Golden Saigon

Been going for years and I love Twan and wait staff are super friendly! All there food is smack yo mama good and don’t forget to ask about their moist cake for dessert! You get a great atmosphere, sake shots & amazing food, whatever you order, good times and a party in your mouth! #whoopwhoop #phoKingAwesome HEHE

Had to try a new place today, and I have to say not to shabby the restaurant comes across as a old Irish pub but other then that the food was good. I had the family with me so we tried a variety of plates like Spring rolls, Mongolian beef, Fried dumplings, Curry pork andCrab asparagus soup. I was Second-​guessing the soup but it wasn’t bad and the curry was really good! Oh and all of this for $ 30.10, so if you are looking for something new to try check this place out!

There needs to be a 10 star rating system for this place! Their food: the absolute best. Their service: unmatched. The cute waitress Van:… The lifeblood of the establishment.
This is the only phở place we go to… And if we go somewhere else because their closed… We feel like we’re cheating on them. They’re very warm and attentive and make sure that you’re taken care of… Especially when they recognize you as a regular.
Authentic phở, (you can tell by the broth)… Hand rolled spring rolls… Perfectly fried fish… The list goes on.
Come. Eat. And you’ll be writing your own rave.

This place has become mine and a good friend of mines favorite place to eat lunch. The sushi is amazing! My girl friend can not have vinegar because she is allergic and they never give her a problem or attitude when we ask to have the food with no vinegar! The staff is very nice and the place is always very clean!

Wow… Wow…Wow!!! This place was exceptional and deserves ten stars, not jut 5! The phở was exceptional and so was our service, it looks like a little hole in the wall but it makes up for in taste and service. We highly recommend this place and will be returning very soon!

It saddens me having to give only two stars for this review but frankly, the service I received today deserves one star, if that.
i’m a long time customer at Golden Saigon and over the years, I have enjoyed friendly staff and good, reasonably-​priced food. But the quality of food seem to have nose-​dived recently. The food are just not as good as they used to be, although given the price, maybe they are okay for what it is, that is, cheap Asian food.
But what appalls me most was how unfriendly and rude the staff have become. They seem to be way-​understaffed so I understand that service can be a bit lacking. But no matter how understaffed and busy they may be, they shouldn’t have rude and condescending attitude toward the very customers they are serving. But sadly, that seems to be the case. While one particular waitress was extremely rude and never fulfilled my order, I blame the management for letting the quality slip and running the restaurant understaffed as to make everyone miserable.
I don’t plan to visit the Golden Saigon anytime soon and I would advise that if you must go, try to avoid busy time cuz they would really hate you for making them busy…

Amazing food and great staff! I stumbled upon this place to take my mom out whom was visiting from out of town. It had great reviews, so I figured, hey, let’s try it and I’m very glad I did! The food is delicious: I’ve tried a lot of the dishes on their menu and have consistently enjoyed them. They occasionally bring out free appetizers or dessert which is always appreciated and delicious! Definitely a must try if you’re craving Vietnamese food and are in the Aurora area!

Amazing Vietnamese! I stoped in for lunch and was pleased to find the restaurant was large with many guests. Portions are generous and flavors Devine. I had the asparagus and crab meat soup to start, Followed by com dac biet. Will definitely be back to explore more menu items.

our visit to this location during lunch rush was met with frustrated waitress who was venting out at the customer,. (me) for lack of help. not good. I could have called names and give one star rating but since I have too many eyes following this review, better not. staying at two star and no name calling till next time
sat down, waited good 5 minutes or more before the owner’s daughter (?) came by with water. I expressed lack of time during the limited lunch hours and she rebutted with how short of help she has, in a way that was rude.
1. service: very slow. avoid this place during lunch hours if you have limited time.
2. phở: was very good. great broth. noodle was bit off.
3. other menu items: make your own spring roll and also seafood hot pot looked very appetizing
4. return visit: yes. I am gonna try the hot pots.
5. seats were torn and taped it over. not good.
with 4.5 star rating as I write this short review, they must be good. definitely not at controlling ones emotion.
what do you think J?

