I finally made it to this place. I tend to be a creature of habit and keep going to the same PHO place over and over. I think I found a new favorite. I like the atmosphere and the service was prompt. We started with the cheese wontons which were delicious. My girlfriend had the traditional PHO bowl while I had the pork fried rice. I left here looking forward to when I get to visit again.

Want the best pho? CHECK OUT PHO 95. Guys, this is your competition and WORLDS BETTER in quality, flavor and service. Check my picture for proof. It speaks for itself. I live walking distance from Pho Real, and I will forever drive to Pho 95 now. P.S. To the owner of Pho Real, I know you are grumpy and are running a consistently slow business. HOWEVER, that is not an excuse to sit on your butt with your shoes off (gross and unprofessional) while your staff puts on a brave face. Thank you.

We ordered the combo fried rice for take out. When we opened it, it contained virtually no beef, shrimp or chicken. What a joke! Over $11 for a container of rice.
(1)Wendy H.
I love this place and their location.
(5)Clement C.
Visited Denver not expecting to find a good Pho place but found a gem in Littleton. Great service, friendly atmosphere, clean and Pho very authentic. Will visit again next time I am in Denver.
(5)Chelsea S.
After being greeted by a friendly face, we found a table. Nice, clean atmosphere and awesome customer service. The pho did not disappoint either, you can tell they use fresh, high quality ingredients. Will definitely venture back to Pho Real again! Thanks for the soup!

My boyfriend and I came here last Friday night after an awesome workout sesh at the 24 hour nearby. We wanted something healthy and delicious, & pho sounded awesome! Upon entering, we were impressed with the decor of the place. Modern American, still with a Vietnamese feel. We were seated right away although this place was nearly packed. We ordered coconut shrimp to start, $8. I had the seafood pho, medium size, $8. My guy had the brisket & stead pho, medium size, with extra meat, $10. Our pho came out right away, literally within a couple minutes of ordering. and was served with sprouts, lime, and a couple jalapeno slices. We never got the coconut shrimp, and our server never came back to check on us so we weren't able to ask about it. The servings were very big! Next time I will probably get a small size, about $7. I couldn't even come close to finishing! I made the mistake of taking a bite of the raw jalapeno, ouch! It was extremely hot. I drank all of my water, and my dates. Our server didn't come around to refill our waters. Someone else eventually did and the fire in my mouth was finally put out. At 8pm I noticed they turned off their open sign. I think they should stay open until 9 on a Friday night because people kept coming in right up until closing. The food here was great, so was the atmosphere, and the value was there. We were bummed we never got our coconut shrimp, but then again, we had more than enough food and we were never charged for what didn't come. The service really needs some improving here. You don't just drop off your tables order and never return. We're definitely coming back soon!

This is the jam, yo. Standout elements include: * A fantastic sign behind one of the server stations that read, in huge bold print, no cell phones, iPads, etc. in front of customers * Another fantastic sign above the back exit with something to the effect of "Go forth and follow your dreams," which left me thinking, "You know what? I will." And then she-beaux and I appropriated it as our toast * Gluten free soy sauce * Open kitchen (behind a big glass window, but I love they can stand behind what they do) * Biggest stinkin' TV ever, dominating the room and the view I destroyed the fried rice and she-beaux annihilated pho. It got the approval, and she-beaux knows pho.

I went here a few months ago and had a lovely experience. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was even better. I felt I was spending time with friends and family when interacting with the staff. Go eat there!
(5)Lesley A.
Super cute restaurant in downtown Littleton. We've been there twice and it seems to be digressing. The pho servings were pretty dismal. I ordered a medium sized pho chicken bowl. There was maybe a total of 1 oz of chicken in the bowl. The broth tasted like basic chicken stock - not a standard Vietnamese stock.
(2)Terri B.
It's on the corner of Main and Prince street in downtown Littleton. One of my favorites is the soft shelled crab. They always have good mussels and shrimp Sonny, Vicky and Vy are very friendly and serve your meal very quickly. I'm bringing my friends down here on Friday.

