Popped in for a late lunch with my husband and sister. It was within the hour of closing time, so we were just going to order to go, but the woman welcomed us right in to sit down. The food was a normal wait for dine in. My sister got a veggie pho (which was packed with veggies), I got the special pho (has everything in it because I do enjoy tendon and tripe), and my husband got a banh mi (was the most loaded banh mi I have ever seen). All of the food was really good. It was nice that there was no up charge for more meats and makes me wonder how much meat they would give if you ordered a pho with just one type. The large pho was around $18 from what I remember. I always forget to take pictures. The inside was cozy. There was both music and a drama playing on the tv. The woman didn't rush us at all, but made sure we were topped up with water. There was one person who came in to order to go (which they got pretty quickly) while we were there, but otherwise it was empty. Would definitely come again, whether to dine in or order out. Also, the google menu is incorrect, there are much more than just two options for pho. read more

I stopped into Hot Pho to get my Vietnamese Ice Coffee. Hot Pho is located in a small strip mall with decent parking. The interior is simple and plain. Vietnamese house music is playing throughout the place. One TV showing life in Vietnam. Two separate men & women restrooms. This review is only for the coffee. It was bold, strong, with a good sweetness. Though, I wish it was colder, but she made it freshly filtered. read more

Picked up a pork banh mi and spring rolls for lunch. The sandwich was large. It had a big portion of pork which was moist. It also had two fried eggs. The veggies were cucumbers, slivers of carrots and lettuce in a Mayo based sauce. The banh mi was flavorful with every bite. The Spring Rolls were also a nice size. Inside was vermicelli noodles, shrimp and lettuce. It came with a cup of peanut sauce to dip them in. Overall,'the food was excellent and the portion size was good for the price. read more

Excellent food. Tastes very authentic. I ordered thit heo com with singh to dua. That's fried pork & rice with a mango smoothie. It was very good. The people here are super friendly and they were very attentive. I am not in this area often but I will stop in from now on. read more

Had a worm in my bowl of pho. Maybe silk worm? When I told the staff they tried to convince me it was star anise. Like bruh, I know what star anise looks like and that is not it. Language barrier was not the issue here. Gross. Hygiene issues are the worst. read more

Loved it, definitely go check it out! Warm and inviting, food is amazing and well priced.

This was an amazing place. The owners were so attentive. We were in town for a basketball tournament and they were so family friendly! Love

I waited to go to break made a order pulled up there and they told me that I called the wrong store I proceeded to call the same number. I ordered on and their number rang there. She picked the phone up in front of me and I said yeah it's me calling to make sure I called the same place. They didn't say they have no order for me when I had spoken to her on the phone and they have placed my order. They wasted my time, wasted my break. read more

This place is the best if you want pho soup. Nice and clean, good decor, spacious restaurant. Owners are very kind and friendly, always smiling and greeting all customers. English is not so strong, but I dont care, as long as food is good and fresh. Never had bad pho here. Always fresh, from soup to veggies that come with it. This is the only place now I come to get pho and when I need a quick snack of spring rolls for lunch. Those are the best, always fresh and whoever makes them, doesn't skip on shrimp. The only thing I would like change is I want to listen to authentic Vietnamese music and not a modern western music. I want to thank the business owners for their hard work (its hard to run a restaurant. I am grateful we have a great variety of restaurants around here and someone willing to do it). read more

Hard to argue with the name: The pho was fast to the table. but way too hot, which made me wait, and the meat became over cooked. As long as it took to cool, it didn't make up for the 15 minutes waiting for a bubble tea The woman was rushing everything, even though the place wasn't that busy. The pho was ok, once cooled. But, there are way too many pho places around to have slow, rude service for nothing special pho read more

Hugh portion for a good price. Their pho is piping hot unlike some other places where it's like warm. Great customer service. Owner is very warm and welcoming. Very accommodating to customers. If you are thinking of a large pho dac biet make sure your extra hungry otherwise other one for 2 people read more

