First of all, the food here is good. The ingredients seem really fresh, there weren't too much but it wasn't terribly skimpy, the broth was piping hot and had great taste. The service was also very fast and attentive. Unfortunately... there are certain bugs that i don't like near my food... and there was one crawling on my vegetables... and not the hissing kind... since my pho was boiling hot i went ahead and ate it anyway but it does make me question about the cleanliness of the staff in the kitchen... it's a shame too

Love the fried eggrolls. Great flavorful chicken pho is my perfect remedy for a cold. Jalapenos clear your head & provide Vit C. Not so salty as many chicken soups. Eat in the pleasant dining area or take out when you are feeling peevish. I also enjoy the tasty cold noodle bowl in summer. Started coming here 3yrs ago & return regularly.

The website states they have a vegetarian menu and vegetarian broth. When I asked, they said no - No veg broth. when I mentioned the website the waiter just shrugged. I was quite disappointed and left.

This place has become one of my favorite pho spots. The food is great! I love their broth..its not oily and it has a nice flavor. It's not bursting with tons of flavor like pho 79 on federal, but its good! Service is quick and friendly. I prefer the female that works there. I go there at least 3 or 4 times a month..she knows my order by heart. I also get the tall gentleman on a regular basis and he doesn't remember my order..which is fine, but he also gets it wrong. That's a bit annoying but the pho makes up for it....oh and their Thai tea..yumm.
(4)Elina K.
You want Vietnamese food, preferably Pho or something Pho like. the options are endless. Denver offers pho delights in literally every direction. If you are near this place I suggest you go there. i've had pho in NYC and Philly Chinatown. this is some of the best I've had. it's not cramped or dirty. sometimes theres this greasy feeling you get when you walk into place wanting pho. I really enjoyed it and yes, the portions are huge!
(5)Justin C.
Best Pho in town in my opinion. I don't add any sauces to the broth...so tasty!!! Good coconut water too.
(5)Ashley C.
I've had better pho. Spring roll was disappointing. Service was good, very friendly staff. Pho seemed very plain to me.
(2)David V.
I know people say pho is pho but this place is the best. The broth itself is less greasier than other places. The staff is great. The food is served fast and hot.
(5)Anita J.
I would like to compliment this place. Pretty and clean. Portions are humongous! Tastes good too - one star off for having MSG in food, i asked server if they add it and there was positive reply. Would be interesting to try their meals without this additive and to compare. I would certainly go there more often if they would not have it added. 4 stars. solid.
(4)Megan A.
I think this may be my new favorite Pho place!! I think the broth is delicious, rare steak was fantastic, good spring rolls and peanut sauce. Good crab wontons!! I'm excited about coming back here! Win!
(5)Samantha P.
Best pho I've had! Heard I had to go get pho from Pho 7 through word of mouth and now I am definitely a regular who visits every week (typically for takeout) and their food is consistently delicious. The crab egg rolls are amazing, and they definitely have the best crab cheese wontons I've ever had. Service is always friendly. They never disappoint! Denver has a lot of pho/Vietnamese restaurants and none of them compare to Pho 7.
(5)Paul E.
This was my first time here. I have eaten at a few other pho restaurants and I enjoyed this the best. I was there at lunchtime, with the portions, price, and taste I am very surprised it was not busier. The service was very friendly attentive and fast. Food was out very fast. The best part for me was finally finding Thai Tea that was made in house and not from a bottle. Delicious!!
(5)julie n.
The pho had a weird smell/taste...kinda burnt or something. Lacked anise and broth was bland. Many pho restaurants in Aurora, I wouldn't recommend this one. PS. I am Vietnamese.
(2)Sara G.
I LOVE the Pho here! However their service is something awful! I usually eat in or pick up my Take Out order. I called today to see if they offer delivery, as I work like 1 block away. The lady who answers says "No sorry". So I asked if I can order Take Out, and she does not understand me and instead of asking me to hold for someone else to answer my questions, she hangs up!?!? And this is not the first time there is language barrier there. It's irritating. And rude. Not good for business! And beware, before you leave a tip for your Take Out order, because they will charge your a fee for Take Out. Not sure why there is a Take Out fee anyways, but they should disclose that fee, and they do not. So I say "No TIP for you!"
(1)S. Q.
Update from my previous review: Service was really bad tonight. The waitress we really liked hasn't been around in a while, but we were still regulars, that's going to change though. They didn't bring us water even though we asked literally 3 times. My husband mentioned it again as we paid and they handed him water as we were walking out the door, which was silly. They never brought my son's lemonade but we think we were charged for it. Had this been our first visit it would've gotten 1 star, but it was actually like our 76th visit and we really loved the place when our favorite waitress and the owner were around.
(3)Heather C.
This is my favorite Pho place. I found it randomly when driving by and decided to give it a try. It's the best broth I've had. The staff greets and serves you immediately. We have waters on out table at the same time we are sliding into the seats. You have your food within minutes of ordering and are able to enjoy a great meal in a nice dining environment. When you finish, you go to the counter and they ring you up. You can look over the ticket before you pay, which is just a nice extra measure. Overall, it's a fantastic Pho place that I wish more people knew about.
(5)Josh J.
some of the best phó ive ever had. Sure, all pho places are generally the same, and it's hard to differentiate them, but this place has an edge up. It is cleaner than most. it seems fresher than most. it is extremely consistent. and the staff is super friendly. highly recommended for the phó lover.
(5)Vilma S.
One of my favorite Pho places in Denver. The place is clean and the service is very good. Staff is very friendly and efficient. The broth is really delicious and you don't have to add too much stuff to it to improve it. Good portion of noodles and meat. Usually get the small Rare Steak Pho bowl and always ask them to put it in a medium bowl since I don't like spilling any of it. The Vietnamese Egg Rolls and Summer Rolls are delicious as well as the Vietnamese coffee. I like that it is close to home and there is plenty of free parking.

