We ate here with some friends and it was a fantastic meal! Vermicelli bowls were delicious and plentiful. It's a cute, cozy and unassuming place with excellent customer service and food. read more

I was in West Seattle area last Saturday when we swung in here for some early dinner. It was a gloomy rainy day, so it was perfect for a big bowl of pho! Parking: We parked on the street. I think they have a few designated spots though next to the building. We ordered: - fried egg rolls - 3 large bowls of pho I had to ask for extra lettuce for the egg rolls, and they only serve you two eggrolls, but they were delicious. The pho was great too. The broth was on point and the bean sprouts were fresh. I'd definitely come back! read more

Pho Aroma was packed when I went there on a rainy Tuesday night. Their portions are large, their broth is so delicious, and the home made limeade is hiding on the menu that no one thinks to order is their best kept secret. It usually comes out warm because they make it fresh per order, and it is tasty af. I will continue supporting this business! read more

Pho Aroma - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Quiet little Pho shop with friendly staff and solid pho. Stopped in about an hour before closing on a Friday. There were only a few other people there so we were seated immediately. Our server was very courteous. We each ordered the combo pho and it came out quickly with additional toppings and sauces. To be honest, this is the first time either of us had had pho. We were both really impressed! It was a tasty broth and we both spiced it up with some jalapeños and Thai basil. It was just the right amount of comfort we were looking for in a late dinner. The prices were great and the service was very fast. We will definitely be back! read more

First visit. Ordered the combo stir fry with crispy noodle. Out comes this beautiful platter with bok choy,pork, shrimp, chicken and broccoli. Sauce was amazing. It was delicious. Kiddo got the grilled chicken, rice and broccoli. Chicken was marinated and had a lovely char. Hubs got the pho. Excellent meal. Will definitely visit again! read more

I love this spot! Their pho broth is great and the Vietnamese crepe is amazing too! Honestly this is one of the top Vietnamese restaurants we have in Seattle. read more

Love Pho Aroma! Have had many bowls of pho, salad rolls, and their banh mi. It's always been delicious. Quick service and I don't think I've ever needed to wait for a favor. I also love being able to get an order to go on gray Seattle days. read more

Horrible and disgusted experience here everyone. I would rather dine inside the arco gas station down the street than ever come here again. As soon as my family set foot inside the restaurant. We were greeted by the most rudest waiter I've ever seen. He immediately gave us an attitude and the way he spoke to us made us very uncomfortable. Additionally, while taking our orders he was rushing me. I felt pressured and decided to randomly choose the first thing that my eyes locked on. While waiting for our meals to arrive we watched our waiter walking around asking how other tables were doing and checking on them as we were tucked away in a corner. I quickly realized we stood out because our party were Vietnamese and everyone else weren't. I felt disappointed and was hopeful that they would be more welcoming. When my food arrived I thought I was paying for a happy meal. I ordered rice with pork chop and a fried egg. Normally when I ordered the same dish I would not be able to finish it and have Togo the rest home. If anyone is planning to order the same dish. Please request for the adult size menu. Water was not refilled. I am glad I brought my hydro flask with me because this restaurant didn't bother to care enough to ask if I need more water. I truly hate writing bad reviews.. Especially for my people. But, I hope this review shines a light here. I would love to support local businesses but my family and I will be taking our business else where. We will never ever order anything from this restaurant again ! Update*** It is now 12:41 and I cannot go to bed because I am currently sitting on the toilet typing this. My stomach feels like if Mike Tyson threw a hook punch to my gut and destroyed my liver. My stomach hurts and I am having the worst diarrhea of my life here. It feels like a faucet running out of my rear end. Shame on this place! I don't think they prepared their food well.. read more

My husband & I just love Pho Aroma! We order takeout from there one a week. Our go to order is the bun combo, chicken roll and a large rare steak pho. Their pho broth is so magically healing. Anytime I feel even slightly like I'm coming down with something, Pho Aroma's pho broth to the rescue! read more

I want to start this review by saying I am not a pho expert, nor have I had very many different phos. My husband and I ordered a few things to go, but I wish we would have eaten in for the first experience here. We ordered a small raw beef pho, which was plenty for two of us to share. We also ordered the pork vermicelli bowl and the stir fry noodles with all the meats. I loved the pho! They send it home with the meat raw, so make sure you bring the broth to a boil and then add the meat so it cooks. Like I mentioned, we ordered a small and it was a great size. I really enjoyed the pork that came in the vermicelli bowl. But i did not love the stir fry noodles and was not eager to eat them for leftovers. We will definitely be back for pho! read more

This place is the perfect pho restaurant in my opinion. The staff are always hard at work keeping things moving and making the rounds to check up on you. The pho broth is perfectly savory and they provide the perfect amount of accompaniments. The basil and bean sprouts were so fresh and crispy. The owners are hard working and have such welcoming attitudes. The interior is very homey and relaxing with a personal touch from the owner that makes it feel like you've been invited over for dinner. It's very clean and tidy. read more

Very delicious, rich and flavor broth. The service was great, and the ambiance was very warm and welcoming.

