My friend and I had the grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli bowls. It was very good. Service was excellent. The server was very nice. The restaurant is located on a very busy street that does not allow on-street parking. There are a few parking spots in the back. read more

We came here on a whim since I was craving vietnamese food and saw that this place has a lot of non typical dishes. Parking here can be difficult and the entrance is pretty narrow and can be confusing because apparently it's also a drive thru where they can pick up from the window....there was a car waiting at the window when we were there, but the weird part is that the window was right next to a dining table and a couple was about to sit there to eat... Service was ok, they definitely need more people working. There was one person doing everything in the front and she definitely got flustered. She brought food to us when we haven't even ordered yet and forgot to give us a to go container when we asked for it. She was very apologetic about it but they seem to have a lunch rush so they definitely need to figure that out. It's a small place and it definitely can get loud if it's busy, but it's not too bad. Food: Ca lau - 5/5 I never had this dish before so I don't know how authentic it is but it was delicious. I love the soup on the side and I love the chewy noodles and the fillings Banh mi chao 3/5 -- the meat in this dish was pretty tough and chewy. The banh mi was also a little chewy, otherwise flavor was good. Salad 5/5 - refreshing, flavorful, really good as a palate cleanser Overall I would come back because they have very interesting dishes here. read more

This place is a small, cute little place but it has HUGE flavors and delicious food! It is a small, unassuming place feom the outside but it is cute and clean on the inside. 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! read more

Very friendly owners! In addition to the 4 parking spots in back, there is parking directly to the south of the building, if the back lot is full. I got Vietnamese coffee, #19 rare beef pho, and my partner and I split the #63 pork bahn mi. They were both really good. I usually get pho from Renton bistro, but I thought the pho was better here. Plus they have bahn mi. The service was really fast and everything tasted fresh and made-to-order. Will come back and try the red pho next time. They told us it's spicy! It was also really clean. read more

So I had frequented their banh mi and bubble tea in Federal Way as I recognized the dog mascot and it was one of my favorite places to grab a drink or banh mi as it was close to home. We didn't know that they had parking and it is pretty tight to get into as well as a small parking space but they do have one at the very least. When we entered, we were greeted warmly by a female employee who was the only waitress and cashier. She delivered us menus and gave us ample to look over the menu as they have Vietnamese food, Thai food, and pho. I was torn between the Bun Bo Hue and combination pho but just got the combo pho while my boyfriend got the chicken pad see ew. It didn't take long for food to arrive which was a bonus as we were hungry but it felt like maybe 10-12 minutes. That's pretty impressive. The food smelled so good and the taste did not disappoint. My boyfriend was a huge fan of the wok hei and general flavor of his pad see ew. I enjoyed the broth, it wasn't bland but it wasn't extraordinary. I will admit I love the addition of a short rib in the combo and while it was one piece, that's more than any other combination phos that I have had in this state. The waitress would check in often and when anyone checked out, she would always provide a punch card which is always a great business tactic. I wish I could speak for the ambiance but there wasn't really much that I could really remember. The inside felt pretty stark and there wasn't much decor where we were sitting which was close to their rear entrance. They had a large TV playing what looked like a Vietnamese street food documentary but no audio. I don't think they had music playing either. Other than that, this a solid spot for those craving Vietnamese or Thai food with fantastic service and quick food. read more

We ordered takeout for our family of 4. It was nice chatting with one of the owners. If I recall correctly, she and her husband run the place by themselves, with the exception of weekends, when they have extra help. I ordered pho for our kids and the Cao Lau Noodles for me and my husband. I don't know how the pho was, but the Cao Lau Noodles were delicious. Please note it was my first time having it, so I have nothing to compare it to. It was also my first time seeing a Vietnamese Restaurant serving it. It was very flavorful with the sauce, which reminded me of a cross of cha siu sauce and Chinese BBQ sauce. I liked the texture of the noodles as well. Everything came together certainly well. I took a picture of the takeout after I had disassembled it. I did, try to put it together as best I could. My only one suggestion would be to use takeout bowls for soupy meals as it's hard to eat out of in a square one, especially when we were not heading home. read more

Hi Pho - Cao Lau Noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Renton, Washington

It always nice when you walk into a restaurant and are greeted with friendly smiles and friendly service. It's even better when the food they serve is delicious! Their pho is very tasty, but I highly recommend you try their "Chicken Bathed Oil Fried Rice" and "Cao Lau Noodles"! So good! Their drinks are on point, too. They are located on a busier street, but they do have parking in the back of the restaurant. The inside is clean and like I mentioned before...very friendly service! read more

It's February 14, 2025, Valentines Day. And it's cold in Renton. What better way than to spend the evening by trying something new, and something tasty. Look no further than Hi Pho! Located at 529 Park Ave N, Renton, WA 98057, in the North Renton neighborhood (south of the Landing) Hi Pho took over the space from the old Thai Time Restaurant. This is significant because, not only will there be some delicious Vietnamese cuisine, but there will also be a few Thai favorites for the neighborhood crowd to get their favorite Thai fix. That said, this is definitely a Vietnamese restaurant. Owned and operated by husband and wife restauranters, Nini Wong and Chinh Pham, Hi Pho is their second location. Hi Bahn Mi in Federal Way, being their first. As Renton residents, Nini welcomes you with her warm hospitality and Chinh is in the kitchen making your favorite Vietnamese fare. Their menu is BIG. So you can be sure that your homestyle Vietnamese favorites are available. Fresh spring roll, it's there. Deep fried tofu, they have it! Traditional Vietnamese rice and noodle dishes, they have that too! I had the deep fried egg roll to start, and I also ordered the Bo Kho - Vietnamese Beef Stew with egg noodles. I will say, there is no Vietnamese restaurant in Renton that makes this. But why stop there? They also have a myriad of sweet drinks and Boba drinks at the ready. Be advised parking is a little sparse. But this space can easily accommodate the diners of Renton Boeing's second shift - and have made this their new go to spot! I even hear they have some tasty chicken wings, which I have to order next. Come on down to North Renton and experience the yummy goodness od Hi Pho!! #HiPhoRenton read more

