Pho 36 closes at 8 pm but refused to seat us when we walked in at 7:38. The server said the kitchen starts to shut down at 7:45. What the heck? What does 8 pm mean then? Does that only apply to pick-up orders? Change your sign to 7:30 then if this is your practice. read more

We were driving on our way up the the San Juan's. We had 6 unhappy cats across two cars and needed food. Pho 36 is in a little strip mall like what you see all over the Seattle suburbs. We ordered bahn mi sandwiches to go. The hostess was friendly and the food showed up quickly. Would I go out of my way to go here just for the food? No, as there are many options. But if in the area and needing Vietnamese food, for sure. read more

Traditional Spring Rolls: Loved how darker, leafy lettuce was incorporated and tucked neatly with vermicelli rice noodles and sliced shrimp. Enjoyed crunchy peanut toppings that accompanied peanut sauce. Wished the peanut sauce wasn't cold. Bun Bo: Multitude of flavors - savory, spicy, tangy with variety of ingredients offered from beef shank, pork hocks, pork cakes, blood curd, onions, hung que, and veggies. Loved the broth! Server was very courteous and helpful regarding questions with the menu. Same server also stopped by to provide water refills and asked us if there's anything else that we needed. Well lit ambience. Free parking and WiFi. read more

Visited around noon on a Saturday just before the lunch rush. Food was on point, they kind of skimped on the veggies understandably so as it is winter lol but I did have to request for extra basil and green onions. No complaints tho! This place is a solid spot. read more

Pho 36 - Pho and lemongrass rice place - Vietnamese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

My favorite dish is veggie fried rice! it's very good with great flavor! My husband gets Pho! that's mosts favorite! Pork skewers are a favorite as well. Service is pretty quick. This location can get busy at lunch time. The ambiance needs some help, not a fan of the red walls and dirty windows. Thinking they could brighten the walls, get rid of the screen the tv and the music is disturbing and to loud. Needs to turn the heat one or get a costco fireplace to warm it up! read more

Pho 36 - amazing and Fresh! - Vietnamese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

I wasn't expecting much from this little restaurant that's situated in an obscure corner of an obscure shopping center. It looks like how you would stereotypically imagine a Vietnamese restaurant to look. Service is fast and friendly. I told them no onions and they served me no onions. I came in twice in one week, I had the Bun Bo Hue on the first night. I tasted the broth and immediately demanded to know who made the broth. Yes, it's that good. There's a fine balance that you have to walk when making this broth, too little lemongrass and the broth is boring....too much lemongrass and you have a bitter broth. I had the pho today and made the mistake of ordering the large....no it was a VERY pleasant mistake. I've had large and x-large pho all over the country and they're never really large. This one was actually large and filled to the brim with meat. What sets this place apart for me is the quantity and quality of the meat. There's enough of it so that you don't need to pace yourself. read more

Was looking for a place to get lunch after I had stopped off at a local store and this showed up on yelp. The recommendations were spot on, the Bun Bo Hue was fantastic. One of the best I've ever had. Don't know if when I will ever be back in this area, but I am parking this place in case I am read more

Pho 36 has good food, but LOUSY service by young waiters who don't care if you get your order. We were just there, ordered lunch , and waited a more than the usual wait. I had ordered Vietnamese coffee. When we received our food, I asked a 2nd server about the coffee. After 10 minutes, after having neither water or coffee, I asked for water. The 2nd server told me the coffee was "dripping," and told me to wait. In the meantime, he sat down one couple, bussed tables, and sat behind the counter. Upon leaving to go, he brought ice coffee. I said "too late. It was supposed to come with the meal (hot coffee). Take off the coffee, and I will give you no tip." He said that he was by himself. I told the first server he forgot my coffee. I should not have to ask for hot coffee 3 times, and be given the wrong coffee tas I am leaving read more

Food was ok, but portions were smaller than before. We ordered two drinks, I want hot Vietnamese coffee, but coffee didn't come after 20+ minutes, when being asked then the waiter told me they couldn't do hot coffee. That's fine, I said iced then but I wanted less ice, then they gave me coffee with less ice but coffee only 2/3 full. My husband ordered normal ice level, but whole cup of coffee was filled with ice, $7 coffee was gone only after a few sips. read more

Pho 36 is one of our favorite pho restaurants in the Lynnwood area. We've dined in at and done takeout from Pho 36 several times and it's been consistently good. It's a restaurant that can easily accommodate small parties of 2 to 4, as well as larger parties of 8+ with relative ease. The staff has always been friendly and able to accommodate any of our requests, both for dine in and takeout. The food there is "good." We've tried a variety of different pho and other soup dishes, as well as various rice and vermicelli noodle bowl dishes too and we've routinely enjoyed the food. If you're not interested in pho, but want soup, then I would strongly suggest the Bun Bo Hue, which may be my favorite soup - that or ramen. Of the pho/Vietnamese restaurants that I've tried in the Lynnwood area, Pho 36 has consistently been as good if not better than all of them. It's the best place for pho in Lynnwood that I've tried to date. read more