As a Vietnamese American who grew up in Orange County & San Jose (The area most condensed Vietnamese population and the area with the most Vietnamese people) I was scared that Seattle wouldn't have Vietnamese food that wasn't as good. Pho Aroma relieved me of that fear and you can even smell the grilled pork before you even enter the restaurant. They surprisingly have the best Banh Mis that I've had in Seattle so far and it even surpasses shops that specialize in only making Banh Mis. I work close by and love that I can always get a great Banh Mi Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork Sandwich) on my breaks! read more

I really like their Vietnamese crepe: thinly crispy and crunch just how it suppose to be. Their pho and other dishes are good.

One of the top 3 best shaken beef or lemon grass beef I've ever had. The beef was juicy and tender as you bite into the cubed beef slightly caramelized outside cushioning your bite to release the sweet juices inside. The seasoning was phenomenal. Finely balance sweetness. The thing I liked most was that it didn't have the tanginess of citrus acid which is commonly added to this dish. Smooth. No turbulance from the tanginess of citrus acid. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. Rice were perfectly cooked in appropriate portion. read more

Our favorite pho in West Seattle! We have tried almost every bowl in the area and we keep coming back here. The staff is really sweet and it's pretty fast. read more

Unassuming phö restaurant in West Seattle that's home to some of the best I've ever had in the PNW! Perhaps a personal opinion, but for me, pho is all about the flavors in the broth. This place delivers! Other highlights: 1. Fair prices (ex. a pot of tea for $1.50) 2. Vegetable broth for the vegetable pho (perfect for vegetarians) 3. Quick & friendly service 4. Bangin' bahn mi (I'd recommend the pork) read more

Excellent place! Clear communication around COVID guidelines and delicious food. I always got the beef vermicelli bowl and the fresh rolls. I live too close to this spot, so I have to stop myself from ordering from here all the time! read more

It IS aromatic, when you walk inside, pleasantly so and quite inviting. Downside: not enough parking, and not close enough to my house. Totally willing to return repeatedly to work our way through their menu. Me: Pho Brisket, Wife: Beef Stew (w/ noodles vs. French bread). Amazing flavors! Beef Stew comes w/ tomato based broth I am lucky she shared w/ me. The wiater warned 'it is chewy, OK?' Waay better than OK. Service at lunch was above par. read more

On the bright side, the lemongrass tofu vermicelli was tasty! However, the pho dac biet was only decent. Yes, it was a huge portion and a generous serving of meat. Unfortunately, the broth was bland and I didn't even get jalapeños with my order. I saw maybe two short slivers of onion; I was SO unimpressed with the pho. The shrimp spring rolls were fine, but the peanut sauce was slightly sour? The sauce wasn't creamy or peanutty enough--if that makes sense. Ordering over the phone was easy, and they understand vietnamese. The food was ready on time, and parking was available on the side of the building. If I go back, I can tell you that I won't be ordering the pho again! read more

The service was beyond horrible. Just came in for a lunch carry-out order and lets just say don't get the coffee.... I rarely write a bad review, but the service and portions you get for the price are the worst I've seen in Seattle. This pic is an example of what $4 plus tax will get you! read more

The broth here is amazing. I have always been happy with their pho portions and flavor. Service is standard, never bad. If I'm not too hungry or not in the mood for noodles, I like to just order a banh mi and broth. One of my favorite quick dinners. The only problem is that about half the time I call after 6pm for banh mi, they say they are out of bread. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in West Seattle. My spouse and I eat here at least once a week. The pho and cold noodle dish are absolutely delicious. We never skip the pork salad rolls, they are the best! Tried their Bahn Mi for the first time yesterday and it is also very tasty. We honestly have never had a dish here that we didn't like. The owners and staff are also so kind and hardworking. This is a wonderful local business that I love to support! read more

This is the best Pho is Seattle hands down no question. Its a family owned small restaurant but its the best Pho Ive eaten at in the whole King County Area. The soup makes a huge difference. Its not water down like some places, even some "fancy" nice looking Pho places the soup is just so bland compared to theirs. Living just down the road I used to be a regular before I moved, 2 to 3 times a week. Now whenever I get the chance I drive just to eat the Pho here. However thats not the only good dish. The sandwiches are tasty and what Viet sandwiches should be. They also have some good portions in their combo rice plates. I dont think Ive had a bad meal or dish here yet. The owner and his wife are really nice. They know many of their regulars and even some of their staff know what you want to order before you order it. Its close to South Seattle Community College and this area doesnt have a lot of good places to eat so its generally packed for lunch and dinner, come early. The decor is nice and they really do it up especially for Halloween. My only gripe would be the parking in the area. read more

Always a gem. Nice employees and great pho. Been. Long time customer and haven't been let down.

