Pho Saigon is semi local to me but I still have to go out of my way to get there. It's a top 3 place for pho and maybe as i continue to go there I will try other things. Service is a one man show who works as hard as anyone I know. You won't wait long and he is very happy and friendly. I wish I came more often but it's nice to know the place never changes and is a great place to eat! read more

Really disappointing experience overall. Tables were dirty. The interior and exterior of the place represent the food and customer experience... lacking, needs improvement, needs more depth. The pho was very disappointing. The broth was bland, watered down, and slightly sweet with no depth of flavor. Service from the man with the micro ponytail was poor and very impatient. When we asked about the rice combo dish, we were told that several items shown on the menu and in the photos are no longer available because "white customers don't like it," which was surprising for a Vietnamese restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go next door to Lang Viet by Fred Meyer. It is less than a one minute drive. read more

Pho Saigon - Front door - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

10 stars. The grandpa who owns and runs this place is super cool. Best pho I've had all year and will continue to have for the rest of my life, because everything about the pho is perfect. It's a classic flavor with robust vermicelli noodles, fresh cuts of meat, and thick slices of jalapenos & bean sprouts on the side. The tea offered at tableside for free is lovely. The staff is patient and attentive. The decor inside this restaurant is adorable and cozy. The bathrooms are neat and clean. The ambience is often peaceful but lively. Other pho places blast the radio or k-pop and it starts to get really grating, but this place keeps it serene. It's a perfect, vibey place for a date or a personal celebration. Always love coming here. The owner is always remembering people and greeting them with a smile. They recently changed the prices on the menu to add a 3% credit card fee and $1 extra charge for to go orders, but it's understandable. With this amazing flavor, this restaurant could get away with charging 22$ a bowl in Bellevue downtown and I'd still support him and his family anyway. Definitely worth the drive if you're near Kent and are craving a bowl of the best pho you'll ever have. read more

I'm from California, specifically Fresno, and we pride ourselves on having great pho. This place is legit. We were thoroughly surprised and the ratings are spot on (4.5 stars). Our party of 4 all ordered pho and we all loved it. Several ate without adding anything. Our server Paul was a fantastic. He gave us above and beyond service, one that will be remembered for years. He didn't just serve us, he gave us an experience. This was a spotlight on this trip and had us thinking about this place every day. Wish we had the time to go back. I hope to visit Seattle again one day to eat here again. I can't recommend this place any higher. read more

First time visiting Seattle and wanted to find a good pho place to eat. It's always a hit and miss but The pho here was absolutely delicious!! I had #11 and my husband had the special pho with ox tail and beef ribs. The meat was fall off the bone - very tender just the way we liked it. The broth was clear with a slight bit of oil just the way we like it. It was soo good I didn't add any extra sauce like hoisin or siracha fearing it would ruin the flavor. It was so good we came back 2days later right when it opened just eat before our trip back home. I would definitely come back here again. The host Paul was very friendly-you could tell he actually loved his job. Place was clean. read more

My wife and I were in the area to pick something up and stopped by for some food, I had a vermicelli bowl with pork and Eggroll, she had the chicken Pho and I must say, this may have been the best Vietnamese food we have had in a long time, perhaps even ever. The owner say's he's been here for 23 years and when you sit down to eat, you can definitely tell, the quality is there! The eggrolls were super good and seemed to have some kind of lemongrass in them, the pho broth was incredibly balanced with tons of savory flavor. The service was super friendly in a family owned restaurant kind of way. We will definitely come here every-time we end up in the area now. read more

Pho Saigon - #24 Pork and Eggroll Rice Bun - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

This family-run Vietnamese spot serves rich and affordable (for today's standards) pho. The broth is deeply flavorful without being salty. The warm service makes you feel like a guest in their home. I noticed a lot of returning patrons which is a great sign of a local staple. Note: there is a $1.00 fee for takeout orders and 3% surcharge for credit card payments. read more

