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. read more

Pho Cafe - Chicken Bun - Vietnamese Near Me - Mukilteo, Washington

Came here with my wife yesterday because it was recommended to me by someone and it did not disappoint! It's located in a strip mall on Mukilteo speedway and it's definitely the gem of this strip mall. We walked in and were welcomed by the staff. They were very nice and took time to explain the menu. I ordered a regular 2 meat combo because I couldn't decide between the brisket and the round steak. My wife ordered the chicken bun. We were both VERY happy with the portion and flavors at this pho restaurant. Both of our meals were delicious and couldn't decide whose was better I'm excited to have a hidden gem like this nearby. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

This place always makes my mouth water as I drive by. The smells coming from here are incredible! The pho is really good. It really hits the spot on a cold day. I haven't tried the other dishes because I feel like I would be missing out on such wonderful Pho if I do! The ambiance is nothing fancy but is pleasant. It is very reminiscent of small "hole in the wall" restaurants that I have been to in Vietnam or Thailand, but this place is cleaner. The serving staff is very friendly. I enjoyed chatting with a young man named "Dee" who was manning the register. They were very patient with me and mu friend when we ended up taking up a table and chatting for a few hours one day. The serving staff expressed no frustration or hurry, even though we were there during some busy parts of the day. read more

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. read more

Service: fast, owners are friendly, Ambiance: standard pho spot, nothing special. Restaurant is clean. Food: our go to spot for pho for the northend. Recommend ordering the pho and the egg rolls.

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ordered over the phone and they took our order patiently. Pho was decent...if I have to be honest, what left a meh impression was the broth. I've never had such oily broth for pho...and I only requested meatballs and brisket ( they have a choice of special combo, and protein choice so I chose 2 proteins). I guess it was all that meat... Their egg rolls were pretty good, we got shrimp and pork with sweet and sour. I've had better pho, will not come back sadly. read more

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! read more

Pho Cafe - a plate of stew with meat and potatoes - Vietnamese Near Me - Mukilteo, Washington

In short Brand new, already packed all the time, and absolutely killing it. They have all your favorites and they're putting some interesting twists here and there on the menu, too. In long I tried to get in here earlier this month and they were so wiped out from their grand opening they had to re-order a ton of stuff. Awesome problem to have, right? Yesterday the kitchen was easily hitting its stride. They're in one of the many strip malls along the Speedway. You might see them on your way to and from the ferry, and you could be forgiven for blithely drifting right by it with all the traffic. There's good parking, though, and probably an empty table inside. On a cold damp day during the cold damp month we've been having, hot soup is worth seeking out. We got menus, waters, and hot tea right away. The front-of-house staff seemed like all family, even lining up across generational lines (dad, grandpa, kiddo). Grandpa was wearing a t-shirt from a Viet brewery, but the place has no alcohol I don't think. We got a spring roll, the house special combo pho, and a "pho dip" banh mi. They were, unfortunately, out of the salmon roll. The kitchen is killing it, but the dining room is also getting killed, so occasional outs will happen. Now I'm dying to try that salmon roll on a future visit, though! Spring roll Dense, chewy, great peanut sauce for dipping. Great Sriracha on the table, to enhance that peanut sauce. This one is mostly protein and noodles, not much fresh herb sprinkled in, but the flavors are perfectly balanced and complement the textures so well. Pho dip Classic banh mi, served on a perfect baguette. The people at the next table can hear the crusty bread crackling as soon as you pick it up. Plenty of herbs, pickled bits, and tasty grilled meat inside. Served with a little dish of pho broth that truly enhances the flavor and makes it fun to eat. Special combo pho All the meats, including tripe and tendon, plus some nicely-spiced meatballs that could very well have been scratch-made. Also steak and flank, arriving bright red and perfectly smooth at the top of the hot broth. The regular is a decent serving. The broth leans more on seasonings than bone stock, but it has good depth of flavor and the different notes all work together really well. Very nice fresh chewy noodles with good flavor to them. The menu isn't much longer than all the other pho joints, but you get the sense they might keep adding creative twists, specials, new dishes, and all that. The whole family seemed super pleased with the food they're turning out, happily chatting about which dishes they love, and clearly showing that they always eat at work whenever they can. It's easy to see why. They were quick with napkins and utensils (which aren't on the table), and quick with reassuring questions about whether you were good with chopsticks, stirring up noodles, and all that. They're pretty far down the hill, and must be getting quite a few folks who haven't all tried Vietnamese food before. (Yesterday, they also had plenty of customers who looked like they'd been eating Vietnamese food their whole lives). Prices here are very fair, and this place has all the makings of a neighborhood institution for years to come. read more