We've been coming here 15 years. The food has always been consistent and good ;but the service tonight was horrible. We were the only table when we arrived and when we left only 4 tables were there . I never leave bad reviews ; but tonight was awkward and unprofessional. They brought all appetizers and entrees together, never returned to ask if we needed anything, and we only ordered water as beverage and got no refills . I hope management trains their front staff better and teaches them to put away cell phones and actually check in on their tables. Again- we are a long time customer and the food has been really good. ; but probably won't return for a long time. $70 for 2 people and all we expected was a refill of water. Come on Guys. read more

We really enjoyed their food until we found a bug in it after ordering takeout one night. I called to request a refund and I was originally told they were sorry but couldn't do anything. I asked for my money back and I was told we need to bring the "evidence" in, so we did. Got our refund but will definitely not eat here again. read more

After shopping at Alderwood mall on a rainy Saturday afternoon, I looked up a few pho spots within the area and came across Pho 36. I was a little hesitant to give the place a try at first as I have a favorite pho spot further south (on my way home) but am so happy I gave this place a chance. The place had a few tables, and the workers seemed quite busy but I was greeted warmly and seated quickly. The place was noticeably clean too. I ordered the vegetable and fried tofu pho with beef broth and a side of egg rolls. To my delight, they gave me 4 eggs for $8. The broth was some of the best savory broth I've ever had and there was an assortment of vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, green onion) unlike other places that only give you carrots and broccoli. The pho was reasonably priced for the area at $13.50. This place has 5 stars in my book and I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again and try their other dishes. read more

Pho was tasty, Prices reasonable. $12.50-$14 for generous portion of Pho. Wished I hadn't used the restroom....very filthy. Always an indication of how clean the kitchen may be... Only saw 2 employees working. One front line and one back kitchen. They were handling quite a few takeout orders. We ordered the seafood and chicken Pho. Chicken was a bit chewy. read more

Came in on a Thursday night with my daughter when we had a hankering for pho. We both ordered pho with beef brisket and flank. We were offered two sizes: medium or large. We ordered the medium. It was huge. My daughter couldn't finish her bowl. I did. (: The broth was flavorful, the add-ins were fresh (basil, sprouts, lime, jalapenos) and the dining room was clean. When we needed a fork and extra napkins, we got them. We will definitely come back. Despite only one person working the dining room and simultaneously taking to-go orders, service was prompt and friendly enough. read more

Pho 36 - the dining area of a restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Went there yesterday for lunch with my husband. Order one medium beef pho with extra noodles, one large vegetarian pho with beef broth. The waiter reapeted the order right, eventhought without writing anything down. Waited for awhile, came out the other way around, got Large beef pho with medium veggie pho. I mentioned it to him, and he brought it back to the kitchen. When it came out again, it looked like the cook only switching the size of the bowl, my medium pho came with way too much noodles and the broth not filles up. And I had to ask where was the extra noodles that we order. He came back with those, when we are making a payment, i noticed they charged me twice for the extra noodles. He argued with me and kept saying No. I have a reciept that proved that. Oh well, what kinda service is that, not only you made mistake, not owning it and charge me for your mistake, he needs more training to do his job and get some note pad so you can write down the order!! read more

Pho 36 - the reciept - Vietnamese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

We moved recently and this spot is around the corner, however we likely will never visit again.. Highlight was lunch with my Queen. Next is the egg-rolls, pretty tasty! The Bahn Mi was pretty good also, bigger than most. The Pho was ok, have had better.. The broth was not as flavorful as we've had other places. Nobody asked how our meal was, nor did they ever refill my water. If the place wasn't so filthy, and the service poor, we would probably return, simply because it's within walking distance. There is spot in Everett called Basil Authentic that blows this place out of the water! read more

As you walk up to the restaurant there's nothing special about it. Very standard Vietnamese. Not much in decorations but it is clean. The menu is old with delaminating plastic cover and stickers over the old menu price and hand-writtren new price. My review is pretty much on the food and not so much the ambience. I had the bamboo duck noodle soup. It had to be done right and presented on separate plates. It had to have the full compliment of boiled duck on top of a bed of seasoned shredded cabbage. And that's exactly what they did. The soup tasted right. The duck salad was spot on. The portions were right. Everything was as they are supposed to be. Great presentation and taste. read more

