Pho 66

This place replaces Pho 87, which used to have some great reviews. Here's hoping the new team brings it back to that level...

Remember when pho was actually exciting?  Now you can't walk two blocks in Denver without someone offering you a bowl of pho.  How bad is it?  Even Chinese restaurants are starting to add the word pho on their signs.  Don't get me wrong, I like myself a good bowl of pho, but after a while all the options just start to seem the same.  We've taken something that once was special and have turned into an open-sourced fast-food chain that has more locations in Denver than McDonalds (according to the fact checkers at Fox News).  You can walk into any location and know what is on the menu before looking at that menu.  This is great for convenience, but no bueno for excitement.  There are still a few transcendent options, but everything else is pretty much average.  All this to say, "Pho 66 serves pho.  It is decent.  The service is slow.  The end."  I could write you some bullshit about balance of flavor, doneness of noodles, broth purity, blah, blah.  Instead I'll tell you that it tastes like pho.  You know what I'm talking about.
