Went here for the first time today and I was instantly thrown off by the inside of the restaurant.. then, I ordered my meal and I specifically said 3 times that I wanted the beef pho cooked all the way since that was an option and the waitress told me all three times that the one where the beef cooked medium rare was better and a better choice. She wouldn't stop telling me that over and over even though I asked nicely to not have that then last minute because she wouldn't stop until I changed my order I changed it to the medium rare. It was very very pink. She insisted that the meat would cook with how hot the soup was but I was very hesitant and turned off. I am aware you can eat medium rare meat, but I was not comfortable with it nor did I want to, but she made me feel like I had no choice other than to order it. It never got cooked as she said it would (no surprise there) so I only ate the noodles.. also, she wouldn't stop talking to us and she was nice I will say that but she wouldn't leave us alone.. also, the cash only wasn't an issue until she kept an extra $10....i counted back my change twice and used my calculator..I am assuming she took it as a tip. I never said anything I just wanted out..I'm sorry it just wasn't a place to return to in my opinion. read more

Survive is great honestly had to review it cause the coffee is good we were at an appointment wanted coffee but stumbled on this hidden gem food smells wonderful we WILL be back everything is made freshhh read more

Absolutely delicious Pho! Very flavorful and rich soup with rice doodles and whatever protein you may want. I got the spicy Pho with shrimp and rice noodles and it really hit the spot.. BUT let me tell you; it's probably the spiciest soup I have ever had! I generally enjoy eating very spicy and I thought I could handle it. The server did warn me that it was extremely spicy but again, that was my bad for underestimating her lol. I would definitely try this place again but I think I will stick with the original Pho and just request a side of the sauce or broth. The sever was very friendly and chatty and it added to the experience. FYI, they only take cash so make sure to bring some, otherwise there is a bank/ATM next door. Definitely give this place a try! read more

what a surprise! I was looking for a new place to get Chicken pho. This place is it. The smell of pho as you walk in is what hits your first. The place was spotless CLEAN. and you can tell they take pride in that. a bit on the spendy side but when I got home I realized the amount of chicken that was in the broth was well worth the price. enough for two meals for sure. I'll def be back CASH only. read more

Glad finally found a good pho place in town, small menu, limited selection however the pho was delicious, small quiet family own restaurant, friendly service. read more

This place has some great Pho! Aside from the great food, the service was great as well. Their menu is a bit more limited than what I am used to seeing at a Pho place, but what they do have they do very well. Also no appetizers which was a bit of a bummer. They are CASH ONLY so come prepared. read more

Moved here 8 months ago. By far the BEST pho in Tri-Cities. Giving them a deduction in ratings just because they are "cash only" is ridiculous. The pho is good and the restaurant is clean. That's all you really need. read more

Pho Le - Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

You know, I've been a loyal customer for many years even after random days of early closure, random days of running out of food and even starting to charge to use credit cards but when I went back a few weeks ago and they had a sign for cash only, I had enough. They also raised their price for pho close to $15.00 with tip and tax so when she told me to go across the street and come back to pay in cash, I declined and walked out. I'm done. You can only be so inconsiderate to your customers before they finally leave for good. Their customer service just kept getting worse through the years. This was my final straw. read more

The owner or person at the front is not nice and obviously doesn't care about business. I have gone it twice now and she has turned me away because I don't carry cash and she says there is a $10 limit to use card. I even tried to reason with her saying I will get two things to charge my card but I want it under $11 dollars and she says sorry nothing on menu adds to that it's more. So I said you obviously don't want my business and she doesn't seem to care. Horrible customer service and doesn't care about her business succeeding. After I posted this review this was the message I received No customer service at all. And the fact that she felt the need to message me after review shows. I obviously am not the only person who has gone through this since there are many people who have posted reviews and she specifically messages them after. Not ok. read more

Pho Le - No customer service what's so ever - Vietnamese Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Before we even sat down we were shown cash only twice. The menu has "cash only" and "no sharing" plastered throughout. It was so negative that we decided to leave and not even try the place. Too bad. We understand a cash preference but it's a turn off when being that aggressive about it. Being in business these days, you need to expect to offer other means of payment, and seriously, who cares if people share. read more

My first time here and it was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and courteous. Food was delicious. I'll definitely be back.

