Anise, Modern Vietnamese Eatery

This is a perfect place for a game!! Stumbled upon this place, thinking it was closed. I never would have guessed walking in that I would experience some of the best food I’ve had in Denver in the past seven years. The bar area has plenty of TVs and a wide selection of drinks. The spring rolls are phenomenal. The edamame was fresh. The service was super quick. The other restaurants in the area and come here, seriously.

I rarely give 5 starts but this places become one of my favs in Denver. I ordered the beef phõ and the broth was delicious, good flavor and the meat was great, good portions; to finish, I ordered the famous Vietnamese coffee and I cannot describe how well it was. In addition, the staff was very polite, they constantly asked if my food was okay, the food was ready in my table in just a couple minutes which was great because I was starving. Thank you so much for made my day, I had a wonderful Sunday!

I had heard about this place and wanted to check it out. It wasn’t crowded on a Sunday evening, and I sat at the bar to order and eat. I had to order from a QR code. No paper menus available. I am not a fan of QR codes, but placed my order of a rolls platter. The platter was good sized and a nice variety of rolls was fun to try. I might return in the future to try different dishes.

I really wanted to like this place as I love Vietnamese and my partner and I like to have it frequently... So menu is basic....what's modern about it? The price? I think that's about it. Price was our biggest issue...food tasted good...service was friendly... The pork spring ro appetizer was good and the best value...3 rolls 8 bucks. My partner had the chicken curry with noodles...18bucks....less of a gravy .ore of a soup. Good flavor. I had the pork sausage and grilled pork....the sausage was matey a 1.5oz patty....really small. The grilled pork was tasty...I have no idea what cut they used to roll up and skewer, but the looked like intestines....they were t though. That pork dish was 22 dollars. Not worth it. The price I would assume is why at 6-730pm there was only 2, two tops and 1 person at the bar. Empty.
