Noodles near Normandy Park, WA

“Came to this place after a long day of traveling for some takeout. We walked in and immediately noticed the cozy and welcoming atmosphere. My boyfriend and I were the only two in the restaurant and the staff greeted us very kindly right away. The owner (I assume from reading other reviews) brought out our food and greeted us so kindly, she treated us like family, called us both by name and before leaving she prayed over us. It was such a genuine and beautiful gesture that I was not expecting. She packed up our food and hugged us both goodbye. The food was great and exactly what we needed after a long day. We are just visitors here but through that short interaction and tasty food it made us feel like it was home. Thank you Rose Pho, we will absolutely be coming back on our next visit!“

“We absolutely loved the food, the people, and the history - what an experience! Thank you for an unforgettable night!“

“พอดีรู้จักร้านจากการไปเที่ยว Tawa Thai fastival ที่ผ่านมา สั่งยำแซลม่อนมาทาน แล้วรู้สึกคิดถึงบ้านที่ไทยมากกก อร่อยมากๆเลยค่ะ ไว้ผ่านไปจะไปแวะทางอาหารนะคะ อร่อยๆจริงๆค่ะ“

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

“So good! Food was served quickly & SO delicious. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Quick to clear our table of empty dishes. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon!“

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

“Beef Holy Basil! I am Thai, when I say this Thai food is good.... I mean it!“

“awesome.. love this place.“

“We were so pleasantly surprised by this place! Although there’s a decent amount of Thai restaurants in Federal Way, it’s hard to find those of quality. The orange chicken here is now my step-mother’s favorite and the chicken satay is my dad’s favorite. The cashew chicken was great and so was the Thai iced tea that I got! They brought out everything as soon as it was done, which is such a great thing for restaurants to do since I like my food HOT. This is our new go-to spot, hands down!“

“I'm totally hooked to this place to the point I come by almost once a week. The food is absolutely freaking delicious and not only the that the owner is sweet as the sauce glazing the spam Katsu Masubi! You can tell she loves what she does and the rest of the people working behind the scene to make this all happen! 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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“

“Creative, fresh, addictive and very cool hipster vibe. My favorite was the horchata boba. Can’t wait to come back and try all of the other flavors. They all look so pretty. Also saw that they have cool board games and places to chill. Will have to take my date here. #drinkboga. 🧋“

“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!“

“My first time in and really didn’t have many expectations but was blown away by the friendly staff. Ordered papaya salad w/ tofu. Tofu came fried to perfection in my book. Requested some fish sauce, the server asked if I would prefer fish dressing, big smile on my face :). Ordered a (banh-mi) sandwich w/ tofu, tofu was a little soft for my liking but had great flavor and a overly fair amount of ingredients, two thumbs up 👍. I received a side of fish dressing I used some chilly paste in it, the other server asked if I would like to have the chilly oil… ohh man was I happy with that suggestion!! Loved it!! Would recommend for an authentic flavor and palates. Will return and try more. Super excited to have a very good pho place here at the beach!! Thanks for doing what y’all doing there!!“

“The restaurant provided a very positive experience especially for my friend with whom I dine it here. She was having a hard time and probably hadn't any food in 2 days. Also it was last time I was eating with her so we really wanted something wholesome and homely at late hours of cold night.

I took a veg pho and I really cherished it. The Spring rolls were also great. I was great to see the food left a smile on my friend's face.

Loved the service and ambience. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Yummy original Thai noodle, Foods & Thai Milk Tea.“

“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.“

“Best place for lunch in Georgetown hands down“

“Good place to eat, clean, and great looking menu“

“Had an amazing experience at Renton Bistro! I came specifically to try their Vietnamese food and ordered the grilled pork chop with broken rice (cơm tấm đặc biệt), and it did not disappoint.

The pork chop was perfectly grilled—juicy, flavorful, and slightly smoky with that authentic Vietnamese taste. The broken rice was soft and paired so well with the pickled veggies, fresh garnishes, and fish sauce. Every bite felt balanced and comforting, just like a true Vietnamese home-style meal.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was clean and welcoming. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Renton Bistro is definitely worth a visit. I’ll absolutely be back to try more dishes!“

“I’ve only come here for 1 item - and I’ve done so for years. One of the best Bún Bò Huế’s in town. Proper spicy & very generous with the portion. The mọc and chả they put in are authentic and so reminiscent of what I had in Saigon.

