When I grew up in Boston there was a place called viets cafe and it had this amazing Vietnamese rice, but whenever I order fried rice anywhere it's like yellow (still delicious) kinda of Thai version. Took a chance on getting here and it was exactly what I was looking for! Also got their vermicelli bowl last time, super good as well. Haven't tried the pho but definitely going back for that.. read more

Bun rieu is bomb. Pho is bomb. I really like this place. Yelp is making me add more details otherwise it posts as a tip. Definitely pick up food here if you need some of that yummy yum. read more

Really good banh Canh, it has the texture of egg noodle soup and had real crab meat inside. Also the water has lychee in it which makes it very refreshing although it is probably sweetened by the syrup. The bun Bo hue was also very authentic, it wasn't very spicy though and the meat was too chewy but it still tastes good. The chicken salad was different from other chicken salads I've had but still good. read more

Good food, nice staff. Very friendly,loved the Pho and spring rolls. I would recommend to all the folks even if you havent tried this type of food. read more

Vegetables tasted rotten, and the pork on the skewer was raw in the middle. Won't be ordering here again.

The Pros outweigh the Cons. The food is authentic and delicious. Perfect for when you're feeling under the weather. The service is fine. However, the location (no parking) and the dinning experience (no ambiance) are lacking. Perfect for take out if you don't mind navigating the tight parking. read more

LYCHEE WATER. PERIOD. So good!!! It tastes like juice and honestly my favorite part of the whole experience. We got the basic order of spring rolls and combination pho. Both were pretty good, I wouldn't say it would be my favorite pho spot but definitely one of the top spots. Staff is friendly and the location is very convenient to where I live. Parking isn't really that great, but it's not their fault. Other than that, really good place to get pho when you're craving it! #LYCHEEWATER4EVA read more

I have been dining at Pho 99 for at least 8 years now. My favorite dishes are: - Bun Rieu (crab noodle soup) - Bun Dac Biet (vermicelli bowl with shrimps, grilled charcoal pork, and egg rolls). The grilled pork is TO DIE FOR! It reminds me of my mom. - Hu Tieu Dac Biet (egg noodle soup (comprises of pork, shrimp, fish balls, & imitation crabs) - Egg Rolls (also reminds me of my moms) - Chicken Pho (comes with lots of steamed veggies) Honestly, everything and anything you get here will be good! Anytime I crave my mom's cooking- I go to Pho 99. They are clean, reasonably price, and give you an ample amount of good quality food served with a heaping side of fresh herbs! Please support this local business if you can! read more

this is the go to Pho place on your way to Costco on Aurora. Normally we go to Pho Tic Tac or Pho Le Tai but this one is pretty authentic like they say. The tea is flavored with cinnamon and the water with lychee. How unique to stand out from the crowd! Their pho broth is soothing and does not taste of MSG or additives. We didn't even use the hoison or shiracha - they also have bottles of fish sauce at their table! Peanut sauce was homemade and spring rolls were large ! read more

The broth is flavorful and they give lots of meat and bean sprouts. Would definitely come back. For takeout pho they give you a styrofoam box of all the ingredients (including a small pack of raw meat, sauces, and green onion) and a container of soup. Couldn't ask for anymore for pho during the pandemic! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. My granddaughters love pho and we're always looking for a delicious and kid-friendly place. The girls said on a scale of 1-10, this pho was 15-20. We really appreciated that they brought the girls their food while ours was still being prepared. They've only been open for a few months but they already have it pretty much together. Well will be back. read more

Very authentic Vietnamese food. I Ate here for lunch several times. It's delicious with great prices.

An unimpressive, overpriced, unfriendly service, offered no receipt and offered no breakdown of how much the food cost. The menu prices are different from the prices that they charge you without any explanation. The staff did not talk to us. We ordered a small soup and was charged for a large soup twice. Dingy atmosphere, no uniform. The gentlemen cashier was wearing a Dewalt hat which is unprofessional. Not enough soup base for the amount of product they give you. Pretty bad parking situation. Not very clean inside, I saw nobody wiping down tables. Probably the most undesirable thing was being overcharged and they look at you funny if you try to express your desire to know how and why you got charged for a particular item. I am at a loss- I cannot recommend this Restaurant to any friends or family and it not being kid friendly. I will definitely not be going back there. Food with decent but I can't get over the fact that I feel ripped off. read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

