Best Pho in the south Seattle area. Great portions and prices. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Not my go to for pho because in the past the quality of food was lacking. But I was starving and brought my baby with me. When I walked in the server told us to sit by the door and I asked for a high chair. She pointed with her chin saying it's over there. I asked if she could bring me one and she said no. I asked her why and said she was busy. I responded to her saying, you're too busy to bring me a high chair? Fuck you. I walked out and left to go to the pho tai in Burien where they brought me a highchair and the food was so much better especially the egg rolls. read more

I don't recommend ordering the Chicken Teriyaki because it didn't taste right, chicken didn't really have that good color(it look like a grey brownish color together), it tasted dry, not really any flavor to the chicken, didn't really have sauce on it, and if you're taking it to-go and open it really doesn't look right at all like you'll see chicken doesn't actually have no sauce on it which usually the chicken would have the teriyaki sauce on it already and it only had it on the rice which surprisingly the rice didn't taste weird. Your stomach starts hurting after a awhile and you feel sick. The price wasn't worth paying for either unfortunately if it was a lot better I would of gave it a better rating read more

Delicious Teriyaki, good price, polite staff. It's out go-to for Teriyaki and Pho (and Bahn Mi sandwiches!) Food is made quickly, and always satiates. read more

Environment was warm and welcoming, food was just as good if not better than anywhere else you'd go to in Seattle. Def recommend 10/10 would recomend to a friend. read more

Was driving down the street looking for some Pho and happened to just stop by here. The place was pretty clean and had a wide variety of options for all of us (meat eaters/vegetarian)! We were greeted with a warm welcome by one of the hostess' who made sure to check up on us occasionally. Food came out at a decent time and tasted really good!! Pretty simple Pho but didn't disappoint and kept me full for hours afterwards. Highly recommend this place. read more

Pho Tai - Veggie Pho was tasty!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

This was not good quality food. The Katsu banh mi I ordered was undercooked. I had to pick at the ingredients. Also, the Taro bubble tea I got had somewhat rotten tapioca balls. I definitely will not be coming back here. read more

My fiancé and I were looking for some noodle salads and we ended up at Pho Tai. After we ordered our food, I decided to read their yelp review. To be frank, it was not good. I was reading that customers found BUGS, DIRTY UTENSILS and GREASY FOOD. After reading, I had second thoughts about coming here. I was thinking perhaps, I should leave, since I didn't pay yet or should I just give it a chance and take the risk? I decided to stay and give it a shot. My fiancé and I got home and opened up our to go boxes. The food was delectable. NO BUGS, NO GREASY FOOD AND NO DIRTY UTENSILS. Nevertheless, I decided to use my own utensils. The price is really good. 7 dollars for the noodle salad and they were very generous with their portion. Yes, I will be coming back soon. =) read more

I have been to this place a good amount and every time I leave happy. I like coming here because you usually have good service, sometimes I have had it where they take awhile when ordering iced coffee but nothing to worry about. The place is always clean and everything that comes out of the kitchen looks very good. I usually only order pho and spring rolls, I dine in and to go and it is always good. This time I wanted chicken katsu and it was a Sunday which means usually every teriyaki shop is closed... I went in on a hunch and was greeted right away and I grabbed a menu to look it over. To my surprise they made chicken katsu and I ordered it to go with excitement, The lady took my order and gave me a huge glass full of jasmine tea. I assumed I was going to wait awhile since she gave me a huge glass, it was very thoughtful but I couldn't cool it down in time because my food surprisingly came to me fast. I told her sorry the tea was to hot, I tried to drink it to be nice but I decided burning my taste buds would not be a smart decision. When I got home and opened my meal it had a very nice presentation and looked so good, the panko breading was a nice color and still was perfectly crispy, it reminded me of when my wife makes it (she still makes a better katsu). All the sauces tasted really good, they also had a respectful amount that gave you the decision to use it on everything if you wanted and that's a plus. They don't give you a huge amount of rice but instead a perfect amount, I have seen a lot of rice from other establishments serving teriyaki before and to be honest, you shouldn't be eating that much rice anyways... Every meal I have had here has tasted very good and I always am very happy to come back because I know I'm going to eat some good food and the staff is always friendly especially when I bring my kids in, a couple times our server complimented my wife and I on how well behaved they were. The atmosphere seems a little cramped when you walk in but it is a decent size place if you're dining in, you have plenty of tables to choose from, I recommend a table by the windows or a table by the wall. That way you have a better view of the street by the windows to let your mind wonder while you eat or a table by the wall that gives you a more private feeling. Once you sit down you will notice it is actually a relaxing spot and if someone is sitting by you if its busy, I have never had a problem and have found that most people keep to them selves or are very nice. read more

Pho Tai is one of my favorite spots to grab take-out. $7.95 for a huge box of noodles, bbq pork, veggies, and an egg roll is an unbeatable deal. One complaint: often when I come in here, even at off-peak times, all of the tables have had people's dirty dishes on them. Clearing tables should be a high-priority for the staff and unfortunately it isn't and just makes the place seem dirty and unkempt. read more

