I want to love it here, but I just like it. It's my I-need-pho-and-don't-feel-like-driving-to-than-brothers-right-now place. The pho is alright, not as flavorful as I like...and there aren't any cream puffs (boo). Also I'd like to see more sizes offered. read more

Delicious fresh food and good company always makes an enjoyable lunch! Love the heaping platter of sprouts, basil and jalapenos! Staff is so sweet and attentive and knows many of my dining guests orders right away. Awesome rapport! If you are not in the Pho mood or dining with a Pho-disliker go for the Cabbage/Chicken Salad :) read more

Our favorite pho spot in the area. The foods great and the owner is even better. We've been going here consistently for years and enjoy it every time. It only took a few times going back for the owner to remember us and our orders (all the way down to my father needing a fork instead of chopsticks). Nothing too fancy but the food and the service keep us coming back. read more

The food is good. Just not enough food for the price. I love their spring rolls and the side salad is really good. The beef short ribs were good. The 'pork' was horrible read more

My family really likes this place. It's OK but not my favorite. I guess I need to make sure I'm being objective. This space was once occupied by my favorite BBQ joint in the area so I do have some residual annoyance when I walk in and remember the good old days when Big Al would great me and hand me the glorious sandwich that was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Good times. The service here is average for a pho joint. The pho is also average, which is to say I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The banh mi is smaller and more expensive than the places I usually go for that kind of food so I don't really even order it anymore. This place isn't bad but it isn't good enough to be notable and if I can get better pho and sandwiches elsewhere for less money then I probably won't ever eat here. read more

It's cold outside, my belly is empty, and it's time for Bothell Pho. Bothell Pho is my favorite Pho restaurant in the Puget Sound area. I have been to dozens of pho establishments and Pho Bothell consistently brings savory broth, good customer service, friendly atmosphere and quick service. The menu has many different choices to pick from besides pho and if you have a hankering for a vietnamese crepe, order from here as they are delicious. Give them a try and post up your impressions. read more

We love the broth here. The sandwiches are great. We often order take out and dine in. Never had a bad experience.

Pho Bothell has the best-tasting pho in this area. Everything we ordered was hot, delicious, and plentiful.

Hmm, how do you rate 1/2 stars? I would give it 3.5 since I can't really call myself a fan being I rarely make it up here due to the location. In the Bothell/Canyon Park area I think Bamboo House is definitely a better choice. Pho Bothell would be my next option if I feel like driving further. It's somewhat hidden off the highway in a little strip mall. However, it's really decent inside with nice chairs and tables (stone/ceramic top), hard wood floors, spacious and generally more pleasant than the usual little pho joints. Service - average, not bad. Get your seat, water, then comes your food. You probably won't see her come to your table again unless you try hard to flag her down but typical service. All is well since the pho really is pretty good here. I like the broth - not too heavy. Impressed with the garnishments - the basil and bean sprouts are fresh. Looks like they cut off the ends of the sprouts too which is more preferable. Bonus points for giving you more than 1 or 2 slices of jalapeno! I had the traditional 'dac biet' combo of course (w/ meat ball) and it was good. I love the meat balls here! The proportion of meat vs noodles seems to be just right. The down side is the so-called peanut sauce for the spring rolls. It's only that due to the peanut springles on top - not the peanut sauce I would prefer. It's heavier, darker, and too salty (like too much hoisin sauce or fish sauce). But left satisfied with the rolls and yummy pho - so I still love 'em! read more

Havent had pho bothell in years. Finally came back today since i was in the area. Omg! The small bowl of pho tai, nuoc beo, and extra white onions was so scrumptious!! Best pho in bothell for sure. read more

The best Pho place in all of the King/Snohomish county. The quality is amazing and the taste of the variety of Pho they offer is so good!!! We have been to many in the area and we always come back to this place at least once a week, that thr owners know our-order . All time favorite is their grilled chicken a spring rolls - these are not on the menu however we asked if they were able to make them the first time we visited, and they were gracious to do so, and do that everyone we come in. The atmosphere is awesome, and they constantly have people eating here. Another great thing is that they are a clean restaurant! For me, that is super important and it's clean and so is the restroom, which says a lot about a place. Highly recommend this Pho spot for anyone craving it! Make the drive and stop by, it'll be worth it! read more

Their costumer service is not the best. I just kept going there because it is the only pho I have around. The food is good specially the sandwiches. Nothing special but good food. read more

When will I learn to tell them to leave the cilantro out? Never. I'm one of few Chinese people I know who has issues with it.. good thing I have mad chopsticks skills to fish em out of the soup. But that's not why it's 3 stars. 3 stars because I've only gone once and it was just okay. I got the chicken pho which I thought, broth-wise, could've tasted better. While they were generous with the meat and bean sprouts, I still left a bit hungry. Granted, I got the small size, I still paid close to $8 after tax and tip.. They have quite the extensive menu for a pho joint so I'm intrigued to try more. Vermicelli noodle bowls, specialty dishes, salads, vietnamese crepes?! Yes, please. read more

Best pho in town!!! Super clean inside as well. Sometimes service can't hear you when they're in the kitchen but they are nice!