We have eaten here occasionally over the past 10 years. The pho is decent; we've had better elsewhere, but it's close to home. I happened to be reading the reviews when we were looking at the menu on Yelp several days ago, and saw the alerts from other customers regarding the overcharging. We called in our order for two large chicken pho soups; My teenager went to pick it up, and I warned him about the overcharging alerts from other reviewers. I gave him the approximate price that it should cost with tax included and then told him how much to tip on top of that. Sure enough, he was overcharged four dollars. Not a lot of money but still, dishonesty is a red flag for me. My son asked him to re-ring it because he was overcharged so the man merely knocked off two dollars the 2nd time he rang it up. He was still dishonest, but my son wasn't going to haggle about two dollars. We just won't go back. If a restaurant owner is dishonest at the register, what dishonesty may be happening in the kitchen? That's a scary thought. UPDATE: we found a better place that is less pricey AND THEY GRILL (not boil) THE CHICKEN, YUM: it's called It's called Yeh Yeh's, the address is: 19915 64th Ave W 101 Lynnwood, WA read more

Got the short rib pho, #53, & egg rolls. Recommend all three! All tasted great! Loved the lychee water as well. Parking was difficult tho, especially since it was all iced. But def worth it! read more

Small space but excellent food. Not much of parking spaces. Excellent pho. Get a lot of take out.

My mom, nephew and I stopped here for dinner based on the reviews on yelp. We really enjoyed our dinner. Don't let the outside "hole in the wall" appearance stop you from coming in. Pro's - YUMMY fresh food served relatively quick. LOVE the free lychee water. Delicious! Generous portions of peanut sauce and fish sauce with spring rolls and egg rolls. My mom's pork was amazing! CONS Prices were higher than what I find in other areas of the state. Waiter did not write our order down and consequently he incorrectly brought me the shrimp dish instead of chicken. I was hungry and am ok with shrimp so I ate it. It was great but would have preferred what I ordered. No itemized bill. I didnt like this. I had to stand at the register trying to add everything up in my head to ensure it matched that of the final bill with one big total. I have never been to a restaurant that doesnt show itemized charges. We would definitely come back if we were in the area again. read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - No. 6 Pho with rare beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

I will have to say the Pho is good. We came here on a Friday for dinner and was seated immediately. The inside was small but I could tell they were busy. We ordered two small bowl of pho and on the menu it stated the bowls were 11.50 each. When it came time to paying, the owner confirmed with me that each bowl were 11.50 and being myself being Vietnamese he stated this in Vietnamese. Low and behold when the bill came out it was 28 dollars. Quick math and that doesnt add up with tax. I didn't want to cause a fuss or scene but still want to support a local restaurant but want to give the heads up that they overcharge here. Other reviewed alike have noticed this as well. read more

Randomly picked this restaurant when we were in Shoreline, WA and found it is better than normal Pho shops around in Great Seattle area. First of all, it serves ice water with Leechee fruits (not sure all year or only in the summer); secondary, there are more other choices than just rice noodle bowls (like most other Pho restaurants as this size). Note: The parking could be a problem. read more

Came back here with my family during a trip to Seattle. Boys!!! This place never disappointed me. Pho is still delicious, so was eggrolls. We also tried the Vietnamese Crepe (bánh xèo). OMG! It's sooo good. The crepe was creamy from coconut milk and deliciously crisp. It was so good that my family had to return to eat one more time before we headed to San Francisco. Lol. We'll be back here whenever we go to Seattle for sure. read more

The ambiance isn't anything extraordinary but they do really good soup! I ordered the shrimp pho which had a nice rich broth and the shrimp came completely deveined and peeled, the broccoli in the pho was a nice touch too! We also ordered the Banh Canh Cua which was similar to an egg drop drop soup with floating pieces of big meaty crab! The lychee water was also a nice touch and hydrating on a hot day! read more

Good beef Pho, love the lychee water, but mixed vegetables in chicken pho? No thank you. So I only eat beef pho here and it's good.

