Holy smokes! I've had Pho at probably a couple hundred different Pho restaurants all over the US and Canada and all over the Puget Sound, this is a special bowl of Pho! The broth is hands down the best, the meat is top quality, and somehow they even have better noodles (it's like the noodles have butter mixed in them or some kind of other secret magic). The service is always great and friendly! I live in N Idaho and have to come over here on business regularly. We eat here every trip over now. Sometimes more than once read more

Really great place that I didn't know was open for 10+ years in Federal Way! I also found this place by accident since I wasn't sure of where to eat on a Friday night around 9pm. Since it was late, the place had several tables filled but wasn't a full house. There's tons of tables for groups of 2+ people, and I got seated immediately. Inside is brightly lit and very casual. With all my usual first visits to Vietnamese restaurants, I got their Thai tea and their grilled beef short ribs rice plate. That tea was standard and took a little while to prepare since staff had a bunch other delivery orders to fill throughout the night. The rice plate itself was tasty; the grilled beef short ribs looked burnt but still tasted as if they had all the seasoning as I like, and the meat still pulled off the bone easily, so it definitely wasn't overcooked. The rest of the plate is very standard but satisfying in my books. It was also quite nice chatting with the staff a little bit too on some of the dishes. This is a place I'd recommend for some good food, and they're also open slightly later compared to most other places around their vicinity, so it's also a decent choice for if you want foods little later than usual. Really happy this place gets constant traction, and I will be recommending here to my friends! read more

The pho here is something special - if you really like a good, clean pho broth, this is the place for you! I'm a saucy type of pho girl so I have to admit, I can't help but drench my bowl with every condiment available. Hubby ate it plain but that's why we're soulmates :) I also really love the pinch of black pepper they add on top. Most places don't do that so I'm so appreciative of little details like that. Heaping handful of cilantro was also an A++! read more

Overall: 10/10 Food: 10/10 I got the Bun Bo Hue and the soup was savory and spicy and it should be. There was plenty of meat and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was served with the traditional blood cake inside. For an appetizer we got the pork spring roll which came with a peanut sauce dip which was delicious. Service: 10/10 Service was fast and water was brought to us as soon as we sat down Atmosphere: 10/10 This is a no frill Viet restaurant owned by a family read more

Almost five years later, and I'm back with another five star review update! I used to live really close to Pho Kim so I was able to dine in pretty frequently, but I've since moved a little farther away. Thankfully, my current address is still within bounds to order delivery from Pho Kim! Every time we order pho for delivery, it's a toss up whether we'll order from here or another place that's closer. There's really no rhyme or reason, as both places are REALLY good, so it usually comes down to who has the shortest delivery time. The pho broth from here is some of my absolute favorite and it has NEVER wavered. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with fatty meat or anything like that, either. Their spring rolls are also incredibly fresh with lots of veggies which is one of our favorite apps to order if we have the appetite for it. So glad that Pho Kim is still thriving! read more

Ordered door dash, just so you'll have perspective. I ordered a large pho with brisket and meatballs for $17.00. It wasn't good and they didn't even give me a whole meatball for the additional $1.00 charge. The soup was very oily and the amount of soup was for a small - they even put it in a small bowl container. I won't be ordering from here again...I know times are getting hard but I used to spend $5 for a large pho and I'd get a lot of food. Now we are getting charged a significant amount more for less. The photo is of the small order - I placed my kitchen shears near the food box as a marker in size. read more

We were looking for a place to eat in the evening and decided to look for a place offering fall. We found this place and noted it to be located just off of the road. Upon walking in, it looks like a hole in the wall and rundown looking place, but with a blaring phone, lively atmosphere, busy, and a shortstaffed situation. It took them a few minutes to get a seated and bring us some menus, which I think mostly was due to being busy with orders on DoorDash, restaurant orders, and having a small staff. I don't think it had to do with them being slow or having poor service. Service was friendly when we did encounter it. It was reassuring to see they had hoisin sauce, chili, and sriracha. Order the shrimp spring rolls ($9) and #14 sliced eye round steak and meatballs ($14). Spring rolls were standard and good. Peanut sauce wasn't too sweet. Default self had a really good broth and it was tasty. I would return to this place. read more

When in the Seattle area a few months ago, I ended up sick as a dog. And I look to Pho as a remedy. And I did and ended up at Pho Kim. Walked in and I was the only customer. I contemplated going elsewhere but that would mean having to look for another place and then driving there. Remember, I wasn't feeling well. Greeted and was invited to take any seat. Service from that point was excellent. Odd for me to be saying that about service at a Vietnamese restaurant as I'm used to the lack of at the joints by me down in Southern California's Little Saigon. Anyway, I was sucking down liquids, and refills came without even needing to ask. Pho hit the spot. Spring rolls were what I'd consider standard. See pics. Cleared both the plate and bowl. Pics are deceiving. Doesn't look like a lot but I was filled and would have been even if I wasn't drinking liquids like a camel. I won't go so far to say this competes with my go to spots here in Southern California, but I will say, that if I was craving Pho, and if I were in the area again, I'd stop by. Even if I wasn't feeling sick. read more