Service was terrible we didn't even sit down and eat. We came in as a group of 7 and there was no worker to be found for 5+ minutes. When she finally came out she told us in a very rude manner that we have to sit at different tables or just wait because she was busy. Upon walking back to the kitchen she spoke in Vietnamese, "they're Chinese so just let them wait", obviously not knowing that half of our group was Vietnamese. It's understandable for me to have to wait for a table but to be treated in a rude and disrespectful manner is unacceptable, especially when they're the ones who are understaffed. Update: I recently was harassed by who I thought was a random person on yelp through multiple messages and "compliments" and ended up deleting and blocking them, but after looking into it further this person coincidentally has only one review and it's for Pho Le. I saw another yelper had the same thing happen to them and that's just ridiculous and very unprofessional. read more

The pho here is better than ever. The broth has been delicious the last few times. Ingredients are always fresh. (Yes, sometimes they run out of pho. I'm fine with that as it implies they make it fresh and there is demand! Go early to avoid this.) read more

Yelp says they close at 9. I pulled up at 7:30, the lights were off and they were closed. What a bummer. I don't want to give this place a terrible review but the only way Yelp will let me post this is if i leave star rating. The food is supposed to be great when they are open, according to other reviews. So I recommend you call ahead. I ended up at Pho Lao Laan Xang but real bummer since the mission was to try out Pho Le for the first time. read more

Passing through town and stopped by for lunch. Not much to choose from the menu but the pho was excellent! Totally hit the spot.

We are in the process of trying all the Pho places in the Tri-Cities (having moved from Seattle) and rolled into Pho Le for lunch today. It was squeaky clean and the lady behind the counter was friendly and attentive. Although the menu is limited to (around) 12 items, the quality of food is wonderful and the portion sizes generous. We've come to understand you pay 50-75% more here than in Seattle, but the bowls of soup have been larger in size. I only wish that Fox news wasn't blaring in the background and the menu offered spring rolls to go with the soup. Otherwise, it was a solid bowl of Pho. read more

Okay ive been to this location four times since their grand opening. The restaurant is very clean for beginners. The pho is by far head and shoulders above their competition in the area consisting of Yummy Pho, Columbia Market in Pasco, Lotus Oriental Market in RIchland, and random thai spots scattered throughout our desert atmosphere. Everytime i went to this location i ordered something different every time to ensure that you are gonna get quality food all around. We ordered the vegetable spring rolls ehh Yummy pho has them beat The combo vermicelli bowl was wonderful with its huge serving the #6 pho is some of the best broth ive tasted since Pho Sandy in Portland Oregon The #30 combo with the fried porkchop/two eggs over rice is to die for, very appealing to the eye. The best thing on their menu if your coffee lovers like myself is the Vietnamese french style pressed coffee, it has this subtle nutty tone to it but the kick gives it the title of Liquid Crack its soooo good. Definitley check this place out, for the price your paying its definitely worth every penny read more

Hands down now the best Pho in town. My former four star rating involved the salad rolls, and although they still make them without basil or mint, they'll add them by request for free. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. I really love coming here -- lunch or dinner! It's great! read more

I consider myself a pho specialist. While I won't say this is the best pho anywhere, it is definitely good quality and consistent. I eat here 3 times a week and pray it stays in business since it's so close to my house!! Rule of thumb, never order pho from a non vietnamese owned restaurant. Update, as of late, the pho has changed for the worst sadly, not sure what item was removed or added, but it has been noticed by several of my friends and we don't like it. In general, I dislike the spring rolls and they are probably the worse of any viet place in town. I love the owners here and enjoy discussing the daily events or what is on TV and they are highly attentive to you. My ranking has changed from a 5 to a 3 read more

Try the hu tieu with prawns, great broth! The com tam dishes were great too. They give a nice variety of different Vietnamese morsels. I thought they had a great selection of Vietnamese food that is friendly to the local palette of Tri Cities. I found it much more authentic than Pho King. The location is right of Clearwater, so it is convenient to those shopping at Columbia Center, no more than 5 minutes away. read more

