    Bug in my soup.

    Went in at night for dinner and ordered myself a pho soup. My fiancee and my brother ordered chicken teriyaki. Noticed 2 bugs in my soup! I barely got to eat and my brother and fiancee lost their appetite. They have a bug lamp near where they prep their food food and there was flies all over. Will not be coming here again, disgusting.

    Yes didn't finish wasn't good

    Food was ok. Noodles was over done and the service was the worse. I asked for regular hot coffee and the server gave me ice Vietnamese coffee. Then I asked for a fork for my dad who is in wheelchair and pointed at the counter and said I can help myself.

    Found a fly on my soup. Never going back again to this place.

    Found a fly in my soup I had ordered three pho's and asked for a full refund to this the employees refused to. That's the least they could do as the soup is mixed all together. Very disappointed I feel very disgusted. Never ever going back to this place again.

    Hair in my pho

    Now I'm staring to question this place. Pho was really oily and on top of that I found hair in my soup. SMH Went to go pay and seen workers eating by food smh

    Rice
    Tall P.

    came in this evening got a bubble tea and a side order of white rice came up to like $11 when I looked at the portion of the rice. It was so skimpy. I went to go purchase another up on purchasing this other I look at the menu the price was 299. The total price came to $4.38. I asked the person behind the register you're saying it's $1.30 some cent for tax. something is wrong that's not right. The owner overheard the conversation and said you want to complain. I said no I'm trying to figure out why is it $1.30 for tax somethings wrong that's not correct. He informed me that I was being charged for the container at that point. I was just disgusted asked for a refund and left. Is that what we're coming to now so do we have to pay to use the plates? Pay to drink out the cups pay for the salt and pepper pay for the condiments on the table now it wouldn't not have been so bad. Had I've been informed ahead of time or it was in writing we go out to eat for the experience. That was a bad experience and I'm not a cheap person. A fair exchange is no robbery that was robbery.

    Medium seafood pho
    Timothy I.

    Came into this place cause everywhere else was pretty much closing at the time. It's your typical pho join with a pretty basic menu - no frills save for some items like Bo Kho beef stew. Service was pretty quick, and staff were friendly too. When I got my seafood pho I was a little disappointed that there weren't scallops like the menu said, but the broth had that oh-so-flavorful, beefy umami quality to it (even though it's a seafood pho). I always appreciate a pho joint that can give that savoriness and depth to its broth. A little heavy on the noodles, too, and would have liked to see more onions & garnish. But I'd give it a solid 3-4 stars.

    I love pho but the pho at this place lacked in flavor. The broth was bland. However, The summer rolls were pretty good. The service was ok. Asked for sriracha, got cilantro instead. Oh well, can't win them all.

    Bbq beef rib
    Christine S.

    I have a friend who is obsessed with pho. We always go here because the food is great, service is good, they have more than just pho and has boba. The flavor of the short rib is so perfect. Seasoned well, charred well and comes off the bone. The slaw and dressing for the slaw is super yummy and delicious and I could eat a larger amount of this stuff. Honey dew boba is the way to go. You definitely need to check this place out!

    Bun with shrimp and grilled pork-- ans I've already been working on this for quite a while. Heaping bowls when brought out!

    Chanced upon this place when our favorite Japanese resto in Southcenter had an excruciatingly long wait. Small, quiet, unassuming compared to the pricier options of Miyabi and Bai Tong. Place had a continuous flow of families. Ordered a pho and bun-- both were soooo good! Attentive and quick wait staff, yummy food, generous portions and well priced. Loved this place and will be back!. Thank you! The best bubble tea, too! Ube and mango flavors are the best! And cheap! Full disclosure there was a week interval between text and pictures in this post. In short, we came back to this place thrice in 2 weeks-- ordering pho, bun, bubble tea, banh mi. Consistent quality of food and service so far!

    The yellow highlighted portion is the gratuity that my mom was unknowingly charged for.

    BEWARE WHEN YOU PAY FOR YOUR MEAL THEY WILL SCAM YOU INTO GIVING THEM TIPS!!!! My family and I are visiting for a trip and we wanted to get something to eat because everything closes around 9. We found this place and called in an order around 8:20. When we went to go pick it up the lady was not the friendliest, but we had to get our food. My mom decided to use her credit card as her form of payment and, the lady then told my mom to sign on the iPad in front of her. When I looked at the iPad there was a big line for her to put her signature and at the top of the screen there was a thin rectangular box that had percentages ex: (15%, 18%, 25%, no tip, and custom.) When I was watching my mom sign on the line I noticed that the box for 15% tip was highlighted and I wondered why, but regretfully I didn't say anything until after. I also noticed that when my mom was signing the lady was looking at the screen (maybe to make sure my mom didn't change the tip button, or to see if she would notice it at all.) The lady insisted on my mom signing quickly saying "just sign" "just sign"as my mom frantically signed her signature. After the transaction the lady was taking a long time to give us the receipt, and after all that time she ended up giving us the register receipt and not the credit card receipt. After we walked out the door I asked my mom to see the receipt and the first thing I noticed is how many things they charged us for. We only bought two phos and two orders of spring rolls. I looked at the end of the food items and there was to-go cup charge, bag charge, and container charge. Where we are from (Hawaii) it is not common for eateries to charge for things like this especially bags. Places usually ask if we need a bag or any miscellaneous things, but that really wasn't our concern. I was more concerned about what was on the bottom of the receipt where all the taxes and final totals are and I noticed a section for gratuity that said $5.18 which was 15% for the whole meal. Then I told my mom that they automatically charged her card for a tip she didn't even know about. She then decided to confront the lady working about this and the lady just made excuses about the machine and how it just does that. Our thinking is that how come the machine is designed to automatically charge for tip? Why can't they just make it no tip and let the customer decide if you deserve it or not? My mom said she didn't need the $5.18 but it is a sneaky and cunning way to rip off your customers by changing them without their knowing. We were shocked and disappointed and we wanted to write this review for anyone living or visiting the area to watch out for this restaurant.