After living nearby for 10 months, Pho Real has quickly become one of our go-to places on any given night. Weeknights they have our take out ready in 10 minutes. Weekends- even during last nights criterium or other featuvals- there are always tables available. And the table service was reasonably fast (the owners' matriarch ensures quick service). Go ahead and look through the window to the kitchen where four or five people are tirelessly engaged for hours making Pho and keeping the place sparkling. The dishes are all well portioned (we only get the small sizes and the kids get kid sizes). My favorite is the traditional beef, with thinly sliced beef in an aromatic broth that gets texture by adding jalapeños, basil, and sprouts. The noodles come on a bed of lettuce with protein on top, but very little broth. The summer rolls are so fresh I swear they pick the vegetables in a back garden daily. Sauces are on every table to spice it up. That's what makes pho so appealing, right? You can mix and match based on your daily preferences. In pho reals case, they make everyone happy.
(5)Victoria W.
I have eaten at many pho places and have not encountered a pho place like Pho Real. Their Pho is clean, and by that I mean it's not heavy and full of grease! Portions are not huge, but you get enough to make your hunger stay at bay. Service is great, nice location, and good pho. The food is never a miss here. Thanks Pho Real for making a pho real delicious:) Pho Real!
(5)Megan W.
Jason and I biked in the sweltering heat to Pho Real Saturday evening for date night. We are new to the neighborhood, and were ecstatic to find this little gem. The service was superb - seeing us crawl in drenched in sweat, the ice water was on the table in a flash. We both ordered cold noodle bowls - I had beef, Jason had shrimp - and they were amazing. Our waiter suggested apps, and favorite dishes for us. Everything we had was perfect. The shrimp were butterflied, seasoned, and grilled, and my steak was so perfectly seasoned and prepared I saved bites for the end. Pho Real is family friendly, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions were large. The food was so good, however that neither of us had leftovers. Jason and I were both singing the praises of Pho Real all weekend, and can't recommend this spot highly enough. We will certainly be putting it at the top of the regular rotation. Can't wait to go back!!
(5)Jamie D.
-9 outside and toasty warm inside (seriously it feels like the bench I am sitting on is heated) and I am savoring a veggie in beef broth (no tofu, extra veggies). It's the perfect wintery meal!
(5)Bonnie L.
FIRST TIME: We enjoy pho and after Hudson Gardens this sounded like the perfect family eatery. Pho Real has friendly efficient service but the food (NOT real) was not close to our usual pho experiences - much lettuce in the egg rolls??? My bun bowl was also full of lettuce w/tons of noodles which left little taste. Don't set on the side street area - everything the back door is open, which was often) FREEZING air flies across your food - also carrying hot bowls of soup past people at this area was dangerous. Won't don't need to return here.
(2)Spencer V.
Stopped here for lunch. Very quick and the bowls for pho are huge, definitely worth the price. I would recommend adding the double meat to your bowl.
(5)Brittany B.
Have to be honest: I hadn't even heard of Pho Real until my man told me about it. It's a bit further than I normally travel for my pho fix (though I suppose south Havana isn't exactly convenient to visit very often) but it did the trick. The ambiance reminds me of a Gordon Ramsey make over with clean, modern touches, pho-related quotes painted against a white back drop. Simple yet inviting. The broth is good. Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. The pork spring rolls came out with shrimp in them as well, which was a nice surprise for me but might not be for any non-seafoodies. As for the main attraction: Plenty of noodles, a good amount of steak, and good amount of sprouts. My only real gripe was with the lime. It was missing. Likely due to the shortage the world is experiencing but the lemon that was served in its place was an alright substitute. Oh, and only two slices of jalapeno. Granted this was per plate & each person receives their own. And I didn't ask for any extra, so it musn't have been THAT big of a deal. Service was friendly, though yes, we did have to wait for water a bit but the food came out very quick. All in all, a good option if you're in the area. Not sure I'll seek it out but I definitely won't avoid it.
(3)Lindsey P.
Yum yu and more yum! This is the first time I've ever tried Pho and I can only say it's out of this world! We chose to sit at the bar and had such a great experience. The bar tender helped us pick out the perfect meal since we had no idea what we were doing. The ambiance is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the food is AMAZING!!!
(5)Tim B.
I really like this place, especially the location - downtown Littleton. Had been wanting to try it for some time, so I dropped by with my wife and kids. The dining area is nice, clean, and contemporary. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. We started with the Vietnamese eggrolls. My son got a Pho bowl with seafood, while the rest of us got chicken. We all loved it - nice flavor, but not overdone. The portions were large, and the service was fast. Overall a great experience. You can tell these guys are putting effort into running their restaurant right. I highly recommend it.
(5)Mark S.
This place is awesome we had pho and it was done perfectly and NHU WAS a perfect host and made us feel very welcome there keep up the great work
(5)Karla S.
Great pho...great service. My 5 year old loved that she could order her own kid size bowl of pho. Would definitely come back!
(5)Alex C.
We had the real special plate. We had fun making spring rolls. Much harder than you'd think. The staff is truly Vietnamese so the food is authentic. The wait staff was attentive and kind. Prices are a bit higher but im sure the rent in downtown littleton is as well so I can understand. We will be back.
(4)Carol T.
My husband and I stopped in here for dinner b4 a movie I had the chicken bowl (first time having Pho - ever) & the medium was too much! I couldn't eat it all but could not take home due to the movie engagement. The broth was enhanced by the fresh jalapeño slices and bean sprouts & mint leaves. My husband had the grilled pork & white rice - fresh & tender pork. Also tried the coffee - delicious chocolaty iced coffee. The staff - Bin especially - were attentive and friendly. Great addition to the downtown Littleton food scene.
(4)Emilia P.
My husband and I just moved back here from Seattle and are very familiar to the Vietnamese food. We came in last night and ordered the vegetarian pho and the Vietnamese meatball pho, I have to say it was OUTSTANDING food and even better service!! You will for sure see us again!
(5)Cheryl B.
Moving to the Denver area from the San Francisco Bay Area, it's important to find all the good local Asian restaurants! And I think Pho Real checks the box for good Vietnamese. The service was excellent, and very friendly. The food was delicious -- I had the seafood pho, my husband had the brisket pho. Both were very good. The noodles were a little stickier than I prefer when the food was first brought out, but less than halfway through the meal they had softened to the right consistency.
(4)JL S.
Awesome place. CHICKEN SOUP IS FANTASTIC! Veggies always fresh. We go here 2-3x per week. Service is always stellar and the Pho is fabulous!. We've tried several around town and like Pho Real BEST!. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Owner Sonny and servers Susan and V are our favorites!
(5)Barbara F.
Had coupon from Restaurant.com , which was not honored by the restaurant per a notice on the front door that indicated they were no longer accepting restaurant.com coupons. (I have contacted restaurant.com for a refund.) Very disappointing to say the least. Regarding the food: My husband and I both had Pho, and found the broth to be very bland (no where near as good as Pho Basil in Belmar (Lakewood)). That said, wait staff was very nice and the restaurant was clean.
(2)Angela L.
Stopped here for lunch with a friend who had heard good things about it. The restaurant did not disappoint. I had the small, generously portioned mixed seafood pho. It was very delicious and had a lot of seafood in it. My friend had the rare brisket and meatball pho and similarly raved. One of our waiters, Sonny, was very attentive and told us the menu items were family recipes. Will definitely come back for a return visit.
(4)Katie W.
Yummy, quick and inexpensive.
(4)Ruth C.
Nice, warm place to be in the well below 0 degree cold weather. Was honestly expecting more based on all the awesome reviews for it. It was kinda like going to a movie that everyone says you shouldn't miss, but when you go to see it, you realize that your expectations were too high. But...I did enjoy the pho and *loved* that the heater vents were below the booth seats. It felt like heated seats..like you have in your car but so much warmer and better in the restaurant. Service the night we were there was average. We ran out of water and it didn't get refilled til almost when we were leaving. I also felt like maybe someone went out on a short shopping spree with my credit card since it took them a bit to get it back to me ;). Folks were nice...and food was tasty...so I will be back to try it again for sure...
(3)Chris H.
Ok, if you don't like this place then you must be eating with the wrong part of your head. The broth is great, as is everything in it. It's better if you eat there, but I got mine to-go and was given tips on the best way to prepare it at home from the rad girl working (should've gotten her name...) and it was great at home. Eat here! (With your mouth)
(5)Tryna R.
Great location, fast service, amazing food. It's a step above most pho places- close to federal quality without the grimy ghetto feel. We tried a rice place, pork rice, cheese wontons and a mango boba. The sauces are all homemade and good. It was all yummy, our water glasses were always full too. It's pricier than most places and the quality makes it worth it. They don't really check back to see how everything is because they know you're good. The boba was in slabs and frozen solid- I was bummed I couldn't enjoy it, but the mango part was tasty. We'll be back soon!
(4)Kim Z.
Great food and hospitality! Ask the manager about pho and he will give you a vivid history of its origin and transformation with passion! Thanks for sharing your mom's cooking with the rest of us, 'Pho Real!!
(5)Marc A.
So, they fixed their lighting (much softer and a nicer ambiance) and the pho keeps getting better and better. Five stars!
(5)Leah M.
We went back to Pho Real on a noodle bowl hankering. I got a grilled steak noodle bowl, and it had rice noodles, peanuts, lettuce, and more. Although I am usually wary of sweet sauces, this was so light and so subtly sweet that I more than tolerated it- I enjoyed it. My husband and I both had leftovers and are excited for tomorrow's lunch. We ordered our meal to go, and as we waited, someone brought us water- a very thoughtful gesture. The lighting has apparently gotten a little better, which is another plus, but it still wouldn't hurt to be dimmed a little. So glad that this place is here!
(5)Dawn S.
My husband and I have made this our weekly ritual. I love the small vegetarian pho bowl with an order of the crispy spring rolls and my husband gets the beef! The servings are massive and loaded with flavor. I also get the root salad which is my new addiction! Love the service and the location.
(5)Rebecca H.
I can't stop thinking about Pho Real. The broth for their pho is incredibly craveable. I have been there twice now and wish that number was higher. Both times I ordered the general pho bowl with rare beef. The portions are quite large--even for a "small" bowl--and very affordable. Super friendly staff, very accommodating. Stop in on a cold, snowy day and you will find there is nothing more satisfying than their warm pho.
(4)Jenn B.
My husband grabbed take-out here the other night and we ate at home. I can't speak to the venue or service, so this one's just about the food. I did not like the seafood pho. I knew it was a long shot that it would be good, and sadly the seafood did nothing to exceed expectations. The shrimp was tasty, but the calamari was extremely chewy and not at all appetizing. The "crab" was only okay, better than the calamari but not good enough to eat all of it. Though the meat part of my meal was lacking, the actual pho broth and noodles were very good! I also loved all the fresh bean sprouts, lime, and basil. My companions, each of whom had gotten one of the beef offerings, really like their food too. So next time, I'm going to stick with my go-to pho, which is with the Vietnamese meatballs.
(3)Mark C.
Very friendly staff! Which brings a customer experience to a different level. Ordered the main dish that has every meat which I totally forgot what it is called. But it is very tasty and will for sure return. Parking lot it around the corner if you are lucky their will be vacant spots front of the store.
(5)Cale G.