My last review was from 3 years ago. This joint is down the street from work for me. I thought really hard and decided to give this place another chance to see if there were some improvements from the last time. Seems like this is a husband and wife business. I called in my order and a nice lady took my order. I ordered a special pho and an order of fresh rolls with shrimp. I brought the food back to work and opened the box with the fresh rolls. Behold... the rolls were opened like a taco. The rice paper was torn on both rolls. I was a bit upset because it defeats the purpose. I tried to hold it sternly like a taco so nothing came out, but it was a little difficult. The second roll, I just ate the shrimp and called it good. I'm not sure if they knowingly do this for to go orders... or maybe the rice paper just breaks after it's made..? I saw this happen to someone on an earlier post... but just thought it was a 1 time thing. The pho broth was nice and hot, and there was plenty of meat in the box. For me, the broth could of used a lot more flavors. It was more on the bland side. My order did come with utensils and hoisin and siracha packets instead of little plastic containers like most places. I'd have to say their customer service is good. The decor is clean, simple, and spacious. I just think they need to improve on their flavors. Then again, that's just me, but compared to all the other pho I've had, theirs would be toward the bottom of my list. My star rating stays the same, simply because of the food and their service. They seem like very nice folks, and I'd love to support local businesses, but it's hard when I disagree with the food. read more

Took the gang out to grab brunch. Of course, half way to the restaurant my son fell asleep in the car. So, I called them ahead to order take outs. Got us an order of pork patty rolls, combination banh mi, combination pho and combination rice plate. The lady told me 15 minutes. OK, deal! Got there within 10 minutes, so I waited in the car. Came in 5 minutes later, which is 15 minutes, right? She said it's not ready yet. All good, went out in the car waited some more. Took them about 25 minutes to get the whole order done, all good, I understand, I got 4 orders on my plate. BUT....there wasn't anyone else she's serving, and it was around lunch time!! What was the hold up?! Then as I was paying, I fired up my nifty, little restaurant.com app where I had purchased this 2 months ago, it says, "Spend $30 from Monday-Thursday, get $15 off." And today IS Thursday! The lady goes, "We don't accept that. Everybody comes here with that certificate and we don't accept it." DAFUQ!?! Am I trippin' or is everyone else feelin' the same when they got rejected from the restaurant lady? If you don't honor it, then don't pay your advertisement on restaurant.com!!!!! Nuff said, all good, I paid for my meals. I got kids to feed and they hungry! Pork rolls were good it came in two rolls, I like the sauce, my daughter loves it. The banh mi was ok, they didn't warm it up like the other banh mi spots, lacking on the butter spread, my daughter thought it was yummy. The rice plate was not bad, my son ate a lot of it, so at least he thought it was satisfying. Pho was above average, but not great. Both my daughters said it was delicious! Well, that was the first trip to this restaurant and probably will be the last trip. It didn't knock me off my feet. Just sayin... read more

As an Oregonian, we have very good pho spots and this place was two out of 10. The Thai tea was out of a can tasted like chocolate milk. Before was the only thing that was a two out of 10 you can imagine the drinks definitely not coming here ever again I got wraps and the wrapping look like my two-year-old had wrapped it. read more

Woke up to snow this morning and cold. For lunch I wanted soup and Pho was the ticket. I found this place while driving by. It is located in a strip mall. There was only one other group eating when I arrived which is a red flag to me. I want a restaurant that is busy during lunch time. I ordered the Spring roll Appetizer and the Combination Pho. The spring rolls were very good. The Pho did not have as much protein as I expected. The flavor was good and I was full when finished. One of the reasons the place was so empty was it was very cold. Turn up the heat during the winter. I will try this place again but only when I am here during the warmer months. read more

Hot Pho - First time here. - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

When I walked in to this little place it had all the right signals: 1) Waving cat 2) Cute cheezy decor 3) Lucky bamboo and other plants 4) Great slow-dance traditional Vietnamese music 5) Tiny woman in charge with big voice! Trust me, this is what you want to see. This is legit. We ordered bun (V6 on their menu) and got pork, spring roll & vermicelli with lettuce & typical vegs. The pork was marinated well and good quality, the vegs were fresh, and the eggroll/springroll was excellent. Even the nouc mam (the sweet sour fish sauce) was noticeably different & good! I suddenly realized I hadn't had good sauce in a long while. We're coming back! They like if you call ahead, also, which is great. read more

Delicious food and great service. So glad we tried this place -- will definitely be back!

