On Valentine's Day 2026, my Sweetie took me to lunch at Pho Tic Tac at 14515 Aurora Ave. N Shoreline, WA. I loved the warm and fuzzy feeling I got when we arrived. I had a very knowledgeable and friendly waiter that helped me with my questions regarding the veggie pho with tofu. He answered kindly and never rushed thru his answers. The food was absolutely yummy. My fiance loved his meatball & steak pho bowl. We also ordered a couple of spring rolls with peanut sauce and that was delicious. We both ordered the large bowls of pho and now we know for next time that I will order the small bowl. The prices are a little bit higher than we would've liked, but so is everything else in the world today. All in all, it was very much worth the money plus the great Valentine's Day memory. Service was excellent, waiting for food was minimal. The place started filling up with hungry customers and it seemed that everyone had patience. I highly recommend Pho Tic Tac at the above mentioned location and I will most definitely recommend this nicely decorated and very friendly and professional restaurant. We ended up taking home what we couldn't eat and when I ate it later that night it reminded me of the wonderful lunch and time we experienced there. If you get a craving for some really good pho, remember to check this place out. You won't regret it! Yummy, yummy! Money well spent on food that tasted so good that I could go for some now. Just so you know, they are closed on Wednesdays. Their number is (206) 402-5638. Wheelchair accessible, no reservations, have highchairs for the kiddos, atmosphere is casual, hours of operation are 11:00am to 10:00pm... REMEMBER CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS.

My fiancée and I absolutely love visiting this spot every week. Pho Tic Tac has truly become one of our favorite rituals. Each visit feels like a small culinary adventure because the menu is so expansive and thoughtfully crafted that we make it a point to try something new every single time. From comforting, familiar classics to dishes that push us to explore new flavors, everything we've ordered has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. What really stands out is the balance of bold, authentic flavors and comforting warmth in every dish. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the recipes and the presentation. No matter what we choose, the food always arrives hot, aromatic, and satisfying, making it hard to believe we still haven't made a dent in the full menu. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for both quick weeknight meals and lingering conversations over shared plates. The staff is kind, attentive, and always happy to answer questions or offer recommendations, which makes trying new dishes even more enjoyable. This place isn't just somewhere we eat, it's somewhere we look forward to being. If you're looking for a Vietnamese restaurant with an incredible variety of dishes, consistent quality, and a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back, this spot is absolutely worth making a regular part of your routine. read more

Ambiance: nicer inside than you might expect from the exterior. Service: these folks are the nicest people around. I've been going here for years- maybe twice or three times a year...I don't always recognize people but they are ALWAYS super nice. Very friendly. Food: it's great. Spring rolls are good, pho is good...I love it. It's solid, consistent quality and not crazy expensive. Tonight, I had the small pho tai chin and my partner had the chicken pho. Both great. I ordered green tea and the server forgot- but I didn't even really care- they're just so great. I'd definitely recommend this place for an affordable pho spot. read more

My favorite pho spot in Seattle. I've been coming here since 2013 and have always had delicious and fresh pho, along with their other flavorful dishes. I remember when a small pho was ~$7 back then. Their prices have remained competitively low compared to other neighboring locations and you can get seated quickly most times. I appreciate their attentive staff and quick service. Parking is also free and open which is always a plus in Seattle. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Enjoyable and authentic Vietnamese Right off of Aurora and 145th is Tic Tac Pho. Friendly and quick staff. Pho and Bun options are tasty and traditional. Definitely hits the spot on cold days.

