We ate here last night and we will be back! Two of us are vegan, and while there aren't many vegan choices, the ones they offer are great. I had pho in a veggie broth with tofu, my son had the veggie noodle bowl, and we shared two orders of tofu spring rolls (2 per order). They were fantastic! The veggies were super fresh. My daughter shared the sweet and sour chicken and an order of egg rolls with my grandson, and they liked it very much. The restaurant was very clean. The service was ok, but they had too few servers who at times were literally running to deliver orders---a minor inconvenience.

Disapointed. The waiter got our order wrong and tried to argue with us about it. We both ordered pho and it was lukewarm when served and a little greasy. No need to come back

Their broth is great, love their pho all across the board. They have vegetarian options, tons of mixed meat assortments. Also the location for me is super convenient. Appetizers are a little hit or miss, egg rolls great dumplings were just okay. Will definitely keep coming in.

They are located near Southlands movie theater in Aurora. They are now open daily and serve lunch from 11am -3pm and dinner from 3pm-9pm. They have lunch prices and dinner prices. I'm not sure if the portions are any different. I've been to the Centennial location on Smoky Hill Rd and the food is just as good. I ordered the Combination Rice Plate which had grilled shrimp, pork, chicken, beef, and a fried egg roll. It came out in less than 10 minutes. I really liked the dipping sauce that came out with the entree. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I grabbed a To Go menu on the way out and there are coupons on the back of the menu. I will be back.
This place is "okay". Not the best food or the best prices for the portion size, but they have good boba tea and they will serve it to you hot if you ask them to. I ms rather go to Mt. Fuji where I may pay a couple bucks more for a meal but I end up with nearly a meals worth leftover to take home.

We are regulars at the other Pho 97 down Smoky Hill and were excited to see that they were opening a new branch in Southlands. It is a shorter drive and it is convenient to movie theater and other shops in mall, which already makes it a winner. This one is a step up in terms of design. It is a really open, bright space with huge floor to ceiling windows, lots of booths & tables and what looks like what will be a full bar (it was empty day 1). They also have nicer glasses, cloth napkins and generally just a classier feel. That is all well and good, but when I go for Pho I am looking for a low key dinner, so all this is a little much for me - nice, but unneeded. But let's move on to the real reason we come, the Pho! Now, I am not sure if it was because they were just opening or what, but we got a free appetizer of pork egg rolls (that is my guess as to what they were), that were very good & super crisp. The Pho followed and the medium seemed like a good size bowl. The broth was flavorful and it was packed with noodles and meatballs (I go for the Pho Bien). Plus the herbs were very fresh and the basil was just huge! When we finished, they brought us out a couple of sesame balls. Now, it was all very nice, but the upscale place and extras seems to translate to extra $$. Heck, it was more expensive than Pho downtown! I mean we aren't talking huge money, but I would rather a simpler experience with the same old low prices. It has a super awesome location and really nice staff, so we will go back. Maybe it will grow on me - give it a try if you in Southlands!

This new Pho (opened today!) is now the closest Pho to my house so it would have really taken a lot from them for me to not want to come back. They are a 2nd store from the same people who own Pho 97 down the street off of Smoky Hill and Buckley and most of the staff look extremely familiar. The Pho itself tastes about the same and the rest of the experience is about what you'd get at the other one. What really threw me was that a medium bowl of Pho (which was $7.95 at the other Pho and about $7.75 at others) was $9 here. 9 big smackers. Seems really high for Pho to me. Since they are now the closest to me and not on the major intersection like the other one, I'll keep coming back (and probably complain about the price every time). Good pho, good service, good location, high prices. Guess you can't have everything.

After some initial difficulties with communication we went on to have an enjoyable lunch. This was our first time eating at a Pho 97. We have only tried one other Vietnamese restaurant before and the quality of food here was a bit higher. The dining room was clean and not loud. The spring rolls were interesting and tasty. We had never tried the Vietnamese version before and two would make a meal. The pho was a fair amount larger portions and the broth was much richer than what we used to get at the other place. We will definitely be returning.

