TLDR: Tastiest pho I've had in Seattle (so far) ! Bowl sizes: S, L, XL. Pho and drinks only on the menu. Great for families and large groups. As winter comes to an end, I'm excited to say I've found a pho place I love AND their Vietnamese coffee was delicious! Not too sweet and a deep coffee flavor. I got the #2 and the meat was tender. The broth was slightly sweet and chili oil, hoisin, and siracha were provided at the table. One lady took our order and served us and she was awesome ! Made sure none of burned our hands on the hot bowls when they came out. Two gender neutral bathrooms available & you get up when you're ready to pay. read more

Amazing. A small family owned business that has been in Ballard for decades. The customer service is great and the food was better. I will be a returning customer for sure! read more

This isn't anywhere to write home about but it's a perfect low-key spot if you are around the area and have cash to pay. The ambience is very simple and low-key. The service was quick and to the point and the menu was extremely simple. If you're basically looking to eat pho without doing the prep, this is your spot read more

Solid pho. The medium was enough for me and not kids got small. It's a combined t birth Ballard spot

Good food except when they dont give me my extra white onions and then charge me for it. I see 1 onion strand.

They served some very solid pho with ingredients that seemed to be of quality. The place is lacking in ambiance and isn't the cleanest in the dining room. I'd probably recommend it for take out. The people who ran it were very friendly and the service was fast. read more

Legit the best pho broth in Seattle besides like homemade of course and I've been eating pho all my life as a Vietnamese person. For these prices you have to go get a bowl! Only about $11 for the standard sized bowl filled with lots of meat, pho noodles, broth, and more. You can get up to an X-large bowl for only $2-3 more. You cannot beat this price for this quality in Seattle! Pho Vietnam is located in Ballard and is super underrated so I always tell my friends about it. They have been open for more than 25 years! It's owned by a lovely older Vietnamese couple. They are super nice people! I have been coming here for almost 2 years now. It is actually the first pho place my boyfriend tried and he loves it too. I usually order a small bowl #14 or #15 on the menu because it comes with all the different kinds of meats they offer. Definitely a cute hole in the wall that will satisfy your noodle soup craving! read more

Pho Vietnam - Sprouts - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Clean and simple place. Broth is perfect taste! Spring rolls is good! Will back again later!

Stopped by this place for a quick lunch at around 11:30 and the place started filling up around noon. It is located on a busy street but there are limited parking spots available in the back so super convenient! As soon as we sat down, we were able to put our order in and I swear the food came out within 5 mins of ordering. Spring rolls were pre made and put in the fridge before serving. Noodles inside were a bit hard and the lettuce didn't taste very fresh and wish I knew it didn't come with peanut sauce. For pho, we ordered two pho w brisket (L). Portion was very generous and price was reasonable compared to other seattle pho restaurants. Pho itself was good, but the sprouts, jalapeños, and basil she brought out on a separate plate were not fresh and looked like they were going bad (sprouts were brown, basil and jalapeños had some dark spots on them). I was not impressed with the quality of vegetables but pho itself was pretty good read more

I really loved this place. Simple pho that has delicious broth and they don't skimp on the meat. The prices are comparable if not better than other pho spots in Seattle which will definitely keep me coming back. The egg rolls came out very hot out of the fryer and tasted so good. Next time I'll get a drink too they're very affordable! Not much English spoken but that doesn't change the experience :) also no Amex accepted FYI read more

Absolutely delicious. You can't go wrong with any of the phos, they give a decent pile of beef slices and the broth is delicious. I always come out of a pho meal feeling light and refreshed. There are complimentary bean sprouts, thai basil, and lime slices. If you're debating whether to get the thai tea, GET IT. They do not skimp on the tea, it is very strong and comes with a dollop of sweet cream. Love this place and the owners are so kind! read more

I was so happy that this restaurant offers a good deal compared to other pho restaurants and they have a lot of various meats for pho. I was also surprised when I saw raw eye round steak to go at first lol Don't worry, they put the raw meat for you to enjoy the chewy:) Just be careful with the heating time otherwise it would be hard textures! The taste was amazing and although it was a small bowl, I felt very full from it! Enjoy their food. read more

This cute shop looks so unassuming but serves some of the best pho in the city. The broth is nice and clean but somehow manages to be so savory. The fat you can order on the side adds a richness to your broth if you want to be a little extra. The spring rolls and egg rolls are so good too! The perfect amount of freshness and crunch of you order both. The service was quick and efficient. A few parking spots are available behind the restaurant. read more

Really, really love this place because of how tasty and inexpensive their Pho is!! The large bowl is so big that it really can be two meals!! I've tried it with beef, I've tried the veggie one wiry tofu and it's all very good. We have also tried the fresh rolls which are delicious as well! The menu is not too big and gets right to the point - do you like pho or not? They don't have much more than that. The service is not great and the aesthetics aren't either but that's not why you go here - you go here for the food. The one thing that does bother me is that's it's pretty dirty. Like, the wall next to our table maybe hasn't ever been wiped down. The second time I "went" here I got take out because of that. Great food! read more

Pho Vietnam is an institution in Ballard. It has been here for 24 years and serves some of the best Pho in Seattle. The prices are very reasonable with large portions of meat in every dish. Every one got their own separate plate of bean sprouts, jalapenos, and herbs. The owner and family are very hard working and I recommend you support this business. read more

Yummy pho, quick service, sweet reception. Interior is exactly what you would expect from a place that has such cheap prices.

Great food in a little mom and pop, large portions too with minimal up charge !!! Easy and dependable :) very sweet staff too thank you!!