Friend invited me to join her for one of her favorite dishes at her favorite pho place on north Aurora. Service here is very attentive and friendly; we walked in and were promptly greeted and seated. There were other customers enjoying their meals, not loud and overwhelming with noise, as can happen sometimes. And the conversations quiet enough for peaceful enjoyment of a meal. We asked for two versions of the hot and sour Thai noodle soup. Vegetarian with tofu and beef broth with rare steak. The important edit was to swap out the thicker Thai noodles for the pho noodles. Ordered the avocado smoothie, which was delicious because it's actually made with fresh avocados, while we waited for the Hot and Sour Thai Noodle soups. (Just to be clear the hot and sour soup was not like the Chinese hot and sour soup) When are soup arrived, my beef broth base was incredibly rich and so flavorful; the slightly tangy broth was truly satisfying, even more so than just pho broth. The beef slices were perfect tender. The food was actually so good we actually didn't talk that much because we were too busy enjoying the meal. That's when I realized why the environment was so conducive to eating because everyone was so busy enjoying their food the conversations were on the quieter side. A good sign of good place to eat. read more

This was really out of my way to get to from Everett, but I think it was worth it. Would I come back due to the distance? Probably not but it's not a knock against the food. It's cramped and busy but that's a good thing with Pho. I recommend. read more

Was here over the weekend. I had high hopes for this place after reading reviews. It was just ok. First off, 2 in our group ordered hot tea, got "lukewarm" tea, had to ask for a "hotter" pot. Most in my group had pho, 1 had noodles, the noodles came out first. The pho bowls, came out slowly after that. We all agreed that the broth was also not hot enough, it was just a little bit more than "warm", and the broth was just average. The employees here were very nice though. Would I come back? We don't live near here so it would not be on our radar, but if someone we were meeting wanted to come here I would probably come back. read more

Craving satisfied! Fatty flank & meatball pho hit the spot. The marinated onions + egg yolk on the side took it to another level. Flavorful , great vibes, perfect service. Solid 10/10 read more

Pho The Tic Tac is one of the best pho restaurants in Shoreline. I highly recommend coming here. Their phở bò viên (beef ball pho) is excellent. The beef balls are tender with a nice crunch, and the aroma is amazing. The broth is rich and delicious. It's especially perfect on a cold, rainy day. One bite, and you'll never forget it. read more

Flavor - ***** Portion - ***** Presentation - ***** Service - ** Wait time - ** Cleanses - ** Pretty authentic Vietnamese dishes with huge portion. Dishes are pretty flavorful. Their village bowl is my favorite one! It's a small cute business own by family. So do not expect super high quality service. The service speed was on standard. Just the cleanness is a bit concern cuz the floor is sooooo sticky. And the table surface and cups are a bit greasy. Overall is ok experience. Since the flavor and portion and the price are reasonable. I'll return . read more

Such nice people. Cute little hideaway on Aurora. I'm a vegetarian, but the rest of the family isn't and we're all happy here. My favorite...such yummy food, I can't wait to go again! read more

The pho is phenomenal, ahah get it?? But in all seriousness this place is by far one of the best pho places I've come across. Never been let down once the pho is very consistent in flavor and quality, thanks to whoever makes it!! The service is also really good the staff are very friendly and nice. As someone who's very critical of restaurants this one has my stamp of approval! I'd definitely recommend coming here. read more

This is my go to pho spot for a nice warm bowl of pho, good prices, and great service! Staff is always so friendly and their pho and Thai tea always hits the spot! read more

Revisited this pho place after a 4 year hiatus. While the decor and setting has not improved significantly, the quality of the food has gotten much better. Pho noodles were firm but enjoyable and sprouts and basil were fresh. Broth was very balanced albeit a bit thin. Meat portions were substantial and seemed high quality. The Bun was colorful and fresh with nicely grilled shrimp and pork. The main knock against this place is the elevated prices. So half star off for ambience and half to full star off for prices. Round up and you get four stars. read more

1. I gotta ask why it isn't called Tic Tac Pho, that's the better name. 2. Large menu selections, Food was great, fresh ingredients and generous portions (try the sugar cane juice) 3. Staff was friendly and attentive 4. But, while nothing was dirty, the restaurant and restrooms are showing their age and need to be updated and replaced hence the 4 stars and not 5 read more