I am so happy to have a nicer Pho restaurant close to my house at the New Southlands location. It is three doors down from the movie theater and kitty corner to where all the main events are held at the outdoor mall. Very bright, great seating and simplistic design is wonderful. I took my daughters (ages 6/7) in here for the first time and I wasn't sure how they'd like it. After I got them the combo platter (they shared one) and their drinks came out with some lovely little pink cakes, I thought my girls were going to giggle more than they ate. It was a great experience. I then went there with only one of my daughters for dinner and it was just a nice. (This time I actually got some of the cake). I am hoping to get in there a few times during the spring when things warm up and we can walk around after!

Barb L.
I probably wouldn't go out of my way to make it back here again but if I was at the mall and in the mood for Pho I would stop again. Food was good but honestly tasted like every other Pho place in town. Nice decor and the outdoor patio seating would be a great place in good weather. Service was on the slow side but not terrible and our server was nice. It was just sort of an A-OK experience. Nothing to brag on but nothing to complain about either.

Jason T.
Excellent Pho, the rice plates and banh mi sandwiches are great as well. Super friendly and quick service. Very nice and clean interior. Bathrooms are spotless and some of the cleanest I have ever seen at a restaurant. Highly recommend this Vietnamese restaurant if you are in the area.

Natalie H.
Compared to their sister location on Smoky Hill Road, this one pales in comparison. The prices are higher and the amount of meat/tofu is significantly smaller than what you get at the Pho 97 on Smoky Hill. Thanks but no thanks. I'll keep going to the one on Smoky Hill.

The Southlands now has Pho! My wife and I have visited twice and we will certainly come back. The portions are generous and they make a great fish sauce! Give them a try, they're worth it!

Pho 97 is overpriced, the broth is not flavorful, and service is sub par. This pho is much worse than the other ones in Aurora. Go to pho 75 on Parker and Quincy if you want some more authentic and reasonably priced pho.

I think this Pho is very nice. They have a vegetarian pho which is great. Quiet atmosphere and nice setting. So glad there is a pho closer to home. We were having to drive across town for a good pho before they moved in.

Tasty, but a couple of bucks more than their other location. Close to home, which is good on cold nights when a big bowl of pho is the best

Shawna S.
Best pho around. The homemade sweet and sour that comes with the crab and cheese won tons is to die for. We can't get enough.
I love this place. the portions are good and services are good. Occasionally the place throws in an appetite or dessert on the house. The reason for 4/5 stars is that the soup broth is 4/5 star. It could be just me or maybe just that time. or may improve over time.

Riris M.
Broth was okay. Not so flavorful. It's very pricey for not so good pho. I don't think I want to come back and recommend this place. I think they have same quality with the one in smoky hill. That's why I never return again.

This is the closest pho restaurant to my house and I've become quite a fan. The food is delicious, though as some other reviewers have pointed out, the service is lacking a little. It's a brand new location though, and they're still getting things situated, so I give them a little slack there. The food makes up for it though.....LOVE the noodle bowls. Yum!

If you like phö than stay away from this place! When I walked in the place was trashed. Literally every single table that wasn't taken was completely covered in dirty dishes. It was about 7pm so I thought. "Maybe they just got slammed and need a few minutes to clean up. Nope the lady cleaned off a booth for us, and we say there. Before I said anything I wanted to give them 5 minutes to clean around. My girlfriend and I say there waited for our food forever, it took a good 30 minutes after we ordered, and still they did nothing to clean the place. We ate the phö was ok but pretty mediocre to most. After being there for an hour which was way to long, the place and surrounding tables were still covered and dishes and not removed to the back to get cleaned. If there dining room is that dirty, I could not imagine what the kitchen looked like. I'll throw it a petty two stars but I was not impressed and would not recommend this place to anyone, no pride is taken in there food.