Ooooookaaaayyy. I don't post. It's not my thing. However, I was a bit apprehensive given the lower reviews. I'm visiting from Sacramento, CA and we have a BUTTLOAD of Viet Cuisine. I decided to give it a shot. I walked a mile .. about half way there it started POURING!! Then I found a little community garden and checked it out getting more soaked. I trudged on now wanting some pho. Let me tell you, it was PHOking worth it and spectacular. Great fast service and all the ingredients were fresh. I feel a need to share this as I can't understand the low reviews. It's amazing and if you're in this part of town stop and get a bowl. Stock is light and well balanced not overly salty at all. I'm happy I walked in the rain for this. It was well worth it and I'll walk back in the rain satiated and satisfied. Don't listen to the nay Sayers. You go! You eat! You love! Deuces! read more

Pho Aroma - PHOking worth it - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I wish this place was amazing because it's in my neighborhood but it's pretty lackluster. The service is good. The lemongrass tofu is good. The vegetarian tofu pho is good and comes with broccoli and baby bok choy (but is a bit bland). The seasoning of food is really lacking. Also their peanut sauce is the worst I've ever had. They serve you a generous portion of it, but it's obviously watered down and very bland. I'd rather get a much smaller portion of rich, not-diluted peanut sauce. Their tofu fresh salad rolls come with a crunchy thin breadstick in the middle, which I personally hate. Their prices are also a bit high, especially considering their location and the lackluster quality of their food. Every time I go here I find myself wishing I was at Pho Bac instead! read more

Pho Aroma - Tofu bun - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's in the middle of a kind of skeevy part of Delridge so you might not notice it at first. But once you're inside you'll be very soothed and impressed by the warm inviting decor. The family that owns this place lives upstairs so that they can put a lot of attention into the food and it shows. The owner was telling me that he was up at two in the morning getting his broth going and that his wife is often in the kitchen at 5 AM. That is some serious dedication to your food! The spring rolls are huge with fresh ingredients and a fresh tasting wrapper. The bun and pho come in good sized portions and the meats are well cooked and flavorful. LIke others I would prefer that they just leave the condiments on the table, in our case they completely forgot to bring them and when I did ask, I only got a bottle of Siracha. This is a great place, run by an awesome family and it deserves all the success it's having! read more

Tasty tasty! Really great selection. Great food great staff! Pho was nice deep flavor broth and the steak was perfect nice medium cooked with a great sauce you won't retreat coming here! Prices are good to I would give five star but it has to be mind blowing just not quite there for a five. But enjoy and I will go back on my next trip out there. read more

I'm so happy I found this little joint. I had so much fun the other night with my best friend here. The employees are hilarious, extremely friendly and fast. I can tell this place is going to become one of my regular spots very quickly. $2.50 for a to go Vietnamese sandwich, it definitely doesn't get any better than that! read more

So far, this has been my wife and I's favorite place to get pho in the Seattle area. The broth is well-flavored, they give a pretty generous portion of meats (I've tried the combination pho - which is pretty much my standard bowl of pho), and their spring rolls are quite tasty. The place is very clean, has good service, and is fairly priced. I just wish it were closer to where I live! read more

OMG their PHO is amazing. I've been many, many times and on several occasions they've had boiled beef bones out front for folks to take home to their dogs. I know this sounds weird... but to me it shows they're the real deal when it comes to Pho. Just look at the picture of my Pho with rare beef. The broth is a rich deep brown color. That only happens when beef bones have been simmered for hours and hours, hence the bones by the door. Ah ha! This restaurant is in a bit of an odd location... but the Delridge neighborhood is transitioning and is really trying to clean itself up. Pho Aroma is certainly worth the trip. Everything that I've tired has been amazing, and the prices are dirt cheap. They are generally very busy during lunch and dinner hours, but the service is quick so they're able to turn tables pretty fast and get you seated. I love Pho Aroma!! read more