I love... love... LOVE soup with noodles... so it only stands to reason that I would also LOVE pho. And I always want to try different places to see if I can find the prefect one. I read about this place on Yelp, and it had some pretty good reviews so I though... what the heck... I'm in the neighborhood, so why not give them a try. When we arrived I was STARVING!!! So, we decided to start with an appetizer. They have a fairly good list of things to chose from, but we went with the standard spring rolls. When they arrived at the table they were HOT! I waited as long as I could for them to cool... I picked one up... dipped it into the sauce they provided... and it was pretty good. Nothing really stood out, but they weren't bad at all. So, I thought... well... the soup as got to be good... right? My soup order was the shrimp pho. My husband ordered the wonton pho. Before our soups came out, the server brought us a plate that had bean sprouts and two small wedges of limes. I thought...well... that is strange... where is the chili peppers and basil? I didn't say anything because it could come out with the soup. Well, the soup arrived and no chili peppers or basil. To be quite honest, I'm not a big fan of the basil, but my husband is. I was missing the chili peppers though. The server had already scurried to the back so I was unable to request the missing items. So, I dressed my soup the best I could with the sauces that were on the table. The soup LOOKED good, and there was a GOOD amount of shrimp. They were also a good size and looked fresh. So, the first thing I did was dig one out and eat it. My first impression was... EH... they tasted VERY bland. Just boiled with NO seasonings. No biggie though... they had egg noodles so I was happy. Next was to try the soup its self. Wasn't impressed at all. The broth was also very bland. I was expecting so much more. Again, it wasn't terrible... just lacked SO much flavor. I had to even add salt to the broth which didn't really help much. Hubby said that his was also very bland but didn't taste bad. I think I'll just stick to my regular pho place in Pasco because in my search so far hasn't turned up anything better. read more

I don't know why the bad reviews. My husband and I came during lunch hour so the place was busy with to go orders. This is a mom and pop place so only 1 server for everybody. They only serve noodles or some rice plates, no appetizers or desserts. The lady was friendly and courteous to us. Our orders came out about 10 mins after ordered, wasn't bad for being busy. The noodles by far was better than the other places, not too salty or oily. Give this place a try if you feel like having pho. read more

Solid broth & noodles. Small bowl for $ 16. Not much meat. Nice couple runninng the joint. Unfortunately, not too many choices for proper Pho around Tri-Cities :( read more

I was actually really looking forward to eating here. But it seems that they pretty much took down half their menu items. Their pho is decent. But I was excited for the rice bowls shown in previous reviews and pictures. I arrived and was surprised to see such an empty and small menu. I was also told that my sister and I cannot share a plate??? Which I find to be a bit ridiculous. And I wanted to order their grilled pork rice plate. But they told me they were out of pork so shrimp was my only other option. I ended up leaving and going elsewhere. ***UPDATE*** Pretty sure the employers are the ones sending rude messages back to those giving them bad reviews. My review is only a truthful reflection of the services and experience You provided. Btw, I don't think owners should be giving their own places 5 star reviews. Customer service is a bigggg part of what makes a restaurant successful. Also, having food in your restaurant might help too. read more

Just shut down already. The terrible attitudes here make the new very limited menu even worse. Even scaling back, they still run out of food before noon on a Saturday. We just stopped going since you never know if the food will even be there when you go, plus the a-hole service. No thanks read more

Terrible services!! We asked for a small empty bowl for my son so we can share our pho with him because he can't finish one order on his own and they don't even have appetizers we can order for my son. The lady said they don't have bowl for us to share (how come last time they did?!) Then not even gave a cup of water for my son. We ended up emptying out the small plate had bean sprout and put noodle and meat on it for my son. We took turns to use spoon. Omg..I have never been to a restaurant like this. On top of that, I saw Samantha's message. As a Chinese, I feel being offended. Will never go back again. I wish there's a half star I can choose. read more

