Very impressed! There are several, and I mean several Vietnamese restaurants all around Washington. Seattle especially...I've been to several and all are not bad. But when you find one with good everything, you don't mind driving the distance. I have several places right where I live, and they're okay. So after reading the rave reviews of this place about a 20 min drive from my house, I asked a friend who lives near this place to join me. While waiting for my friend, In comes the owner of my fave açaí smoothie bowls picking up lunch for her family. So I asked her is this place really good, and she stated she loves place. Seems like she's a regular because the owners knew her. Even the ladies who walked in right after me, the owner greeted them by name, and he said your regular table is available. Wow! I'm always impressed when the owners have good rapport with their patrons. When my friend arrived she told me she's been her twice, and really liked it. Ok, let me see if I'll like it since I'm really picky when it comes to flavor. So I ordered not my usual, but a combo rice plate, then to bring back to my family a few bahn mi to go. Let me tell you...everything was fantastic! Flavors spot on. As I was busy enjoying my meal, and deep conversation with my friend, the place became packed with people on their lunch break. Then after a while I looked up, and we were the only ones there still talking about life. As we decided to walk out, the owners who were having a lunch break at the time, stopped eating just to thank us for coming in. Lunch was on me, and after looking at the bill I told my friend I was shocked how inexpensive the food was. Both of us had combo meals with drinks, and they were huge plates of food, plus the three bahn mi's, the bill was around 60.00. To me that's a good price for large portions of tasty food. I'll def be back! This time to try the pho so I can make comparisons to others I've tried. read more

This place has the best chicken wings in all of Maple Valley! Their salt n pepper chicken wings are lightly dusted and fried perfectly! They have that crunch factor while still keeping the chicken juicy. The fish sauce wings are so full of flavor and satisfy your cravings for sweet and salty at the same time. Both types of wings are coated in crunchy fried garlic and come with sweet chili sauce. I got 2 orders as a snack, and ended up coming back the next day for 6 more orders because my whole family loved them! Craveworthy! read more

Excellent pho in Maple Valley! Beef pho was very good. Portion of the regular was plenty, the stock rich, noodles cooked perfectly, fresh veggies. The diamond shaped bowl was a little odd though it seemed to work just fine. The pork spring rolls were excellent, the peanut sauce was the perfect amount, and frankly some of the best out of any restaurant I have been too. The 4-star rating is because the ceramic soup spoon was "smaller" than normal, and not capable of holding enough soup per bite. It was also severely chipped and frankly I feel it should have been pulled from service (without a customer finding it). I am also not a fan of the house chopsticks. They are quite slippery (for me), I think I would have to use disposables next time. *Neither issue will stop me from going here again... 4/26/23 - UPDATE - Spoons changed to black plastic ones that hold more soup! Disposable bamboo chopsticks requested! This is my favorite Pho place in WA! read more

I love this place but there was something I noticed in a recent visit that bothered me. One of the workers had the same gloves on while sitting down holding/touching his phone. Then came out of the restroom with same gloves on. He continued to serve water, bean sprouts, etc. to customers with same gloves on. Sat back down in between service times and held/touched his phone. Please change this behavior for everyone's safety. Thanks. read more

So excited to find this new Vietnamese noodle place. Only 6th months old and I can tell you I have already decided to come back for more. First of all the interior decoration is gorgeous. Yes, you can dine-in. The bathroom is clean. Secondly, the menu has a lot of selection and really thought out. (I found out from the owner). There are some dishes that other restaurants have, they didn't offer because they want to make sure what they are serving is fresh. Now about their food. We ordered the two specialty items on the menu. Bun Bo Hue and Oxtail plus ribs noodle soup. I can't really speak for the Hue because I don't eat pork but my wife she knows how to cook this at home and based on her feedbacks, this place is very good and very authentic. They also have loaded with oxtails and other ingredients. They do not have the pork feet or pork blood in it like the others. Remember I said the owner want to keep thing fresh. Those two items don't sit well for long term and would turn smelly. Myself had the very sweet broth oxtail and ribs. The meat just fell off the bone. I found at least 4 pieces of tail bones and 3 pieces of ribs in it. The owner has mentioned that she would add maybe more rib meat in it after I have told her that I could use more ribs. :) Honestly, both dishes are worth $18. I am looking forward to tryout the salt and pepper wings and beef pho next time. By the way, thanks for Jen wrote a nice review about this place to make my decision to give this place a try much easier. I totally agree with her. read more