Solid and reliable pho. Great Vietnamese food. Generous portions and friendly service. There's like 4-5 other pho spots in the area of similar pho quality. Go here if you're relatively new to pho or prefer a spot that's bright and clean. Another edge I think they have is that a lot of their non-pho offerings are great. The rice dishes and vermicelli bowls are excellent. I wouldn't necessarily drive across town for the pho here. But I definitely would for the pork chop. The pork chop rice dish here is delicious and served with TWO eggs cooked sunny-side up. Two! read more

Delicious Pho, I am very picky with my pho. HUGE portion of meat. Messed up my ratio of Noodle to Meat per bite. Noodles were cooked just the way i liked it, a tiny little al dente. Broth was very aromatic and full of beef flavour, Just what I would expect from a pho joint. sit, order, pho comes out fast, eat and pay. Will be back read more

I was so surprised to look this place up on yelp and see it has such a low rating! I was desperately in need of a quick lunch one day, and driving along 16th in White Center I decided to stop in and eat here. It was mostly full of Vietnamese folks, which I always take as a good sign. I ordered a small chicken pho, as usual, and it came out very quickly, as usual. But this pho! Hands down, best broth I've ever had. Ever! And I've tried all the other supposed best pho places in Seattle. This broth was rich, complex...yum! The chicken was like real pieces of chicken too, not those creepy composite looking things that some places try to pass off as chicken. Like most pho places, you pay at the counter, not the table. I was in and out fast, and oh so happy! I will definitely have to return soon to see if it wasn't just a fluke. read more

I've seen the cashier bus tables, take money from customers , and prepare peoples dishes all without washing her hands . This place is filthy! Look around at the floor and all the dirty tables. And watch for hand washing ! I won't go there ever again! read more

I give it three stars because the young woman, Andrea, is amazing and deserves ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD!!! I have spent my last dime in the past two weeks before my Unemployment runs out b/c I love PHO! It is a comfort food for me and I need a lot of comfort during this times. I paid a little too much for it, but Andrea was so sweet to me that I did not complain to her about it as she is young. My mother passed away of Coronavirus and I have three high risk condition and I was in there when it was very busy and I was upset b/c people eating in the restaurant were not wearing masks. She said she shared my story with others to encourage them to wear masks, but that they just did not care. I find that unbelievably and tragically said. The PHO NOODLES AND VEGETABLES ARE AMAZING, but the problem with this place is the meat...it is rubbery and there is not enough, like they are trying to save money on the meat. The overall flavor to me is good. read more

The only place open on Christmas... we HAD to. we just HAD to. We ordered take out and had the most incredible noodle bowl, with all the fabulous additions you can put in yourself... like lime, herbs, fried onions, rice, hot sauce... it really hit the spot! And was the PERFECT end to a perfect Christmas! (A side note: would probably not ever dine-in there... ambiance is not so good... and the fluorescent lights kill my soul...) read more

I tried this place because it's conveniently located and I needed some pho therapy for my cold. Sadly, it was not a therapeutic experience. They have only small and large sizes of pho and the large size ($6) was more like the size of Than Brother's medium. The broth was so-so and the meat didn't smell too fresh, ew.... I had a spring roll that wasn't very good as well. They served it with straight up peanut butter for dipping.... !?!? Oh well, time to move on a try the plethora of other pho joints in the neighborhood... read more

I love this place we had such good food and they let the service dog sit at the table with us when the other place didn't, dog friendly pho sure. read more

It's a gamble! This is where I got my pho cherry popped...so of course, it will always hold a place near and dear to my heart. I do have to say however, that depending on who knows what factor, your order may get mixed up, there's a chance that you'll be rushed out the door, and/or that your meat is not fresh. (WHO likes bad meat?) It's in a strip mall so I guess you can't expect much but you probably want to order your pho to go...take it home. Unless of course you prefer bad lighting and lots of loud noise! read more

I used to go to Pho Tai all the time when I lived near White Center, because it looked the cleanest out of all the pho places in the area. So I was pleased to see that this was still here when I came to visit the West Seattle area. Since it was a gloomy day in Seattle while taking my boyfriend's little cousin around the city, we decided on some pho. I ordered the pho ga and she ordered the pho with steak on the side. We were both very pleased with our bowls. Although, it seemed as if my bowl had more noodles than hers when we got the same size. I had to give this place only 3 stars, because the service has lacked since I haven't been here in nearly 4-5 years. And it doesn't seem all that clean as it used to be. But I will say that this location is cleaner than the one located on Southcenter Parkway. read more

I'm so happy this place is nearby! We tried multiple pho spots when we moved to the area but none compare to this one. The pho is awesome and they are very prompt which is all I really want and expect from a takeout driven spot like this. Definitely recommend for yummy take out. read more

Pho Tai is my go to Pho spot in WC. My bank teller (and self proclaimed taste maker of white center) referred me to this restaurant and I'm so glad o took his recommendation! Their broth is on point with just the right amount of anise, and they don't skimp on the meat. The tendon has the perfect amount of bite to it, not too soft or chewy. The vermicelli bowls are so good! The pork is perfectly marinated and charred, I can't get enough! The location is humble and the owners are very friendly. Such a great part of the community. read more

This is our go to spot for Pho. The staff is super friendly and the food is consistently good.

