So gross! Ran down, trashy restaurant with a cockroach on the floor. Do NOT eat here! I typically LOVE all pho than brother locations as they're so consistent. Extremely disappointed.

I used to come here all the time growing up, and my love for the place peaked around 7 years ago. Always used to get the small pho that had everything in it, #14. Since then, there's been a constant cycling of owners and employees, and the quality has gone down. The free cream puffs haven't been around for a couple years now. The last time I visited, I walked in to a room full of uncleared tables and leftover bowls. Though I've never doubted their cleanliness, it was obvious they hadn't come out to bus in quite some time and it wasn't conducive to my appetite. I want to keep loving this place, but I haven't found myself returning in quite a while! :(

I grew up with Pho Than Brothers and loved it but I think this location isn't as good. Nothing wrong here, it's not bad - just average. Other locations definitely do better. Service does not stand out, they just seat you and take your order. They rarely, if at all, come visit and check in on you. No free cream puffs here. Pretty standard, basic, no surprises or disappointments. I always opt for #14 and it comes with all you can ask for ranging from tendon to brisket to steak. Lots of sodium but that's normal, you'll be thirsty if you drink the broth and then pretty full due to the combination of water and pho.

Your basic, no frills pho place. It's really basic as in it just serves pho. Its a small shop. You have to wait to be seated. The interior is dingy but the broth is legit. Prices are just right too.

We just moved down the street from this location, so glad it's close by! The flavor of the broth is spot on, although it seems like they give the same broth for beef-based and chicken pho. Just a heads up if you're a no-beef person. Haven't had any issues being served in a timely fashion for pickup orders. We've tried other pho places that were disappointing, so we'll stick with Pho Than.

Most of people come here for fish but to me their best dish is the don topped with pork curry. Absolutely delicious and extremely filling.

Forgot to take any pictures, but everything was great."Extra Noodles" come in a good sized bowl, which made it really easy for me to split my large bowl with my young kiddo (giving them half the meat and enough broth to cover their noodles.I felt portions were really generous, and the meat was some of the best I've had in pho (steak and brisket).Every order of pho came with a complimentary cream puff, which was fun! The puffs were about 3 bites each, and filled with a creamy/buttery custard that had a hint of lemon. I loved it, the people in my party who don't like lemon...didn't. haha. More for me, next time! We will definitely be back.

While I'm empathetic towards restaurants and how it's difficult to find staffing, this restaurant only has one person working the whole restaurant-- greeting customers, seating, taking orders, cleaning the tables, and attending to the cash register. We walked in, and even after 5 minutes we were not acknowledged. Even after waiting, another customer walked in behind us, and they were tended to first. Some other customers left even before being tended to. As for the restaurant itself, it has an excellent food safety rating. The atmosphere itself is like a hole in the wall. So you're really coming here just to eat and go. It's really a place to go if you want a fast meal, but since they're understaffed, it's no longer a fast dining experience because of the wait to get seated. Now getting to the best part, the food. The restaurant only serves pho, so if you want appetizers or a more expansive menu, I would suggest going elsewhere. I ordered the Tai Chin Nam Gau Gan Sach, which is the pho with everything: eye-round steak, well-done flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe. The broth is mediocre, more on the sweet side. Eye round steak was a little dry.

A throwback to the pho eateries of the 90's in Seattle. Unassuming location and ambience where the only focus is on the pho. There is no other options beside pho so it has to be the star of it's not anything else. The pho is the star, so it all works out.
Only one server, but hard worker. Broth and meat were flavorful! They give you a lot of noodles! It was so satisfying on a cold day!! Good prices!

Was super busy on a Sunday afternoon. Stood around a little bit then decided to go else where since no one came around to service us. Just didn't feel safe sitting shoulder to shoulder in a packed place....

For some reason I like pho soup this place a lot but service is lacking. Today only one lady working. I mean 1 doing everything from cooking and servicing the table. Feel bad but should hire people.
