What a dump! The sea food was poorly cooked and still tasted raw. Veggies for my Pho looked a week old and were all shriveled up. Very unpleasant meal. read more

Pho Cyclo Café - I present to you my nasty, shriveled up veggies. I think they took em off somebody's plate and put these on mine. Yack! - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

See all

Stopped by for lunch and the place was pretty crowded. The food was good overall but my egg roll and skewers were a bit burnt. Service was fast and nice I would probably come back for a quick lunch again. read more

Pho Cyclo Café - Vietnamese Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I really love pho, and I really love grabbing a good ol' bowl of pho at this place. They bring your order out to you in a jiffy and offer some of the most tasty bubble tea smoothies I have ever had. Veggie Pho= Excellent, not too hot, full of blanched carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and rice noodles. Jack Fruit Smoothie= Very tasty, not too sweet. Love the tapioca balls or "boba" at the bottom. The downside? This place charges much more for a small bowl of pho than there competitors. 1 Veggie Pho + 1 Jack Fruit Smoothie = $14.00 :( I will still come back for that darn good Jack Fruit Smoothie, though. read more

I only give this three stars for the following reason. 1. It is essentially vietnamese fast food. - I reserve higher star count for sit down dinners 2. I have had one dish that was "meh" over the year I have been going there. 3. They are very popular and sometimes inventory doesn't match demand. I took one of the cooking classes and loved it. I really like the story of how they came to be and thought the owner had a solid vision. The food is good the portion size is great . As pho goes - a little on the pricier side but the value is there and I am willing to pay for the better quality. I don't love all the dishes but I like the pho in both the dry and soup versions very much Bahn Mi is great the salads are a fantastic lo-cal solution if you need it and they do well to fill you up. I probably eat here 4-5 times a week. read more

I used to stop by here on the way to work from the transit center nearby. I like this place mainly for its chicken rice noodle and spring rolls. Staff is always pleasant and prompt, and the food is fresh and delicious! The only reason I do not give five stars is because parking here seems like it would be a headache (I always took the bus). It also closes rather early, serving the business lunch crowd more than anything. I would love to come here in the evening if they ever extended their hours. read more

Best thing that ever entered my building! Not sure if I'm just so sick of Specialtys and the other usual places in Bellevue, but this place is my new go-to for lunch. Pho is good, lettuce wraps tasty, and you can't beat the Pork Bahn Mi sandwich for an affordable $3.50. Yep I said it, $3.50, in Bellevue nonetheless - that's unbeatable! The only issue is the lack of seating around lunch hour, but that doesn't bother me since I always order TO GO. Definitely recommended. read more

Desperate times call for desperate measures. That's how I'd describe my probably 50 times of visiting this establishment. I worked right next door from Pho Cyclo, and my craving for a piping hot bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup was always high. The pho here is pretty expensive, about $9-10 a bowl. It's not the best broth, but it was fine. Same with the noodles, the meat, the ambiance -- all fine. I liked their Banh Mi better than anything else on the menu. Pro-tip: you can order ahead of time online. read more

Very good pho, vermicelli, and sandwiches! The meat is usually tender, and the vegetables are generally fresh and clean. The spring rolls are pre-made so probably not the highlight of the menu. I think they add cinnamon to the broth which seems strange, but it is still surprisingly good. read more

solid place for lunch in downtown bellevue. especially with $3.5 sandwiches, can't beat that price in this neighborhood. pho here is tasty, and they serve much faster than what the pho, making this the go-to lunch spot for most days. i never really ran into issues with seating here like previous reviews had mentioned, maybe because we usually come after 12pm when the rush is almost over. they also extended hours recently, now they serve from 10am-7:30pm M-F, and 10-4pm on Sat. read more

we had pho here. the ambiance? very nice and vietnamese-y, with painted pictures on the walls and even cool little props. they also open the front walk-through windows which is pretty cool in the summer, it lets in air and lets the pho/onion smell out. the food? pretty decent, however nothing memorable. pricing was also typical of a pho place, although i was glad that they didn't document every possible mathematical combination of all the different ingredients but simply gave you the choices available and told you to pick what you want. they also served other vietnamese foods here and while they looked good on other people's tables i unfortunately didn't get to try them. bathroom? the men's was pretty horrible, with broken door handles, graffiti everywhere, and watered down hand soap. overall a decent place on broadway although it was nothing special except for the ambiance. read more

tried this place yesterday. here's my thoughts let's start off with the positives: -broth was fantastic -another pho option in bellevue -reasonable price considering it's technically downtown bellevue (i think i was charged and given a small) i think that's it for the positives, on to the not so positives: -hard to find the first time. there's no flippin' sign outside that i could see -small portion (though i think she gave me a small instead of large) -goi cuon was pre-made -parking in the building is CRAZY expensive! not sure if they offer validation as they didn't ask me and i didn't think to ask until i went back down to parking garage. -customer service was meh i doubt i'll go outta my way to come here unless for some strange reason i was already in the area. read more

