“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.“

“wow, traditional dishes are good, but fusion dishes are better in my opinion. Fusion dishes show the creativity and outside the box thinking. Tried my first sandwich today and will be returning to try others. If you love Binh Mi this is the spot.“

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

“Our last stop in Seattle. The restaurant is beautiful and warm just like the wait staff. Everyone was extremely personable and made us feel welcome as we were eating. The food was excellent. We had a pho and a char siu bahn mi that honestly were some of the best we've had. The bread was crunchy and soft on the inside. Whether you're a local or looking for something light on the way to the airport this is worth the stop.“

“Old Saigon is a hidden gem with great food and friendly service. The pho was flavorful and satisfying, and the banh mi was just as good—fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. The complimentary hot jasmine tea was a nice touch, especially on a chilly day. The staff were warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Plus, they offer a punch card for a free pho after several visits, which is a great bonus. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

Also as always the egg rolls are super good.“

“So delicious & amazing staff! Will visit every time I visit Seattle and am hoping a Chicago location opens one day! 🙏🏽✨“

“I’ve eaten at almost every pho shop in the northwest and this is definitely one of the best ones I’ve been to.
Probably the top two!
The broth is so good and intense. I always get the steak of brisket with steak on the side and I like to cook it myself.
I also like the self serve condiment bar because I absolutely love plenty of basil, lime, and sprouts. And they also have cilantro, which made me very happy.

Will definitely be back many times if I can Help it!“

“The food here is a really delicious! My favorite Vietnamese restaurant ever. The grilled pork is better than anywhere I’ve ever tried. I will say that it’s a family owned restaurant and sometimes the service takes a little longer than other places but the quality of the food is worth it without a doubt!“

“love this place! fresh and clean“

“I ordered sandwiches and sugarcane juice from My’s Vietnamese Sandwiches and Deli, and everything was amazing! The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic taste. The sugarcane juice was perfectly refreshing. To top it off, they surprised me with a complimentary dessert, which was such a kind gesture. Great food, generous portions, and warm service—I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The pho was pretty good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but enjoyable. And the wait staff was very attentive and kind. When we’re in Burien we would go back again.“

“Great banh mi place with a good drinks selection. I've been here before and gotten several of their sandwiches but prefer their BBQ pork one! Their Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and I loved it.“

“They are known for their Bun Bo Hue which is amazing but my favorite is the #6 The dry pho with minced pork.“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“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.“

“The food here is AUTHENTIC Vietnamese cooking. There is absolutely no other Vietnamese restaurants in Washington State that can be compared to Lang Viet. Bought 13 dishes, since it was a bit of a drive where I live. The first dish, Banh Xeo, was perfection. It had all the veggies, the banh xeo had the exact ingredients you expect from the banh xeo. Tastes excellent, even after sitting in the car for an hour drive home. The Muc Nuong Sa Te/ Grilled cuttle fish with house special chili sauce is so perfectly cooked, the cuttle fish is soft and melts in your mouth. The Bun Mam is the best. It is not overwhelm by the mam. Everything in it balanced out and it is the only Bun Mam you want to eat in this state. Khay Cuon Lang Viet is not special enough, but it fills the tummy. Thit Ba Roi, Tom Kho Tieu/ Braised black pepper pork belly and shrimp in clay pot goes perfect with white rice. It is just pure Vietnamese cooking.

This will be my weekly drive for Vietnamese food for the weekend.

Parking: lots of parking“

“We ended up ordering take away since they are near closing and we didn’t like being rushed. Menu was extended. We had pho , grilled and teriyaki chicken. Big portions. Lots of veggies. Never missed the sauces. Recommended for a break in the usual western cuisine.“

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

“If you're a fan of comfort food with rich, deep flavors, you HAVE to try the beef stew, It never disappoints!! The broth is so flavorful and the meat is always so soft. Been coming here for years & they alwayss get me right. The service is always friendly and quick. Definitely a must-try for everyone :)“

“Always come here with my boyfriend for a bowl of Pho or Bun Bo Hue. 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. ?“

“They have the best pho in the world! I have had it many places but their broth is second to none.“

“Nice spot for Vietnamese fare. Wasn't blown away by any individual dish, but the pho was solid and I appreciated the different size options. Prices were also very fair. There are beer options available, but they're very limited. Would eat here again if I was already in the area.“

“Alway love banh beo chén , bánh xèo , canh chua cá kh to , many many good food here“

“I recently dined at Anchovies and Salt, and I must say, it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of Vietnamese cuisine with a unique twist. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making it hard to choose a favorite. The environment of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, with a vibrant atmosphere that made for a perfect dining experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. If you're in Seattle and craving some incredible Vietnamese food, I highly recommend checking out Anchovies and Salt. You won't be disappointed!“

“I love 108 Vietnamese Restaurant, it's family-owned, and the owner is very nice. There's plenty of seating, and the restaurant is always kept clean.

There’s plenty of seating, and the restaurant is always kept clean.

The food is fantastic! I like broken rice with pork chop and a giant prawn. It comes with shredded pork skins, fried eggs, and savory fish sauce. I also like the sweet and sour catfish soup and catfish stew and the pho is always delicious.

