It sits right along the water with a wonderful view, and while there is paid parking nearby, just park at the nearby park and walk 5 mins over. The restaurant itself is surprisingly spacious, even with a large crowd, and they offer plenty of both interior and exterior seating to soak in the scenery. We came specifically for their happy hour, which runs from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. We ordered the beef pho pillows, crab and pork rolls, and the wagyu beef salad. Every dish was really good, but I would highly recommend the beef pho pillows as they were amazing in terms of quality. The service was also impressive, especially given how busy they were, with our server continuing to check on us multiple times throughout the meal to make sure we were well taken care of. Overall, it is a fantastic waterfront spot and definitely worth visiting!

When I walked up to the restaurant and saw the lakeside, upscale vibe, I had a feeling this wasn't going to be a cheap or particularly authentic spot. The $1 oysters weren't happening, but I wasn't leaving without oysters. The ones I ordered were fresh and good. I also ordered the bun bo Hue. It was tasty, but a little too sweet. Bun bo Hue should have some heat and spice, and I was missing that here. The cocktail I ordered was were refreshing and flavorful.

The place inside is small- but do not let the exterior fool you, it serves delicious food! I've been here a couple times and it does not disappoint. If you were to come on a weekend, there will be a wait for sure. There is outside seating when the weather is nicer. This time around, I had ordered the pork chops rice plate. The protein is flavorful and the nice char on the chops give is a good crunch flavor. Also at our table was the banh xeo- it is huge! But filling, and you won't stop eating it because it is yummy! We did request some rice paper on the side to make it into a spring roll. The banh beo was not ordered this time, but have ordered it in the past, and is a MUST!

Not super pricey but not cheap either. It's a small place. I would eat here again if nearby and convenient. Definitely not a destination venue. Noise level is high. You have to yell across the table to hear each other bc everyone in the restaurant had to practically yell to hear one another. Strange acoustics

I used to live in Renton and then a number of years ago, moved to Covington and discovered that the…read morefew Pho places in Covington ALL have a food handling rating of OK or worse. The last place I went to had clouds of fruit flies, the floor was sticky and the table looked like a science experiment (the Pho was good though, but ewww). But this isn't about Pho places in Covington. This is about Happy Autumn in Renton. I needed to be in Renton along 4th Ave and since I don't get to eat good Pho much anymore, I saw that Happy Autumn was along the route I'd be driving. My first impression. The food handling rating is EXCELLENT and the restaurant looked clean. The staff was delightful, professional, full of smiles, and had my order ready for pick-up right on time. I got the grilled chicken Pho to go, which is risky because 'to-go' meals can be skimped on since people don't tend to complain on meals to go from their house. I was NOT disappointed. They piled up all the goodies. Extra Sriracha, jalapenos, cilantro and basil. Lots of chicken and noodles and just a touch of sprouts (they are my least favorite Pho item). The broth was fragrant, flavorful and by the time I got home 45 minutes later, still hot. I put it all together and enjoyed some of the best Pho I've ever eaten locally. HIGHLY recommend.

Unfortunately, the Mongolian Beef was quite bland. It was stir-fried with vegetables, but there wasn't much flavor or anything particularly memorable about the dish. The Pineapple Mushroom Seitan was along the same lines, but the pineapple gave it a little more flavor and made it more enjoyable. One thing I really liked was their sauces. They're flavorful and can make a noticeable difference when paired with the right dish, so definitely use them! The mango sticky rice was decent. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet and had a good amount of sugar, but the mango itself didn't have the best texture. Overall, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a creative vegetarian menu, but the dishes I tried could have used more seasoning and flavor. The sauces were definitely a highlight.

Eating phở without a bit of heat definitely takes away some of the flavor. The broth was also missing that rich, deep, beefy taste you'd expect from a good bowl of phở. The bún chả giò, grilled pork, and vegetarian bún were actually pretty good. The portions were generous -- lots of meat and veggies in each bowl. One big plus is that the prices are reasonable, not overpriced at all, and the lady who served us was super sweet. Honestly, the restaurant should have some promotions for regular customers

