Best pho broth hands down. There's so many pho places around us but nothing compares to this place. We get the pho tai and even to go is dank. read more

I like this location the most because they are pretty generous with the veggie. Some locations I went to they only serve you a little bit of this and that, and when you ask for more they will still give you some but they would be cranky. Otherwise, same taste of pho, but better service. read more

Pho Than Brothers - Combination pho L Chicken pho M - Vietnamese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I feel like Pho Than Brother's really deserves 2 stars.. but I am giving it 3 because it has been a Seattle staple for years. In fact, my mom used to work at the one in the U District back in the late 1990's early 2000's - when a small bowl of pho only cost $4. Fast forward years later, with inflation and the cost of living sky rocketing in the Seattle area - my once most treasure bowl of pho now cost $8. The thing is.. I wouldn't even mind paying that much because, truthfully $8 for a bowl of pho is still a bargain. However, I was left kinda baffled after 2 small bowl of pho's, 2 orders of Vietnamese coffee and adding on a side of veggies cost me $30 before tip. By doing the math, the veggie itself cost $4-5. I guess I'm upset because the UNCOOKED veggies were just dumped into my bowl of pho which significantly cooled down my hot broth and made the already lukewarm broth.. colder. We all know a good bowl of pho is BEST when it is pipping hot. Not to mention the chicken in the pho that I ordered had a rubbery texture. read more

We used to go to Pho Than Bros in Edmonds quite often, but the last four times we went, were a total disappointment. The one and only time we were able to dine-in was when we showed up at 6:15 pm, and the service was less than friendly. The staff served us in a hurry telling us they were about to close. They were a bit rude by hovering around us insinuating they wanted us to be out of there. They were out of spring rolls and wouldn't make them for us because it was "too late". They were also out of their signature cream puffs, something we have never experienced at any Than Bros restaurant since they originally opened years ago. The other three times we went they said they were closed, at 6:50 pm.? They said they closed at 7:00 pm, even though their web page say they close at 9:00 pm. They should at least post a sign that says "no dine-in service after 7:00 pm" or "take out service only after 7:00 pm" They have lost several loyal customers because we will stop going there, as well as all of my extended family. The word gets around. read more

Super Fast Service and extremely customer oriented employees. They have veggie broth and veggie/tofu pho! This food is Fresh, fresh, FRESH!

Quick service to satisfy any pho cravings! Would definitely be back! No complaints at all.

They used to be my go-to spot, but they seem to just be closing earlier every night. 45 minutes before closing they are only allowing take out and if you're eating they hover over you to get you tp wrap up and leave quickly. Not sure if it's new management or they just got complacent, but the service has gone way downhill. read more

I love love love this place! They never disappoint. The pho always come out super fast and hot! The flavor is always on point. They serve it with vanilla cream puff things that are delicious and of course the basil, jalapeno slices and bean sprouts are always fresh! I also always order the fried egg rolls. They are definitely a must have here! Staff is always super friendly and the place is clean! Couldnt have a better pho spot around! (They do take debit cards now!) read more

Pho Than Brothers - Bowl of pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Sampled many different pho places in San Diego, tried other pho places (Pho Hao in Woodinville, Pho Tu Do in Lynnwood) in Seattle, heard about Than Brothers, went there, read the reviews, and now I write one. Interesting thing is, this place got dissed by several reviewers as a "chain" and "McDonald-esque". So, you can't please all of the people all of the time. You can look at a bowl of pho as a finished product, or you can look at pho as a blank canvas. I fall into the latter category. I thought the pho was excellent, and it's probably to my benefit that I had a chance to try other pho joints before landing here. It was rather hard to find, it's right on the corner of what's primarily a Korean Shopping Center, and if you're going Southbound, you'll fly right by. After being seated, you better be looking at that menu under the glass instead of yapping with your lunch or dinner dates, because they'll be taking your order when your ass hits that seat. Prices are the most reasonable that I've seen in Seattle thus far. Typical condiments are available on the table. Before your dish comes, the sides of bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapenos come to the table. Along with this, you'll get a cream puff. Before I could even get to the cream puff, the pho hit the table. I made the mistake of ordering the XL bowl. Ever go to a Chinese restaurant and order Egg Drop Soup? Or go to a Thai joint and order the Tom Yum Gai? Comes in a big soup taurine that can serve four people. Well, that's what the XL bowl looks like, it's ridiculous. Anyway, pho and broth were excellent. A bit heavy on cilantro (big chunks of stem), but I can overlook it and order light cilantro next time. And, no disrespect to the cream puff, it gets a lot of press, and I'm sure it's made with loving care (with a tender backstory of the birth of the restaurant), but I think it's the red herring for the Than Brothers. The pho is really good, its' all they serve! read more

