    Chicken pho with beef broth
    Esther K.

    The food was authentic. The service is warm and friendly. The ambiance has pictures posted on their walls that represent the culture.

    Chicken Bun
    Lizzy S.

    Holy moly... this is THE spot for Vietnamese around us. My husband and I went on a quiet Tuesday night for dinner -- the interior is clean and inviting. The staff was very nice, helpful, and checked in on us during our meal. The food was the star though. My husband ordered the combo pho and was so happy with the depth of flavor and freshness of ingredients. I ended up ordering the chicken bun. The noodles were cooked perfectly, crispy veggies and the chicken was juicy and delicious. I don't think I spoke two words during the meal as all I wanted to do was get this incredible dish in my mouth as quickly as possible haha. Prices were very fair for what you receive as well! Can't wait to come back.

    We tried this on a Friday night on the way to the ferry. Seated pretty fast in a small dining area. We both ordered a Pho Dac Biet (the usual) and it came pretty quick and with generous veg garnish. The broth pretty good and good meat. However it's served in really low bowls with no "freeboard" to prevent overflow compared to typical pho places. Kind of weird. Overall it was pretty good but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to go here. Priced fairly average.

    Regular Size Pho with Tendon and Meatballs

    Very clean little restaurant with quick service and amazing food! The pho came out steaming hot with lots of flavor in the broth. The tendon was thinly sliced and just the right texture. The combination rice plate is a must order! It came with a pork chop, chicken, and a skewer of shrimp. Very well marinated! Their thai iced tea was also delicious!

    Regular pho with meatballs--authentic and tasty

    I was staying close by due to an early flight from Paine Field, and this place was within walking distance, in a nearby strip mall. Ambiance was typical Asian strip mall cafe--very simple, harsh fluorescent lights. The service was brusque but efficient, and within just a few minutes I had a steaming hot bowl of pho (regular, with meatballs). This appears to be the kind of place where you are expected to know how to prepare your pho once you get it (no asking if you know how to prepare your pho to taste)--luckily I knew what I was doing and they provided all the fresh and condiment fixings. The broth was delicious--you could smell a hint of five spice, and it had that look of well simmered stock. And the meatballs were tasty. This is some of the best pho I've had in the Seattle area. Check them out if you're in the area and don't need atmospherics or handholding when it comes to ordering or eating pho :)

    Pho Cafe is still my favorite pho spot up north. Had their Bun Bo Hue soup which is a weekend special and it's everything you want in this traditional Vietnamese soup. Blood cubes, pork hock and beef shank! The broth is rich and flavorful and pairs perfectly with an ice cold cup of water. 5/5 it cured my Halloween hangover.

    I will never not love coming here. The Pho is always the best and the people who work here are so nice and attentive. With the weather being cold out, it's so nice to just have a place to go to to have a hot meal and hot cup of tea.

    Large pho with brisket and meatballs; you can ask for chili oil and it's good
    Annabel L.

    For the first time ever Mukilteo finally has a pho restaurant! And this might be my favorite local spot right now. Lately, a lot of of my favorite restaurants have been skimping on the portion and raising the prices so it has become to a point of no return. When I tried pho Café, I was excited that it was only five minutes away from my house, but also because the soup comes out piping hot. They give you generous portions of meat and it's just a solid bowl of fun. You have to ask for their house chili oil, which they silently keep in the back for those who only know to ask for it. I like that their spring rolls come with a trifecta of pork crispy, wonton, and shrimp, which is good.

    Com dac biet - Special rice dish
    Volita H.

    Small cozy Vietnamese restaurant, parking right outside. Even the restaurant is small but very clean inside. The staffs were great and delicious food. We ordered Spicy beef noodles, Special rice plate. Both were great serving and so flavorful. Check their Facebook for weekly special. Very recommended!

    House special combination rice plate with pork chicken and shrimp (to go).