Best pho I've had inside the beltway. Rich, flavorful, and aromatic broth really does the trick, especially on a cold/rainy day. Their boba tea is pretty good too. I really liked the Taro.
(5)Kirby L.
Ate a late night dinner here with a friend; it was our first time here. We both ordered a traditional pho bowl which was delicious as usual. When we wanted boba tea, our waiter, who was very friendly and helpful, recommended Thai tea with added boba. The tea was delicious but the boba were stale and frozen. The texture was horrible. I was so disappointed about that after not getting to have boba for the eight months prior. But overall I was very pleased with my meal, the quick service, and bubbly waiter. I would recommend to any pho lovers! (But bot boba tea lovers!)
(4)Casey S.
I am ecstatic to have a pho restaurant on Main Street. The broth has excellent flavor and the portions are the usual size. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I dined alone for lunch and the waiter made sure I had everything I needed. The portions of vegetables they serve are a little small. But, if you ask for more they bring plenty. I've ordered the pho, the noodle bowl, and a few boba smoothies. All of them were very delicious. Try the avocado smoothie!
(4)Jon R.
Delicious bowl of pho. The broth was richer than the first time I tried it, shortly after they opened. A medium brisket and meatball was enough for a big appetite
(5)Nick G.
Hit all the marks in my book: -Great atmosphere and fun design (both menu and decals on wall). -Food was good and reasonably priced. -Service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. No complaints!
(5)Kammie W.
I am sitting here slurping away as I write this on my phone. In Littleton from Denver and wanted to grab lunch while in area. I'm a pho crazed person and I had to stop in when I saw the sign. I'm a vegetarian and of course got the pho so that's the only dish I can comment on. I have a sinus infection and could still smell the aromatic broth when it was set down in front of me 3 min after I ordered it. Full of bite sized veggies and strips of tofu in a huuuuge bowl of aforementioned brothy goodness. A pet peeve of mine is getting any soup w huge chunks of veggies that would be barely edible as is on a side dish much less in a soup. +1 for me. The tofu is still fried so doesn't feel soggy or slimey as some can get. another +1. I'm pretty friggin happy about this bowl of pho so I'm surprised the reviews aren't more stellar. Prices are on point w authentic places on federal and little cheaper than downtown or fancier places. Super super quick service and my waiter was very nice and attentive. Only giving 4 stars since based on one-time-one-dish experience. My only worry is getting on the light rail w what i will guess to be a large amount of leftover pho. As I visit more I may adjust, hopefully up!
(4)Meredith C.
Never had boba before. Yum-ba. That stuff is weird and tasty! I enjoy it. As for the pho itself, it was pretty good. The service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. It wasn't anything too special - save the name OBVIOUSLY! A friend of mine I are thinking about opening some competition across the street and calling it "Pho Shizzle" and then maybe opening an Italian place next door called "Ma Rizzzle". Think Snoop would invest? Ah...the dreams we can dream.
(3)Christian M.
Awesome food!! Personal Service!!! Thank you
(5)Joseph B.
Had a medium bowl on a Saturday evening in January 2014 and was greeted as I entered. The clever sayings artfully displayed on the wall had me laughing as I sat eating my food, which was delicious. They give you fresh vegetables and mint to put in your bowl and have some good choices of meat too. Good little spot with nice family run atmosphere.
(4)Ashley M.
Fantastic food, atmosphere, & service can't go wrong here :)
(5)Audrey C.
I was super excited when I heard that there was a pho restaurant that would be opening in Downtown Littleton! I don't have a car and I was getting tired of having to commute semi far distances just to have a bowl of fresh pho. I first came here when it first opened and was satisfied with the pho. Everytime I go to get pho, I always get the same thing! A pho with brisket, tripe, and rare steak on the side. The broth isn't really anything special and it is a little pricey in comparison to most places with the little amount that you get. The amount of meats that you get is a decent amount, but I've definitely had more for a smaller price. Also, the amount of veggies that they bring for your pho really isn't much. The service here varies tremendously. One time when I had come, I had excellent service with a server who really seemed to know what they were doing. The most recent time that I had come here, the service was horrible! He was especially rude to my friend who had a question regarding summer and spring rolls. (They go by different names in Hawaii, which is where we are from). All in all, it's the closest pho available and I will probably go back but it is definitely not my preference. Pho 007, a little further up Littleton is a much better choice in my honest opinion.
(3)Pk H.
The pho here was better than those I previously tried. It is on the pricy side but that's everything in Colorado. The rice dish wasn't as good and a bit pricy.
(3)Cain J.
Tried this little gem over Xmas holiday, while visiting from California we stopped in and had the small beef pho, it was delicious, had the coconut water/juice and it came with the gel, was delicious, so good that I came back for take out the day after Xmas. The service was great and friendly My only complaint was that you had to ask about the different sizes of bowls they offer and the waiter points at other tables which I find uncomfortable. The Bowl sizes should be hanging up on a wall somewhere, so people can make a decision without disturbing others I'll be back next time in Colorado
(5)Michael H.
You know the world is shrinking when you can get pho on Main St. in Littleton. Had lunch here today and admired how clean and fresh this place looks. Service was friendly, prices rather high, but quality of the food was very good. We had a pork noodle bowl with a roll ($2 extra), homemade lime aid, pho with meatballs and brisket. Noodles bunched up in the bottom of the pho bowl, but taste was fine. Would return if we are in the area, but we won't make a special effort to eat here, as there are so many fine competitors at a bit lower price.
(3)Megan S.
Better pho to be had up federal... But it's nice to have pho real in town. Fresh and flavorful, just a little too white-washed version of pho for me.
(3)Paul H.
Terrific food and service, great location in downtown Littleton. I recommend the rice bowls, my fav in the area for sure.
(5)Matt A.
Very good pho. The place was clean and well maintained. Staff was very attentive a wait after order was almost none at all. Price was average and menu had a good selection
(4)Victor B.
I've visited Pho Real on a handful of occasions and have to say that I thoroughly enjoy this place. My girl and I started out with the spring rolls. We ordered pork however after receiving the rolls noticed that there was both pork and shrimp in each roll. Kind of unexpected but still decent nonetheless. On this visit (and on other visits...) I had the basic Pho bowl with white chicken meat. The flavors with the added Sriracha and Hoisin sauce was delicious. My girlfriend then suggested I add some of the chili sauce as well and that gave my bowl the extra kick it needed. I have to say I enjoy Pho no matter what but what prompted this visit was a spring time cold that I acquired and the chicken bowl with all of the spices and added veg seemed to do just the trick to help me kick the cold faster (thanks to my girl for the suggestion!). Although I will continue to visit Pho Real due to it's cordial staff, and lovely location in downtown Littleton (so quaint and enjoyable!) I will more than likely visit one of my girlfriend's Pho haunts next as she speaks very highly of them and I'm always down for a great bowl of Pho. But for this restaurant's sake....be sure to try Pho Real as they serve a nice basic bowl.
(4)Darrelle G.
I've been wanting to try this place. I really really liked it. I just read someone's review who said the portion size is small?? No way. The portion size is HUGE. I ordered a Medium and I should have ordered a Small (and I am a big eater). The pricing was very very reasonable (honestly they could charge more for how good it is). The wait staff was all very kind and attentive. We will be going back!
(4)Ariel K.
I'm confused by the review that complained about the portions, I ordered a 'regular' sized bowl, and it was HUGE. Very good, combo of meats, fresh add-ins of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos and more. I was stuffed and ended up leaving with a half liter container full to the top. Made a yummy lunch the next day. Nice service, very happy to explain each dish and how to mix it to your taste w/ lots of sauce options. The decor is a little sparse, and the wait staff can occasionally be hard to understand due to accent issues, but I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different in Littleton, this is a great addition to the old town dining scene.
(4)Robinson U.
The pho is good. The portion is not enough. I go to Pho restaurants a lot and this is by far the smallest LARGE SIZE Pho I have ever had. There wasn't a lot of meat either. I ate the whole thing including the broth and I felt like I could still eat another. Kid friendly place, but the portion of the kid's bowl was small too for the price. I ordered 2 kid's bowls. I could have ordered one Large adult bowl and split it to two and I would have gotten more noodles and meat for the same price. I ordered the noodle only kid's bowl. I may give it another shot only because I could practically walk there, but I will probably drive to my usual pho restaurant instead.
(3)Paul N.
Great addition to downtown Littleton. The portions are big for the bowl of Pho. Service was friendly and food came out fast and hot. Came back 2nd time to try their "bun" noodle and it was very tasty. Sauce not overwhelming. Great laid back atmosphere unlike the pho places on Federal.
(5)Heather P.
We have a new favorite pho restaurant. The decor is modern but friendly, staff is easy going & attentive, bathrooms are clean and the best part of the pho is delicious! Usually I expect to get tendons & other assorted meat when i order just brisket so I was pretty happy to see that this time I received really great cuts of brisket. I ordered the well-done brisket which was tasty & enough for me to share with my 2 year old who loved the broth, my husband got the brisket with meatballs, which was new for him & he really liked the meatballs, & we ordered a shrimp & noodle bowl for our 2 year old, the shrimp was also very good. Really nice that they do have a kids meal option Really great experience, we will come back.
(5)Nikki H.
I love this cute little place! We come here often for the Pho and every time we have the best service. I love all the servers here. They are very attentive and super sweet. Will keep coming back!
(5)Cheryl G.
The vegetarian pho bowl was better than I imagined, perfect blend of flavors and the tofu stayed firm. The medium size is more than two meals, so def worth the price. My boyfriend got the vegetarian rice dish- also very, very tasty - he's not a huge tofu fan, but he loved the consistency and flavor here. I will def come back for more veggie meals. Only complaint is that a nice cold beer would have gone great with dinner, but no liquor/beer here. Oh well ;)
(4)Geoff S.
I was excited to have a Vietnamese place so much closer than the ones on Federal. Family ordered Pho, eggrolls, and a combo noodle bowl. It was all fine, but unfortunately it's not anywhere near as good as the places on Federal. The service staff was friendly and the place was inviting. Might go back, but probably not. Still gotta hit Federal for the good stuff...
(3)Kimberley M.
The pho here is good, and my small size was the usual (large) amount of food that I have found at other Vietnamese restaurants. Everything was very fresh, as is expected for pho. The BIG turnoff came when I ordered the spring rolls aka Goi Cuon. Instead of the usual bright green leaf lettuce that normally comes wrapped inside with rice noodles, pork, and shrimp, it was shredded iceberg lettuce!!! No, no, no, people! This is not allowed! I have never seen this before and hope to never see it again. It made the whole spring roll a pale whitish color and the texture was off-putting as well. In addition, the shrimp and pork was shaved very thinly giving the appearance that they are trying to cut corners. I believe most people are willing to pay the price for good quality. This is a very new business and I want it to succeed. I hope the ownership changes this one thing to improve their product as soon as possible, as I work in the area and will be a repeat customer.
(3)Danika K.
Hands down....the BEST pho I've ever had. I had the rare steak and brisket pho. Phenomenal. The owner came out and talked to us and told us he uses his mothers recipe. The broth is made fresh daily. Service was fast and really friendly. Clean dining room. Great location right in downtown Littleton. Everything was perfect! I won't go to any other pho place around here now. I'm hooked!

