Pretty good pho for seattle! The broth was delicious but could be more beefy. The amount of meat in the pho dac biet was decent and the portions are filling. This is a solid pho restaurant around the seattle center area which is convenient if you're around there!
Great location near Seattle Center. I ordered the King Special with regular beef broth as they didn't ask me to specify (guess you need to request if you want anything else). Good size and tasty. About $30 after tax and tip.
Their broth was definitely slightly different from OC California's pho broth that my daughter and I were used to. It had a slight sour taste to it that made it very different. My daughter and I don't usually add lime or hoisin sauce to our pho as we prefer the original taste. At most we add only the jalapeño slices to our broth to spice up the level. We prefer the original taste of pho. The broth had a deep herbal aroma and taste but the slight sourness threw us off. Their egg rolls were very good and crispy. Overall, it's wasn't bad just not the taste we were used to that's all.
Chicken bun honestly didn't have that much flavor and felt pretty pricey for the quality. Pho was also just OK but lacking in flavor.
Pho Viet Anh has been on my list to try for some time as with how liked it is by the community. As a big fan of Pho, I wanted to see how this restaurant compared to other Pho restaurants in the Seattle area. So I decided to swing by on a Saturday mid afternoon and was able to promptly get a table. The restaurant is located on a corner with limited streetside parking, I would definitely recommend coming earlier than expected in case parking is difficult, which will definitely happen on high traffic hours. Even trying to find parking mid afternoon after the meal time rush took me some time. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is casual dine in - nicely decorated and cozy feeling with lots of windows for natural light. Service is also fast, we were able to get our food about 10 minutes after we ordered. I got the King Special for $21, since I wanted to try all the different cuts of meat that the restaurant wanted to offer. The pho is decently sized, and would fill up most people. The broth is well flavored - I would say a little too flavored if you were to taste it by itself. There is a very strong fish sauce flavor, and unfortunately not a lot of beef flavor and aromatics - there isn't a hint of cinnamon, ginger, etc. which makes the broth a bit one dimensional. I personally felt really thirsty after enjoying this broth and couldn't finish it. Despite this, the broth really helps accentuate the other components of the bowl, the cuts of meat were tender and the meat balls were sturdy. I think that price-wise, for $21, it leans on the more expensive side of pho. Most phos here will run you at least $19, which I personally think is expensive price to pay for this dish. The flavor doesn't seem to lean to my personal preference, but if you want a broth that leans savory and need to fill a pho craving in Belltown, feel free to give it a go.
The service was fine. The food came out quick and they refilled our water when we were empty. I love pho and I found their pho really good. It's one size pho. Decent amount of meat and noodles. Pho tasted really good. Disappointed in the spring rolls though. They were very little. Like it was half a normal serving. The spring rolls were good and peanut sauce was okay. Cute little restaurant walking distance from the space needle. A relaxed setting with cute decor.
What the actual pho. This place is GREAT. Huge portions of steak and brisket, flavorful broth, and quick, friendly service. They only have one size for pho, but it comes with a massive amount of meat (I'm pretty sure I got over 8oz ). All the side toppings were fresh, and I appreciated the extra green onion they added to the soup. You can hear the chefs (or Viet grandpas?) yelling in the back, so you know it's authentic. Prime location--though a bit sketchy. This will definitely be my go-to spot for a comforting lunch in downtown.
Such a cute little spot to grab some delicious food. It was our first time and this place did not disappoint. I think it might be a family run business. I got the meat all pho and spring rolls. After a long day of travel, this definitely hit the spot. It was chilly, of course outside and everything tasted so fresh and the flavors were perfect. There was a few other people dining in, but it seemed like they had a lot of to go orders. I would make this a regular spot if I lived in Seattle.
Pho Viet Anh is located in downtown Seattle, within walking distance of the Space Needle, making it a convenient stop--especially on a cold day when you're craving something warm. We ordered the combo special, which comes in one size. It was delicious and definitely hit the spot, though the portion was generous enough that I couldn't finish it. The spring rolls were good, but a small tweak would make them better--two spring rolls should come with two slices of lettuce instead of just one. Service was fast and efficient, and the food came out quickly after we placed our order. Overall, a solid place for comforting pho when you're in the area.
The beef short rib salad was really good. Five stars good! We don't see that often in San Jose, CA. The spring rolls had only two shrimp in each piece and two pieces was $8.50. I'd pass on the spring rolls (the peanut sauce was fine) but go for the short ribs. Thick enough they were juicy, but soft enough to pull off the bone. A-#1.
It was our first time trying out this pho shop as we always drove by it. It's been here since I was a teenager but we also had so many spots to choose from in Seattle growing up. However, lately there has been a decrease of the number of shops and some of the ones we loved to go to had closed down. We decided to finally try Pho Viet Anh and it was somewhat disappointing as the broth was too sweet for our taste and they forgot to blanch our bean sprouts. The protein cut for the beef was somewhat odd as it was in long string like shape. We also ordered Springs Rolls and the size was significantly smaller than a lot of other pho establishments. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, but it was not up to our standards. I give it points for ambience and easy to find street parking. The prices are comparable to other pho shop and the service was as expected for a family own shop.
Tried the King Pho at Pho Viet Anh and it absolutely delivered.Good portions of tender meats, a deeply flavorful broth, and fresh herbs made for a comforting, satisfying bowl. However, bit pricey ($21) for a bowl of pho. Still, I did not regret checking this place out.

