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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Roughly within a few minutes walking distance from Hyatt Place. Ordered some rolls and a vegetarian pho. They were both OK. Portions are smaller than what I am used to from SoCal - Orange County. Service was a touch slow, but eventually you get everything you requested. Place was busy, alot of people enjoying their dinner there. read more

A hidden gem just a short walk from the Space Needle! This family-run pho spot has been serving up delicious bowls for over 20 years, and it shows. The broth is rich, the ingredients fresh, and the portions generous. It got pretty busy during weekend lunch, but the service was still friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable, especially given the quality and location. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more
This review is based on takeout. Since it started raining the last couple days of visiting, we wanted to enjoy some pho before heading out to the airport. Unfortunately, we couldn't dine in for fear of being delayed at the airport, so we ordered take out. Appreciated the utensils in our to go bag. We had to slowly add the ingredients in the broth container but we made it work. The vegetarian broth was flavorful and the veggies were delicious. We also devoured the fresh tofu spring rolls so not pictured. Hope to visit Seattle again so we dine in and enjoy the pho in the environment. read more

My family and I were looking to find a place for Vietnamese food near the space needle and happened to see this place on Yelp. Always excited to try new places we decided to give it a go. We came around 2 and from what I could gather seemed to have missed the lunch rush. Normally there seemed to a waitlist and waiting process especially for lunch times. When I was there the atmosphere was calm and a lot more on the quiet side. The food was ok and flavors pretty typical. I have been fortunate to have grown up around strong Vietnamese communities and when trying the king pho I found that to me it lacked some real deep flavor. The broth was a little too sweet for my liking but I found adding lime helped with cutting back this sweetness. Shortly after leaving the restaurant I found myself pretty quenched which let me to believe there must have also been a good amount of MSG in the soup; another thing that let down my expectations just slightly I didn't order anything else - my family members all ordered pho, but perhaps we would be down to try this place again in the future to see how their other items are. read more

Quick service and tasty beef pho (think I ordered #2.5). Star anise was a little heavier than I was used to but not a bad thing. Loved the lemon tea, very refreshing after walking and driving all day My sister got the short rib vermicelli and the short ribs were very good! read more
Yoooooo. Such an unassuming random place to have good pho. We came here after checking out the tourist attractions. It's within 5 minute walking distance and close by. It had decent reviews enough so we walked in. I mean, looking back, this was probably one of the better pho places I've been to in my lifetime. Egg roll- 5/5 stars. It's the sticky chewy exterior egg roll. If you like this style, it's legit. Beef pho- 4/5 stars. Broth was good. Spicy noodle soup- 5/5 stars. Shockingly, was good. I cannot remember what it was but everything wad delicious. Check it out if you're hungry after the tourist activities. read more

Forgettable pho. There is no character to this dish. There is hardly any noodle in it and while the meats are tasty, it does not do much good because of the lack of anything else to make it stand out. The staff is also is disingenuous as well, at least for one server. The only reason I am giving it two stars is because the Thai iced tea is actually pretty good and the pho came out fast. They give you 45 minutes to eat this, but most can knock it out in 20. read more

This is not authentic pho. Two bowls tasted fine, but the third tasted off and spoiled. We sent it back twice, and they brought out the same bowl with no changes. The staff became dismissive and irritated, and the waitress said she wouldn't replace it and would still charge us for their mistake. I ended up sharing my pho with my friend because the customer service was a 0/10. I was really looking forward to coming here because of the location, but I'd recommend driving a bit farther and going somewhere else. read more

I went for lunch on a Thursday and I didn't have to wait at all. The staff was super friendly and made small talk with me when I was checking out. The pho, was simply amazing, with its deep and complex flavors- the broth, amazing! It had a very generous serving of beef which I appreciated and left me desiring nothing more but a return visit as soon as possible. The restaurant was very cozy. I loved the decor as it seemed very inviting and colorful and all in good taste. It does have very large windows which was great to look out of as you were enjoying your warm soup on a cold winter day! read more

Small restaurant with approximately 10 tables. The interior pictures seen on the internet make the place look a lot bigger than it is. Service is friendly but a bit slow as they don't have a lot of servers. Ordered the king special pho that comes with steak, brisket, fatty flank, meatball, tendon, and tripe; this bowl of pho was on the pricier side for $18. The meats in the pho were abundant but the broth was a bit of the sweet side and not very flavorful. I was very thirsty afterwards, so there's likely a lot of MSG in the pho. read more

