    Wontons & BBQ Pork Egg Noodle Soup
    Joe H.

    I have been here multiple times now. Their pho is very average at best. Especially nowadays, many pho restaurants have really stepped up their game while this place....hasn't changed much. I think it may be the star anise... The broth has a distinct difference that does not work quite well for me and it is different from other places. Today though I felt like venturing out and ordered their egg noodles with wontons and Chinese-style BBQ pork and it was actually surprisingly good! If I had to review just based on today's experience, I would have given this place 4 stars. Portions were big and I love all the veggies they put in here. It really makes the broth more multi-dimensional in terms of aroma and taste. The service is always solid. Ambiance is okay too. Don't come here expecting some romantic dining experience but the inside is well maintained and service is fast and unmemorable in a positive way.

    My favorite pho restaurant I have been to! The service is amazing and they are so friendly. I have been going to this restaurant for over 6 years now, and the quality has continually increased. So tasty and amazing portions for your $$!!

    Mongolian Beef

    This is one of my absolute favorite pho spots! I usually order pho every time I come, but today I wanted to try something different, so I ordered the Mongolian beef. I was honestly so surprised -- the beef was incredibly tender and literally melted in my mouth. The sauce was also amazing, and I kept saying "wow" while eating because it was that good. I'm so happy I discovered such a delicious dish unexpectedly! I'll definitely be strongly recommending this place to my friends and family.

    I ordered shrimp curry. The curry only had 2 pieces of shrimp and the rest of it was corn. Should rename to corn curry!

    Meatball pho

    The pho here is so good!! Being Vietnamese I am a harsh critic when it comes to pho, but it is so delicious here and the portion sizes are amazing! I love when there are a ton of herbs in the pho makes it so good. The broth is nice, clear, and didn't make me feel ick after from MSG. We also got the fresh rolls and those were good, no noodles in it though which is fine since there are noodles in pho lol Always a little interesting when they serve other cuisines at a pho restaurant but most people were having pho. It is a great spot if you are craving!

    Small pho (D and G)
    Sarah C.

    We came here for a quick lunch on a Tuesday afternoon because my husband was craving pho and he mentioned he's been here before. It was fairly busy since it was lunchtime but we got seated right away. We each ordered a small pho (one D and G). One with brisket and meatballs and the other with brisket and rare steak. The food came out pretty quickly and we were pleasantly surprised how big the bowls were for being the small size. Overall it was okay but I didn't think the broth was especially flavorful and my husband wanted the broth to be hotter. Maybe it's just preference? The food was fine but I guess nothing stuck out to me and also, $14 for a small pho?? I wonder if prices for all pho places have gone up!

    The food was delicious and especially their service was wonderful. They were very fast on bring the food out. I really appreciate that very much. B

    Around $15 for a bowl of pho. The soup was average and I think it was missing something (the essence of the beef fat?).

This was on a Friday night at almost 6pm and my friend and I came in to a nearly empty interior that filled up throughout our stay. Is it just dinnertime that time or were my friend and I bringing in the crowds? You'll enjoy a very clean and well-kept restaurant with clean tables and chairs, with lighting that's very little but lights up the whole place well. Menu has a lot of offerings (both regular and vegetarian) but since it's dinnertime I decided on a rice dish as usual. I got their beef short ribs rice dish, which has their usual marinated short ribs with a fried egg and veggies. I actually liked how they offered their rice in a separate bowl, and everything else on one plate... which means the meat almost covered my whole plate! By the way, my friend got their grilled pork chop rice dish, and the meat also almost completely covered his plate. Both our meats were marinated so well and held in so much flavor, and came off their bones easily. We both agreed the grilled beef short rib dish I ordered was the winner because of the bolder and more defined marinated taste of the meat. I've tried so many Vietnamese restaurants and almost exclusively get their beef short ribs rice on the first visits of them, but this is the first time I've seen meat portions this huge for a rice dish. I'm thinking of coming back here for another visit even if I have to deal with the tight parking plaza this place is close to.

