You would think that So-Cal would have better Pho than Colorado but that's not the case. Â If anything, I'm still in search of that one perfect Pho place in the Diamond Bar/Hacienda Heights area to prove me wrong. Â So far, haven't found it yet. Â Every single time I'm craving Pho, I'm always thinking of Pho 75, my all time favorite Pho spot.
My family and I used to go to Pho 79 on Mississippi every Sunday but after switching to Pho 75, it's been somewhat a permanent change. Â I still have love for Pho 79 if I'm in the area, but Pho 75 has more zest in their soup that I'd rather get their Pho instead. Â They're also quite attentive as far as getting your water and taking your orders. Â If you are regulars, like my family, they'll immediately remember the things you usually order. Â For example, my mom likes onions so at one point, the waiter immediately brought out extra onions without my mom having to ask him. Â
Some of the other dishes I have tried here are the egg roll appetizer, which are by far one of the best egg rolls I've had and the Bun Dac Biet, a rice noodle dish with grilled shrimp, marinated beef, veggies, and egg rolls.
All equally amazing. Â I can proudly say that I'm a fan of Pho 75!

I go to this place when I'm starting to feel a little under the weather. I always order a #2 which is steak meat with the broth but I've heard almost everything is great. The spring rolls with peanut sauce are amazing and also the boba drinks are very refreashing. The staff also pays attention to the customers. My glass of water was never empty and we're always seated promptly, even when they are busy, which is always.
Review Source:It's hard to find better pho around and I've tried.  My staple is the #8 I like to start out by simply enjoying the broth alone. The rich beef flavor and allspice mix on my palate creating that nourishing, aromatic elixir all pho lovers crave.  Underneath, a ball of rice noodles al dente, lie in wait intertwined like the lovers in a fairy tail.  Boats of freshness filled with refugee basil,  jalapeño, lime, mint, and sprouts, patiently await their refuge in the broth, bowls, and bellies of the happy Pho 75' customers.  Once you've tried the soup you become part of the family. Don't forget the grilled meats and of course the super spicy "Bim Bo Hue" (spelling?)  #KeepSlurping #Eee
Review Source:Pho 75 is the place to be if you want a decent bowl of pho. Â The "famous four" (Tu quy) at $29.95 is a large family style dish that contains grilled pork, grilled shrimp, deep fried shrimp paste, soft shell crab with assorted vegetables and lettuce. Â I recommend inviting 2 to 3 other friends to dig into this dish as you wrap up meats and veggies with rice paper and dipping it into the fish sauce. Â The meats are flavorful and the variety from this foursome keeps the taste buds from becoming bored. Â Hard to go wrong with that.
Recently revisited them and their specialty soups (Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu) wasn't as good as I remembered a few years back.
Of all of the pho places I've eaten at this has to be my favorite! Pho here is consistent - the broth is always rich and piping hot, the noodles perfectly cooked and the meat is fresh. The restaurant is not much in terms of ambiance but who cares when the pho is this good?? Again, definitely my favorite pho place of all times and cannot wait to eat her again the next time I'm in Colorado!
Review Source:This is by far my favorite Pho restaurant. Not just in Colorado. I've been coming here for years. Even back before it was Pho 75. I didn't know what good Pho was until Pho 75 took over the location. The broth is the best with rich flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Prices are cheap compared to some other places around. The servers are very nice and know my wife and I well. We go here at least once a week if we can help it.
Highly recommend this place. The Pho, bun rieu, and bun bo hue are our favs. Actually everything I've ever had was delicious. Try them out!
Oh and Pho is not Ramen. Not even close. It should never be compared to it.
I'll give this a place a 2 in winter and a 4 in spring and summer. Went here in the winter couple times it feels like they don't have heat. It's very uncomfortable to eat pho in a heavy winter coat. Sister and I were debating on what to eat so we decided here. The broth was AMAZING! It has never tasted that good. So their broth isn't consistent which is a shame. Ordered spring rolls tasted old and peanut sauce was runny and watery. Smh
Review Source:I have went to this pho shop quite a few times but havent been there for almost a year. I was suprised that they raised prices and when ordered the egg rolls they cut down the amount but raised the price. The service was same as always but even the person I was with stated that they will never go there again as it didnt taste as good as the past times.
Review Source:Roomy pho restaurant. Lots of seating. Small pho starts @ $6. Not really a fan of the lighting at this place.... kind of hospital feel like but meh I'm here to eat pho.
Solid broth, generous portion of meat. Mah date kept saying "too much meat too much meat" so I'm guessing that's a good thing.