Also love that they open until late and that you don’t get the bottom-of-the-pot concentrated salt in your broth even late at night. Certified fresh any given time.“

“The best teriyaki in town and the customer service is amazing“

“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.“

“Great food and the best service .“

“Absolutely delicious. My first time having traditional Japanese Ramen. Huge portions, great umami flavor, affordable prices. Definitely recommend and will be back again“

“Canton Noodle House is a solid spot if you’re craving wonton noodles. The noodles were cooked just right, and the wontons were tasty. We also tried the pork intestine dish, which was well-prepared and flavorful.

Pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get, which makes it even better. Overall, a good experience, and we’ll definitely be back for more.“

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

“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.“

“Been coming here for 8 years. This place is consistently good.

My favorites
Cold noodles
Spicy cold noodles
Fried kimchi dumpling
Steam kimchi dumpling
Red bean dumpling.
Bone broth.

My Korean friend says this place has the best cold noodles and Mandoo in Seattle/ king county. I would agree.“

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

“10/10 great experience + food. The service was the best, especially being helped by Tristan, the manager who helped with this location. He engaged us in a fun n friendly game of number guessing, we talked about football teams and came to a consensus agreement about Raiders being our least favorite haha, the SB halftime show, and overall he delivered such excellent customer service. It was refreshing to receive great service + energy like this, with seldom customer service like this nowadays it seems. Going back to this place a second consecutive night!!“

“Okay, hear me out. I’m very generous on my stars. For teriyaki, I will vote Buxx as the best teriyaki in Seattle, greater Seattle. Many reasons it deserves the 5. It’s like they already know what you’re going to order, because the food comes out so fast no matter how long the wait is. They run a tight crew, I assume. Because it’s been the same people running the place for the 20 years I’ve come here. The prices are great, there are many specials you can choose from if you’re craving for salty & sweet, they have a katsu/teriyaki special. For me, I always get the chicken super combo, for $21, you get the chicken teriyaki, salad & rice, potstickers and an egg roll. The people who run the business are the sweetest people , I think the husband and wife switch off on shifts because they’re always open.“

“Tung Kee Mi Gia holds a special place in my heart, even though I’ve moved away from South Park, Seattle. My sister and brother-in-law are devoted regulars, and today, for Mother’s Day, I took them back for a feast. We had their number 15 combination noodle soup, which was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. They also served us Vietnamese coffee, which was good, though I wished it had a bit more condensed milk—still, a unique take on it.

What keeps me coming back—or at least sending my family there—is the outstanding service. As soon as we sat down, the staff brought us water and tea, and we barely had to wait before our food arrived. The team is quick, attentive, and genuinely warm—something that elevates every visit. It’s a classic example of a neighborhood gem with a big heart.

In addition to the amazing food, Tung Kee Mi Gia is super convenient, with plenty of parking, so it’s easy to get in and out. Despite the small adjustments I might make to the coffee, I still give them five stars—this place is a true standout. If you haven’t been yet, it’s definitely worth the visit!“

“Came for lunch, was seated right away and brought water. Ordered Bun dac biet, and spring rolls. Amazing food, and great service. I highly recommend. (A little sad I didn't order the pho, everyone was getting that and it looked and smelled great!)“

“We had an early dinner yesterday and had such a great experience, from the kind owner, who ran the whole place by herself during that time, to the food, to the cleanliness. Everything was fresh. The place is clean from kitchen to dining area to the restroom.

The food was delicious, but we were in such a rush that I forgot to take photos of the food we ordered: grilled pork banh mi, bun bo hue, and kids pho with tofu. The tofu seemed freshly made. Everything was delicious!

The prices were reasonable and affordable.

We will surely be back to try other dishes as well.“

“My partner and I came in and was impressed by the taste of their pho broth. If you've been to Vietnam or remember mom's homemade pho, this is exactly what I got from this place. Easily my personal favorite restaurant to indulge when I want pho and amazing spring rolls.