Pho Tic Tac - Pork wonton noodle and sugar cane juice - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Ordered a few dishes through UberEats late on a Friday night. It was nice that they were open past 10 p.m. for delivery. We got pho ga, bun thit nuong cha gio, and a pork seafood noodle soup. All were pretty good considering the travel time. The portions were ok, taste taste was good, packaging was great (even sealed the plastic bags with a strong sticker) but one gripe would be the chicken. It was sliced this and was a little tough. Would order from here again, but prob not the chicken pho. Solid 3.5 read more

I've tried a few difference pho places around and this one is by far my favorite! Truly a gem in the area. I've dined-in and taken-out, and both options are good. Friendly & attentive staff, tasty pho, and a lively ambience that you forget you are on Aurora 10/10 :) read more

Their stir-fry tofu bahn mi was the best bahn mi I have ever eaten by miles. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Spice level was a little milder than expected, so it's probably safe to bump up your number. The decor was very nice as well. But do order the bahn mi. I could eat ten of them. read more

We came here for lunch on Sunday. The restaurant was busy but the service was fast and staffs were friendly. We ordered the Bo Kho noodle and Rice plate with some blended ice coffee. Good seasoning, generous portion and amazing coffee no chunk of ice at all! The only thing need to improve is beef chunks should be stewed little longer, still kinda chewy. Menu variety 5/5 Food taste 4/5 Drink 5/5 Service 5/5 The bowl was huge enough for 2 people, you can share to try more food on menu. Recommend this place and definitely coming back! read more

I love love love their pho. It's my favorite place to come to either pick up or eat there with my fiancée. He loves to come here too. I will say though, the staff is super friendly but when it comes to checking up on you, they don't do that. Once they give you the food they don't really ever check up on you, not even to refill water. The atmosphere is pretty nice, it's a small cute place! I'm still giving 5 stars just because it's my favorite pho place to come too. I used to live in Northgate and we would come there at least once a week but moved to Bellevue and my fiancée and I still go there whenever we can. He loves the beef short ribs there. read more

I love pho, and since moving to Greenwood, my wife and I have been exploring different pho places in the local area. And I have to say, this is the best pho I had on Aurora. And trust me when I say my wife and I have been to MANY places around here. As per our usual order, we both ordered pho (I got the combination). And per social media, we also ordered the 2-in-1 hand roll just to try it out. The 2-in-1 was very unique. It's basically a spring roll with an egg roll inside. And it was actually pretty solid, not gonna lie. It costs a pretty penny, about $5 for just 1, so we had to order 2 for the price of $10. I never had anything like that before, and it served as a hearty appetizer. Not too shabby at all, but not anything super spectacular. The pho was actually pretty delightful! They're definitely generous with the meats, and the broth was on the lighter side, which I'm not complaining about. The noodles were not clumped in an unraveling ball (which I typically hate), and overall this pho hit the spot. I don't know why this place has low ratings. The customer service was nice, food was great, and my wife and I left quite satisfied. It I a bit on the pricey end, but I'm contently happy to give this place a solid 4 stars. Unless anything else pops up, my wife and I just found out local pho joint. read more

I come here all the time, it's so consistent and the staff is so friendly. They never disappoint!

Ordered delivery late one night. Broth arrived dumped out in the bag - this wasn't the venue's fault, but it didn't help things. Beef pho was... off. The meat tasted like it was right on the edge of being not safe to eat. Vietnamese iced coffee was too bitter to drink, and I love the stuff normally. Gritty as well. Chicken pho was not terribly flavorful and the meat was very tough. The one good thing was the Thai iced tea we ordered, which got the job done. Everything else was a firm 'no thanks.' read more

