Viet Kieu Restaurant
Denver's original authentic Vietnamese restaurant also happens to be its only one. Fortunately, its menu features a variety of Vietnamese favorites, from spring rolls, won tons, satays, pork ribs and a range of pho dishes to a seafood selection that includes grilled Mahi Mahi and sauteed shrimp and scallops. Customers generally receive a warm welcome from both friendly staff as well as fresh, warm hand cloths. This small restaurant has low-key decor but a clean, attractive environment. It opens for lunch and dinner everyday except Monday.
