    Regular Size Pho with Tendon and Meatballs
    Melissa U.

    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.

    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!

    Rice with grilled shrimp, pork and chicken ($15.50)
    Fen F.

    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.

    Pho regular - with beef meatballs & tendon
    Angela T.

    The broth is exactly how I imagine delicious pho to taste! I love how the pho is easily customizable. You can choose what type of meat you want - I picked meatballs and tendons. Service was very friendly and came to check if we needed anything. Parking was easy (parking lot available). Very excited to come back again for my pho cravings!

    Second time at the pizza joint. The ambiance is very casual.

There wasn't much of a variety which was a bummer but I went with the basic cheese to try out. They heated the pizza and it came out hot. Overall, the pizza was good. If I came back, I would order a whole pizza ($22-$28) instead of the slices as it is cheaper. If you come for the slices, on average $4.-$4.75.

Since then, a Georgian couple, I think they are Georgian, has taken over. I was in the mood for a Philly cheesesteak in addition to trying something different. After my perusing of the menu I knew what was going to be my pick for the evening. I live in Everett and this place is just right down the freeway, which is a short jaunt considering it is the Boeing freeway and it's not a bad drive at all. After pulling up, i headed inside and it wasn't crowed at all. I did a quick look over on the menu and glanced at the available slices and was greeted warmly by the husband. I knew what I wanted but it was going to be a split order. I let him know that I was going to eat in first and then order to go afterwards and he was welcomed to it. I first ordered a slice, the meat lovers or pepperoni and sausage. And Caesar salad. The salad was a regular portion but they have a larger as well. The slice was decent. The majority of pizza parlors throw slices back in the oven for a quick reheat and this was no different. Great crisp, not too greasy and the bite was good. My favorite local spot is Brooklyn brothers but this was not too far behind. The salad was good. Classic romaine, chopped to bite-sized pieces, excellent mouth size and the dressing was on point. Croutons, which were plentiful, and I enjoy that, rounded out with a good amount of shredded Parmesan. It wasn't the best but when you have a good caesar salad it's damn near good enough. After my first palate cleanse, i went to place my to go order. A Philly cheesesteak and their kachapuri. The cheesesteak was simple, just meat and cheese, which is my personal standard. The kachapuri was their pizza dough, a mix of cheeses and Georgian cheeses and an egg yolk, that was added father it was cooked. It was accompanied by a slab of butter. The cheesesteak was delicious. It was meaty and cheesy lol. The dough was soft and absorbed all the drippings of the meat and cheese and each bite was perfect. There an always better cheesesteaks and some are standards but this one set a great mark compared to my poach offerings, even the ones that cheesesteak in their namesake. I was happy. After I wolfed down the first half, I saved the rest for the next day and dove into the Kachapuri. This was my first time having this dish and it was a great choice. Be warned that this is a heavy dish and very rich. I had to spread it out over the next few days but each reheat was great and never did it decrease in flavor or quality. The flavor is extremely piquant. Savory, creamy and the addition of the yolk and butter just brings it to another level. Again, it is heavy and should be paired with something lite, salad, vegetables, a tame meat or subtle fish but if eaten on its own, good enough. Check them out and if you're curious, go for the cheesesteak and if you're in the mood add the kachapuri. You wont regret it.

    We had a MARVELOUS experience!…read more My bf, his mom and myself passed by this place on a couple of walks. I've also marked it as a place to visit. It is part of the Staybridge Suite hotels here and this hotel in general, is always packed! We finally know why! The hotel inside is beautiful -- woodwork and a cozy ambience! The 5 x 5 bar & bistro is new. What it was before was an old theater. Matthew was a one-man show with two ladies helping him with carrying the done orders to the tables. It was actually quiet on a Wednesday when we had went. Only 3 tables occupied. We missed happy hour and settled on the regular menu. I had the chicken tenders (4-pc) with lemon pepper seasoning (oh my -- this was delicious!) along with sweet potato waffle fries. I also got the hummus plate -- fresh veggies and the hummus had feta cheese and olive oil too, yummy! My bf had the pepperoni pizza with cheddar cheese and topped with green onions. I had a taste of it and it was pretty good! My bf's mom had the fish burger with a side salad. Matthew was so kind and made a mental note of the orders. He even remembered my bf's mom saying 'no cheese' and he doubled checked with her after looking at the fish burger. Real nice guy and his service with the ladies was warm and delightful! They're forming an events room hall that will be done soon that used to be a pool area (so yes, no swimming pool anymore). They also have a nice patio area with long chairs and a nice mini bar/grills in the middle. I also had a limoncello cooler and my bf's mom has red wine too. We'd come back again!

    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.
