    Vegetable Pho
    Michelle F.

    Broth, meat and prices are better than at the Landing. Come here instead. Yum!!! There's always room and the staff are nice.

    Noodle, Chicken and Veggie stirfry.
    Mark T.

    We were down in Renton on some business and stopped by this place thinking it was all about pho, but I was pleasantly surprised. The menu's got a lot more to offer! We went for the chicken and veggie noodle stir-fry and the chicken and egg roll vermicelli salad, and both were spot on - and had very generous portion sizes. The owner's a genuinely friendly guy, and it's clear this place has its regulars. Just watching the steady stream of takeout orders, you can tell people love coming back. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the mood for some quality dishes and a warm atmosphere. Could the place have been a little cleaner? Perhaps - but Pho World is a go-to place when you're in the area.

    Steamed Gyoza and Snapple drink.
    Noside E.

    I've been coming here on and off for over five years. New owners a couple plus years ago. Today, the ambiance showed only three tables in the restaurant. Usually they are busy. I guess tonight is slow. The steamed gyoza was actually not bad. Then I tried Menu #11. Small size pho soup with the three different meats in it. It was okay. I was not fond of the meatballs this time around. It tasted funny. Once I had the funny taste in my mouth, I stopped eating. So never finished my soup. I wanted to order a bubble tea, but the bad aftertaste ruined it. Three stars today from me. Oh well.

    Brisket Pho small and sriracha sauce
    Teannuh-Muhree A.

    Personally I didn't like the brisket pho here. It's a little too sweet for my liking. The Sriracha tasted like tomato sauce and ruined the soup. The customer service was just okay. Was not appetizing at all.

An abundance of seating both indoors and outdoors with an elegant display and very on theme with the elevated vibe they are shooting for. The staff was super friendly and helped answer any of our questions. We even got to meet the owner and he showed us the different rooms as well as told us a bit about his vision. I'm going to be honest; I came in with peripheral vision because of so many mixed reviews from people we know but after experiencing it ourselves, we were blown away. We ordered a bunch of dishes and drinks and it far exceeded our expectations. The flavors and authenticity were there and you can taste the elevation on the dishes as it was intended to be. Meats were tender and full of umami. Seafood tasted fresh and had the right complimenting sauces. All the sauces were tasty and were modified slightly to bring it to a broader audience. There were no leftovers. The drinks were good as well! I ordered the Fish Sauce Coffee and as gimmicky as it sounds, it brought in a saltiness to the sweet that balanced out the coffee perfectly.

Also, overpriced drinks are served in small glasses. You take two sips and it's gone :( Last time I was here, it was a hot sunny day and we requested to sit inside to escape the heat. It wasn't any better inside because the big walls/window were open to the patio area, so it was just as hot inside with no moving air. There were also a lot of mosquitoes inside and me and my dinner party got bug bites during our dinner. We saw a bug zapper above a dinner table and would have hated to be seated underneath that.. imagine hearing bug zaps while eating ugh. We would have probably stayed longer and enjoyed the sunset view if it weren't for all the mosquitos. I know you can't control nature but it was def impacting our overall experience and made us leave asap.

This night, it was pretty busy and we waited around 20 minutes for a table for 6. They had asked if we wanted to sit separately or wait an additional 20-30 min for sitting together. We sat at 2 4 tops next to each other. After sitting down for 10 minutes where no table settings were touched, a large table opened up and we asked if we could sit at the large table. Waitress said no, which we understood if there was a larger party coming. However, they ended up splitting the table into two for 2 small parties of less than 4. This left a sour taste in our mouth... If you have larger parties, expect to wait. They are very understaffed so service is poor. The food here is pretty good, but we will not be coming back. They have a good variety of more niche Vietnamese food. However, some of the soups seem to be mixed, we tasted some Bo Kho in our other soups. Parking was full in their lot that night, but there was ample street parking nearby as well.