After a night of partying and a looong day of moving in the rain, I was really craving some comfort food and pho was first thing that came into mind. I heard great things about this restaurant from some customers at work, so my friends and I decided to check it out as it was near our homes. It's located across of the Walgreens, close to where Town & Country Market is located on Aurora Ave N. There's a parking lot that seemed to have enough parking spaces for the amount of customers dining in. We didn't get the chance to eat all day until 5pm since moving took up the entire day so we were starving! I felt like we ordered a LOT. We ordered the shrimp fresh spring rolls and fried egg rolls as appetizers to share. Each came with two small-medium-ish pieces. Looked kind of sad, but we were starving! The shrimp spring rolls were freshly made and really hit the spot. It wasn't something memorable though. Same with the eggs rolls. Fresh out of the fryer (VERY HOT (temperature wise)) and hit the spot but wasn't too memorable either. It came with only two small lettuces... how do we make a wrap with this? LMAO. This was the first Vietnamese restaurant I've been to that only gave the egg rolls without the vegetables. I also thought there would be more pieces as other places give 3 or 4 pieces and cut in half. I ordered their Pho Dac Biet (combination pho) with the rare steak on the outside. The broth was a bit on the lighter side without that fully deep umami flavor. I had to add a lot of hoisin and spicy chili to make it have that deeper umami flavor. But it definitely hit the spot after a long day! I LOVED how much protein they gave me though! Even when I was done with the noodles, there seemed like an endless amount of tendons, beef flank and steak, and tripe. A friend ordered their Short Rib Beef Stew and wow! This was very interesting yet really good. Instead of the usual beef stews I'm used to, it had a sweeter flavor with a ton of umami to it. There was a HUGE beef rib included in it too. Would love to get this the next time! Another friend ordered the Chow Mein with char siu pork. Another interesting dish with a sweeter taste to it than saltiness. Different take from Chinese style chow mein which was nice! I also got a Vietnamese Coffee. It was yummy but a tad too sweet and a bit watered down to my liking. Still helped washed down all the food I had tho! Overall, really great restaurant with a variety of options. Both noodle dishes were memorable especially the portion size. Would pass on the appetizers next time though! read more

Pho Tic Tac - 1. Crispy Golden Egg Rolls (2) - Vietnamese Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Our favorite! We've been going there for many years starting back when they were located on 85th St next to the Taproot Theatre. That location burned down-along with the rest of the block. Luckily they had already started this new location up north. Their eggrolls are the best. I usually get the noodle bowl with eggrolls or eggrolls and grilled pork. I won't try to type the name phonetically! We recently took our neighbors there for lunch one day-they had a favorite Pho place just south of us but told me the other day that they have entirely switched to Pho Tic Tac. Better prices, better service, nicer place and WAY better food. Cafe sudah for the win! read more

Hands down the best pho I've had in the seattle area. Great prices for everything even amongst an economy filled with taxes and inflation, a smiling, warm, and welcoming staff. All of the flavors are there, the pho broth is very evenly balanced, not too salty or oily. Just right. I really don't have much else to say or analyze, just go try it for yourself!!!! Show these guys some love!! read more

This has been one of my go-to pho/Vietnamese spots in north Seattle for years! I actually used to come with my parents before and now that I've moved back up north, I get to start coming more often!

My go to! 10/10 and best in the North End hands down! Nice staff and fast service always. Cozy with a family feel.

1st time having pho with a new friend, here 1st time too! From beginning to end the customer service was excellent! For my 1st pho meal this was a great choice! We both ordered the rice beef broccoli so no actual pho but the meal was absolutely delicious! read more

I love pho and the key to a great pho is its broth. This place has the broth right. Just the right amount of sweet, salty and savory along with the perfect temperature of the broth to make you want to slurp with each spoonful. They also give a good amount of serving at a fair price point. I love places that also run efficiently. They turn their busy tables pretty fast even during hectic hours. The place is down to earth and simple. You are coming for the food. Still a good place to go to for a casual visit with a friend or a large group/family. There is another pho place that I do enjoy consistently so check out my other review on it soon! read more

As I'm new to the Seattle/Shoreline area I'm trying to find an amazing Pho place. I've been to this place 3 times already amazing food and tonight I needed something warm on a cold night to feel better from having a slight cough, I ordered a steak pho to go... After eating some of my food and biting down on an overly crunchy onion, I decided to just spit it out, and a straight piece of hair came with it. I don't see me going back especially since I know my Dreads wasn't the cause of this issue. I do hope they do better with packaging and have less hair. I discarded the food loss my appetite all together (Sorry to disappoint) read more