I have eaten at so many Phô restaurants and I have to say that this is by far the best Phô I have ever had! Their broth is so dark and has incredible flavor! I now crave it in a way that I haven't at any other Phô restaurant! This is now my new go to place! read more

I ordered from Pho Kim as I was battling a stubborn sinus infection. I'd tried everything, meds, tea, rest, you name it. Nothing was cutting through the pressure. But then came the steak pho. Let me tell you... this bowl did more for me than anything from the pharmacy. The broth was rich, perfectly seasoned, and full of depth. Every sip felt like it was clearing out the fog in real time. The steak was tender, the noodles hit just right, and the freshness of the herbs brought the whole thing home. Not only was it exactly what I needed physically, it just tasted amazing. Comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Service was quick, my wife was able to get in and pick it up and get out quickly. If you're looking for a spot that delivers on both flavor and feel-good, Pho Kim in Federal Way is it. I left full, satisfied, and no joke, breathing easier. read more

"Absolutely the best pho I've ever had! Incredible flavors, fresh ingredients, and amazing service made this a top-notch experience. I'll definitely be coming back for more--highly recommend to anyone who loves pho!" love this place read more

Food just wasn't good. I got a grilled chicken vermicelli and eggroll plate. The chicken was cut so small it was like a side salad. Also the chicken seemed old and pre-made. Was barely half a breast ot thigh of meat amd what was there was cut into tiny strips so thin i coulf almost see through them. The fish sauce was obviously watered down, the lettuce was iceberg lettuce and they overloaded it with that and sprouts. Barely any vermicelli noodles too.The egg rolls were also obviously not fresh and microwaved too. Thai iced tea was somehow bad too...thick but somehow also taste like no creamer and just bitter also cup wasnt full. Overall just bad food with no taste and no customer service either. Never asked if things were good. Just left alone and casually glared at here and there after food put down. First and last time will be eating here. read more

Pho Kim is a small Vietnamese restaurant which was good, went for lunch today. We got the Beef, Veggie Tofu Noodle Pho, and Tofu Banh mi sandwich. Food and service was good, 3 star because I felt it was over priced, all 3 of them were $40. Inflation is real, but this real? I would have to think if I would like to go back again to this place. read more

There are a lot of sub par pho shops out there, but this is the real deal. Right up there with Vien Dong's in Tacoma. They don't cheap out on the condiments like some places who give you one plate of bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime and cilantro for 2 servings. The broth is rich and flavorful, and loaded with collagen. A good pho like this is the best food ever when you are sick (or a bit hungover.) The spring rolls were really fresh, and excellent peanut sauce. read more

I wasn't going to leave a review, but this is the third time they've disappointed me. The first time I ordered to-go and the broth spilled because of the container they used. The second time the broth was extremely oily and didn't taste good. And the third time I paid $21 for a can coke and a "small"pho that was supposed to come with everything, but it only had tendon, tripe, and steak, and it barely had any of it. Maybe 4-5 small pieces of steak and only 2 pieces of each of the other. Honestly, I'd rather order from Pho Tai instead. At least over there my money feels worth it. read more

Zero stars!!! Rarely say anything with bad service this was over the TOP!!! I ordered via DoorDash the order was not right. So I called the keep blaming DoorDash of taking things out the order. So I said after to many minutes on the phone with them, I I will bring the order in. One i ordered two pho- no sprouts, mint, lime or sauce for the pho. Ordered grilled chicken they gave me red sauce crumbled chicken. Get there explain what was wrong egg all over their face looking at what I ordered vs what they sent do not DoorDash fault. Asked for fresh grilled chicken, rude lady took the food and told them to scrap off the whatever it was and give grilled. Ma'am please make it fresh. And fixed the other beef pho too. This lady grab the bag out my hand like ohh my gosh. Them tells me she did not get paid by DoorDash and took the food after paying $63. The rude Owners and old lady wanna be bodyguard acted like it was my fault. When there two options fix the food fresh or give a refund. Grabbing food out my hand is unacceptable. I did not get pics of all the food but here's one Stay away from this place you've been warned read more

We came here for the first time because our normal go to spot was closed in Auburn. The pho here was good, the broth was legit and tasty to the point where I finished my broth, nothing went to waste. We also ordered shrimp spring rolls and the beef spring rolls and it was fresh and not dry like other places the spring roll sauce was good and chunky (I hate it when it's watery). The service from the owners and staffs were great I loved how they served their cups cold and we had our own bottle of water for our table, they checked in to see if we wanted to order anything else. The place is definitely a mom's and pops shop, so the dining area wasn't that spacious but they were definitely packed. Which shows that the food was good.. they were busy!! I love a good pho place with great customer service!! read more

It is one of those great hole-in-the-wall places...unassuming, but it is Pho Kim great!

