Great food at reasonable prices. $4 Bhan mi sandwiches as of this writing. I can order a bhan mi, shrimp spring roll and a drink for under ten $10. The pho is good as well. I wouldn't do the teriyaki again, but the chicken katsu was on par. Good location and cute decor. TV is a minus in my opinion. This is one of my go-to places and I don't see any reason to change that. read more

The vegetarian pho and tofu fresh rolls were good, but they use msg in the pho, which they confirmed, so we won't be able to come back. Just can't handle the msg. Relaxing place that was playing the Seahawks game on both walls. Staff was friendly. Really wish they didn't use msg... read more

Very Delicious Pho Brisket with Meatball. Very Delicious Pork Sandwich, and so delicious tofu spring rolls with very yummy peanut butter sauce. Clean, and very friendly family. Definitely will be back next time in White Center. 5 out of 5 stars... read more

Large pho combo...good broth, good size, and great flavor. Spring/fresh rolls...actually fresh. In fact everything here was fantastic from door in to door out. Even the price was good. You can tell that the owners of this place love what they do and what they have. It is beyond fantastic. Money well spent and I will come here again. read more

Ok but seriously the broth here is amazing !!!! The veggie pho is the best I have ever had around seattle and I eat pho at least once a week. My waitress was a girl with glasses and she was so sweet and friendly. This is a must ! and there are so many cute bars around the area! it makes for a perfect date night :) read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but the orange chicken is hardly edible. The breading was soggy and the taste wasn't good at all. Won't be back. read more

We went roller skating across the street and smelled the pho from this place. Came in around noon on a Saturday with my husband and 2 young kids. We were seated right away by a young women with a smile on her face. Ordered a chicken bahn mi, large chicken pho, chicken and beef teriyaki, spring rolls and 2 bubble teas. Food came out so fast! And the portions were huge! The chicken in the bahn mi tasted like it was grilled on a bbq, pho was delicious, the kids asked for 3rds. Food tastes fresh, came out very fast, staff were sweet and helpful, restaurant was clean and a cute place to eat. All of that food came out to less than $40! Would highly recommend this place to anyone craving fresh, delicious vietnamese food for a great price and a nice place to eat. Thank you Pho White Center! read more

At first I didn't like it because their spring rolls were not what I was used to. Instead of pork it had a piece of fried egg roll wrapper in it. It tasted good and everything and it was fresh but it just was not hitting the spot for me. However the pho was very big very hot and tasted good. It didn't have that wow factor like some places do but it was a very satisfying bowl of pho. I will come back here again for the pho. But really I will come back here for their bahn mi. Their bread was fluffy but crunchy on the outside and still chewy when i bit into it. Their pork was marinated and grilled perfectly. Their veggies were nice and fresh and added nice balance to the sandwich. Next time I I'm craving bahn mi I will probably come here. And plus it's only $4. read more

Pho-S - I don't know if the picture does it justice but the bowl (large) is bigger than average. Tastes good. Meat quality isn't bad either. - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So good! The beef pho was amazing! Perfect for a cold Seattle afternoon. They also have kids sized pho that my picky son loved. My husband had a beef banh mi, one of the best I've ever tried. It was only $5. Service was quick and friendly. I can't wait to go back! read more

I've decided that Pho is my Seattle comfort food. And discovered that White Center has many Pho places around. I've made it a mission to check out all the non super scary ones. Pho-White Center wasn't too bad, the place was busy when I walked in, all but two tables were filled. I'm seated at a table provided a menu and some hot tea, I asked for water as well and it only arrived after my third time asking for it. In checking out the menu I noticed many 'different' 'Pho' options, shrimp, pork, and even duck besides your normal options. I went out on a limb and tried their pork Pho instead of their Pho Ga. I also had to try their salad rolls just for a comparison. Their salad rolls were the worst of any I've ever had, not fresh at all and their peanut sauce was thick and goopey and overly peanut-y I had two bites and covered the rest with a napkin and left them there to die a slow death. The Pho was actually very flavorful and tasty. The basil and bean sprouts were fresh and crisp as well and the lime was juicy. As for the pork it was a little odd, it looked like little bits of fingers chopped up but it tasted good and I guess that's what matters most. I should add I had their small, which came in a huge bowl but was mostly broth with very little filling, first time I've ever had that happen. Also I should note the lady at the table next to me had to get a new bowl of Pho, it sounded like she had a bug in her first bowl, once I heard that I stopped eating and went to pay my bill. I highly doubt I'll be back here any time soon. read more

Best pho in WC! I'm definitely a regular here! Great family & service!! A lot of variety to choose from, and everything is very delicious! We love the pho & fried rice! And can't forget the delicious Thai Iced Tea! read more

