If you are going to charge $11 for a bowl of Pho, it needs to be extraordinary. Unfortunately, the soup at Pho Ha is mediocre at best. Situated right off of the highway in Shoreline, this once mom and pop Vietnamese takeaway has revamped their interior and is now marketing itself as "Saigon street food". The interior is hip and modern, with lots of polished wood, kitschy lighted sign, and even a vintage Honda scooter on display in the front. Based on the ambiance and theme alone, the prices are double of those at a typical Pho joint. I was happy to find that their menu has a specifically vegetarian section, offering vegan vermicelli, tofu curry, pho, and lemongrass tofu/rice entrees. All of the other Pho options can be ordered in two different sizes, but for some reason the vegan one can only be made as a large. The portion was indeed very large-too much for me to finish on my own. The soup had a generous amount of fresh bean curd and vegetables, but the broth lacked flavor and needed a lot of additional sriracha and hoisin to be enjoyable. There also were not as many noodles as I expected, considering the huge bowl of broth. My boyfriend has equally underwhelmed by his Beef Pho. Their iced coffee comes pre-made with condensed milk, so if you are vegan, ask for it black. Our waitress cautioned me that it would be extremely bitter this way, but I actually liked it. $28 for two bowls of Pho and a coffee just doesn't seem right. While the meal was not bad by any means, it was not good enough for me to return or recommend. read more

Food is very good; we eat a lot of Vietnamese food (my wife is Vietnamese), and it is some of the best around. Bánh mi, rice dishes, vermicelli bowl, pork, pho all very good. Service is why Pho ha gets some lower reviews, we've had low quality service and we know others have. Not sure if it is because they are under staffed or under experienced, but I know they are working on it. Come in, be patient, check in with the servers frequently, and you'll be fine. Enjoy! read more

I am a regular here not only because they have good pho but they are open till 11pm! I haven't found another place near by yet that is. I am so glad that often, they are the only option after I get off work late but one that has decent food too! The interior is nothing to write about - it's a little run down but most average asian/pho places are. The staff is friendly enough and I think it's funny they always ask you "is there anything else you need" right when they bring you your order but they don't really come back again to refill water or anything. It's really fine with me since I'm a no frills pho eater - get in and get out! I am never disappointed in their pho and I totally love their hot chili sauce (I think it's homemade). Here, I use this sauce in my soup rather than the sriracha. For non-pho item I like the curry chicken vermicelli. Yum! read more

One of my favorites. I like how they prepare their chicken pho. Unfortunately many pho restaurants no longer provide cream puffs. With the variety on their menu, you don't need to think about desserts. read more

I used to go here a lot when the original owner owned it and haven't been back for a long time. I went there just recently with my boyfriend and it was completely changed. The entire decor of the restaurant was different which I didn't mind it was nice. The pho wasn't the same as before but it was still pretty tasty pho, my boyfriend asked if he could get all the different beefs in his pho and the waitress had a difficult time figuring out how that was suppose to work. When we were paying we asked for a take out box for our left over pho, the waitress went to the back room and gave us a soup container with cilantro and sprinkles of soup left over in it. Maybe it was just a one time mistake but I don't think I'll ever go back. read more

Pho Ha - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Something happened to my restaurant... It's cool and all that they have a GrubHub and other takeout means but the restaurant food quality has a dropped incredibly, the Banh mi was mediocre at best. Absolutely no flavor to the garlic beef stirfry. I had it at 3:30pm maybe I was in between shifts on cooks or something but was not impressed at all they recently changed the sign to say "street food" and didn't really see any evidence of street food that wasn't overpriced or one step away from heat and serve frozen food The only reason I'm Putting this review up is that bubble tea and Phò is something that anybody can make this was a good restaurant to get other good traditional Vietnamese food and now it seems like they've lost that focus read more

This was one of the first locations I ever tried Pho, and I have to say that it set the bar really high. The pho broth has a unique flavor, to the point where you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. It's some of the best I've had!! The pho options are also quite extensive. More extensive than most pho places I've been to. I usually stick to the flank options, because that's my favorite. The meatballs here are also mouth watering. Recently they've renovated the building! It used to be bright green and looked a little run down, especially since it was next to a small strip mall and an enormous McDonald's. With the renovation it's so nice inside, with beautiful floors and rather elegant. Overall, I'm a big fan! read more

