The trademarks of Vietnamese cuisine lie within a balance of five fundamental elements: spicy, sour, bitter, salty, and sweet. ViVi Pho Arapahoe hits these marks and more throughout their extensive menu. The family-run establishment builds their traditional dishes with locally-sourced ingredients, stacking fresh herbs and vegetables upon impeccably prepared noodles so each bite welcomes complementary textures. Noodle soups are served with a fresh dish of bean sprouts, basil, limes, and green pepper while noodle bowls—more often served cold—are topped with cucumber, lettuce, and chili lime sauce. Chicken, pork, beef, and more are standouts among the wok and rice plate entrees.