Today my bf took me to one of my boyfriend's favorite pho places for brunch. Why pho for brunch? Well, it is Sunday and about 11am so it's too early for me to call it lunch and besides I didn't have breakfast yet. Anyways, we both ordered pho #9 (well done flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe). I had the small bowl and his was a medium. In comparison the medium bowl had more noodles. The meat portion was smaller than what I'm use to getting when I order small at other pho places. My bf agrees but he loves the broth here. Overall, the service is great. The owner and waiter were very attentive. I recommend this place- I enjoyed their pho and Thai tea. I will come back to try their vermicelli noodle bowls.
(4)Ryan B.
Pho was great! Ambiance was nice. Other food was ok. Seems like they just focus on the soup. But it's prob the cleanest pho restaurant I've been in.
(4)Tif D.
Pho is pretty competitive in Denver and this one is good albeit a little pricey. I won't lie, we both had a combo plate since we're pigs, lol. I had a noodle bowl with shrimp, beef, pork, chicken and egg rolls. Hubby had the rice plate with all the same proteins. His comes with an over easy egg, but it was hard-cooked. Great egg rolls and dipping/fish sauce. We'll definitely go back for pho.
(4)Josh A.
This is a perfectly standard pho restaurant. Their portions are smaller and their prices are higher, but overall not a bad place to get a bowl of pho
(3)Chris Y.
My husband and I decided to try this place after Pho 79 took a nose dive in quality and service. We have to say, we like this place a lot. Prices are about $1 more that most other pho places ($7.95 for a small) . My husband got the rare steak and tendon (with extra tendon) and I got the rare steak and tripe. Both were quickly delivered and had ample amount of meat. Their broth is very flavorful and not too heavy on star anise or basil. The boba they serve pretty good, though the tapioca pearls are sometimes stuck together. They also make a decent vietnamese egg roll. The thing we like the most about this place is that they are super friendly. You are always immediately greeted by staff and seated right away. They come by and take your order as soon as you look ready and the food comes out quickly. This is now our Pho place of choice.
(4)Hollie M.
This place is wonderful. The people that work here are SO friendly and polite. The pho is amazing. Not crazy about the crab egg rolls but the wontons are worth it. I will definitely keep coming back.
(5)Paul D.
Solid Pho place, though I'm no expert. The portions were reasonable, the broth tasty, and the chicken (I'm a Pho Ga guy) was perfectly tender and lean. Service was a little slow at times but they were pretty busy. I would absolutely come back.
(4)Samantha D.
My boyfriend and I just stopped in Pho 7 for lunch today and it was delicious! We both had the 1B combo followed by the espresso with condensed milk. Wow! Everything was so yummy. I definitely suggest the 1B combo for first timers to get a taste of everything Pho 7 offers and the sweet condensed milk and espresso was a great dessert. Just a heads up, you pay at the counter whenever you are finished so don't be surprised if the waiter doesn't return after you've finished your meal. Ps. Try the peanut sauce in the squeeze tube on the table... So good!!!
(4)Domino L.
They mess up my phone order a lot! Their meat cuts are incredibly thin so you have to order an extra meat. Being a 25 year old male it's definitely not enough. They do have a very clean broth and and awesome grilled beef spring roll! So I mean the convenience of being able to walk there and it is pho and they have good in-dining service I give them 3 stars. Owner I'm a a very nice gentleman. Also a HUGE selection of boba.
(3)Sarah H.
I wouldn't say that the Pho here is radically different from the Pho I've had in other restaurants, but this restaurant gets a little bit of a boost because it has a nice atmosphere and the service was good. I like that they offer Hoisin sauce in addition the the standard Sriracha, as well. They are a little stingy with the meat, though you can order extra for about $1.50. Prices for the Pho were reasonable, but $4 for a vietnamese coffee seemed pretty steep. I would go here again, but mainly because of the location.
(3)Steven Binh N.
Been here a couple of times now and hli have to say the pho here is great. What makes it so good is the broth the taste is so bold and flavorful that my other pho spot has become plain. I will make the drive to come here though try it you will love it.
(5)Marcus T.
Of course there's better Pho spots around town, but Pho 7 definitely does the trick. Especially if you live in the neighborhood. Fast, fresh, clean, and cheap. I'm a fan
(4)Hailey Z.
Not the best pho in town. Bland broth with nothing interesting going on. Ordered the beef and chicken vermicelli. Beef was nice but the chicken was flavorless with an unnatural yellow color. decent spring roll, nice staff.
(2)Amy F.
I've developed a slight pho-ddiction as of late, so I keep trying different places in the area. This place has a certain flavor in their broth that will keep me coming back, I find it more of a sweet flavor than salty and didn't add as much to it, so I could savor the natural flavor. I usually just get take out because they are so close to my home, and they package everything perfectly (plus this strip mall it totally sketchy as others have noted). Quick friendly service. I will keep coming back to feed my pho beast!