My vege pho came packed with veges including bok choy and I love bok choy. They will ask on their own what broth you want and that is a plus imo considering some places will just give you beef broth if you dont say anything.
Vietnamese egg rolls with the fish sauce were awesome. I love wrapping those things in the crisp lettuce.
I go to Pho 75 at least 2-4 times a week. Â The main reason that I love about Pho 75 is there soup that they server with there noodle bowls. Â I have tried pretty much a lot of soups around the city and still found myself at Pho 75. Â Recently, the service has changed because they have a new server that has a more welcoming feel and in which in turn made the other servers be kinder and funner to talk to.
I also like how they have specials that could make it on there menu. Â A couple of years ago, I can't remember when it was, they had a pho seafood bowl that was on special. Â It was in one size and it had a lot of seafood items: shrimp, crab (meat and a claw), scallop, and squid. Â Now, it is on the menu without the scallop and it is one of my favorites items on the menu. Â During the summer, they had a similar bowl, but with egg noodles. Â It wasn't that popular with customers I am guessing, so it did not make on the menu.
I usually work all day and for lunch, I can travel from where I work to the restaurant and back to work without a problem.
I'm very picky when it comes to pho because I constantly compare it to ramen. I really am obsessed with the broth. The broth always has to be PERFECT for me, or it ruins the whole soup!! duh! Anyways, this place is just OK, I use that word a lot. But this place is just OK. It's not bad or fabulous, but I feel like the flavor is kind of forgettable. I only really go here because I live right by this place. So it's convenient. I usually get the number 6 small. The meat is pretty good. The noodles aren't hard and they give a good amount which is nice. The onions are good, but one thing that makes this thing just okay, once again, its the broth! Sure I will go here again, when I feel like pho, but I need to start finding a pho joint that will make me remember how great pho is!
Review Source:Personally, I love this Pho place. I often hear mixed opinions of the restaurant, but I have no complaints myself.
The restaurant is pretty large in size, especially for a Pho restaurant. The weekends and evenings are usually pretty busy, just not jam packed. The waiters are always very nice and quick at taking orders and having water out.
I love the Pho as it always arrives hot and there's enough noodles in meat to fill my hunger and satisfy my Pho fix.
Something else I LOVE from here is the Bun Rieu! A huge bowl for an affordable price, very authentic flavor as well. I would advise not to buy it when the place is about to close because it gets a bit salty.
I also usually order the egg roll appetizer; their egg rolls are delicious (my favorite, actually)! It comes with four egg rolls, lettuce, fish sauce, and various vegetables.
Hands down my favorite Pho place in Aurora!
This is an unbiased review, even though I know the owner personally. Â We go here at least twice a week for our pho fix. Â Consistently good pho and decent selection of rice dishes. Â My favorite dish here would be the Bun Bo Hue or Hue style beef noodle soup. Â This dish is spicy and aromatic, with a mix of beef, pork feet, and congeled pork's blood. Â OK, sounds gross, but very yummy.
Another can't go wrong dish are the combination wraps - a mix of soft shell crab, lemon grass grilled beef and pork, as well as a fried shrimp and a fried shrimp paste. Â This all comes with rice noodles, veggies and rice paper to make wraps with. Â All of this for $24 or something like that, plus tip, around $30, but this can feed 5 people easily, possibly six. Â We always have food to take home with only 4 people.
Over the numerous times I have been here, the food and service haven't been consistent. Â Some days are great and others are just so-so. Â This last time the food wasn't good. Â The spring rolls were stale and the pho broth was severely underseasoned. Â To top it off we got our bubble drinks (the bubbles were warm in a cold shake = gross) after being basically finished with meal.
Review Source:My first impression is, "When a restaurant owner names a pho place, does the number mean anything? 75, 95, 54...I'm curious, if anyone knows please tell me."
Okay I'll admit it, so I walked into Pho 75 thinking it was Pho 95, which had raving reviews and I just had to try it out while I was in CO Springs. But to my own disappointment I got the numbers confused and I walked into Pho 75 instead. I knew the front of the restaurant didn't match the picture in my head! But oh well, we were there so we tried. it.
They seated us quick, and the service was good considering it was pretty packed the night we went. The waiter took our order as soon as we sat down. The prices were decent, but the portions were pretty big. In my party we had both the smallest and the biggest size and fullness wise both people went home stuffed.
From my experience with Vietnamese food (and correct me if I'm wrong), most pho places I've tried call the crispy, small, egg rolls "spring rolls," and the wrap with lettuce and shrimp "summer rolls." Here, the egg rolls are called egg rolls, and the other wrap thing is a spring roll so when I refer to it don't get confused because I did at the restaurant.
