HANDS DOWN my favorite pho restaurant and the best out of all of them around here!!!!! They are quick and the pho is sooooo goood! The broth is bomb everytime. Whenever i want to eat pho, i make sure i come over here. It's not that close to my house but it's so worth it. They remember me everytime, so they always load my condiment plate with a bunch of limes & tons of extra white onions and cilantro in my soup! read more

The creme puffs is like the best part. Everyone praise about their pho, but I can find anything particular "special" of Than Bro's offering. One thing for sure is that the pho at Than Bro can be "hotter". Service here is definitely not existence, but generally this place is clean as long as you avoid the ice water. Around this area, not much of a choice; Than Bro definitely fill the Pho niche here. read more

Refer to my other review about the Everett Than Bros with the following comparisons. Service was less that par due to how busy they were. Soup was not as clear and flavorful. Cream puff was dry and tasted almost day old. Otherwise the rest was about the same. read more

Loved it, friendly service, great pho soup & the cream puffs were great. Very much enjoyed it!

Was in the area and had a craving for Pho good thing I have all their locations memorized. Same good consistant Soup that I would get in the U- district. And the oh so delicious cream puff. read more

My favorite place to have Pho besides home. I love how they give us creampuffs before Pho. The prices are decent and the portions are good. They only take CASH ONLY! The service is quick and they keep the place clean. The only bad part is that you come out of the place smelling like Pho all day. Besides that everything about the place is great. read more

Pho is just pure comfort food, on a rainy day, on a snowy day, on a sunny day. It can be enjoyed on all seasons, maybe that's why it has become so popular across many cultures. To me, it's just a bowl of soup with noodles and meat. Nothing special. But I'm not going to hate on Pho Than Brothers just because I despise Pho. There is one good thing, Pho Than Brothers has a secret weapon that caught me off guard. It is also served on the opening of a meal, their cream puffs. Believe me, luscious cream packed in soft pastry, I'm in Nirvana. Maybe this is the reason I'm cutting them slack. It improves my mood before I taste my Pho, so therefore, a good review spills off my mouth. Oh Pho Than Brothers, what forgery, what bribery you have served to me from the beginning. You smart, sly wolves! No comment on the Pho, but GET THE CREAM PUFFS only!!!!!!!! (I need emphasis, hence, the caps lock and the exclamation marks) If you can, order the cream puffs individually, more than what's complimentary. I solemnly swear they're just so wonderful. It makes me sad that every time we eat, they are only served one per person, sometimes I even try to steal some of my friend's cream puffs. This innocent looking cream puff can jump start World War III. By stealing, I mean looking so sad and desperate that my friends can't help but pity me. I know, why do so much for a cream puff you say? This cream puff is my Klondike Bar. Why do you do so much for a Klondike Bar then? Once, I ordered a full batch of 24 cream puffs to go to munch on at home, you should've seen the look on the aunty's face: "You're not here for pho? Who is this crazy little girl? Did you pick her up, Nam? Just give her, her damn cream puffs." This is my guilty pleasure, my lover, my affair, my comfort food. My everything. Oh the things I would do for you, dear cream puff. You don't even know. read more

After experiencing the San Diego Pho places....I HAD always thought w/a bowl of pho came a sample of scrumptious cream puffs...hello. I was wrong by all counts. The owner is cranky - I've seen him patronize customers wondering how long they plan on sitting there talking...having frequented this place like 3 times a week me and a couple of my friends were ever so welcomed, although we didnt feel that way at the beginning. read more

Best Pho ever. The original addiction starter, only it was the Ballard location that hooked me. After having other Pho, I feel like I can taste the freshness of the ingredients including the meat. The broth has a hint of lime sweetness. The prices are remarkably low too. read more

Almost always so consistently good that I don't need to ask myself where should I get a nice bowl of pho!

I really don't like pho, but my cousin loves pho, so he made me eat here with him. We both got the XL large bowl with extra meat. It was less than $19 for the both of us and it was a lot of food. The food came out real fast and we got cream puffs, so that was different and cool. The broth had some kick to it and it cleared my sinuses, so I guess that's a good thing, right? Honestly, this was only my second time in a pho restaurant and my first time in a pho restaurant, I couldn't figure out what kind of meat I was eating, so I don't really have much to compare this place with other pho places, so I'll give it 3 stars. read more

By Odin's balls, I love this place. Fast, easy, cheap, delicious, satisfying. Don't like the cash only policy? Then you probably don't have 5 dollars in your pocket. Best enjoyed with a pho buddy. read more

I got the flank and tripe pho and it was awesome. The broth is flavorful with a hint of lime and they supply a nice amount of noodles at the bottom. They provided all the common toppings and sauces as well. The best thing about it was the bowls are large and CHEAP. I think I got the medium or large for only $5-6 dollars. *CASH ONLY* read more

