Don't bother with veggie pho - They charge $13 for a small pho with only tofu, then charge an extra $3 to put in celery and a couple small pieces of carrot and broccoli. No snap peas as the menu states. $16 for a small veggie pho is absurd and the broth is quite bland. Meat portion in the "i love pho" was lacking, broth was fairly tasty, lots of noodles. Wouldn't recommend. read more

It was our first visit to I Love Pho in Factoria. It was our first time eating pho (fuh) albeit our son had done both. The place was comfortable well lit with an easy to understand menu and had an attentive pleasant staff. Pho is a delicious Vietnamese noodle soup served with several different meats seafood noodles and yummy other ingredients. Known for their Pho however they offered rice dishes chow mein meat and seafood plates salad as well as appetizers and beer. We started with their potsticker appetizer while our pho was being prepared. My wife and son awaited their eye round and brisket beef broth pho and I opted for their chicken broth pho. My son also ordered a banh mi Vietnamese sandwich for a later snack. Our bowls quickly arrived along with three Sapporo beers that made great accompaniment. We were also served a condiment plate of fresh basil sprouts jalapeños and lime to add as wanted. There were also pepper sauce and other add ons on the table. The sign says I Love Pho. We get it. We loved ours! Rich smooth full of rice noodles and other goodies with great flavor and quiet filling (I had the small). Folks I highly recommend this little jewel in Factoria and if you have not tried pho...go do it. We're hooked. Very satisfied, Ricardo y Julia read more

The coconut fried rice is a bit strange to me. It is flavorless, mushy and greasy. Not only it is lack of coconut flavor, I think the chef forgot to sprinkle salt in the process. Their soda is also very weird. I know, right? How can soda possibly go wrong??? It is served from a soda machine and I taste nothing but chlorine water?? read more

I Love Pho - Coconut chicken fried rice... no flavor at all. - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Quality continues to go downhill. I feel like every time I have less meat and more noodles. We used to eat here about once a week and find ourselves choosing other options more. The broth is still excellent. I know prices are going up everywhere but when I'm paying more and getting less, it's disappointing. Even an extra side of broth has gone up and I've started getting a smaller order of that! read more

I like this place of good location. fried shrimp is crispy and good for appetizer. Prawns fried rice is very fresh and great. It is a my favorite food here. Lemon grass beef with vegetables was fresh and tasty but beef was not tender. read more

Friendly staff, very helpful that they do online orders! Beef pho broth is really tasty & love the affordable lunch sandwiches.

In person for pho this place is good and is even recommend it BUT do not and I repeat DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT/delivery. Who has heard of Pad Thai with ONLY tomatoes and a lemon instead of a lime?????? Cheap!!! Either someone in the kitchen is untrained or lazy but either way they should not be cooking Thai food! ordered 2 pad Thais and BOTH only had tomatoes and a lemon! Noodles were not totally cooked on either one. Ordered 2 coconut rice one with prawns. Coconut rice had tasteless tofu but otherwise was ok. Second rice was just fried rice with shrimp-NOT coconut rice. Totally Oily and totally tasteless. Ordered green beans and chicken .it came with white rice not brown. Chicken Was rubbery slices , green beans ok. Can't do anything about it after the fact but opening this meal up after it was delivered was angering! read more

I eat a ton of pho and I have my standards. I went here today and the pho was really good. The broth is perfect. Not too crazy and not too mellow if you know what I mean. It was just right. They also have a really good chili oil. Pretty sure it was homemade and not from a can. I'll be coming here for pho when I'm on the east side. Definitely recommend this place. I'll be back! read more

I have been coming here ever since I moved to the area. Great service and they treat my family well. It is my go to pho spot. read more

I'm surprised this place only has 3.5 stars on Yelp, it was really good! The shrimp skewers were packed with flavor and the beef pho was delicious. On top of that the service was great and the people were really friendly and helpful! I am definitely going to be coming back!! read more

We ordered two noodle soups and a chow fun for delivery. Unfortunately everything was very bland and lacking in flavor, which is a disappointment considering the price. You could add your own salt but you shouldn't have to. read more

Very mediocre pho. The soup lacks flavours and they can be more generous on the meat. We had the I Love Pho (Pho A) with briskets, meatball, rare beef, tendon and supposedly more stuffs but kinda disappointed at how little meat it has. The Beef Saigon Noodles are okay. Very generous for the meats and veggies but it's a little too sweet for me. I do like the texture of the noodles though. Would not get the Fried Chicken Wings, they are very dry and again lacks flavours. read more