Either way, we ordered both, and the "spring roll," was a bit spicy because they stuff the center of it with cilantro and some other types of leaves. I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Added a slight bitter taste to it, and there wasn't enough shrimp in it so it was just like biting into a lettuce wrap. The "egg roll," was really good and crispy overall.
The broth in the pho was satisfying because it wasn't too salty nor oily like some of the bad I've had in the past. The quality of the meat wasn't too bad, and the server was good on accommodating what everyone needed for their soup ingredients.
The lasting impression? "Overall, good broth but not impressive. Someone tell me what the numbers mean! Or do they mean nothing?!"

Thanks Thomas S! :
Hi Julie,
The Pho # is usually a number significant to the owner, most commonly the year they arrived in the U.S., which is why you see a lot of Pho 75, 77, 79, and other numbers greater than 75. Â Sometimes, it is just a lucky number like Pho 555.
So this was one of my hardest 3 star ratings to hand out, after being leary of this place from the spitting incident awhile back I had some lady friends want to meet up there so I rode to the hood to eat some pho, surprisingly it was much better then I remembered and they were really generous with the amount meat and noodles. Â Â So now for the negative part of my review so food can take a place far but only as far as the customer service and attention to detail to the patrons order, right? Well I ordered a "pho dac biet" (combination) with my tai on the side with a bowl of onions and vinegar. Well I didn't get my tai on the side it was in there whoopie I'll let it go, but where was my onions and vinegar? So I asked again and got a small dish that had some vinegar spooned onto it I assume, so really I got onions that someone spilled vinegar on so on my order missed 2 for 2 for my very simple special orders, now my friend wanted one of the boba drinks but is not a fan of the actual boba so she said "no boba please" well like the plot of a nancy drew mystery, her drink mysteriously came with boba!!! So special request were all out the window! Â Â Â But a bonus to this place is not only do thay have kiwi boba! There right next to a Pleasures, so after you get your pho on you can walk next door and get something to help you get your freak on! Nice!!!
Review Source:Housed in a strip mall with glass tables and simple decor this Vietnamese spot specializes in Pho...as the name suggests. So, how is the Pho? Pretty good, actually...especially for the price. A small Pho bowl has plenty of food and will set you back a mere $7. And that includes all the bean sprouts you could ever eat.
The menu isn't large but, they do have some non-pho and vegetarian selections. This is a good place for lunch. Service was ok and the coffee and tea selections(specifically the filtered espresso with condensed milk you get to pour yourself) were tasty. I wouldn't go here on date but, taking your coworkers here for lunch will definitely result in you getting an upgraded present in your office secret Santa.
New to the area I was hunkering for some pho. Stopped in here and it was like being back in Downtown L.A. The clientele is mostly Vietnamese with a few brave souls who have ventured in. Â The broth is good and as mentioned in other posts, the meat could be better. Â I don't really go to pho restaurants for any of the foods so I can't speak on the behalf of the rest of the menu. Â But can you really complain about paying less than $10 for a hot steaming bowl of deliciousness on a cold day? Â I don't think so.
Review Source:This was one of the BEST Pho that I ever had! The bowl was so gigantic in which you get your money's worth. The fried egg rolls was also to die for and their sauce is different but the best than what others usually serve it with.
Why can't we get this type of quality in Vegas?
5 stars for the food, service and great company!!!
Okay. So after living in Denver for about 6 months now, I've learned a few shady SHADY things about Pho 75. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY, YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION. This is serious top notch gossip.
Pho 75 was involved in a scandal a few years ago. 2-3 years back, a Korean customer was passing by to go the restroom, as you know, there is a window where you can see the kitchen. The customer saw one of the staff members (either waiter or chef) SPITTING ON THE FOOD!!! Yea. he or she confronted the manager, and the manage instead of apologizing, actually got mad at the customer. So the customer left the restaurant like any civil person would do. Now, of course that Korean customer would not go out quietly. in very little time, the entire Korean community knew about that incident and started to boycott Pho 75. That was too bad for the management, because Koreans happened to represent a very large portion of their customer base at the time (i heard it was somewhere close to 70%). Losing the Korean customer base meant bad bad bad business.... The funny thing is that they put an advertisement on the KOREAN NEWSPAPER essentially apologizing for the incident and offering an additional 15% discount for whoever was Korean in a lame attempt to gain back their lost customer base.