Efficient and patient service. Pho and rice plates start from $16. Walkable distance from space needle. Tourist from southern California here. Sadly, not a fan of their best seller: pho. The broth tastes like a boxed beef broth with no depth and little to no sodium. The brisket had more flavor than the soup. I did like how their was a good ratio of soup, noodles, and meat. Quantity did not feel lacking. Note: They don't recommend ordering pho to go if staying at a hotel with no heating source as they pack everything separately. We ate our pho inside the restaurant and ordered a lemongrass pork and onion rice plate to go. I couldn't heat it up because it was packaged in clear plastic but even without heating it up, Holy smokes, that pork tasted delicious after a long day of walking. If it wasn't for that rice plate, this review would have been 2 stars. If I lived around the area, would I return? Not for the pho, but definitely for the rice plate. It seems reasonably priced for it's prime location. As a tourist, is it worth walking to? My attempt to feed my picky eater her preferred food: soup noodle within walking distance of our hotel (0.3 mile) led me here. If I got a chance to redo, I would be willing to walk a little further and try another soup noodle place. read more
i've been here plenty of times but this was my first time ordering a rice plate. as someone who loves grilled pork, i really enjoyed this dish. the meat had a ton of flavor and the vegetables balanced the flavors and textures so well. the pho was also super delicious. our waiter (jordan) was super nice and attentive. he was so fun to talk to and his service really went above and beyond. this restaurant has very cute and vibrant decor. it was sunny the day we ate here so i really enjoyed sitting next to the window and basking in the sun. read more
It's that time of the year when I'm just tired of cold weather. Why is it still in 40s?! A heartwarming bowl of pho is what comforts me. I always get the combo option so I don't have to decide what to get. The beef broth is delicious and soul soothing. The brisket, steak, meat balls, and fatty flank in the combo are tender and cooked just right. The fried pork and shrimp roll was unimpressive though. Would rather get the fresh rolls instead. The ambience is warm and welcoming. Overall, I would return when I crave for pho again. read more

In Seattle for a few days and our hotel and tour guide listed this restaurant that was nearby and surprisingly it didn't disappoint. The restaurants around this plaza all seem pretty busy and popular. This restaurant is at an angle on the left side of plaza, so it kind of makes it hidden and tourists would just pass by it and not really notice it if rushing by down the street. Friendly service and great portion size of food, so if you starving you will be fulfilled. What was funny was that I was taking photos of the restaurant from the front and back and the owner lady blessed her heart took a far distance of my dad and I eating by the window seats and she wanted to give us the photos and didn't know how to. I thought this was funny. I used Apple's Airdrop option. :) A nice memory of a tasty meal. The server girl apologized to me about the owner, but I said it was ok. My go to order for all Vietnamese food is the pork and rice noodles with egg rolls dish and it did not disappoint. Sorry no photos. I transferred my photos out of my phone to external hard drive, but from other Yelper reviews you can see how big the food portions are. The soup bowls are great, warm and fulfilling and very comforting. Yummy in my tummy and you had to roll me back to the hotel. Normally, I wouldn't expect that restaurants close to hotels near main attractions are any good, but Seattle proved me wrong. In this place with the Indian chief that overlooks the fountain on intersection of 5th Avenue and Denny way and Cedar triangle block, the other restaurants like The 5 Point Cafe is also good. read more

Came here on a whim. It was a good serving size and flavorful. I was seated promptly and the server was nice, but it wasn't too busy inside so I don't know what it's like when busy. It's a good place to eat, but there's better out there. read more
eating some pho with the fam! this restaurant is near some of the touristy museum stuff downtown, so naturally, this was the perfect place for us to go when we were craving some Vietnamese food, while checking out some of Seattle's historic sites. Loved the noodles and all of the toppings and mixes to go in the bowl.the food was delicious and warming. The staff was friendly and efficient. And I liked the colorful decorations and big windows. read more