Had not been able to come back to this place for a while, but boy was the visit today more than worth it. Fabulous P5 (pho) as well as an impressive mango smoothie (boba tea) - probably the best I have had-and the customer service was top-notch. If you really like pho this is a great option for the area. read more

Good and speedy service. P1 is delicious and the broth is nice and fatty, perfect on a rainy day. The place itself is also really clean and most days not packed. Worth a visit read more

Pho is amazing. After our local spot in Las Vegas closed we haven't been able to find a amazing Vietnamese restaurant. This was right down the street from my family in Seattle's house and perfect. Their banh mi sandwich was the best my husband said he would have ordered a second one because it was that good. Whenever we come back to Seattle we will definitely stop here read more

Very tasty sandwiches. Crispy bread, and delicious flavors. Banh Mi: Grilled Pork - 4/5 Stir Fried Shrimp - 4/5 Both sandwiches were super tasty. The bread is very fresh and has that nice crunch to it. The flavors were great as well. read more

Food is good but a bit pricy, good enough portion, will go there in a pinch for viet food craving

Good spot to get delicious Pho! Bowl full of goodness. They give good amount of meats and noodles even in their Small size of pho. I hope they don't change and follow others with their stingy food portion. The idea is to feed people and have a full stomach when they leave, not serve kids portion to grown adults with big appetite. That's just stingy and a form of robbery (my opinion only) Only downside is the booth seats. One of the seats felt like I was sitting on someone's fist up my you know what. Perhaps they could replace them with better cushion. Check out Pho Binh Minh hungry people!! read more

Excellent broth & veggie options. Highly recommended Can't wait to return. Non meat meat options. Rare to find read more

Yummy pho, cozy environment, good service. Only complaint is no AC and there were annoying flies when I went

My friend was coming over and wanted to pick up food. She suggested this place because she goes often and really likes it. I had her get me the Lemongrass Shrimp and Chicken and she got herself a banh mi. I liked my Lemongrass Shrimp and Chicken. It was flavorful and a decent portion. The restaurant isn't really near me, but would want to try more things if I get the chance to again. read more

Best Pho in the area hands down! Broth is amazing and they give you generous portions.

Absolutely love this place. The pho broth is outstanding, the amount of meat was generous, the noodle was just right, taste was amazing. Here I ordered brisket, meatballs, sliced beef pho, chicken and shrimp lemongrass vermicelli, and thai tea. Service was great, place was always clean. Absolutely recommend this place for pho and other Vietnamese food! read more

The large beef pho portion was generous, although prices are extremely high from what I'm used to paying. Typically I would be used to paying around $8-$10 for a large bowl of pho. Almost $17 seems a bit steep for a large beef pho. As far as taste- quality of meat, produce, and soup - definitely give it a 5 star rating. Reason being 4 stars is just because of pricing. read more

Pho Binh Minh - Vietnamese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Take out order. Ordered the stir fried pork Banh Mi Sandwich and steak brisket Pho. Both me and wifey were super impressed with the Sandwich. I have not had a lot of Banh Mi sandwhiches but this was by far my favorite one I have ever had. The pork was delicious. The Veggies on point and the fact that they added some sort of agile into the sandwich was BOMB! Also there was something pickled in the sandwich and I don't know why but this sandwich was just so good. When we pass this area I will most likely just stop in for another Banh Mi Sandwich. HUGE fan of the sandwich. Also got a large pho. The large who was legit enough for me both me and wife. Broth was delicious and overall pho was solid. No complaints. I don't have anything to say about the people that worked there or decor as my wife went inside to pick up the food. I would highly recommend simply based on the food. I'll be back. read more