I knew it. I should have just gone to Pasteur's in Everett. The meat, broth, everything is much better there. I just came at the recommendation of some people who live by this place. My brother and I went here yesterday for New Year's. We never had the greatest relationship, but we've been reconciling and what-not, so it was good to just meet him. Never would we have guessed that this place would make us feel sick after and angry at their service... There was NO SERVICE! They didn't even ask if I wanted something out (usually take out the sprouts). And the lady literally asked us what we wanted, when she could see that we hadn't even looked at the menu. I understand. It was New Years. SO WHY DIDN"T THEY JUST TELL US TO DO TAKE OUT! A couple came in a few minutes after we ate, and they kinda were just rude to them, and I'm surprised they just went with the takeout after the lady just spoke roughly to them. Obviously they know it's New Years Eve! Put a sign out, and let people like us who just came in know that you're gonna close an hour early! I guess the whole time we were eating, they were glaring at us. I was sitting the opposite way but my brother was staring back at them. You don't wanna stare David "YG" down. I don't know what he'll do. I wasn't done with my meal but just got up, and left. I took the cream-puff and just wanted to throw it at the wall or something. I guess since my mom was a cook long ago, I'm more strict on restaurants. But never make your customers feel uncomfortable, gossip around them, and not let them finish. Right after we got up, you could tell they were excited to have us leave. Will just be going to Pasteur's, my main joint. read more

Apparently they haven't updated their pricing in 10 years when I called with questions about the pricing. I was charged $15 for a medium size pho just a warning before you come. I personally think they over charged me because previously it was about $8 when I would come to this spot. Also very mediocre pho, veggie broth is very flavorless. If you're looking for a good spot in Edmonds I love pho 84 and would've choose that if it were open sundays. Good pho and they don't overcharge. read more

Food was good but they have really increased prices. I looked on Yelp and it showed the price for an xl pho as 12.95. I ordered 3. What I paid after tax was $62 and some change. This is after taxes about $19 a bowl. I'm going to find a different restaurant. read more

I was so craving pho and they made me want to leave. I have a little puppy that I was baby sitting for and they first said it was okay that I brought her in then they said that next time she has to be a service dog when they said it was okay at first and the whole time they were staring at me and the people I was with eating the whole time and was judging us, they gave us our food fast as if they wanted us to leave already, I'll rethink my choices of where I want to eat next time read more

when i came in they let me bring my dog but they started staring n said she had to be a service dog, food was mid n place was mid, i wanted to leave i didn't even enjoy my food. they made me feel uncomfortable and they gave it to us so quick n it seemed as if they wanted us to leave quickly, don't recommend so lame, L restaurant read more

Hands down best pho place for value and consistency! Love coming to this particular location for their seafood pho, haven't seen it at any other location so far. Pho Than Bros has veggie broth which is rare to find, so definitely vegetarian friendly. A regular spot, and can't live without the cream puffs! read more

Than Brothers gets a lot of grief from people I know but I love this place. The one in the U District on The Ave is good too. Service is always lightning quick, the pho is always piping hot, and it's the same every time. No frills. Just tasty, hot, and cheap soup. Veggies are always fresh looking and they give you that little pastry for dessert to boot. Can't go wrong. I also like that they shred their chicken for the Pho Ga rather than slice it into thin sheets that are hard to eat. The shredded meat works perfectly for dipping into your hoisan, siracha, and chili oil concoction. And shredding it also makes it easier to eat in general. P read more

Pho Than Brothers - Pho Ga - my "go to" - delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I used to LOVE coming here with family and friends, we would come once a week because we loved it that much, lately we noticed we kept getting dirty cups. We complained a few times & today we got 3 dirty cups I told one of the waiters and he sighed and left. I ordered some spring rolls and the I think " manager" came out and told us that he would no longer serve us water because we continue to complain about dirty cups, we told him that if you really care about your customers you wouldn't mind changing the cup to a clean one, he said he loved his customers but we were no longer allowed in there. I mean if you really love your costumers you wouldn't mind giving a new CUP of FREE TAP WATER . Never coming back . read more