Well, the peanut sauce is just disgusting. The veggie pho broth has no flavor. The wet lettuce in the spring rolls makes the wrapping soggy and the rolls stick together in to go boxes. Definitely will not be coming here again. read more

Horizontally sliced vegetables were crunchy and flavorful in my Kung Pao Shrimp. There was an aroma of both ginger and fresh cilantro wafting over my freshly made meal. It was the perfect thing for what I was craving; something that felt healthy but still tasted delicious. The shrimp still had the tails on, but were carefully prepped to remove both the veins and hard shells, but also, the hard stuff near the tail was peeled back so I could chomp down on the shrimp and not get any hard stuff in my mouth. The spring rolls were a fresh, delightful surprise. There are only two in one order, but they're huge and they each have a piece of fresh shrimp inside the delicious soft, soypaper they are wrapped inside. Along with some crisp veggies and a bit of something that tasted like fresh herbs there's a satisfying crunch of tempura crumbles. I ordered the coconut beverage which was ice blended and came in a to-go cup. It was pretty huge. The size was at least 20 ounces of creamy, icy drink. I could taste real coconut milk in it. More pluses? They're open until 11:00 and really easy to get to. read more

I pass by about 4 or 5 pho places on my way to Pho Ha, including one that's one block away from where I live. I consider Pho Ha the best pho place around. Also- give the oxtail pho a shot- don't be put off by the name- it's my favorite! read more

Ordered through Uber Eats. Great food, but the driver forgot to get the drinks and instead of going back, told us to go to the restaurant. Unfortunately by this time Pho Ha was closing in 15 minutes.

Go to Le's Pho Tai across the street instead. We got takeout here one night when Le's was closed. They have these weird thick chewy noodles which are NOT the typical pho noodles and I did not like them at all. I thought maybe it was a fluke and they ran out of the normal noodles but today my boyfriend accidentally mixed up the restaurants and ordered takeout from here instead of Le's. Not only was it the weird thick noodles again but the broth is so flavorless and the "rare" steak was precooked so by the time you put the broth on it, it's already overcooked. Possibly one of the worst bowls of pho I have had. I haven't tried their other dishes but a pho place should be able to make pho correctly, so I won't be trying anything else from here. read more

Okay... where do I start. I consider myself to be a pretty patient person and don't mind waiting a few minutes before being serviced, but this experience was different and not in a good way. A few friends and I decided we wanted to grab some late night pho and stumbled upon this location (it was not my first time there but I did want to introduce my friends to a place that I thought was decent considering it was open late night and this was one of the few places open). When I had arrived we saw that place was lively and full of people, which was not a bad thing which means the staff was busy. But we waited a complete 5 minutes without being greeted or attended to - trying to be polite and follow the signage that stated "please wait to be seated". Soon after, we decided we would go up to the counter and ask if we could be seated. The man there looked at us slightly confused and told us we could sit at the open table. Once we sat down, we expected to be serviced reasonably soon considering that is customer service etiquette. And again, we were fine with waiting a few minutes. But after 15-20 straight minutes of us waiting, none of the staff members batted a single eye our way. This meant that we had no menu to work off of, and no water to quench our thirst. This was the first time I ever walked out of a restaurant unsatisfied by lack of service and was upset because of it. I get it, they were busy and I won't ding them for that (one star for this), but mannnnnn 20+ minutes??? That ain't gonna cut it. I'm sorry but I'm never going back again. read more

Solid Pho with excellent amount of protein and noodles. I usually have half a bowl of broth left when I get a large bowl, but here I have beef and noodles until the end. Good service by a nice kid...seems the whole place was run by youngsters. When it comes to pho for me it's all about the broth, and it did not disappoint. And, only $10 in a world where a large has crept up over $10 at any good pho joint. I was actually able to park here too, unlike my favorite place up the road. The table next to me had some sort of rice dish with an intoxicating smell and so now I have to come back and find that! read more

I've been putting off writing a review here numerous times. Just busy with a toddler, but no more. I must've visited here at least 5 times, and they deserve a 5 star and more review. They're pho is always flavorful and so is their "egg rolls(Summer roll - the clear vegetable wrapped rolls)." This is our go to spot for Vietnamese food, even tho there's a spot closer to our home, we prefer driving the extra 10 mins north to grab food from this spot. Thank you for always being consistently delicious and always providing very nice customer service. read more

Pho Ha - P2. Steak and Meatball Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