I'd like to highlight the humbleness of this pho restaurant. Two elderly couple that run this restaurant and they were so kind to me. The lady was extremely friendly and having lunch here was enjoyable. The location is great for lunch time. I ordered the pho dac biet and a Vietnamese coffee. First thing is that I had to try the broth. That's how you know if it's a great place if the broth is on point. It absolutely is. Tastes just like grandmas cooking. The Vietnamese coffee is great! Not super sweet but absolutely perfect and the mixture of the dark and semi sweet texture. The cleanliness is spot on. They take COVID precautions really carefully. If you're in Kent, definitely try this place. read more

Hot Pho - 1. FRESH Spring Rolls- Shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

This place has been open for few years and each time drive by they were closed. Today, we saw that they are open. So, we want to try it. I had tendon pho and vegetables. My wife had grilled beef and shrimp vermicelli. We ordered fried ton fu for appetizers. Overall, the food is alright. The fried ton fu on the menu showed some seasoning and condiments on it, but when it came it was plain ton fu fried. The vermicelli lacked flavor and the beef were really tough. The pho lack flavor as well. I dumped lots of their chili peppers and still lack flavor. The waitress tried very to provide good customer service but she lacks the skills. But she was very apologetic. The restroom was not new but it looked cleaned and sanitized. Happy to see that. read more

OK so where do I start. This place has great food at a fair price. I love their vermicelli bowls with pork. The meat is flavorful and the spring roll and vegetables are spot on. My wife, son and I have had their sandwiches too and they are great. I have no idea why a reviewer says they are not flavorful... They pack flavor. These beat the ones I get in the international district and Tacoma. Try the pork or chicken. I really suggest folks give it a try and be patient when you order, as the owner tries her best at english but it is obviously not her first language. I go here at least once a month and have enjoyed all of my meals here. Please give them a try you wont be disappointed. read more

This is the best pho restaurant I've tried out of 15 places I've gone. The people are very friendly and kibd. ***be patient with them when ordering they are trying their best. Give them a chance. People make mistake** They provide the best service they can provide. The serving size is better then any other place and its not expensive. You can check google review also since I posted other pictures there. The food is fresh. Every vegetable they use is very fresh with large proportion. Any fried order is fresh. Very delicious. I come here every week. Highly reccomend this place. My friends started coming here also. read more

Hot Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

Food poisoning! I hate to even write this because this was becoming a great spot to enjoy my soup but never again. I went to get the steak pho soup on Saturday, August 14. Additionally, the last two times I had pulled up to grab a bite to eat. I suddenly just started feeling super sick both times nauseous so note that. Iordered and intended to say and eat but I took it to go. The wife is very sweet and very kind. She has great customer service. The husband/cook doesn't come out to speak to the customers, which I get, but he came out and gave me a very strange look, just as I was pouring my soup in the to go bowl, and it made me feel very odd. I feel odd, because why would he look at his customer that way and make me feel uncomfortable, then again, maybe he's just not the friendly type. Whatever the case may be, I became extremely sick soon after we left this location within 30 minutes of eating the soup. I was at home projectile vomiting. I felt overall sick, stomach pains, extremely bad, excruciating pain in my stomach, back pain, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and I was so sleepy. I've never had food poisoning before, and I could not figure out what was going on with me. I was woke up out of my sleep still with severe cramping and diarrhea for three days straight. I literally was out sick from work for two days and the only one day I was able to go, I slept at work in the break room at the hospital. My daughter was with me and didn't want soup but she took a bite or two of mine and she ended up feeling the same way that day. I don't know if this is intentional or accidental, but whatever the case, eat at your own risk. read more

Great place with delicious food. Banh Mi was definitely fresh and yummy. Great family restaurant!

I ordered 2 large rare beef Pho and loopia way over priced double the price. I eat Pho soup a lot this tasted like dirty sink water. The meat was in already , not fresh tasted old and dry. I asked for extra vegetables was told that was $5 all in all double the price...70 cents for water ... twenty percent of the quality I would not recommend this place.....left the meal at the table...Servicer not nice at all...took some of the meat for my friends dog ...THE DOG DIDN'T EVEN WANT THE MEAT......Save yourself some money and time....open a pack of top ramen at home and enjoy... read more

My Vietnamese sandwich was falling apart, they slathered a ton of regular Mayo on it and they put romaine lettuce on it which Ive never seen before. The spring rolls I also got were basically exploded because they overstuffed with noodles but barely any shrimp and my pho didn't have much flavor just tasted like salt water. read more