Pho Saigon - Large pho tai nam (Rice Noodle W/ Rare Steak & Well Done Flank) - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

I really wanted broken rice combo plate, and I thought I was gonna get it from this restaurant based on the menu pictures that were posted on Google Maps. However, the restaurant server on that day (10/23/2025) informed me that their special broken rice combo dish didn't have certain components in the dish that would make it complete. So I had to switch over to Pho because other reviews also praised the soup as well. I had to admit that the Pho here is really good. You know how usually when you eat Pho, the broth isn't very flavorful but always seems like there's too much water being added to the mix? Well, it ain't here at Pho Saigon. You'll enjoy and appreciate this during your hangover or rainy weather fix. I had to knock 1 star off because I couldn't exactly order the rice dish that I originally came in for and the restaurant didn't have enough ingredients to make the dish anyway. read more

This place deserves a Michelin star! Like seriously 10's across the board. The man that was working who I think might be the owner was more than just welcoming, he really made my morning. I'm coming off of food poisoning and just needed some good soup! He greeted us with so much respect! The ambiance of the place was really well kept, even though he was the only person I noticed working he was on top of everything with everyone coming in, taking their orders, bringing their food, etc. Just honestly well done!!!!! read more

The restaurant was spacious and cozy! There was only one person tending to my party the entire time so the wait time for everything was slightly longer but he was so kind to us. He did say that the place gets busy on the weekend so just be aware of the timing if you did decide to go during that time. The portions are very generous for the price and I could see myself making this my go to viet spot! 25. Rice Stick W/ combo shrimps, pork skewers, egg rolls: 10/10 everything in this bowl was so flavorful! The nuoc mam was a great addition to everything too, I feel like this a well balanced bowl 11. Small Rice Noodle W/ Rare Steak, Well Done Flank, Tendon & Tripe: 9/10 the dish came out nice and hot so that was nice. The meat to noodle ratio was perfect, I had a bit of meat for each bit of noodle I had. Only thing is that the soup is very oily. The vegetables are very fresh and adds a nice herby texture and taste to it! read more

My family ftom California just recently visited Phở Saigon in Kent and had an absolutely delicious meal. The beef ribs and oxtail phở were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I also tried the lemongrass chicken rice, which was incredibly tasty and full of authentic flavor. On top of the amazing food, the service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and my family definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Having Christmas Eve dinner at Pho Saigon was wonderful. Phuc (the owner) was so delightfully warm and friendly, & the pho was 10/10 -- massive portions, delicious broth, & high quality beef. The chow mein dishes were also very large, & the chicken was perfectly cooked. We will come back!! read more

The oxtail pho is tender and a great price. The owner runs the place like a mom and pop restaurant which I like. He's very personal and sometimes is really busy. We love this place and don't go anywhere else. read more

Pho Saigon is my favorite spot for Pho, but the Sleeper dish, at least for me, is the Vermicelli Salad. I like the pork with shrimp. On the warm, summer days, coming up, it is a sweet and savory dish, full of flavor, that just screams, summertime. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

We are from Honolulu where pho is a thing and I've tasted some of the best outside of Vietnam. Found this place here on Yelp and it was about 15 minutes away from our SEATAC hotel. So we got a ride share to Pho Saigon in Kent, WA. We walked in and it was bustling with patrons eating in and others waiting for takeout orders. The gentleman seemed very busy and asked us to take a table near the front. We were there for pho for sure but I also was thinking about an appetizer or side dish. After looking over the menu we both decided to get the highly recommended pho people on Yelp were talking about. He came to our table and mentioned pho was the fastest as his Sister who is the cook was backed up with phone orders. Perfect! We ordered 2 bowls of Oxtail & Rib Pho. It was LARGE and way too much for me but worth the $25 per bowl price tag. It came with the usual fresh basil, bean sprouts, and jalapeño. This is a family owned and operated establishment that has been there for 22 years. You could tell that most of the customers were regulars as the owner thanked people by their name. I definitely recommend this place. We will be back when we are in the area. read more

