    Let's just put it this way: I have a near bottomless appetite for soup, and even the medium is a more than generous serving. Get the pho with everything (#15).

    The grilled pork vermicelli is great on a summer day! So are the spring rolls - cool and refreshing. Free mango pudding for dessert (or a soda) rounds out this perfect summer meal.

    Takes ApplePay! The pork banh mi's pretty good, but bread is more doughy (more of a chore to eat) compared to Taste of Pho. Missing beef banh mi option. Free mango dessert great. Look fwd to try pho.

    Banh mi is consistently good. The pho seems to be more traditional: clean broth, fatty meat, thicker non-translucent noodles. I personally prefer the pho at Taste of Pho in Lynnwood.

    The only MSG-free pho I've found in Seattle. Great value. I always get the #3 rare beef. You can ask for Sambal to add a little more heat if needed - I do!

    Relatively inexpensive and very quick for carryout. Love the chicken pho. I always order extra vegetables.

    Solid Vietnamese and Pho play. Very reasonably priced. It's the real deal Pho here.

    The egg rolls were great, the number 3 with extra noodles was great, and everything comes with a free can of soda. Great!

    They have started to give less veggies and tofu in the veggie pho, so ask for extra veggies... Kinda disappointing for someone that loves this place.

    As good as Than Bros but with better service, atmosphere, and prices. Plus you get a free soda! Hard to beat!

    Loved the eggrplls and mango pudding. Beef Pho was so-so. I prefer Than Bros broth.
