**vegetarian review** I really like Lucky Pho. Everytime I walk past I love the fragrance of the pho and hence walkin for takeout quite often haha. I like their seated experience - where you get the extra condiments yourself like basil and sprouts for the pho. The service is quick and the food is obviously really really good. I have also done takeout many times - both the pho and the bahnmi with tofu are amongst my repeat orders. Definitely my fav pho place in fremont read more

Lucky's Pho - BanhMi Sandwich-Tofu* - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent service and friendly staff in an unassuming setting! The pho broth was delightful and super flavorful - some of the best I've had here! The noodles were thinner than usual but they worked well! There is also a self-serve toppings bar with the usual bean sprouts, jalapeños, etc. Food comes out about a minute after ordering! read more

My family loves this place. This was the first place my 10 and 7 year old kids had Pho and now they are hooked forever. Great service and of course Great Pho! read more

A wonderfully simple menu with delicious eats! Counter service was easy and quick, we got a sampling of spring rolls, a bahn mi, and pho. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, feeling like one of the great neighborhoods joints in Seattle. The spring rolls were so fresh and tasty, we loved the peanut sauce that came with it. The bahn mi was out of world! Crispy bun exterior with soft tender beef brisket and crunchy veggies. The pho was wonderfully cozy and flavorful. You really can't go wrong here. read more

I've been a regular at Luckys pho and have always appreciated the self-serve concept. However, my recent visit was incredibly disrespectful treatment by the owner/manager. Our group ordered a total of five bowls--two large and three regular. In a situation like this, it is completely reasonable for us to get two plates of bean sprouts, one plate of basil, one plate of lime, and one plate of jalapeños to share. However, as we were enjoying our meal, the owner approached our table and accused us of taking "too much" of the self-serve vegetables. He proceeded to ramble about how our actions were making it unaffordable for him since he does the shopping, trying to make us feel bad. He then singled us out in front of other diners and asked to take a picture of our plates to show his wife. This was completely unnecessary, embarrassing, and showed a severe lack of respect for his customers.Especially when we were dining with our friends visiting from Taiwan . His unprofessional behavior ruined our meal and our opinion of the restaurant. Regardless of his intentions, it was an incredibly rude and manipulative way to handle the situation. The incident completely ruined our meal, and we will not be returning. read more

This is a COVID-era review. Stopped by here to find some food to satisfy some dietary restrictions. I didn't order the pho, but I tried the broth and I thought it was pleasant. I ordered the banh mi (beef +$1). Before I provide my take on the banh mi, I do have to mention that Lucky's is definitely a more trendy American take on the traditional banh mi. Nothing wrong with that! Anyway, the banh mi was great! I enjoyed the bread and beef. An interesting take was the sauce and insides. The sauce was definitely more earthy compared to the mayo-like flavors that I'm used to. There is also lettuce inside which I'm not used to. Loved the kick from the addition of many chilis. Wished for more pickled daikon and carrots (but I'm so used to being able to add a lot into it). You can add avocado to the sandwich (I didn't do it, but I'm sure it'll be good even if it's not traditional). Great spot and staff is kind! read more

Lucky's beef pho is consistently delicious. Also recommend ordering the shrimp spring rolls.

AMAZING food, service, and music/atmosphere! Enjoyed the tofu spring rolls, veggie Pho, chicken Pho, Vietnamese Coffee with boba and Thai iced tea with boba. The restaurant was clean, smelled amazing, had self service buffet style pho accompaniments, self serve filtered cold and hot water and plenty of sauces and utensils on the tables. Would definitely return and recommend to everyone! read more

I ordered this for delivery when I was sick and felt it was prepared quickly and still warm (considering delivery time). The broth was good and I asked for extra tendon in my raw beef+tendon order (by clicking add extra meat button to pay for the addition), and they put quite a lot which made me so happy. I also ordered the pork bahn mi for my household and it was so flavorful! So so good, can't wait to order it again. It was a bit on the hotter side than I am used to but then again most places make them bland with the option to add your own hot sauce. Prices seem average and not over the top. Looking forward to trying in person and will report back at that time. read more

Recently, I've been on a kick for take-out bubble tea and pho. Both work great for a gluten free, dairy free lifestyle. This place was good for take out, and I'll be back. Pho: Aromatic broth (3/5), fresh ingredients (5/5), some of the best packaging I've seen yet (5/5). Beef was a little tough but good, and I love that you get 2 types of beef. Bubble tea: I got the yuzu honey tea. I thought it would be served hot and fresh, but it was cold and actually a delicious base for bubble tea. Works well with the brown sugar boba too. I'll be back! read more

omg this place was actually really good! i've walked by soo many times but didn't stop in because i thought that it looked too hip to taste good (iykyk) but i was so pleasantly surprised! the prices are great, their vietnamese coffee is bitter and strong (just how i like my men), and the service is amazing! everyone is so nice and friendly there, too. will gladly go again :] we didn't love the spring rolls that much because they weren't that filling, but the pho bowls were so yummy. it made my tummy happy :] the garnishes are self-serve, which is really nice! also, we added veggies to our pho and it was so good. highly recommend on a cold, rainy day. read more