Amazing! Also the original Pho in Seattle. I haven't found another place like this that has the chili past and the plum sauce, great when mixed together and dipped with the meat!! read more

Food is fine, but not worth the hassle of cash only. Better off going somewhere that uses modern payment instead.

ummm.. I admit they have good prices and their cream puffs are something else. But their Pho? Me think not. The soup is so so, kinda bland and you could tell not broth bones sweet. I've tried another Than Brother's pho in Aurora thought it was okay, read all these review with high expectations and was disappointed. read more

This is place is like home. When all else fails we know we can drop in with empty stomachs and walk away feeling full and forget about any troubles. I've tried a couple other Pho locations, but I have not found one that tops Than Brothers in Edmonds. The price is amazing, even after raising it over the past couple of years. I prefer not to have cilantro in mine because it can just plain get overwhelming at times. They have free cream puffs, but if the one they provide you with isn't enough (who can blame you), you can order more for cheap. It's important to note that they only accept cash. Whether it's for lunch or dinner, I know what I'm going to get, and I know that it's going to be good every time. What more can a person ask for. read more

This has been my go to Pho place for years. Its my go to cure for whatever ails me; sick, hungover, or just plain hungry this place always hits the spot.The noodles are always just right. I can be in and out in under 20 min. With something so delicious and convenient, why would anyone ever eat fast food? read more

The pho here is outstanding, always super hot and delicious. They have really fast service and have complimentary cream puffs when you sit down, they are also really attentive with the water and have really good chili oil sauce. The best pho i've tried so far. read more

We've tried a couple of other pho restaurants and this is our go to place to get pho. The broth is delicious and the service is friendly.

Best pho I have ever had. The broth was a meal in and of itself. Wish I could rent a booth and move in so that I could have this pho for breakfast lunch and dinner. Amazing!!! read more

We were seated at a small table near the kitchen. Cigarette odor permeated the area drifting from the kitchen. No more visits from this group. read more

I always go there at least once a week not only the food is great they are so fast. Sometimes they make think they knew that I was coming. That works out perfect when I go there for lunch cause in oder to finish a lunch in an hour is hard sometimes. Also they serve cream puff for free that is a bonus.. read more

I love love love this place. I always get a small #2 to go. So friendly. Love the fish tank at the door. Staff are very welcoming.

Best veggie pho ever. The service is super quick and you can't beat the price. Been coming here for years and love it.

One day i was craving for Pho because the weather was rainy and it's good to have some soup. My brother came home from school and found out the he was sick (colds). I suggested to make him feel better we should go to have some Pho. My mom suggested the Pho Tan Brothers as they serve with free cream puff. I was like sure, we should go there and we invited dad too. We lived in 120th north of Seattle, near northgate and Pho Tan is by Edmonds. When we got there, there's a lot of people seems like they have a good Pho. And sure they have. We all ordered number 14 which has everything in it. It's the best Pho I have ever taste, although Pho tic tac by 145th is very good too, but they don't serve free cream puff. lol.. and the price is so affordable... from now on, it's my favorite pho place. ^_^ read more

Best place for pho in the area. I frequent this location, as well as the one near Greenlake. It's not fancy by any means, but they consistently have the best pho in the area. They are always ok with modifications too. Even without the cream puffs (which are awesome) they are the best. Priced about average and service is ok - right on par with other places. But in the end, it's all about the food, and theirs is the best. Also -- they sell the cream puffs separately, and pretty inexpensively, which make for a great treat when you need to bring single serving desserts in a hurry (great for classroom parties, kids' sports team snacks, etc) read more

We love this no-nonsense place ! Cash only, dessert and condiments set up front, fast service and the pho is healthy, fresh and satisfying without getting stuffed. Perfect in all kinds of weather and especially at that first inkling of an encroaching sore throat. Restraint is required to not eat the cream puffs before the pho arrives. read more

Gross! Stinks like dead cats

My favorite pho place and they pretty much set the standard on quality and speed, with the bonus of cream puffs. The broth tastes consistently good and served hot, with very generous portion of meat. It never takes more than a few minutes from order to having it right in front of you. The fastest time I had was after placing an order and while I was taking out my phone and loading up the facebook app, the guy is already serving the bowl. Crazy. I have tried many pho restaurant around town and this place has the best combo - good food, great price and great speed. Slightly hesitate to give it a 5 stars because the place could be a bit nicer/cleaner. Just saying. read more

This is the ghetto pho place. Cash only. Loud. Especially crappy service. Food is fine, but not great. Happened to stop, won't make that mistake again. read more

Besides the quick food nothing else is good. Place is not clean, very loud, and most of all, they refused to accept cards(CASH ONLY). I almost got embarrassed when he told me that it's cash only. When I told him that I didn't see the sign at the door he pointed out to behind the counter with small writings. Who looks behind the counter whether they accept cards nor not! Food was not all that great, just an average pho comes with a rude service. read more

