“Came for a birthday dinner, amazing food and service!“

“The pho was delicious, portion was more than enough for a large. There is also a bar and some games like DARTS. Only thing is the inside probably could use a update though, carpet needs to be shampooed or replace, restroom was dark. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot if you want good pho. I cant wait to go back.“

“I recently visited Phở Tái in Burien and had a pleasant experience overall. The restaurant feels clean and welcoming, with quick service and a comfortable local atmosphere. The broth was rich and aromatic — flavorful without being greasy — and the portion size was generous. The beef was tender and fresh, and the noodles were cooked just right.

They also offer a good selection of Vietnamese dishes beyond just phở, and the drinks came out quickly. The staff was attentive and friendly, which made the meal even better.

If I had to point out one thing, the broth could use a touch more depth, but it was still very satisfying. Overall, Phở Tái is a solid spot in Burien for a comforting, well-balanced bowl of phở and a taste of authentic Vietnamese flavors.“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

“Really good sandwiches. They take a bit of time to make so order a bit more ahead of time than you'd think, assume the pickup time listed on delivery apps will be at least 5 min too soon, or visit on a nice day when you won't mind the wait.“

“Very happy that we went to this restaurant for our pho cravings! The location is (sadly) a bit dodgy but once you are inside you will be greeted by the lovely staff. Pho tasted like my mom‘s: cooked with a lot of love. 💕 if you are around this area you should definitely try this place! Highly recommended 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“10/9/2021 Recommend? Yes. I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go). The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal. Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.“

“I chose to have dinner at Pho Saigon while travelling to Seattle because of the great reviews, and I’m glad I did. The vermicelli was superb, full of flavor and fresh. The shrimp rolls were also excellent. During dinner, Paul, one of the owners, came by to say hello… you could tell he cares about giving guests a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this Vietnamese restaurant and will definitely come back the next time I’m in Seattle.“

“Definitely recommend the best Pho I’ve ever had! I’ll definitely come back and awesome service! Thank you!“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“Order at the door and the seat you. Party of 6 or more they auto charge gratuity incase you aren’t anticipating it. Food is great. They don’t come to check on you but probably due to covid/social distancing. Easy atmosphere. Parking is very limited so be prepared.“

“I stopped by here for some quick food before a Seahawks game, and I was incredibly surprised by how good this place was
I got the Grilled Pork Bahn Mi, and what surprised me the most was how cheap it was. Compared to how expensive everything around me was, the fact that I could get this for as low as $10 instantly drew my eye. Considering this price, I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this actually turned out very good

I've had a bunch of pork bahn mi's in the past, and this definitely ranks up there as one of the best.
The baguette is super crispy on the outside, yet it didn't feel chewy or hard to get through like you'd often feel with bread that is too hard. Despite the crispiness it was still not too difficult to bite through and get through both sides of the sandwich
I loved the amount of mayo slathered across both sides of this. When making a sandwich like this, sauce is exceedingly important because the risk of making the sandwich feel dry is high. However, in this case, it added to the flavor a lot

The vegetables as a part of this were really good too
The highlight of this sandwich was the pork. It was in relatively large circular pieces scattered throughout, and was abundant throughut the sandwich. This pork was cooked really well, super fatty and flavorful, and you could tell it was recently grilled because of the char marks on the outside - which just added to that grill flavor. It was fantastic

For the price, you really can't beat how good this was, and it was pretty filling as well

Overall, a tiny place that offers an incredibly good version of this classic sandwich. 9/10“

“The best Pho place in Kent WA and the Seattle WA area. The food is amazing. Other places that I have been have been mediocre. I have been to at least 6 places in the Kent Seattle area.“

“Menu is awesome, quick services and good food!“

“Love it here! Great neighborhood spot. Service is quick, everyone is really friendly, great casual vibe. The food is good value for the price and they have the best wings I’ve had in Seattle (fish sauce wings specifically).
We have liked everything we have tried on the menu“

“Whole in a wall Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Not downtown Seattle kind of menus which u have to pay additional $ for extra meat ! 😂“

“Had lunch with my oldest daughter. I know Rose from previous dining experiences but I was not expecting the welcome we got. She showed us with greetings and prayed over us.

Food was very tasty. The banh mi was toasted and the chicken soothed my taste buds with flavor.“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“Best broth in the Rattle. Lemon grass chicken was perfect and the tea was great. No complaints. Cheap as chips“

“❤️❤️❤️ best sandwich best price!!“

“super small hole in the wall, no seating but very, very helpful service. I didn't know a lot of what was being offered and the person behind the counter was very helpful. he gave me recommendations and explained what was in each item, the food was delicious and the chicken wings are divine!! very affordable pricing!! 10/10 recommend!!!“

“Try the Obama Noodle...it’s really good!“

“love this place! fresh and clean“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“My office ordered here for a big to-go order on a cozy, rainy day, and they were so accommodating! An order for 7 people was ready in 20 minutes and packaged securely. We ordered Pho Tai and Pho Nam, grilled pork Bahn mi, a bunch of egg rolls, and the sweet and sour pho, which was amazing if you like to explore flavors, dont shy away from it! All of our food was great, there were no complaints from anyone. 10/10 for these guys, a true hidden gem in Tukwila, WA! Fair warning: their chili oil is no joke. I would buy jars of this stuff. Edit: this place is under new management so this review is no longer accurate“

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

“I loved this small place on Beacon Hill. I was visiting from Detroit and saw it as I walked from the train to where I was staying. I went in an hour before they opened without realizing it, and the friendly owner invited me to come back at lunchtime. I'm glad I did. The owner greeted me again warmly. I had veggie pho with tofu and a Vietnamese coffee, both absolutely delicious. The servers were friendly as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Not much atmosphere, but very friendly, satisfying food, and reasonable price. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely go back.“