I was lucky enough to get treated to lunch today and I chose Pho White Center above the other pho places because while they seemed a little empty at lunch time, PWC was hopping. My dad got a standard pho and I got the beef stew. Vietnamese beef stew is one of my favorite things and this was so good I wouldn't mind eating it every day. Dad loved his meatball pho, but after tasting my dish admitted he wished he'd gotten it. He even went so far as to request several more samples throughout the lunch, and since he was treating I could hardly refuse. Even after sharing, I had enough to take back to work with me though it didn't last long. I was full, but it was so good. Even cold in a plastic tub continued to delight until the last drop was gone. I would have licked the tub if I didn't have coworkers who may have found this disturbing. The broth was rich and perfectly spiced with meat was so tender that it was obvious it had been slowly cooked. Sure, I wish there was a little bit more, but I'll take what I can get. The decor is probably an extension of the family who runs its living room. Lots of knickknacks, fake flowers etc. The waitress was a helpful but apathetic teenage girl who probably had better things to do then work at her parents restaurant. If you want atmosphere and top notch service, go to Tamarind Tree but be sure to smuggle in some PWC beef stew because not even Tamarind can hold a candle. read more

This is the best all time pho place. I grew up coming here. It rakes the cake for Vietnamese food. Definitely earns 5 stars!

Terrible. I ordered a beef pho with extra meat and there was barely anything but noodles in it. Even the beef that was in it was terrible. Tiny little chunks of meat I could barely pick up with the chopsticks, rather than sliced beef found at REAL pho restaurants. The broth is too sweet. I even stood at the cash register for a few minutes while 2 of the employees in the kitchen watched me and did nothing. Finally, the woman said something in Vietnamese to some guy sitting out of my view, and he assisted me. I was able to pay and get the hell out of there. Wouldn't you know it? They actually CHARGED me for the extra meat that wasn't there. Check out 88 Pho or even Pho Lynna a few steps from here. Skip this place. The 4 and 5 star reviewers have never been to another pho place or are friends/relatives of these people. Best pho place ever? Portions huge? Not even close. read more

I still haven't came across a better tasting pho. Maybe it's the mary jane haze coming from next door that is somehow decreasing my ability to taste properly. Shit, I don't care if it is! Family owned and ran everyday of the week. The neighborhood is always vibrant and filled with unexpected adventure, just hold your kids closely and no one will get hurt. All joking aside, I love this place. Oh, and hold your fucking kids closely. read more

After eating pho in Vietnam and all over the world I like to try and sample it wherever I can. Pho White Center did a good job on their pho ga broth. I really liked the balance of spices and it was served so quickly. I only wish I was given a bit more basil. The young guy serving me was very polite and attentive. Great little place! I'll be back, thanks for a good pho and good service! read more

See all

Meh. Tried this place based on the Yelp reviews and the experience was disappointing. Hubby had the beef pho, which was pretty tasty, although the meat portion was very stingy. The combination noodle bowl I had was lackluster. Half the bowl was mung bean sprouts, the noodles were all clumped together and there was maybe an ounce of pork -- a very scant portion for the $8.25 price tag. This block of 16th south of Roxbury is particularly sketchy. That coupled with the fact that the restaurant owners made us feel very unwelcome -- we were almost completely ignored -- makes the notion of ever going back very unappealing. read more

When you're feeling sick and cold, nothing warms your stomach up like a big bowl of pho. Wanting to satisfy my craving for the noodle soup, my fiance and I decided to try a new place by going to Pho White Center. We were severely disappointed. I ordered a bowl of combo pho with slices of beef and meatballs. Although the broth was decent, the "meats" were just too scary to eat. I also tried their fresh summer rolls, and it is the WORST summer rolls I've ever eaten. I gave up after two bites, and I can usually plow my way through crappy food. My fiance ordered grilled pork chops with rice, and it was barely edible. Overall, the quality was terrible. It seemed like they used the cheapest ingredients they could and thoughtlessly put everything together. I would not go back. read more

We have come here for years and it has gone down hill. Not clean like it use to be. I wanted Pho and instead of getting my usual tofu I chose chicken. Big chicken chunks? NO. Sliced lunch meat. Vegetables they brought looked old and I refused to use. Also got a chicken salad rice bowl that was OK but there was hardly any vegetables. Only lettuce and carrots. Spring rolls were the only thing that was pretty decent. read more

I love this place, it's one of my favorites and a hidden jewel in White Center. The food is served fresh and flavorful, the dining room is spotless and they have and maintain an "Excellent" rating from the department of health so that says A LOT! read more

2 stars = Pho. I didn't like it actually. - Too sweet for my liking. It tasted like it has sugar in it? I'm not sure but it's no, no for me. - Not too much beef in it. The small bowl is kind bigger than what I regularly get from other Pho place. - Not savory - I can't taste the beef stock. 5 stars = Chicken banh mi. If not because of this, I'm giving this place 3 stars. - I think one of the BEST banh mi that I've tried. - The sandwich bread is really good. It kind a reminds me of Honey Hole sandwich. Perfectly soft and nuttty. The chicken filling is also very good. It should be voted one of the best banh mi in Seattle ha! - 3 bucks tax included. Sweet. read more

Pho White Center is conveniently located in the heart of White Center, where back-in angle parking is a King County requirement. This pho joint is the best one I've tried in my relatively brief (one year) pho eating career. I am particularly fond of the veggie pho, although I've been known to consume a large bowl of combo pho (various and sundry meat items). I probably should try different things, but I can't get past the magical sensation associated with consuming this delightful concoction. My favorite part is making the pho almost unbearably spicy with the provided pepper flakes and sauces, as it has a kind of medicinal or shaman-like quality and seems to purge evil spirits from my system, especially after a hard night of funblogging. read more

If you're looking for an authentic bowl of soup, try this place! I don't go elsewhere for Pho.