Looked like mostly a takeout location as there were only a few small tables. Service was quick and sounded like the bun Bo hue was a popular item given the number of takeout orders there was. The pork chop was a thinner cut than usual but very flavorful. The smoothies were good but would not recommend the boba (texture was mushy and not chewy). read more

Pho Kim has to be one of the top-tier pho spots! From my first visit to now, I've always been welcomed with such warm hospitality and friendliness. The pho is incredibly flavorful, with a unique homemade taste you can't find anywhere else -- absolutely delicious and worth the 50-minute drive every time! They also sell fresh coconuts, and once you drink the coconut water, you're left with the coconut meat -- the staff are so sweet they've even helped me scoop it out several times, haha! The hospitality is so heartfelt that it feels like you're having dinner at your grandma's house. Both the food and the staff are truly top-tier read more

So I've been going here for about a year. Food is good but I came in here yesterday ordered a side of spring rolls and took a bite out of one of them and my daughter told me there's a bug on it. A fucking roach on its back wiggling his legs. I was shocked . Should have taken a picture of it. I try to get the guys attention and I'm Waiting for him to look at me, little do you know I see another roach crawling on the table!!! I told him he wasn't even fazed and told me he'll make me another order. My appetite was ruined and I'll never come here again. Sad. Because I like the owners. I paid for my soups. He took the spring rolls off my order and we left.. look at the other reviews there's been roaches at this place for years. How are they not shut down is wild to me read more

They might've got the best pho tofu and veggies here in the souf end. Broth is vegetarian and the tofu is your protein. With ample amount of veggies, you're sure to be full off of a small bowl. My kids said their meatball pho is yummy. Service is quick when ordered through UberEats. What's better than pho? Pho at your front door! read more

Service was great. The pho had a lot of veggies and flavorful broth. It's a small spot, so a large group I would call ahead. But group of 4-6 is ok. Affordable prices for great pho. This is way better than Pho Tai. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. Really good chicken pho. Service was amazing. Will be coming back here. Broth is super flavorful.

I've ordered food via door dash from this restaurant a few times. I finally came to eat in person at the restaurant last week. The restaurant is in a busy plaza but I was able to get parking easily.

I would definitely recommend to grab a bowl of pho here! read more

This is a great, no nonsense place to get a meal of delicious Vietnamese food. Service was no frills, but quick and everything we needed. The food arrived promptly, and it was delicious.

Hands down my favorite pho place that I've found in Federal Way. The broth just hits the way she should. From the portion sizes, to the amazing service and the freshness...I would highly recommend. I put my family into Pho Kim and now it's like their go to quick lunch spot. My go to is the number 12, and even the regular size is enough to fill me up. I've also had their chicken banh mi. I would recommend pairing this with your goal of pho because it can be in the drier side, but perfect for dipping. Located in Federal Way. Next to Cafe Noir for your dessert fix. Private parking lot. read more

I am soooo sad. This used to be my favorite place for pho and spring rolls. Went here today and it was just.... off. The meat for our teriyaki tasted as if it was old. It was tough and definitely had not been cooked within the last few hours. The pho had no basil or limes. And I saw a small roach as I was coming from the bathroom. Out of all that, the roach bothered me the least lol. I just wanted good tasting food :( Unfortunately I will not be returning to my favorite place. read more

I'm now making a habit of coming here. The beef spring roll appetizer (with peanut sauce) is amazing. I've never had anything quite like it before.

The hot tea goes nicely with the food. read more

Surprised gem in the middle of federal way. I always go to Korean style restaurants in this area, but my friend was craving Vietnamese and we found this place! And boy were we happy with it all, we ordered: Grilled Pork Banh Mi - Sweet, Savory, toasted, flavorful #29 with Egg - super well marinated and seasoned. Great option if you want a little of everything Bun Bo Hue - SOOOOOOO FLAVOURFUL AND DELICIOUS. We couldn't believe how delicious it was. Thai Tea - ONE of the best Thai teas I've found in Seattle. Overall I recommend trying this spot, we were impressed and it was a good value. We are definitely coming back again!! read more

One of my least favorite take out experiences with Pho. I got sick a few weeks ago and couldn't go to work for a week, so my husband was kind enough to pick up some pho for me. After doing some research on pho spots here on Yelp, I noticed that Pho Kim had great reviews and also happened to be close to my home. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. As can be seen in the photo, I received a full box of the pho noodles, chicken and the toppings but my broth was only about halfway full - not nearly enough for my pho! I had to warm up my own chicken broth that I had and add to the broth. Also, the chicken meat was supposed to be chicken breast - the meat I received looked and tasted straight up like deli meat that you put on sandwiches. It had no remote resemblance to real chicken breast. And on top of that, a lot of my meat looked discolored, so I didn't even end up eating all of it since that was a big turn off for me. I won't be ordering take out from Pho Kim again. read more
