    Came on a rainy, Seattle Sunday...looking for some warm noodle soup to soothe...Pho Tai definitely did that, and for a very reasonable price. Came by myself after a decent walk from my daughter's apartment, so was really looking forward to the late lunch. It was still pretty crowded inside...once I was noticed, was asked by one of the staff to pick any table which I did near a window. Water was brought right away, and the menus were already on the table that I had picked. Pho Tai lists their menu on-line, so I already knew what I wanted. #28 Cha Gio ($3.75 each): Deep fried egg roll with minced pork and vegetables. It came out quickly and had been cut in half, with a typical sweet chili dipping sauce. It was very heavy and dense, and full of meat and vegetables. I wish they had given some romaine lettuce to wrap it, which some places do. But I did appreciate it comes individually (i.e. don't have to order two like most places do). #17 Pho Tai, Nam, Gan, Sach ($14.95 for a large): the named proteins here are steak, brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe. The broth was really good, slightly sweet, had a decent amount of beef flavor, but wasn't overly oily at all. It was also served at the perfect temperature: just hot enough to slightly 'cook' the thai basil and fresh bean sprouts added after it came to the table, but not so hot that it scalds if eaten too quickly. For me, tripe and tendon go really well in pho and is a must....but so are beef balls, and there was no combination that had all of those. Will definitely try that next. They open at 10:30 am, based on when they have the right amount of demand. I mention this because Pho is very much considered a breakfast food for some of us, and most of the locally owned Pho restaurants in SoCal open quite a bit earlier for breakfast. This isn't the case here, which makes sense, since in this area, the majority of restaurants are regional Chinese and authentic Indian. So glad for this Vietnamese restaurant and hoping to make at least one more visit before I go back to SoCal.

    Ordered two spring rolls and a side of vegetables (which I thought would be romaine lettuce and pickled vegetables as pictured) but instead got old broccoli and moldy browned cabbage. The quality has gone downhill. It's so disappointing. I think this place also needs to be reevaluated by a health inspector. Nothing tasted fresh. The spring rolls peel was stale. Such a bummer. I used to love this place.

    Been here multiple times since my first review. This is now our go-to pho spot in Bellevue. For the price, the pho is delicious. Their meats are consistently good quality, and their broth is tasty. A casual spot, service is fast, they let you choose where to sit.

    Nut allergy: The spring rolls are served with a peanut dipping sauce. Pho has no issues. Plenty of seating inside. Service was incredibly fast (four bowls of pho out in less than 8 minutes). Our noodles came out slightly undercooked (clumpy) but weren't too bad after a few minutes. The broth was lightly flavored, still tasty and not too salty. A solid amount of meat in the Large bowl. The normal one seemed like plenty for most people. You can ask for onion or steamed beansprouts. Great spot for a fast lunch.

    We were looking for some quick lunch with zero line. And this was it! They said to seat ourselves anywhere which we did. The menu has quite a bit of things in there. But I ordered brisket and tripe soup and teriyaki. The food came out pretty fast. But the server wasn't very attentive and we would always have to call them if we needed anything. The ambiance is casual and seems like a cafeteria/ food court. The food though was very good, and the prices are cheap. It's definitely a good place for weekday lunch.

    #17 I already it because it was delicious! I recommend this dish

    The food is delicious, the service was okay. They ask you how many people are eating. Only brought myself today. They told me to pick a place to sit. When it came to ordering, the menu is already at the table. They serve you water first, that's great love it. They ask when your ready to order. I normally take my time to look at the menu, the menu was very good. I can see and read clearly. When it comes to ordering, the women just asked what I want to order. It felt kind of rushed haha. But it's okay. I just told the lady to give me a moment. Takes them about a minute or two to get back to you, depending how busy they are. That's a perfect amount of time for them to get a customer. I order a number 17 of the menu, it took them 2 minutes to bring me my food. When the food came it was a here you go and leave. The server is friendly yes but no smile towards the customers. A friendly environment is what makes a restaurant. Out of it all I would rate this 3/5 food was amazing! Service was ok

    The food (Pho) was good, especially the broth. The broth has good flavor. The service was great. A Pho place that you can choose your table kinda ambiance.

    Best Photai I have been to gives great portions and better Vietnamese stop ever for sure.