I was really happy to be introduced to Hi Pho. The way the owners greet you when you walk in, the amazing options on the menu - it was a treat. And walkable! And the quality of the food was great! I had Pad Thai and fresh spring rolls. The freshness of the ingredients definitely stood out. And it turned into a nice leisurely dinner in a really nice environment. My dinner companion had a bowl and highly recommended venturing outside of my love of Pad Thai - and I will definitely do that next time as it looked delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

Cute new pho spot! Food: 4 I got the vegan pho and it is delicious! Only con is way less fried tofu pieces unlike other places. My friend got the thai iced tea and she liked it. I didn't try it bc I don't drink milk but she said it was good. Service: 5 Server was friendly. Main seating area is a good size. I have 3 because there was a table full of dirty dishes next to us that wasn't cleared for about half the time we were seated. And also the bathrooms could be more clean. Ambiance: 3 read more

I ordered the sugarcane shrimp goi cuốn and pho ga. Everything was super flavorful and their pho was a nice clean broth compared to some other restaurants. The only critique I would have is if they added some more chicken to my pho ga! They gave me about 5 small strips and I was a bit underwhelmed. The staff was very hospitable and kind and the inside of the restaurant was nice and clean! beware: parking is limited! read more

It's so good! Great portions for the cost. Super tasty! Excellent service and great layout.

Server was amazing! It was nice and cozy as well. The food was amazing, the broth was flavorful and I would recommend the house special. Went back two days later read more

Went there twice. Found this place after I went to my dentist. The service was quick and friendly. The beef pho soup base was top notch- it tatste fresh and made from scratch with lots of bones and meats, and not artificailly sugary. tasty from real meats, herbs, and spices (cinemon/star anise, etc. ). Beef and ribs taste fresh andof good quality. The dining area is also bright and clean. They have a screen that always show the lively street food scenes in Vietnam. read more

I found myself dreaming of a good bahn mi sandwich, and wondered where a good one was to be found in my area. I found Hi Pho, and wandered over. I was instantly impressed by the great service, and when the food came, I was happy as a clam! The atmosphere is middle class, but the service and the food was top notch. I got the teriyaki tofu banh mi, and a plate of pad kee mao. (Yes, they even had some Thai food there!) I recommend them highly. read more

Great price and nice services. Newly remodel and right by the Landing shopping area. Love the food and Viet coffee. Will go back again.

Pho was amazing, best in the area by far! Service was fast and great, very nice team members. Would definitely recommend!

I should have checked out yelp and not just Google reviews. Portions are small and the food quality is not good. Parking is difficult to access. The small brisket pho had 4 paper thing pieces of meat. Hard pass on this place. read more

What a little gem off of Park Ave! The interior was light & pretty. I had basic Pho but it was delicious. The staff were awesome.

Tried the Creamy Chicken Curry and it didn't disappoint. On top of great food it's a cool atmosphere and everyone is nice. If you're in Renton looking for something to eat swing in.. read more

I stopped by Hi Pho a couple days ago for a quick bite. My typical meal at this place in the past is one of their Pho or Bun Bo Hue. Wanting something different I got an order of chicken wings marinated in fish sauce and a tray of squid wrap in rice paper. Both dishes were delicious. But my favorite here has to be their Pho which I'll be having again the next time I am there. Service is very good! Too lazy with the pictures read more

My grilled pork sandwich was delicious and I would gladly order again but my matcha latte was very disappointing as that was the main reason for my order. At first glance the latte looked stark white and after mixing there was nearly no green and no matcha flavor. Great food but the matcha was regrettable. read more

Hi Pho - Strawberry matcha - Vietnamese Near Me - Renton, Washington

We just tried this place. Definitely not a good value or flavorful. Bun Rieu was decent not flavorful and small portion. The meat was inedible and chewy in the special pho. The Bun Bo Hue had little flavor and again small portion and some of the noodles were still hard pieces. We ordered the viet coffee and instead was given the purple galaxy and waitress said with a smile that she repeated the order to us so we just took it and paid it but at the time of payment, receipt clearly showed viet coffee and when confronted about it, she made no concessions to us the customer and just said well the purple galaxy costs more than your viet coffee. We paid and went our way but never ever coming back to this place. read more

I got the Cao Lau noodles to go and had them the next day. They were absolutely delicious and savory! The marinated pork was spot on. The flavors brought back memories of my trip to Hoi An when I was little. I loved the dish so much--highly recommend it. Support local businesses, and I will definitely order it again! read more

Initially uncertain, I relied on these reviews, but my expectations were not met. The items we ordered lacked flavor or were flavorless.

Super yummy! I highly recommend this new spot, the owners and the staff are super nice and friendly! read more

So glad we have Hi Pho restaurant close to home that offers more vegetarian dishes with homemade ingredients. Definitely on my go-to Vietnamese restaurant list. Wonderful and friendly service too!

The food and service was exceptional. The restaurant conditions were excellent. The Hostess was very kind and made me feel very welcome. Will definitely be returning soon! read more

Ordered a pork banh mi with no jalapeño and added an egg. Wasn't until 15 minutes later that i'm told they're out of pork. Fine, i'll take chicken but then my banh mi had jalapeño and was missing the egg. The banh mi was mid (especially for the price) and I'm very dissatisfied with the service. read more
