The food is good but I actually value the experiences and folks who work there more. There's zero pressure in this place, I have anxiety and will look for places that are comfortable and this place makes me feel at ease and like i'm at home. They're very thoughtful! And genuinely care if what you order is good, you can tell they mean it and would remake anything for you. I love the uncle who seems to be there all the time. Lowkey they remind me of home a lot, and their genuineness for others is evident.

Bits of noodle are all we got
Xibee M.

This place used to be a bit pricey but good. But now the broth is thin, the meat is less in amount, and the noodles were tiny shards of broken mess. Do they wish us a short life?? How do you mess up noodles when the actual dish is about noodles??? Not happy.

Beef pho

The place looks very clean and spacious. I was immediately pleased when they didn't question me when I ask for the fatty oil for the broth. The broth was amazing! It's perfectly balanced, not too sweet or salty. It's full of flavor and you can tell instantly the broth was made with good quality ingredients, not just flavored with lots of salt or msg like a lot of pho restaurants. I ordered the combo, the noodles were perfectly cooked and every type of meat I had tasted delicious. I even had to ask for extra broth bc I liked it so much. Even though I was very full, I knew I had to ask for iced Vietnamese coffee because I was excited to try it after having such delicious pho.

Lunch consisting of kids Pho, chicken sandwich and chicken no

I was treated differently than the other customers there. They were short with me and avoided eye contact. Other customers were greeted and taken to their seats and given menus and were given water. I wasn't. I came to the counter and asked if I should sit anywhere and later I asked for a menu. I asked for my chicken sandwich without jalapeños but they put them in anyways. They served my girls Pho without any sprouts, mint or lime. When I asked for it, he said it's a kids Pho so it doesn't come with vegetables. I was so confused. I told him kids eat veggies too. He was so annoyed by my request but I just wanted the authentic set up. I asked if they had any other options besides the beef broth, and he said that's the only one they serve. I asked what kind of broth the veggie pho had and he said beef. As far as ambiance, the place needs a renovation. It's outdated and loud tv plays in the background in Vietnamese. Decor doesn't make sense. It was too many dining red flags for me so I do not recommend this place.

Fried Rice Chicken Shrimp

Before we walked in the server already had drinks and juice on the table for us. My little one is picky but he loved the teriyaki and rice. My husband finished his fried rice! I had to order 2 sandwiches to go because it was that good!!! The salad was a refreshing touch to the teriyaki and beef. It seemed like they had regulars because when they walked in they called them by name and asked if it's the same order they're getting. The food was delish!

Best  in Wa?

I was referred to this spot by a Yelp friend. I have to say, right when I walked in, I knew it was going to be good, just based off their pictures of dishes all displayed on the wall. I'd ordered the Mau Special PO1. I had to order the beef short ribs with the eggs. The broth was amazing, & eating that with the short ribs together was a combination like no other. This place was so good, that I'm returning today to try another spectacular dish

Haven't visit this place for over two years now, so give it a try. Two impressive things: 1) as I was seated, I was given a bottle water. This is nice because I always hesitate about the glasses being used for water as some of them are not very clean. So, I am great full for this. 2) I ordered Vietnamese Iced Coffee and asked for only half sweet and wanted the coffee made fresh. It turned out exactly as I ordered. This is very rare as many places take the short cut by making the coffee in advance and store them in the refrigerator until someone ordered and they take them out and serve them. I hate those because they taste terrible. So, I am very impressed with these two things. I ordered the short ribs with rice. The food was very flavorful, but the meat was so rough and chewy and I could eat them. It was definitely some cheap beef and was very hard to chew. So, the dish was wasted. Secondly, the TV had slimey monsters movie on and it really did not help with my appetite. It would have help with more sales if the TV had food program on. Instead it has slimey monsters. I was happy to see the restroom was clean.

The beef stew was all cuts of fat there was like no actual beef. Didn't look appetizing at all. Spring rolls were not good either.

This place was 10 mins away from my house... Everytime we come here for some reason we always sit on the same table that we always sat at.. We are always greeted with smiles on their faces. Right when we sat they gave us a BOTTLED water NOT TAP water. LOL. Hunbun & I always order the pho #1 with everything in it (steak, brisket, flank, fatty flank, beef ball, tendon, tripe) and a side of egg rolls (comes w/2) so we order for each of us. They have 3 different sizes for the bowls (small, medium, large). Hunbun orders medium and I order small since I don't usually finish the medium. The eggroll was decent but it could be better it were more meat in it. Also, the banh mi sandwiches is the BOMB.. If you happen to be in the area it's by Meeker, Try it wont dissappoint you. The service is also very good...