    Number 17 Large

    I love Pho, and there unfortunately aren't too many delicious places in Seattle/Eastside to fill this craving. So when I saw Pho Tai as a potential place to get this scrumptious noodle soup, I paid this restaurant a visit! I went on a Monday around dinner time (~7pm) and was promptly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual with tables and booths lining the walls and middle of the restaurant. When I went, the service was very lax - seating was first come first serve, and you had the choice to pick wherever you wanted to sit. I initially wasn't sure if I was going to be served when I seated myself and was wondering if I needed to flag down a waiter to get a menu and my order in, but fortunately I didn't need to do any of that. As for paying the bill, you have to go up the register (at least for me) to do so. I got the number 17 large pho ($16) - the size was large, but I would say the actual size is something more of a medium bowl. This critique is based on other pho restaurants I've tried, and I was left wishing for a bit more in terms of size. The bowl was more like 25% meat (a couple of slices of steak/flank/brisket and a bit of tendon) and 75% noodles, which left me wanting a bit more in terms of protein. The broth had decent flavor and the warmth was much needed on the rainy day that I went. In the end, I would say that that though the flavors were decent, the price could be a bit better (maybe $2-3 cheaper per bowl), but that's just my opinion. Due to the limited options of pho on Eastside, Pho Tai would be a decent bet if you are looking to fill that pho craving for the time being.

    There's good pho here, but the parking situation is horrendous as it shares the parking lot with the extremely busy Asian Family Market. Things that I noticed: clean tables, way too small napkins, nice background music, good pho broth. I got the seafood pho, which has shrimp, crab meat, squid, and scallop. I would recommend NOT getting the large since it's basically the same size as the regular but with more soup. Other than that, the pho was tasty.

    Service was very much rushed, questions were repeated for a speedier response. The food came out quick but was not very hot.. the server brought out the second bowl and then placed the receipt down and lagged before leaving as if expecting payment right away. We haven't had the chance to eat, let alone add some sriracha. It felt unwelcoming especially since they did not serve the table next to us a check with their food. The food was flavorful but the ambience was thrown off.

    Do not get the curry
    Keira L.

    Who are the folks giving 5 stars on here? My husband and I have had pho from countless places in WA and other states. This is the worst pho we've ever had. Stay away if you have had decent Vietnamese food before. Also stay away if you're vegetarian. Beef Pho lacked flavor and no real pho spice smell. The noodle was too starchy like it wasn't cooked well. The vegetarian curry (which I thought was a safe order) was barely edible. I've had better microwaveable curry before. The curry came out cold with raw vegetables thrown on top. I'm talking about raw broccoli, bell peppers, and cabbage. I had to ask them to please heat up my curry. The menu said it was their best seller. Lychee bubble tea was the only thing decent.

    First time trying this spot and the food was amazing! Got seated quickly and the service was excellent. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be having a good time as well, all occupied on their food. Would definitely recommend (:

    Do they use veggie broth for veggie pho?

    No. We went and were informed that there were no vegetarian options. Had to leave and find another place for dinner.

    Is this place vegetarian-friendly?

    Yes, it is. Although number of items are limited. But their veggie pho is good.

    This place in Factoria has some big portions for prices that scale pretty well, and I'm surprised…read moreit's been here for a long while yet I've only tried it now. This was on a Friday night at almost 6pm and my friend and I came in to a nearly empty interior that filled up throughout our stay. Is it just dinnertime that time or were my friend and I bringing in the crowds? You'll enjoy a very clean and well-kept restaurant with clean tables and chairs, with lighting that's very little but lights up the whole place well. Menu has a lot of offerings (both regular and vegetarian) but since it's dinnertime I decided on a rice dish as usual. I got their beef short ribs rice dish, which has their usual marinated short ribs with a fried egg and veggies. I actually liked how they offered their rice in a separate bowl, and everything else on one plate... which means the meat almost covered my whole plate! By the way, my friend got their grilled pork chop rice dish, and the meat also almost completely covered his plate. Both our meats were marinated so well and held in so much flavor, and came off their bones easily. We both agreed the grilled beef short rib dish I ordered was the winner because of the bolder and more defined marinated taste of the meat. I've tried so many Vietnamese restaurants and almost exclusively get their beef short ribs rice on the first visits of them, but this is the first time I've seen meat portions this huge for a rice dish. I'm thinking of coming back here for another visit even if I have to deal with the tight parking plaza this place is close to.

The only 2 drawbacks. for me was ... instead of pork belly, they use chicken, i think white meat cause the meat is very dry. The second is they don't offer a lot of fresh herbs with this dish. Just some cilantro and one small branch of Thai basil Next time i order this i will definitely ask for pork belly instead of chicken in my banh xeo. Definitely recommend you trying this restaurant.

