A banh mi and an iced coffee for $15 (before tax and tip)... What more can one really ask for in life?

Got lucky at Lucky's. Until now, I've never seen a pho place with a condiment bar. Want fresh jalapenos or Thai basil or bean sprouts in your pho? Serve yourself! There's also all the chili crisp you can eat. I'm dead inside, so chili crisp is a delicious addition to any of their dishes. If you get pho, it comes out quick. I got their #3 pho - beef, meatball, and tendons. First sip of the broth was a whopper: it was a tad saltier than I'd like. However, after adding veggies and mixing, the saltiness was less noticeable. But ignoring the salt, the broth hit the spot (most important!) and was tasty to the last sip. Lucky! Besides pho, they also have banh mi (looked delish) and vermicelli bowls. (I'll be back to try a sandwich!) The dining room has light seating, and it's clean and pleasant. Friendly service.

Broth tasted so comforting, was a little salty but I liked it! The place is decorated very neatly and I liked their accents of green. You can customize your toppings they had jalapenos, limes, basil, and bean sprouts, and water. I liked how they had everything sorted. Serving was friendly! read more

The pho here is amazing! I got a Thai tea, brisket, steak and tendon bowl, and my partner got a veggie bowl. The broth is delicious and they gave me plenty of toppings and noodles! I like how they have a self serve station for sauces, fix ins (sprouts, limes etc) and a water dispenser. Service was pretty quick after ordering. You order at the counter first and then after ordering you are allowed to pick a table. I came New Year's Day right at opening and it was packed but I was still able to get a table right after ordering! Decor here is cute and green which is very claiming. read more

Lucky's Pho - The Tofu Spring Roll (with 1 peanut sauce)* - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Lovely pho place. Cant wait to go back on a moody rainy day in seattle. The atmosphere is very inviting. It's an order at the counter, self serve toppings sort of place and its just how I like it! I love being able to pick out how much of each topping i would like in my pho. The pho flavor was very delicious, as someone who has recently been to Vietnam, I can attest to it tasting true to the source. read more

Finally came to try this place after passing by it a lot. Portion sizes were generous. The service was super friendly and speedy. It was pretty busy but everything came out fast. Interior is clean and spacious. Got the shrimp spring rolls and they were good. The peanut sauce was extra peanut buttery. Also both got #3s and the brisket was the best part. The broth flavor was soooo good but my noodles were a little soggier than i like it. Also got the hawaiian lemonade and i would say this is pretty unique as I haven't seen it at other places. Lemonade with pineapple juice and lihing powder. Would come back! read more

Best pho in the area by far and I've tried quite a few places. The service is fast and the restaurant is clean. Sometimes there is a small wait for a table as the restaurant is small but it's normally not very long. read more

I love this spot. Order at the front, take a number to your table and wait for the goodness to arrive. I ordered the vermicelli noodle bowl with tofu, it was everything I look for in a vermicelli noodle bowl-hearty, flavorful, and fresh. The service is great, water is available at the front, the restaurant is spotless. Nice people here, we'll return. read more

The pho is tasty! A bit on the salty side for me though. Wouldn't say it's the best pho but it's pretty good for seattle i think. They're also pretty skimpy on the meat and the meatballs were more like meat slices which is interesting We had to stand around to wait for a table after ordering but the wait wasnt long for a holiday. Just felt like we were in the way while standing since there's not much room inside read more

Lucky's Pho - 1. Beef Pho (Pho Chin) * - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Food was delicious, service was top notch and ambiance was just fine for some pho. The Beef Pho Chin was excellent, what took it to the next level was their incredible peanut chili oil (all flavor, minimal spice). The side cart of lime, been sprouts and mint helped too I also got to try the Beef Banh Mi. This was delicious!! Loved everything about it, especially the garlic mayo Lastly I had their Hawaiian Lemonade. Again delicious and another item I'd recommend to order. If I was a local to the area, I'd be here weekly read more

Solid pho spot. I've only ever done take out. I like that they have a variety of Vietnamese dishes and not just pho. Sometimes I'm not feeling a big bowl of pho with all the noodles. So I'll get a banh mi and a side of pho broth for sipping and dipping. It's a nice combo! Their broth is on the sweeter side to me. But still very good. I recommend if you're looking for pho in Fremont! read more

Thee best pho in Seattle; also bahn mi, so yummy! Staff is very nice and I received my order quickly!

Pho-king amazing! Tried the Bahn-Mi and the number 1 pho. Both delicious. Too delicious. So full. Will be back!