“Good foods. Will be back if I’m in town“

“Low key and authentic. Good spring rolls, pho, and rice dishes.“

“And great Vietnamese food.“

“My absolute favorite! I have a slight obsession with bahn mi sandwiches and Pho Aroma has my favorite - perfect ratio of meat to bread to veggies. I also love their rice dishes and recently tried the crispy noodle stir fry which is my current obsession! The owners are also the absolute kindest people and it’s just a really cozy places to have a meal.“

“friendly staff, great coffee. Will definitely be back for more.“

“I live close to here and come here often. Everything I’ve ever had has been really good to great. The calamari is fantastic. Dont expect them to wait on you hand and foot. They give you the menu take you oder after a few minutes and will fill your water if they see its low. They are not gonna ask you if everything is good every 5 minutes. Great place to come eat in a very chill environment“

“im vietnamese was craving viet rice dishes and been looking for a good viet restaurant. Found Pho My Chau 2; one of the most legit and best vietnamese places in fedway.“

“We were surprised on how charming it was once inside (for it being next to Fred Meyer). Well decorated, clean, and good service. The Bum Mam soup was filling and had a wonderful broth. My husband had the clay-pot chicken dish and we loved how it tasted like roasted duck with how they prepared it. They had a good selection of Vietnamese dishes I had never tried before so we can't wait to come back and try some more. The waitstaff were friendly and were happy to answer any questions.
We always try not to grocery shop on an empty stomach and this fit the bill before heading into Fred Meyer.“

“First visit here and I ordered regular spring rolls, wonton soup and a coke. No complaints, price is fair. As far as service goes, hospitality was there and I found them to be professional, courteous and friendly. The turn around was quick from walking in to completion of my order. The flavor of the foods are unique and i typically get similar dishes at comparable establishments to establish a base line of good, not good. This place is not only good, its flavor is unique to this establishment. Overall I was pleased with everything and look forward to a return visit to try the pad thai!“

“This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Renton. The food is consistently delicious — every bowl, every plate, every time. Whether it’s pho, vermicelli, rice dishes, or their house specialties, everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality and keeping the recipes authentic.

One thing to know: this place gets busy. If you want a smooth experience with no wait, go early or aim for off-peak hours. It’s popular for a reason, and once the rush hits, the line can get long.

Parking is another plus — free and easy, which is rare these days and makes the visit stress-free.

Overall, if you’re craving comforting, reliable, and genuinely tasty Vietnamese food, this restaurant never disappoints. It’s always a satisfying meal and one of the spots I keep coming back to.“

“I was going to buy a teriyaki next door but it was closed so I decided to check this place out. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice and it was delicious. I also ordered the tofu banh mi and it was better than Saigon deli in my opinion. I will go back again to try other food.“

“What a wonderful spot and a perfect stop after visiting Kubota Garden. The dining room was clean and spacious, and the service prompt and friendly. The bun bo hue was delicious and a welcome change from the salt bomb broths I’ve become accustomed to from Vietnamese noodle soups in Seattle. The flavors were nuanced and not too heavy or salty. I especially enjoyed the tender pork knuckle and the (homemade?) small meatballs flecked with what tasted and appeared to be makrut lime leaves. An easy place for kids - my 5 year old slurped up his plain pho.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Broth is always great and fresh ingredients always used, never ever disappointed here. The outside isnt the most inviting looking (barred for safety I assume) however don’t be shy. Inside is clean, fully equipped with all your soup needs lol. Owner is a really kind Uncle. Recommend for sure. 😊“

“Thank you Ba Bar for delivering lunch yesterday to Swedish Hospital healthcare workers!!!! It was so wonderful to take our masks off and enjoy amazing, healthy food. Thank you for thinking of us!“

“Vietnam House is one of those places that feels like a weekend family gathering — no frills, just the comfort of well-executed classics. Their specialty is Cơm Tấm (broken rice), and the menu gives you plenty of ways to experience it.

The go-to order is the Cơm Tấm Sườn Nướng ($11.99) — tender grilled pork chop over fluffy broken rice, simple and satisfying. For something richer, the Cơm Tấm Sườn Bì Chả ($13.25) adds shredded pork and steamed egg for a full trio of textures. If you’re hungry, the Cơm Tấm Đặc Biệt ($14.99) stacks pork chop, shrimp cake, egg, and meatloaf — a full Vietnamese sampler on one plate.

What makes this spot stand out is the portion size and value. Plates run $12–15, come loaded with rice, pickles, and sides, and leave you more than full.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Come here for hearty broken rice combos when you’re craving comfort food without any pretense. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly what you want from a neighborhood Vietnamese joint.“

“The peaceful atmosphere here combined with delicious food makes the meal memorable.“

“Decent broth (does have MSG) , they do jave other MSG free options ok the menu. The friend rice can use some help bit overall it's decent.“

“The number 25 Chicken Pho (rice noodles with chicken in chicken broth) was the best thing I have ever had. It was flavorful while still being simple. It wasn't super filling, and my mom and I determined that the medium and large sizes are mainly a difference in broth, not noodles. So consider adding extra noodles to get more food. Our server was very nice and easy to talk to. The food came our fast and was hot and fresh without being too hit that you couldn't eat it. The atnosphere feels comforatble and similar to a hole in the wall place, though it was open and had plenty of room. 10/10 recommend, I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. I didn't get a photo before I ate it all, but here's my after to at least show the broth :)“

“I had the beef teriyaki and my husband had kaee Mao dinner soo delicious! Very kind people who are invested in your experience and making sure you enjoy the food they put their heart into. If you enjoy this type of food at all, this is a must to try!“