Always satisfied when I come here. I think some dishes are better than others though.
I ventured to try the lemon grass tofu today and I wasn’t happy with my order. The veggies were undercooked. The green beans and the brussel sprouts were practically raw. However, I do like the variety of veggies that come with the dish. Everything from bok choi, asparsgus, zucchini, bell pepper, green beans, and onions. Also, the dish is marked as spicy, but it wasn’t spicy at all. More salty if anything.
We also ordered the combination phở, beef phở, and Vietnamese egg rolls. The egg rolls were delicious as always. My mom was disappointed with the combination phở. It was primarily beef and brisket. She was hoping for tripe, tendons, and more meatball. Very Americanized phở.

This place had a good amount of peeps. I was in and out in in about 20 – 30 mins. I ordered steamed dumplings. Really good portion for 4.95. And a small chicken phở noodle bowl. They gave very generous amounts… a lot of condiments — cilantro, bean sprouts, tons of basil, jalapeño slices, limes, and some tasty broth with sliced white onion, green onion. The Chicken was good. I would recommend it, especially for the price.

I have a pretty high standard for Vietnamese cuisine. It is one of my favorites and I would gladly replace this with my mexican cuisine for the rest of my life. There are a few Vietnamese places that I consider a 5 star. This place is definitely one of them. The staff was welcoming and nice and really took care of us. The spring rolls were perfect. I am very picky when it comes to spring rolls as I like mine to be soft, flavorful and rolled up tightly. My combination vermicelli was on point and the complimentary Vietnamese eggrolls made me want to cry! The phở was out of this world! What else can I say? This place is muy delicioso and if I knew how to speak Vietnamese I would say it too!

Soooooooo the reviews are so great and I came here for lunch with a friend and the only thing that came to mind as far as service and food was … «Bitch…WHERE?!»
Service was bad, food was bad. They treated us like we were coming over to eat for free.
I hate wasting food and I didn’t even take any to go.
Has people in Aurora ever had Vietnamese food on Federal? Their English might not be as great but service and food would blow this place away. I’m thoroughly disappointed.
Last note… I’m one of your people! At least be nice.

Looking for awesome food paired with awesome service? Come here.
I’ve been coming to Golden Saigon for nearly ten years, and the quality of their food and service hasn’t changed one bit.
As far as food goes, I think they get the golden trophy for their sesame tofu. It’s served hot and crispy over a bed of styrofoam (fried rice noodles) and rice. I usually ask for broccoli as well.
I recently had the lemongrass tofu with steamed tofu and was blown away. Maybe it was exactly what I wanted at the time (it was), but the veggies with the soft tofu and the sauce just mm. The dish was bursting with flavor. Steamed tofu is a good choice for when you’re not feeling the fried stuffs.
If you’re going to get the sesame chicken, ask for it spicy and crispy, and they’ll season it differently… Better than how it’s normally served.
The phở here is one of the best. Their broth is extremely clean compared to other phở restaurants. They also don’t skimp out on the protein. They do not serve any vegetarian phos though, sadly.
The fried rice is very flavorful here, but be sure to ask for it with an egg on top. It’ll really bring the whole dish together and add that extra flare. But, the dish is still good without the egg. I just like eggs in my fried rice.
So, in short, I guess what I’m trying to say is that this place rocks in every way possible. Yeah, they’re awesome.

