    Special - All Cuts Pho (large)
    Tien N.

    I stumbled upon The Pho after getting groceries at Trader Joe's in the nearby plaza. It seems like a new, well furnished and inviting place for late lunch so my sister and I decided to try it out. When greeted, the only host / food runner / waitress was a bit distressed probably due to the lack of staff to help at that time. However she was so sweet and went above and beyond to make sure us, as well as other patrons were taken care of during our time dining there. We wanted to try 3 dishes: crispy chicken wings, special all-cuts Pho and the Bun Bo Hue (beef noodle soup, Hue style). The crispy chicken wings were well seasoned and battered to crispy perfection accompanied with sweet tangy chili sauce. Pho had a pleasant aroma and broth was delicious. Although the restaurant does not have sriracha, they do provide chili oil, another type of sriracha-like hot sauce, soy sauce and other condiments which makes it easier for customers to adjust each dish to their liking. The Bun Bo Hue was nice. Tons of broth and noodles. We even asked for some to-go so we can finish the leftovers. Overall food was excellent. The clean modern decor made it pleasant to dine. There is a single stall unisex restroom in the back that is also clean. Plenty of day lighting and tables/booth options. Outside, there's ample parking. A great place for lunch / dinner. I highly recommend The Pho. Thanks to our wonderful waitress for taking care of us. She made the experience very pleasant and inviting.

    One of things I appreciated about this place are the portion sizes. When you order a large bowl of Pho, you'll actually get a large bowl of it! They do not skimp on the meat and noodles. There are many places around Burien/SeaTac that does this, you'll pay a premium for a large bowl and the ratio of broth to meat/noodles are off; you get a generous amount broth, pieces of meat and noodles that can be slurped up in few seconds. I ordered this restaurant's large combination Pho, it had large cuts of flanks, tendon, and meatballs; a delicate seasoned broth with the right about on spices such as sugar, cardamom and cinnamon; some places go heavy on these spices but they got it right; broth appearance looks clean, no murkiness or unusual aftertaste; no fish sauce. Service was fair; a young aloof & unenthusiastic person with a poodle-like hairstyle took our order and payment. Inside is spacious, clean tables and cutlery. Apparently they have happy hour where their menu is slightly discounted. I'll come back soon when I'm craving a good bowl of Pho!

    The food here is fresh and the portion sizes are great! Got the combo vermicelli bowl and it was so good

    Combination vermicelli bowl $17 comes with pork, chicken and egg roll
    Eric C.

    This review is solely based on a comparison to other Pho restaurants in the surrounding area. Combination vermicelli bowl $17 comes with pork, chicken and egg roll. Tried the Pho tai with tripe. Really great broth! Not too salty had good flavors Combination Com Tam plate $20 (doesn't have an egg like the photo on the menu though!) But quality seems good. Ample parking and the restaurant is very clean. Restrooms are also nice and clean, which is rare at a lot of pho restaurants. Staff are also friendly. The chicken in the vermicelli bowl would be better if it was grilled. But that's basically my only complaint. Oh, and the lack of egg on the rice plate despite the photo showing an egg. Prices are comparable compared to other pho restaurants nowadays

    Aside from looking clean and nice, everything else was bad for us. There was a wait list to sign up and after we waited for 5 minutes, a server came out and asked "Who came first?". The patrons looked so confused and someone said "Er, why don't you look at the list?" 1st strike! Then when we sat down and placed an order, after punching in everything, the same guy asked us to actually repeat everything again. We happily did and asked to make sure the beansprouts are cooked. He brought a dish of raw sprouts immediately. Then we asked him to bring it back to cook it. 5 mins later the same dish reappeared miraculously in front or us. We gave up and decide to ask another server to do so for us The pho finally came and boy, broth was so much that I thought I ordered some hot pot. And the first sip was a total disappointment. The browth lacks both the Pho smell and the umami taste. Never in my life I had to put so much fish sauce and other sauces to make it edible. And the bowl had some chips in there, making it dangerous for people who likes slurping the broth. And the coffee was overrated. The ice wasn't well blended

    The food was excellent... good flavor, but the service was horrible. The waiters didn't greet us. They just put down the plates when they brought the food. They didn't say anything, as if it were an animal. There was only one table. And they forgot the appetizer and mistyped the order. They didn't give us a refill of water.