Have come here a few times with positive experiences. Food is decent and well priced, one of the few pho spots in the area. However, I came here at 8pm on the nose after looking up on google that they close at 8:30pm. The second I walked in I was refused service unless I was ordering to go. This was in front of 6 other patrons. I immediately I was disgusted that they would refuse service and walked straight out. If you say you close at 8:30 and someone comes in at 8:00 they should be given service. Especially when pho is fast casual and can be consumed quite quickly... Not coming back. Asia noodle house and Basil in Everett are great alternatives. read more

This pho changed my life! approximately one month ago I had a dream. a pho-nomemal dream of Vietnamese soup filled with a rich broth and veggies and tofu. This dream sparked a need. A need for not good pho, but great pho. And so, the search began. I tried every Vietnamese shop I later eyes on. Far and wide I tasted each of their soupy broths but each came up short of the magical dream pho. I started getting restless. Would I ever taste a pho that matched my dream? Would I ever fulfill my destiny? Just as I had lost all hope i looked across the muddy mill creek parking lot, and what did I see? Pho Bothell. It's beauty shone from the middle of the strip mall. I stepped inside to be greeted with excellent service. Just minutes after I ordered the tofu and vegetable pho, from the back of the kitchen came a heaping bowl of soup. From first slurp I knew I had found my dream pho. everything was perfect, the flavor, the vegetables, the tofu. The flavors were melting on my tongue. Go to pho bothell. you too can fulfill your pho dreams. read more

Been back a few times since my last review and every thing is pretty much the same. The pho is pretty flavorless, but man I tell ya, the bun xeo is bomb diggity. I had it tonight and I went all, hungry hungry hippo on it. I 100% suggest anyone and everyone give it a try. Seriously, they should rename the restaurant, Bun Xeo Bothell. The crepe is truly Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the pho is Danny DeVito (Twins, 1988). I can't give a 2 star when I love the bun xeo so much! read more

Overall good place. Pho Ga and Iced coffee was good. Was welcomed right as I walked in. Food was ready very quickly. Very clean. Nobody checked if food was ok until I went up to the counter to pay, so I was reluctant to leave any tip. Prices are on par with all other Pho restaurants. Parking is horrible!! read more

Food tasted great! I definitely recommend others to come here and try their seafood pho. Not to mention, the employees are all really friendly :) read more

The broth is good the egg rolls are excellent but the service was horrible. The owner (father) should probably be in the back cooking instead of serving. He was very rude, acted like we interrupted his Netflix show on his iPad. Took our order and we never heard from him again. I had to ask him for water refill, ice and a soda for my son. It's unfortunate really, being the restaurant is only 6 minutes from our house, we would of been repeat customers 1-2x a week since that's all my kids eat. His son is really friendly and should be in front. read more

I can only speak for Take Out as we have not Dined In at Pho Bothell. The Pho is great and broth has great flavor. Can always count on them for preparing a nice hot bowl to go. Also, the broth is packaged in a styrofoam container, wrapped in a bag, sometimes even double bagged! Makes transporting safe, especially in your weekend ride! The Bahn Mi sandwiches are great here too! read more

After I discovered bún bò Hue, pho has basically fallen out of favor with me. I prefer the spicy flavor, rich broth, and firmer noodles. This place has one of the best bún bò Hue in the Seattle area. The broth is obviously cooked for a long time, and the meat is incredibly tender. Be sure to skip the pho next time and get the bún bò Hue. read more

Pho Bothell - Bún bò Huế is great. A must try - Vietnamese Near Me - Bothell, Washington

My wife's family is from So and No California where there are large Vietnamese communities and thus lots of good authentic Bun and Pho. You rate this based of freshness of veggies, quality of meats, fish sauce, Pho Broth, etc. I have to tell you that this place tucked on amongst several repair shops is legit. Don't judge a book by a cover because Pho Bothell will not disappoint. We just had Bun with grilled pork and was delicious. read more