The restaurant was hard to find, small and crowded. I seriously don't get what's all the hype about this place. Fast-food style service and quality. Food was so unbelievably bland and unauthentic, especially the pho, even canned beef broth tastes better than the pho broth here (where is all the flavor from the spices???). Neither the banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) or the pho I ordered came with a decent amount of meat in, and the meat didn't look very fresh at all. Both dishes didn't look the least bit appetizing when they came out, even though I was so hungry. THE ultimate worst pho I've ever had in my entire life, served with leftover rotten beansprouts and basil leaves from days before as well. Won't be coming back to try other dishes. read more

This place is okay. It comes out to about $9 for a small pho with about three pieces of steak or whatever choice of meat you choose. It's very little amount of noodles as well. Not the best bang for you buck. Also, there's no free parking so we made the choice to park in the garage of that building but the pho place does not validate parking so we paid $6 for 20 mins. :( read more

re: lunch well, i've never gone during busy hours, because I do not want to wait in line. Unfortunately, the last two times I went which were this week and last week, due to the crowdiness I had to stand and wait for my food near the online pickup. I was very horrified to see the caucasian cashier and one of the other gentlemen behind the counter commit health code violations. The cashier went from handling money to jumping to the sandwiche line, grabbing the bread with the gloves he just used to handling money. Then he went back to the cashier to help the next customer. The other older gentlmen who was jumping in between the sandwiche station and the stir fried area had gloves that had been worn for some time as he had touched some dirty dishes and then went right back to cooking without changing. They didn't contaminate my food and there were plenty of observants who were there standing. Kind of shocked none of them said anything, but I was pretty grossed out about this. If you go there when it's busy, I was able to clearly see the many infractions happen on both occassions. I will not be eating here again. read more

Not open as posted on yelp. I am standing here at 4:45 pm on Thursday and it's closed.

Large pho is actually $11 and small pho is $9. I ordered a large P3. For $11 you get undercooked noodles, 2 half meat balls that doesn't taste like meat balls, a few scraps of bean sprouts, and lukewarm soup. The only thing good in the soup is the steak, which was pretty tender. Other pho places charge about the same or less, but you get better pho than this. read more

I haven't had their pho yet, but I've had their banh mi sandwich. I have yet to find an amazing banh mi place in Seattle (I'm quite picky about my banh mi, but my BF suggests maybe people here have different tastes), and this one comes close. The bread is a bit dry, but better than the other places I've tried here. And the meat, veggies, and sauce makes this banh mi pretty tasty. But alas, I have yet to find the perfect (in my opinion, anyway) banh mi here--bread that is slightly crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, slathered with yummy mayo, and stuffed (and I mean stuffed!) with pickled veggies and meat. Doesn't sound difficult to make, but the ones I've had here are dry and bland and lacking in ingredients. The banh mi here, though, comes kind of close. read more

This review is only for togo order of Banh Mi. This place is always really packed everytime I go here. But the line to order went pretty fast. Service is alright, you can tell they are working as fast as they can do bring out the food. I usually get my Banh Mi within 5 to 10min after I ordered. I wanted to try the pho here, until I realized they don't have tripe or tendon that I usually like in my pho. I think it's the only place in downtown bellevue to get Banh Minh, it is decent, but not great. A bit more expensive then other vietnamese place you can find in seattle. read more

The pho here is surprisingly good, but the service is a little slow.

Good bahn mi. Consider ordering online, if you want to save some minutes of your lunch break.

