What The Pho is a Vietnamese spot, offering phở, vermicelli noodle bowls, grilled meat platters and more.

On the menu, expect to find plentiful beef-based phở options, like the bowl with brisket and flank steak, bean sprouts, basil, lime and jalapeños. Steak also appears in the shaken beef steamed rice platter, featuring wok-seared cubes of marinated tenderloin with black pepper, garlic, soy sauce and oyster sauce. Diners can finish the meal with desserts like a fruity boba smoothie or homemade banana and coconut ice cream.

What The Pho currently holds four stars out of 38 reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.

Yelper Ilana T., who visited the eatery on June 27, wrote, "Fantastic spot for phở in downtown Denver! Great service and great selection. Standard prices in comparison. The phở comes in three sizes, which is good for different appetites. If you are looking for an appetizer, the fried pork spring rolls were the best spring rolls I've ever had."

Yelper David H. wrote, "Very nice people here. It can get crowded at lunch, so it's wise to go a bit early. The food was good. The phở broth wasn't as flavorful as I've had other places, but it was still nice."

What The Pho is open from 10:30 a.m.–9 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
