I came here on Friday for lunch with my boyfriend and the place was pretty empty. Service is nice and fast. The inside was clean. I order my usual, pho tai. I got the regular size for $14 I think the price is good but the portion size was a little smaller compared to other pho places I've been to. The veggies are fresh and I asked for extra cilantro which they generously gave. The pho is well seasoned and tasted amazing. I would definitely come here again! read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My partner & I come to eat here every single time we have a pho craving and it has ALWAYS hit the spot!!! We've both individually come here when we were younger b4 we even met! Ive eaten pho here since I was in junior high & I'm now in my mid 20s. There was never a single time where the food or service was bad for me. I personally love the ambiance here since they have a beautiful view from the 2nd floor of the plaza, so much so look at while enjoying your meal. Plus the music!!! Some days they will play hip hop & rnb or some cultural music. Either way it's always lively & the views are great. It makes up for the creepy hall leading to the bathrooms haha, Plus plenty of FREE parking! :) such a great place that never misses for us. Thank you. read more

For those of you who couldnt decide between dried or soup noodles. Order this so you can try both because they serve dried noodles with a bow of soup on the side. The sauce they made was pretty tasty. You'll get some kind of seafood and meat too. Service is ok and this place got super busy at lunch and parking might be hard to find. So be aware of that. read more

Got recommended this spot from a friend and decided to try it when my dad was here visiting as we are on a quest to find great viet food in Seattle, it's located in an outdoor mall complex and it's in the corner closest to the street on the second/ top level. There's ample parking when we went at around 9:30 on a Sunday morning, it was pretty popping with families eating here. The service is good and pretty much what to expect when you go to viet restaurants. We got pho dac biets and iced coffees. Overall we thought it was pretty good and one of the better phos we had gotten here. Pho - 7/10 : overall it was pretty good, my dad remarked the brother was sweeter which is good but he was disappoted the broth didn't necessarily smell very strong or what he expected. To me, I expected more vegetables like green onions in my soup and I wanted more of the classic Vietnamese vegetables that come with your pho. It only came with been sprouts, jalapeño, and basil. They also didn't include lime so we had to go out and request extra. Iced coffee - 6. To me it just wasn't as smooth as I expected or wanted but I did like that it wasn't too strong tho. read more

Came here with my partner to try a new pho restaurant. I noticed that there were several small straight black hairs in my soup, I'm assuming that is from the server as she has straight black hair, but I don't know. I will not be eating here again. This is Very disgusting. read more

The food, especially their combo pho is absolutely delicious! Have been here many times with friends and family, and have not yet been disappointed. You also can't beat the price, with about $12-$13 per bowl. The staff is friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend this authentic Vietnamese restaurant to anyone in the area! read more

The food here is always amazing! Whenever I crave Vietnamese food, this is the place I go to! I always know that the food will satisfy my cravings. Nowadays you can't just walk into any Vietnamese/pho restaurant without it being a hit or miss. Plus the service here is always so friendly and quick! There's lots of space in the restaurant and tables as well. When I went during lunch time it was a full house! I only had to wait 5-10 minutes though and they cleared the table for us so fast! The price is fair and worth it for the food you get. They have so many options and variety. read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Banh canh with pork knuckles - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Everything is the same :) I've been coming here with a close friend for as long as we can remember having enough money to eat out ourselves.. it deserves more than the 3.5 stars it has on Yelp right now and I hope more ppl around the greater Seattle area will check out the restaurants in this plaza! The good: + ample parking + on 2nd floor of the plaza right across from the Othello lightrail station. + friendly service. Pretty sure I've seen the same people working there since middle school. + so affordable. A large Bun Bo Hue was $8 something for as long as I can remember and it's still affordable now at $12.50. This goes for their other dishes too. + the BBH is the most ordered thing here and it's what I usually get too. It's not your usual authentic spicy BBH from Hue but a very mild, enjoyable noodle soup with all the BBH fixens.. it has become just a thing to get here now. + clean, family interior. There's idyllic, old-timey vietnamese music in the background and all your golden buddhas and fake waterfall sculptures to boot. The meh: Nothing. Even the crime that used to happen in this plaza and neighborhood has improved dramatically from a decade ago. Come check out an awesome Vietnamese restaurant in south Seattle. read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Bun Bo - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is not worth going. The reason I write this, is their attitude. I went in and was waiting for a table, sure the woman was cleaning one of them, I asked if we can sit at another that was already clean, and she slammed the menus on the table. Yup we never coming to this place again. And this is one of the business we should not support. Let them shut down. read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Beef stew (Bo kho) - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Combo pho is my go to and never disappoint me! Great customer service. Small size is very filling for me.. coming back again.