If you are headed to the Southlands outdoor mall movie theater, I highly recommend this restaurant (a stone's throw from the theater, to the east.) The meat in their pho bowl is delicious, as well as the meat (shrimp, steak, chicken & pork) in this mixed bowl I ate. Completely delicious!! The eggrolls are awesome and one came with my meal so I ordered 2 more. I think I could have eaten a few more also...they are medium sized, but OH SOO GOOD!! And the dipping sauce that comes with them makes them even more irresistible! The coffee boba is great, very smooth, I'm not sure if there's ice cream in it, but it was nice and creamy like a very smooth ice cream shake, not with chunky pieces of ice like you get in the Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappachino. Not too much coffee taste, either, the perfect blend of coffee taste plus chocolate. I am craving another one, as well as more egg rolls. I can't wait to go back here.

I have been to both of their locations on multiple occasions and feeling disappointed each time I'm Vietnamese and I know this is not how Pho is done. The broth doesn't have real beefy flavor more like a substitution of beef bouillon cubes. The broth is so salty and flavor less .Their Bun Bo Hue is a joke tastes nothing like It should be they didn't even use the right noodle for this spice soup. I feel like they cut cost for cheapest ingredients. Beef market has gone up 21% I would pay more for better broth. I live less than 5 minutes from S.Land mall and I will tell all my friends to drive further to Pho Vy in Parker & Arapahoe ( nothing to write home about but a least a bit better and just as close to home) I'll check back sometime in the future to see if they change their cheap ways. I want awesome pho in SL

Very delicious! Had the pho ga (chicken pho bowl) and it was amazing. Recommended to get the medium size, which I got, and was an excellent size for me. Loved the complimentary wontons and dumplings. The spring rolls were good as well. To finish off, we had a couple boba drinks which were delicious. Overall, great experience! Clean, great customer service, and fairly priced.

They are a little on the pricier side for pho but we were given free egg rolls and a Twinkie-like sponge cake for free to start the meal. The broth was good, not the best but still very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. The location is clean and modern looking. A good movie(x-men) was on tv but it was not loud or disturbing of conversation.

I have been extremely loyal to the Pho 97 in Littleton off of County Line. Until now. Finally found a pho restaurant that compares. I love the classy ambience...the staff is friendly. My daughter had the #2 Pho with rare steak and brisket (which of course I sampled - heck a medium bowl is big enough for two! ) Very tasty! I had the vegetarian tofu summer rolls. Delightful! I also had a hot vietnamese coffee. Scrumptious! The only thing they don't compare (imho) is the coffee boba. Littleton makes a more authentic stronger tasting blend...here they use some sort of chocolate flavored, milder tasting blend. again that's a personal preference...my daughter enjoyed it. We will definitely return!

Steve T.
Worst customer service I've ever had. Stopped in to test their boba green tea. The boba balls were under cooked. I talked to the host. He said that they were still cooking, that's why their hard. I asked him why he was even serving them. Got a very strange look. Asked him for my money back. Even stranger look. How dare I even ask - of course not! Last time I'll ever support this business! I should have poured the drink on the floor at that point. Instead, being polite, I left the drink on the counter. Hard to believe such arrogance! I'll never have a chance to try the food. Way to go Pho 97! Hope you 86 out the door!

Good Vegetarian Spring Rolls and massive. Friendly wait staff and nice place. My wife and are vegetarians so I can't comment on the beef broth but the vegetarian pho was one of the tastiest I've had. Finally a place in Southlands us crazy vegetables can eat at without editing every entree.

Jen R.
This place is fabulous! We are definitely regulars (about once a week, maybe twice if I'm lucky! And have been visiting since September 2013) and it's never less than short of delicious. It's always very clean and the staff are great! We use to go to the location on Smoky Hill and Buckley but the Southlands location is just right around the corner. Others have pointed out that it's a little more expensive but they make up for it with their big portions. The egg rolls are always fresh and you get three really big ones (I recommend using the condiments they bring out with them. Roll the egg roll in lettuce with cucumber and cilantro and some of the pickled carrots and dip it in the fish sauce. Heaven in my mouth! With the leftover fish sauce, I always put it in my pho. Yum!) I usually get the tofu and veggies; my husband gets the rare beef. Both bowls are treats! They bring tons of condiments and they are complimentary where as a lot of other places you have to pay extra. If you are looking for good pho, this is the place to go!