    We just had a very enjoyable pre-Christmas get together with 15 friends & neighbors! I arranged w Taty Phan & "Monica" for a long table with numbered place settings so guests could go up to counter, order/pay & give seat # - the friendly, efficient staff brought everyone's delicious, hot food right away I brought table decorations, Santa hats/head gear, door prizes & goodie bags - it was a very fun time & easy way to host a party & I'm doing this again here soon Everyone said the food was tasty & the place was clean, nicely decorated & the staff was attentive - we highly recommend!

    Steak and flank pho with side order of meatballs
    Nancy N.

    I ordered my food Togo from Ubereat and my first time experience was decent. I had higher expectations than what I got. I ordered the steak and flank pho, fried chicken rice, egg rolls, and a Thai tea. Let's start with the pho I was a little disappointed. The pho broth did not have an authentic beef smell. The steak cut was thick but I can tell you it was super tender. The chicken rice plate was good that's what my husband said but unfortunately it was not crispy at all. The egg rolls was good but it was over fried, mines was pretty brown brown. Lastly the Thai tea was the least fav, it did not have the Thai tea smell or taste. The tea was not sweet pretty much water down. Will I give this place another try? Yes I will

    Short Ribs Rice Plate and #11. Pho Beef Ribs ...
    Simon B.

    Omg delicious ... excellent recipes to choose from and very good presentation. I tried 2 entrées just to rate them, and also have some extra food at work. I did the beef rib Phò and the short rib entrée. The Phò broth was excellent ... flavorful, delicate and fresh tasting. The short rib was grilled to perfection (not too raw, not overdone) ... with a nice veggie side and a salad. Great spot overall

    Bun bo hue
    Mailee V.

    Upon entering we were warmly greeted and seated with waters and menus. The staff was friendly. The environment is great, the ceiling lights to the tables and chairs are very aesthetic including the music. When we received our order the appetizers were a hit. The calamari is crispy and the spring roll was refreshing. Next for the soups the combo pho has a bit of everything and it was yummy. Bun bo hue is very delicious and spicy that made me like it more. The soup was delicious with the pork hocks. I would come back again! And when we left we received a warm good bye.

    Pho broth is too salty, and the meat is not fresh. The restaurant is very aesthestically pleasing however the food needs a lot of work.

I thought in all of my fooding that I had found my "best" bahn mi sandwich. I was wrong. This was my favorite so far in life. The bread had a thin crispy golden outer layer and a warm fluffy interior. The veggies were crisp, flavorful, and pleasantly contrasting each other. I am unsure which part of this sandwich was my favorite as the parts all came together wonderfully. The pickled carrots were delicious. I ate many before even tasting the sandwich. Then there was the chicken! It tasted like it had been marinated then flame grilled by cherubs! We also got the short ribs (which I didn't try) and I was told they were even more delicious than the chicken. My wife's sister bit into one of the ribs and raised her head up saying, "yummmm." The tofu fresh roll was delicous and had a surprise crunch to it. They fry up spring roll wrapper and place it in the middle of the roll adding a little extra. Will be back next time we're in the area! Thanks

Vermicelli was a 3.5 as it was fresh and a good serving (4) but the grilled pork was on the cooler side and didn't taste as crisp and fresh off the grill as you'd expect (3). Best part of the pho was the broth as it wasn't too salty like it can be sometimes elsewhere (4). Veggies were super fresh. Sliced beef was previously sliced and the whole chunk was placed in so you had to tease apart the slices from each other which was a little different than my experiences elsewhere. SKIP THE SPRING ROLLS. Picture had three shrimps/roll. Ours had 1/roll on one side with a slice of pork (I think) on the other. Seemed pretty skimpy if you ask me (2.5 at best). Service was good (4). Location was in a small strip mall with a Mexican and Indian place next door. The bars over nearly the entire front storefront were definitely interesting. For an out-of-towner, this part of Kent seems like a Santa Ana/Westminister/Garden Grove of OC, CA kind of an area with different ethnic offerings up and down the street.
