XL Pho
Timothy H.

I found out that this restaurant offered extra large pho and I wanted to found out how it was! It was DEFINITELY a hefty amount of pho & meat. I enjoyed it. The noodles were good, however, a bit overcooked. The rare steak was good and tasty though. Broth was flavorful. The service was good. Server was very nice and the food didn't take long to make. The ambiance is good. Mostly a place to enjoy good Vietnamese food. There's plenty of seating and it's organized!

Pho with raw beef, brisket and fatty brisket.  ( include my sauces.)

This is my first time ever trying Pho Bac Cafe new dish, the bun Bo hue. I would usually order the pho, but I wanted to give this a try. Glad that I did, because it was good! The broth is tasty with a hint of the fermented fish and the pork knuckle was so tender that the meat fell off of it! I think I kind of caught the owner off guard with this order, because she always knew what I wanted when dining here. It's always a pleasure because she's so sweet and always smiling no matter how busy they get. As for the ambiance, Pho Bac Cafe is in a little plaza among other restaurants and businesses. It's just super busy at times and can get a little loud. But that's totally fine, I wouldn't expect anything else from a pho restaurant. But please try their bun Bo hue. If not, they have one of the most yummiest pho in town!

Came here after a hike and it hits the spot! Their soup is warm, flavorful and umami. Price is decent for a bowl of comfort. I got their #8 pho and it was a mix of brisket, tendon, tripe etc and it was great! They also have bottles of sriracha and hoisin sauce for you to customize your soup/dip.

Phở Đặc Biệt

They really give you portions as to the size bowl you choose. I got a small combo pho and there wasn't much meat in it. Don't get me wrong, it was a perfect portion because I got full but there are other pho places that will load up your bowl even if it's a small. The broth was good but not amazing. The staff is attentive and quick to take your order. The food came out fast.

This is a solid spot in Renton for Vietnamese food. Today, we ordered pork vermicelli noodles and pho dac biet. The pho was delicious! I could drink the pho broth all day every day! Also, it had a good meat to noodle to broth proportion! The pork vermicelli noodle dish was delicious but it didn't have enough noodles so it was a bit of a struggle to get meat and noodles and veggies in one bite. All in all, this is a good spot and I'd love to come back, especially for the pho! Oh and don't forget the Vietnamese coffee! It's strong and just sweet enough! Also, it didn't feel like it was just ice either a sip of coffee. Service is good; fast and friendly enough. The space is clean and organized.

Beef short rib plate
Raine M.

Stopped by this spot for the first time, and it will definitely be my last. The place was pretty dead, which was surprising. It was clean, but the inside felt too dark and uninviting. I ordered the pho with beef, and that was the only good part--the meat was tender, and the broth had a nice flavor. Unfortunately, everything else was a letdown. The fried egg roll was completely bland, and even the dipping sauce couldn't help. The short rib was just as bad--chewy and tasteless. Service was just okay, nothing special. If you're only here for pho, it's fine, but everything else? Not worth it.

Meatball pho with shrimp and pork spring rolls.
Kiana I.

The door was knocked off in the front of the building and I wasn't too sure about this place until I walked in and ate there. Food came out within 5 min. Food was fresh & filled me up quickly. I didn't get to finish or taste the spring rolls but they were skinny and looked appealing. The water was tap with ice. Overall my total was $25 with tip. The service was ok at first but you have to go up to the cashier to pay instead of them coming to you. The ambiance in there was nice, they have two separate bathrooms for different genders.

Pho was just average, spring roll was skinny and meat is dry, they serve little food portions compared to other pho places. Service was friendly, that's the plus side!

Brisket & Beef Pho
Selena S.

Ordered the well done beef & brisket pho and spring rolls which was good. 4 stars because I thought it was weird how we were not given any water. I guess you have to ask for water if you want it lol

shrimp and noodles in a styrofoam container

Ordered to go at this place because I wanted to try a new spot instead of my go to. It was easy ordering through the phone and the food was ready to go in 10 minutes. I ordered the grilled shrimp vermicelli ($12) and when I got home to open it, I was shocked. I don't know what I was expecting but I know I was expecting more...? It looked very plain for the price, I was hoping there would at least be some crushed peanuts or fried onion on there. Probably the last time I'd order this from here, but maybe next time I'd try their pho.