The food wasn't bad pho being pho, get what I did there? this place, 3/5 on the food, 5/5 on service and quickness of getting the food, ambiance is kinda cute? I guess? I'm not too sure but I will say it's not bad pho pho but at $20 a bowl, I'm not entirely sold on it either. read more
stopped by this pho place right before we went to go see the space needle (it's superrr close to the space needle which is very convenient)! This pho place was amazing!! The interior was very cute and had a good amount of seating. The food was deliciousss!! Started off with the shrimp and pork salad rolls which were very refreshing with all the veggies. The peanut sauce complemented it perfectly and we demolished it so fast. The beef brisket pho had such flavorful broth with different spices and a little bit of sweetness. The brisket itself was very soft and easy to chew. The portion was pretty sizable with a lot of pho noodle. The noodle salad was probably the best I've had at any pho place so far. We got short ribs and they were very well marinated and the meat was very tender. The noodle salad was refreshing with all the veggies and the fish sauce wasn't super overpowering, it was just right! Also the portion of this dish was hugeeee. The service was pretty quick too, our food came out super fast. I would definitely come back to this place!! read more

I've been here a few times now, each time when I've been sick or my boyfriend has been sick, lol. The pho here is the perfect remedy for a nasty cold! I always order the large veggie pho with chicken broth and it's the most restorative thing ever. On our last visit, my boyfriend ordered the brisket pho and declared it one of his favorite broths of all time. We've always been able to get a table, and service is efficient and friendly. I also appreciate the fact that they offer beer as well, since I've noticed that not all pho places in the city offer alcohol. They also offer young coconut here which I'll have to try one day. 5 stars for sure! read more

