Pho House ~ Colorado Springs, Colorado ***CLOSED***

Last visit: Jan 2021

First visit: Dec 2018

Those who have followed the RJG know that we're always game for a good bowl of pho. Vietnamese food, on average, is generally more consistent than other food types. Rare is the time that a Vietnamese restaurant gets a thumbs down from us. Unless the broth is too salty - or not salty enough - it's generally going to hit the spot. And Pho House definitely knows what they're doing in the kitchen. We like to start out with the pork egg rolls which are crunchy and delicious, some of the best Vietnamese egg rolls we've ever had. A small bowl will yield 36 ounces of soup and that's plenty for me. I like the meatball pho and the vermicelli noodles are perfectly cooked and sit on the stomach well. Mrs. RJG goes for the veggie pho bowl that also comes with tofu, that she enjoys. Usually she devours all the fixins that comes with it, though I may sneak a jalapeno or two away. When thinking of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants, I'm reminded of the rice and chicken dishes. I have yet to try that here, but will next time. That will be their real test. But in the meantime, if looking for a yummy bowl of hot pho, and you're up here in far north Colorado Springs, definitely give Pho House a shot.

When we first moved here, this location was a Chinese restaurant called King's Kitchen (also quite good). Our first visit here was not long after they first opened. It's a rather large place, so very comfortable to eat inside during the pandemic.