Not sure why there are so many great reviews? We went there recently for lunch and the food was so bad that my friend and I stopped eating our rice dishes halfway through the meal. The meat was pre-cooked and thrown on the plate. It looked like it sat in the kitchen for several days and a 6 year old kid made our food. When we ordered our drinks, the owner told us to grab the drinks from the fridges in the dining room. Definitely not great customer service. This was one of the worst meals I've had in a very long time. I am kicking myself for not going to the Mexican restaurant next door instead. read more

Pho Saigon Garden is such a gem. I've never seen any food blogger/ tiktok about it and am really surprised i haven't because it's so good! The owner is so sweet and he automatically split our large bowl of pho without even asking if we wanted to when i had mentioned we were going to share. If you like a more medium light body broth that's well flavored and doesn't hold back on the fat this place is for you. This might be the best broth we've had in a while for a pho spot in washington state (really surprised as a Vietnamese person) It has a very home-y taste to it. The cuts of meat were definitely thicker here which is nice if you like a bite to your meat and it's still soft. Shrimp spring roll we also go was nice fresh and crunchy. Will definitely come back if we're in the area!! read more

First time trying this place with my husband! We got it to go, but got to meet the owner when we were there. He was such a nice guy and the pho was delicious! It's definitely worth the drive out there, highly recommend trying! read more

1st time here 1/15/2025 Found this spot on Yelp Food: We ordered the mix pho, vermicelli noodle bowl, and boba taro tea. We also thought we ordered the Vietnamese sandwich and some spring rolls, but our server must not have gotten that order in. That was okay, though, since we were full from the first two dishes. The portions were huge and filling. Overall food taste was exceptional , the pho broth was quite tasty. Service: Oustanding Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful. He suggested the pho which was okay. Ambiance: CON: I'm sorry to say that I'm subtracting two stars because the place looks neglected. It has a cozy, earthy feeling, thanks to the plants, which I like. However, it falls short. The plants create a warm atmosphere, but they need grooming. I'm unsure about the empty water bottles in the plant box; it looks messy. I recommend disposing of the bottles. The rugs are worn, and the place needs sweeping. The ice cream pictures on the fridge are damaged and should be updated with proper photos. A small tea cup was also dirty. Hopefully, someone will take this feedback and make improvements to draw in more customers, given that appearance plays a significant role in people's judgments. PRO: Lots of available tables and chairs, good for a big group. Plenty of parking. Good location, easy access to the I-5 freeway and right on PAC Highway. Lots of other businesses around; with a few minor changes, it could do really well. read more

Amazing pho! Our go to for pho in the area. Service is always outstanding and pho is flavorful and consistent. Their pho is a little on the fattier side (which I love because I always ask for extra "nuoc beo", rendered beef fat, on the side anyway, here I don't have to). Highly recommend! read more

Literally the best pho in all of Washington State, I've tried so many restaurants and nothing compares to how flavorful and how in depth the pho broth is here. I've been coming for the past 6 months and the pho is always consistent in flavor, I know that the pho is gonna be a hit everytime I come here! Shout out to Paul for taking his time on the broth and incredible service from him! read more

If you are not eating Pho here you are missing out. I do love Pho and actively seek out Pho places wherever I travel. This is not only off the chart standout yummy but also a family run operation with a friendly and personable owner. Just do it! read more

The wait time was very long, and the food was disappointing when it finally arrived. It lacked flavor and did not meet expectations. Service was also slow. I would not come back. read more