My boyfriend and I were done with an event and were looking for a bite to eat pretty late-ish and we saw this place was still open. We got there around an hour before close. When we arrived, it took a little bit to get noticed and the waiter wasn't really the most friendly and was telling us we should order fast as the kitchen was doing a last call. He didn't even tell us how long we had so we just put our order in. We got the two yakitori trio combo (happy hour), takoyaki, scallop taco, beef udon, udon, and iced white peach green tea. We were getting our order fast but it was like one by one which was a bit disorientating. The food was pretty tasty. The iced tea was refreshing and definitely got good flavor. The tofu being cold in the udon was a bit off-putting as well. The yakitori, takoyaki and scallop tacos were absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved the beef in his beef udon and looks forward to ordering their gyudon. I want to order the oyakodon for sure next time. Hopefully the service and experience will be better next time. Our waiter didn't really check in too much with us but he did refill our water once. The inside is gorgeous and definitely has date night vibes. It is dim-lit but enough lighting to get some pictures. They have tables with different types of seating available for party sizes. They have sauces and spices to put on your yakitori that pair very well.

    Be sure to leave room for tempura!…read more For the past few times I've been going here I kept going for the large and then when I get to the tempura I grab a few of those for myself as well. When I do that I'm always honestly stuffed. I find that the perfect portion of food is the regular and a few tempura. With that said, I know they have tempura Udon but incase you're split between that one and another, get the other option, you can pick up your choice of tempura variety down the line. I love how quick the food is ready and despite it always being busy, I've never had to stand around for seating.

The chewy bounciness at my favorite Japanese locations is almost physics-defying. The texture is simply divine. In comparison, this mouth feel is a cheap knock-off. The broth is not bad. The dashi is not as satisfying, but this was drinkable without being bland or too oily. I was more impressed by the fried sides. The giant potato croquette was excellent. The level of crisp and mushiness of the inside was on-point. The chicken was also nicely crispy and juicy. Of course, the fact that it was dark meat automatically gave it a head start over a lot of American fried chicken filets. The zucchini was good. The pumpkin was a bit dried out, but I think that was partly because I ate it last. Overall, this is quite authentic, from the way the noodles are prepared, to the way customers self-serve the sides. They even have a tray return. There are certain Japanese main-stays that I wanted to see, which are missing. Like, some kind of fish in the tempura line would've been nice. One of the biggest localizations is probably the veggie udon, which is violently un-Japanese looking with its carrots and broccoli and would certainly ruin the mouth feel of a smooth bowl of udon. If there's one plant root you want in an authentic veggie sanuki udon, I'd argue it should be grated daikon radish, which I don't think they have. But well, having too many unfamiliar things might be off-putting. That grated ginger at the end is already dangerous enough lol.

My's is best known for their banh mis, but they also serve pho, fresh rolls, and other Vietnamese dishes. I ordered the CHICKEN (#10) BANH MI ($8 and change plus tax and tip). The toasted baguette and pickled carrot and daikon were all fresh and crispy. However, I wished they put more vegetables inside. I also was disappointed by the chicken as it was shredded and not grilled. It tasted like canned chicken and was overall kind of bland. Had I known the chicken wasn't grilled, I would've gone with the grilled pork instead. Additionally, there was too much pate (which reminded me of melted salted butter, but gooier - almost like the texture of brie cheese) slathered on the sandwich and so I ended up scraping most of it off. Compared to Yeh Yeh's in Lynnwood, this banh mi unfortunately missed the mark for me (although it is convenient). With that said, I'd give them another try and try the grilled pork next instead with light pate. My mother tried the fresh rolls, and thought they were kind of small for the price. The peanut sauce was decent. I took my lunch to go, but the interior atmosphere is cozy. Service was decent too. Overall: 3/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere

It looked like plenty of empty tables, but there was a backlog of people on the waitlist. I tried the QR code to get on the waitlist, but wouldn't let me enter a number less than "2" for my party. I asked a server, and she said it's a new system. I could just enter "2" and wait or just sit at the bar. I didn't know what to expect, since this is a chain restaurant. But the service was great. Super friendly (and genuine). Food was brought out very quickly. Chicken karaage came in in very large pieces. I'd prefer smaller pieces actually. Each piece took 2-3 bites to finish. The portion was hefty. Only four pieces, but i'm sure it was 1/3 to 1/2 lb. of meat at least. Hot and fresh out of the fryer. Good flavor, but I could use a longer marinade maybe. Gyudon was very good. Very soft texture. Pickled ginger was a nice touch. A little heavy handed with the green onions. I actually scooped out most of them. Even though the rice was piping hot, I pretty much inhaled the dish. I've been craving something like this for a while. I've had other donburi where the rice was barely warm. So this was a pleasant surprise. This dish hit the spot. All in all, this is a fair value for the quality. However, next time I'd opt for a table. If you sit at the bar, the music is pretty loud and their blender is pretty loud. For Seattle area prices, this is a reliable spot. I'll be back (if I don't rage quit my job and move across the country).
