    Pho Bo
    Ashley L.

    Pho Bac is a no-frills spot serving some of the best pho in the city. Prices are still fairly reasonable, though I have noticed them slowly creeping up over time, which is understandable these days. One tip is that paying with cash can save you about one to two dollars. Portions are generous and the food is always well balanced and fresh. I usually go for the pho bò with brisket and tendon, which never disappoints. The only downside is the parking situation. The lot is a bit unstructured, so there's a chance your car could get boxed in, and there doesn't seem to be a clear system to manage that.

    Pho Bac Súp Shop is a great place for a bowl of pho. Service is fast and efficient, and the restaurant is quite spacious. There are plenty of tables and we were seated as soon as we arrived. The food came out quickly. I had​ the Beef Pho and it was delicious. Solid choice for pho in Seattle C-ID.​

    Pho fries
    Danielle L.

    Ordered the pho fries and pho tron with pork belly The fries were not good, dry and didn't have much flavor, I wouldn't recommended ordering. I think some work could be done to make the fries better, as it's a good idea. But the pho tron was good for someone who likes dry noodles. Good flavor and pork belly was flavorful. It wasn't too busy around 6pm on a weekday night, but parking is always a headache since they share a small lot with The Boat.

    Rib pho - yum!
    Aliza C.

    Pho Bac Sup Shop in Seattle's Little Saigon was our first visit and it definitely made an impression. A quick heads-up: parking is limited, and be cautious of the homelessness in the surrounding area. Once inside though, the experience is a total contrast. The space is very hipster-forward, both in décor and concept--you can get your pho fix with a cocktail, and there's even a giant tree in the middle of the dining room. Such a cool, unexpected vibe. We ordered the rib pho, which was a must. The broth, oh my... the broth was hearty, deeply beefy, and so good we drank every last drop. We also tried the pho trộn (dry turmeric noodles) out of curiosity. I worried the turmeric might taste medicinal, but it was the opposite--well balanced, flavorful, and hitting all the flavor buds. Portions are very generous; honestly, one order of either dish could easily be shared. If we had more stomach space, we absolutely would've tried their bún bò Huế--next time for sure. Overall, this is a great spot for pho: good food, friendly service, and dishes come out quickly. You pay your bill at the bar, which makes it easy to be in and out. Cool atmosphere and worth the visit.

    I was craving pho with short ribs so I wanted to give this place a try again! Previously, my experience wasn't great, however, I very much enjoyed my dish this time! The short rib was very tender and easy to eat this time and the meat came off the ribs easily! It was delicious and full of flavor. The pho and broth was good as well and of course I had to have it with Chinese donuts which tasted great together. The service was good. The food was made in a timely manner and our requests were made. The ambiance is nice. Decorations are enjoyable and there's plenty of seating.

    Pho dat biec
    Selena L.

    This is me and my boyfriend's go to spot for pho. Service is fast, it's usually consistent, but the parking situation is a nightmare. We always each get a large pho dac biec because we like taking a little home, even though most people don't like leftover pho. I've gotten the bun bo hue for takeout before, I would skip the bun bo hue and opt for the pho at this place. I also recommend this location over the SLU/downtown one because you can choose between two sizes whereas the SLU location is one size only. There's also a difference in pricing on the menu, cheaper if you pay in cash. We haven't came in here in a few months but this time around, we noticed that something about the broth tasted different, and not in a good way. I thought it was oiler than normal but my boyfriend thought it was something else, though he couldn't pinpoint what exactly tasted different. Hopefully the next time we come back, it'll taste like it did before.

    I love the broth here. Some say it's a little salty but I think it's well seasoned. The pho doesn't really need anything else. However, if you like it spicy they have chili oil sauce you can put in which I tried (spoiler it was great). Pho 5/5 I would definitely come here again. I also loved that the broth was HOT when it came out. Too many other pho places are serving their broth lukewarm which is gross. Fries with lemongrass 3/5 I wouldn't get this again. It's just generic fries with a cilantro lime-like aioli Chicken wings 5/5 great sauce, sweet and tangy with the fish sauce Service was good and the restaurant has a cool "streets of Vietnam" vibe.