Went to Pho a few weeks ago with some girlfriends - We went at about 8pm, and perhaps that was the problem. However, I feel if you're open, you should provide decent service no matter the time of day. The service was terrible. And I don't use that word lightly. The server took forever to take our order, then disappeared for at least 15 minutes. Didn't refill our waters until asked. The spring rolls were good. That's about the only semi-positive thing from the entire evening.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Pho is phun, we usually always have a phantastic meal. Pho 97 was fine (phine?) for a quick pho fix. They seated us right away, service was fast. We really enjoyed the beef spring rolls. Broth was good, not amazing and not terrible. I will say that for the price (which isn't crazy, but probably more than other pho places) I would have expected more meat. Also, I like spicy food but beware the jalapeños! I dropped one in my soup and within seconds my soup was on the verge of being uncomfortably hot. My fiancé didn't even eat one...he just added aome sprouts that had been touching them and his soup was way too hot - he had the spicy sniffles and everything! I liked the ice tea, he said he doesn't recommend the Arnold Palmer as it was way too sweet. We would probably come back since we now live in the area, however, would come with the above thoughts in mind. Maybe it wasn't phab, but phair enough for a quick meal!

READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ I Love pho I mean I love it so when I found out there was one near me I was very happy. Me and my wife went there. At first it was good they were nice they gave us free entrée's and they always filled up my water. I was like we'll come here 2-3 times a week the more we came the worse it got. First the free stuff stopped which didn't bother me it was free what ever. Then they would seat us near the restroom where they hardly ever checked on us. After that a male waiter older brought us our tab and waited for me to pay when I wasn't finished eating he stood right next to me I payed and still tipped him 6$. Then this last time we sat down the same guy is our waiter keep in mind we come in 1-2 times a week and he walks up looks at us and doesn't ask us what we want. We tell him what we want and he takes forever bringing us our food meanwhile we hear some one gaging in the back room. He take our menus and my sisters phone is on hers and he pull her menu out from under her iPhone and it dropped on the table he didn't say sorry or even acknowledge what he did. He brought us our food our limes looked used and our utensils were dirty. We ask another waiter for some new limes and we tell her our problems so far. About 5 seconds later he comes and says "what your problem wit mee" I was shocked he confronted me like that so I tell him he flipped out got really loud and was like oooohhhhh mmmmyyyyyy goosshhh, and walks away so we get up and leave on our way out we tell the manager she says "sorry" and that's it! I'm so mad I wasted so much money at that place DON EAT HERE

Not too much coffee taste, either, the perfect blend of coffee taste plus chocolate. I am craving another one, as well as more egg rolls. I can't wait to go back here.

I have been to both of their locations on multiple occasions and feeling disappointed each time I'm Vietnamese and I know this is not how Pho is done. The broth doesn't have real beefy flavor more like a substitution of beef bouillon cubes. The broth is so salty and flavor less .Their Bun Bo Hue is a joke tastes nothing like It should be they didn't even use the right noodle for this spice soup. I feel like they cut cost for cheapest ingredients. Beef market has gone up 21% I would pay more for better broth. I live less than 5 minutes from S.Land mall and I will tell all my friends to drive further to Pho Vy in Parker & Arapahoe ( nothing to write home about but a least a bit better and just as close to home) I'll check back sometime in the future to see if they change their cheap ways. I want awesome pho in SL

Very delicious! Had the pho ga (chicken pho bowl) and it was amazing. Recommended to get the medium size, which I got, and was an excellent size for me. Loved the complimentary wontons and dumplings. The spring rolls were good as well. To finish off, we had a couple boba drinks which were delicious. Overall, great experience! Clean, great customer service, and fairly priced.