Yeah. To this day their mistakes will haunt their business. Therefore, let that be a lesson to yall... "don't spit in people's food... be nicer to the customers."
I used to have Pho 75 ranked as the second best pho in Denver. Now, I'll place it last.
As Vince Clarke once said to David Gahan, I just can't get enough - of Pho 75 that is!
Their Sinh To (fruit smoothies) are the best. I especially recommend the juicy Mit (jackfruit), sugary Mang Cau (soursop) and, of course, the notorious Sau Rieng (durian). I am a huge durian fan and find myself often singing the praises of this admittedly noxious-smelling fruit. At times I have even been known to "accidentally" order the durian smoothie just to annoy my dining companions. But if anything will convert you to being a fan of this fruit, it's Pho 75's smoothie.
Food you say? I was just getting to that thank you. I like the deeply spicy Bun Bo Hue (central Vietnamese beef, blood and offal noodle soup in a lemongrass broth served with shrimp/chili paste). This bold beefy broth is even better with the sawtooth herb, perilla and shredded banana blossom that come alongside. Their rice plates, like Com Suon Bi (with a moist pork chop and squishy shredded pork skin) and Com Ga Dai (bone-in free-range black chicken, or as the menu calls it, "special chicken") are also winners.
So what are you waiting for? Get down there and see for yourself.
I just noticed this place recently as it is kind of tucked away in a strip mall. Â Seeing as how it is crap-tasticly snowing and cold out today, I thought pho would be a wonderful choice for lunch.
I strolled in and got a to-go order, a #2 (steak pho) to be exact. Â The man at the counter was kind of grouchy, but they were super busy so I let it slide. Â Just about every table in the place was taken and the waiters where constantly in & out of the kitchen with giant bowls of pho goodness! Â It also smelled so very good in there! Â I was getting hungrier by the minute while I waited!
My take out order didn't take too long. Â Maybe about 5 minutes. Â But it wasn't packed very well. Â The bowl of broth crushed the container with the veggies, meat & noodles in it and the broth kept falling over. Â I just took the broth out when I got to my car and put it in my cup holder.
When I got back to my office and un-packed everything, as per usual, as with EVERY freakin' pho place I get take out from, the bowl is so full of broth that there is no room to add anything! Â Why can't these places put the same amount of broth in a larger bowl?!?!? Â I'm just sayin!!! Â The chopsticks they gave me were also warped which made them very hard to eat with and the little plastic spoon was a joke. Â I actually have sores on either side of my top lip from the somewhat sharp edge of the spoon rubbing on it.
Anyway, down to the food, which is the point of my ramblings here. Â It was hands down, the best pho I've had so far. Â The broth was so flavorful and I was super impressed! Â It just sucked having to suck down broth, add some ingredients, then suck down more broth, add more ingredients, and so on.
On a side note, they don't deliver. Â I asked. Â However, I will DEFINITELY be back again! Â Maybe I just need a giant bowl, chopsticks and a big spoon to keep at my office? Â Nice job, Pho 75!
This is the best pho I've had outside of Boston's Chinatown. Â That means a lot to me as that's the bar with which I judge all pho.
That being said I spent some time on the phone and with Yelp looking desperately for a pho place in A-town that served vegetarian pho. Â Not in the "oh we took the chicken out" way but in the legit, veggie broth way. Â After three calls I happened upon Pho 75. Â After questioning them "you have vegetable broth?" Â "Yes." Â "Like made with vegetables and not chicken?" Â "Yes" Â So off I went. Â
It's in a strip mall (what isn't?) and the interior wastes no time with frills but looks are deceiving. Â The choices for pho were plentiful and they offer pho in three sizes all for a reasonable price. Â Foolishly I ordered the large to go. Jesus H. Â I got the beast home and opened the bag to set things up. Â One giant container of broth and a to-go plate STUFFED with noodles, veggies, and herbs. Â Holy sh!t is the only way to properly sum up the reaction to this and I picked it all up for around $7. Â Crazy.
The flavors are spot-on, subtle yet flavorful allowing the other bits to shine. Â Veggies were plentiful and crisp even after transport. Â Well played. I'm really going to have to fight the urge to eat here for the rest of my trip.
Hooray for Pho 75!
-----
Note: I did eat here twice in two days. Â So. Effing. Good.
I had the seafood Pho and it was delicious. I also had lost 1.5 pounds by the next morning even though I stuffed myself. And they sell yummy gummy candy and bamboo at the front. The decor sucks, but it is a Pho restaurant so that was expected. I'll dock half a star for the vibe, and half a star for being in Aurora. But I will go back if given the chance.