Pho here is good. They're still waiting on their liquor license and I think some wall art... I will definitely be returning.
(3)Andrea B.
We went here for lunch for the first time. Nice atmosphere, good people watching on Main Street from the large windows, nice people, and, of course very good food. It's pretty typical of the many Pho's I've been too; the vermicelli bowl I had was very good.
(4)Scott M.
Great Pho! My family felt very welcome. We have a 2 yr old, a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old and the staff was very inviting and friendly. We will be back!

Went during Western Week. My daughter got this amazing Mango smoothie. I went in and ordered a strawberry smoothie to go. Bathrooms were really clean and accessible. I'm handicapped in a motorized chair. Review is based on smoothies alone and friendliness of service. They were very helpful and we found that our $3 smooth was very filling. Best smoothie I've had in a long time. Most of them are weak and to much ice.

I stopped in and placed a to go order. I ordered bun dac biet. I drove home (5 mins and 45 seconds) (I timed it). I started eating 3 minutes later. The food was stone cold. The noodles were so cold they felt refrigerated. The meat was nearly as cold. More cold than room temperature. Given my short drive, and the fact that I had the heater vent blasting on the bag, the food should have been warm. The egg roll wasn't made with the usual type of wrapper. It was that thin flaky Chinese spring roll type of wrapper. The fish sauce was bland. I asked for no rau (lettuce). Twice. I watched them write it on the ticket. I stood at the counter and watched them make my food in the back...they put lettuce in the bottom of the to go box. So I pointed it out to them...they denied, said that was someone else's order. Nevertheless I saw Sonny go back and make them start over...they had indeed put lettuce in my order. Very disappointed. Would love to have a great Vietnamese joint right on Main St.

All right another pho place in Littleton! We just had to try it and are glad we did. The pho is my favorite on this side of town (about 3 or 4 places in the Littleton area). The broth was quite tasty even my 7 and 4 year old liked it. We had the vegetable pho (my wife and I added meat in ours) and the portion of vegetable (carrots and broccoli) was very generous. THe service was great and very polite and friendly. We will certainly be back.
(4)Jayme W.
I never thought of Pho as being an interesting thing to watch a person eat... Apparently the folks at this joint can't get enough of it. As my cohorts and I attempted to enjoy our meal, we received an undying stink eye from a number of employees. We even tried the OK corral approach (that's where you stare back at the dagger shooter until they feel it awkward enough and stop tossing those eyeballs your way) and had no luck... This meal was about as awkward as catching your parents in the act of some Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore type Ghost love making. Next in our adventure, the good people of pho real put a sign up on the door indicating the place was CLOSED FOR PRIVATE PARTY. After that, it was all about making my party and I feel as unwelcome as a nasty case of the runs on a transcontinental flight. And finally... The price... Oh the price! They should rename this place Pho-rty Dollars!! The end