Pho 36 - Bánh canh cua - Vietnamese Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Came in for lunch around 12:30pm. About 3 of the 20ish were taken so we were seated right away. Flip through the menus but we knew what we came for. Bun Bo hue and banh canh cua! Took maybe 10-15 minutes and we had it on our table. Quick! Both bowls were robust with flavor and very good! Were they the best I've ever had? No. Were they really really good, yeah! Would I come again? Absolutely! Located in a small plaza near the convention center. Don't hesitate to stop in when you need your viet fix. I live in the Alderwood area and I'll definitely stop in here and there from now on. read more

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS HOMOPHOBIC RESTAURANT!!! THEY ARE NOT LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY!!! We are a gay couple and we went here for lunch, when my husband came to the counter to pay, the servers think he is not Vietnamese so both of them used inappropriate words to make fun at our gender. They laughed and called us "bede", which is a Vietnamese word for gender discrimination, similar to "faggot" in English. The bare minimum requirement when working at a restaurant is not to say bad things about customers. We came to eat very politely, we didn't ask them anything when we were there, we gave them a nice tip. Why did they gossip about our gender in front of my husband? Unfortunately for them, my husband understands Vietnamese. I wonders why it's 2023 and there are still YOUNG people with such old-fashioned and backward mindset. This is the 21st century, please educate yourself so you don't become a caveman. The owner should fire these servers if they still want their customers coming back. Imaging what they've said behind other non-Vietnamese LGBTQ+ customers. I will tell every LGBTQ+ friends of mine to boycott this restaurant until they have a proper apology! read more

Poor experience. We waited 10 minutes and no one brought us water and the server was rude when I asked if I could have some ice with my water.I am someone who was a server for years so I always try to be understanding and kind to my servers but the person who served me was straight up rude for no reason. The food was not good either. I will never come back here. read more

Came to eat some pho for lunch. We were the only ones when we came, but couple minutes later the lunch hour rush came! The menu is pretty small so there isn't a large selection to order from.

The best pho I've ever had. And I've had a lot of pho. There's so much meat. The meat lasts until I'm done with the pho and able to have meat with every bite. It's my go to place now. I'll never go anywhere else! read more

Quality of food : 5 stars Price points: 5 stars Attentive wait staff: 4 stars max. The food is delicious. Ordered spring rolls, regular sized pho and a number 7(which easily fed two adults) .

Very good bun rieu and yummy egg rolls to boot! The bun rieu had a flavorful slightly sweet seafood broth and the egg rolls were a bit overstuffed in the best way and we'll seasoned! Tried the seafood egg rolls, which were mostly filled with imitation crab, but otherwise okay. Will probably skip next time to try other items. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Think this has new ownership again since the food doesn't taste the same. The banh xeo use to be really crunchy and good with a variety of vegetables/herbs that came with it. Now it was just some head lettuce and some thai basil. Minimal customer service read more

Great pho with fresh ingredients. I had lunch here and recommend the food. Service is little slow.

Wow. Not the good wow, no, this is the bad wow. I asked for extra Thai basil and lime. I received one tiny sliver of lime and the normal amount of basil. But there's more! This was hands down the worst Pho I've ever had. I still can't get the taste of the meat out of my mouth. I have 2 pieces of Mentos gum in my mouth and I still taste cow hoof! If the Pho had been tasty this would've been a 4 star review - que the lack of extra Thai basil and lime, but I wasted every single penny I spent at this restaurant today on the worst Pho I've ever tasted. No, no no no. As the song goes" no no no no no no no! No! Never, ever, ever again. read more

Do not ever eat here. Today I went in for Pho with chicken and broccoli and found 2 maggot larva in my food.

Completely disgusting. read more

The bahn xeo here is fantastic. I live in Seattle and have a couple local Vietnamese spots that don't offer this dish, which is one of my favorites. I was in Lynnwood earlier this week getting air filters and saw that pho 36 offers bahn xeo. Bahn xeo, for those who aren't familiar, is a golden rice flower crispy pancake/crepe, usually stuffed with bean sprouts, pork and shrimp. It's usually eaten wrapped up in lettuce with herbs like basil, cilantro and shiso and then dipped into a sweet vinegary fish sauce. The combination of flavors and textures are really wonderful. I ordered the bahn xeo and ate it at home, it's not the easier takeout meal but held up pretty well. If I'm in the area, will definitely stop by for bahn xeo. read more

Not a fan of the food. The veggie options are limited but they do have one of each. The lemongrass tofu didn't have any lemon grass flavor at all which was so disappointing. The bun vermicelli was ok. The tofu again didn't have any flavor. I wish they had more peanuts for crunch and a veggie version of a sauce. They also could have had a veggie "egg" roll. I would give it a miss if you are a vegetarian. read more

I've been here once and I have to say I really like if not, loved their pho soup base. It's very flavorful and, I just couldn't put my fork down! How's that for my review!? The place is standard clean and well kept, pleasant service and has one of the heaviest menu like I'm going to read a bible. The price is right. I will go back and try other foods for sure! I highly recommend starting with a small size of pho. It is more than enough. read more