Don't let the exterior or interior intimidate you, because their food is amazing. The interior atmosphere is reminiscent to how older Vietnamese restaurants looked like pre-2008 and made me remember fond memories.“

“First time trying Vietnamese food, loved it! The gỏi cuốn chicken spring rolls were fresh and excellent, and the bánh mì chicken sandwiches were really delicious with great flavors and crunch. Food overall was top notch. Thanks for an awesome meal.“

“Just ate here tonight, well to go. Super delicious. We got crab soup dumplings, pork wontons in the hot and sour sauce, pumpkin dumplings, and Dan Dan noodles.

Everything was great. Service was wonderful. People were kind and professional.“

“Hidden spot in a strip of random stores off of East Valley Highway tucked away from visibility serves some of the best authentic Vietnamese food in the area. From traditional family style meals to lunch plates and easy grab and go banh mis, this place doesn’t mis. The OG owner is awesome. He remembers my kids orders, always brings out some sort of drinks and fresh cut fruit to end the meal like the old days. My favorite is the special rice plate. Com Dac Biet but have never had a bad meal here. Where else can you have some pho, Watch playoff basketball and catch wheel of Fortnite all at the same time?“

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

“Pho Hiho delivers a bowl of pho that genuinely surprises you with how clean, comforting, and well-balanced it is. The moment the steam rises from the broth, you can tell this place takes its time, the aroma hits you before the flavor even does.

What really stood out for me is the veggie broth option. A lot of spots treat it like an afterthought, but here? It’s light, flavorful, and honestly tastes even better than some meat-based broths I’ve had elsewhere. If you don’t eat beef, especially for my fellow Hindus who stay away from it, this spot has you covered without compromising taste or experience.

The herbs were fresh, the bean sprouts crisp, and the noodles held their texture perfectly. Add the natural lighting from the window and the calm atmosphere, and it becomes the kind of pho stop you end up coming back to without thinking twice.

Pho Hiho respects its craft, simple, honest ingredients executed well. And if you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy pho while honoring your dietary choices, this is the go-to.“

“I’m so dumbfounded by how delicious their Pho is (I’m literally eating and typing this review). What a gem! Hole in the wall. I am a pick Pho eater and always drive long distance to get Pho. Randomly discovered this place as I drove past, made a U-turn thinking why not?! Felt like I just hit the jackpot. Service can be better but I’m here for this bowl of Pho. Meat is sliced thin and tender. Veggies are fresh. Great broth. And the price is absolutely reasonable. You can’t find a large bowl anywhere for less than $14.“

“I like to think I know good pho from frequently trying Vietnamese restaurants in Westminste, CA.
This place has the best broth. I literally come by here everytime I'm in town for work. I've only ever had the pho but if the broth is this good I'm sure all their dishes are fantastic.“

“To review, this place is meant to eat in groups and be loud and speak to people. Always better to eat fresh, there are several foods that this is a must. Such is the case with any dumpling. If this place is rude to you I would say you deserve it, or if took longer I promise they are making things fresh or something is a process to cook.

Ignore the negative comments these are just unhappy people.

The server is the only one, works 6 days a week. All of the staff is very friendly, especially if you come often and have proper manners. Everyone loves a regular.

The spicy pork long bao are the best dumplings within 50 miles. However they are not for the faint of heart 🔥🥵♨️“

“This spot feels less like a restaurant and more like a community hub. Homey & welcoming.

Coming from the restaurant background, I grew to love food places that have no gimmicks and are true to their standard - Pho Liu is on top of that short list in Seattle.

I go here 3 times a week & they serve consistently high quality pho. The small bowl (pictured) is more than enough & leaves room to try their delicious apps. Fish-sauced wings, spring rolls, egg rolls are all phenomenal.

One way to tell they take care of their craft is how long the noodles can sit in the broth without releasing any starch. Fresh noodles, perfectly cooked, and well strained. Also their bean sprouts and herbs are extremely fresh. Never once have I had soggy or bitter bean sprouts here - which is more common at pho places than you’d think.

The owner family & servers here are great & kind people, as well. The subtle cues are how many regulars I’ve seen on random visits and how well the fish (in the fish tank) are taken care of.

This neighborhood place is truly one of the last pre-tech boom Seattle relics.“

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

“Pork and shrimp crispy rolls“

“Food is good. Limited drink selection. Sodas are in cans. Many things to choose from. We did have one person that had an alergic reaction to something... we do not know which dish. The lights in the bathroom shut off on you, and waving your hands from a stall will not turn them on.“

“go to place for my item Pho#15. Bang for your buck!“