Grilled pork banh mi sandwiches are so delicious! Their brisket pho bowls are also super tasty. This hole in the wall is a little hidden away but it's worth it!! Super nice, family run business. read more

Great prices. $6 bahn mi, you can't beat that. Two bahn mi, noodle bowl with pork and shrimp, and seafood pho, plus two smoothies and two beers, $50. Great flavors on everything. read more

The absolute best pho in all of Washington. Pho Bothell is better than any other pho. The customer service is fantastic, they are kind, friendly, and clean! They have a full proof pho packaging that has NEVER spilled. There pho soothes the tummy and the soul. Converted my boyfriend from hating pho to LOVING Pho Bothell. Have ordered from them countless times and will continue to forever! read more

This place is yummy and clean. I like that the soup comes out piping hot. I would recommend if nearby.

Frustrating experience! I was sick and wanted pho. Ive ordered from this place in the past and it wasnt great. Wanted to give a second chance. I called for a pick up order and requested a pho thai chin and pho ga chicken. The guy kept saying chicken noodle soup and then hung up before he could even take my name. My husband went to pick it up and said the guy was super disorganized and not friendly. AND I LITERALLY GOT CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP NOT CHICKEN PHO... and to make it worse i got 1 piece of oinion, and 4 small pieces of shredded chicken (4 bites worth ) I would normally call and try and get it resolved but doesnt seem like this is a place that would do that. My husbands pho is okay though read more

Food was delicious! I ordered a few different things for take out and didn't realize until I was home that my order wasn't right. I'm glad I drove back because the owner fixed everything, at no extra cost, and was very apologetic. I appreciate that he didn't hesitate to fix the order. (Turns out I wanted a #13, but the person taking my order thought I said 13P... very honest mistake). We'll be back! read more

I work in the same complex and get to see the back side of this business everyday. No one at our office will eat here, somebody tried once and got sick. The food storage shed out back is shabby and sits with the door open all day unattended. You can see it for yourself, just drive around the back. The food is then removed from the old shed and prepared by an open back door, occasionally set on the back curb for hours before being brought in for your dining delight. Once day a salad sat on the curb from before noon and was brought inside as I was leaving. Yum... Crows are wise to the operation and appear to eat the food more than any locals who know what goes on out back. Bon appetit! read more

Wanna get sick, feel miserable, and headache?? Come over to Pho Bothell. We came over here for lunch. I had Pho and my friend had a spicy beef noodle. They have too much MSG in their broth..... We feel so weak, tired, and have a bad stomachache/headache after it. RUN WHEN YOU CAN, this is not a place that you wanna spend your money to get poison food. We found out later that my friend's aunty had THE SAME PROBLEM with THIS RESTAURANT. Seriously, this place needs to be REPORTED. As a Yelper, highly recommend everyone to AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

The food is just okay but it's the service that I'm writing this review. The service is weird. On multiple occasions, we've gotten some weird pranks pulled on us for no reason, and they weren't even funny jokes. I half-heartedly laugh along, but seriously, telling me my card is declined is not a joke. I have a sense of humor, but joking that both of my cards are declined, and then laughing and saying "jk", after you've pretended to swipe several times, just makes me think that I'm going to need to double check my credit card statement to make sure you didn't do anything sneaky. And then one time they got the order wrong, on purpose? Or was that a joke? Because you told it all with a smile? I don't get it. We've found a different pho restaurant that we're comfortable with and don't have to cringe. Do your job, leave the prank behind, and the customer's won't feel so awkward. read more

I checked out yelp to find the nearest pho place close to where I was headed. I was just not impressed with this place. Since this was my first time here I scanned their menu to figure out what other things they had besides pho. The guy who took my order was rushing me to order even though there was no one behind me. I guess playing on an IPad took precedence over customers. I had no idea it would take at least 30 minutes to order takeout. A guy who came in ten minutes after I did, also ordering takeout in person, got his order before I did. I'm assuming he wasn't just ordering white rice and that's why he got faster service. Pho was mediocre, nothing special. This was definitely my first and last time at this place. read more

