    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 :)

    Small eatery but very popular . I loved their daily special that changed weekly . The Pho soup flavor was good , the restaurant is clean , I will be back again .

    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)

    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!

The cafe has a variety of both outdoor and indoor seating. Welcoming counter service. There's breakfast and lunch menu items, baked goods, and coffee/tea service.

The only big downside for me is that there isn't any comfortable seating. This is definitely a place that you could come work, or talk with a friend. But, if you want to sit and read for a while, it might not be very comfortable. There are hard chairs and benches. Then there was one stuffed dining chair but it was not very comfortable. There is outside seating that has a nice atmosphere where you can't really see the street at all. We had iced lattes, which were pretty good. They have almond milk. Our drinks were made pretty quickly. There was one person that ordered ahead of us and we got our drinks in about 5 minutes.

Ferry traffic and bedroom-community commuters must flood by here. I pulled in around lunchtime and they still have a customer on the other side--2 baristas, 2 windows. The kid who helped me just radiated warmth and kindness. She's a natural for talking to people. She leaned down and worked herself around in the window to make sure she was seeing and hearing me.

Hippie warmth and community vibes, without all the moonbeam sparkles. Anyway, the Americano was just great. Maybe one or two ticks toward the roastier side that so many people love so much, but still in my wheelhouse. Under $5, which seems the standard.

I wish they gave a little more as I end up finishing the sauces before the burrito is done because they're sooo tasty with the burrito. I also wish they had other meat options other than bacon. They don't have chicken add ins but other than that it's a great place! I've also had their biscuit and jam, but that's just ok. I wouldn't get it again. It's not that tasty or memorable.

However, and I'd like to share my feedback on my experiences. - The food is decent, though it's often prepared for presentation rather than taste. It frequently arrives cold. - The coffee and tea are overpriced and tastes mediocre. - for instance, I paid $8 for a 4-ounce mix of espresso and orange juice that made my stomach hurt. - I also paid nearly $7 for the "peach blossom tea" and ended up getting 3/4 cup of ice, packet tea, and sweetener in a cup. - I've tried nearly everything on the drink menu and nothing is 'great' - The wait time for an order is incredibly long, and the employees are often distracted and preoccupied with other tasks, making it difficult to get my order taken. Overall, go to narrative for the ambiance and food, NOT the drinks.