Went here to get boba, I'm a bit of a bobaholic and was very unimpressed. The tapioca balls were frozen and crumbly and flavorless. Wouldn't recommend which is sad because I live right nearby. Go to pho bowlevard if you want some deliciousness in the same area.
(1)Aaron J.
This place is nice and the soup is good. But the atmosphere isn't something that I enjoyed.
(3)Matt B.
I finally made it to this place. I tend to be a creature of habit and keep going to the same PHO place over and over. I think I found a new favorite. I like the atmosphere and the service was prompt. We started with the cheese wontons which were delicious. My girlfriend had the traditional PHO bowl while I had the pork fried rice. I left here looking forward to when I get to visit again.
(5)Rosemary H.
Want the best pho? CHECK OUT PHO 95. Guys, this is your competition and WORLDS BETTER in quality, flavor and service. Check my picture for proof. It speaks for itself. I live walking distance from Pho Real, and I will forever drive to Pho 95 now. P.S. To the owner of Pho Real, I know you are grumpy and are running a consistently slow business. HOWEVER, that is not an excuse to sit on your butt with your shoes off (gross and unprofessional) while your staff puts on a brave face. Thank you.
(1)Joe M.
We ordered the combo fried rice for take out. When we opened it, it contained virtually no beef, shrimp or chicken. What a joke! Over $11 for a container of rice.
(1)Karla S.
Great pho...great service. My 5 year old loved that she could order her own kid size bowl of pho. Would definitely come back!
(5)Alex C.
We had the real special plate. We had fun making spring rolls. Much harder than you'd think. The staff is truly Vietnamese so the food is authentic. The wait staff was attentive and kind. Prices are a bit higher but im sure the rent in downtown littleton is as well so I can understand. We will be back.
(4)Carol T.
My husband and I stopped in here for dinner b4 a movie I had the chicken bowl (first time having Pho - ever) & the medium was too much! I couldn't eat it all but could not take home due to the movie engagement. The broth was enhanced by the fresh jalapeño slices and bean sprouts & mint leaves. My husband had the grilled pork & white rice - fresh & tender pork. Also tried the coffee - delicious chocolaty iced coffee. The staff - Bin especially - were attentive and friendly. Great addition to the downtown Littleton food scene.
(4)Tim B.
I really like this place, especially the location - downtown Littleton. Had been wanting to try it for some time, so I dropped by with my wife and kids. The dining area is nice, clean, and contemporary. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. We started with the Vietnamese eggrolls. My son got a Pho bowl with seafood, while the rest of us got chicken. We all loved it - nice flavor, but not overdone. The portions were large, and the service was fast. Overall a great experience. You can tell these guys are putting effort into running their restaurant right. I highly recommend it.
(5)Spencer V.
Stopped here for lunch. Very quick and the bowls for pho are huge, definitely worth the price. I would recommend adding the double meat to your bowl.
(5)Sasha L.
My boyfriend and I came here last Friday night after an awesome workout sesh at the 24 hour nearby. We wanted something healthy and delicious, & pho sounded awesome! Upon entering, we were impressed with the decor of the place. Modern American, still with a Vietnamese feel. We were seated right away although this place was nearly packed. We ordered coconut shrimp to start, $8. I had the seafood pho, medium size, $8. My guy had the brisket & stead pho, medium size, with extra meat, $10. Our pho came out right away, literally within a couple minutes of ordering. and was served with sprouts, lime, and a couple jalapeno slices. We never got the coconut shrimp, and our server never came back to check on us so we weren't able to ask about it. The servings were very big! Next time I will probably get a small size, about $7. I couldn't even come close to finishing! I made the mistake of taking a bite of the raw jalapeno, ouch! It was extremely hot. I drank all of my water, and my dates. Our server didn't come around to refill our waters. Someone else eventually did and the fire in my mouth was finally put out. At 8pm I noticed they turned off their open sign. I think they should stay open until 9 on a Friday night because people kept coming in right up until closing. The food here was great, so was the atmosphere, and the value was there. We were bummed we never got our coconut shrimp, but then again, we had more than enough food and we were never charged for what didn't come. The service really needs some improving here. You don't just drop off your tables order and never return. We're definitely coming back soon!
(4)Chad R.
This is the jam, yo. Standout elements include: * A fantastic sign behind one of the server stations that read, in huge bold print, no cell phones, iPads, etc. in front of customers * Another fantastic sign above the back exit with something to the effect of "Go forth and follow your dreams," which left me thinking, "You know what? I will." And then she-beaux and I appropriated it as our toast * Gluten free soy sauce * Open kitchen (behind a big glass window, but I love they can stand behind what they do) * Biggest stinkin' TV ever, dominating the room and the view I destroyed the fried rice and she-beaux annihilated pho. It got the approval, and she-beaux knows pho.
(4)Val B.
I went here a few months ago and had a lovely experience. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was even better. I felt I was spending time with friends and family when interacting with the staff. Go eat there!
(5)Megan W.
Jason and I biked in the sweltering heat to Pho Real Saturday evening for date night. We are new to the neighborhood, and were ecstatic to find this little gem. The service was superb - seeing us crawl in drenched in sweat, the ice water was on the table in a flash. We both ordered cold noodle bowls - I had beef, Jason had shrimp - and they were amazing. Our waiter suggested apps, and favorite dishes for us. Everything we had was perfect. The shrimp were butterflied, seasoned, and grilled, and my steak was so perfectly seasoned and prepared I saved bites for the end. Pho Real is family friendly, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions were large. The food was so good, however that neither of us had leftovers. Jason and I were both singing the praises of Pho Real all weekend, and can't recommend this spot highly enough. We will certainly be putting it at the top of the regular rotation. Can't wait to go back!!
(5)Lesley A.
Super cute restaurant in downtown Littleton. We've been there twice and it seems to be digressing. The pho servings were pretty dismal. I ordered a medium sized pho chicken bowl. There was maybe a total of 1 oz of chicken in the bowl. The broth tasted like basic chicken stock - not a standard Vietnamese stock.
(2)Jamie D.
-9 outside and toasty warm inside (seriously it feels like the bench I am sitting on is heated) and I am savoring a veggie in beef broth (no tofu, extra veggies). It's the perfect wintery meal!
(5)Bonnie L.
FIRST TIME: We enjoy pho and after Hudson Gardens this sounded like the perfect family eatery. Pho Real has friendly efficient service but the food (NOT real) was not close to our usual pho experiences - much lettuce in the egg rolls??? My bun bowl was also full of lettuce w/tons of noodles which left little taste. Don't set on the side street area - everything the back door is open, which was often) FREEZING air flies across your food - also carrying hot bowls of soup past people at this area was dangerous. Won't don't need to return here.
(2)Rebecca H.
I can't stop thinking about Pho Real. The broth for their pho is incredibly craveable. I have been there twice now and wish that number was higher. Both times I ordered the general pho bowl with rare beef. The portions are quite large--even for a "small" bowl--and very affordable. Super friendly staff, very accommodating. Stop in on a cold, snowy day and you will find there is nothing more satisfying than their warm pho.
(4)Jenn B.
My husband grabbed take-out here the other night and we ate at home. I can't speak to the venue or service, so this one's just about the food. I did not like the seafood pho. I knew it was a long shot that it would be good, and sadly the seafood did nothing to exceed expectations. The shrimp was tasty, but the calamari was extremely chewy and not at all appetizing. The "crab" was only okay, better than the calamari but not good enough to eat all of it. Though the meat part of my meal was lacking, the actual pho broth and noodles were very good! I also loved all the fresh bean sprouts, lime, and basil. My companions, each of whom had gotten one of the beef offerings, really like their food too. So next time, I'm going to stick with my go-to pho, which is with the Vietnamese meatballs.
(3)Chelsea S.
After being greeted by a friendly face, we found a table. Nice, clean atmosphere and awesome customer service. The pho did not disappoint either, you can tell they use fresh, high quality ingredients. Will definitely venture back to Pho Real again! Thanks for the soup!
(5)Mark C.
Very friendly staff! Which brings a customer experience to a different level. Ordered the main dish that has every meat which I totally forgot what it is called. But it is very tasty and will for sure return. Parking lot it around the corner if you are lucky their will be vacant spots front of the store.
(5)Cale G.
Best pho I've had inside the beltway. Rich, flavorful, and aromatic broth really does the trick, especially on a cold/rainy day. Their boba tea is pretty good too. I really liked the Taro.
(5)Kirby L.