Best pho is Fremont, funny thing their is a tan brothers across the street and the only time they are busy is Tuesday when lucky pho is closed, today I ordered a beef broth veggie tofu pho, their vegie broth is pretty good but not as good as the beef in my opinion. What also makes lucky pho stick out from other pho is the spot service of garnishments. Basil, lime bean sprouts and jalapeños you can take as much or as little as you would like also it's nice that the chilly oil is not on the table spearing everything like other places. read more

I don't live in the area and I am so glad my friend took me to Lucky's Pho because it is delicious! I got the #4. The broth was flavorful and noodles were cooked perfectly! They also had a veggie option for my friend and she also got to enjoy her pho which was great. We had takeout and our food was ready in time, no wait when we came to pick it up. It was also packed well and didn't spill on our walk back home! Will be back again! (I completely forgot to take pics cause I just started eating right away lol) read more

Very solid pho and banh mi! Dine in is amazing, prepare to grab a table the second you see it as it's seat-yourself. I love the cheap Asian beer and cute variety of wacky bottle openers. They have garnishes to self serve and you can really load it up how you like! I have taken it to go as well and appreciate the care they put into packing it for travel. sandwiches are flavorful and do get a bit messy but I also pack in extra protein and it's likely juicer than the average. I loved the spring rolls too! 3rd time here was so awesome I'm looking forward to my next chance to go! read more

Awesome Pho with large servings and chill ambiance. Perfect for a chilly evening or nice afternoon. Ordered their Pho Ga and it's so delicious! The noodles are on the thinner side (not used to it back home), but the broth and soup are superb. The vietnamese coffee is also the kicker. Kept me awake all day! Will dine again. read more

i'm from Cali San Jose and this pho just mogged my hometown holy moly Batman. genuinely impressive broth i was shooketh to my Core

They get 3 stars because the vegan pho actually tastes good, but minus 2 stars because the plastic bowl was clearly soaked in bleach very recently before my piping hot food was poured into it. As the vegan pho was set in front of me the smell of chlorine bleach overwhelmed my sense of smell. I immediately realized the bowl smelled so strongly of chlorine bleach that I had to request a different type of food container. I even smelled bleach residue on my fingers after just touching the bowl to take it back to the counter. The staff stated that they bleach their bowls because the broth regularly leaves brown stain / residue. Just a word of caution: Not all plastics are bleach safe & some plastics will become more brittle, porous, & / or more prone to chemical leaching when bleached...gross. Not what I want to eat with my food. read more

The Pho and Spicy Pork sandwich is incredible. They have a veggie bar so you can load yourself up on as much sprouts/mushrooms/chili oil as you want. The ambiance isn't anything crazy, but there's only so much you can do in downtown Seattle. The service was fast and pleasant. Everyone was very nice and easy to talk to. read more

My friend and I came here for a quick dinner after a day trip to Mount Rainier because I had to make the 3 hour drive back to Portland. -- Chin Bo Vein Gan (beef, meatballs, tendon pho) I got the regular size and I found the portion to be more than enough, but not leaving me bloated. The broth was savory and more sweet than I like, but it was flavorful. The amount of meat was decent. The tendon was soft and gelatinous. They cut the meatball up which makes it easier to eat but also kinda tricks you into thinking they give a lot of it when really it's probably 1 meatball in total. -- Iced Vietnamese Coffee I got this to keep me awake for my drive home. I drink coffee regularly and I thought it was pretty strong. After a night of little sleep, snowshoeing and lots of driving, I still wasn't able to fall asleep so I'm guessing it's this coffee that kept me awake. My friend enjoyed his pho and Thai tea too. I also really liked that all the fixings are self serve because I was able to pile on the bean sprouts and basil, add a lot of lime and all the jalapenos I wanted. read more

Lucky's Pho - 5. Beef, Meatball, Tendon Pho (Chin Bo Vein Gan) - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service was amazing, they were very knowledgeable on the menu and ingredients. The food was alright, I got the number one. It came out warm which I didn't really enjoy. I feel like pho always has to come out steamy hot where you have to hefehEHFE before it cools down enough to chew. I'm from the Bay Area so it's hard to top our pho, lucky's was a little bit too salty for me but my bf really liked it! The restaurant was also pretty clean and on a hot day, the ac feels really nice. read more

Hands down the best pho in Seattle! The beef AND veggie broth are always solid. I always go for the meat pho options. Highly recommend the li-hing lemonade! read more

Extremely tasty pho, great price, and very clean. I also think the staff is super, super friendly. They're very accommodating and the broth is tasty. My friend recommended Luckys to me, it's just before Fremont Bridge and I usually park on street right at the light. (Sometimes you do have to pay.) Definitely my new favorite pho spot! read more

Lucky's Pho - My delicious meal! 7. Assorted Vegetables Tofu Pho* - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So much flavor! Such kind staff! Choose your own amount of garnish :) And the fried chili sauce is great!

