the soup was watered down and had a lot of oil with a hint of bone broth lacking so much flavor & the meat balls were thick and hard to chew despite being thinly sliced. We ordered spring rolls as well and I ended up spitting out several hard noodles that were stuck together and the rice paper was hard so quick. The only thing I can say something nice about is the boba smoothie the smoothie itself was good kind of like a sherbet strawberry flavor the boba wasn't half bad it was cooked appropriately but don't expect it to be sweet like the ones at kung fu tea. It's plain

Best Sweet and Sour Shrimp I have ever tasted! So delicious....We also had the combination Vietnamese noodle bowl. So good! This place is a hidden gem.

This place has been around for a while and for a good reason - it's tasty! Staff is friendly and kind, they make sure you've got enough water and that you're set with whatever you ordered. I got the beef plate and it was just that. Nice beef on a plate with some rice. Great flavor, great spot.

Hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to! They have all of the dishes I love. I always get the Vietnamese combination noodle bowl with beef, egg rolls, shrimp, and pork. All of the meat is perfectly thin, seasoned, and grilled. I also get their cappuccino boba to drink. The cappuccino that goes into it is made fresh per order and the boba has the perfect consistency. They'd spring rolls are also made to order and very fresh. I have always had the best service here...probably the best out of any restaurant in the area. The staff is accommodating to any changes or additions we have wanted to make to our dishes and they are very friendly. You know a restaurant is good when it is always busy. This place is busy no matter what day or time. It is clean and the vibe is welcoming. If you're up north, I'd highly recommend this place!

I haven't liked the Sesame Chicken the last few times I've gotten food for home from here. The chicken itself is just not good. It also doesn't have enough sauce on it so I usually ask for extra. The times I've gotten it in the restaurant, it was good. This last time we tried Red Wine Beef Cubes and those were quality. Not a lot of flavor but still good! The beef itself kind of melts in your mouth, which I love. Maybe I will get this from now on. I would avoid the chicken (at least if ordering to go).

Their dining area has a nice ambiance. The wait staff are all friendly, professional and attentive. Huge menu items with lots of Gluten Free options. All tje food we ordered were delicious. This is the first time we've been here and we had a great experience. We'll definitely come back.

This has always been incredible food and service. I've been going there more than 10 years. However, there is a new owner and it's back sliding. The food is still "good", but it's not excellent as it used to be. I hope they up their game so I don't have to search for another Vietnamese restaurant.

Food was bland and mediocre. Service was very slow. I waited over 40 mins for some vegetable pho! Waiter wasn't friendly or relative. The worst pho experience ever. Won't be back.

We will not ever return to or order from this place again. There are so many better Asian/ Vietnamese options nearby. The basil and cilantro that came with my pho was a mushy, wilted, and borderline rotten mess. The stuff looked like it had been sitting out for weeks. Pretty gross. I had to scoop the green slime (rotten basil) off of the noodles in the styrofoam container and throw them away. The green slime was supposed to have been basil and cilantro. This happened once before at this place, so we will not ever be ordering from here again. The pho broth was tasteless. Combination Lo-mein had hardly any meat in it and was too soupy. They tried to drown it to keep it from talking I guess. The shrimp pineapple curry rice was super salty. There are so many better Asian/ Vietnamese options nearby. We will not ever return to or order from this place again. Pros: Clean inside Cons: Old, stale, wilted, borderline rotten basil served to customers. Tasteless pho broth. Enough salt to kill an elephant in everything else. Forget about parking nearby. They only have one strip of parking spots directly in front of the place and it is always a disaster because it is such a busy parking lot. You'll have to park a ways away in the bigger part of the strip mall parking lot and hike in or take a shuttle bus. Lol

Walked in during a bit of a rush hour and it calmed down right away. Got seated fast and was greeted basically immediately by our server. Ended up getting the Large Chicken Pho and a coke, the broth, noodles, and meat were really good overall and the sides were great as well, bonus there was siracha at this place. Very nice portions that come with the soup. The ambiance was very good overall a little noisy but as expected with a lot of people inside. Would for sure come again if in the area.

Very good food as well. Taste fresh and the spring rolls were so good too. Great place for brunch or family lunch!