Pho Than Brothers - Vietnamese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I've been to Than brothers plenty of times in various locations. This one has consistently been the worst one I've had. On 3 separate occasions I ordered food from here togo and the broth was tepid. It was too cold to cook the noodles. One of my togo orders had a half cup of broth instead of a full cup which is usually given. Several times I ordered and paid for extra meat but was extra portion was barely any extra, if any at all. When I sit down and get food in the restaurant it's generally fine / on par with other Than bros... I'm not sure why the togo is so bad here. read more

The best pho place I have ever been to. a) The soup and noodles and everything are delicious and consistent. b) You can get a huge bowl for like 6 dollars. Perfect. c) Their jalapenos are actually spicy and give my soup a nice kick. d) The cream puffs that come with your noodles. I'm not a cream puff person myself, but if I was I'm sure I would love that part of the pho than brothers. No joke, if I could have pho than brothers every day I would. But I would probably get pretty fat because they're so good I just wouldn't be able to control myself. read more

This is a review for all of the Pho Tran Brothers in the franchise. These guys are like the fast food pho of Seattle, with the free cream puff being a nice touch. But the broth is on the light side with too much msg. read more

Fast, friendly and best of all they have spring rolls now!! I have been here once in awhile and although I normally do not like Pho and my husband tries to get me to go out for this noodle soup at least once a week. I do like their's. This is saying a lot. read more

Pho Than Brothers - Hmm hmm good - Vietnamese Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

One of the best phos in Shoreline. I don't like Pho but this place does it right. Once you order the food comes out in a minute. Always consistent and the prices are cheap. The parking lot is large and the staff is friendly. This place only sells pho however. Cream puffs are good too! read more

My favorite place to go for pho in North Seattle. But if you don't like pho, don't go here. This isn't a Vietnamese restaurant with pages of menu; this is a pho restaurant, with pho on the menu. Flavorful pho with your choice of meats (I tried the veggie version here once and was not a fan). I like piling in hoison sauce, bean sprouts, and lime juice that just about hides the beautiful beef broth of the pho, but the soup here still shines through it all. The first thing I noticed about this place is that they give you cream puffs before your meal along with the normal bean sprouts, lime, and Thai basil you can expect from any pho restaurant. I thought it was bizarre and ate them as an appetizer twice before someone pointed out that I could just wait to eat them for dessert. That was the most novel idea. Waiting to eat something sugary and delicious (they're average cream puffs, but is there such a thing as a bad cream puff?) is something that never would've crossed my mind if left alone. Anyways. I think you should wait until after your pho to eat the cream puffs. read more

Today I had 3 short black hairs in my soup. I called the owner to talk with him but he did not even approach my table to take a look. He talked with my husband, gave us a discount but ignored me completely. I did not complain because I wanted a discount but because I wanted to make sure the owner is aware of these health safety issues. Places with this kind of hygiene standards should not be open during the COVID pandemic. read more

This is one of the common pho places around the area. When you walk in, you will get exactly what you expect. A small plate of veggies, sweet cream puffs, and a huge bowl of piping hot pho. I have been to this place many times with friends and teammates, what I saw from these visits is a place with good and consistent quality, reasonable price, with filling pho. Their service is normal for a place that can put out multiple bowls of noodles under 5 minutes. The waiters will bring out your food and leave you to work on it. Paying for the meal is usually just giving the cashier a 10 dollar paper bill since they don't accept credit cards. Other reviewers seem to have an issue with this policy, but this practice is not uncommon among pho restaurants and using paper bills is much more convenient than charging transaction fees both for the business and the customers. read more

The service is mind bogglingly fast and the food is delicious. I love coming here and always have a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place, definitely get an order of fresh spring rolls! read more

me and my boyfriend love pho than and frequent here sometimes multiple times a week. they remember our order and have fast and attentive service and we usually get our food within minutes of sitting down. currently craving their food as i write this. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years. They know us and what we want all though they still take our order because we change our soup sizes. The owner always jokes with my dad about ordering an extra large instead of ordering a large since sometimes he does order the extra large. We just laugh about it because my dad gets embarrassed:) They know we order two spring roll orders, they know that we always order the number 6, they know my dad orders a coke and the rest of us order water. They also know that 3 out of 5 of us use forks instead of chopsticks so they automatically bring them out with the bean sprouts plate. This place has never let us down!! Best pho I've had and they give you cream puffs!!! They're delicious!! Customer service itself is 5 stars but the food as well is 5 stars! All other pho restaurants have let me down because I'm a regular here and no others compare! Make sure to always carry cash!! read more