They are a little on the pricier side for pho but we were given free egg rolls and a Twinkie-like sponge cake for free to start the meal. The broth was good, not the best but still very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. The location is clean and modern looking. A good movie(x-men) was on tv but it was not loud or disturbing of conversation.

I have been extremely loyal to the Pho 97 in Littleton off of County Line. Until now. Finally found a pho restaurant that compares. I love the classy ambience...the staff is friendly. My daughter had the #2 Pho with rare steak and brisket (which of course I sampled - heck a medium bowl is big enough for two! ) Very tasty! I had the vegetarian tofu summer rolls. Delightful! I also had a hot vietnamese coffee. Scrumptious! The only thing they don't compare (imho) is the coffee boba. Littleton makes a more authentic stronger tasting blend...here they use some sort of chocolate flavored, milder tasting blend. again that's a personal preference...my daughter enjoyed it. We will definitely return!

Worst customer service I've ever had. Stopped in to test their boba green tea. The boba balls were under cooked. I talked to the host. He said that they were still cooking, that's why their hard. I asked him why he was even serving them. Got a very strange look. Asked him for my money back. Even stranger look. How dare I even ask - of course not! Last time I'll ever support this business! I should have poured the drink on the floor at that point. Instead, being polite, I left the drink on the counter. Hard to believe such arrogance! I'll never have a chance to try the food. Way to go Pho 97! Hope you 86 out the door!

Fast service and friendly. With out meal we got free lemon cakes and dumplings. It was delicious. The same owners that own the pho on smoky hill and Buckley own this one. We saw the same friendly faces we did at the one on smoky hill. The spring rolls are delicious!

Very good pho. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The menu is a bit confusing with sizes, but unlike what others have said you can get a small size. If you look at the menu is lists small on the other page.

Good Vegetarian Spring Rolls and massive. Friendly wait staff and nice place. My wife and are vegetarians so I can't comment on the beef broth but the vegetarian pho was one of the tastiest I've had. Finally a place in Southlands us crazy vegetables can eat at without editing every entree.

This place is fabulous! We are definitely regulars (about once a week, maybe twice if I'm lucky! And have been visiting since September 2013) and it's never less than short of delicious. It's always very clean and the staff are great! We use to go to the location on Smoky Hill and Buckley but the Southlands location is just right around the corner. Others have pointed out that it's a little more expensive but they make up for it with their big portions. The egg rolls are always fresh and you get three really big ones (I recommend using the condiments they bring out with them. Roll the egg roll in lettuce with cucumber and cilantro and some of the pickled carrots and dip it in the fish sauce. Heaven in my mouth! With the leftover fish sauce, I always put it in my pho. Yum!) I usually get the tofu and veggies; my husband gets the rare beef. Both bowls are treats! They bring tons of condiments and they are complimentary where as a lot of other places you have to pay extra. If you are looking for good pho, this is the place to go!

Very good noodle bowls... And the egg roll that came with it was yummy! I thought it was kind of expensive. Wait staff is mediocre. 2 noodle bowls, no drinks (because the girl forgot to bring them) - $25 before tip.

Like other reviewers mentioned a little pricier then some of the other pho restaurant but it's worth it. Pho was hot and tasty, good portions and the complimentary egg roll was great. Really clean with nice decor.glad I came here

Food was excellent and is priced great since any pho comes with an egg roll and a sesame ball. The spring rolls were awesome as well!

Went to Pho a few weeks ago with some girlfriends - We went at about 8pm, and perhaps that was the problem. However, I feel if you're open, you should provide decent service no matter the time of day. The service was terrible. And I don't use that word lightly. The server took forever to take our order, then disappeared for at least 15 minutes. Didn't refill our waters until asked. The spring rolls were good. That's about the only semi-positive thing from the entire evening.
