A very Americanized experience in a bright environment with a friendly server. The pho wasn't great - slightly chewy meat, salty soup, a rice noodle I haven't had before (to be fair, most of the pho I've had was in Asia). Rice rolls were very large and bland with thick cut meat and a sticky peanut sauce.

I have this review as four stars because they need to serve beer. We had dinner here and the food was great but I didn't want soda, tap water or some crazy boba tea sugar thing. In any case the food and service was great!

Over all the food was great and very affordable. I do believe the toppings can be a little pricey. I would come back here to eat

Got the “BYO Ramen”. It’s a cool concept and you can pick the toppings you want. Cheap lunch option with good portion size. Look forward to returning

I visited What the Pho! for the first time and unfortunately, it will also be my last. I ordered two bowls of pho, and both were very disappointing. The noodles tasted undercooked, as if hot water was just poured over them before serving. The broth had a strange sour flavor, which didn’t taste like authentic pho at all. I’ve had great pho at other restaurants, but this was by far the worst experience. Definitely not recommended.

Food came after 30 seconds of ordering which should’ve been the first red flag
The noodles were underdone and stiff. The beef was inedibly chewy, tough and cut too thick. That type of pho requires tender beef, sliced thinly which they did the opposite.
I usually never leave bad reviews on places but I was actually unable to eat the food.
If you are going there I would highly recommend not buying the pho and going with something else, maybe it will be better.

Had vegan pho and extra broth and it was awesome. The place also had the 'make your own noodle soup' that I plan to take it next time. Suggestions to management are to add a easily pourable chili oil instead of packets (hard to tear open) and add a XL option for menu items.
I've never had pho before and wanted to try it. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. We ordered vegetarian pho with bean sprouts. I loved the fried tofu bits in there and the overall dish was delicious.

Be careful with this place. The cashier charged me $5.6 tips on a $16.99 order without asking me. I only found out from the text my bank sent to me. When I questioned the cashier, she said if I was not happy about the tip amount, she could refund me. I do not recommend a dishonest business like this.

Richard EXCEEDED our expectations. He was very enthusiastic to help us and explained everything very thoroughly. The food was enough to make us want to come back but I hope we get the privilege to see Richard again on our next visit!

A unique experience, one of a kind went in there completely lost and they helped and walked me through the entire process of making the pho. Definitely will come back shout out to Richard for the amazing experience. Also it’s cheap and very filling.

I actually feel horrible for the workers here - I was here on Saturday night. Why was there only a cashier and a single cook that I saw on a busy weekend night at one of the biggest malls in Washington State? My banh mi and ice coffee was $27 (plus tip) - I got so annoyed at my wait that I just ended up grabbing a topo chico instead. Owner - what the hell are you thinking and are you doing. You should be working with your workers alongside them. The sandwich was a little less than okay at best. The texture and taste didn't even look like chicken, it tasted like old pork. I'm trying my best to give grace but when I see poorly managed places, I get shocked at the buffoonery. Do better Richard Dao.
Very delicious pho and the server was so nice!

Very rude staff. Not coming again