The absolute BEST pho in all of Seattle (And I've been to most places). The meat is tender (even for To Go orders), the broth is perfectly seasoned and salty, the noodles are soft, and it comes with plenty of basil and sprouts. It is a Seattle institution! Pro-tip: ask for the cream puffs :) read more

One of the better bowls of pho in the city. I love that they have veggie in beef broth right at the start of the menu. The prices are are lower than most pho spots post pandemic and the portions are generous. The tables have some grime on them but that's part of the charm. read more

Always the best pho and spring rolls in town. I hope this small business sticks around for another 30 years.

This pho place has been here on Ballard/ crown hill area for as long as I can remember! The last time I came in was when I was in high school! My boyfriend and I recently moved back to crown hill and we had been craving pho and this spot is on our way home so we decided to give it a try again! You can't beat the prices of this place, very affordable and the soup itself is very good. There's a variety of pho for everyone and their drink menu was awesome! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is that they no longer serve the cream puffs! All while they have in big letters on their window it says "free desert" and all over their menus they have cream puffs listed so I had gotten my hopes up when we came to the end of our dinner and we were going to buy cream puffs to take home but they don't have them anymore unfortunately. So the false hope got me a little disappointed but that doesn't take away from the main part of the meal which is the pho! You get your soup pretty fast and it comes out hot with your usual side plate of add in toppings like any pho place. It's a somewhat clean place and despite the other reviews their food safety rating posted on their door is excellent so that makes me happy! read more

I wanted to try a new pho spot so I chose this one because it was close to my home. It was pretty standard pho. Nothing that makes me want to go back, but it did the trick. I also ordered boba tea. The boba was stale or undercooked, and the straw wasn't the correct size so I wasn't able to slurp the boba through the straw. My strategy to enjoy this purchase was to get the boba stuck at the bottom of the straw and then eat it off the end. I was an amateur at first and spilled coconut boba all over. It was slightly annoying. Please invest in the correct size straws. This was very disappointing. read more

Absolutely delicious, family establishment with tasty pho and beverages. I love pho and this one did not disappoint - pretty standard but delicious read more

Truly the best pho I've ever had! We are visiting Seattle and are happened have our Airbnb near this place. We drove by and instantly thought that this must be owned by old master chef lol Price is soooo reasonable portion's great. Soup base is very rich and not greasy at all some places have so much msg that my stomach hurts after eating it but not this place. We will definitely be back before our vacation is over. Mr. And Mrs. Vuu if you are reading this review we really appreciate your hard work. Thank you so much Visited the next day. Again. Great pho. Again. Loved it! read more

I was looking for a pho place to try while around this area and came across Pho Vietnam. Came here for an early dinner Friday and I think I was one of 3 customers here. There seemed to be a lot of phone orders though. They have parking in the back, their lot is right next to a bar. I ordered: - spring rolls - small bowl of pho with beef and tendon I did not like their fresh spring rolls. Maybe there was too much lettuce in it, or maybe the sauce was off, either way i didn't finish it. I love love spring rolls too. As for the pho, they had good broth. They say the broth makes it or breaks it. So 4 stars because the broth was on point. read more

When I daydream about pho, I am usually salivating over thoughts of warm, savory, beefy, aromatic spices/broth that brings me to the imagination of a warm fire place brought forth by this Vietnamese staple. Yet in reality, this restaurant does not do it for me unfortunately. I have been daydreaming hard for some beefy warm broth to help keep me warm during Seattle's cold summer days...and well, when you're desperate you settle, even for food ;) For the price, it's a little high...12.75 for a small bowl of pho and some thoughtless spring rolls? Mehh. I could get both for $10 in Chinatown. Nonetheless, for the neighborhood that it's located and the people they aim to please, I am sure they get by well. Broth was boring. The most bland broth I've ever had. Sure enough fish sauce always saves the day, a good ole 2-3 heaping tablespoons will do, with 1/3 cup of hoison definitely amped up my broth for me. Meat was alright, and meatball was sliced into thirds so I only got 1/3 of a meatball for the pho dac biet. Spring roll came out a minute after I ordered so I know it wasnt made to order. It was mediocre. Sauce was horrible, tasting of hoison and vinegar with peanuts. I prefer a real peanut sauce with peanut butter. And it was like $4.25. The best thing was the people. They were nice and sweet but I wouldn't recommend this place or come here again. They do take card, with $10 purchase or it's a 50 cent charge. Street parking with parking lot in back. Weird bathrooms. read more

This is most definitely an underrated pho place. Don't let the outside "budget" appearance discourage you, this family-operated place actually serves really tasty pho in large portions at a great price. In a sea of inflated prices and reduced portion sizes at restaurants, Pho Vietnam stands out as a place that fills your stomach without leaving a hole in your wallet. read more

Pho Vietnam - Pho with eye-round steak, brisket and tripe. Coffee with condensed milk. - Vietnamese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pho Vietnam has large portions of pho at very reasonable prices. We ordered takeout for a pho #3 and #12, both large. The portions were HUGE with lots of beef, broth, and noodles all packaged separately. The beef was good quality and the tendon tasted very clean. The broth was pretty good as well - not too salty with a deep flavor. It came in a huge deli container, piping hot. Overall, I wouldn't say this is the best pho I've had in Seattle, BUT it definitely fulfills a pho craving if you have one and at such a great price, it's hard to beat. Will definitely be coming here again. read more

Best pho in Seattle. Super affordable prices for the amount and quality of food. Amazing customer service as well. Highly recommend.

My husband and I just moved to Ballard and we come here basically every single Friday. We call it our "Pho Fridays." You can tell that the family who owns the restaurant pours their heart and soul into their food. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the mood for delicious pho. My husband typically gets the #2 and I typically get the #14. read more