Went there prior to bowling, party of 10. Accomodating when I requested to put our cake in their fridge while we ate. Food was good, meat was tender, noodles galore in each bowl. Appeared to be fairly clean. I, nor any of the party members visited the bathroom -therefore cannot speak for it. Why the 3 stars if everything sounds fine? Well, its because of the service. We had this waiter who either did not pay attention to what I stated in the orders or just forgetful. I've repeated myself couple of times, no biggie. What bothered me the most was the fact that he had no patience. My S.I.L requested the thai ice tea, she said although she didnt see it in the menu she saw someone else have it. So something came up and we got side tracked on her order, he just rudely interrupted. Look guy, if there were a bunch of tables awaiting your service then fine, I get it. But in reality, there wasn't. Nor read more

Pho is amazing and flavorful! Good sandwiches too. The Katsu is yummy and fun to eat as it is chopped in pieces then fried so yummy amount of crispy fried goodness read more

I love eating the pho here, especially the teriyaki because they cook it just right and you also get a decent amount as well. My brother loves the dumplings here and their prices are cheap. read more

The customer service wasn't the best experience. Don't get the bubble teas!! (especially coconut and taro) they don't taste like the flavor but more like ice. read more

Only place I go and like to eat pho. U have been going there for years. Looks like they changed workers bc they were rude.

Don't do it. Ordered chicken and gyoza. Never been, so I figured they couldn't get this one wrong. I was wrong. The chicken tasted old and the sauce was unfamiliar to me ( I eat Asian food ) I spent $30 to go get McDonalds I the end. Very disappointed. read more

This is my favorite pho place to go to! I have never had a bad experience when I come here. The food is always great!

Really fantastic Vietnamese restaurant. The best one I've found in White Center so far. I had the vermicelli bowl with pork and egg roll. It was a very large serving with super fresh veggies in it. I'd come here again in a heartbeat. And undoubtedly will. read more

I went here last week on a Wednesday and the staff is very rude. When I walked in the lady did not offer me a menu until I asked and they were rushing me to pay at the end of my meal by snatching my debit card out of my hand. Other than the snotty attitude I received , the food came out quick and was good for the price that I paid. The meat was cooked well and the broth was delicious. read more

I received the most welcoming smile the first time I came in. I've been coming here frequently for a few months now (it's the closest Pho from work). The noodles are great but I never get a Hi, Hello or a smile from the main server anymore. She will thank the other customers but she stopped acknowledging me shortly after the initial visit. Sometimes, Asians can be snobby to other Asians...just a feeling. Service is just as good as food in the Restaurant industry. read more

I order a large chicken pho. I asked the server what broth was in the chicken pho and she said it was mixed chicken and beef. I said why did you do that? I love pho broth. She said that it tastes much better. Apparently, I'd be fine IF I saw on the menu that says chicken pho contains beef and chicken broth. I DO NOT want beef broth on my chicken pho. And the menu didn't labeled it BEFORE I ordered it. I felt this chicken pho was misleading and it should be labeled on the menu. I also want to mention to the servers NOT to ask me if I am Vietnamese even though I look Asian. Other people won't mind, but I do. I don't know you well enough and I just met you. I do not take personal questions like that lightly. read more

Honestly, for the price, this is a solid pho place. I haven't been to many places in white center but I trust the kind people working here! Get the bun no hue tasting dish (I forgot the name). read more

Solid pho and an outstanding chicken katsu banh mi! I also like the pho bho ko (a sweet and spicy pork stew with cinnamon flavor!). Service is always fast and friendly. My favorite pho place in WC since White Center pho was sold. read more

I only got the pho, so I can't give an overall rating but yes, the noodles and toppings were great! The broth had flavor but not a lot, really sweet too. It was still an overall good experience. I definitely going back to try the rice dishes. Really good prices! read more

Pho Tai - They do not skimp on meat!!! I alwats order my meat on the side and was not expecting this pile! :,) - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If I could give a 0 I would. It was like they added water to the peanut sauce to make it last/spread longer for customers for their spring rolls. I will never go back. No wonder why I've been going to the Burien one for 18 years. Same name, same logo but not related at all. Never effing again will I waste money at this place. Literally ended up throwing it away. If you are looking for the best around, go to PHO TAI BURIEN in the Safeway plaza off of 148th! The best you will ever have!!! And the ban mi is best at the place in white center just north of the locker room bar, definitely not this place. So mad for spending money at a place that waters down their shit to save money. Just straight nasty. NO GO. read more

I had Pho here the very first time I was in Seattle 4 yrs ago. I make a point to find a Vietnamese restaurant everywhere I travel and none compare to this! The broth seems less salty than others I've had. Just went again last week and I can't wait to come back! read more

This place is solid. Good food at a great price. Service is great. Here st least once a week.