Working in Bothell has plenty of advantages. Not. When lunchtime hits on any given day, it's a struggle to avoid repetition - usually, I'm stuck with the usual suspects like Subway, fast food joints, or the dreaded cafeteria at my company. I look forward more to what's in store after work, where I can head to a larger neighborhood and get some variety. Pho Bothell breaks up the monotony quite well. My friend and I go here once a week to enjoy some tasty Vietnamese goodness, not just limited to pho. The restaurant is quite small, so there are many times when lunch hour presents a struggle to find a seat. What do I enjoy at Pho Bothell? Well, it's hard to come up with the names past the number on the menu ("5V, 1P"), but let me try. My favorite so far is the beef noodle bowl. Tender, marinated beef cooked in a mildly sweet sauce, that sits atop vermicelli noodles and fresh vegetables. Other favorites include their banh mi (for those hardcore traditionalists, they do serve the banh mi with Vietnamese ham, etc) available in pork, beef, and chicken. Their pho is well sought after, and their special fried rice has tons of variety with the meats and vegetables. If you should find yourself in Bothell for some reason, drive down Bothell-Everett Highway and visit this hidden treasure behind the opposing car repair joint. read more

No cream puffs, the broth of the Pho isn't as flavored as I would like it... The employees are nice and its very family oriented, but the Pho just isn't as good as Than Brothers. The Egg rolls and Shrimp rolls are really good though. I give that an A+! This is a place that I go when traffic is bad or because I don't want to drive all the way to Than Brothers. Would like to see maybe Cream Puffs added into the mix as well as more sizes. Not just Small, and large. read more

This place is the staple of our lives. We used to drive 15 minutes from Maltby because this was the best pho around. Now we live in the apartments next to it and we are there at least twice a week. They dish out the love. The broth has body and character. The meat is fresh and juicy, zero compromise on quality. The noods are good, always well cooked and separate nicely. read more

Been there three times now, won't be back. First time got the Bahn Mi, service was terribly slow at lunch with no one else in the restaurant. Husband was ready to walk out. Four people arrived and got their to-go orders before we got our sandwiches. I wasn't that impressed with the sandwich at that time but figured maybe I was too irritated with the service to give a proper review to the sandwich. Next time I got beef Pho and sat at the counter. Soup came promptly but was unexceptional. It was exactly the Pho that I've had in other restaurants that had me saying "Oh, I don't care for Pho" when my friends wanted to go out to eat. It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't, well . . .GOOD. I don't want to spend ten minutes adding stuff to my soup to give it flavor; if I wanted to do that I'd make my own soup at home. Today I got a pork bahn mi to go. Price is reasonable ($3.50) I guess, except it was mostly bread. And not even great bread. There was one kabob size sliver of meat at the bottom of the bun and very few veggies. I kind of ate it like a taco, push the bits of veggies down by the meat and then bite the bottom part where the meat is and then rip off the empty top bready part. The bread was kind of doughy, too, more like a stale hot dog bun than a crisp, chewy bahn mi bun. In fairness, the place looks clean and has a nice decor. But I won't be back. I'll go ten minutes out of my way to the Bamboo Bowl on Seattle Hill Road. That's the place where I discovered I love (good) Pho. read more

Let's thank all the idiots who gave this place a poor rating, as that was the reason why I traveled to this restaurant to find out how "bad" it could possibly be. First off, if you visit a Vietnamese restaurant to try their pork chops, I can only think of one description... you are an effin' fool and should be banned from Yelp. I tried the pho and it was a good bowl. I also noticed the hunky MMA students dining from their dojo nearby. They liked it. So, note to those haters: balls-up and try complaining to the staff while they are there. I'd love to see a human pretzel being manufactured on the spot. As for the pho, good soup base and standard noodle density with the basic sides. There's nothing that separates this pho from others. It's not Yelp-alicious but it's not deserving of a 1- or 2-star rating either. Service was fairly quick and the atmosphere was clean and spacious. Lots of parking also. If you are in the area and need a quick fix of a steaming bowl of pho goodness, then this spot will cure your ails. read more

Food was decent but service was crap. I'm not expecting amazing service at a place like this. Just get my order right and they failed at that. Mixed up our orders (just two bowls of pho) and forgot my drink after two reminders. I'll go down the street for Pho now, even though it's next door to where we live. Edit: I think the guy means well and the woman working the kitchen is responsible. But I do think the guy that runs the shop doesn't quite get how to run a shop. Lazy? Forgetful? No idea, but too bad. read more

Took my daughter here for lunch today - my first visit. Odd location at the back of a strip mall next to a bodyshop. Nice decor - comfortable seating and very clean. Service was quick and efficient. I had the spicy Pho with steak, shrimp and peanuts. So good! It was spicy but with more than just heat - with FLAVOR! I ordered the large - it was a good portion - filled me up and still had leftovers. My daughter had a chicken Pho and she really enjoyed her meal as well. She added soy sauce and hot sauce to taste - along with the fresh bean sprouts that they brought to the table. At just under $20 for two of us with entrees and soda I thought it was priced well for the quality and portion size. read more