Ate a late night dinner here with a friend; it was our first time here. We both ordered a traditional pho bowl which was delicious as usual. When we wanted boba tea, our waiter, who was very friendly and helpful, recommended Thai tea with added boba. The tea was delicious but the boba were stale and frozen. The texture was horrible. I was so disappointed about that after not getting to have boba for the eight months prior. But overall I was very pleased with my meal, the quick service, and bubbly waiter. I would recommend to any pho lovers! (But bot boba tea lovers!)
(4)Terri B.
It's on the corner of Main and Prince street in downtown Littleton. One of my favorites is the soft shelled crab. They always have good mussels and shrimp Sonny, Vicky and Vy are very friendly and serve your meal very quickly. I'm bringing my friends down here on Friday.
(5)John C.
After living nearby for 10 months, Pho Real has quickly become one of our go-to places on any given night. Weeknights they have our take out ready in 10 minutes. Weekends- even during last nights criterium or other featuvals- there are always tables available. And the table service was reasonably fast (the owners' matriarch ensures quick service). Go ahead and look through the window to the kitchen where four or five people are tirelessly engaged for hours making Pho and keeping the place sparkling. The dishes are all well portioned (we only get the small sizes and the kids get kid sizes). My favorite is the traditional beef, with thinly sliced beef in an aromatic broth that gets texture by adding jalapeños, basil, and sprouts. The noodles come on a bed of lettuce with protein on top, but very little broth. The summer rolls are so fresh I swear they pick the vegetables in a back garden daily. Sauces are on every table to spice it up. That's what makes pho so appealing, right? You can mix and match based on your daily preferences. In pho reals case, they make everyone happy.
(5)Victoria W.
I have eaten at many pho places and have not encountered a pho place like Pho Real. Their Pho is clean, and by that I mean it's not heavy and full of grease! Portions are not huge, but you get enough to make your hunger stay at bay. Service is great, nice location, and good pho. The food is never a miss here. Thanks Pho Real for making a pho real delicious:) Pho Real!
(5)Mark S.
This place is awesome we had pho and it was done perfectly and NHU WAS a perfect host and made us feel very welcome there keep up the great work
(5)Brittany B.
Have to be honest: I hadn't even heard of Pho Real until my man told me about it. It's a bit further than I normally travel for my pho fix (though I suppose south Havana isn't exactly convenient to visit very often) but it did the trick. The ambiance reminds me of a Gordon Ramsey make over with clean, modern touches, pho-related quotes painted against a white back drop. Simple yet inviting. The broth is good. Not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. The pork spring rolls came out with shrimp in them as well, which was a nice surprise for me but might not be for any non-seafoodies. As for the main attraction: Plenty of noodles, a good amount of steak, and good amount of sprouts. My only real gripe was with the lime. It was missing. Likely due to the shortage the world is experiencing but the lemon that was served in its place was an alright substitute. Oh, and only two slices of jalapeno. Granted this was per plate & each person receives their own. And I didn't ask for any extra, so it musn't have been THAT big of a deal. Service was friendly, though yes, we did have to wait for water a bit but the food came out very quick. All in all, a good option if you're in the area. Not sure I'll seek it out but I definitely won't avoid it.
(3)Cheryl B.
Moving to the Denver area from the San Francisco Bay Area, it's important to find all the good local Asian restaurants! And I think Pho Real checks the box for good Vietnamese. The service was excellent, and very friendly. The food was delicious -- I had the seafood pho, my husband had the brisket pho. Both were very good. The noodles were a little stickier than I prefer when the food was first brought out, but less than halfway through the meal they had softened to the right consistency.
(4)JL S.
Awesome place. CHICKEN SOUP IS FANTASTIC! Veggies always fresh. We go here 2-3x per week. Service is always stellar and the Pho is fabulous!. We've tried several around town and like Pho Real BEST!. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Owner Sonny and servers Susan and V are our favorites!
(5)Barbara F.
Had coupon from Restaurant.com , which was not honored by the restaurant per a notice on the front door that indicated they were no longer accepting restaurant.com coupons. (I have contacted restaurant.com for a refund.) Very disappointing to say the least. Regarding the food: My husband and I both had Pho, and found the broth to be very bland (no where near as good as Pho Basil in Belmar (Lakewood)). That said, wait staff was very nice and the restaurant was clean.
(2)Angela L.
Stopped here for lunch with a friend who had heard good things about it. The restaurant did not disappoint. I had the small, generously portioned mixed seafood pho. It was very delicious and had a lot of seafood in it. My friend had the rare brisket and meatball pho and similarly raved. One of our waiters, Sonny, was very attentive and told us the menu items were family recipes. Will definitely come back for a return visit.
(4)Katie W.
Yummy, quick and inexpensive.
(4)Ruth C.
Nice, warm place to be in the well below 0 degree cold weather. Was honestly expecting more based on all the awesome reviews for it. It was kinda like going to a movie that everyone says you shouldn't miss, but when you go to see it, you realize that your expectations were too high. But...I did enjoy the pho and *loved* that the heater vents were below the booth seats. It felt like heated seats..like you have in your car but so much warmer and better in the restaurant. Service the night we were there was average. We ran out of water and it didn't get refilled til almost when we were leaving. I also felt like maybe someone went out on a short shopping spree with my credit card since it took them a bit to get it back to me ;). Folks were nice...and food was tasty...so I will be back to try it again for sure...
(3)Lindsey P.
Yum yu and more yum! This is the first time I've ever tried Pho and I can only say it's out of this world! We chose to sit at the bar and had such a great experience. The bar tender helped us pick out the perfect meal since we had no idea what we were doing. The ambiance is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the food is AMAZING!!!
(5)Wendy H.
I love this place and their location.
(5)Clement C.
Visited Denver not expecting to find a good Pho place but found a gem in Littleton. Great service, friendly atmosphere, clean and Pho very authentic. Will visit again next time I am in Denver.
(5)Emilia P.
My husband and I just moved back here from Seattle and are very familiar to the Vietnamese food. We came in last night and ordered the vegetarian pho and the Vietnamese meatball pho, I have to say it was OUTSTANDING food and even better service!! You will for sure see us again!
(5)Chris H.
Ok, if you don't like this place then you must be eating with the wrong part of your head. The broth is great, as is everything in it. It's better if you eat there, but I got mine to-go and was given tips on the best way to prepare it at home from the rad girl working (should've gotten her name...) and it was great at home. Eat here! (With your mouth)
(5)Tryna R.
Great location, fast service, amazing food. It's a step above most pho places- close to federal quality without the grimy ghetto feel. We tried a rice place, pork rice, cheese wontons and a mango boba. The sauces are all homemade and good. It was all yummy, our water glasses were always full too. It's pricier than most places and the quality makes it worth it. They don't really check back to see how everything is because they know you're good. The boba was in slabs and frozen solid- I was bummed I couldn't enjoy it, but the mango part was tasty. We'll be back soon!
(4)Kim Z.
Great food and hospitality! Ask the manager about pho and he will give you a vivid history of its origin and transformation with passion! Thanks for sharing your mom's cooking with the rest of us, 'Pho Real!!
(5)Marc A.
So, they fixed their lighting (much softer and a nicer ambiance) and the pho keeps getting better and better. Five stars!
(5)Leah M.
We went back to Pho Real on a noodle bowl hankering. I got a grilled steak noodle bowl, and it had rice noodles, peanuts, lettuce, and more. Although I am usually wary of sweet sauces, this was so light and so subtly sweet that I more than tolerated it- I enjoyed it. My husband and I both had leftovers and are excited for tomorrow's lunch. We ordered our meal to go, and as we waited, someone brought us water- a very thoughtful gesture. The lighting has apparently gotten a little better, which is another plus, but it still wouldn't hurt to be dimmed a little. So glad that this place is here!
(5)Dawn S.
My husband and I have made this our weekly ritual. I love the small vegetarian pho bowl with an order of the crispy spring rolls and my husband gets the beef! The servings are massive and loaded with flavor. I also get the root salad which is my new addiction! Love the service and the location.
(5)Kammie W.