(4)Jaz R.
This place rocks! Did not expect medium size be that huge! I will be honest with you, did not finish it all...as no space left! I always go for rare stake soup - love it. Especially spiced up with jalapeno peppers and basilique or whatever name is hehe.
(5)R B.
Finally, delicious pho! Service was was great, very courteous and attentive staff. I maybe took two bites of my summer roll when our pho came out piping hot-as it's suppose to be served! Side veggies fresh and absent of bruising. Entire place was definitely clean and not to overwhelming like some other places. I will definitely be going here again!
(4)Jason L.
I challenge you to find a better combination of service, value, and taste. This is simply the best Denver Pho restaurant I've ever been to, and I've been to at least a dozen of these places in the city. The highs: - lightning quick service that is extraordinarily polite - excellent pricing - great Pho - fine Boba The lows: - I eat here 1-2 times a month, and every once in a while I get some bean sprouts that are a little too old. Nothing dangerous mind you, just not crunchy. - When you get it to go, the noodles are just a little too cold. It might be nice if they took them out of the fridge an hour before I ordered, LOL. Basically, it's 4.5 stars perfect. Is the ambiance to die for? Absolutely not. The beauty school is next door, the pot dispensary is down the way, and the strip club is a block over. Sometimes it's hard to find a parking spot, and crossing Hampden can take a few minutes during rush hour. However, at $7 for a great big bowl of Pho, I'll deal with all of it. BTW - if you're in the Tech Center and you're looking for a place to eat, this restaurant is less than 10 minutes north of 225. Buzz up early at lunch time, however, as the seats fill up fast.
(5)Russ S.
I have been out here for a couple days on business. I am from SoCal where you can get Pho all over the place. This morning I woke up with a fever and the flu. I have had a long day handling business and have been thinking about Pho all day. Yelp comes to the rescue once again. I decided on Pho 7 because of the reviews. When I walked in, I was immediately seated, given a menu and asked what I would like to drink. I had food in front of me within 5 minutes of sitting down. I ordered the large bowl of beef and meatball Pho. To help kick the cold, I loaded it up with chili and sriachi sauce. Since it was a large bowl and I had leftover broth, the waitress asked if I would like to take it home. She packaged it up for me with a smile. Next time I am in the area, I will be visiting Pho 7 again.
(5)Becca R.
This was my first Pho experience and I must say I was impressed. I got a HUGE bowl of food for $6! The broth was rich in flavor and piping hot. We were also served a large plate of basil, sprouts and lime which was a wonderful addition. My only feedback would be that there were no vegetables in my entree nor was there a vegetable entree available. I would've like to have seen that availability. This place has definitely opened me up to wanting to try more Pho dining in Denver.
(4)Brady K.
I've been searching for another Pho place that matches 79. I've found it! Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but once, I was watching "When Vacations Attack" on the Travel channel and it showed a scene where a car drove through Pho 7 and almost killed a guy. So, I was like, I totally need to eat here! You can tell that the place was renovated and even has a little half wall that protects against future reckless drivers. Of course I sat by the window, because I live dangerously. Service was fast and they were hustling. The pho came out really fast and it had a great fragrant broth and decent servings. I was wanting a little bit more meat, which gives 79 a slight edge. One thing I always look for in a restaurant like this is a little diversity. There was definitely a lot of Asian representation here, so I interpret it as Pho 7 having street credibility. I definitely will go back and its nice to know there are good options for Pho.
(5)Todd R.
Well I am writing to say that I love this place and they have the customer in mind at all times or so I think but I do eat here at least once a week. You know when your eating Pho and you set your spoon in the bowl off to the side and it drops in and you have to go fishing for well need not to worry they have new spoons that are longer and have a little hook on the end so not to fall in the little details count to me. I came here because my usual fish store is right next door so I go to both on the same trip so that is convenient for me. I eat/order the Pho and the Vermicelli Noodle bowls. when i order the 2B I ask for no vegetables on bottom i just don't care for them (cucumbers and lettuce) so what do they do for me the add more noodles to the bowl and a lot of times more meet to it as well. The only problem that I have had is with paying my credit card some times doesn't want to scan so they have to manually type the number in. This can be tricky for some and not for others so I ended up having to come back the next day for another bowl and pay for both when I knew someone would be in that knew how to run the machine. The owner tried to buy my meal and I wasn't having it so what did he do he brought me an extra bowl of brisket meet out for me to indulge in as well. He is very concerned about his food and service. To me the food and service is excellent its nice for me to walk in and they ask if I want the usual. I have had Pho from 79,95,55,88, Saigon, Duoy, 45, Vet II, King(Hawaii), and several others here in Denver. 79 is closer to my house, work, & school and but I will still drive to Pho 7 for the what i think is the best of the best and not even make a stop at the fish store.