The last place I went to had clouds of fruit flies, the floor was sticky and the table looked like a science experiment (the Pho was good though, but ewww). But this isn't about Pho places in Covington. This is about Happy Autumn in Renton. I needed to be in Renton along 4th Ave and since I don't get to eat good Pho much anymore, I saw that Happy Autumn was along the route I'd be driving. My first impression. The food handling rating is EXCELLENT and the restaurant looked clean. The staff was delightful, professional, full of smiles, and had my order ready for pick-up right on time. I got the grilled chicken Pho to go, which is risky because 'to-go' meals can be skimped on since people don't tend to complain on meals to go from their house. I was NOT disappointed. They piled up all the goodies. Extra Sriracha, jalapenos, cilantro and basil. Lots of chicken and noodles and just a touch of sprouts (they are my least favorite Pho item). The broth was fragrant, flavorful and by the time I got home 45 minutes later, still hot. I put it all together and enjoyed some of the best Pho I've ever eaten locally. HIGHLY recommend.

Staff was nice, attentive and the tables and restaurant seemed very clean. We ordered pho, chicken summer rolls and a grilled chicken rice plate. The broth didn't have a lot of depth. It was fine but not enough to warrant a return. The grilled chicken was not exactly grilled. It tasted more like boiled chicken in a sauce and it was very sweet. I will keep looking for other pho restaurants to try. We have visited I Love Pho and Square Lotus in the Factoria area for probably 2 decades so need a change sometimes.

We ordered the wonton soup with ramen noodles, which was quite good and comforting. The shrimp fresh rolls were also good, fresh, and flavorful, though they definitely could have used a lot more peanut sauce--having more would have made them much better. One downside that's hard to ignore was the cleanliness. The floor was extremely dirty, and it appeared that when tables were being cleared, food was simply swept onto the floor. The edges around the tables, walls, and planters were also very dusty and dirty. It honestly made us wonder what "extras" might be making their way into the food. The food itself was solid, and there's definitely potential here, but the cleanliness and slow service took away from what could have been a much better experience. With better attention to hygiene and pacing, this could easily be a five-star spot.

It was delicious, so says my wife who likes tom yum. But I do not like tom yum, so my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. In summary. It's fine to be creative, but label and describe that in the menu. I'm sure those dishes both taste great to someone. Not I. I wanted safe, so I got two things I loved, and both were lies.

Luckily I saw Pho T & L was open and I've had this place saved for a while so this was the best timing to try them out. We arrived and it was pretty busy and we weren't sure if we seated ourselves or someone else seats us as it took a few minutes for us to get noticed. After a little of standing awkwardly near the entrance, someone noticed us and motioned us to sit near the check out area which you do need to go up and pay rather than wait for someone to drop off a check. We were given waters and menus and given a decent amount of time to decide what we wanted. My friends got a lemonade with tea, Thai tea, shaking beef and combo vermicelli while my boyfriend got the shaking beef and egg rolls and I got the Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls. My boyfriend got his egg rolls and I didn't get my spring rolls until after everyone's' order came in so I have a feeling that the employee who took our order forgot or the kitchen forgot. There was no apology or anything for it either. I got my food first, after several minutes the shaking beef came out and after another a while my friend got his vermicelli bowl. Luckily we weren't pressed for time but it made it awkward as we didn't get our food at the same time and it took a bit to get them. I am a slow eater so I guess it worked out that I got mine first but I also didn't receive my spring rolls until I brought it up once we received everything else. The food was phenomenal and our friends said their drinks were perfect too. I did enjoy my Bun Bo Hue, though I did make it a bit more spicier with their chili oil. They have plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate all party sizes. They do have a bathroom but you have to go through a long, scary hallway to get to it. The tables have probably the cutest container for their chili oil but I appreciate that they have napkins, sriracha, hoisin, and utensils on the table. The employees don't really check in often and they didn't really come by to fill our waters until we were down with our meal. The service was also pretty much non-existent, it wasn't rude but just felt rushed and cold.