Great value and quick, friendly service. This is a very solid and above average pho and banh mi spot if you live in the area. The pho is flavorful, and I love the small fresh herbs and sauce bar they have. The prices are very reasonable for the area too. read more

Love this pho place!! The broth is good and comes out piping hot! The toppings bar is such a great idea..first time I've seen that and it just makes sense! It's an easy and fast place to get your pho fix. Cute bathroom too lol read more

Unlike other pho places, Lucky's is more of a self-served restaurant where you pay for your order up front, find your own table, and even getting your own greens of choice (bean sprouts, basil, lime), but they bring out the dishes to you. I came here on Sunday right after they opened, and it was already pretty crowded. The service was very quick though. I was able to get my pho within minutes after I ordered. I got the #5 which had a mix of beef. It was delicious! I'm usually not a soup person but the broth was very good. It was rich in flavor but not too greasy. The beef wasn't the best quality but solid. I'd come back and try their bahn mi and iced viet coffee! read more

Lucky's Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

In my opinion, this place smells better than it tastes. We came for a late lunch to give it a try as I was always intrigued by the smell walking by. I thought the broth was watery and tasteless to me, but I understand that pho is one of those dishes that is highly personal to most people. The portions were good though and I appreciate that they have a bar up front where you can get your dressings (bean sprouts, jalapenos, limes, etc.) although I do question the cleanliness of just leaving it out for all the customers to grab on their own. You order up front and grab a seat at an open table where they'll bring your order to you. It was fine but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

We both really liked our pho. This was probably one of my fave veggie phos I've had in Seattle and I've tried a lot. You order up front and then they bring it to your table. The toppings are at a bar in the front to self serve. They do have vegan or dairy free Thai tea with boba too! It's a smaller spot and can get busy so get there early so you don't have to wait on a table to free up. read more

Just ok - I can see why if you work in the area this is a quick easy option but the noodles were a little undercooked and the broth lacked depth. Service was nice! I also like how you can get your own sides to reduce waste. read more

Lucky's Pho feels like the neighborhood shop you stumble into on a gray Seattle afternoon -- casual, quick, and comforting. I went for the pho dac biet ($16.20) -- brisket, rare steak, tendon, and meatball. The broth leans lighter and cleaner than some of the big broth houses in town, but it's still satisfying. The brisket carried just enough fat, the tendon added chew, and the noodles kept their bounce to the end. Portion sizes are generous for the price, and everything came out steaming hot. I also tried the shrimp spring rolls ($8.75) -- tightly wrapped, fresh, and served with peanut sauce that actually had some depth. If you're not in a pho mood, the banh mi sandwiches (pork, chicken, beef, or tofu, from $11-13) looked popular at surrounding tables, as did the vermicelli bowls. Vegetarian eaters are covered with a tofu pho and veggie broth option. The space itself is small, bright, and functional -- more about quick meals than atmosphere. Service is efficient and friendly enough, with staff checking in on drinks and extras. Prices are fair for Fremont, especially when paired with a Vietnamese iced coffee or Thai tea. It's not chasing the legacy of Pho Bac or the refinement of Tamarind Tree -- Lucky's is about consistency and approachability. A place where you can grab a bowl, sip the broth, and walk out warm and full without thinking too hard. read more

Wow-we stopped by for lunch today in the vibrant, Fremont area of Seattle on a very cold & sunny day. There was a steady stream of customers and we were happy to have ordered and found a table for four. Three of the four ordered Pho while I ordered the vermicelli noodle salad with chicken. As my husband said "yours was so good that I wished I had ordered it but then my pho was so good I would have been disappointed if I had not ordered it" so you see, it was a win win. read more

I've been going to this pho place for the past year and they have been consistent in the past. However, in my recent experience (mid-march 2024), their broth was not it. I am not sure if this was a one time event but I'll update if I ever go back. Stomach got a little upset after eating here on that one time interesting broth. The size is definitely generous and we had hard time finishing it. I noticed a lot of people asked for to go boxes. read more

Although the place was small and busy, it was very clean! The staff bused tables right away; so, we just waited a few minutes for a table. The Pork Banh Mi and Pho Ga were amazingly delicious. The Banh Mu was warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The vegetable broth in the Pho was perfect for our taste, not salty. They provided condiments to add to your soup or any order. We recommend this little place a "must taste" read more

Wow, does this place do business! I have tried to go several times but consistently find the place packed with no where to sit. I finally beat the crowds by going ridiculously early, but hey, it worked! It's a cute, clean little space. You order at the counter, take a number, help yourself to bean sprouts, basil, lime, etc and find a seat. They will bring your pho to you and also bus your table. Service is fast. As far as I saw, the pho only comes in one size. I got veggies and tofu with veggie broth. It was very flavorful and the perfect antidote to the cold night! If you do come, it might be wise to take out or have a back up plan due to how busy it gets. read more

The pho here is really good. very flavorful broth and the a cold Vietnamese coffee to go with it. I like that the toppings are self serve. Service is quick but the place is crowded obviously with this good food there would be no reason for the place to not be packed on most occasions. read more

Loved everything about Luckys! I got the number 5 pho, the soup was good and tasty and the noodles were the perfect texture. My favorite meat in the pho was the tripe. I loved how we were able to grab our own bean sprouts, limes, and basil so we control how much we want of each and limit waste. I came with a friend on a holiday so it was a bit busier but we were able to find seating relatively quickly. The shop is on the smaller side, so you will be cozy with your neighbors read more