Hits home on all points that matter. Exceptional.
Ambiance: Interesting. French touches that make you smile, but honestly wonder — «Am in the right place? This is Vietnamese food, yes?» (Remnants of colonial influence?) Whatever it is, I can dig it. It feels like family lives here. Also appreciate seeing a diverse customer base.
Food: YES. It is apparent in all ways that they care about what they put on your plate. Let’s get into it.
— Thai tea. Real tea, real spices, creamy, but not too sweet. A tasty intro.
— Crab and cheese wontons. Hot, crisp, cream cheese and surprise, mozzarella in there too. The sauce has got personality that doesn’t come in a jar. We’re starting to believe by this point.
— Beef phở. Ok, it’s serious up in here. The aromatics sing to you in that broth, telling you a story of bones and tradition, steeped in care and know-​how. These are healing waters.
— Bonus: Kobe phở. Honor the animal, and don’t overcook the meat. Your mouth will thank you. The hot broth is beauty in a bowl.
— Mango mousse cake. Lovely, light. Great outro to finish pleasing the palate.
Service: On point — friendly, knowledgeable, attentive. I heard our server asking after a customer’s family on the way out. We told him we were from out of town, and he shared great info and suggestions on how to get the most out of our visit. Every time he spoke about the food, you could sense the pride that goes into presenting something done right. Thank you Thuan!
Conclusion? Every dish was a delight… The service was memorable for all the right reasons. You pass this place by, and you’re missing something special. We will be back!

Because we had our dog in the hotel and she kept barking whenever we left I decided to pick up food from the golden Saigon and eat them in the hotel. So this review is solely for their pick up service.
Service (2 stars)
They told me it would take 25 mins and I got there 30 mins after placing the order. I told them I was there to pick up they did not ask me for my name and just told me to sit at the desk in the very front of the restaurant. It was very awkward and I sat there for 10+ mins before I turned around and asked when my order would be ready. That was when the lady reconfirmed my name and told me that my order has been ready!
Food (3.5 stars)
Sesame chicken (3 stars)
This was highly recommended on Unilocal so we ordered it. The chicken was too tough but the coating etc was great
Curry with tofu (4 stars)
Would’ve given them 5 stars except for the fact that they forgot my tofu! Highly recommend this dish but just make sure they put the right protein in… If they put any at all.
Chow fun with combination meat (4 stars)
It was okay I would recommend

This place rocks. When we want something from the Far East, we come here.
Fried shrimp – amazing
Spring rolls – fresh and full of protein
Dumplings – on point with a house made sauce
Cashew chicken and sesame chicken both full of flavor and solid portions.
Give it a try!

Curry Chicken, Ooooh Yeah!
(Also the lamb coconut)
It was damn good food, and there were people dying to get in!
Im a huge fan of authentic asian food (especially curry) and this place is my new favorite spot.
Will be coming back and bringing friends.
The flavors WERE sommething to write home about.

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Denver!
I have been here many times in small groups of 2 to 3 people and with big groups of 5 – 8 people, meaning they are good for any group size, and with kids.
The outside doesn’t do justice for the food they serve here. But it goes to show that you can’t judge a book by its cover!
Everything is delicious here! I usually get the spring roll platter with a combination of pork, beef and fried shrimp! The platter is huge and enough to feed 2 or 3 people, but on really hungry days I can eat it by myself!
On this particular visit, I got the spring roll platter with all fried shrimp and my boyfriend got the combination fried rice! We were both very satisfied! We also got an order of crab cheese wontons, and a side order of egg drop soup. All of which was nothing but amazing. I wish I would have taken pictures, but I was so hungry I forgot!
The customer service is exceptional! I can tell this is a small family owned business but the customer service puts the cherry on top! I have come here so much, that they know what I order! But that shows that they pay attention to their customers. I would very much recommend this place! It’s a must try!

One of the oldest Vietnamese Restaurants in Aurora, Colorado, Golden Saigon offers many Asian dishes for one to order and consume.
One of the highlights of my meal were the Vietnamese Egg Rolls and Cream Cheese Wontons. Both I have an affinity for. The portions were hearty and I left feeling satisfied.
They had bouquets of fresh flowers around the place that left such a wonderful aroma. It was snowing outside in February and that was a great delight.
Overall the meal I had was delicious. Nothing to complain about. Hearty portions.
The restrooms were clean. The décor was clean and stylish. The employees were helpful and nice. The service was excellent.
Try it out. You’ll be glad you did.
