When I'm craving pho in Bellingham this is my go-to place. It's conveniently located on south campus. If you're in the mood for pho and need somewhere near downtown, this is the place to be! The large size is very generous. I know what i like, and no matter where i go i always get combination pho. This place does not disappoint. The menu is very easy to navigate. They split up their bowls by section, based on taste/how adventurous you want to be. They offer a simple bowl with a few fixings to a combination bowl with everything. If you have time and you're a fan of Vietnamese coffee, you'll appreciate that they bring out a drip coffee filter and condensed milk so you can have it fresh instead of from concentrate I've been multiple times and the service is always great. Seating is quick. There's never been a long wait for food. Water is always filled before asking. I've recommended to family when they visit. read more

Bruh these guys are the best. Been going here for years. The beef stew pho is the best thing on this beautiful blue planet. The spring rolls are perfection , service is always good but not like over the top western service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my place of calm and comfort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food is pretty authentic Vietnamese fare. Very tasty. The staff were friendly and efficient. The place is clean. I would have liked to see a bit more Viet decor and maybe even some Viet music, but the food and service is what's the most important to me. read more

Great Pho! Exceptionally friendly service and the soup was hot and fresh. I highly recommend it.

This pho is amazing and consistent! I love how fast the service is, minutes after ordering our food arrived! The spring rolls are good too!

Definitely a nice little GEM! The Pho screamed authenticity and the staff was very nice! Its small and the parking is limited so definitely call ahead of time before heading in. We had the #8 and #9 pho, chicken chow main, and dumpling soup! Huge portions so come hungry. If you pay with cash they give you a 10% discount! read more

Not bad. Positive marks for speed of service, and stamp card program (every 10th one is free!). Taste seems to cater to the American crowd. The house-made chili oil is fantastically potent...when they actually have it (last few times didn't). Not much in the way of ambience, and waiting area is quite small. Okay for solo dining or a couple friends, but wouldn't recommend for large groups. I thought it was odd, and perhaps a tad rude, when a server just took my sriracha away to give to another table. Like heyyyy, I was kinda using that. But oh well. read more

Pho 99 - Vegetarian pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Amazing food. Pork fresh rolls were amazing. Peach smoothie was great too, the extra large was over the top.

I've been coming here for a few years and I still don't know what to order. I love the vermicelli bowls and really you can't go wrong with any of the soups I've tried. They're super brothy, with tons of fresh vegetables. Just the perfect rainy or sick day food. During covid they've been great with a table setup right inside the door to pickup and order from. One of the staples of the Sehome area! read more

I've watched Pho 99 grow and change over the years. It's a comfy little place to go with friends. I have great memories here of both my college years and beyond. I stop here for dinner on my way up north to Canada. The pho is seriously better than anything you'll find in Seattle! My favorite item on the menu is the #80 which is the iced cappuccino. They also offer a punch card to buy 9, get 1 free! read more

In a part of town where the pho choices are almost non-existent, I'm thankful to have Pho 99 located pretty close to my house. Whenever I feel a cold coming on, or just need to warm up on a cold day, I give them a call and they've got my large combo ready to go when I get there. The broth is succulent, full of the complex flavors that make this Vietnamese staple so popular. And they have the best selection of meats that I've seen in town - including my two favorites, tendon and tripe. Each bowl comes with a generous side of the requisite pho garnishes like bean sprouts, Thai basil, thinly sliced jalapenos, and slices of lime. The large is more than enough for me and my sweetie to share, and we like to add some of their tasty egg rolls and spring rolls if we're feeling extra hungry. The place isn't fancy, but it's tasty! read more

Food was amazing, never deposited. I always get number 1 large never able to finish it. At times they do get backed up so it takes a little while for the food. Will always come back. read more

My husband ate there first time today, ordered #63 Cm Thịt Nớng, Chả Giò - Grilled pork sliced and fried egg roll for him and #3 Phở Tái, Chín- Noodle soup with eyeround steak and well-done brisket for me, and of course fresh spring rolls for appetizer.After meal my husband told me that he is not surprised why this place it's so busy -simply delicious! read more

Got a pick up order here; the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pho was very good and was served with plenty of sides.