We were glad to see a new Vietnamese restaurant in Mukilteo. It's is located in a strip mall across from Taco Bell. Ambiance: First impression was the harsh white hospital tube lighting. Not recommended if you're on a date because it washes out your skin tone. The inside temperature was cold so we kept our jackets on as did others. We sat at a table where I could feel a cold draft attacking my legs due to the back door being propped open so I asked the waitstaff to close it. This was late November after all. We ordered the special pho ($14.50 regular & $15.50 large) and rice plate with grilled shrimp, chicken, and pork ($15.50). High score for the meats on both entrees as they were very tender. I felt the portions were on the small size for the price. Menu was basic with pho, bun, rice, and sandwiches. I asked about Bun Bo Hue that other reviewers mentioned but our waitress said it was only available on weekends depending on the chef. I prefer Vietnamese restaurants with more specialty offerings but if you are craving the basics, Pho Cafe is worth a try. read more

Wow. We use to go to Basil for our pho fix but the service the last few times had us looking for a new spot and we found it here at Pho Cafe! The broth was stellar. Full of flavor and so clear! I noticed I didn't feel the need to over sauce it with Sriracha and hoison like I have at other places. What was even more appreciated, was how attentive the staff was. We didn't have to ask for more napkins or water, we were frequently checked on. When we pulled up we had a good feeling. The place had just about every table full at 2pm on a Friday. I really can't say enough about how impressed we were with the broth. My only complaint would be that the portion of meat was a little smaller than what I'm accustomed to but next time I'll just ask for extra meat to accommodate. We definitely found our new pho spot. read more

I was so excited to know about new Vietnamese restaurant open near my location. I took my family to try out their food. It was super disappointed with their foods. They were all salty & too much msg in them. My family is not allergic with msg but will have reactions if eating something with too much msg. We all felt tired and body aches after we left the restaurant. The Vietnamese milk coffee was not the right taste for what it called too. Also, the meat of the rice plate tastes kinda old & dry. I gave 2 stars for the great services because the waiter was very nice & responsed very quick. Won't come back for the second time! read more

Had the combo vermicelli bowl, the bbq pork was excellent, 5 star. However the chicken banh mi was boring bordering on not that great due to stale-ish bread - could have been an off day but it was noon vs late afternoon which made it really unexpected. The pho broth was above average though. A little hit or miss. read more

I'll be a repeat customer here for sure. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and portioned. The egg rolls were exceptionally delicious, very fresh they came to the table hot and oh so crispy. The vinegar sauce with the meat was great too. The pho was good pho. It's not the most complex dish and can be pretty universal across various restaurants. Theirs is aromatic and tasty with a thumbs up from me. One of the best parts of the experience was the owners/cook. The cook came out and asked how things were and commented how everything they serve is hot off the grill. You could just tell the genuine care and pride they have for what they serve. A few menus items were unavailable and they were apologetic that their opening week was a little understaffed but it makes sense, all things considered. Won't hold it against them. As for ambiance, its florescent lighting didn't really set a mood but infinitely more important, the place was spotless. We had a great date night. read more

Friendly staff ,very clean, but let's talk about the PHO. Such amazing flavor in the broth. But what really stood out to me was the amount of meat they put in.