Pho Than Bros is our go-to spot in our neighborhood for Pho. Not the best bowl of pho I've ever had in my life but it is good. They're very consistent and fast. You can expect a bowl of hot soup on your table about 30 seconds after you order. I've enjoyed the chicken and thin sliced beef. Both broths are tasty, but I prefer the beef. The service is lackluster. Usually someone will bring out your food and leave you to it. If you go in expecting this you won't be disappointed. Affordability is key here too. It's less than $10 per person to eat. It will continue to be our go to while we're in the area. I also recommend their egg rolls and iced coffee with condensed milk! read more

I have some great memories of this place. It's definitely my favorite branch of this restaurant I've been to. It is also by far the cleanest and most spacious. Their pho is every bit as delicious as when my high school friends and I first tried it, about 4 years ago. There is no substitute for their cream puffs. No, really. I've tried other places that try to imitate (try being the key word here), and they don't even come close. Beware of your clothes smelling for the rest of the day (and until they are next washed, for that matter). Apparently, it's not a pleasant odor for the people sitting by you during lectures. This place is great for kids. I bring my sister here all the time when my parents give me money to treat her. She loves their chicken pho, and it's so cheap that I can pocket some for myself! Remember to BRING CASH, or you might be outta luck! read more

Aw... This is my favorite pho place in town, but they had tough meat!! I ordered brisket, steak, and tendon. The brisket is what I look forward to the most, but it was weirdly chewy and hard to enjoy. The service is quick as usual (plate of fixings + free cream puffs), and the broth is awesome. Hopefully their low quality meat was just a one day thing... I will try it out again the next time I'm in Edmonds. read more

This is the absolute best place for Pho! I've been going here for years and no where else has ever topped it! They have great service, getting your food out so fast and giving a complimentary cream puff. I highly recommend coming here! read more

We just finished having the most horrible experience at this location. We had high hopes given this local chains other locations but we're sorely disappointed; here's why. Location/Ambiance: normally I wouldn't complain about this but it's very clear they are not spending any money here. It was very sunny but no shades on the windows. Service: lackluster Food: Tasted like dishwater - and likely was. Bill: Cash only!!! You don't find out until you go in. This is abnormal as most Pho Than Bros take cards except this one. They ahve an ATM right there so they clearly are making $$ on the fees. We will NOT return! and will NOT recommend this location. No match for the Bellevue (which is #1 IMO, highly recommend!!) or Kirkland or even Everett locations. read more

Have ordered chicken pho 2 or 3 times over the last couple years and it's consistently bland. Good portion sizes, but overpriced and no flavor but the lime I add read more

I was eating dinner here with my daughter, and I realized I had been going to Pho Than since the first location opened 25 years ago! IMHO, I think this place is the best in the chain. I can't believe how amazingly consistent, and blazingly fast they are - I've never had a bad bowl of pho here. Can't recommend more highly! read more

I'm a regular customer here. Usually I dine in before the pandemic. Since the pandemic I have been ordering food to go and I never asked for a receipt. Little did I know there is a TOGO FEE for pick-ups!! I didn't use an app nor asked for a delivery. I called in the orders and picked up the orders myself!! This is ridiculous that they will charge me a fee just because I called in for a PICK-UP ORDER. I called in and asked about it. The lady on the phone was rude and said they have been charging TOGO FEES or have been doing this for a long time. She said that the only time they will not charge a fee is if a person dine in. Well, hello? How many people can actually dine in right now, even if they wanted to?? If you decide to order food from here, my advice is to ask for a receipt, you'll see the irrelevant charges on your taps!! read more

Came in day after Christmas. Was immediately sat by the front doors and forgotten about. Three other groups came in and were served before us! We tried getting the servers attention to no avail. We decided to leave and eat elsewhere. Great place if you want to be ignored and cold. read more

My favorite pho place ever!! The food is the best! I've been going here since I was a kid and the people there are so sweet and welcoming. My family always come around 8:40 (closes at 9) and they still serve us food. They know me and my family's order every time read more

Food is fine decent pho! But second time they have overcharged me! I was charged $26 for A large pho and spring rolls. According to their menu it was$9.95 for the soup and $4.95 for the rolls! So I was over charged $10+ so dishonest and frustrating! read more

I got a water and the glass was filthy. I didnt notice it until i drank out of it. I told the waitress she gave me another. The owner or manager came and served our food. I noticed my pho was not very appetizing. It was full of fat and veins on top. It look very unpleasant. If i wasnt with my dad and would have walked out and not paid. *She did not apologize for the dirty glass. So if you complain they dont care your getting fat chunks. GO here if your close by but dont expect much service with a smile. CASH ONLY HERE: other Pho Than Brothers are cash or credit. read more