I am sitting here slurping away as I write this on my phone. In Littleton from Denver and wanted to grab lunch while in area. I'm a pho crazed person and I had to stop in when I saw the sign. I'm a vegetarian and of course got the pho so that's the only dish I can comment on. I have a sinus infection and could still smell the aromatic broth when it was set down in front of me 3 min after I ordered it. Full of bite sized veggies and strips of tofu in a huuuuge bowl of aforementioned brothy goodness. A pet peeve of mine is getting any soup w huge chunks of veggies that would be barely edible as is on a side dish much less in a soup. +1 for me. The tofu is still fried so doesn't feel soggy or slimey as some can get. another +1. I'm pretty friggin happy about this bowl of pho so I'm surprised the reviews aren't more stellar. Prices are on point w authentic places on federal and little cheaper than downtown or fancier places. Super super quick service and my waiter was very nice and attentive. Only giving 4 stars since based on one-time-one-dish experience. My only worry is getting on the light rail w what i will guess to be a large amount of leftover pho. As I visit more I may adjust, hopefully up!
(4)Meredith C.
Never had boba before. Yum-ba. That stuff is weird and tasty! I enjoy it. As for the pho itself, it was pretty good. The service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. It wasn't anything too special - save the name OBVIOUSLY! A friend of mine I are thinking about opening some competition across the street and calling it "Pho Shizzle" and then maybe opening an Italian place next door called "Ma Rizzzle". Think Snoop would invest? Ah...the dreams we can dream.
(3)Christian M.
Awesome food!! Personal Service!!! Thank you
(5)Casey S.
I am ecstatic to have a pho restaurant on Main Street. The broth has excellent flavor and the portions are the usual size. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I dined alone for lunch and the waiter made sure I had everything I needed. The portions of vegetables they serve are a little small. But, if you ask for more they bring plenty. I've ordered the pho, the noodle bowl, and a few boba smoothies. All of them were very delicious. Try the avocado smoothie!
(4)Jon R.
Delicious bowl of pho. The broth was richer than the first time I tried it, shortly after they opened. A medium brisket and meatball was enough for a big appetite
(5)Nick G.
Hit all the marks in my book: -Great atmosphere and fun design (both menu and decals on wall). -Food was good and reasonably priced. -Service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. No complaints!
(5)Cain J.
Tried this little gem over Xmas holiday, while visiting from California we stopped in and had the small beef pho, it was delicious, had the coconut water/juice and it came with the gel, was delicious, so good that I came back for take out the day after Xmas. The service was great and friendly My only complaint was that you had to ask about the different sizes of bowls they offer and the waiter points at other tables which I find uncomfortable. The Bowl sizes should be hanging up on a wall somewhere, so people can make a decision without disturbing others I'll be back next time in Colorado
(5)Audrey C.
I was super excited when I heard that there was a pho restaurant that would be opening in Downtown Littleton! I don't have a car and I was getting tired of having to commute semi far distances just to have a bowl of fresh pho. I first came here when it first opened and was satisfied with the pho. Everytime I go to get pho, I always get the same thing! A pho with brisket, tripe, and rare steak on the side. The broth isn't really anything special and it is a little pricey in comparison to most places with the little amount that you get. The amount of meats that you get is a decent amount, but I've definitely had more for a smaller price. Also, the amount of veggies that they bring for your pho really isn't much. The service here varies tremendously. One time when I had come, I had excellent service with a server who really seemed to know what they were doing. The most recent time that I had come here, the service was horrible! He was especially rude to my friend who had a question regarding summer and spring rolls. (They go by different names in Hawaii, which is where we are from). All in all, it's the closest pho available and I will probably go back but it is definitely not my preference. Pho 007, a little further up Littleton is a much better choice in my honest opinion.
(3)Pk H.
The pho here was better than those I previously tried. It is on the pricy side but that's everything in Colorado. The rice dish wasn't as good and a bit pricy.
(3)Michael H.
You know the world is shrinking when you can get pho on Main St. in Littleton. Had lunch here today and admired how clean and fresh this place looks. Service was friendly, prices rather high, but quality of the food was very good. We had a pork noodle bowl with a roll ($2 extra), homemade lime aid, pho with meatballs and brisket. Noodles bunched up in the bottom of the pho bowl, but taste was fine. Would return if we are in the area, but we won't make a special effort to eat here, as there are so many fine competitors at a bit lower price.
(3)Megan S.
Better pho to be had up federal... But it's nice to have pho real in town. Fresh and flavorful, just a little too white-washed version of pho for me.
(3)Paul H.
Terrific food and service, great location in downtown Littleton. I recommend the rice bowls, my fav in the area for sure.
(5)Matt A.
Very good pho. The place was clean and well maintained. Staff was very attentive a wait after order was almost none at all. Price was average and menu had a good selection
(4)Victor B.
I've visited Pho Real on a handful of occasions and have to say that I thoroughly enjoy this place. My girl and I started out with the spring rolls. We ordered pork however after receiving the rolls noticed that there was both pork and shrimp in each roll. Kind of unexpected but still decent nonetheless. On this visit (and on other visits...) I had the basic Pho bowl with white chicken meat. The flavors with the added Sriracha and Hoisin sauce was delicious. My girlfriend then suggested I add some of the chili sauce as well and that gave my bowl the extra kick it needed. I have to say I enjoy Pho no matter what but what prompted this visit was a spring time cold that I acquired and the chicken bowl with all of the spices and added veg seemed to do just the trick to help me kick the cold faster (thanks to my girl for the suggestion!). Although I will continue to visit Pho Real due to it's cordial staff, and lovely location in downtown Littleton (so quaint and enjoyable!) I will more than likely visit one of my girlfriend's Pho haunts next as she speaks very highly of them and I'm always down for a great bowl of Pho. But for this restaurant's sake....be sure to try Pho Real as they serve a nice basic bowl.
(4)Darrelle G.
I've been wanting to try this place. I really really liked it. I just read someone's review who said the portion size is small?? No way. The portion size is HUGE. I ordered a Medium and I should have ordered a Small (and I am a big eater). The pricing was very very reasonable (honestly they could charge more for how good it is). The wait staff was all very kind and attentive. We will be going back!
(4)Ariel K.
I'm confused by the review that complained about the portions, I ordered a 'regular' sized bowl, and it was HUGE. Very good, combo of meats, fresh add-ins of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos and more. I was stuffed and ended up leaving with a half liter container full to the top. Made a yummy lunch the next day. Nice service, very happy to explain each dish and how to mix it to your taste w/ lots of sauce options. The decor is a little sparse, and the wait staff can occasionally be hard to understand due to accent issues, but I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different in Littleton, this is a great addition to the old town dining scene.
(4)Robinson U.
The pho is good. The portion is not enough. I go to Pho restaurants a lot and this is by far the smallest LARGE SIZE Pho I have ever had. There wasn't a lot of meat either. I ate the whole thing including the broth and I felt like I could still eat another. Kid friendly place, but the portion of the kid's bowl was small too for the price. I ordered 2 kid's bowls. I could have ordered one Large adult bowl and split it to two and I would have gotten more noodles and meat for the same price. I ordered the noodle only kid's bowl. I may give it another shot only because I could practically walk there, but I will probably drive to my usual pho restaurant instead.
(3)Paul N.
Great addition to downtown Littleton. The portions are big for the bowl of Pho. Service was friendly and food came out fast and hot. Came back 2nd time to try their "bun" noodle and it was very tasty. Sauce not overwhelming. Great laid back atmosphere unlike the pho places on Federal.
(5)Joseph B.
Had a medium bowl on a Saturday evening in January 2014 and was greeted as I entered. The clever sayings artfully displayed on the wall had me laughing as I sat eating my food, which was delicious. They give you fresh vegetables and mint to put in your bowl and have some good choices of meat too. Good little spot with nice family run atmosphere.
(4)Ashley M.
Fantastic food, atmosphere, & service can't go wrong here :)
(5)Heather P.
We have a new favorite pho restaurant. The decor is modern but friendly, staff is easy going & attentive, bathrooms are clean and the best part of the pho is delicious! Usually I expect to get tendons & other assorted meat when i order just brisket so I was pretty happy to see that this time I received really great cuts of brisket. I ordered the well-done brisket which was tasty & enough for me to share with my 2 year old who loved the broth, my husband got the brisket with meatballs, which was new for him & he really liked the meatballs, & we ordered a shrimp & noodle bowl for our 2 year old, the shrimp was also very good. Really nice that they do have a kids meal option Really great experience, we will come back.