Pho noodles with well cooked beef. Delicious for this cold weather in Seattle.

Rapid service. Delicious food Pho noodles with beef . Well served large portion, warm and spicy after I added condiments .Very peaceful atmosphere.

The foods are not as good as before and they put less than what it used to be. The taste of foods were really off and tasteless.

Ask the Community - Pho Bac Cafe

Is this restaurant permanently closed? If not, when will you reopen?

They are open for delivery on grubhub and postmates. I'm not too sure if they are open to public or open for takeout.

Are they really serving them beef ribs there now?

Yes, they are! It's not on the menu, so you just need to ask for it.

At exactly 6:40 PM, received the delivery order at my residence. Food was still warm and portions were more than adequate. Checking out on the DoorDash App was simple and very easy to place the order from this restaurant. I have ordered a few times before as well and had no problems whatsoever. All of the entrees were delicious!

Solid 3.5/5. Food…read more(2.5-4/5). We had 4 grilled pork vermicelli with egg rolls, 1 pho tai with beef meatballs, and 1 spring rolls. Vermicelli was a 3.5 as it was fresh and a good serving (4) but the grilled pork was on the cooler side and didn't taste as crisp and fresh off the grill as you'd expect (3). Best part of the pho was the broth as it wasn't too salty like it can be sometimes elsewhere (4). Veggies were super fresh. Sliced beef was previously sliced and the whole chunk was placed in so you had to tease apart the slices from each other which was a little different than my experiences elsewhere. SKIP THE SPRING ROLLS. Picture had three shrimps/roll. Ours had 1/roll on one side with a slice of pork (I think) on the other. Seemed pretty skimpy if you ask me (2.5 at best). Service was good (4). Location was in a small strip mall with a Mexican and Indian place next door. The bars over nearly the entire front storefront were definitely interesting. For an out-of-towner, this part of Kent seems like a Santa Ana/Westminister/Garden Grove of OC, CA kind of an area with different ethnic offerings up and down the street.

Another Mom & Pop establishment!…read more Love the family vibe of this Pho restaurant and the Boss is super friendly even though he is all by himself at the front! We went for the House Special and their Ultimate Oxtail and Rib Pho ... both were substantial, without knowing their size of Pho we went ahead and ordered our regular Salad Rolls! The amount of food was amazing! Broth was served super hot ( which is a must for Pho ) and also very flavourful! The surprise was their super tender Oxtail and Ribs, meat were so tender they felt like marshmallow! A very satisfying meal indeed!!

Great pho and amazing family business. They were short staffed, but still delivered an accurate and…read moredelicious meal that satisfied even our pickiest eater. We came off a flight at Sea-Tac hoping to find something to satisfy everyone before the long drive home: The eye round and flank beef pho definitely hit the mark. Broth was more simple than some phos I've had before, but it had a very satisfying and fresh flavor and the beef quality was good. My husband ordered the mixed beef, and not having had tripe before wasn't a fan, but still enjoyed the other meats in the dish and overall flavor. Egg rolls were excellent and the fried rice was a favorite for my 10 year old. My 12 year old sampled and loved every dish equally. The owner was exceptional and waited on us like a one-man show he was warm and friendly us and our kids. The wait wasn't long, but he surprised our kids with chocolate after dinner for waiting patiently and smiled and joked with everyone in the restaurant and he moved around the restaurant. The restaurant itself isn't anything too exception in terms of looks or presentation, but the food and family feeling to it has definitely earned the respect of locals getting take out. We'll add it to the list of great places to stop.

First off this was my second time here so keep that in mind…read more Second I want to say the service was decent. She was very attentive and the portions were big. My issue was the sanitary aspect or shall I say the lack there of. I mean it's one thing to see a couple hairs on the floor ya know but wow the amount of hair and debris in the floor looked like they hadn't cleaned in weeks. There was a a whole clump of hair under our table and hair hanging from the chairs. I dropped my daughter's blanket on the floor and my husband picked it up and he it had a pubic hair on it. The tables were not wiped off and the bathroom was a disaster zone. I mean if this is what they think their customers should deal with can you imagine what the kitchen looks like. The food was ok but I'm gonna be honest it's not something I would pay for again when there are other options that at least care enough about their customers that they actually keep the place clean and sanitize. I won't come back but if you don't mind eating in those conditions then it's your choice.
