“I'm very grateful that this restaurant is near me. Me and my husband are struggling financially, so we limit eating out for like once or twice a month. And this is the only place we would go because of such a generous portion and great taste.“
“In shortNeighborhood pho joint with a straightforward menu. They're delivering the goods for a fair price.In longThis is a bustling strip mall on an even-more-bustling 4-lane thoroughfare into Mill Creek. The parking lot is always packed. Especially on weekends, you can often assume that the pool hall/sports bar in the corner suite is drawing most of that traffic. But like most of the smaller businesses here, Pho Hoang has some reserved parking and you can hook it straight up. There's pho available at a couple spots within a few miles, but there are a ton of subdivisions and apartment complexes right around here. I was not at all surprised to see well over a dozen takeaway orders leave the dining room while I ate, and to hear a constant clatter from the kitchen, even though I was the only person eating in.You walk in to an open dining room with minimal decor. Dozen tables, acoustic drop ceiling, simple art. No muss, no fuss. Pay station in the back, tell 'em how many in your party and ya have a seat. No TVs I don't think, no music playing. A couple big potted plants. Seemed like the staff was mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, plus somebody in the kitchen and daughter at the pay station. Everyone is super nice, chatting warmly to each other in Vietnamese throughout my visit. I felt like I was visiting people in their home, in the nicest possible way. For my first time in, I got the usual steak and brisket. A small was filling for sure. You get an old teapot with a teabag steeping in it if you ask. They bring you a chilled plastic bottle of water when you sit. The broth was good stuff here. Rich and marrowy, nice and clear, good balanced spices. Everything in it was as it should be--tender meat, chewy noodles, nice flavor to the meatballs. The meatballs were a nice surprise, actually. The condiments were all in good shape--crunchy sprouts, very juicy fresh lime, super-aromatic basil. They don't bring you jalapenos or cilantro, and I didn't ask for any so I don't know if they stock it. But it was a perfectly satisfying bowl of soup as it was. I was out the door with a good tip for barely $20, happily armored against a cold damp day.“
“After shopping at Alderwood mall on a rainy Saturday afternoon, I looked up a few pho spots within the area and came across Pho 36. I was a little hesitant to give the place a try at first as I have a favorite pho spot further south (on my way home) but am so happy I gave this place a chance. The place had a few tables, and the workers seemed quite busy but I was greeted warmly and seated quickly. The place was noticeably clean too. I ordered the vegetable and fried tofu pho with beef broth and a side of egg rolls. To my delight, they gave me 4 eggs for $8. The broth was some of the best savory broth I've ever had and there was an assortment of vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, green onion) unlike other places that only give you carrots and broccoli. This place has 5 stars in my book and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.“
“We came around 8:00pm on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy. We got seated around 8:30pm, and there was 9 of us, so we had to wait for them to put two tables together. I really liked that you just go grab your own meat (except you have to order brisket from them) from the cold bar. And they had a nice hot bar. Lots of sides you can choose from. And this was the first time I saw marinated crab for all-you-can-eat, and I ate more of that than anything else. Service was friendly, and food was great.“
“2019 I was looking for a restaurant with live music and good food. New to Lynnwood at the time, I decided to treat myself. I had ate Pad Thai for the first time on an outing with a friend a few weeks prior to my visit to Silver Spoon. I decided I wanted to try this restaurant. I arrived and entered the place were the atmosphere was beautiful and pleasant. I was promptly greeted, ad escorted to my table for one. While waking I notice the lighting was dim. The walls had just enough light to reveal the elegant paintings of an artists work perfectly complimenting the piano player and singer. I ordered Coconut Shrimp and PadThai. The food came quickly and was hot. The Coconut shrimp are delicious, not too crunchy with coconut flakes and asweet savory dipping sauce. The Pad Thai was aromatic, flavorful and delicious. Silver Spoon is one of my favorite restaurants.“
“High quality and tasty rolls! Had the Salmon Lemon, Shrip tempura, Spider rolls. Fresh ingredients and excellent portions. Also tried the spicy ramen which was delicious and very well presented in the bowl. Kids had the Katsu Don and gobbled it up. Servers were attentive and overall inviting. Will come again!“