They have a large menu with lots of options, and lots of items I was not familiar with. Our table ordered the spring rolls with pork. They were delicious! I went with their Classsic Vermicilli bowl which comes with pork, shrimp, a tiny egg rolls, noodles and cucumbers. It was delicious the pork was very tasty and the shrimp were seasoned perfectly. The restaurant is large and definitely a spot for families both small and big. I only noticed a few to go orders. Great spot for Vietnamese food if you happen to find yourself in Bellevue.

Luckily, we quickly got seated, and our orders got taken. I asked for extra cilantro, and they perfectly accomplished that. I ordered the Pho Tai, medium-sized, which was about $16, sort of average pricing for pho. The meat quality was just good, but the broth was flavorful. Pho paired with Thai tea is one of the best combos, and their Thai tea was up to par! I would definitely come back if I were in the area!

I have come many times over the years and the servers dont go out of their way to be nice. Thats fine, since pho restaurants usually have that vibe of just coming in for your food. But the last time i went, they did go out of their way; unfortunately to be RUDE instead. My friends and i came in at 8:30; we knew they closed at 9, but we had our orders ready, and they sat us without an issue (as it seemed). They then gave us attitude and rushed us the entire time. My friend asked the girl server with glasses for extra veggies. The server visibly hesitated, said yes, but then tried to explain the veggies were to portion. We said we understood that but simply wanted more. She agreed, but then proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the time. She ignored us when we said thank you, and stood behind our booth without saying anything; waiting for us to get up and leave. The other server (asian guy, about 20s, with a mask) who had sat us, stood and watched us eating the entire time. When he brought us the first two bowls of pho, he said it was x item, then randomly waved his hand at me to tell me it was y item (my order). It wasnt lol. When he rang us up, he basically threw us our reciepts to sign. In the past, it once took this same server my entire meal to refill my water and in the end he never did it. I didnt think coming in at 8:30 was crazy, especially when most of the restaurant was filled when we pulled up and we knew we could finish up by 9 (which we did). If youre going to ruin our meal AND experience because we came in at the last hour then dont bother seating us at all. And if youre going to have this much resentment at the end of your shift for giving customers extra veggies then learn how to say no. I as well as my two friends each have worked in customer service for a long time. We know its annoying to have late customers, and i dont know what kind of day they had. Its still unreasonable to behave like this at their grown working age. Like i said; learn how to say no, maybe your shift wont be so miserable. And dont take it out on your customers; its a terrible business look. Ive tolerated the small things like them not being the most friendly or forgetting to fill my water; ive once overlooked them giving me the wrong order before. But i will not be coming back anymore since i prefer not to have staring competitions with my power-tripping server.

The staff were friendly and polite - and they graciously accommodated my peanut allergy, and quickly accommodated small requests like for bowls or extra napkins. We ordered four items: the missus got the bun bo hue, and I got the special beef pho. We shared the pancake and the spring roll. The noodle dishes were decent, but the standout was the Vietnamese pancake. Definitely order this if you're on the fence! The restaurant got a lot busier after we got our food - at least two or three parties who arrived (two each) had to wait between 5-10 min for a table to clear. The staff are super efficient at clearing tables so you won't need to wait long, but the downside of this place is that their popularity easily exceeds their capacity - so be patient! I don't have any notes for ambiance. Parking is available in the same plaza, but there isn't much - a lot are reserved for specific businesses between specific hours, so be careful not to park in an open business if you intend to eat here!

They forgot our enoki mushrooms but one quick wave down fixed it without hassle, so appreciate that. Paid about $100 per person each time, but we go a bit hard, could get away with $50-60 per person plus their tasty sauce and food bar. They don't explain the happy hour that well, but during happy hour they have set menus that include sauce bar and unlimited rice or noodles. Unfortunately, we didn't see it until after ordering so paid a bit extra. Pork bone broth is pretty average, a safe choice but nothing special over here. However, their tomato broth is one of the richest around, rich and umami. Luckily everyone gets their own pot which is essentially a cost per person, before ordering menu items. All the beef is so tasty, tender, and perfectly fatty. Great seafood (especially the shrimp paste / shrimp pate).