I. Overall: Good Menu Selections, Good Ambience, Good Service and Good Food... II. Disclaimer: I have bot been paid or compensated to write or share this review by anyone in any way, shape or form III. The Food: For a Pho joint they have a good selection of Noodles and that too Chowmein Style (Egg Noodles), Chow Fun Style (wide noodle) and Saigon Style (Thick noodle) along with so many varieties of Fries Rice (Regular or Coconut) in addition to Pho. We ordered... - Vegetarian Pho with Imitation Beef - Meatball Pho - Chow Mein with Fried Tofu - Vegetable Dumplings - Coconut and Pineapple Pearl Tapoica Drink - Thai Iced Tea Everything tasted good and the Pho broth was good. This does take 3rd place for me in all of Seattle when it comes to Pho with 'Hot as Pho' at #1, Yummy Pho at #2 and this at #3 IV. Service and Ambience: - Service: The Staff and Hosts were very attentive toward their customers and did a great job.. - Ambience: The decor is comfortable and several notches above basic, the location is super convenient and accessible V. Pricing: The total was on the higher side for in comparison to what someone would pay for. For three people the total was ~$60 but nothing uncomfortable. All in all a good place... read more

Have been here couple of times and it's a decent place. First time I ordered chicken pho and have never eaten a bad tasting chicken before. Chicken was like a wood bark so bland and chewy . Never again I am ordering pho here as I don't eat beef and pork . Rest of the time I ordered different entrees and ever single time I loved it. I have taken garlic shrimp/ chicken, chicken chow mein/coconut rice so far and everything tasted amazing. The spice was right and the coconut was so flavorful, would suggest a 4 * as 5 becomes way too spicy if you are a spice lover. Service is fast and it's tricky to get seated for if you are big crowd as they have only 2 large tables so wait time gets more. If it helps my other friend mentioned their pork vermicelli bowl was too good. read more

Would give this place a 3.5. The inside is really spacious and has tables for large parties too. The service is relatively quick, but could improve in hospitality. They gave us our check maybe 2 minutes after we got the food, so I guess they were trying to be extra efficient or something haha. They have other items like vermicelli, stir fry, etc. My friend and I both opted for the pho. They have beef, chicken, and vegetarian broth options, so a plus for vegetarians. I got the small chicken pho in chicken broth and my friend got the large "I love pho", which is beef broth pho with an assortment of meat cuts. The small size portion-wise was more than enough for me. Surprisingly, the large bowl didn't seem that much bigger than the small. The broth was flavorful, but the chicken was overcooked and tough, and didn't have much flavor. I definitely had to eat the chicken with some hoisin sauce on top. Overall it's your average pho place, where I'd be fine eating here again. But food-wise it doesn't really stand out from other Vietnamese restaurants. read more

The menue was hard to read, and they had some items on the napkin box instead of the menu. The curry was sweet and bland, similar to senior home food. If you're interested in food with sharp flavor I would recommend anywhere but here. The room is warm and welcoming. Overall this place is okay, but I don't see myself coming back. read more

I Love Pho - This is the curry tofu after being mostly eaten - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This is my first time here. I saw a "good" condition sign and very few customers in busy dinner time. We ordered signature "I love Pho" and we're not impressed by the food. The meat ball was tasted sour and not fresh. The quantity and quality of food were below other Pho places. read more

This was our first visit to I Love Pho and we had a great experience. We ate the tofu banh mi and pork banh mi and both were delicious. The baguettes were fresh and warm with a nice crispy crust and the tofu and pork were deliciously seasoned. The do chua had just the right amount of sweet and sour and added lots of freshness and crunch. We ordered in person and service was great. Our order was ready in less than 10 minutes. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is awesome! I've never been to a restaurant with such speedy service! As we were being seated, another waiter had our ice waters at the table as we were sitting down. I like to order the brisket pho, and it is delicious every time! I do wish that they served a slightly larger portion of fresh veggies to put in the broth. They only give one plate of veggies even if two people order pho. Can't wait to come back and try the short ribs! read more

This is my go to place for pho. I always get I love pho and it never disappointed. I must have had it 30 times