The food here is fantastic. I recommended anything on the menu! The service was top notch. The ambiance - relaxed, authentic, and romantic. Nice date spot for two! read more
The food was delicious! Vegan friendly items! I got the veggie pho it was what was needed after lots of walking around the city. Other people at the table got shrimp pho, lemongrass plate, and the beef pho. Food is delicious and a quick walk from Seattle Center. Why 3 stars? Expect a wait totally understand, our group patiently waited for 45 min- just as we were beckoned by one server to go over a table it was split to accommodate 2 smaller groups. Okay, things happen. Finally seated half of the waters made it to the table, we reasked a few times before everyone got some. Okay, it is busy, again things happen. Our server misheard the order of one of our friends and gave him shrimp appetizer versus the pho (this is actually a running joke because his order no matter where we go gets lost or is incorrect). Okay.. again, it is busy they are trying to get through service. His food got out as most of us were finished. End of the bill we were charged for both the shrimp pho and the shrimp appetizer. We were able to clear up the bill with no issue. Clearly came during an off day, next time we are in Seattle will give it another shot. read more
Food near the "tourist area" (Space Needle) usually is either rip off and/or not good, but this place is an exception. I am surprised I did not try this out sooner. This is a family operated restaurant and despite coming at an off hour on a Sunday, this place is still pretty popular. I perused the menu and decided to get the combo (Pho Dac Biet) which is a generous amount of pho and meat in a refreshing pho with a particularly fragrant star anise. The broth was a bit on the saltier side but it was a bit light, to not make the bowl too filling. The noodles were the right texture and the beef is pretty fresh. This is definitely a place I would enjoy going multiple times based on the quality of the pho, but dine-in is highly recommended because they have a $2 surcharge for takeout orders. Service was bad even after making eye contact / flagging down the server - I wished that they refilled water that I requested. Additionally, I got upcharged for my pho: I ordered the Pho Dac Biet ($15) but they charged me the XL king pho ($17) - so I had to request them to revise the bill and that took another 5 min. Had a few misses in my experience but hopefully my next visit will be a 5 star experience, because the food here is actually really good and worth the slight premium compared to other places. read more

Today we ordered the shrimp salad roll and the pho combination and I realized how spoiled I was to have such good pho and Viet food in general as I lived in Southern California some time and visited Westminster for food. The shrimp salad roll tasted the best for me as the dipping sauce was good, but the freshness of the ingredients was not there. On one hand the pho had an okay beef broth and it tasted sweet from the lime, while on the other hand the beef brisket, meatballs, and most of the other meat were overcooked and too chewy for my liking. In addition the noodles too weren't satisfying to eat as the noodles tasted quite chalky. Portions were okay, and the service was okay. Restaurant is relatively small and slow paced. A little on the dirty side too. read more
This has become my favorite pho place in Belltown. I've been here several times and each time the food is consistently good. The customer service here is also great and they are very friendly. On this most recent visit, I ordered their shrimp spring rolls to start. I enjoy their peanut sauce and sizing of the spring rolls. For pho, I always get the combo pho. It comes with fatty flank, brisket and meatballs all for about $15. My husband decided to try something different on our recent trip here. He ordered their chicken curry with vermicelli noodles. I enjoyed the flavor of the curry. Some other menu items that are good from here include: lemongrass and onion pork rice plate and vermicelli with egg rolls. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for great Vietnamese food downtown. read more

The food here was tasty but I don't think the portion sizes were worth the price. I ordered the pork and shrimp salad rolls as my whole meal because I'm a pretty light eater and it said it would come with 4 rolls. I didn't realize they really meant two rolls cut in half so they were tiny rolls for $9! The food itself was still good, just wished I would've known the sizes before hand so I could've ordered something else to go with it. The thai tea was excellent though. read more

Super cute little spot right by the space needle. Came here because I was craving vermicelli and this place hit the spot. Super small Restaurant but it gets pretty packed around dinner time. Service was very quick and they were on top of it with seating, refills, food coming out and clearing up afterwards. I got the pork salad aka. Vermicelli bowl. I added a fried roll to it. At first glance didn't look like a lot of meat but this place compared to others is definitely not stingy when it comes to the pork. It had some fatty parts to it but I was actually good. The meat was tender and easy to chew. The noodles were a little different than what I usually have had before but the dish overall was still delicious! I'd definitely come here again if I am craving any Vietnamese food. read more