    What a great find! The house special combination rice plate caught my eye because it's got shrimp, pork, and chicken. At other Vietnamese places you have to choose one so getting all three was quite nice. All three proteins were very flavorful and nicely charred. The service was courteous and efficient. At the time I stopped by it seems they have plenty of repeat customers as the patrons appear to be familiar with the staff. Definitely eating here again if I am ever back in town.

    Beef rib Pho with steak and brisket. Top left is nuoc beo (fatty broth) underneath is house made chili oil.

    Still the best Pho I've had from Tacoma to Everett. The amount of love and dedication sets them ahead of everyone else. The nouc beo (fatty broth) is delicious and a tell tale sign if your Pho is legit or not. The chili oil is also delicious and a great example of the effort they put into their business since its made in house. Just when I thought this place couldn't get any better, I had their beef rib Pho (limited time only) with steak and brisket. The food coma was real and worth it! I hope to see that one on their menu permanently! Consider yourself lucky if you live nearby because I drive almost an hour for this Pho!

    Had an appointment in Mukilteo and passed by this Pho spot again. Decided to eat a late lunch here and so glad I did. First thing I noticed was that there were people eating here at 3pm. Normally I thought it would be a slow time but they still had several people and pickups while I ate. My plan was to eat a bowl of pho since that's what I was craving, but the lady taking my order said they had a special. Special was a braised pork with egg over rice. I was craving noodles though so she nicely gave me a bowl of vermicelli and a small bowl of rice and told me to try both. The special pork tasted very similar to a pork adobo, but not as salty. It was SO GOOD. I told them they need to put this on the menu every day and she laughed. The pork was so tender and basically cut apart with just a fork. The eggs I thought were so good. I've had marinated eggs before, but the yolk on these was how you would expect hard boiled eggs to be like, but the white part was marinated. I absolutely loved this and the lady was so happy to hear that because she said it was intentional. Again had a pretty good meal here and the people working here (probably owners) are so nice. OH AND ASK THEM SATAY SAUCE ITS SO GOOD!

    In short Great deals on great drinks, food is really solid,…read moreand the setting is nice and friendly. Only drawback is that the hours are limited. In long Lately we've been seeking out places that are literally quieter--less volume on the music, more space between the tables, and so on. I'd been wanting to check out 5x5, anyway, since it's the only spot around with an exactly perfect rating score. It looked like it'd fit the bill for a low-key place, and off we went. We came in shortly after they opened on a Saturday (4:00 PM). You're in a larger business-traveler hotel here, aimed at Boeing and Boeing-sub folks traveling for work. The building looks kinda generic from outside, but there's plenty of parking, and the lobby has a high-ceilinged atrium vibe for sure. Nice floor tiles, nice carpet, tasteful furniture. Everything's in perfect shape. You don't feel the lounge vibe right away, but there's a gigantic fireplace ahead of you, warming both sides of the room from the middle. Around that, there are lots of sturdy, shiny tables under the lofty ceilings. Off to the side, there's a little lounge area, then another one. Everything in the lounge is bar-height seating, and there are a few flatscreens, probably showing the game. Most folks are in here, sitting around the bar in the middle of the room. We posted up at a table just outside the lounge. Lindsey was behind the bar, and cheerfully answered every single question we had about food and all their cocktails. She's super friendly and makes a great drink for sure. She seems to have a bunch of regulars who aren't staying at the hotel, which is a great sign, no doubt. We checked out the warm pretzel--such a decadent treat. The waffle fries (and especially the aioli that came with them) were awesome. The pizza was a great choice; we added pickled onions to the Speedway. The crust could be a little crisper but we took home what we didn't finish and it's great here, too. Service on food and drinks was really quick. The cocktails here can be really creative, and there are lots of classics with house twists on the recipe. They even have a pisco sour they've tweaked--that's a fair bit of work for a bartender to make mid-shift. We got 5 great drinks and 3 nice plates of food for $96, and I don't think we even ordered anything from the HH menu. This is a very easy place to add to the rotation.

    Music in the hangar has such potential but they refuse to put up any acoustic panels. Sounds like…read morethey are playing in an indoor pool, mostly because they are.