I love this cute little place! We come here often for the Pho and every time we have the best service. I love all the servers here. They are very attentive and super sweet. Will keep coming back!

The vegetarian pho bowl was better than I imagined, perfect blend of flavors and the tofu stayed firm. The medium size is more than two meals, so def worth the price. My boyfriend got the vegetarian rice dish- also very, very tasty - he's not a huge tofu fan, but he loved the consistency and flavor here. I will def come back for more veggie meals. Only complaint is that a nice cold beer would have gone great with dinner, but no liquor/beer here. Oh well ;)

I was excited to have a Vietnamese place so much closer than the ones on Federal. Family ordered Pho, eggrolls, and a combo noodle bowl. It was all fine, but unfortunately it's not anywhere near as good as the places on Federal. The service staff was friendly and the place was inviting. Might go back, but probably not. Still gotta hit Federal for the good stuff...

The pho here is good, and my small size was the usual (large) amount of food that I have found at other Vietnamese restaurants. Everything was very fresh, as is expected for pho. The BIG turnoff came when I ordered the spring rolls aka Goi Cuon. Instead of the usual bright green leaf lettuce that normally comes wrapped inside with rice noodles, pork, and shrimp, it was shredded iceberg lettuce!!! No, no, no, people! This is not allowed! I have never seen this before and hope to never see it again. It made the whole spring roll a pale whitish color and the texture was off-putting as well. In addition, the shrimp and pork was shaved very thinly giving the appearance that they are trying to cut corners. I believe most people are willing to pay the price for good quality. This is a very new business and I want it to succeed. I hope the ownership changes this one thing to improve their product as soon as possible, as I work in the area and will be a repeat customer.

Hands down....the BEST pho I've ever had. I had the rare steak and brisket pho. Phenomenal. The owner came out and talked to us and told us he uses his mothers recipe. The broth is made fresh daily. Service was fast and really friendly. Clean dining room. Great location right in downtown Littleton. Everything was perfect! I won't go to any other pho place around here now. I'm hooked!

Pho here is good. They're still waiting on their liquor license and I think some wall art... I will definitely be returning.

We went here for lunch for the first time. Nice atmosphere, good people watching on Main Street from the large windows, nice people, and, of course very good food. It's pretty typical of the many Pho's I've been too; the vermicelli bowl I had was very good.

Great Pho! My family felt very welcome. We have a 2 yr old, a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old and the staff was very inviting and friendly. We will be back!

Went during Western Week. My daughter got this amazing Mango smoothie. I went in and ordered a strawberry smoothie to go. Bathrooms were really clean and accessible. I'm handicapped in a motorized chair. Review is based on smoothies alone and friendliness of service. They were very helpful and we found that our $3 smooth was very filling. Best smoothie I've had in a long time. Most of them are weak and to much ice.

I stopped in and placed a to go order. I ordered bun dac biet. I drove home (5 mins and 45 seconds) (I timed it). I started eating 3 minutes later. The food was stone cold. The noodles were so cold they felt refrigerated. The meat was nearly as cold. More cold than room temperature. Given my short drive, and the fact that I had the heater vent blasting on the bag, the food should have been warm. The egg roll wasn't made with the usual type of wrapper. It was that thin flaky Chinese spring roll type of wrapper. The fish sauce was bland. I asked for no rau (lettuce). Twice. I watched them write it on the ticket. I stood at the counter and watched them make my food in the back...they put lettuce in the bottom of the to go box. So I pointed it out to them...they denied, said that was someone else's order. Nevertheless I saw Sonny go back and make them start over...they had indeed put lettuce in my order. Very disappointed. Would love to have a great Vietnamese joint right on Main St.

All right another pho place in Littleton! We just had to try it and are glad we did. The pho is my favorite on this side of town (about 3 or 4 places in the Littleton area). The broth was quite tasty even my 7 and 4 year old liked it. We had the vegetable pho (my wife and I added meat in ours) and the portion of vegetable (carrots and broccoli) was very generous. THe service was great and very polite and friendly. We will certainly be back.

I never thought of Pho as being an interesting thing to watch a person eat... Apparently the folks at this joint can't get enough of it. As my cohorts and I attempted to enjoy our meal, we received an undying stink eye from a number of employees. We even tried the OK corral approach (that's where you stare back at the dagger shooter until they feel it awkward enough and stop tossing those eyeballs your way) and had no luck... This meal was about as awkward as catching your parents in the act of some Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore type Ghost love making. Next in our adventure, the good people of pho real put a sign up on the door indicating the place was CLOSED FOR PRIVATE PARTY. After that, it was all about making my party and I feel as unwelcome as a nasty case of the runs on a transcontinental flight. And finally... The price... Oh the price! They should rename this place Pho-rty Dollars!! The end

Went here to get boba, I'm a bit of a bobaholic and was very unimpressed. The tapioca balls were frozen and crumbly and flavorless. Wouldn't recommend which is sad because I live right nearby. Go to pho bowlevard if you want some deliciousness in the same area.

This place is nice and the soup is good. But the atmosphere isn't something that I enjoyed.
