Western Littleton just got a little more cosmopolitan. East truly meets West at the Pot of Pho located at the crossroads of Ken Caryl Avenue and C470. Out here, you don’t find many Vietnamese restaurants that generally are located in more urban areas. But thanks to the easy access that the highway provides, this area is expanding rapidly. Here snuggled against the picturesque foothills of Ken Caryl Valley you can fend off the coming cold temperature by slurping a steaming bowl of noodles.

As implied by the name, the highlight of this bistro is pho, chewy Vietnamese rice noodles in a bowl of tasty beef broth. Ours was a combination of rare eye of round, well-done brisket, and Vietnamese meatball. With your soup, you get a plate of very fresh ingredients to fix up your pho – bean sprouts, lime wedges, mint, cucumbers, green onions, lettuce. Very little oil is used for the broth, so what you end up with is a dish that’s both hearty and healthy, not to mention delicious.

Or try the Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio - Vermicelli Noodle Bowl - shrimp, pork, and eggroll piled over vermicelli noodles and doused with a slightly sweet and gently spicy sauce, not overpowering to even the most sensitive palate, but without skimping on flavor either.

Their Goi Cuon, Shrimp and Pork Spring Roll, is made in the traditional style with mint, sprouts, vermicelli, fresh shrimp and BBQ pork wrapped up in a blanket of steamed rice paper. It’s served with a thick and delicious peanut sauce for dipping.

As an aesthetic bonus, original and creative art work by noted Vietnamese artists line the walls of this clean and elegant dining hall. Ask your charming hostess, Thoa Tran about the history behind these
marvelous pieces. Good food, beautiful surroundings and impeccable service is what Pot of Pho is all about.