(5)Dean G.
1st off, let me just say I was never a huge Vietnamese food fan, so take my 2 stars for what it's worth. A buddy sucked me in here for lunch the other day. Bowls are pretty big and your dollar goes a long ways here. Decorating / upkeep needs improvement. Looks way to old. And what was the thing that stood out... Oh yeah... flies! FLIES FLIES FLIES! I don't know how you keep em out, but find a way. Google it! I don't know, but it's pretty disgusting and annoying to constantly be shooing them away off of your food.
(2)Juan C.
Will continue to go back
(4)Whitney A.
First, the service here is very good. They are very pleasant and thorough. The food is average. I had the Vietnamese spring rolls while waiting for my mom and my usual rare steak Pho. The spring rolls lacked flavor I thought. The fish sauce should, in my opinion, enhance the flavor, not give it flavor. they weren't bad, per se, but I wouldn't call them good. The pho was fine. It wasn't exceptional, nor would I go out of my way to eat here. But it was fine, I enjoyed it and I had a nice lunch with my mom while eating it. In my opinion, if you are driving by or near it, go ahead! But don't go out of your way.
(3)David S.
Now that I live in the SE area, I thought that I better explore the pho options near me. Sometimes, especially around dinenr time, the traffic to get to Pho 95 is just too much for me to face. Pho 7 has a good broth, but not enough meat in their bowls. They also are not very big on accommodating requested changes to the meat combinations on the menu. I am also annoyed by the number of pho places that do not provide sawgrass, and Pho 7 is among them. It is not bad pho, always very hot and a pleasant broth, and I MUCH prefer them to Pho-Yo, but the complexity of their broth is not in the same category as Pho 95. I do continue to enjoy eating here.
(3)Heidi S.
I found another pho joint. Why is my world so beautiful? Why do I crave the pho? My father served in Vietnam during the war, thank you dad for your service there and in Korea. He returned to Vietnam recently and said he looked for a half Mexican kid (or two) who looked like him. Way to gross out your daughter, dad, thanks. Poking out my mind's eye. Very good pho, quick seating, but inattention after pho was delivered - which was lightening fast, and no water refills or questions of how things were. The veggie plate was OK, just enough not to waste - sprouts were not stellar but still good. All the normal condiments on the table; who invented fish sauce? I love you. I ordered my steak on the side and it was raw and bloody and adorned with fresh onions. Hold me. A good joint in a funky part of Denver. We will go back pho sure. Oh my lord, I love me my pho.
(4)Ming T.
Hot, fresh, delicious pho. For those of you who don't like anise or sweet broth this place is for you. The broth is salty with a nice clean end. The noodles are abundant and the crab egg rolls are crispy and delicious! Service was prompt and they refilled my water 3 times while I was there. The only bad thing is the terrible location. This strip (STRIP) mall has too many businesses of the kind that I don't frequent. Verdict: Pho-sure this place is legit.
(4)Suzy B.
YES!!!!! My husband and I have been searching for a new pho place since our old fav and us had a falling out. (long story, there is a one star review for a pho place under my name if you care to search it out and yes, my one star review is overly harsh but I'm hurt). So the other night the hubby and I were finishing up some Christmas shopping and we started discussing where to grab a bite. I mentioned I had seen this pho place by our house I hadn't noticed before. Turned out to be a good suggestion. The inside looks like pretty much every other pho place. There are tables, there is very little decoration, there is sriracha on the tables. We sat down, they brought water, and we looked at the menu for a half a second before knowing exactly what to order. We got the Vietnamese eggrolls to split and two bowls of pho. The food came out quickly (and all at once but no biggie). It was delicious. Especially the egg rolls. I crave those Vietnamese egg rolls. I got addicted to them at the other pho place I won't name and don't eat at anymore because I'm mad at them and I was beginning to think I would never taste their deliciousness again. But here they are, just as wondrous as ever. The pho was great too. Hot and loaded with yummy-ness. Yes, we will eat here again. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is really only because I've only been in there once and I reserve 5 stars for places that consistently blow me away. If I go back a few times and they continue to serve me egg rolls and pho that knocks my socks off I'm sure I'll upgrade them to 5 stars.
