    Large Pho brisket and rare beef
    Rome M.

    Not sure how I feel about this. I'm always down to try new pho spots in and around Everett. This ain't it. The broth was kind of sweet almost like instant broth. My wife and I didn't even finish ours and were left disappointed. They are pretty generous with the portion though.

    Vegetable additions, bean sprouts, jalapeños and mint leaves.

    After a cold day outside, we ventured into a new Pho restaurant . This was a nice surprise as it had replaced my favorite Gyro spot. The restaurant has been modernized, adding tables and yet it seems to flow nicely. The customer service was excellent, the tea warmed my soul as reviewed the wonderful selection of menu items with colorful pictures. The appetizers were delicious, with the main menu potion size more than fulfilling.

    This place is a boon for Everett. I'm originally from California and that is where I was introduced to and developed a real taste for pho. Since I moved up here, for 10 years plus, I've had a hard time trying to find a pho that hits. There are plenty of pho spots and Vietnamese restaurants with a wide variety of dishes, quality varying greatly, but pho seems to be a hard not to miss option. But I'm still finding it difficult to find one that satisfies my palate. This place is fairly new but it has been doing pretty good since its opening. I think I heard that the owners are also running Mukilteo Thai Restaurant but don't quote me on that. I Want Pho also boasts a pretty decent selection of Thai food as well that I've yet to try but right now we're looking at the pho and Viet menu offerings. I've eaten inside a few times while also placing orders for take home as well so I have a fair perspective on this place. Service has always been good. It's very standard if you're familiar with Pho spots. You come in and if you're dining inside then just grab a table and they'll be there shortly with menus. Inside is fairly big and can accommodate a large party or family, which I've seen upon a visit or two. Quick digression but this place seems to be family oriented which is always a good sign. Back to topic; there are a line of booths along the wall and the main floor is stacked with classic wood tables and chairs. It gives a very familiar Pho restaurant vibe yet still feels homey. There's usually music playing and they have a tv behind the main counter either playing videos or whatever show they might have on. I've only seated myself in the booths but seating is comfortable and being a bigger guy, I've never had to squeeze or push the table back to get in. Tables have all the accoutrements needed for pho from spoons and chopsticks both plastic and wood and the sauces as well. Any dishes ordered that need silverware will be provided. Sometimes a wipe down is needed but nothing has ever been off putting. All the waitresses have been nice and welcoming but they are attuned to your needs and behavior. When the owner is in he's very talkative to customers and his staff and it feels good to see that attitude. Now the food. Like I said, I've been here a few times with also getting take away as well. I've done a small yet decent touching of the menu but there's a lot to order so one dish might or might not translate to another but I don't have any serious issues. On the appetizer side I've had the spring rolls, wings, bbq pork bun, and coconut prawns. They were all good but nothing stood out. The shrimp spring rolls were a little underwhelming since they have brisket and I was hopeful for depth in flavor and texture but I couldn't really differentiate between the items but still good. The wings were very surprising. They were the whole wing, which I rarely see anymore but that was pleasing. They were drenched in a sticky sauce that can be quite hazardous to the napkin supply. The sauce had flavor, sweet and salty but again nothing to rave over. The pork buns were probably frozen but they were snack-able. The same goes for the coconut prawns. Crispy and you taste the shrimp with the coconut but they were ok. On the entree side I've had the beef banh mi, the short rib vermicelli and the pho. The beef banh mi is huge. I mean bigger than any banh mi I've ever had or seen. It was packed with beef. The flavor was good but the sandwich was dry. Had it been moist I think it would have been knocked out of the park but it was good and filling. All the ingredients tasted fresh. But more juicy and tender would be nice. The short rib vermicelli was a beautiful dish. I wish I took a picture but trust me, it was colorful and bountiful. On a side note, I think the majority of entrees are pretty big so if you're not a big eater you can either share or just save for later. And now the pho. I want to start off with a minor complaint. I just wish the pho was hotter in terms of temperature. I'm not saying it was cold or lukewarm but it wasn't steaming piping hot. I don't mind waiting for it to cool down or possibly burning my mouth lol but that's the only negative I have. The pho was great. Really great. It's not the best but it was better than I've had in a long time. And they also offer a small, which is unheard of for Pho restaurants but I opted for the medium. I got the 7 with tripe added. It was brimming and packed with meat and noodles . You get the standard bean sprouts, jalapeño, lime and basil. And again your table has all the sauces to doctor it up to your liking but for me the broth was enough to stand on its own. Excellent flavor. The noodles had bite and absorbed the broth with fattiness of the brisket. I really couldn't put my spoon down hahahahhaha. I really enjoyed it.