Solid pho- broth was good and meat was cooked well! My friend got the pork banh mi and I had a bite and it was good- normally I don't like banh mi bread but this bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside! Went during dinner rush hour so there was a bit of a wait for a table read more

I love Lucky's. It is my favorite spot to get pho. I've gotten the veggie pho and also veggie banh mi. Both were spectacular. Anytime I get pho, I wish it was Lucky's. The spring rolls are also fantastic along with the peanut sauce they give. Yum! The most surprising thing of it all is, they have the best boba I've ever had. They have just a few flavors but the actual tapioca is consistently chewy and the taste is out of this world. I don't know where they get it but it's better than any tea shop I've been to. It has no business being as good as it is. read more

Omg some of the best pho I've ever had! I ordered takeout and the vibes were great and service at the counter was excellent. No wonder this place is always crowded! read more

One of the best pho spots in North Seattle. Gets busy around peak times but I never have to wait too long for a table.

this is one of the places I would miss if I moved away from Seattle! The service is incredible and very welcoming. They have the whole ordering system streamlined. The food is incredible and you always see a lunch crowd and people enjoying their delicious pho or bahn mi! This location is in the heart of Fremont and provides the ambiance is welcoming! My personal favorite is an iced Vietnamese coffee with Boba that I crave on a regular basis!! read more

A bit overpriced. But the pho is good, the space is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the staff are nice.

North Seattle isn't typically known for Vietnamese food compared to South Seattle, so this was one of the rare occasions that I actually ate Viet food around here. Ambiance and atmosphere isn't typical to the kind of Vietnamese restaurants I grew up with, so it doesn't exactly feel the most authentic. However, one cannot judge the authenticity without judging the food. I ordered the Pho Bo Vien (Pho with meatballs) which is my usual go-to order. The broth was very flavourful and had the right consistency that I would expect from any Pho soup base. From the noodles to the meat, it was all very standard and stayed true to how Pho should taste and feel in your mouth. It definitely fulfilled my Pho craving that I had that day. I would likely come back again if I wanted to eat Vietnamese food up north. read more

Lucky's Pho - Bo Vien - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A great place for a reasonably priced bowl of Pho, the broth had very good flavor. They have a few choices of Asian beers which I like to try when I can. Not pictured is the self serve topping bar where you can get as many limes, Thai basil, and bean sprouts as you want. The only reason for 4 stars was because the soup came with the cilantro in it. I enjoy cilantro quite a bit, but many people I dine with do not so I think it would be better to have the soup without cilantro and instead have it available at the topping bar. Overall the service was great! The guy bussing tables was doing a fantastic job and the cashier was very helpful when ordering. read more

Lucky's Pho - 4. Beef & Tendon Pho (Chin Gan)* - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

While the pho was very tasty, I question the cleanliness of the utensils at the tables. The spoons, forks, and chopsticks are all out in the open and uncovered vs individually packaged. If someone's an inexperienced messy chopsticks user or coughing or sneezing at the table the germs are going to get on all of the utensils there that future customers will be using. I recommend that the business update their practices to either bring out utensils with the food or keep all the utensils in canisters in a centralized location (by the water/toppings bar area). read more

Great spot for pho! The prices are very reasonable and you get a huge bowl of pho. I got the beef and meatball pho and really enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and the meat was tasty. You can grab your choice of toppings from the bar! I also got a Thai tea with boba and this was so good! It was very sweet and the addition of boba was fun. I wouldn't say this is my *favorite* spot for pho, but it is very solid. I'd definitely come again! read more

I always walk by Lucky's Pho swearing they have pho scented febreeze in the air. The scent is so intense through the vents that fills up the street when you walk by. This is a smaller restaurant and being in the center of Fremont, it can get pretty busy at peak times. The pho itself is average (but one of the few options in the Fremont area), flavorful broth but they don't give you a lot of meat and I'm not a huge fan of the noodles they choose. It's easy to style the pho however you want, with the walk up toppings bar (unlimited basil, lime, and bean sprouts). The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

A very solid pho place, no complaints here! I recommend coming during off hours if you plan on dining in, seats are first come first serve and it can definitely get packed! Broth was piping hot and delicious (lots of spices), noodles were still chewy and did not break apart as I picked them up, and meat seemed like it was from high quality cuts that were decently thick (but not so thick that the meat was too tough). The thai tea was alright. A little too sweet for my taste but I didn't ask if sweetness could be adjusted so I guess that's on me. It did taste a little powdery but I'm no expert! Would definitely come here again. I want to try the banh mi next time! read more

You can't go wrong with PHO! The pho was very good especially their broth. I always get a meatball pho and their meatballs were the perfect size and texture. At some other restaurants, i experience eating very hard or dense meatballs which is not to my liking. But Lucky's has great pho choices! In addition to their pho, I really enjoyed their iced Vietnamese coffee. The restaurant is semi-spacious. How their restaurant works is that you will order and will seat yourself. There is a cart for self-serve water and bar area to grab your own ingredients for your pho. A great pho restaurant in fremont! read more