(4)Norman P.
I've been eating Pho in and around Denver for years. This is most definitely one of my top picks for the delicious Vietnamese noodle soup. Everyone always has their own expectations for Pho - but those who know their Pho well can't help but agree that Pho 7 is exceptional. The broth has a delightfully subtly flavor which works perfectly with the meat and noodles. It makes a perfect canvas for Pho lovers out there to add all the different Pho condiments to their soup for a personalized flavor (hoisin, sriracha, lime, bean sprouts, etc.) I personally like to keep it pure. I learned from a Vietnamese friend that Pho should be enjoyed without putting the sauce into the soup in fear of tainting its essence (it was deep conversation). Ever since then I've been a purist - but I don't judge those that like to do otherwise. Pho sho. The service has always been on top of things. Within minutes of placing our order, our food comes out. Amazing. I have been to many a Pho places, and none have been so fast. There has been some reviews speculating the "thumb in the broth" dilema. At first, I have to agree that it grossed me out a little. But the truth is, it happens all the time - especially at Pho places. Just think of it as adding a little extra flavor. Harharhar! Just kidding. But seriously, a little thumb in the soup never hurt anyone. It's much better than finding other funky things in your Pho: a lollipop stick, a bandaid, a funky looking hair - all experiences I've had at other places. So no need to get your bean sprouts in a bundle. Overall, 4 stars. I'm still yet to find the ideal Pho place... Does such perfection truly exist? Pho 7 is pretty close. Stay hungry my Pho-natic friends!
(4)Tricia D.
This place may look a little sketch, considering its location, but it is, by far, the best Pho I have had in Denver. You can get it to-go and it is prepared very quickly....like within 5 minutes! They box everything seperately so that your soup doesn't get soggy on the ride home. I appreciate that. The staff at the restaurant is also SUPER nice whenever I go in there. They are always smiling and eager to assist. The Vietnamese egg rolls are amazing and are not greasy or soggy (that has been an unfortunate experience at other Pho joints I have visited). The rare beef Pho is my ultimate favorite! The beef is always sliced to perfection, always fresh and the accompanying ingredients (rice noodles, basil, jalapeno, bean sprouts and onion) are always uber fresh and crisp. The only reason that I gave this place a 4 out of 5 stars is because the last time I went in, they gave me tofu Pho (which is ok because I like tofu) instead of rare beef Pho. To top that off, when I got home, I found a used lollipop stick in with the rice noodles. Ick. Mistakes happen in every restaurant but that was a turn off for the Pho that night :( I will still frequent this place for Pho in the future though...it's still THAT good!
(4)Andrew ß.
I love Pho ! and this place was good! pho chicken order of spring roll 2pc order of egg roll 6pc i did like the cilantro that came with the rest of the vegetables... i haven't seen that at very many places.. Enjoy! Lemonade was delish ;)
(4)Jason M.
As much as I have my favorite pho spot around town, Pho 7 certainly gives other top spots a run for their money! The highlight of my visit: the broth was by far one of my top 2 favorites around town!
(4)Autumn E.
As much as I love pho, I love noodle bowl more. Chilled rice nodel served over a bed of lettuce. Topped with crunchy bright mung bean, carrot, radish, and sizzling succulent beef. Sprinkle a little aromatic green onion, cilantro, add some crushed peanut. Drench it all in house made fish sauce and sambal. Throw in some vietnamese egg roll on the side for good measure..... and I give you the nectar of gods. Pho 7 has just this noodle bowl, among other great pho classics. Service here is usually better than most pho joints. The ambiance is more updated than the sometimes blah white washed walls, squeaky vinyl chairs, calendar of a half clothed vietnamese girl holding an umbrella in the corner, and taiwanese pop music (oldie's but goodies!) of their competitors. This pho place isn't as well known so it's never over crowded.
(4)Jess W.
My favorite Pho place - haven't tried many but this one is by far the best I've tried. Fast service - your seated and water and veggie plate brought almost immediately. The broth is rich and tasty, veggies provided are copious and fresh (I think they must grow them in the back!). Staff is friendly, the manager (I guess he is) is happy to answer any questions. If you take it to go, the waitress will package it up for you at your table. Is that normal? It's certainly appreciated. Their iced tea is fantastic. Addictive! Love my pho.
(5)Mark S.
A friend lives right around the corner, so we went for lunch yesterday. Great spring rolls and peanut sauce. Noodles were a tad cold, but it didnt stop me from going house on them. I will def. be returning, since I will be down there quite a bit. GO PROP64! Restaurants around the state will benefit from this.