Our go-to pho place in the Lynnwood/Edmonds area. It is everything a pho place should be, cheap, hearty, and quick. They serve nothing but pho and drinks, so if you are looking for different Vietnamese food, look elsewhere. read more

I try new Pho places all the time. But Than Bros in Edmonds is the most disgusting so far. Found a DEAD FLY at the bottom of my bowl. . My brother joked that it was not just me who "enjoyed" the fly in the soup but all of the rest of the customers that day because that fly must have been boiling in one big pot used for the day's soup. I took a peek in the kitchen, eeew, dirty! Lady owner did not acknowledge or apologize. Never stood up to check. The lady owner's attention was just fixed on counting the cash behind the counter. And the rest of the staff were clearing and cleaning tables without washing their hands. I can tolerate non english speaking servers but if they are rude and untidy, too, its not acceptable. Unsanitary food handling, poor customer service, uncaring owner. Will never go back. read more

I had just got done talking to my fisherman buddy who had just got back from Alaska, he was bragging about after being out to sea for 4 months that he needed something cheap, quick and easy. .......so off to highway 99 we went. We drove for a while and saw a newer strip mall and decided to get out and walk around. I too now was in the mood for something quick, cheap and easy that would satisfy me and yet would be good enough to introduce to my mother. It was cold out and I was yearning hot and spicey when I noticed a cute Asian gal. I made contact with her and she took my money and within 30 minutes I was the most satisfied guy in Edmonds. I felt guilty but my needs and desires were full filled.........Yes I had some of the best damn Pho in the Seattle area. The broth arrived in less then 3 minutes and I did feel guilty about paying such a low fee for such a hearty meal........and Yes I did take some to my Mom, she lives 8 blocks away. This place is clean, always busy and very quick. I think it's some of the best Pho I have had in the Seattle area. Parking can be tight, but it's worth the effort. read more

Coming from a person who is 100% Vietnamese, this place is delicious (Tried a lot of places and nothing compares). Service is fast as lightening and the price is cheap. The broth is amazing! They put a lot of noodles and meat..and they don't skimp out on it. Plus, you will get one free cream puff for every order of a pho bowl. REMEMBER TO BRING CASH because its CASH ONLY. read more

So my love and I are both under the weather. Yuck! What better way to cure your sickness away then a big steaming bowl of pho?Even the menu has something to that effect. The Pho was good, and hot, but needed a bit more soup. I felt inclined enough to go back to the kitchen and ladle in some more soup like at mom's, but didn't. Hehe. We got the #14 filled with all the goodies. The place was CROWDED when we were there. Service was brisk, fast, but friendly. Prices were good.No need for seat warmers, because people come and go enough to keep the seats warm. The MSG wasn't too bad, I judge by my tummy, and she was ok but a bit rumbly. The cream puffs, were decent, but then again I am bias, not like my mom's! The lemon drink, meh....tasted artificial. Will not order that here again. As others have said...CASH ONLY, leave the plastic at home. Will I be back.....sure you got it. And for the idiot at the next table who looked over after I left, yes I did tip, but left the tip in the jar at the register. Now snicker that! read more

The restaurant deserves no stars .The worst service I ever had in my life. The waiter didn't ask if we finished, he just started to clean up our table and lead people on waiting line to our table to sit. He told the those people to tell us to leave so they can sit at our table. And the waiter took our tips on the table. read more

This restaurant has got to have the worst service I have ever had in my life! We went to Thanh Brothers in Lynnwood on Fathers Day - when we arrived, we asked to be seated by the fish tank becuase my son wanted to sit by the fish...we were immediately rejected and told to sit elsewhere...even though the restaurant was nearly empty! Then my son opened two packages of chopsticks - when a worker saw him - he reached over onto our table and REMOVED THE UTENCIL HOLDER even before my husband and I got our spoons! RUDE! For one, those chopsticks cost 1 cent each and it costs 3 cents to make pho! So I approached the counter and asked to pay. The lady was nice, but to owner approached and asked what was wrong and I said i thought it was rude that they took the utencil holder away over two chopsticks - and you know what he said - THOSE CHOPSTICKS ARE NOT RECYCLABLE, WE THROW AWAY AND HE ALREADY OPEN MANY! OMG - are you seriously having a cow over two chopsticks! So I am officially boycotting all Thanh Brother restauants - they are NOT kid friendly, they are rude and penny pinchers! read more

Been a customer there for over 4 years, regularly however the previous time I was there I was overcharged and the last time I was there I mentioned it to the owner (cashier). He went ballistic on me, calling me a liar, and yelling at me that I wasn't overcharged etc. Guess business is so good he doesn't want me back. No worries, I will tell everyone I can about his rudeness. read more