Always perfect. Been eating here since they opened maybe 25 years ago. I often have friends stay from out of state and every single one has loved the food and when they're back in town, Vietnamese Cafe is the #1 choice for eating out. To-go is good too, but we usually eat in. Even people who claim not to like Vietnamese food always leave happy

My aunt that lives in Colorado recommended this place for lunch. So we went on a weekday while visiting. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant smells like Pho, in a good delicious way. Immediately greeted and seated in a booth upon entering. There are lunch specials on the back of the menu, serving from 11 a to 4 pm. I decided on the beef broccoli. The special included a choice of a soup and an egg roll. I got the wonton soup. Everything came pretty quickly after ordering. It was delicious! The egg roll was amazing was the best! The wonton soup was pretty good. The beef broccoli was also good. My aunt and friend also enjoyed their meals. No leftovers to take home. Overall service and food were great, and a deal for lunch time.

We went and waited over 45minutes for our PHO. It was brought out incorrect for two of us. The dish my partner was drinking out of had a red lipstick stain.. so probably not the most sanitary washing occurring

This place opened just before I moved to Colorado in 2005. Order here practically every week. Seafood soup is a game changer. Fried softshell crab in garlic sauce works every-time for dine-in. Always trying new things and this place never lets me down. Curry seafood dinner with egg rice, if you cannot decide what to eat is a solid example of how good the food is here.

Under new ownership! Not the same! Little by little the quality is going down hill. Nothing tastes the same anymore. Hot and sour soup, thin and way less sour, watered down. Spring roll, loosely rolled, contents falling out. Noodle bowl, everything less grilled, nothing crunchy, not even the egg rolls. What a same, 19 years of excellent food ruined in just a few months. Didn't you learn anything from previous owners? They knew how to prepare good Vietnamese cuisine.

This place is fantastic. They have the best wonton soup I've ever had. The pho is delicious as is the combo noodle bowl. The vietnamese egg rolls are wonderful and the strawberry boaba hits all the right spots. What a hidden little gem of a restaurant!

Food is delicious! Dumplings and Wontons are the best! Service could be better. We had to get up and ask for items (napkins, utensils, straws) a couple times because our server was in the back on her phone and forgot to bring things we asked for. It was pretty busy the evening we went but the environment was quiet and pleasant.

We love this place we always get pho and appetizers when we go there we've never had a bad experience the manager is super nice if there's anything wrong with your play but we've never had it but I've seen him talk to other tables. Really the only downfall is parking sometimes it's really hard to find a parking spot.

I'm new in the area. I was feeling a little sick and was feeling some good Pho so when I looked up some places this was the closest to my place and it had great reviews so I decide to try it. Well I should of not tried it . The only 1 start was for the girl that answer the phone because she was really nice but when I order I told her I wanted a Wonton egg noddle soup but theirs come with bbq pork which i don't really care for, so I told her that if she could do grill chicken instead, she said she could for $1 dollar extra. I told her it was fine as long as it wasn't sheared chicken or else I'll just keep it the way it is. She said she would ask and told me that yes they could. Sent my bf to pick it up when he gets here all wrong!!!!! Like I specifically said I don't like shared chicken!!!!! Then It didn't even came with egg noodles they were rice noddles instead and the veggies that they put on it not fresh at all only thing that looked fresh was the cilantro and the jalapeño oh and for the wontons only had 2 small wontons like come on !! You charge so much for this soup and it's a Wonton soup and had only 2 !!!! .... Broth wasn't even special at all just alright. I won't be coming back for sure I'll prefer drive back to Fort Collins to have a wonton egg noodle soup for $10 dollars and better quality!!!

It's pretty rare for me to give a four-star review for Vietnamese cafe. Everything is always five star. I had the sauteed fish and it was just a bit salty that everything else was wonderful including my cocktail, something tropical and sweet to go with the fish.

Ordered one Fried Ginger catfish (whole) and one Fried Ginger catfish (fillet) with fried rice, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, and egg rolls. We received two catfish fillets and they were horrible. They both were like shoe leather. Bite into one and it had no give. It would not come apart. The skin was very tough. The fried rice was very bland. The soup and egg rolls were good. $66 is a lot to pay for 2 small soups and 4 egg rolls.