Very good pho! And super shrimp! There are so many pho places now, most of them with poor quality pho that I was nicely surprised when I lapped up my first coupla spoonfuls. Didier Corlou (world famous pho chef) says broth is difficult "because it takes so long to cook, and you need strong bones and meat--oxtail and marrow-filled shinbones--and before being cooked they should be blanched and rinsed so the soup will be very clear. And you must not skim off all of the fat. Some is needed for flavor." (Smithsonian Magazine) Most new pho places miss something about these basic fundamentals. But Pho 7 is right on. Their spices and spice mix are slightly unusual and somehow not the standard fare around town. But I enjoyed that flavor expression. The shrimp my friend had were really excellent and again had some little secret spice that made it different from most shops. I really enjoyed our meal, the granite tables and decor. I'll definitely go back. Beats the hell out of Pho fusion down the street (which should be called "faux fusion" due to it's poor quality.) Pho 7 is the perfect example why it can be fun to cruise around town trying out different hole in the wall joints.

I work in the Tech Center and this is a weekly (sometimes twice a week) destination for myself and many of my coworkers. The restaurant seating area is clean, and has a southern exposure to the afternoon sun. The bathrooms are always clean. (hint, if the bathrooms aren't clean, what do you think the kitchen sanitation standards might be?) Service is always fast - a couple seconds after entering you will get a friendly 'How many?' from one of the always courteous wait staff. The menu has pho, rice noodle bowls and rice plates. The rice noodle bowls are great if I decide I don't want soup - they deliver a bowl layered with lettuce, mung bean sprouts, cucumbers, then rice noodles, topped with succulent grilled meats, egg roll, or shrimp. On the side is a delicate dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, and spices. Sprinkle that over the top, and you are good to go. (If you're super-hungry, do yourself a favor and splurge on the very generous all-topping combo.) The Pho is topnotch- a clear meaty soup broth delivered with a mound of rice noodles your choice of protein, and a handful of thinly sliced onion and scallion. On the side they deliver the traditional options - saw weed, Thai basil, sliced jalapeno, lime, and mung bean sprouts. I like the juice of one piece of lime in a small bowl of soup and as much of the saw weed and basil as I can take without being rude to anyone else at the table sharing. I recommend trying the 10 or 11- for the adventurous. All the meats, even the freaky-to-Westerners tripe (chewy but not much taste) and tendon (fatty and gelataneous). Honestly, I tell them to hold the tendon, but if you end up going all the way, having both tripe and tendon will not ruin the flavor of the soup if you decide to eat around them. The vegetables and bean sprouts are fresh- you may see some spotting on the basil the day before the next delivery, but unlike other places I've been the sprouts are never brown / decaying, nor the herbs limp/dead-looking. I see other people talking about lack of water refills or checking up on how things are- I've never had a water problem, maybe they read Yelp and saw the complaints. As for checking up to see how things are - they don't need to, because it's always consistently delicious. Seriously, this is a basically a three dish place and they have it down. The few times I had a problem I waived to one of the servers (there's always one at the counter and one on the floor or fetching food) and they come right over. You're supping on heaven-soup for 6 bucks a bowl, get over yourself. re: Rick's review and the accused broth-touching: I've not seen the wait staff intentionally touch the food while serving. Maybe they fired this fetishist, or maybe the broth hit the top of their thumb. Either way, guess what - kitchen and wait staff touch your food all the time. Ever work at a restaurant? No, you probably haven't. Maybe watch some tv.... you ever watch those cake shows, where they're working the fondant in their hands for 20 minutes? Enough said. Consistently delicious, inexpensive, and authentic 'street food' served quickly and cheerfully at $1 over crappy fast food options? Yes please. 5 stars, DTC workers need to try this place.