    The food was pretty average and not mind blowing good. Mind you, I'm pretty new to Pho in general. I wanted to try the beef rib pho for a while now and it was a bit disappointing as the beef was chewy and not fall off the bone tender. The broth had good flavor and the great service made up for average but good food. Excellent t customer service and the place was clean and well kept. I'll come back to try some other items but for now, on the hunt for amazing pho!

    Amazing you guys need to try! It's a newer pho place but they also have a big thai cuisine menu. The vibe of the place is so cute and when they had messed up our order the owner came out and offered another one right away apologizing. It was delicious!

    This is a brand-new Vietnamese & Thai restaurant in Everett. Yesterday My husband and I came here for lunch after shopping at the Everett mall. Every dish we ordered was really tasty and good quality. The portion was huge and price reasonable. Lot's of items on their menu. Served was nice and friendly, he made sure our orders were well take care of. Highly recommended.!! if you're in the Everett area, make sure you stop by for a meal. Good food!!Good place!! Good price!!

    I like how their soup tastes: not greasy, not artificial, but clean and flavorful. Besides their traditional Vietnamese noodle soup and sandwich, their other dishes were also good. This will be my go-to when I want me some pho. Such a clean restaurant too!

I'm assuming she is one of the owners... but she took over and kept him preoccupied while I was able to eat my meal while it was still hot. (Which is a rarity for a mom). She went above and beyond to help me enjoy my meal with my family and friends. I will never forget this act of kindness... it really takes a village. So thank you for giving me a great dining experience.

Thank you

    Dined at Rum Thai Cuisine prior to a comedy show at the nearby Everett Theater. We made…read morereservations, yet on arriving the joint was barely populated. I liked the fact that the menu was well organized with well described ingredients and accompanying pictures of the dishes (as a more exotic type genre, I have no clue how the traditional dish name translates to something I wish to order). I ordered the Swimming Rama because I wanted wide noodles and spinach. It arrived as a generous portion with excellent quantities of all the different ingredients. I'm also not a fiery hot spice eater, but don't want bland either, and the temperature was proper at spice level 2-3. Normally I would have most of the dish and reserve some for lunch tomorrow, but it was so good (combined with a desire to not carry doggie bags to our next stop) that I finished my dish. My wife had the papaya salad and red curry, and she found them very fresh and flavorful, spicy but not excessive. She also finished her plate. Minor deduction in that the dining area is somewhat small and nondescript, and the door on a cold evening let in some cold (our waiter made sure to bus the door with every passage to minimize this issue). Prices were fair and competitive: great quality and quantity at a good price. I don't understand why there wasn't more of a a crowd!? A real witness: We are planning on returning in a month.

I started with fresh rolls, which is always how I judge a place. They were really good and the peanut sauce was just right. In fact, the peanut sauce was so good that I ordered the swimming rama :) it was phenomenal and a great texture. Our waitress had a good knowledge of gluten free options and was able to help me order something I could have. She was helpful and only really came to the table when needed. They had tons of traditional Thai options, but also some fun specials that I can't wait to try next time I go. A really great variety- plus some amazing lunch specials that I want to come back to try. The takeout box started dissolving a few hours later, so would recommend transferring into containers as soon as you get home. The noodles did last well to be reheated the next day for leftovers, which is always a good sign. Flavorful, delicious, knowledgeable severs, and a reasonable price! Definitely worth trying if you are in the area.

    Went here for dinner on a Tuesday around 7 pm and got seated without much wait, which was great…read more One of the best things about this place is that they offer a full vegan menu, which is definitely a big plus. We started with the pumpkin tempura. It was crispy on the outside, with a naturally sweet pumpkin inside. It was really delicious. It came with a dipping sauce, though the portion felt quite small. The side of lettuce and a chunk of purple cabbage felt a bit odd presentation wise, but once we wrapped everything together and dipped it, it tasted great. For my main, I ordered the vegan herb tofu salad with medium spice. It was mostly fried tofu tossed in a herb dressing with mint, tamarind, and cilantro. The flavor was a mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy. It honestly reminded me a bit of pani puri. That said, the sweetness was a bit overpowering and made the dish slightly sticky. If they toned that down, it would be perfect. We also tried the vegan 17th curry fried rice, which was good. The curry flavor was subtle. My toddler absolutely loved it. Overall, I would recommend this place, especially for vegans. The food was good, with the only downside being that some dishes leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. The service was okay, not exceptional, but not bad either. I had visited this place about three years ago on a busy Friday night and had a pretty poor service experience, so I wanted to give it another shot on a weekday. The food has improved, and the service was decent this time around.