This place has amazing broth but that's where the rave review stops. I hate that the last two time I have shown up to this place they have been out of exactly what I want. Once we showed up at noon and they were already out?! It's also disappointing that they force you to order two plates no sharing, boo. Pho is a huge insalvable dish. This on top of them continuing to raise the price is disappointing. The service is always a bit cold and unfriendly as well so they have seen my last dollar. Update: Originally gave this place 2 stars but after reading Samantha J.'s review we dropped it down to 1 star. Fuck this place and their racist ass shit. read more

Tried my first pho here and I love it! I've tried multiple places but we keep coming back it's so good! Definitely recommend and the lady (owner I think) is so nice and friendly I'd keep coming back just for her lol read more

Wonton soup is always my go to! I call ahead to make sure they have it before ordering. They are such good people. Support a small business. They do only accept cash. read more

Still good pho but they are cash only now and it's takeout only after 5pm which doesn't work so well if you want to go there for dinner. Prices increased but that's to be expected with inflation. read more

Someone recommended me here and surely enough the pho is good. Meaning to try other but establish much but this one has a drive-through window. With three young kids that is super convenient for me. The lady that takes my order is always nice and gets my order right. $15 for basic pho is a bit steep though. read more

Used to love this place, but now it has gone down hill... I always make sure to call ahead and ask if they have pho available, they respond that they do. So I load up the car and the kids, drive to their store, and upon walking in, it's a disappointment. We're greeted with "you eating to go?". It's two for two that this has happened now. Will not be going there again. read more

We recently moved to Tri-Cities from Charlotte North Carolina and no offense TC but you have some work to do. We had a bunch of Pho places back home and we were scared to venture. This place is legit! Try the number 10 but you have to be down with the spice because it is hot! Not practical joke hot but you will have a mustache when you are done. My girls got the 1 and 2 and the shrimp pho and they were fantastic too. We will be regulars here. Also, the waitress is a sweetheart. Bottom line, this is a true pho place and will not disappoint. read more

THE BEST BROTH! The best Pho in E. Oregon & WA! Both chicken & beef broth are so good and complex flavors. Other places just taste like canned chicken broth with 5 spice. But you can taste the Time it took to get the broth this good. Plus the chicken is pieces off a whole chicken, the way it's torn & added to the broth adds a better flavor too. You can easily get in & out in 30 min here for a lunch break, but be prepared to take home left overs from the giant bowl of soup. read more

No Easily the best pho in tricities, hands down! But unfortunately they close their restaurant early quite often, so id recommend to call in to make sure they're open before heading over there. read more

Do not go to this restaurant unless you wanted to be treated like crap. We had a party of 7 and no one was to be found. There were customers around but no waiters/waitress or a cashier. We waited for about 5 minutes until this lady came out. We asked if we could be seated and she responded in a demeaning loud tone across the room where everyone could hear: "I'm busy right now, I don't have time for this!" Some cook from the back yelled what was going on, to which the lady replied in Vietnamese "It's just Chinese people, let them wait." - how do I know? Well I am Vietnamese. We were shocked and appalled that for an establishment that lasted this long didn't have any sense of courtesy for their customers. I cannot say anything about their food, but even if it was Kobe grade A5 with a killer deal, I would not go here for the lack of proper customer service. read more

Do you wonder why there are so many one star reviews for this place? If you take the time to scroll through all the reviews, you'll notice the customer service absolutely sucks and this is one of the reviews that will help to confirm that. They aren't open when they list they are open, they have slow customer service, they don't serve what's listed on their menus. But here's the cherry on top of the crappy restaurant sundae - they are just straight up rude. I'm not talking normal rude, I'm talking wanting to leave a bag of poop on their doorstep rude. Although it's hard to find good pho in the tri-cities area, it's not worth giving these discriminatory people money and keeping them in business. read more

I used to love this place for their pho and salad rolls (even though they are definitely not traditional salad rolls) something has changed with their pho, the broth is so weird and has like a chemical taste to it. It's so sad. I love the owners they have always been so nice and remember me each time I have come in. Another down fall is they are always "sold out" or closed during their hours posted. read more