Pho Aroma - Pho with rare beef. SPECTACULAR!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best Vietnamese restaurant? Could be! With so many casual Vietnamese restaurants in this town, it's really hard for one to stand out, yet Pho Aroma does. I came in to try it after reading a very complimentary review in the Seattle Times, and I am pleased to report the great 'buzz' isn't hype; these guys are good! To get a good sampling of what they had to offer, I ordered a pork Bahn Mi sandwich and a small bowl of pho which offered a combination of their meats (brisket, tripe, tendon, meatball, etc). Bahn Mi sandwiches are easy to make, but tricky to master, as they have to balance sweet, savory, and tangy. It is clear that Pho Aroma pays very careful attention to the details that make their sandwiches stand out from the crowd. The vegetable ingredients are crispy-fresh, and the flavors really 'pop'. They get their bread fresh daily from a Vietnamese bakery, and they are delightful: a thin crispy crust, and a warm, light, fluffy interior. The grilled pork has great flavor as well. The pho stands out as well, for the same reasons: attention to detail and the best ingredients they can get. The broth is clearly made in house from scratch The bin of big beef soup bones next to the front door (for patrons to give to their dogs) bears silent witness to this. The broth is hearty, and not salty, like many establishments that make their broth from a mix. All the meats and veggies in the soup are perfect as well, and have excellent flavor. Finally, Pho Aroma stands out in ambiance and service. The space is tastefully decorated and very clean. The servers are very pleasant and attentive (they must've checked on me a half-dozen times to ensure that I was enjoying my meal; they made me feel like Anthony Bourdain!). They paced my luncheon perfectly, serving my sandwich first, and not serving the pho until I was done, so I would be able to enjoy my pho at it's piping-hot peak of perfection. I will definitely be going back to try more of their dishes, and you should too! read more

Another restaurant within walking distance to my house, awesome! This place had been under construction for months and I was excited when it finally opened. The decor was way nicer than any Pho place I've ever been in. You can tell the family who runs the joint really put in some love and care into the building. The menu was much more extensive than I was expecting. In addition to Pho, there are also vermicelli bowls, banh mi, combos and other entrees. I don't think they had any alcohol but my roomies got a Vietnamese iced coffee and it was nice and strong. For dinner I got rare steak Pho and it was yummy! The broth was really flavorful and the meat was just right. My husband got a tofu and mushroom crepe and it was gigantic, I can't believe he ate the whole thing. Our service was a little slow, but everyone was nice and had smiles on their faces. In addition to good food they also have good prices. My small Pho was $6 and I couldn't finish it. There aren't a ton of restaurants on this stretch of Delridge so Pho Aroma is definitely a welcome addition! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place until now. It really has become our go-to pho place. The pho is always solid-- super clean tasting and reasonably priced. A large pho is under $10! I've also ventured into ordering their vermicelli, which is so good. They cook the pork and shrimp to perfection. There's usually plenty of street parking, and all the servers have been friendly. The place is clean-- two thumbs up in my book!!! read more

BANH MI REVIEW. I somehow broke through my two-month long Pho obsession and no longer need to eat it every other day. So today, I'm craving Banh Mi. I was in the area and stopped by, reading a lot of good Pho reviews. I found a teeny parking spot next to the building and walked in, getting seated right away. It wasn't crowded at all. It was around 11:45/12ish. I overheard the server say it does get more crowded around 12:30/1ish, so I guess I lucked out. I ordered the Pork Banh Mi. It is $4 for dine in, pretty good deal ($3 for take out). It came out fairly quickly. The baguette was crunchy, yet soft enough that the roof of my mouth didn't get mangled. I hate when that happens...when the baguette is rock hard. This one was the perfect amount of soft/crunchy. There weren't many of the pickled veggies (typically the carrots and cukes). I feel like I just remember cucumbers. Wait, lemme check the photo.... Okay, there were carrots and radishes as well. I guess not overwhelming amounts. There were jalapeños for some kick. And of course some pork. The pork was a little dried out. As a whole the banh mi was on the dry side and lacked a little flavor, but it hit the spot. Servers were friendly and quick. Efficient. Clean restaurant. Accepts debit cards (for take out orders, it needs to be more than $5 to use card I believe). Would return if in the area. Maybe I'll try the pho. read more

Pho Aroma - Pork Banh Mi. $4 eat in ($3 take out). - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A-Ok food, nice homely atmosphere. Prompt service and as helpful as possible with our high maintenance, multi-kid, mixed personality party. Monkey's go-to Chicken Pho is offered with beef broth? Um no. Monkey do: #16 GRILLED PORK & EGGROLL VERMICELLI- good, gave away half the noodles, mix with fish sauce and commandeered remaining veggies from everyone's pho, making a decent dinner. As busy as our table was, place your fish sauce cup away from your tea cup. I'm just sayin'... Staff is hauling ass from kitchen to tables with big hot bowls of soup. If you get in their way, they will yell at you to get the FUCK out their way. So cute! Very limited parking on side of building and street. Monkey do for logistical reasons. Not at top of pho list, but you may like it. read more