They charged me 40$ for a large pho and spring rolls. Never been charged that much for phone and spring rolls not even close. Their menu had no prices when I ordered so they probably just put whatever price after I ate. I thought we'll pho wouldn't be any more than 20$. Oh and there were RATS Running around! read more

By far the best Pho I have ever had! I live kinda far from them but willl make the drive because it is so goOd! The ladies there are very friendly The pho is a great price and comes with so much! The small is more then enough for me! read more

Not just for Pho. Years of great lunches at this small and well attended restaurant. Frequented by several businesses in the areas and many regulars. My own favorite is the Bun Thit Nuong or rice noodle salad in warm weather and the Com Thit Nuong in cold. The Bun is a refreshing mix of herbs and lettuce in the bottom, bouncy but not rubbery rice noodles and my favorite grilled pork in town. I order the Com Thit Nuong in winter with the grilled pork over hot rice (or broken rice for those who want to know). The pork comes with or without the bone, very well seasoned with palm sugar, lemongrass, fish sauce and ginger. Other good options are chicken salad, a generous slaw like mixture with nuoc mam, and Bun Bo Hue, soup which is much spicier than pho. The condiments usually excel with crispy shallots and fresh roasted peanuts. I can never leave without a cafe sua- sweetened with condensed milk. I wish it were open later.... read more

I hate to do this, but I have to change this to one star. The last two times we've gotten food here it's been awful. The tofu tasted like rancid fryer oil and was inedible. The broccoli had black/brown patches on top and was speckled with dark spots on the stems. We decided to give it two tries, but after this last order, we wont be coming back. read more

#2 with no tripe please! I don't even have to look at the menu. THIS IS THE BEST PHO PLACE EVER. I don't know what else to say! Except for IF YOU ARE CRAVING PHO GO TO PHO-WHITE CENTER! I love this place. So much. Especially on a cold evening. Can't wait. The only downside is... I WISH THIS PLACE WOULD DELIVER! read more

I have been trying find other bah mi places then my usual, in case anything happens to my spot. While I enjoy pho from time to time I like vietnamese sandwiches even better and the bbq pork definitely hit the spot. All good in my book. read more

Pho-S - Bbq pork bah mi, peach bubble tea and 4 piece fried egg roll. ( I made my own dipping sauce here) - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

There is unfortunately nowhere in good in west seattle to have pho if your not into chain restaurants so white center is the place to go and this is the best choice! There is nothing fancy about this place but the food is always good and the service very friendly! The pho here has the best flavor of any I've ever had and you can't beat the prices here! read more

Love this pho! They have the best broth in town! And the bahn mi is amazing and at a great price! We get two each every time... saving one for later read more

Found a LIVE roach in our bean sprouts!!! Never go here. Horrible experience. We left immediately after finding it. Thankfully neither one of us ate anything. read more

Pretty darn good banh mi! The deli across the street was closed on a Sunday and I was craving one of their delicious Vietnamese sandwiches badly. Saw this place across the street and saw on Yelp they also made sandwiches. Definitely a mom and pop place but warm and welcoming as I walked in. Ordered a sandwich for $3.5 and had it within 5 minutes. Delicious bread, warm marinated meat, and an abundance of vegetables. Definitely a good place. Hope to try the pho soon! read more

My boyfriend and his little brother decided to take me to their old stomping grounds for lunch, and I am so glad they did! When trying a new pho restaurant, I always have to taste the broth before putting anything in it. Let me tell you, this broth was so flavorful! I didn't even want to add anything to it. I ordered the #7 (steak, brisket, and meatballs). It was a good portion, with even meat to noodle to soup ratio. The prices were average. Probably the same as the Pho Tai down the street. The service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant was family run. I will definitely come back here and make it a point to be in the area to try more restaurants! read more

This place is a family-run gem! Deep tasty Pho broth. Best place to get Pho in Seattle!

I've been going to this place for a while. It's in my top 5 in the Seattle area. One of the few places I know that if I have a craving the food is worth the drive. Like the other posts have mentioned - the broth makes this pho so good. I also like how they have chili oil on the tables for you to use. The taro bubble tea ain't bad either. The family that runs this shop is very nice and friendly. Credit card friendly. read more