Wow, I seriously can't say enough good things about this family-run restaurant and the hard-working owner, Paul. This place is pretty far from where we are in Issaquah but anytime we are in the area we make it a priority to stop by. The broth is sooo flavorful and savory here. They give a generous amount of noodles and meat and the large is only $1 more than the small! Everything is so well-priced and affordable. The pork spring rolls + unique non-peanut sauce are super yummy and a specialty of the restaurant. Great for those with a peanut allergy! I also like that each table gets their own piping hot tea kettle to go with the meal. Even though he's always so busy running the front of the restaurant by himself, Paul makes time to talk to customers and make them feel welcome. He genuinely wants all customers to have a positive experience and always asks us if we have any feedback. He's really such a great guy and super funny! I honestly don't know how he manages to keep up with all the front-of-house duties by himself, but somehow he does it and he does it well. We felt tired just watching him running around! Pho Saigon is definitely worth the drive for both the food and the people and it's why we keep coming back! Oh and funny side note, we always end up leaving with some sort of chocolate, candy, or sweet treat courtesy of Paul which is very kind and generous, haha! read more

Amazing food and service!! Like others we were also able to meet the owner Paul who was so kind- he initially said the food is so good we'll be coming back every week and at first we weren't sure but then after getting a taste found that it was SO good! I got the chicken pho which was so yummy I dove right in and forgot to take a photo till half way through and my friends got the Steak/Meatball Pho (not pictured) and also really liked it. We also got the Fried rice with only pork and no shrimp and that was also very tasty not too salty. We will definitely be coming back again! read more

We wanted oxtail soup and Pho Saigon showed up on my Yelp search. We came on Sunday and the place was busy. The wait was maybe only 5 mins but after we got seated more people showed up and waited much longer. We order the #1 Vietnamese Egg rolls, #5 Oxtail & Rib Pho, #6 Special Mix Pho, and #9 small Eye round Steak and well done Flank. The food was delicious my son ate the whole bowl of Oxtail soup and said we need to come back again. The service was a little slow bc the place was packed but the gentleman who sat & took our order was doing his best. We will definitely come back but maybe during the week or earlier for lunch as to avoid the crowd. read more

Yelp led us off the freeway to this place for pho. It is in a very odd place that you might not otherwise see as it tucked in with a mexican grocery store and a pot shop. We went on a Saturday evening and there was only two other tables in the restaurant but the owner was the only one working and service took a long time. He had us seat ourselves, and get up and go get our own soda, which was kinda odd. The PHO was OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD, though. So were the spring rolls. We really enjoyed our tasty and flavorful food but the service was so odd and disjointed that it was kind of a weird dining experience. The owner was super nice but just seemed very overwhelmed. I think he was doing everything, including cooking the food. Come here if you have a decent amount of time and want good pho. If you want excellent service you might want to check another pho place out. I want to repeat that the owner was very sweet and funny and the pho was some of the best we have ever had. The restaurant itself is old and a little ran down. Easy parking. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. read more

This place was amazing! We stooped at lunchtime on a Sunday, the service was great. Paul was so welcoming and friendly. It was my husband's first time eating Pho and he told him he would be addicted when he left. Boy was he right! We both had pho, he had the number 8, beef, and I had the veggie with fried tofu. Both were spicy, both were excellent. But also can't say enough good things about the service. Gold stars all around! read more

Delicious! Paul was wonderful and friendly and the food was fantastic. We got the pho with beef and brisket. We will definitely be back.

the service is great the person that took my order was so nice and respecful, looking f to come back soo!

Spent 24 hours in WA and desperately needed some soup after my flight. As a Southern California native, I was impressed with the authenticity and quality of pho here! This is the real deal. The owner/manager/sole server here was clearly really proud of his food and enthusiastically told me that his pho was really good, and he wasn't lying. I ordered the pho with rare beef on the side so I can season it with lime, sriracha, and hoisin sauce before dipping it back into my soup. The quality of beef was great. The best thing about pho is the broth for me. Not only was it wonderfully seasoned but there was a perfect thin layer of fat on top. This fat is important because its flavor and also insulates the broth underneath. I like my soup HOT and the broth stayed super hot for a long time. It was a great bowl and I'll definitely be back :) read more