**Review based on Banh Mi Sandwhiches** We are on the hunt for the 'ultimate' Vietnamese sandwich in the Eastside area! Nansay suggested 'I Love Pho' since it is literally walking distance from our apartment....buuuut of course we would simply drive to obtain our Vietnamese sandwiches faster I got the "Dac-Biet" which is their Vietnamese ham sandwich, and Phily got their Marinated Beef Sandwich. RATING: Okay at best, but not great. PRICE WORTHY? Dac-Biet (Vietnamese ham) sandwich was $4.00. The Marinated Beef was $5.00 (it's the only sandwich priced a dollar higher than the others). We would say this is the average price for a vietnamese sandwich. BEST QUALITIES OF SANDWICH: My Vietnamese ham sandwich had a good amount of cured pork on it. The pate was smooth and velvety. Phily's marinated beef was quite delicious. Tender, and had a tinge of sweetness to the meat. The sandwich size was also pretty perfect to make you full enough, but not overly full. LACKING QUALITIES: Phily's Marinated Beef was desperately in need of more...marinated beef! We were surprised when he opened up his sandwich, and all the marinated beef was sparingly placed in the middle of the sandwich. We felt the pickled vegetables didn't taste quite...right. They seemed not as fresh or flavorful in comparison to other Vietnamese sandwiches we have tried in the past. If you're not into spicy flavors, I would definitely suggest asking to take out the jalapenos. Phily is really into spicy foods, but even this was too much! They keep all the seeds in their jalapenos slices...which really adds heat to the sandwich. Also, Phily found a full thick cilantro stem in his sandwich. Not to sound like a stickler, but those stems shouldn't end up in the sandwich! WOULD WE GO BACK? Honestly, yes. The only reason being is convenience. Since it's so close by, I might drop by just to satisfy my appetite, or a quick lunch run for work. read more

This place was fantastic. They were prompt, courteous, and above all delicious! During this social distancing, they still took my order and I was able to pick up my food. Everything was hot and flavorful. The spice was just right. You know some of the restaurants ask what you want your spice level to be and it's either way too hot or not spicy enough? I love Pho got it just right! The egg rolls and the sauce were the business!!!!! Omg, perfect blend of sweet and savory. Keep up the good work! read more

I Love Pho, especially when the staff takes extra special care in recognizing me when I visit and remembering my standard order! Service here is always pleasant and efficient. It's almost amazing how quickly orders are submitted, then delivered to your table. Pho servings are generous and the grilled pork banh mi is a delicious & hard-to-beat choice at $4. The menu has several options. I've sampled many of them and enjoyed them all. A couple of must-try items: Cube Steak and rice, Crispy Chicken with Broccoli. read more

"It's good pho you." Really, I Love Pho? Really? OK, OK. It's not their fault and they're not alone. Pho puns abound in the world around us today. But, man, they're not fun. And, yes, I refuse to spell that "phon." It IS, though, a clean, well-lit, well-organized place with multiple flat screens. Almost a sports bar with the number of TVs. Not all showing sports, but, still, it has that sensibility to it that you can come in and hang out for a while if they don't need to flip the table. They seem to have embraced every popular Americanized dish from all the major asian restaurant traditions--there's some phad thai, and a few other delights from places other than Viet Nam. But the bulk of the menu is banh mi, pho, and vermicelli bowls, with helpful photos laminated and pinned to the wall. It's kind of a mix of upscaled and homey that way--nice furniture and flat screens, nice dining room, but, then, they, look...laminates on the wall, too. The service is fast and efficient; they're always keeping an eye on every table and moving from here to there quickly to make sure things are being taken care of. The food comes out and it's fine. The usual tea pot with the usual tea bag. The pho is a little hazy, not quite cloudy. Nice savory aroma, but fairly subdued. Fades pretty quickly. All the ingredients were in awesome shape, fresh and flavorful, but overall the recipe lacked depth and complexity in flavor (obviously primarily the broth). Still, all peppered up with red, green, and black peppers working together in harmony, it made for a tasty meal. I'd recommend Square Lotus over this place 100 times out of 100, but it's perfectly fine if you don't feel like waiting or can't find parking. read more

I've been here numerous times and the pho is average but the last time I went with my bf the pho was cold and made him sick so he gave it a bad review. One of the employees messaged him and told us to come back and he would give us a free bowl on the house. We went back for lunch earlier today and to my dismay the pho was cold again -____- or Luke warm I should say but I like my pho hot when it comes out. It was quite bland as well. I also ordered the fried tofu appetizer which was pretty good but soggy in the middle. All and all I think this place is a below average pho place. I like the atmosphere and the help is nice but I would rather go right down the street to square lotus and get a bowl of pho that is 10X better then here. read more

