    Solid pho place but nothing too crazy. I would still come by again if I'm in the area but doubt I would go out of my way. Still an enjoyable pho and I do want to try it again

    Outstanding Pho!! Wonderful broth with well balanced spice and beef flavours!! Pho noodle is still al dente and with plenty of good quality beef! Friendly family business that is very busy with local crowds! Plenty of fee parking at the mall this restaurant is located!!

    Let's be honest, let's be Pho real..this spot is the real deal! (Ok, that just popped up in my head ha) In all seriousness, this spot will be the to-go Pho spot for me so far. Immediately, you're greeted with kindness and you feel welcomed here. I ordered the beef brisket noodles and there was no question to not get the large version for just $1 more ($14 total). Portions are hefty; the broth is rich, meat is fresh and the noodles had just the right amount of bounciness. What a perfect spot for a beautiful, warm bowl of noodles. We'll definitely be back..SOON!

    Busy night. The spouse always gets the pho. I vary and try out different things. Tried some tofu, noodles, and cold salad this time. It was delicious; however, took quite a while to come out of the kitchen - the spouse was already finished with his pho by the time I got my meal! Understandably, there are two different preparation process involved. Not sure what the solution is - except maybe wait to deliver the pho if the other entree is going to be significantly behind. Awkward! That said, always a great spot with friendly faces. And always good food.

    My bf is Vietnamese so I get to eat a lot of Vietnamese food. Also, I just love Vietnamese and Asian food in general - pho, rice dishes, spring rolls, etc. First of all, this place is the best in terms of value. Everything is reasonably priced! We can order 4 things and not feel like we just spent too much. Second, every single dish we have ever ordered has been delicious! You want a rice dish? They have it and it's good. Chicken wings? Bomb! Noodle salads? Super flavorful yet very light and healthy. Spring rolls? So good! Lastly, along with flavor, this place just delivers high quality food consistently. We live about 15 minutes away and we've been here sooooo many times and it is good every single time! The service is also really good. They're all very friendly and attentive.

    Next to a Walmart, there's plenty of free parking. The staff are friendly enough and no major issues with the service. Setting is very casual and geared to get the food out. The food however, needs work. My gas Xao Xa ot (chicken lemongrass stir fry) was tough and the flavors were bland. My wife's com suon Bo nuong (grilled short ribs) was very disappointing; the meat was too tough and my wife couldn't eat it. The spring rolls were ok.

    A solid place to get pho near Renton. Piping hot and flavorful broth, generous servings of protein, and food prepped at amazing speeds. What's not to like? Service was of the speed I would expect at a pho restaurant, extremely quick! From sitting down to receiving food, the process took probably 5 minutes. Seating is tight and cozy but turnover is quick so don't fret if it's too busy An interesting note is that my assumption is they soak their noodles vs boiling them directly. This gives more separation from each individual noodle as starch is rinsed which I prefer over the clumpy, starchy mass that is typical. A pro for me, but something to keep in mind for those that have a preference for one way or another. Definitely a recommend if you're around Southcenter and craving pho!

    Passion fruit Bubble tea. Yum!

    During the pandemic when there's currently no dine- in option, this is well worth pick up or delivery! It was a cold day with 100% precip. and my thought was Pho. So I Yelped this place and decided to do a pick up. The menu was easily accessible and the staff welcoming. A variety of options at a reasonable price. I was drenched just to walk in and order but determined! I had the chicken noodle Pho, shrimp spring roll and a Passion fruit bubble tea. Took it home & enjoyed it immensely!! Warmed me right up on a cold day! I definitely will be back to try more! As you have to add all the ingredients together in the Pho, I was concerned that an important ingredient would be forgotten when I got back. But they did a great job & didn't miss a thing!! Well done!

    I've been hearing a lot about Anchovies and Salt, glad I finally made it out!

Park in the garage and then validate your parking; it looks pricey but it's completely free if you validate it. I love the attention to detail on the menu. It's split by region, which is cool - I am not familiar with Vietnamese regional cuisines, so scrolling through the menu is a learning experience for me. - Northern crab rolls: 2/5, felt a bit heavy for an app - Beef skewers: 5/5, really nice sauce - Golden pho pillows: 4/5, interesting concept and I liked the pillows - Water fern cakes: 4/5, another interesting concept - Hanoi pork vermicelli: 3/5, generally good but didn't feel special - Fish sauce caramel coffee: 5/5, I quite enjoyed this Overall, the food was good. I wasn't impressed with the service, though. We ordered 3 starters, a small dish, and a main dish. All our food came out around the same time, randomly... which led to our food getting cold because we couldn't eat fast enough. I was disappointed that they didn't think through the serving order. I was also served the wrong drink; of course they corrected that. And finally, perhaps because we sat in the back, it was really hard to get our server's attention at the end! I'd definitely come back despite that. The food was good and it's such a pretty location.