    Pretty mid pho. But I'm from LÁ and we have WAY better pho here. We came here bc this is a local institution! One thing that was EXCELLENT was the drink tho!!!

    Our go to pho stop in Sea-Town is Pho Bac Sup Shop! You can't go wrong with any of their pho soups and it's a matter of choice what to include as the umami broth comes out piping hot. One of our faves is the rib pho that comes with multiple beefy ribs and my top choice is the pho tron with pork belly that has the turmeric noodles and a side of broth to dip or simply drench it in the bowl and mix well. Sure wish they'd bring back the smoked brisket beef slices. The service is good and there's ample seating. The ambiance is lively and no need to whisper here. Just writing this makes me want to head back!

    The portion size of the pho noodle soup was pretty generous, it was only a $1 more for the large size. However, it was lacking flavor. I wish I liked it more because of all the good reviews I saw. The dry pho was more enjoyable than the pho noodle soup. It had more flavor which was surprising because I thought the soup would've been the same for both. The pho fries were interesting, I didn't like it at first but it kept growing on me. It had a weird aftertaste that was off putting at first but then became enjoyable. The onions and fried shallots made the dish for me. Overall, not a bad experience but I had higher expectations. I may have come on an off day. Additionally, everything is much pricier compared to NY.

    Pho dac biet
    Selina H.

    This place has one of the best pho i've had in Seattle! It doesn't compare to pho places i've been to in other cities like LA but it's a great for Seattle/Washington. The broth was on the sweeter side but so flavorful! It doesn't taste full of msg like some other places do. They don't give as much meat but otherwise the regular was a nice, filling size. The vietnamese coffee was also amazing, though pretty strong! Parking here is rough. There aren't many spots in the lot, and it's shared with The Boat restaurant across from it. So probably have to find street parking. Interior was really nice and spacious. There's a decent amount of seating as well.

    Beef pho
    Kimaya C.

    Perfect pho for a rainy day! I had the beef pho which was pretty solid pho but I also tried some of my friend bun bo hue. It was my first time trying this type of pho and the broth was so well flavored! The service was quick though the restaurant was super busy and bustling.

    Solid dinner here tonight with my friends after climbing. Got the all beef cut pho and the soup was super rich and flavorful. Wish I got more noodles but the protein portion was decent. Service was super fast for how busy they were. There is a good reason why this shop is so popular!

My girlfriend and I stopped in before a flight, which in hindsight was a mistake. We ordered around 12:30 PM (niku beef udon, garlic pork udon, and chicken karaage), and it took nearly an hour to receive everything. The karaage came out first after about 40 minutes, then one udon about 10 minutes later, and the final dish close to an hour after ordering. Because of this, we weren't able to eat together unless one of us let our food go cold. On top of that, the restaurant itself was uncomfortably cold, which made the long wait feel even worse. It also seemed like many other tables were experiencing similar issues--orders coming out at different times or missing entirely, with customers having to repeatedly follow up. What stood out most was the lack of communication. There was no acknowledgment of the delays, no check-ins, and no apology--not when the food was dropped off, and not even when we left. Given that we had to pay upfront and the price point was $20+ per bowl, it made the experience feel even more disappointing. While the portions were decent and the noodles seemed handmade, the food itself didn't feel particularly special to justify the wait or cost. I truly hope this feedback is helpful. With better timing, communication, and overall service, I think the experience could be much better.

The sayap ayam pedas was a huge portion for just 2 people, but we couldn't stop eating. The combination of soy sauce and fish sauce was not overpowering at all and the chicken itself was so juicy. The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite. The kaya toast was the perfectly sweet dish to balance out all the flavors. I especially loved dipping it in the poached egg for a satisfyingly runny bite.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles.