Luckily, we quickly got seated, and our orders got taken. I asked for extra cilantro, and they perfectly accomplished that. I ordered the Pho Tai, medium-sized, which was about $16, sort of average pricing for pho. The meat quality was just good, but the broth was flavorful.

I have come many times over the years and the servers dont go out of their way to be nice. Thats fine, since pho restaurants usually have that vibe of just coming in for your food. But the last time i went, they did go out of their way; unfortunately to be RUDE instead. My friends and i came in at 8:30; we knew they closed at 9, but we had our orders ready, and they sat us without an issue (as it seemed). They then gave us attitude and rushed us the entire time. My friend asked the girl server with glasses for extra veggies. The server visibly hesitated, said yes, but then tried to explain the veggies were to portion. We said we understood that but simply wanted more. She agreed, but then proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the time. She ignored us when we said thank you, and stood behind our booth without saying anything; waiting for us to get up and leave. The other server (asian guy, about 20s, with a mask) who had sat us, stood and watched us eating the entire time. When he brought us the first two bowls of pho, he said it was x item, then randomly waved his hand at me to tell me it was y item (my order). It wasnt lol. When he rang us up, he basically threw us our reciepts to sign. In the past, it once took this same server my entire meal to refill my water and in the end he never did it. I didnt think coming in at 8:30 was crazy, especially when most of the restaurant was filled when we pulled up and we knew we could finish up by 9 (which we did). If youre going to ruin our meal AND experience because we came in at the last hour then dont bother seating us at all. And if youre going to have this much resentment at the end of your shift for giving customers extra veggies then learn how to say no. I as well as my two friends each have worked in customer service for a long time. We know its annoying to have late customers, and i dont know what kind of day they had. Its still unreasonable to behave like this at their grown working age. Like i said; learn how to say no, maybe your shift wont be so miserable. And dont take it out on your customers; its a terrible business look. Ive tolerated the small things like them not being the most friendly or forgetting to fill my water; ive once overlooked them giving me the wrong order before. But i will not be coming back anymore since i prefer not to have staring competitions with my power-tripping server.

I've had this bookmarked foreverrrrr, but finally had the opportunity to indulge for a leisurely lunch with family earlier today (6/6/26). Thankfully, the other three in our party had hot pot experience. I've only had shabu-shabu and malatang, once each time, today was my first hot pot culinary introduction. A family member had made reservations awhile back and this is strongly recommended as the check-in/reception area was packed by 1115 am. We were brought downstairs to our booth. Chilled lemon water was provided as each of us pondered our choices for our customized hot pots. After placing our orders via tablet, there were some snack items to peruse like chips, peanuts, edamame, and fresh fruit. Dipping sauces were prepped by our kind waitperson. There are also additional ones at the sauce bar to select from to further customize with your meal. I really liked the cucumber and Napa cabbage kimchee/kimchi as my accompaniment. Shortly thereafter our broths (tomato, spicy, creamy pork) were brought out, hot plates turned on. Platters of assorted vegies and greens, mushrooms, shrimp, quail eggs, lotus root, Spam slices, and tofu sheets, as well as, bowls of noodles and steamed rice were placed on our table. Nicely plated selected sliced meats were then brought out. We had selected wagyu beef, two sets of boneless beef short ribs, and lamb flap. As a newbie, I was overcooking my proteins, but eventually got the hang of it. This was my first meal of the day, so the portions brought out were generous and filling. The broths and water glasses were periodically refilled and waitstaff checking on us too. Likewise, one could have additional servings of noodles and rice. At the end, we were each provided with soft serve cones to cool and cleanse our palates. There is a time limit in order to turn the table over to be cleared for the next reservation. Also, make sure if parked in the underground lot, to bring your ticket along and have it validated at the check-in/reception stand. I'm glad I did this since our meal here and coffee/dessert at an adjacent site at The Bravern was four hours and saved myself from paying $18 - $21! An enjoyable, celebratory meal shared with family at The Dolar Shop!

    My first experience with Chinese hot pot and the whole experience was solid…read more It is similar to other hot pot places but a little more upscale. You order everything à la cart. Quality of meats (beef, seafood, and chicken) and veggies are good with items you don't get at other places like beef artery, which is good. End of the meal they have a dessert bar and a solid soft serve ice cream cone Service is excellent. Very attentive staff.
