    Yay! My "completed" punch card.
    Ed B.

    I've been eating at Pho99 for many years. The food and service is very consistent. Happily, it is always the same. The decor and ambience is certainly not luxurious, but rather stark and simple. However, it is always very clean, well organized and the service is friendly and extremely efficient. I appreciate that they have a wide variety of offerings on their menu. I think the pho is some of the most flavorful in town. I've been told they start making their broth the night before. Another nice plus; they offer a "frequent buyer" Punch card. After 9 purchases you get the 10th free. Pho99 is owned and operated by a hardworking family. I enjoy going there. Pho99 is in my inventory of places I patronize regularly.

    You can smell the cinnamon before you even get in the door. The broth is amazing, the beef is fresh and cooks as it should. The veg was fresh crisp. The only problem I'm going to have next time is deciding which noodle dish to eat.

    Craving for some Vietnamese food!
    Trang W.

    Disclaimer: 100% vietnamese born and feed by my vietnamese mom's cooking, so I may be a bit harder on them then the local Bellingham folks here. First Pho 99 is a chain and if you ever live or been in California you will know they are like the "McDonald's" of the Vietnamese "diner." So when I moved up here, I was told there was like 3 vietnamese restaurants in Bham. This is my second one I have tried. Earlier I did check out a mom and pop restaurant called Pho Ly so I am going to base my review off my experience with them. I ordered the #74. Bún Thịt Nớng, Chả Giò ($11.15) Veggie marinated grilled pork slices and fried egg roll. Pros: Veggies included while they were not much were fresh. The marinated grilled pork was good, but nothing to brag to mama about. Con: Missing the pickled carrots that usually comes with the veggie. The vermicelli noodles were not the ones I am use too. Yes (non asian) folks..there are different kind of vermicelli noodles and the ones they used here was not good. In my 45 years, I have never eaten this brand of vermicelli noodles before, and trust me I have eaten a lot of vermicelli noodles in my lifetime. For those that don't like fish sauce, you can skip this part. Yes (non asisan) folks.. not all fish sauce or otherwise know by us Vietnamese peeps "nuoc cham" are the same and don't try to substitute soy sauce for it cause you don't like the smell. Like wine and diamond...color is key!! You can tell when the nuoc cham is "water down" and has no flavor by the color and taste. I took a picture of the fish sauce that the restaurant provided with my entree to what I had at home (mama's recipe) for comparison. Besides the spice factor, you can see the color is way darker then the see thru "fish sauce" they provided. Sauce matters folks..its what brings all the ingredients of the vermicelli bowls together!!! So I ordered the same item at Pho Ly a few weeks earlier and it was a few bucks cheaper and it was way better. Their pork was amazing and their veggies were just as fresh. The nuoc cham sauce was not as good as mine but way better then Pho 99 for sure! I also order a rice plate. Pork chop over rice ($11.15) but have not tried it yet. It's pretty simple dish so can't be completely ruin unless the pork chops and rice is horrible. Over all..Pho 99 "okay" for a taste of vietnamese cruisine but if you want a more vietnamese authentic favor...go to Pho Ly..better yet go read my review and look at my pictures. So sad there's only 3-4 choices for vietnamese cruisine in Bellingham...haven't try Soy House (#3) or Pho Bubble Tea (#4) yet, but stay tune.

    Vermicelli noodles & spring roll
    Aliya T.

    I've come here a couple times. Orders some apps and also had the pho/vermicelli noodles. Both were good but I prefer the noodles. I would say this is a pretty decent food establishment and typically what I would consider good Vietnamese food. There seems to be a lot of seating and this place does get busy during the cold days (most days lol.) The customer service is alright, again, they get busy so they are quickly going between tables and getting orders. Would recommend if you're looking for some pho in town.

    Hot tea, and phô with all the usual items
    David F.

    This is one of the best pho restaurants in NW Washington. They have a very complete phô menu with every additive to include tendon and tripe. The soup came fast, and hot. There are a number other entrees if you are not interested in phô. Very good service. Simple decorations and quiet ambiance. I could eat here every day!

    Very good with various others option This combination X-Large was great
    Jack L.

    Good and various others to choice from This X-Large combination was great Easy parking

    Chicken spring roll
    Simon L.

    We hit up this pho restaurant on the way to Seattle! We asked for their recommendation and they mentioned the beef stew in particular and also the #18 which is the "combo" noodle soup with eye round steak, thin brisket slices, fatty brisket slices, soft tendon and beef tripe. We also got the chicken spring rolls which they recommended of the rolls. Aside from the recommendations, we also got a side order of just bun bo hue broth. I'd say of all the items, the beef stew is the most solid. Lots of meat, fatty brisket pieces and because of that it is on the richer side which I enjoyed. The beef stew is definitely a little sweeter as well compared to most pho broths as well which I didn't mind for a change as it wasn't over bearing. I thought the fatty brisket pieces were verry tender, but because we got to the restaurant right at open, the staff informed us they weren't as tender as they could be as they needed more time. The #18 pho we would say was pretty typical as far as the broth, the beef and the other items in it goes. The chicken spring rolls were good and had a good char flavor, but they are considerably more expensive than the other rolls and I'd probably reconsider getting them for that reason. The bun bo hue broth here... I believe it had shrimp paste in it? I don't think I've ever had shrimp paste in my bun bo hue or perhaps the amount of it in my broth was just too much. Definitely non-traditional and I can't say it works. Overall, I'd come back for the beef soup as it seems to be their specialty and the fatty beef briskets were cooked really well and tender. It's also a nice changeup from the typical pho.

    Seafood egg noodle soup was delicious! Best pho and noodle soups in Bellingham.
    Keenan S.

    The owners and service is amazing. They're nice, funny and make their customers feel welcomed. Pho 99 has the best pho and noodle soups in Bellingham!

We ordered the…read morefresh spring rolls with chili sauce and peanut sauce sides, flank and meatball pho and a Vietnamese iced coffee . I found this " vegetable and tofu" roll the most bland I've had. No herb, sauce , crunch.... I am a fresh roll lover, so a little discerning, but this was truly flavorless. Tofu, rice noodles, leaf lettuce and rice paper. Thats it. Like eating a carrier for too little peanut sauce. The pho was filling and came with a plate of bean sprouts referred to as "the vegetables" . The Vietnamese coffee was tasty but presentation awkward. It came as Condensed milk in a cup with a pour- over atop this and the separate glass of ice. I'm no expert in this ritual but I am accustomed to having the milk cold in the ice and the brewed coffee in a spouted vessel for easy pouring into the iced milk. Here we had to mix the brewed coffee, then add it dribbling and spilling to the ice. No big deal but awkward. It tasted good. The prices were reasonable and parking a lot shared with the strip mall . Not within the restaurant's control , but in circling for a spot around one lane, I was nearly backed into by not 2 not 3 but 4 cars. I think I recall a cannabis shop being in the mall or nearby. This may explain that. The service was friendly throughout. The place was empty but the time was odd. I don't think we'd return based upon the fresh rolls alone.

Surprisingly, the other…read morepho places I had bookmarked are closed on Sundays so we kept looking and came across Saigon Cafe. Staff were friendly and attentive and the menu was new and clean. I ordered #31, thought the broth was a bit bland but perhaps I've just been spoiled by Vancouver (BC) pho spots. It was quite busy the whole time we were there and it's clear they have a dedicated following. Generous with their bean sprout quantity. A random thing to note is their washroom doesn't have a bag/jacket hook so hopefully you have a friend that can hold onto your stuff while you use the gender neutral washroom, or better yet, plan your visit before you leave your table.
