By far one my favorite restaurants on this planet. I've been here so much, that I've tried most of their menu and it's always been fantastic. I honestly don't think I've ever been disappointed by anything I've had. The stand out thing about this place, the lychee water. It's sweet, refreshing and I actually fell down the lychee rabbit hole so much so that I'm looking into buying a lychee tree to keep in my home. The owners and everyone who works there is so sweet, and I will always support a family ran business. Especially one with the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. read more

I eat here often. The service isn't top tier, but they aren't outright rude either. Just quick and very little conversation, which I'm pretty sure is mostly a language issue. Their food, however, is pretty damn good. At least what I tried personally. The lemon grass chicken over vermicelli is great. I also like the egg noodle soup with chicken. The deep-fried egg rolls are fantastic. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for some time now and was looking forward to it because of the 4 star review it has on Yelp. However, I was mildly disappointed. There's very little parking up front. Apparently more parking in the back. The Interior of the restaurant is pretty dated. We were randomly given the spring rolls even though we didn't order. We ordered the bun Bo Huế án bún thịt nướng. The bún bò Huế was pretty good. And the bún thịt nướng was a bit salty but still good. read more

Some of the best Pho ga in town. Parking can be a pain but that because the lot is small and it's popular. It never disappoints. It one of my top picks on a rainy Shoreline day! read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

This is one of the best Pho noodle places in the Seattle area-especially the bun bo hue dish!

The food was delicious and definitely authentic! We absolutely loved the the refreshing lychee water. Of course we cannot go without the famous milk black tea aka: "cha ye" or "thai tea". The food was hot, fresh, perfectly spiced and full of flavor. We will be making our comeback but, this time our whole family. Thank you for your hospitality! read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - Lychee water and iced Thai Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Grilled chicken on rice plate, lemongrass chicken vermicelli, spring rolls, and egg rolls are some of our favorites. We typically take it to go but I've read that if you eat in they give you lychee water. read more

Hands down some of the best Vietnamese food you can find the PNW. The Pho is incredible, that broth is addicting. I also had their short ribs and teriyaki chicken, honestly I could eat here everyday for the rest of my life. The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. Seattle don't sleep on this place it's a true 5 star! read more

It's hard to really assess this place to me but I just decided to give it 5 stars. Here's the reason why it's challenging: their noodle soup dishes are amazing but for sure not authentic as they tend to put spare ribs in almost all of them, something that isn't done in my country. My favorite dish here is Banh Canh Cua (Crab tapioca noodle soup). Their crab is really fresh here and the soup has the right amount of thickness. Their Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu are good too. I've never tried any rice dish so no comments Also, it can be trivial but they will give you a glass of lychee juice (with real lychee inside) for free every time. Well I know it's from a can but hey, why passing down on good stuffs right? read more

It was getting pretty late, and no one felt like cooking, and we are new the area so we decided to hit this place up! Even though it pretty late, they still had our food out very quickly! I got the pho with some well-done steak, and I actually waited a few hours before eating it and just warmed it up at home, but it was still so delicious! I loved the arrangement of basil and sprouts because they were still super fresh, and of course elevated the pho. I mean, everything was pretty fresh. That broth though was probably the star of the whole dish! Most pho places have a slight sweetness to their broth which I'm not a big fan of, but here the broth was very tasty and savory! I would say that it was a pretty luscious broth! Plus with the addition of the silky and soft rice noodles, and savory and super tender and thinly cut steak! It was all too good, and every ingredient worked in harmony. This place was very solid, and pretty authentic. Maybe I'll warm up to the area more if all the restaurants are as solid as this place. Definetly a perfect late night meal! read more

So happy we found this place! Quiet little spot with super kind owners, and the food was delicious. We got the iced coffee w condensed milk, spring rolls (#1) and two combo phos. Appreciated the amount of meat and noodles in the broth, and you can tell the coffee was made fresh and with lots of care. Can't wait to make this our regular spot. read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - Pho combo (#12) - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