I Love Pho - Fried tofu and my bf eating pho ^.^ - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Great food, served quick and it is inexpensive too. Many pho places offer a few soups. I Love Pho has beef, chicken and vegetable soups. You can also add additional meat or vegetables to everything on the menu. In addition to pho there are rice dishes, noodle dishes, meat based dishes and vegetarian options. The vegetarian chow fun is especially wonderful. Eat in and take out available. read more

We went here on a Thursday during lunch hour. I'm pretty suprised it was crouded, but a short wait. The interior is nice, and the food was excellent. We only ordered pho, and everything came out pretty quickly based on the number of people there. The price was $7.00 for a small bowl of pho, and $8.15 for a large bowl of pho. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5, because of the higher price of pho compared to other restaurants. We will be back to try their other Vietnamese cuisine, and recommend this place for pho to other people. read more

Good every time we get food from I Love Pho. We get both Pho and their pork chop and rice dish. All is really good and a good value!

My family comes here all the time. Always love the food. Always quick, broth is great, always the same. But the one time my dad ordered pork chop it was hard and chewy. And my dad couldn't eat it. He told the server. The server "basically" said next time don't order it. Granted we got a new one but somehow it felt like it was our fault. Lol. I get it restaurant's aren't always perfect, I don't expect above and beyond expirience but that one expirence just left a bad taste. Otherwise. Food, good. read more

I'm back, I Love Pho, and I'm dearly sorry I ever questioned our relationship. Yes I admit it. A couple of times instead of heading to I Love Pho, I satisfied my pho craving at neighboring Square Lotus. Three times to be exact. During my third rendezvous at Square Lotus I realized the grave mistake I had made. The broth was miserable. Not enough limes, hot sauce or hoisin could mask it. So as I sit slurping my umpteenth bowl of chicken pho at I Love Pho, I do solemnly swear to never cheat on I Love Pho ever again. (Only in the Factoria area... 5-mile radius I'm free game). read more

Beef broth is very good. But very small amount of meat comparing to most places ,but same price. We had the pho called: ILOVEPHO and paid extra because it had few ingredients but nothing special just meat, tripe and tendon. (Most places thats nothing they charge extra for its just one of the choices).. I laughed when i found two tiny pieces of tendon in the whole soup. I can go up to Kirkland to a way nicer area and pay same price but actually dont have to search for tendon in the soup because u can just see it. Giving 3 stars because the chicken in their ban mi is fresh and grilled but also very small ammount. Would be much better if they dont skimp on meat in their dishes. read more

The behemoth serving size + the freshly slaughtered/chopped quality make I Love Pho's dishes a true DEAL. Our table had the Pho Tai, Pho Ga, Gyoza & Beef Salad. The broth was excellent, beef attractively rare, Gyoza golden bubbly, chicken cooked just right, and the beef salad made me gasp with it's girth and variable toppings...especially the grilled shallots + garlic. Absolutely nothing on the table, not even the garnish, looked less than immediate fresh. Weird. Service was FAST, water was filled, Muzak was slow jams...which I would normally shirk from, but the meat...the sauce...these little things made it ok to have Debarge yodeling at me. I avoid most strippermall Pho, but this is so convenient, I tested the waters & not sorry. Going back Pho Sho. read more

Has been our go to place for Pho since 2006. Then in July of this year they went and changed up their Pho broth. It went from tasting like what my mom used to make as i was growing up to a darker and more oddly spiced up kinda broth. Why, they decided to change it up is beyond me...new cook? Nevertheless, the only reason to go to this place was as the restaurant is aptly named is Pho! Occasionally i would order the other menu items and they were good but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there for those items. Tooo BAD, it was the BEST Pho place in town.... read more

Being one of only two places to get pho, I Love Pho has been a staple in the Factoria area for years. The interior is modern and clean and almost always busy. We came in around 1:30 on a Sunday, and every table was full. The weight is never long, however, because the service is so quick and efficient, and with the weather getting colder, it feels so good to quickly scarf down the warm broth. There isn't much to say about this place. It's just normal pho. The portions are a bit small for the price -- $9 for a small, which might be the smallest small bowl I've seen at a pho place. There just isn't anything that makes this place stand out, other than being the only place. If you're craving pho, there really isn't any other option if you want to stay near Factoria. The service is quick, but not overly friendly. You probably won't be blown away, but you won't be disappointed either. read more
