It’s amazing, it’s wonderful it’s talented. They don’t skip out on the meat or the veggies. It’s quick service and they are very friendly. Love you jenny“

“We ordered beef pho and bun. Both were well made and flavorful. The pho was a little on the salty side but otherwise tasty. The presentation of the food was excellent. They have a very large menu so I hope to return to try a few more things. Service was fast and friendly. Interior get a bit dated but otherwise clean.“

“I don't recommend eating here. A coworker and myself tried the bahn mi and spring rolls one day and they were some of the worst I have eaten; ended up just tossing half my order. My wife tried the pho a day earlier and said it was not that good either. I do have an acquaintance that works close by and eats here often. he agress the bahn mi, spring rolls and pho are not good, but says the rice and noodles dishes are ok.“

“Just had the BBQ pork belly . Everything fresh and quality of the sandwich is outstanding, served with smiles. Lovely spot for delicious Banh mi (baguette with choice of meat and toppings) for a meal. Plus they have delicious Butterfly sunset tea,Black milk tea, Thai tea and fresh smoothies … All my favorite“

“Island Pho – Mercer Island’s Hidden Gem for Comforting Pho
If you’re craving a warm, flavorful bowl of pho, Island Pho on Mercer Island is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
The star of the show is, without a doubt, the pho. The broth is rich, aromatic, and clearly simmered with care—deep layers of flavor that hit all the right notes. Whether you go for the classic beef combo or the tender brisket, each bowl is packed with generous portions of meat, fresh herbs, and perfectly cooked noodles. The balance is just right—nothing overpowers, and everything comes together beautifully.
The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are more than satisfying. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to come back the next day for another bowl. For pho lovers, Island Pho is a comforting, delicious standout on the island.“

“Pretty simple interior with specific kitchen smell but great soup pho in a large bowl (even small one) for good price and with fast serving. Ordered small seafood pho and 2 pork/shrimp spring rolls for only $30. Unfortunately, there was no hot tea which I prefer eith any Asian food. But hot soup worked too. Great place for hungry passers by.“

“Visited Bamboo Restaurant on a quiet Tuesday afternoon ,not crowded, which gave the place a calm, almost unhurried atmosphere. Service was quick, and the food arrived without delay.
I ordered the #14 pho large. The broth leaned toward ginger and lime, with a light oil finish and a subtle hint of cinnamon, a nod to the traditional spice base. However, it lacked the depth and cohesion you’d expect from a properly slow-simmered pho.
Typically, spices like star anise, cloves, and cinnamon should come together in a balanced, layered way , here, they felt slightly disconnected.
The noodles were thin and cooked well, though fairly neutral in flavor. The meats were a strong point , well-seasoned and prepared correctly, adding needed substance to the bowl.
I also tried the chili oil (saté), and this is where things dropped a bit. It had a heavier, more generic profile — lacking the aromatic depth and freshness you’d expect from a well-crafted blend.
It felt closer to a pre-made, store-bought oil rather than something developed in-house, which took away from the overall experience.
The atmosphere was extremely quiet no music, minimal interaction which made the space feel slightly awkward rather than inviting. Small details were also missing, like basic table spices or salt.
That said, there’s a certain honesty to this place. It has a simple, home-style feel: casual, calm, and straightforward.
At around $20 per person, it sits in a range where a bit more refinement in both flavor and experience would elevate it significantly.
A decent spot if you’re looking for something quiet and uncomplicated — but not quite there if you’re after a deeply traditional pho experience.“

“This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves fresh, creative vegetarian food! The salted egg tofu was an absolute standout—crispy on the outside, silky on the inside, and bursting with rich, savory flavor. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients, offering a perfect balance of taste and texture. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“This is are favorite Pho place the best fresh vegetables added to the soup ,today was the first time for happy hour for us“
“I recently tried Papaya Vietnamese Cuisine and I was impressed by the freshness of their ingredients! One standout dish was the Grilled Coconut Chicken on Rice- the chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and had a delicious creamy coconut flavor. The accompanying vinegar sauce paired wonderfully with the sticky rice, adding a nice tangy contrast.
I also ordered their Iced Coffee, which was rich, sweet, and almost dessert-like—ideal for a hot day. I actually got it for a picnic, and it was the perfect refreshing treat!
Overall, a great spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors with fresh, well-prepared dishes.“

“I have ordered take out from here several times. I typically order the steak pho. The pho has good flavor and clean broth. This is not my favorite pho place but the flavor on the steak pho is good enough that I give it a four star. I wish they offered a large size pho, but the regular pho is already pricey, so who knows how much they would charge for a large pho.“

“I'm not too sure about the negative reviews but the girl at the counter was very nice to me. I got a blueberry bubble tea and it was one of the best bubble teas I have ever had. I'm sure the two reviews that are negative must have happened on a day everyone was stressed out that worked in the restaurant and maybe they did get a little snippy but there's no denying that they have very good food and the girl was very sweet to me at the counter. Some of You people act like you've never had a bad day. The dude probably has people try and get four and five bowls of soup at a time on him and with the way cost have gone up on everything I'm sure he is watching the soup like a hawk. I don't blame him.. that's money out of his pocket.“

“Best pho on eastside! Their broth is outstanding, and they have good portions of meat. I think pho places everywhere have had to trim portion sizes due to beef prices, so dont fault them for that. This place is comparatively on the generous size, and the meat is very good quality. 5/5 highly recommend.“

“I stopped by on my lunch to try the pho. I’ve been under the weather and a nice warm bowl of pho is all I wanted.
The lady was quick to place my order. I ordered a small beef pho with meatballs only. The beef pho came with plenty of meatballs, just what I wanted! The broth was delicious, not too salty , warm and comforting. The meatballs were also good as well. I don’t like when there is too much tendon in my meatballs, and there was minimal tendon.
The pho was quick and delicious, perfect for a quick lunch. As well as affordable! The small bowl wqs $12.50.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed the Pho Dac Biet! Very flavorful broth with fresh ingredients. Called in an order to go and the food was finished in exactly the time quoted. Started the meal with egg rolls and finished with the combination fried rice. Updated menu and prices are published. Will go again when I am in this area.“
