“Excellent banh mi, hot ginger lemon tea, and boba tea choices. 5 stars!“

“The food is fantastic! I’m a gluten free person and the staff and owner have been very accommodating!“

“❤ Love this place, the food is beautiful and fresh and delicious, they are very careful and kind and conscientious about dietary needs, and the atmosphere in this lovely clean restaurant is cool and inviting and comfortable. Great service and staff, thank you for wonderful food and the Thai iced tea was delicious!“

“We are from Utah, so eating authentic Vietnamese food is a treat. We ordered the beef pho, chicken bahn mi and egg rolls.
This is a great place to stop on your way to the airport.
The owner Paul was very nice and was accommodating to my food allergies.
The service was more on the slower side due to the fact that its a family owned and not a lot of employees.
I would rate the food a 10. Best Pho broth in Western Washington.“

“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.“

“Good food affordable and friendly staff …“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“So delicious and very large portions! Servers are extremely hospitable as well!
The Black Pepper Fried Tofu was THE crispiest and juiciest tofu I've ever had, and I've had a lot of tofu as a vegetarian! Chili Lemongrass w. Rice Noodles had an ABUNDANT amount of vegetables, it was very nutritious and filling! My dad loved the Mongolian Beef with rice and my mom could NOT get enough of the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup! Pho Chay was slightly salty, so perhaps ask for it with less salt, but nonetheless full of flavor! And the dessert was sweet and perfect combo of hot and cold. Highly recommend :)“

“Great food but very poorly staffed and not the best service. Waited 40 minutes for two bowls of noodles and the steam rice cakes. Waited 15 min after being seated for water.

When the food did come, it was delicious though.“

“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!“

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

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“love this place! fresh and clean“

“I had a fantastic experience at this pho restaurant! The large bowl of pho was just \\$16, and it was worth every penny. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the portion of meat was generous—tender slices of beef that were cooked perfectly and filled every bite. The noodles were fresh and perfectly cooked, and the fresh herbs and toppings added great balance to the dish. It’s clear they care about quality and flavor here. On top of that, the service was excellent—attentive without being intrusive. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and checked in just the right amount. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a relaxed atmosphere. I left feeling full, happy, and already planning to come back. If you're looking for a great bowl of pho with great value and service, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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!“

“This place has been my go to place for over 12 years. The food never disappoints. I highly recommend them if you live or visit the area.

Today I tried the pork patty spring rolls and they were very tasty. Make sure you get fish sauce to dip the sauce make a difference.“

“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 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!“

“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. ?“

“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!“

“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 😂“

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

“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!!“

“How have I never tried this place? Working close by and ordered a bahmi sandwich and Vietnamese coffee for pickup. Super fast, the bahmi is one of the best I've had in a long time! And the coffee is strong and delicious as well.
Will come back to try other menu items!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Always clean always good!“