Review Source:Pho 75 is good, but it is not for the xenophobic. Â The atmosphere is beyond no-frills, with fluorescent overhead lighting, paneled ceiling, white floors, white walls, and sparse decorations. Â There are always a couple of televisions playing sports in the room. Â The lack of distractions allows for one to focus on what really matters - the pho. Â The menu is a little shorter than others, though you can always create your own combos. Â The bowls come packed with noodles and meat. Â The broth is quite good, possibly the best in Aurora. Â My main complaint was that some of my cuts of meat were overly chewy. Â That and the fact that the room is actually quite hideous. Â But this place overall gets the thumbs up and is worth a visit if you ever find yourself in this neighborhood.
Review Source:I don't get it. I'm sorry; I can't get on board with the Pho movement. Being as this was my first experience, I can't say that I know what I am doing as far as this stuff is concerned. Alas, I offer a newbie perspective. The place was really busy when I went, so it must be popular. The service, for the amount of people in the restaurant was decent; these guys were running from table to table the whole time I was there. The place smelled funny and the bathrooms were a little grimy, which sort of made me worry about the cleanliness of the kitchen. The food tasted okay, from the looks of it this stuff is really what you make of it. If you add the wrong things to your bowl, you will likely be unhappy. The bowls are very large, and even with a small I was surprised by the size. Still, for the price... I just don't understand how some rice noodles, broth and a few pieces of meat are worth it; perhaps I'm just clueless.
Why is everyone making a big deal out of this stuff? At this point I am kind of wishing I hadn't eaten it; not because it was bad but because I don't think it's worth smelling like Pho all day after the fact. Anyways, it was nice that they have other options on the menu here if you aren't in the mood for Pho. I certainly wouldn't recommend bring someone here who isn't adventurous when it comes to food, they will be very unhappy. The staff was very pleasant despite my indecisiveness and changing/adding to my order. Next time I'll save my $15 and go some place less faddy. Not a good date place.
Just went here and got a Medium Pho` w/ sliced beef. Place had 10 or 15 ppl inside when I got there. Decor was pretty standard strip mall fare, was greeted immediately and directed to take out.
Service was quick (took maybe 8 to 10 min max to get food) and the employees polite, they asked if I wanted a beverage while I waited which was nice.
Got back to the office and checked it out. First off, the broth smelled wonderful, a  very complex aroma that said lets get this ready. Portions were good for the size I ordered and everything was fresh. All said and done, pretty tasty, I will go back again for a another bowl
Veggie plate: Fresh. Healthy. Sprouty.
Service: Quick. Efficient.
Pho Broth: Hot. Fragrant. Sweet. Complex. Deep.
Pho Meats: Steak, tender. Tendons soft and tendony. Meat balls, ballsy.
Pho Noodles: al dente and noodley.
Pho at Pho 75: This place must supply the heavens with holy water, on earth we call it pho. I think angels must use this as bath water. Say a prayer and thank the universe for the pho, you will be a better person for worshipping the blessed pho.
Pho 75 has improved a lot over the years, I really think people should give it a chance. Â It's definitely my favorite pho place in Aurora (not Denver though). Â It has friendlier service than the surrounding pho places. Â It has decent Vietnamese food and a variety so that if you have a few people that want different things you can go there and not fuss about it. Â Their best menu item is BUN BO HUE!!! Â Best bun bo hue around for sure, pho is decent, but hit or miss depending on the day. Â
They have have bun rieu on the special's menu that is a must try, definitely worth it... better than the pho. Â They also have added the fried fish and special plate/"tu-quy" with rice paper. Â It may seem expensive but feed 4-5 people! Â There's been a big turn over with the staff in the past few months which have caused a lot of delay in orders and mistakes. Â Definitely very annoying, but I'm hoping they get their act together soon.
I've had Pho in many restaurants in Denver/Aurora/Boulder, but this is probably the best place. Â The Pho is always hot and they load you up on everything- noodles, side veggies, choice of meat. Â And their broth seems to be much more flavorful than others. Â In addition, they also offer other (non-Pho) dishes of which I tried a couple (combo rice noodle bowl and the pork chops) and were really good. Â If you're craving good Pho and/or good Vietnamese food, this is the spot!
Review Source:The pho is ok i guess, its really hit or miss with this place. Â Sometimes its too greasy but other times it can be just right. Â I may sound like Goldielocks, but I know good pho. Â The service isn't so great either. Â I think that only 30 percent of the times I've been there, the service was good...