I agree with some previous reviewers that while the food is good, double checking the price of your takeout is something you want to do here. I was charged a lot more than the listed menu price on my salad and pho which is shady and short sided to do to your customers. I give the food 4 stars. My shrimp and pork salad was very flavorful. Take out pho was for the most part, solid. Parking is very tight. Directly in front of the establishment with limited spots. Inside, the restaurant is very small, stuffy and cramped. Would not come here again due to lack of ethics going on here. read more

As good as the pho was you will be charged more than the menu price. I got a small veggie pho and walked out paying $19. Didn't get anything else. Not worth it. I'm pretty sure they charge $2+ for using a card vs. cash and also round up to make it an even number. Gee thanks. There's other pho places in the area that are also good and won't scam you...go there instead. read more

The place looks sketchy passing by but the food pictures look good so I decided to give it a try. I was pretty excited for the lychee drink. I thought it was a mistake. But I guess they included in the prices. Bun bo hue was pretty good and big portion. I will totally order it again. I ordered xa xiu noodle soup but they brought out the xa xiu stir fried noodle. But I was ok to try it out, unfortunately It was not good. Prices are on high side. Service was friendly and fast read more

Small, family owned, hole in the wall restaurant. I've never had an issue with cleanliness or food quality. Everything from the specials on the wall to the regular menu is fantastic. The flavors are always spot on, never too salty or under seasoned. If pho is your goal, you will not be disappointed. If you are feeling more adventurous try the bun bo hue or the crab noodle soup. If you want something other than soup try the banh xeo and wrap it with lots of the fresh veggies. Don't skimp on the spring rolls or egg rolls, they are a perfect appetizer if you're sharing or great even as a snack. The lychee water is always refreshing, but doesn't come with free refills. The soup portions are generous and the noodle to broth ratio is just right. read more

BEWARE OF PRICE SCAM! I didn't realize this place is a price scam as the reviews say and it also happened to me. I knew the price was off and I repeated to him twice what I ordered and he still overcharged me. When I got home I recalculated everything from the menu and saw the overcharge. I had already been there an hour and a half and wanted to get the heck out and go on with my day so I gave up in trying to explain to him what I ordered and the price was off. The owner doesn't give you an itemized bill so you are stuck with what he tells you. It took an hour to get a small pho, teriyaki chicken and spring rolls. He doesn't wipe your table after clearing it but there's wipes on the table. Don't bother coming here unless you want to wait forever, get overcharged, and deal with an overcrowded parking lot that's impossible to get out of. read more

BE AWARE OF PRICE SCAM!!! (just like a lot of other customers have written about) So I moved from GA n looked for a good pho place, and this place had good reviews but many said they overcharge... And sure enough... they overcharged. He gave me a slip of paper with a price and I didn't agree with him so asked him to write the price of each item we had ordered but he would not so then I wrote the prices myself from what was on the menu on the walls and asked if this is correct and he said yes. Then I said with the total price with tax it should have been about $11 less than what he wrote, so then we had to void the first incorrect CC transaction and redo it with the correct price... We thought this could be our new pho place but if we have to do the proper math for our food everytime, this is a scam, so this will be the first and last time coming here... and FYI, the food is decent at best, it's just that the other pho places in WA had been horrible so yeah, food is just OK. read more

First time here and luckily found 2 parking spots left out of like 8? The place is small and homey. We got surprised with lychee water my favorite. Noticed there was 10% off if paid by cash. We ordered and food came out about 15 minutes later, one dish wAs forgotten. The food was good especially the nuoc mam. The portion sizes are big. The place is about 1$ more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - #41 a vermicelli bowl with prawn and pork skewers and an egg roll... - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Came here with a group of 5 and were quickly seated around 11:30am on a Saturday. The service was not bad and we received our food pretty quick. I did notice that we were the only table given iced water instead of the lychee water that everyone raves about which was pretty disappointing. On to the food. I ordered the crab banh canh off the house specials menu and while it was not bad, it wasn't the best I've ever had either. The broth was thick which is normal and pretty flavorful but a little bit sweeter than I would have liked. Had to add some lime and chili paste to get it to my flavor liking. The portion size was about average (also came with 2 chinese donuts), but the price was a little too steep for my liking (~$14 a bowl) which I think is a little excessive. Also ordered a vietnamese iced coffee which was average, a little bit more on the bitter side. My friend asked for a to-go container and they gave her a dirty one (??), she told them and they gave her a new one. Probably would venture to other spots before coming back here, if I ever do. OH and they charge $0.75 for paying with a card. read more