Their menu is a combination of Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Not a huge menu but the dishes are of good quality and quality entree options over quantity for sure. The ingredients are fresh and some of their dishes are very uniquely made here and not seen in other Vietnamese restaurants! Definitely come try their own unique creations. We ordered the following for lunch: 1. Red Pho: Pho with reddish broth due to the spices. Never seen it anywhere so we gave it a try. It is like a lighter version of Bun Bo Hie broth but with pho noodles and proteins. 2. Caramelized shrimp with steam eggs: A rice dish with a blanket of eggs and sautéed caramelized savory and sweet shrimp (tôm rim). The flavors of the shrimp is DELICIOUS! Honestly if that entree comes by itself with some steamed veggies, that would have been like home cooking mom makes! The savory and sweetness of the sauce for the shrimp is just spot on! The shrimp is perfectly cooked, not over cooked at all! 3. Milk Tea for dessert and it was perfectly made: not too sweet and you can really taste the black tea flavor coming out with the cream. Very good!! Their quality is superb and there were so many items we would have loved to try but there was no way we could have tried them all in 1 sitting. Will have to return for sure! We ordered sandwiches and drinks the next day. The Vietnamese coffee and peach tea were good, not too sweet. As for the sandwiches, the bread itself is thicker than most banh mi bread but the flavors of the sandwiches are delicious! Perfectly prepared with all the fixings. I am just very impressed with the quality of the food and the flavors, the friendliness and hospitality of the wife as a waitstaff and the amazing food from her husband, the chef. Come try this place if you haven't. It is top notch: Amazing and delicious food!

My issue was the sanitary aspect or shall I say the lack there of. I mean it's one thing to see a couple hairs on the floor ya know but wow the amount of hair and debris in the floor looked like they hadn't cleaned in weeks. There was a a whole clump of hair under our table and hair hanging from the chairs. I dropped my daughter's blanket on the floor and my husband picked it up and he it had a pubic hair on it. The tables were not wiped off and the bathroom was a disaster zone. I mean if this is what they think their customers should deal with can you imagine what the kitchen looks like. The food was ok but I'm gonna be honest it's not something I would pay for again when there are other options that at least care enough about their customers that they actually keep the place clean and sanitize. I won't come back but if you don't mind eating in those conditions then it's your choice.

My friends, boyfriend and I just got done completing an escape room and we were wanting to grab…read moresomething to eat together but it was 9:30pm so a lot of places were closing. Luckily I saw Pho T & L was open and I've had this place saved for a while so this was the best timing to try them out. We arrived and it was pretty busy and we weren't sure if we seated ourselves or someone else seats us as it took a few minutes for us to get noticed. After a little of standing awkwardly near the entrance, someone noticed us and motioned us to sit near the check out area which you do need to go up and pay rather than wait for someone to drop off a check. We were given waters and menus and given a decent amount of time to decide what we wanted. My friends got a lemonade with tea, Thai tea, shaking beef and combo vermicelli while my boyfriend got the shaking beef and egg rolls and I got the Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls. My boyfriend got his egg rolls and I didn't get my spring rolls until after everyone's' order came in so I have a feeling that the employee who took our order forgot or the kitchen forgot. There was no apology or anything for it either. I got my food first, after several minutes the shaking beef came out and after another a while my friend got his vermicelli bowl. Luckily we weren't pressed for time but it made it awkward as we didn't get our food at the same time and it took a bit to get them. I am a slow eater so I guess it worked out that I got mine first but I also didn't receive my spring rolls until I brought it up once we received everything else. The food was phenomenal and our friends said their drinks were perfect too. I did enjoy my Bun Bo Hue, though I did make it a bit more spicier with their chili oil. They have plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate all party sizes. They do have a bathroom but you have to go through a long, scary hallway to get to it. The tables have probably the cutest container for their chili oil but I appreciate that they have napkins, sriracha, hoisin, and utensils on the table. The employees don't really check in often and they didn't really come by to fill our waters until we were down with our meal. The service was also pretty much non-existent, it wasn't rude but just felt rushed and cold.

We ordered the canh chua and the soup/ broth itself was so good, very sweet and well balanced however we got it with catfish and the fish itself was too fishy and tasted overcooked. The soup was good enough I'd try it again , maybe with a different choice than catfish tho. For the spring rolls, I just thought it was okay it was 10 dollars for 4 rolls (that are half rolls) and each mini roll had 1/2 shrimps so it playing like over a dollar for each shrimp. It's crazy to me that some of the rolls had 1 piece of shrimp not even 2 -- it was mainly noodles and lettuce and a little crispy thing and like 1 piece of shrimp. Overall it was fine I just felt it was expensive. The banh xeo was so disappointing, everything about it was fine but the meat was terrible. Bites with shrimp was good, but bites with meat were terrible - unseasoned little meat clumps. We also noticied the banh xeo was mainly meat and I checked and we only had 2 shrimps in the whole thing which is so little. We even opened it up and ate things individually to figure out what was so bad about it. overall every dish had something missing but everything could be easily fixed I feel
