Best pho place I've been to! I've visited a few in Seattle and this one is hands down the yummiest! The staff is always familiar and friendly! If I could give them 10 stars I would! And they always play good music!

We love this Pho restaurant! We always get chicken pho for take out and the soup is always still hot when getting home. Also tons of good and fresh ingredients and the only place that actually still adds actual chicken pieces and not any compressed meat.

We came here for a quick lunch bite after getting off the flight from SeaTac airport. The beef pho I got had tons of meat in it for a very filling meal. I did feel a bit thirsty later which probably meant they added MSG into their soup stock. One Star off for that.

My wife and I went back the second time and we liked it. The feedback from the business owner, good customer service, and the delicious noodle soup deserve the Five Stars.
Thank you for doing a great job. I highly recommend this business to anyone. And we will be back to dine here again.

My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time. No one greeted us, so we sat ourselves down. After about ten minutes, when no one came by, we left. The service was poor; sorry, I cannot recommend it.

Ordered the chicken teriyaki and when it arrived it felt too warm… like it’s been microwaved….

Watch your bill!
I got automatically charged high-percentage tip in two separate visits and I will never visit here again.
They will use busy hours as cover, and try to rush you through the payment process. When I see such automatic tip charges on the receipt, it was too late. I only noticed it on the second visit, and then looked back the first receipt and realized the same trick they did on me!

Currently 11:25pm. Just got off a 14 hour shift trying to find something to eat to go inside and be told they only take cash. Now I have to find another place. Disappointing...

So glad we found this spot! Food was delicious. The pho is super generous, and the rice dishes were excellent.
The restaurant is also spotless, and the staff is very friendly. It’s also super easy to get to from the airport (we stopped both flying in and flying out).

It’s been a while since we’ve eaten here but we’ve eaten here for 20years. So disappointed. I couldn’t eat my chicken teriyaki. It was a weird cut of meat in a gravy, the salad was horrible. My Vietnamese coffee was the best along with the rice! $50 meal, unfortunately won’t return…🤷♀️

Favorite Vietnamese noodle shop, huge portions and great taste, will definitely be back
I really wanted to love this place - reminds me of my own family restaurant. Food’s allegedly good (only ordered takeout for my girlfriend), but it was death by a thousand cuts in all other aspects.
I ordered #22. The item reads grilled pork with egg. The lady at the register asked “what meat?.” Dumbfounded I asked “what would you recommend, cô?” to which she said “No idea. You choose.” Then you know I went with it and said “I’d love grilled pork please.” It was 7:05p after all (they close at 8p), and perhaps it’d been a long day. She then said “eggs or no eggs - eggs extra.” Alright? I reiterated that I ordered #22 which includes a fried egg. The POS system then showed a laundry list of add-ons - what stood out were a container fee, a bag fee, and an item price higher than what’s listed on the paper menu. I didn’t confront about it, only a few dollars extra after all.
The lady said “10 minutes” and walked away. It took them 15+. Keep in mind, there were only 3 tables occupied at the time - all 3 already had food out.
What struck me the most is that the ultimate sign of respect as a Vietnamese is to speak Vietnamese to an older person, to which I did to the lady at the counter. She insisted on speaking English - no problem, but she looked at me as if I belittled her by speaking Viet and then treated me worse for it. When she brought the food out, she put it on the table & slid it across to where I was seated & turned away to the other table to clean up. No words exchanged. No thank you.
Writing this review as I’m waiting for the food because it’s bewildering to see this behavior in 2024. Reading other reviews, it seems that other people were prejudiced against in other ways.
The rice plate stands on its own merit - I hope the owner here understands the business could go far simply with better customer service, already facing stiff competition being next to Bai Tong & YGF Malatang.