Ehhhh, it's ok. The staff was fine, the food ok, but parking sucks and there's def a bit of grime in the corners and on the windows. I didn't get sick, the portions and price were proportionate, but I think I was just disappointed that I went out of my way to eat there and a lot of the special dishes were no longer on the menu. I mean, they were still on the menu, but they were no longer making them. I get that some things are too time consuming or not ordered enough, but I was just so excited to get some banh xeo, and then my heart was broken. As the old Viet saying goes though, "Better to have banh xeo'd and lost than to never have banh xeo'd at all". read more

Food is excellent, my brother and I tried based on an IG referral. They are located on 99 in Shoreline. I decided to order online for pick up recently, food is still excellent, however, I highly recommend fixing the prices on the website. Very misleading. read more

such delicious and authentic Vietnamese food!!! we ordered pho and bun bo hue to go and the portions were huge, highly recommend. Their bun bo hue broth is so flavorful read more

Large, diverse menu that hits a lot more than just pho and vermicelli. I opted for the pho dac biet, broth was pretty good and my only superficial complaint was no tripe. Fried spring rolls were super delicious. My dad got the lemongrass beef and I thought it was good, but not great. The bun bo bue looks to die for though, that will certainly be my next order. read more

I have been searching for the best banh canh in Seattle for so long and I have finally found it. The soup is meant to be thick and this one for sure is that. The noodles had the right texture and they actually give you real crab pieces. This banh canh reminds me of the one I had in Vietnam. I didn't get to try anything else unfortunately but honestly, I would come back and order just the banh canh again. It was extremely filling and it came with a side of Chinese doughnut. I've never tried Chinese doughnut and banh canh but it works!!! I'm craving this as I speak. read more

Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese - Banh canh - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

First of all, this is the most expensive pho restaurant I have ever been to. My colleague and I were originally going to pho Than but they ended up being closed for the holidays so we searched for another near by spot. Saw that the reviews for this place wasn't bad so we came here. I opened the menu and my jaw probably dropped to the floor. If I remember correctly, it was like 9 bucks for small and 10 something for the large pho. I mean.....on aurora I can find a small size bowl of pho for like 6.50. No, they sizes are not bigger than usual. I ordered the banh canh and it was almost 13 bucks. The banh canh was good, but not great. Nothing tasted extra special to me so I won't come back here anymore. I also wasn't a fan of the lychee and syrup they put in their water (sweet water is weird). read more

We went for a three day Pho crawl around the Seattle and surrounding areas. This is THE best so far (we have taken in four places..). The broth is just superb... deeply savory, clear broth and perfectly seasoned with spices and bone broth. Loads of meat and the noodles is just perfectly chewy and held well after 20 minutes. The lady who served us was so kind and friendly. We also ordered their beef rib special and OMG... Load of wonderfully cooked and they even cut the meat of the bones for you (but left a few for presentation). We LOVE it! read more

This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in all of Seattle. It is truly authentic, and the best dishes here are the ones that aren't just "Pho"! Pros (The Food) - Egg Roll & Pork Skewer Vermicelli: Unlike many other Vietnamese restaurants, the meat in this bowl is SO succulent and SO juicy. It stands out so much! The Egg Roll is also fried fresh and very hot and crispy when served. Not to mention, there is a really good ratio of veggies to noodles for a healthily balanced meal. - Crab Noodle Soup: One of the only places I've seen in Seattle that serves this dish! It's super flavorful and very comforting and it's what keeps us coming back time after time again! We love the thicker clear chewy noodles that are used only in this particular noodle soup. The fried dough sticks should be eaten first thing dipped in the super hot broth! - Lychee Water (need I say more?) Cons: - They charge a flat $0.75 fee for all credit card transactions - Service can be really really slow sometimes (but it's always worth the wait) read more