50 mins. It took 50 mins from when I placed my order to get it in my hands. I ordered off of yelp (estimated 10-30 mins). I got a notification that it was ready for pick up and when I went in, it hasn't even been started yet. They grabbed the receipt when I went in. So they told me 10 mins. I went in and it still wasn't ready. So I waited about another 3-5 mins. My problem here is, don't use an app for ordering if you don't check it. And if you don't check it, pls don't use an app that tells your customers their order is ready when it's not even in process. That being said, the food tasted good. But I said no cilantro and my sandwich had cilantro. It ruined the taste of the sandwich overall for me but the pieces of meat I picked out were good. If the cilantro wasn't cut up into itty bitty pieces, it would've been easier to pick out. If I were to ever give this place another shot, I would go in and put in my order in person. read more

Pho Binh Minh - Grilled pork banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Maple Valley, Washington

Well, when I saw this restaurant had 5 star reviews, I had to pop in to see for myself. Tucked away in the corner of a small strip mall near lower Maple Valley Washington is Pho Binh Minh. When I entered, the first thing I noticed was how clean and beautiful everything was. The place was f$#king spotless. Every table was decorated with a tiny lucky bamboo tree and the lighting was warm and delicate. Their was a nice sounding fountain in the background while I had my meal. Their was a big golden Buddha with a nice fat belly and a huge smile that seemed to say "Welcome, come in and have a wonderful lunch". The walls had pictures of the nicely colored foods they serve. I was greeted immediately by the hostess and seated right away. She poured me some water and gave me the perfect amount of time to decide what I wanted. They have an extensive menu with tons of different variety. The two things I noticed right away were the papaya and mango salads. My favorite place for mango salad closed a long while ago and I had been wondering if anyone in this area served one. When my server arrived at my table I ordered the papaya salad as I had never had one before. The presentation was amazing. HUGE portion and the ingredients were super fresh. Not one bit of discoloration. It was the crispiest freshest salad I had ever had. Papaya is amazing if you've never had it before. The dressing was sweet and tangy and there was just enough of it. I went with my old go to as far as Pho was concerned, "regular steak and tendon". When I saw the portion I was thinking, "I can't wait to see the large one on Saturday when I bring my wife here". It was a very good size portion for a regular. The first thing I do when I get Pho is to taste the broth right off the bat. This broth was so amazing that I couldn't bear to add Sriracha or Hoisin to it. It was that good!! There was a nice spice herb I couldn't quite pick out. This broth is definitely unique and extraordinary. The hostess came to check on me and refilled my water. After I was almost done she set down the ticket for the bill and told me "no rush". The prices are perfect. The total bill ran me 30 dollars. I'm going to try the mango salad on Saturday and try a different pho for a change. This place is a homerun hitting establishment. Keep up the great work!! You are now my go to for some of my favorite foods. read more

Wow!!! Amazing amazing food ! There vegetarian food is so so good . Bun bo hue is on point!!!! Give them a try ! Pho was delicious! The food was so good, I forgot to take pictures!!! read more

The pho here is the best I've ever had. No one gives as much meat as they do in the P1, I run out of noodles long before meat. The broth is perfect, meat is perfectly cooked and the noodles are too. Spring rolls are excellent too! read more

Best bun Bo hue in the area from Seattle to Tacoma. Hands down I'll come back for that! You can smell the soup aroma once you step into the shop. Service was quick and your typically viet ran shop. read more

Probably one of the best Pho I've had in the area. The broth is clean and fresh tasting before I added any spice. The meat was so tender and they gave you a lot. You could tell this place is run my true Vietnamese Family that put their love in the Soup! Yes, all places like this usually are run by Vietnamese but this one hits different. I will definitely make the drive for my go to for Pho. read more

Great food and nice folks, thank you! It's always a nice place to eat, clean and friendly.

Pho great taste, chicken wings was also tasty. Will try other items on the menu on our next visit.