I am no Pho expert. This is only my 2nd time but it met any expectation my lack of experience could have. Husband & I ordered "Combo," or pho dac biet. Enormous bowl of broth u could take a bath in filled with a meat combo of steak, brisket, fatty flank, & meatballs; add noodles, onions, green onions, and cilantro. I enjoyed adding to the madness by tossing in the Thai basil, sprouts, and lime wedges served on the side. Filling and delicious comfort that neither of us could finish. Place was cute, clean, a street-side view from our table, with staff that was quietly friendly. A short walk from Space Needle. read more
There are few things that hit the spot like a big hot bowl of pho on a chilly day. We were nearby checking out the museums, and decided to pop in for an early lunch prior to committing to a number of hours at MoPop. A very eccentrically decorated establishment, it was exactly the level of authenticity I was looking for. I opted for the regular sized combo pho with original beef broth. The broth was fantastic, as were all of the different meats in it. The regular size was the perfect amount for me, and I thought the ratio of meat:noodles:broth was perfect as well. The noodles were just a tiny bit undercooked, which I thought was a little odd because I feel like that's the easiest part of the dish. I also wish they had the option of tendon (my favorite), like most other places do. But overall, it was a very solid bowl of pho. My friend had the fried pork and shrimp egg rolls and the chicken pho, and raved about both. She especially loved the crispiness of the egg rolls. Unlike a lot of other Vietnamese restaurants, I didn't leave feeling super parched from the amount of sodium in the food. Obviously always a huge plus. Service was quick and friendly, and we were in and out within an hour--very impressive considering my friend is the world's slowest eater. They checked back often to make sure we were still doing well. I'd definitely recommend Pho Viet Anh, especially if you're exhausted from all of the museum browsing. No better way to end a long day than with warm pho belly :) read more
we were in the space needle area and we wanted to grab lunch. we saw this place as we were yelping and decided to check it out. we went around 12 and there was not much rush. however if you come after 1 the rush picks up. would recommend you go before 1 to the extent possible. there is plenty of seating inside but no outside seating. the waiters were good at getting us seated in a quick manner and taking our orders promptly. we got our food in under 10 minutes of placing it. the waiters also were present during our entire experience and would refill our glasses of water throughout our stay. we got the lemongrass tofu curry with a side of salad and pickled vegetables and were rice. you can sub in the white rice for additional cost. the lemongrass curry was well spiced and not super sweet. the tofu was also part crunchy. would definitely go again if i am in seattle! read more

Clean plates here! Delicious and well portioned :) Short walk from the space needle, very good vibes, could fall asleep here read more
stumbled upon this cute little pho spot in queen anne- surprisingly blown away. I was nervous but seriously dont judge a book by its cover. super fast service and food. The bowl had good amount of noodles and beef ratio accompanied by the usual fixings. The broth was one of the most flavorful pho broths i have had in Seattle. Definitely coming back. read more
Came here for a late lunch on Saturday. It wasn't super busy but was 80% full, kind of surprising at 2:30PM. I got seated and placed order right away. The food got served within ~5 minutes. Food: I ordered a small combo pho (the cheaper one) with extra steamed veggies (broccoli, sliced carrots, snow peas). The bowl was covered by veggies when it was served. The broth, as mentioned in the other reviews, was quite sweet. Other than that, it wasn't heavy but still quite flavorful, and slightly spicy, perfect for when you are sick (as I am ). They also put up a sign "NO MSG", which made me appreciate the broth even more. All the other beef was averagely good, but the meatballs were delicious, definitely tasted better than most I've had. They used the most common pho noodles, smooth and lightweight, absorbed the flavor very well. The only complaint I have is about how they offered two different combo phos, one with tendon and tripe, one without, and obviously at difference prices. The one without is priced at the regular price for combo pho at most Vietnamese restaurants, and the other is $1.25 higher. To me this is kind of a cheap unnecessary move... Service: Great. The waiting staff was super nice and responsive. Price: Good for its worth. read more

This little spot was spot on. The steak and meatball pho was fabulous! Deep rich broth, many complimenting flavors going on. The pork and shrimp fresh roll was just that.. fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend giving this a try. Service was fast and servers attentive and pleasant. One of the best meals I had on my visit from east coast. read more