Every time when we go to Costco, I will always try to arrange a lunch to this place. Special rice and Vietnamese savory crepe are the top two dishes we always get. And because they are too good, we always end up getting the same dishes and haven't really got a chance exploring other dishes here Special rice is great for meat lover. It really pleases my Asian palate! Though it does include a fish cake like item that tastes like it has shrimp paste, so if you are not a fun of fish sauce, you may not like this s. The savory crepe has a almost great ketogentic dish. Looks low in carb and it is very tasty. The coconut flavor of the crispy crepe and the shrimp are a great combo. It also comes with a plate of lettuce and some fresh herbs that make the taste like a magic read more

Regardless of the odd reviews below I gave this place a try and I liked it a lot. 1. It was clean 2. The service was fast 3. The pho was totally descent I had rare beef want the best I've had but was very good! 4. They give you the most heavenly lychee water 5. Prices are totally reasonable 6. The little Asian dude workin was so polite. 7. Parking is SMALL and location is awkward so expect to look for parking if none available in the front My advice if you're hungry, it's safe to eat here. Two thumbs up. FYI to the racial comment below I am white and there were two tables of African American people here with NO issues. read more

Hidden gem along 99. Prices are on a steeper side of especially post pandemic, but the food is good.

Hole in the wall Vietnamese place, a tad more pricey then what I'm used to, limited parking spot, staff does not speak much English. But THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC!!! Authentic Vietnamese indeed. I loved the pieces of lychee in water. Eggs rolls are fresh off the fryer piping hot, broth on the pho was superb, pork skewer vermicelli was on point. They are not skimpy with veggies either. Don't feel shy about waving down service. They are Asian servers. They don't look up. LOL I'd definitely come back again and again. read more

A random selection on a rushed date day.. a most wonderful surprise indeed! And for that, review 100 goes to this treasure. For starters, the parking lot is small and cramped. I'm sure that on busy days, it will be hard to find a spot, but in general, it doesn't look like a location many would be experimenting with (so you should be fine). The service wasn't particularly attentive and it didn't look like they were in a good mood. But those observations dulled when I had a sip of the lychee water. I was not expecting a complimentary drink. It was cool, light sweet with a full flavorful (delicious) pair of large lychees sitting at the bottom of the cup. A heavenly drink. It bolstered my expectations for what the actual food would be like! When it came out, I did a double take. The Banh Xeo was ENORMOUS. Stuffed with pork, huge shrimp, and bean sprouts, the crepe was packed to deliver a yummy punch to the stomach. When wrapped up in lettuce, basil, mint then dipped in fish sauce - wow. Let the food do its work through your soul. We didn't think that it would be so huge and had ordered 2 - I saved 3/4 of one and had it the next day. Thank you for the amazing meal. I'll be back! read more

I came here and got the Mongolian Beef. It has tasty marinated beef, scallions and onions, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers over a bed of white rice. It was delicious! Everything others were getting at different tables, also looked great. I would definitely come back here many times! I'm going to try their pho sometime and will be back to review that. Also, good ,free , hot tea. Free cup of water has lychee fruit in it, which is a nice touch and taste. read more

If you are black or white, do not come here. You will not be served for over an hour. I've seen other races come in far after my girlfriend and I, and they will be checked on and served way before us. We have once had to wait over an hour to be served, and if you're black it's even worse. We would be served in an hour, meanwhile a POC will be served by the time we're done eating. The food is good, but it's not worth feeling disrespected and belittled. read more

The absolute best Vietnamese place in Seattle imo. The special crab soup is my favorite dish on the menu. Also the sweet fruit drink (lychee) they give you is amazing. I wish I could give six stars for this place. read more

Pricing was worth it. Needs more space for customers. I came here twice once in the evening around after 6pm. Great customer service. Order a takeout. It was crowded. I waited near the door. The food was properly bagged. I didn't have to stand get my bagged food. They got up and gave it to me. That was a plus. 2nd time, I'm the morning around 10am. It had 2 or three people inside. They gave me tea, water and some chopsticks with set of fork, spoon and napkin. Awesome! I was not expect tea. But hey The pho was 13 dollars large bowl. Great pricing. I tip them 8 dollars with no regrets. Haha read more

The lychee water is what makes this place stand out from all the other pho restaurants. I admit I was little apprehensive at first, but it is definitely delicious. I think all pho restaurants should incorporate this idea. I had no idea lychee was so tasty. Not sure you really need this and tea and pho as I leave feeling really water logged, but it is totally a tasty and filling experience. People I have taken who normally would not enjoy Vietnamese find this place appealing. I think this may be because the menu is so expansive and includes things like teriyaki. The vegetarian section is large too, but I never have figured out what exactly they mean by vegetarian chicken. The veggie rolls are huge and likely meant to be shared. It can get super busy and packed in here. The parking lot is very small and awkward. You get a discount if you pay cash and a fee if you use credit. read more