I have tried pho at many restaurants in the area, but Pho My Chau in Kent is one of the places that I would come back for Pho.

I decided to give this place one last try after swearing to never visit again years ago when I found a bug in my pho vegetable toppings. Should have stuck with that. I was desperate for some noodle soup because Hoang Lan is closed for renovation currently and I had driven all this way already. The service was terrible. I watched the waitress and the man at the register happily greet and converse with all other guests but for some reason, it seemed like they did not want my business and I felt as if I didn't belong. I ordered bun rieu and banh loc. The bun rieu was not authentic, way too sweet and salty at the same time (loads of msg) and the meat/egg patty tasted freezer burnt. My noodles were also so overcooked, they broke apart when I tried to pick them up with chopsticks. The banh loc and the plate it was on came out piping out, I had to wait atleast 10 minutes before I could bite into it. The flavors at this restaurant seem to be lacking in authenticity and masked with MSG and instant broth powders instead. I ended up taking my food to go because I hated the energy in the restaurant but honestly, I don't think I will even bother with the leftovers. Extremely disappointed. read more

Pho is mid, but the banh loc is delicious. The food came out quick, and it's more of a hole-in-the-wall establishment. I'll have to come back and try the bun bo hue read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Banh Bot Loc La - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As a relative newcomer to Seattle and adventuring into more Asian cuisine from my normal Southern/Midwestern palate, this place was a welcome delight. The menu was easy to read, even with a selection of 100 food items. Staff was quick and efficient. Tables were turned quickly and they greeted everyone coming and going. We had #45 & #83 (pics below) did not disappoint and this will be on my lunch hour rotation. read more

If you're coming here for the first time- get the Bun Mang Vit. It's a specialty dish that isn't on the menu but 70% of customers order it here from my observation and having been here too often for my own good. The staff are friendly, humble and take pride in serving delicious Vietnamese food to locals and visitors. The ambiance is quaint- a small and home style place that reminds you of simplistic times at grandma's house. read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Pho Tai #3 - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This restaurant should be higher than 3.5 stars and should be on your list to try. Located on second floor of Southeast corner of King Plaza. Go up the stairs by the fancy boba dessert shop and the stairs are not for the infirm. The space is well worn and authentic with a commanding view of tbe plaza if you are seated by the the windows. Watch lightrail zip on by and the chaos of parking lot below. Pho broth was good will try again! If it was served a tiny bit hotter it would be perfect. Really good vietnamese ice coffee "cafe sua da". read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I heard through the grapevines that this place makes the tastiest bowls of bun bo hue in the area! Situated on the second floor of a shopping plaza, you have to do mini leg exercises and hit the stairs. It's a hole-in-the-wall establishment with straightforward menu. It was pretty packed when we came during lunch time, a good sign! For those who are unfamiliar, bun bo hue uses beef bones, lemongrass, fermented shrimp sauce, and spicy chilli oil as the broth base. They have 9 different options of bun bo hue sorted by the toppings you want to get. I got #45, bun bo hue with beef and soft tendon! The order came with fresh veggies, lime, and banana blossom. As soon as I slurped the broth, a burst of sweet umami flavor danced on my taste bud. It was seasoned perfectly, not too overpowering or underseasoned as other BBH I've previously had. My Vietnamese friend approved! I also got egg soda (soda sua hot ga). As indicated by the name, it's a beverage made from egg yolk, club soda, and sweetened condensed milk. It was a refreshing fizzy drink to cleanse your palate! They also have pho, broken rice (com tam), beef stew, congee, and among other Vietnamese staples. Service was friendly but wasn't attentive. They didn't refill our water or check on us. Not a big deal though. Overall, would definitely visit again to try other dishes and if I ever crave for their bun bo hue! read more

Best prices with bars outside. I hella don't mind and they got specials always on deck like duck noodle soup or BBH or Bun Rieu all the time. BBH was a little on the sweeter side but when everything else is $18 and they be $14-$15 a bowl I'm down! read more

This is my regular pho restaurant and honestly no one makes it better than them. I always get the #1 special and enjoy it every time. The employees are kind and funny, always with a smile. The tables are wipes every time and they don't mind feedback. read more

