    Picked up some pho, vermicelli bowls and banh mi sandwiches. When we arrived to pick up the food, the staff was getting ready to go, but were still nice and polite. The food was tasty and well packaged, but disappointed in my pho portion as I only got one meat ball and a small amount of the other meats. There were plenty of noodles but not enough meat for sure.

    Pad See Ew
    Pre J.

    Very unassuming place. Parking lot is kind of dim. Walked in and was seated right away. Ordered pho & pad see ew. Food came out hot and fast.

    The foods was very delicious. I like the banh xeo crepe the most. The service was very good and fast. I was on a rush, so this was appreciated.

    A better look at the bug that was in my pho
    Mrs G.

    *TAKE OUT REVIEW* I stopped in on a Friday evening and ordered Pho Dac Biet and Kee Mao Noodles with chicken. I was beyond disappointed and will never be back. PHO - my appetite was ruined after I found a baby roach! Broth was tasty but as I got halfway into my bowl I see the bug. I was praying that my eyes were deceiving me but they weren't and I wanted to cry. KEE MAO - I was hesitant about eating it at first because of the pho but I probed the heck outta the dish to make sure there weren't any extra surprises. It had no flavor at all. There were zero pepper flakes as I ordered 3-stars for spice. Chicken was dry. Noodles were not fresh and they were very thick from sticking together. The texture of the noodles were so bad, I didn't even want to finish it. I was hoping this would be my go-to place because of the reviews and health score rating was excellent. I didn't get sick or have tummy issues as I'm sure the bug was already dead. It was just an unfortunate experience and a waste of money.

    The large pho was good $15.

    The large pho was $15 lunch menu. The customer service needs improvement please. If the server says pick any table you want, please do not ask me to move tables. Thats funny business. Maybe had estimated 8 customers dining inside, and the older server was trying to tell me to change tables. Maybe 8 out of 45 dining capacity for dine in and 10 variety two top to 4 other 4 seating available. Time was 1100 am lunch time. The server was a young guy, he looked kind of lost, the older guy had to guide him on how to serve water. I would recommend training might be better before or after the start of business hours.

    Papaya salad with pork
    Wennie H.

    Food takes awhile but the grilled pork spring rolls are definitely worth it. The green papaya salad with grilled pork is also 100% worth getting even though it's literally green papaya and a few pickled daikon and carrot (not so much a "salad") but really good. I also think the pho broth is better than other options in the area but I'm not super picky when it comes to that.

    35. Pho Dac Biet
    David H.

    Solid spot for pho in the Renton area! I had the large Dac Biet (combination pho) and it was great. The broth is a little bit on the sweeter side but I think a lot of people will like that. It was also bit fatty compared to what I'm used to, but still enjoyable. The large size was pretty filling and although a bit pricy at $14.50, I was happy with what I got. The meat/toppings were solid as well. One thing I like about this place is how big the restaurant is. It's a spacious spot so it's perfect for large parties or families, but they also have a ton of smaller booths that feel a lot more private. On a cold rainy day, my introvert self was especially happy to dine there and be away from everyone else. Service was also fast and efficient. I will definitely be back!

While there are plenty of paid parking lots around, we found free parking on the beach side, which offers quick and easy access to the restaurant--highly recommend parking there! They open at 12 PM, and we were seated right by the window. They also have a beautiful patio right on Lake Washington. Dining outside under the sun would definitely be amazing. ​We shared the Wagyu Pho and the Grilled Pork Broken Rice from the lunch menu. Instead of the usual bean sprouts and basil, the Pho here is served traditional Hanoi-style with shaved banana blossoms, mint, lime, and homemade chili. The flavor was excellent and they were very generous with the meat. However, my only disappointment was that the soup was lukewarm and cooled down way too quickly. The interior decor is gorgeous and the staff was super polite and attentive. I'd love to come back next time to enjoy dinner on the patio during sunset.

Also, overpriced drinks are served in small glasses. You take two sips and it's gone :( Last time I was here, it was a hot sunny day and we requested to sit inside to escape the heat. It wasn't any better inside because the big walls/window were open to the patio area, so it was just as hot inside with no moving air. There were also a lot of mosquitoes inside and me and my dinner party got bug bites during our dinner. We saw a bug zapper above a dinner table and would have hated to be seated underneath that.. imagine hearing bug zaps while eating ugh. We would have probably stayed longer and enjoyed the sunset view if it weren't for all the mosquitos. I know you can't control nature but it was def impacting our overall experience and made us leave asap.

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.

Staff was nice, attentive and the tables and restaurant seemed very clean. We ordered pho, chicken summer rolls and a grilled chicken rice plate. The broth didn't have a lot of depth.

I will keep looking for other pho restaurants to try. We have visited I Love Pho and Square Lotus in the Factoria area for probably 2 decades so need a change sometimes.

We ordered the wonton soup with ramen noodles, which was quite good and comforting. The shrimp fresh rolls were also good, fresh, and flavorful, though they definitely could have used a lot more peanut sauce--having more would have made them much better. One downside that's hard to ignore was the cleanliness. The floor was extremely dirty, and it appeared that when tables were being cleared, food was simply swept onto the floor. The edges around the tables, walls, and planters were also very dusty and dirty. It honestly made us wonder what "extras" might be making their way into the food.

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.