I ordered the Banh Mi Sandwiches (24 hour brisket) and a Thai Tea (no boba). It's delicious! The sweetness level of the Thai Tea was perfect for me and didn't taste bitter. The banh mi was packed with meat and veggies. Although the meat wasn't as tender as I hoped it would be (given it'd been slow cooked for 24 hours), the bread was toasty and crunchy and the acidity of the sauce balanced the flavors really well. read more

An interesting place. Interior is clean and modern and you order up front and then grab your pho condiments as well, they bus the table however. I got the #1 with added veggie. The veggies added were cabbage, carrot, mushroom and a couple root veggies that were good but I couldn't ID. The meat was tender and tasty and I could see why they charge what they do for the bowl after eating it. It's a higher end bowl compared to some other places that way. That said, salt and msg overpowered the overall flavor and it wasn't a "soft" broth like you usually get Pho Tan or up at Pho Vietnam. The noodles however were excellent, perfectly cooked, tender and yet still firm. Overall I'd come back, especially in the winter when a hot bowl of hearty soup really hits the spot. read more

Delicious! Lots of beef and tendon in our bowls, tons of noodles, piping hot broth, and this was all via delivery. I had a yummy Thai iced tea, too. We've tried a couple of other pho places around here and this has been the best one so far. read more

Even though this isn't my favorite broth I keep coming back to Lucky's Pho because I love how it comes out piping hot and fresh! Not many places serve their pho this hot, probably because stuff that goes in aren't necessarily at the same temperature as the soup (i.e. meat and veggies). I just really wish the broth is saltier rather than sweet.. but that's just my preference. The Taiwan milk tea was good too. read more

One night my partner and I were trying to find somewhere to eat, but everywhere we wanted to go was just about to close. So, we decided to give Lucky's a shot... and I'm so glad we did! Lucky's is now part of our takeout rotation. We always get the pork banh mi with a side of pho broth for dipping, and spring rolls. It's delicious. The chunks of pork are nice and tender, and the sauce in the sandwich is tasty. I also love the peanut sauce for the spring rolls, and there's a generous amount of shrimp in them too. Everyone who works there is also very friendly--especially Lina! She has our order memorized, which tells you how often we visit :). read more

EDIT: Well I just gave it a second shot, and I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I got the same result: more chunks of pure fat in my pork sandwich (see photos). I also tried the spring rolls and the shrimp smelled a little fishy...I felt ok about eating eat, but that's not a great indicator of freshness. I really have no choice but to lower my rating, and I'm on the fence between 2 and 3 stars :/ As I said in my original review below, I liked pretty much everything else about the sandwich, but if they can't be bothered to check their meat and remove giant hunks of fat before serving it, I can't be bothered to give them my business. I just found a new lunch spot near work and I'm pretty darn pleased about it! Ordered takeout from Lucky's for the first time today because I was craving a bahn mi, and they popped up as the most promising option. I ordered the pork sandwich and was not let down. The baguette is a crucial part of any successful bahn mi, and this one was excellent with just the right amount of toasty crunchiness and good flavor. The fillings were well-balanced, and there didn't seem to be too much or too little of anything. The standard cast of carrots, cucumber, daikon, cilantro and jalapeño were present, along with a really tasty chimichurri sauce. I always order a side of extra jalapeños with my bahn mi, and I forgot to do that, but was pleasantly surprised that there were enough to get me by and provide a nice little kick. They also added lettuce, which I found a bit strange and definitely unnecessary. My one complaint with my meal is with the pork. The cubed morsels of meat were quite tasty, but about halfway through I got an unpleasant chunk of fat and had to spit it out. At the end, I got another one :/ Now I don't mind some soft fat on the meat in my sandwiches, but these pieces were PURE fat...not gristly, but still definitely not something I want to eat. Because of how good the sandwich was otherwise, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that this isn't the norm, and will definitely be back again. Although if get more fat chunks on the second sandwich, a third visit will probably be unlikely. read more

Such a solid pho spot!! Loved the food here and will definitely come again! They also had gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options which was great as we had trouble finding a pho place in Seattle that had all 3! Seating is limited inside, so it's better for smaller groups. Service was super friendly as well! read more

Great little neighborhood spot, right in the heart of Fremont! Super friendly staff and a safe indoor dining environment (we were the only two people there). Soups are flavorful and the regular size pho was plenty for us. Sauces were clearly marked as containing soy and/or wheat which is helpful for those with allergies. I added extra veggies to my order as well (broccoli, carrots, cabbage, etc.) Next time we'll add on a boba or some spring rolls! read more