It was alright... the broth wasn't as intense as other pho joints. One thing I didn't like about this place (and I believe other people have also written about) is their "inattention after pho was delivered". Actually, Heidi S, I think I would like to add that they were absolutely careless WHILE DELIVERING the pho. On numerous occasions I saw the waiter touching the broth with the tip of his fingers while serving. I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want to scare the people eating it. But I feel like it is something very very VERY important to point out if you are the type that pays close attention to basic food sanitation. If anything, I think this Pho joint is overrated. Pho 95 and 75 are the best ones around in my opinion.

I'm not sure that I'm 100% on the Pho bandwagon-but I think it's slowly growing on me. Last night it was perfect because I'm fighting off a cold and it just sounded perfect, plus my friend said it's like magic Pho soup. I had the #15 which is with chicken and I ate almost the entire thing. It was great-I could even somewhat taste things which was awesome! I've had it here before with the raw beef which cooks in the broth and that was really good as well. Service here is good, fast and friendly-a little lacking on the water refills but other than that no complaints. I'll be back again I'm sure.

This is my coworkers and I's go-to Pho place for our weekly outing for Pho! The inside reminds me of Pho 95 on Federal, the service is attentive and the food comes out fast. I am really trying to taste the broth before adding anything to it. I feel like that really is the what will set you apart from other Pho places. Pho 7's broth is really good. Actually, I liked it better than Pho 95 on Federal. I have been numerous times to Pho 7 and they consistenly provide me with delicious pho, great service, typical portions, and the reasonable prices!

Most pho places are disappointing, to me, because my wife makes the best. But Pho 7 is the next best. The broth is really flavorful, the meat and veggies are fresh and overall, it's a great experience. Also, try the noodle bowls and the fried spring rolls. Excellent.

This is a great neighborhood/business pho gathering. It's homey, clean, and has a great taste, not too salty or loaded with MSG. There is a good variety in the selection and the portion size is fantastic! I love the quick service because I'm always starving when I go there. I don't stink when I leave the place, which is important to me because its back to work, who wants to smell like onions?! The staff is friendly and really remember the little stuff. They are polite and personable. They give you dum dums at the counter. Fun.

This will be the most amazing review ever written... Good broth, good noodle to meat ratio, good service. Overall...good. Put it in your gullet and enjoy it. Alright, maybe not the most amazing review "ever."

I love this place! i'm from Orange County and Pho 7 would be among the best in Little Siagon. Pho is perfectly flavored and beautifully fragrant. Not overly salted like most places. The BBQ'd meats and especially the shrimp are fantastic. Try the fruit drinks . . . amazing!

Not my kinda of Pho. I've had better one. I had the rice combination and the bones are still on the meat which makes it hard to eat. If you're in the Aurora area I suggest Pho53 and in Denver area Pho95. Pho95 is by far a better Pho I've ever had.