I am from California and order this in usually from the Auburn area. Since i had more free time i…read moredecided to come in. Upon arrival on the rainy day i was offered water or warm tea and opted for both. Nothing better than that combo for me. Ordered my usual... Pho with rare steak, tripe, tendon and added meatballs. Broth is flavorful, as with anything you make it how you want after the initial taste and i only add limes and chili oil with the added basil. Nothing else. Fun fact: sriracha and hoisin are meant to be on the side to dip in, not poor into the broth. Also what makes me come back here is the Pork Patty Spring Rolls. The added crispy crunch on the inside makes these next level with the dark Romaine and just enough noodles to not overwhelm them like other places. A little added tunes whether traditional or not would be great. Or maybe the sound from the TVs playing food videos from around Vietnam would be cool. The silence was actually a could change up with the air conditioning and sound from the kitchen cooking. Great experience and glad i finally got to come in here!

There were a few people picking up at the time we entered, but nobody else dining in. When one of the servers came with our cold waters, we placed our food order right away with her. We got two orders of the Pork Patty Spring Rolls, a Kids Meatball Pho, a Combination Pho, a Grilled Chicken Noodle Bowl and a Vietnamese Pancake. After about 5 minutes, we got the Pork Patty Spring Rolls. Every single time we order them, they taste so good!!! Hits the spot whenever we visit this restaurant. Probably our favorite dish, actually. After we devoured the Spring Rolls, our entrees came out - Combination Pho and the Kids Meatball Pho. Then a few minutes later, the Grilled Chicken Noodle Bowl came out. I normally like to pour some Sriracha and Hoisin Sauce into my Noodle Bowl along with the sauce it originally comes with. Mixing everything in all of that makes it that much more flavorful for me! Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, the food and the service. The Pho broth seemed a little bland and not seasoned as well as before. Other than that, all of the other food items were tasty and to our liking. The restaurant itself has ample amount of space to sit at since there are plenty of seating and tables available. Parking outside is good, there are plenty of spaces to park at as well. There used to be a Big 5 Sporting Goods store, but since that's gone, parking hasn't been an issue at all. They have pretty decent Vietnamese food for reasonable prices and adequate portions.

Both were very flavorful with rich, comforting broths. The portions were generous, with a good amount of meat in each bowl. Service was really quick, and there was plenty of parking.

My friends, boyfriend and I just got done completing an escape room and we were wanting to grab…read moresomething to eat together but it was 9:30pm so a lot of places were closing. Luckily I saw Pho T & L was open and I've had this place saved for a while so this was the best timing to try them out. We arrived and it was pretty busy and we weren't sure if we seated ourselves or someone else seats us as it took a few minutes for us to get noticed. After a little of standing awkwardly near the entrance, someone noticed us and motioned us to sit near the check out area which you do need to go up and pay rather than wait for someone to drop off a check. We were given waters and menus and given a decent amount of time to decide what we wanted. My friends got a lemonade with tea, Thai tea, shaking beef and combo vermicelli while my boyfriend got the shaking beef and egg rolls and I got the Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls. My boyfriend got his egg rolls and I didn't get my spring rolls until after everyone's' order came in so I have a feeling that the employee who took our order forgot or the kitchen forgot. There was no apology or anything for it either. I got my food first, after several minutes the shaking beef came out and after another a while my friend got his vermicelli bowl. Luckily we weren't pressed for time but it made it awkward as we didn't get our food at the same time and it took a bit to get them. I am a slow eater so I guess it worked out that I got mine first but I also didn't receive my spring rolls until I brought it up once we received everything else. The food was phenomenal and our friends said their drinks were perfect too. I did enjoy my Bun Bo Hue, though I did make it a bit more spicier with their chili oil. They have plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate all party sizes. They do have a bathroom but you have to go through a long, scary hallway to get to it. The tables have probably the cutest container for their chili oil but I appreciate that they have napkins, sriracha, hoisin, and utensils on the table. The employees don't really check in often and they didn't really come by to fill our waters until we were down with our meal. The service was also pretty much non-existent, it wasn't rude but just felt rushed and cold.

It's the kind of place you can count on when you're craving something comforting but don't want to deal with any hassle getting there. I almost always find myself ordering the bun bo hue - it's flavorful, and hits every time. Their vermicelli bowls are another favorite of mine, super fresh and satisfying with the perfect balance of textures. Their meat and toppings are amazing. You really can't go wrong with either. What keeps me coming back (besides the food) is the service. The staff is consistently friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming. There's just a warm, easygoing energy every time I walk in that makes the whole experience even better. Overall, it's one of those reliable spots that never disappoints - great food, great vibes, and super convenient. Definitely a regular in my rotation.

Good thing Yelp reminded me that it's not too far from my mother's house. The restaurant was nice decorated as if it's a small village in Vietnam with alot of cute decors. There's a good amount of space and seating in there, plenty of parking as it shares a complex with other stores. The service was exceptional, the staff was really attentive and friendly. The food was decently portioned and well-priced. It tastes authentic, flavorful and fulfilling. I would totally come back here and recommend you to try it out if you haven't already. They have some stuff on the menu that's very intriguing that I already want to come back to try.