    I actually came here when they first opened, and unfortunately it wasn't good at all. To be fair, I…read moreknow new restaurants often have some hiccups in the beginning, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed things would improve over time. Recently, I kept hearing from people that it had gotten a lot better, which is why I decided to bring my mom here for Mother's Day since she loves Vietnamese food. Overall, I would still describe this visit as pretty mediocre. It was not terrible, but it was definitely not worth the price point in my opinion, especially after spending over $400. There were a few dishes I genuinely enjoyed. What we ordered: Liked / okay: * Pho-spiced ribs: tender and flavorful, but expensive for what it is * Lemongrass pork belly: the standout dish. Crispy, juicy, and very flavorful * Shaking wagyu salad: the beef was tender, but it needed more salt. It could benefit from some more oyster sauce or fish sauce * Water spinach with garlic: Good * Southern pork egg rolls: Crispy and enjoyable, but the dipping sauce tasted watered down and lacked flavor Didn't really enjoy: * Clay pot fish: overly sweet and quite fatty. The fish itself was tender * King salmon sour soup: also very sweet. It needed more acidity and sourness, like tamarind * Villagers pork belly: the only noticeably salty dish. It had a strong porky fermented flavor that was good, but it really needs rice and fresh vegetables like cucumber to balance it * Lemongrass clams: fairly plain. The dipping sauce was the same watered-down sauce as the egg rolls * Calamansi margarita: extremely sour and overpowering * Spiked coconut with rum: it was warm, which made it less enjoyable Overall, most dishes leaned too sweet for my taste. Southeast Asian food is usually a balance of sweet, spicy, salty, and sour. Here, the sweetness often overpowered everything else. There were also quite a few items sold out when we arrived around 5 PM. I was not sure if they had been sold out for a while or just for the evening. As for service, ordering is done through an iPad. The first one to two rounds of food came out quickly. However, anything we ordered afterward, like extra rice or additional sides, either took a very long time or never came at all. We also tried using the call function on the iPad, but no one came over. I am not sure if they were short staffed or if the system was not being monitored. The restaurant itself was not busy at the time. Since many of the entrées are meant to be eaten with rice, this disrupted the flow of the meal quite a bit. At one point, we just ate everything without rice because we were hungry and did not want to keep waiting. That said, the staff we did interact with were very kind. Overall, I do not think I would come back for a full dinner again. I might stop in just for happy hour drinks and a few small bites since they have a nice water view!

The last place I went to had clouds of fruit flies, the floor was sticky and the table looked like a science experiment (the Pho was good though, but ewww). But this isn't about Pho places in Covington. This is about Happy Autumn in Renton. I needed to be in Renton along 4th Ave and since I don't get to eat good Pho much anymore, I saw that Happy Autumn was along the route I'd be driving. My first impression. The food handling rating is EXCELLENT and the restaurant looked clean. The staff was delightful, professional, full of smiles, and had my order ready for pick-up right on time. I got the grilled chicken Pho to go, which is risky because 'to-go' meals can be skimped on since people don't tend to complain on meals to go from their house. I was NOT disappointed. They piled up all the goodies. Extra Sriracha, jalapenos, cilantro and basil. Lots of chicken and noodles and just a touch of sprouts (they are my least favorite Pho item). The broth was fragrant, flavorful and by the time I got home 45 minutes later, still hot. I put it all together and enjoyed some of the best Pho I've ever eaten locally. HIGHLY recommend.

Staff was nice, attentive and the tables and restaurant seemed very clean. We ordered pho, chicken summer rolls and a grilled chicken rice plate. The broth didn't have a lot of depth. It was fine but not enough to warrant a return. The grilled chicken was not exactly grilled. It tasted more like boiled chicken in a sauce and it was very sweet. I will keep looking for other pho restaurants to try. We have visited I Love Pho and Square Lotus in the Factoria area for probably 2 decades so need a change sometimes.

We ordered the wonton soup with ramen noodles, which was quite good and comforting. The shrimp fresh rolls were also good, fresh, and flavorful, though they definitely could have used a lot more peanut sauce--having more would have made them much better. One downside that's hard to ignore was the cleanliness. The floor was extremely dirty, and it appeared that when tables were being cleared, food was simply swept onto the floor. The edges around the tables, walls, and planters were also very dusty and dirty. It honestly made us wonder what "extras" might be making their way into the food.

Luckily I saw Pho T & L was open and I've had this place saved for a while so this was the best timing to try them out. We arrived and it was pretty busy and we weren't sure if we seated ourselves or someone else seats us as it took a few minutes for us to get noticed. After a little of standing awkwardly near the entrance, someone noticed us and motioned us to sit near the check out area which you do need to go up and pay rather than wait for someone to drop off a check. We were given waters and menus and given a decent amount of time to decide what we wanted. My friends got a lemonade with tea, Thai tea, shaking beef and combo vermicelli while my boyfriend got the shaking beef and egg rolls and I got the Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls. My boyfriend got his egg rolls and I didn't get my spring rolls until after everyone's' order came in so I have a feeling that the employee who took our order forgot or the kitchen forgot. There was no apology or anything for it either. I got my food first, after several minutes the shaking beef came out and after another a while my friend got his vermicelli bowl. Luckily we weren't pressed for time but it made it awkward as we didn't get our food at the same time and it took a bit to get them. I am a slow eater so I guess it worked out that I got mine first but I also didn't receive my spring rolls until I brought it up once we received everything else. The food was phenomenal and our friends said their drinks were perfect too. I did enjoy my Bun Bo Hue, though I did make it a bit more spicier with their chili oil. They have plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate all party sizes. They do have a bathroom but you have to go through a long, scary hallway to get to it. The tables have probably the cutest container for their chili oil but I appreciate that they have napkins, sriracha, hoisin, and utensils on the table. The employees don't really check in often and they didn't really come by to fill our waters until we were down with our meal. The service was also pretty much non-existent, it wasn't rude but just felt rushed and cold.