After a three hour plane ride, this Pho absolutely hit the spot. The broth on its own is rich in flavor, and the portion size is perfect for its price. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We'll eating we even heard the staff talking to two customers by name and have a real chat. read more
Small Vietnamese restaurant near Seattle Center. The insides have red paint accented by bamboo panel... definitely gives that feeling of a small and homely Asian restaurant. The menu covers the typical Vietnamese staples including pho, banh mi and such. Went there on a weekend afternoon, wasn't too busy. Got a regular-sized bowl of pho with classic beef broth and the combo beef meats. The bowl is on the smaller side compared to the other pho places I've tried (not in Seattle area), but they do fill it to brim and there is decent amount of meat. The broth, meats, and pho tasted decent, and it was served quickly. 3.5 stars. I'll round up to 4. read more
Great little family run spot. When you see the biggest dinning room table over if freshly washed cups and dishes being hand dried by staff it's a good sign. Pho and the grilled pork pate were good sized, tasty and reasonably priced. No alcohol but a good quick dinner spot near the arena and Seattle center. read more

Brisk, rainy Seattle days are the best ones to enjoy the warm comforts of a Vietnamese restaurant and, of course, a giant bowl of pho! 2 of the 3 components of pho were darn near perfect. The chicken broth was indeed a product of love, time and care (and maybe a really cute old lady in the back) as it was flavorful and savory. I didn't need to squirt a metric ton of hoisin and Sriracha into it to make it palatable. The vermicelli noodles hit the spot, I liked that they offer lower cal version. The meat was all white meat but numerous pieces were dry, tough and overcooked. If they had used a mixture of both white and dark meat that may have remedied this. My friends who both ordered the vegan broth and veggies enjoyed their big ole bowl of noods. That broth had more of a sharp, umamai taste in comparison to the savory chicken broth. All soups came with a generous amount of garnish to add. Shrimp and vegeterian fresh rolls were tasty, crunchy and came with a generouy filled rammaken of peanut sauce. Also, the restaurant is cozy but indeed dated. Upon walking in, I couldn't shake the smell of wet dog. Not sure if it was a combination of whatever was being cooked and the humid air or what. The staff was sweeter than a cup of Vietnamese coffee (yum!) but the food took forever and a day to come out. The plus side of this is they didn't rush us our chatty selfs out the door either. Overall, a solid choice to get your slurp on if you find yourself in Queen Anne. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem. Thank you to my fellow Seattle friend for recommending it. I really enjoyed the broth and they gave us a generous portion of meat, which I really enjoyed! Secondly, the noodles are cooked perfectly al dente. I also appreciate that the broth was nice and hot. I'm not a fan when they serve the broth is lukewarm. Overall, the broth had really good flavor. In terms of the pho, if I were to categorize on the spectrum of hipster and traditional, I would lean towards right in the middle- but maybe a little closer to traditional. I also enjoy some nam (fatty brisket) and gan (tendon) in my pho and they didn't have that as an option. If you are looking for those or tripe, they won't have it here. Pro-tip: there is some neighborhood parking nearby. It's not the closest to bus stops if you're taking public transit read more

One of our fav dishes is vermicelli bowls... but the As far as Vermicelli Bowls go we weren't too impressed. Chicken was very dry but general bowl and fish sauce was good. Nothing toooo special. Heard their pho was killer but didn't try it out this time. read more

Usually if I'm craving bahn mi, I go down to the ID (Len Hue specifically) but today that felt like a long trek for just a sandwich. I walked into the restaurant after a nice walk and got the BBQ pork bahn to go. They were super friendly and gave me a glass of water while I waited the few minutes for the sandwich. The price is a solid buck or two more expensive than you'll pay in the ID but that makes sense. For the size, it's still a phenomenal deal. So overall, decent. The meat while plentiful was dry, and the pickled veggies (also piled high) were missing some tanginess. The vinegar brine had sweetness but not enough zip to it. The pate was good but there could have been more. Lastly, there should definitely be mayo. The shmear was butter, not mayo which seemed really odd to me when I got home with my leftover half, I added some mayo to help the dry meat and give it a little more tang. Also the veggies included bell pepper, not jalapeno, which was a little weird. Good but haven't seen that before. I'll be back because it's a close spot and it's not too bad, but it's nothing too much to write home about. I've also had their fresh rolls and chicken vermicelli and both were really good and served in large portions. read more