Just wow. Literally the best pho I've ever had in WA state. Ordered two large combination/special pho and a side of egg rolls. Everything was on point, food, service, and environment. The pho came out steaming hot with tons of meat and just the right amount of noodles. Even when we finished the noodles there was still meat left in our bowls! This will be our new spot even though it's about 25-30 minutes away from our home, the drive is worth it. read more

Found myself in the Maple Valley, far from home. Drenched and starving from a hard days work I stumble onto Pho Binh Minh. I must say, I was surely blown away by the quality of the banh mi. The baguette was perfection. The grilled pork, divine! Great pickled veggie standard. Nice sauces. Hit the spot. Also had the salt and pepper chicken wings. No words. Perfection. Come hungry. The quality of this Vietnamese joint is top notch! The gentleman working was so so nice. I had a long drive back home to Portland. He was all out of coffee and scurried as fast as he could to whip me up maybe one of the finest caphe sua da's I've ever had this side of Hanoi. Re-electrified for the drive home. Clean and cozy ambiance which is a nice surprise when you walk through the doors of this normal little strip mall. I wish yelp had more stars for me to give. Thank you, Pho Binh Minh! read more

This place was very good and clean. I have had pho before, but this place was so good. The broth in the soup was good. I am getting hungry just tipping this. Place is small but there food packs the punch. I will recommend this place for all. Its worth it. I had the shrimp soup and it was great, and my wife had the chicken soup. This hit the spot on a cold day. read more

Very nice people - just opened. We had Banh Mi. Super good. HUGE sandwiches. Bread tastes fresh-baked. Tasty ingredients. When we ordered they told us they were having an opening special, Buy 3, Get One Free, which was nice! I figured we'd have an extra for later. Husband wound up eating two sandwiches. You have to be brave to open a restaurant right now. I really hope they make it because their food is great! read more

We decided to order a mid day takeout while we were shopping to try something new. Neither of us have a lot of experience with Vietnamese food, so it sounded like something fun to try. Their menu lacked a lot of pictures, had some pictures that were clearly the wrong dish and didnt have very detailed descriptions of what you were getting so we had to make some guesses on what we might like. It took around 30 minutes for the order to be ready for pickup which seemed a bit long for takeout. I ordered the grilled pork Bahn mi sandwich. The roll was really good and all the ingredients were fresh. I really liked the flavor of the pork and the meat was tender and good quality. There were some things on the sandwich that I would have asked to be left off had I known what all came with it... We tried the pork potstickers. They were very tasty with a good filling and a crispy outside that wasn't too tough. Definitely the best part of our meal! My wife ordered the short ribs vermicelli platter. The ribs had a good flavor but the meat was it tough and had gristle. The egg roll was very good. Overall, a mixed experience. I doubt we'll be going back... read more

This little Place has amazing food! The Hue spicy noodles have a lot of beef in a rich, delicious soup. The grilled pork banh mi was probably the best I've ever had. And the wait staff is always super friendly and helpful. If you're ever in or close to Maple Valley, eat here! read more

Ordered through Grub Hub. My order was set aside right on time and I felt extremely welcomed even I walked in. Very clean and cozy. Will definitely eat there next time instead of taking my food home! PS: Their Banh mi sandwich was amazing! A+++ read more

Best pho in maple valley / Covington area! Also love their banh mi's, vermicelli bowls and chicken spring rolls.

We did pick up. They had stickers to show where to stand to keep 6 feet away which was nice. We ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken and grilled pork Banh mi. It was delicious! The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft, slightly chewy on the inside. The meats were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I appreciated that my grilled chicken was lean but moist. The garlic aioli helps. The only thing I would change is I would ask for extra veggies. There's no liver pâté in this sandwich which I love but I'm ok without it. 5/5 for the sandwich. The pho was not my favorite. Ordered the lean beef and meatballs. The servings were generous as well as the condiments and packaging. The only thing is the broth lacks depth and is a bit salty which is fine. You can always water it down. If I really wanted pho, maybe I would order this but probably not. 2/5 because of the broth. read more