Have tried quiet a few things here and all have been great. Tofu bahn mi, vegetarian pho and curry tofu dishes are all good. Docking a star for service. They get really busy around lunch time and they have a small place here, best to go early or a little late if going for lunch. read more

It's better than the nearby What the Pho, but I wish it was open for longer than just the lunchtime rush. Definitely one of the better Pho places in Bellevue for flavor, but there are better pho places in Seattle. Very self-serve as it's a small restaurant, but they're very quick about clearing tables and getting your food out. read more

I should probably give it a 3.5 but I don't think it's a 4 star in my book. The service has been courteous and the food has been fine. I think it's the best Vietnamese restaurant in Bellevue for non-pho items. It's good for lunch but not cheap for what you get for lunch. read more

My most fav pho place in the Bellevue area. Nice,simple, cheap, awesome food options. Perfect lunch spot. Also, one of the very few spots that make a great flavorful veggie broth. read more

The meat was exceptionally good for a pho place but $10 for a large Pho seems a bit pricy. The service was fast but this only gets 3 stars because the water tasted funny and the bean sprouts were old and not fresh. The soup was also very oily so I imagine not as healthy as I was hoping for. read more

Great pho, super fast service and big portions. I came here on my quick lunch break in downtown Bellevue. The line was long and almost out the door, but I ordered and had my food in less than 10 minutes. I ordered a small pho which was very big and filled me up. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Ordered bun tofu and it was really good. I am trying a Vietnamese food for the first time and was not at all disappointed .. In fact it tasted real awesome.. A must try place .. The ambience is very normal and the restaurant is small but it's am definitely a good place to try Vietnamese food.. Also they have the option to have you order online and have to-go so that we don't have to wait there for some one to move out. read more

Sprouts were kinda wilted, the broth was very meh, not the worst I've had, but definitely the worst I've had in Bellevue.

Pretty good, but not great. The broth is dark and flavorful, the portion sizes are decent, and the ingredients fresh. I have had better pho, but this is very acceptable. Recommended. read more

This is a nice and cozy place. My daughter loves the spring rolls. Service was great. Nice job!

The pho was 'meh', and was light on the noodles. The flank was fattier than I've gotten anywhere else. Overall not bad, but I have no intention of eating here again. read more

The Banh Mi here is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch in downtown Bellevue. The food here is generally great, though I have to knock a star off of it because of a to-go order of bun recently--while I was eating one of the egg rolls, I noticed a string that kept going off of the eggroll as I was pulling it away from my face. Turns out that it was a massively long black hair inside of it. I was definitely grossed out, and I think it will take some time for me to get egg rolls here for a bit. :( In any case, I'm able to forgive it because, I've had no qualms the other 10+ times I've been here. I'm certainly guilty of having found my own hair in my self-prepared foods on accident, but I hope they have hat-wearing rules! read more

I visit this store quite often, must be 2-3 times/week, I guess. The popular foods there are pho (come with beef, or chicken,or veggie, or seafoods), N9 tofu bun, and sandwiches. I usually got the spring roll too. This is a small place, everyone knows that. However, I think people come here probably for their good foods. If you come in at the rush hours (from 11:30-1:30), there is a noticed line. But the fact is the foods come quite quick (~10 minutes) for 10 people in line (I just estimate it). You can see that they have really limited staffs working in here. And they are doing as fast as they can to serve you. However, they are friendly, smiling all the time when they bring you foods, and apologize for your waiting so long. The thing I like is they make mistakes sometimes but they do listen to you and fix it right the way. I got one time wrong order, and once caught them without gloves. I told them, and they were sorry for that. Well, I forgave them sooner than I could even thought because I really like their foods. read more

Don't try to switch up your order because the language barrier is tough. I wanted shrimp and mixed veggies with noodles and got shrimp with (just) onions and rice. Fixed by slapping on plate with noodles but subsequently found a hair in the shrimp and onions. Food can be good if you order right (by the numbers). I don't think I'll return. read more

I'm very accustomed to the pho cyclo out on broadway, so I was pretty excited when I found out that there was a bellevue location. The broth here, in comparison to the broadway location, is very salty and oily. Also, I feel like they were very skimpy on the noodles and veggies. I paid about $9 for a small bowl of pho when I could've gone to than bros and got a large bowl for $7. read more

Go to Pho Ever instead of here. I went at 4PM so my experience may be skewed since they were close to closing. Either way- the broth was tasteless. The sacing grace was a spicy citrus sauce that they served with it. I had to ask for 2-3X more of the sauce to dump in the Pho to give it some taste. No music was playing, the ambiance sucks, service was OK, but there are much better Pho places in the area...such as Pho Ever. read more

The veggie pho is pretty good.

Best value for lunch in Bellevue. Fast, tasty and hard to beat.

I love this place. The food is great. It's fast, and even when they're super busy, every person I talk to is very nice.

This joint is close to my job so I decided to give them a try and I am happy I did! I actually called a head to order pho ga and crispy rolls. The food was ready with when they said it would be and it was delicious! Will definitely be back!! read more