Excellent Pho and service was fast even being crowded. It was my first visit and will definitely come back again when I visit Washington again. read more

MUST TRY! I, personally, do not enjoy eating Pho. I got the vermicelli with grilled chicken and I really liked it! My dad seemed to like the pho. For anyone who wants to eat food that isn't pho, I would recommend the vermicell bowls. I tried some of the pork chops rice plate and wasn't as satisfied. Overall, the service was pleasant, food came out quickly, and everything was delicious! read more

Good Pho spot for very good prices. I like how this place sorts out their menu by the level of exotic ingredients they decide to put in their pho as ingredients like tendons and cow stomach might freak people out. Of course I went head first and order from their adventurers choice section. I got 16) Ph Tái, Gu, Gân, Sách which is noodle soup with eye round steak, fatty brisket, soft tendon, and beef tripe. Very good and very filling. You can request it to be made spicy. read more

Love this place for the vegetarian pho. It's delicious! Portions are large. I usually get the small pho.

Let's just talk about the food. The tofu spring rolls were super bland with only lettuce, rice noodles, and tofu. The pho broth was also lacking in any depth of flavor and tasted watered down. Sorry, 99... I will likely not return. read more

Pretty much what I would expect from a pho place like this. Uninteresting broth that I jazzed up at home with my own condiments. Decent amount of sprouts and basil, but measly little piece of lime (again, glad I had some at home). Okay noodles. The combo rolls were fine, though dipping sauces bland. Since I was not expecting anything amazing, it fit my desire for a filling, hot pho after a cold day spent watching eagles. Just have your own condiments at hand... read more

The number 21 comes with spicy broth and larger noodles. Its fantastic and will never get old to me. Pho 99 has special place in my heart as it's the place I go to eat alone and think about my life or listen to a podcast. I think soup is quite fitting for contemplation. It's probably the most humble of all the foods. read more

Pho 99 is finally reopen for dine in still the best pho in town. Gotta try the beef stew. A little sweet and chunky brisket. The only thing is it runs out fairly quickly read more

With living in Bellingham for four years during college, Pho 99 was a staple. This is right off Bill McDonald Pkwy and Samish Way and is authentic pho that cannot beat anywhere else in Bellingham. Of course when you stack it up to other places in more metropolitan cities you might thing otherwise but for Bellingham, it's really darn good! I've been there at all hours of operation and there never seems to be a "slow" period. The staff is efficient and friendly! If you are looking for the perfect rainy day comfort food or a hungover cure this is your place! read more

We have continued to go here many many times since discovering it in September. It is our favorite place to go. We order the same thing every time, which is: 2 large bowls of Pho, 1 order of Beef Spareribs, 1 order of 2 Pork Eggrolls, and 1 Sampler plate of the 3 different Eggrolls/Springrolls. After tax and tip, it's about $50. I think this makes us very good customers. We love their food. So I hate to take away a star, but... Something weird is going on here. The last time we went, they were out of ribs. Which was, of course, the thing I wanted most. I almost cried. Not kidding. This time we went, they were out of pork egg rolls. What the heck? But that's not all. The little containers of chili paste that sit on every table were mostly missing. My dining companion considers this an essential part of his Pho experience, so he went and found a container over in the service area, and brought it to our table. He was happily eating his soup, putting chili on as he went, when one of the servers came over and tried to take it away. He told her he was using it. A few minutes later, another of the servers came over and tried to take it away. He told him he was using it. A few minutes later, frustrated by their appearing every couple of minutes to take the chili, he put a big blob of it in his soup, and handed the rest to one of the servers. He was very unhappy for the rest of our meal. He also noticed them taking one of the other condiments from another table. I don't know if it's related, or just standard procedure, but they were also painstakingly refilling Sriracha bottles with the remnants of other Sriracha bottles. I didn't think anything of it, since I've seen many places do this with ketchup. But when condiments seemed to be in short supply, and other beloved menu items were missing, it made me wonder if the Sriracha was yet another issue. They are very busy and always popular. I don't know why they're struggling, but it seems like they are. It is frustrating, though, when we go in ready to pay $50 for lunch, and everything is amiss. I hope these setbacks are temporary. read more

The #21 was a staple for me while going to school in Bellingham, and I still stop by this location occassionally when making my way up to BC. My go to is a shrimp spring roll, and the Bun Bo Hue (#21). FYI the Bun Bo Hue doesn't include with the pork hock and pork blood cake that is traditional with this dish - the West Seattle location does though! I've also had the rice and vermacelli dishes in the past which are also good. The staff is extremely friendly and still remembered me in my most recent visit despite having moved away several years ago. They are always accommodating in making substitutions for my picky partner's order as well (#21 soup and noodles, but with the rare steak from #1 with no veggies). read more