Parking: Parking is free and shared with other businesses, such as Harbor Freight.“

“I have ordered via grubhub previously. But today was my very first time dining in here. I got the small pho tai bo vien, it was very flavorful, hot, & really fresh. The portion is very good for the price too. I definitely would come back again in the future to try something new.“

“We have tried A LOT of Pho in the area, and this one is our favorite by far! It has the best food, and the best service. We dine-in at least once a week. Everything we’ve tried has been amazing, the employees are all so sweet, and they’ve memorized our orders. They’re probably tired of us by now, but we can’t get enough 😂“

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

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!“

“The Pho here at Pho7 is just Great and full of taste! It’s clean and the broth is not greasy! They have other Dished on the menu, but I just like the Pho and Fresh Spring Rolls!!“

“I've been going to Pho 88 for 8 years. I've befriended the waiters and waitresses. They are really alert about good customer service and they are responsive. The food is always excellent. It is a great place for fresh cooked vegetables and great cuisine!!!“

“Vietnamese flavor that tastes like comfort food your mom or grandma makes. I will come back and definitely bring my parents.

Every dish tried delicious, especially the pork meatball soup. It’s unlike anything I’ve found in other Vietnamese restaurants. I'm surprised it doesn't have a following yet. So delicious and comforting, if they ever decide to add Bun Cha Ca with dill to their menu with this broth, it would be a hit.

The tofu was standard, plain fried and breaded nothing special there and the Thai tea hit the spot as always.

Definitely a hole in the wall that I'll return to.“

“Highly recommend Hot Pho! Fast friendly service and good size portions!“

“Pho was decent. The woman at the counter initially hung up on me because she couldn’t understand me. Why? No clue. I had to call back where she had a customer speak to me on the phone, answer my question, and place my order. Got there and everything was fine. I might try it again but haven’t fully decided yet.“

“Always clean always good!“

“Pork and shrimp crispy rolls“

“Food was tasTee!! Place got really busy fast, it’s all bout timing!!!“

“Located in a strip mall behind Baja Fresh. Excellent broth. I think the best in the area. Stopped by for a late lunch. Service was a little slow because the workers were also taking a lunch but nothing to complain about. Overall good food and service. Would recommend for anyone wanting a nice comforting bowl of pho. Free parking.“

“Visiting from Eugene, OR. My daughter just finished a full, hard fought club soccer game against OL Reign. I was hungry for lunch, so I was looking for a lunch spot near the field, and this Pho spot caught my eye on Google maps. There were some positive reviews, but what caught my eye were the negative reviews. Haters gonna hate. Would they deter me? No. So I wondered the side streets while gauging my daughter's interest in some warm broth with noodles and protein. She was open to it, and as I ended up on the main street, I saw a ghetto looking strip mall with just that Pho spot that caught my eye. Understanding from the reviews that it was run by a couple and seeing the setting, I knew I'd be in for a treat. When I walked in the door, we were greeted authentically and pleasantly. We were sat promptly upon answering that we intended to eat there. My order was taken quickly, and as soon as we were ready. Did I dare ask to use the restroom that the sign on the door boldly read was not for public use and appeared locked with a padlock? I asked and was assured it was not locked. It wasn't, and it was very clean. By the time I got out and my daughter and I commented to each other how nice they were, our food started coming out. The Banh mi was crisp, warm, and tasty. The fried spring roll was delicious. The pho was huge and amazing. My daughter and I doctored it up to our liking and enjoyed it. We paid and tried tidying our mess to be interrupted and assured they would take care of that. My daughter can be picky, but she loved this place from the authenticity to the tasty food. We left stuffed, happy, and with a memory of a pleasant experience. Oh, the prices were very reasonable, I'd say affordable. Good stuff.

Vegetarian options: Idk if it would satisfy strict vegetarian standards but there were vegetarian options.

Parking: Ghetto Strip mall parking shared with a laundromat, dollar tree, and a few other businesses.“

“Hands down the best hu tieu in Seattle! The broth is sweet of pork bones, yes there’s MSG so I usually avoid killing all the broth. Second best dish is the bo kho with bread😋

Hard working family run business. Always busy with returning clients. Table turns over fast. Boss lady remembers your order and her dad and son bus the table 🥹 Reminds me of eating in small eateries in VN.“

“This joint is absolutely the best place to experience Pho!

I am not exaggerating. Put this as a stop when you go thru Auburn. Now, I am not attesting to anything but their soup. My pallet isn't all that sophisticated, food is food most of the time but not Pho.

I have been to many Pho restaurants in many cities across the country.

This place gets it right, each and every time.

I wrote this 7 years ago. My dad introduced me to this restaurant in 2006! Since then I have been to many Pho restaurants across this nation.

And 7 years later… this restaurant remains number 1 in quality , quantity and consistency.“

“The food here are Amazing! 🤩 It has extremely fair price as a restaurant in Seattle area. We realized the boss or the waiter forgot to charge the spring roll we ordered and we came back to ask if they missed that charge. The boss was extremely nice and told us it’s okie and consider it as a special😭😭 I was recommended by a Vietnamese friend and now I’m recommend here a lot if you want to try authentic Vietnamese food.“

“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!“

“My visit to Pho Asia Noodle House Renton left me with a mixed impression. The restaurant had a cozy ambiance and a welcoming atmosphere that set the stage for a comforting dining experience. The service was attentive and prompt, ensuring that our orders were taken efficiently.

As for the food, while it was enjoyable, I found it to be fairly average in taste and presentation. The pho broth lacked the depth and complexity that I've come to expect from exceptional pho places, though the ingredients were fresh and well-prepared. The portion sizes were generous, offering good value for the price.

Overall, a decent choice if you're looking for a casual dining spot with friendly service and a relaxed environment. While it didn't quite reach the heights of some other pho places I've tried, it still provides a satisfactory meal that won't disappoint those seeking a comforting bowl of pho.“