For you to understand how much pho means to me, first let me tell you a little story. I was born in Taiwan and by a really young age I loved the Taiwanese style beef noodle soups, big chunk of meat and great texture noodle, (I know you might be thinking what does this have to do with this pho place, but give me a moment and I will explain) I was so much in love with the beef products like steaks and etc so I had to try out all the big name top reviewed restaurants. This is a example of how much of a foodie I was. Now coming to America when I was first introduced to PHO at the age of 10, they taught me to use the spoon not for soup but for the black sauce that's placed on the table and this red ketchup looking sauce(sriracha) and put a 1/3 of that to mix with the black sauce, then to dip the white clear noodle not too much but enough to coat the outside, then to serve it directly into your mouth. That's when I first fall in love with pho. Ever since that childhood memory I have eaten pho every where I go to try different restaurants. I must had all the pho in the Seattle and Bellevue area. But let me tell you, Pho Ha doesn't disappoint, in fact the first thing you should try in a pho is to try the soup and you'll know how good the pho is by just the broth. This broth is so flavorful that you don't need the black&red sauce. It is so flavorful that you can eat it with just some basil and lime! It's that good! Food 5 stars Interior has that PUBG Sanhok little bike! 5stars And service is a 5, the owner came out and greeted every table and asked how was everything. Overall I'd recommend to any pho connoisseurs to try out this place! read more

Short attention span summary: Fairly bad. I stopped in here to warm up while there was some heavy rain happening. People are always shocked when I'm not wearing full gear in the rain when I'm out on my motorcycle. I don't usually get very wet. However when the 5 southbound is mostly closed and I'm on, because the 5 is hosed, the clogged 99 south and it starts raining hard enough to start pooling in my boots, it's time to take a break. Some hot soup sounded like a good idea. I always like to order the iced coffee using the viet name so that I get a little whiteboy cred. Sadly, it comes pre-mixed in a plastic cup here, but wasn't too sweet. It balances out. I don't order it if I know that it's coming from a vat though. Especially when it's $3. The broth was nearly tasteless. A pretty impressive accomplishment. The meat was all super well done. The noodles were kinda soggy and had likely been made quite some time ago. But really, it comes down to tasty broth. There wasn't any broth, but there was beef-water. There's a difference. No problem though! I'll load it up with some of everything. All pho tastes the same if you put too much condiment in it! Cash onry? Not here, but there is a credit surcharge on orders less than $10. $4.50 for bahn mi here. Notable in only that it's the highest price I've ever heard for one in Seattle or anywhere else. read more

Maybe I should've gotten the pho. I've been on a vermicelli dish streak so I ordered the chicken & egg roll version at Pho Ha then an iced coffee with condensed milk to go. The noodles were too thick or smtg-I can't pinpoint it for sure, but it's definitely not like the ones I've had at other places. It was plentiful but not tasty. Not worth the $7. I was sooooo shocked how bad the iced coffee w/ condensed milk was!!! OMG. I swear, it tasted like black coffee with chocolate syrup or something. It was really bitter and blecccch. I asked the worker to add some more condensed milk, which only made the whole concoction sweeter but not tastier. Then I asked for more iced to try and water it down. Still not good. I had stomach problems later. Ugh. What a waste of $3. At least the woman was nice about it... read more

Something happened here, and not for the best. Back in the day I remember it being some Mexican guys, the cashier and his cousin cooking. This cousin was the one who would cook up the best beef stew I had ever had. We returned not so long ago and the cousins were gone, unfortunately the stew is too. We got our bowls, they were both 90% noodles and the chunks of beef were tiny compared to the good old days. Sad to say, I see no reason to return. read more

Word to the wise - Do not eat here. The pho i got smelled like mildew, whether it came from the bowl or the broth, I do not know, but it was violently disgusting. The place is super dirty, stay away. read more

We come here often Arguably too often. Their pho is hands down one of my favorites , plus the fact they are open late makes it already heaven. The service normally sucks , weve seen a never ending turn over with the exception of the young small guy who cooks in the back. He is awesome super nice , has come out to make sure peoples food was okay etc. The FOH normally stays the same for maybe a month. We've had someone forget to ring in our order, waited long times every once in a while especially if there were more tables. For us though its worth the wait. I'm in no hurry I want to enjoy my time there. Their fried rice is right on in terms of texture and flavor and is simple but good. They have the greasy scallion oil I love and are helping me learn to pronounce it better each time. Small, cozy, and something I look forward to at least once a week. ALSO they make their chili paste in house and it basically doesnt get better than that read more