This is my go to pho spot in Seattle. A staple in my rotation of comfort foods and places. Nothing about this place has changed since middle school! Which, personally I appreciate. Despite the heavy changes happening on MLK and Othello, pho my chau has not been one of them. I usually get their Pho with everything in it. They have all your necessities on the table. Your spoons, chopsticks, napkins, and condiments all at the end of your table. The view of a busy king plaza is paired with the warmth of the restaurant. Don't be afraid to order their bun bo hue or vermicelli bowls!! Tho their pho bowls always does the trick for me on any given day. Luckily they are open during this time, they sanitize in between folks and the food comes to you quick. What's there not to love about this spot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed it for the past 10 years read more

I've been to every Vietnamese restaurant in the Seattle area and this is hands down the best spot for a vermicelli bowl. They are not stingy with the toppings and fish sauce. If you are ever ordering a vermicelli bowl, I recommend ordering it with the egg roll AND shrimp sugar cane. So delicious and satisfying. read more

Crazy that I've lived in this area for about two years and never knew this place existed. It was a quick google search for pho and it popped up at a two minute walk and four minute drive. We decided to walk because who doesn't enjoy a good walk? Anyways, location wise I would have never thought to look for it and you can't see it just walking or drying by. It sits in a corner on the second floor (no elevator). It looks like a school cafeteria inside. No special decor or care really. The food is decent. Definitely nothing to rave about service wise. They gave us water, took our order, came back with food then never looked in our direction again. Id probably order takeout here if I'm out of options. All-on-all it was just okay. read more

Lol probably the definition of hole in the wall. Up a scary set of cement stairs to a small restaurant. Service is not what they are known for...we prefer to order to go from here. I feel like this place has the best prices for Vietnamese food. The bun bo hue and the vermicelli bowl with pork/eggrolls are my favorite items to order here. Pork is really flavorful in the vermicelli bowl. read more

Pho my Chau!!! Came here to try their turmeric noodles. It looks so tasty!! And few other things!! Not bad at all!! One: it's in a small strip mall across from Asian grocery store. Parking is plenty depending on the time you come. Shady at night!! Climbing up is interesting too. The guy that work here didn't speak much English at all but he was super nice and friendly!! We were one of the two tables: could've gone either way when it comes to service. But he was attentive! Now the food!! We ordered like 3 plates: tumeric being my least favorite. Noodles were overcooked and mushy! Darn!! The bun salad was good but missing few ingredients. The bbh!! Needs done heat! I still liked it!! Overall, worth a visit. Not great but good! Free parking helps!! read more

Pho My Chau Restaurant - Bun Bo Hue, it's what's for breakfast! - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been coming to this restaurant for many years and this is probably still one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurant to go to. I usually don't eat out for Vietnamese food because I regularly would have them at home every day, but when I do decided to go out with friends, this is the spot. Pho My Chau is located second floor level of the Othello plaza. Staff are generally friendly and welcoming when you walk in. The times I've gone, they've never been packed so that was nice that I can trust this place not being busy. I usually go for their Pho Dat Biet or their Bun Bo Hue. The dishes are so fresh and flavorful. I'd say the only con about this place/area is that parking can get difficult being around the plaza. Especially during the busy hours (weekends, dinners, etc.). Other than that, great spot for authentic Vietnamese restaurant to dine at! read more

This place has always been the spot to get pho and other Vietnamese restaurant staples. Located on the second floor of the shopping plaza, I've known it to be consistently packed with laborers, families, and business workers of various demographics. Though it's full, I've only had to wait a couple minutes once in the many times I've been there to be seated. Their pho and bun bo hue is great here. I think it's the right saltiness in flavor and the portion sizes are enough to keep most people satiated. I ordered their bun bo hues to go and at first glance it did seem lacking because the toppings consisted of two cubes of pork blood, a tendon, ~five pieces of sliced beef, a lime slice, and a mix of onions and cilantro. However everything was more than filling especially with the rice noodles expanding from heating them in the broth. It's definitely a steal given that you can get two bun bo hues for under $20. Calling in, the order only took ten minutes to prepare and getting in and out was pretty reasonable. I would caution people that outside of the pandemic, especially from afternoon onwards that it is difficult to find parking in the plaza's parking lot. read more