The location isn't the best just because it's off of 99 and the parking lot is pretty small at the strip mall. I would have to say the food was pretty good. I got the Vermicelli combo bowl: pork skewer, shrimp and egg roll & the Rice dish combo: short ribs, pork chop & shrimp. I didn't get the chance to sit down and eat in, but they have a lot of seating inside. I would say they are pretty generous with their portions. read more

After hearing much hype about this place, I was pretty excited to check it out. Came here with my mom and overall, it was an ok experience. This place isn't too bad since it's your average pho restaurant but man.......lychee water here = 100%+ delicious. Here's my takeaway from the restaurant: -Service: For some odd reason, it took nearly an hour to get our food orders. After observing of what seems to be the "regulars", these people got their food pipin' hot after getting seated 20+min after my mom and I got seated. Even if service is lacking, it shouldn't take an hour to get food for a semi-empty restaurant during non-peak hours -Menu: Nice variety of Viet food + Teriyaki options -Prices: Watch out for hidden fees (that is posted near the cashier which can be hard to see) when it comes to ordering something with seafood like crab. Otherwise, place does seem a wee bit pricier -Drinks: Lychee water is all you need. It's refreshing, free, and yummy. -Must try: Eggrolls here = delicioussssssss! Combined with the savory fish sauce and boom Done deal :) -So so food: Ordered the garlic fish & rice, spicy pho w/ seafood, and 2 to-go orders of regular pho to go. Overall, food was meh. The spicy pho had a tonnnnn of seafood items but lacked any real spicy texture or taste. As for the garlic fish, I really like the flavors but you could hardly taste any fish. Finally, the pho to go was quite disappointing. The broth barely filled 2/3 of the container + there was very little meat or side veggies that went with the order. -Parking: There's a lot in front and in the back of the restaurant Perhaps I ordered the wrong things at the wrong time.....but if you must make a visit here, I recommend eating in vs ordering for take out in case you get similar results like I did. read more

The Pros outweigh the Cons. The food is authentic and delicious. Perfect for when you're feeling under the weather. The service is fine. However, the location (no parking) and the dinning experience (no ambiance) are lacking. Perfect for take out if you don't mind navigating the tight parking. read more

Good little spot for pho and other Vietnamese dishes. Parking is tight but great spot to pop in for a quick bite to feed that pho itch. Yes I said itch because once you learn about Pho you'll Pho-ever want some once in a while. If you're stopping by Costco in shoreline and want to grab a quick bite this is a nice option to have. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think about it. read more

Worth the terrible parking. Pull off of 99 and park out back. Super flavorful broth. Very good fresh rolls.

Where do I start? Love love love their spicy chicken teriyaki! Also they have really delish lychee water. You get one free lychee water per person. Probably high in calories & sugar, but worth it if you indulge just once in a while. Good portion size, especially if you get the spring rolls (they are quite large). It's 10% off if you pay in cash & there is a small fee ($.075 I think) if you pay with a credit card. Oh and you pay up at the cash register, not at your table. They do have a small parking lot which is great, and it's right off Aurora near the transit center and Costco. Small cozy restaurant with great food! This is definitely my favorite Vietnamese restaurant and I've been to Vietnam. read more

This place is a hidden gem in this city; one of the best authentic Vietnamese food I ever had in a while. It seems like the owner is an old lady who does not speak English very well but in terms of taste and authenticity of their food -- I was extremely satisfied.

Vegetables tasted rotten, and the pork on the skewer was raw in the middle. Won't be ordering here again.

When I grew up in Boston there was a place called viets cafe and it had this amazing Vietnamese rice, but whenever I order fried rice anywhere it's like yellow (still delicious) kinda of Thai version. Took a chance on getting here and it was exactly what I was looking for! Also got their vermicelli bowl last time, super good as well.

Very friendly and helpful staff. My granddaughters love pho and we're always looking for a delicious and kid-friendly place. The girls said on a scale of 1-10, this pho was 15-20.

Well will be back. read more