When it comes to Asian places, the rule of thumb is that the worse the service, the better the food, and Pho 99 is no exception. It's loud, it's got a cafeteria feel, and it's a liiiiiiittle rushed, but don't let that fool you. The pho comes out steaming hot and there's more than enough to satisfy even a hungry hungry hippo. We also had the summer rolls, and that was a nice appetizer. Definitely some of the better pho in the Whatcom/Skagit area. Everything came out very quickly and the only time we had to wait was to pay the check. They do takeout, which is good for when you're going home and just need some comfort food. Worth the drive, and worth the less than stellar service, because the food speaks for itself. read more

This particular Pho establishment is an absolute MUST! Whether you desire Tofu Pho or Beef Pho, it's the best I've had across the planet! Just say YES! read more

Best pho in town! The staff is incredible and the food is always delicious. We usually get two giant bowls of pho and extra fried pork egg rolls. You can't beat it, seriously. read more

Oh wow. I'm super shocked to find legitimate pho half way between Seattle and Vancouver. Broth, cuts of meat, and noodles were perfect. This family had a restaurant in Seattle as well, which explains the quality and authenticity. Cheers. read more

We go here all the time and I love this place so much. The food is always awesome no matter what I have gotten (I've tried something from just about every category) I love the lemon grass pork chops and the egg noodles so don't be scared to branch out of the pho!! The decor is perfect. It's set up in a way that even though the whole room can be filled it can still feel nice and intimate. The service is exactly what is expected for a pho place. Pretty quick and fast not too much help after you get your food but It's okay. This place is a perfect place to go when it's cold out or you are sick. It's a great little place. read more

I love this restaurant. I started eating here when I was living in bham for school, and I miss it so much. Drove 2 hours just to eat here tonight and it's just as good as I remember it. Not sure what they do to the egg rolls but I've yet to find another restaurant that even comes close. read more

It is always a nice experience to go here. The person who last helped me with takeout was quick and great at making conversation. The food is pretty good too! A discerning Pho fan should order off the "regular/adventurous" menus only. Some of their options are a little on the mild side to accommodate for the... timid palate. Which is no fault of theirs, just good business sense considering the local clientele. Portion sizes are kingly as well. The large size is more than enough for a big appetite. Order extra large if you want leftovers. read more

Awesome place to eat. You will not be disappointed and if you leave hungry just order a bigger bowl!!!

This is a location that's super overhyped and is cruising on an old reputation from back when they where good. Their broth is made from a powder and is honestly flavorless, the meat and portion sizes have gone down while prices have rocketed and they have defaulted to poor quality ingredients. While this place used to be a staple here in bham it is no longer good quality and is only still in buissness because of its hype and proximity to campus :(. A new family owned pho place opened near by, the broth is far better and you can see the nice old man cooking it from scratch when you walk in. Go to pho 360 instead, it's literally 50% cheaper and way better. Honestly dissapointed at the major up in prices and drop in quality in the last 5 years at pho 99. read more

No joke, I have probably been to Pho 99 at least 99 times. I would say this is the most consistent restaurant establishment in existence. Throughout my time living in Bellingham, Pho 99 has always been there for me for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My usual is a large #9, which is pho with round eye steak, brisket, and fatty brisket. They are generous and consistent with the amount of meat. The menu also has a variety of rice dishes/entrees. This place is often packed during the usual busy times. This is a testament to its success. Despite it being busy sometimes, your food always comes out in a timely manner. Pho 99 definitely has some hype around it, but compared to other pho places I've been, it's totally worthy of the hype! They also have punch cards for a free bowl of pho, of which I filled many. As a family owned establishment, the staff there does not change frequently. I appreciate that the staff has gotten to know myself and my fiance over the years. Pho 99 has the best broth, freshest ingredients, and best of all, they are ALWAYS consistent. read more

This is the best pho in town that I've tasted. It can be pretty busy with a decent wait, but they try to get you in as soon as you can. The service is always nice and reasonably priced, and most importantly, the food is delicious! I love their vegetarian pho and always put a lot of yummy sauce in that they have available at each table along with Sriracha. On a cold autumn or winter this cozy soup will warm you right up along with their complimentary tea! read more