I drive all the way to the south end just to come eat their BBH! The restaurant is located in a very crowded plaza. For some reason I'm always find myself back here despite the limited and tight parking lot. My favorite place for Bun Bo Hue hands down! The broth is yummy and this is probably the only noodle soup dish I can eat without adding any condiments. The banh bot loc is a must when I come here. I can never find this appetizer at Vietnamese restaurants so I'm always taking advantage! read more

Highlights: Food quality and location Okay: Service and food portion For my first visit here, I would say this place is...okay. But I'm sure that answer may change after more visits. This restaurant is in the second floor of the King Plaza, so it has a really nice view of the lot and can be quite relaxing. The restaurant is a little small, and the tables can be a little closely spaced from each other, but it's not too bad. Once my bf and I went inside, we had to wait around a little bit before someone came out of the kitchen, and this person - I didn't catch his name - gave a big smile and nodded, before instructing us to sit in one of the 4-seater tables by the window. He served the front-end of the restaurant to all customers as a greeter, waiter, and later cashier. He only ever spoke to us to say "Thank you" once we had finished paying, but he was all smiles, which was more than enough. A couple more groups started coming in and he would make more casual conversation with each of them, along with suggestive selling, but I'm assuming these people could be regulars or friendlier-looking people? Lol. The food was really good though! The portions are a bit smaller in comparison to other pho restaurants, but the quality is really there. From the first sip of the soup, you could taste the distinct and delicious flavor of the broth, with all the ingredients in proper proportion with one another. Considering my church is right across the street from this restaurant and the place has a nice view, plus the quality of the food, I will probably most likely be coming back to try more. read more

For my first time at this restaurant I was pleasantly surprised. You have to find the staircase to go upstairs to the restaurant. I ordered #14 large and it was $9. The service was very quick and the server was nice. The taste was just what I needed after a long night of drinking. The place is good sized also in the interior. Be careful of parking, your car will probably be hit in some way. read more

12/29/15 Stopped by this unassuming Pho shop and was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and quality of the Pho. A nice typical Vietnamese restaurant. The price is not expensive. The menu was very basic, and didn't have a thousand items on it, which could be overwhelming. I'm no pho expert- I'm sure you have friends who can direct you to places that are hipper, or somehow more 'authentic' (whatever that means); all I know is that, I have a piping-hot, perfectly cooked bowl of Pho in front of me in about 5 minutes. The basil, and sprouts are always fresh and green, meat is of high quality, and broth is flavorful. I enjoy a good level of spice and sweat-inducing elements in my food, yet found no need to add any additional jalapenos or Sriracha; the broth was a perfect balance of heat and flavor. Needless to say, I emptied the bowl and plan on returning to empty more in the future. I haven't tried any other dishes beside the Pho (I usually get #6), and it's always so good. I find myself craving it and ignore the rest of the menu. Give it a try next time you're in the area. All in all - a great place to dine in, awesome vibe, tasty food, and outstanding customer service. Would recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Best Bun Bo Hue in the area but don't expect service with a smile. Seat yourself and the menus will be delivered momentarily. The food comes out hot, fast and tasty! Ready to go? Just head over to the counter and they'll ring you up. Like most Asian places, it's cash only. Located on the second floor of a strip mall, you have a great view of the crazy drivers in the parking lot. read more

first time here today. Tried the bun bo hue and goi cuon. Only reason we went here was because Hoang lan downstairs had changed their owner and heard the bun bo hue was not as good. So my reaction? The place was extremely quiet and empty for the lunchtime rush, but I still didn't let this get to me. The goi cuon was fresh and decent. I really wanted to order their nem cuon but when I asked if it had the crunchy wonton in it they said "no". I'm so spoiled with the southern California Brodard Nem Rolls I can't eat anything else!!. For the Bun Bo Hue I got #41 small. The broth came out a little brown and murky. I'm used to it being clear and red and bursting with flavor. I tried the broth before adding anything else in it. The flavor was decent but by far way different from it's competitor Hoang Lan. This one was lacking the immense burst of flavor that punches you when you take a sip, it also lacks the intense spice that bun bo hue is known for. I ended up adding tons of chili pepper to spice up my dish. After doctoring it up a bit the dish as a whole was decent. It was average when compared to my benchmark, but probably way better than I could produce at home. So, for that I will give it an "ok" and willingly return to have more. It does not compare to my favorite but it's a good alternative I guess. Oh yeah, and the stairwell to get up to this place is a little sketch. read more
