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.

Strip of plastic in comparison to tripe
TrailBlaze R.

Ordered #14 to go and was told that tendon was unavailable, before I suggested to replace extra brisket for tendon they hung up. When I prepared my bowl of soup, 1 - I did not request any meat balls which tastes rotten and 2 - onto my second serving, the minute I ate tripe, I knew and felt that something wasn't edible and fished out what I was chewing on. It happened to be a long strip of plastic that was as transparent as tripe. (As seen in photos) This restaurant deserves no stars and must be very precise when handling food. Poor service and poor food handling. I do not recommend this place at all.

Steak pho large bowl
Jake H.

Consistent! Consistency can be hard to come by at Pho spots, especially with the broth specifically. This place always comes correct never had a bad bowl. The older man who's always there when I go is just so nice and welcoming. The Fred Meyers next door is where we do our grocery shopping. So this is the PERFECT spot for a quick bowl after shopping, or great for that hangover cure in the morning. Do it Pho the world!

Anchovies & Salt

I've been hearing a lot about Anchovies and Salt, glad I finally made it out! It's located in…read moreRenton right off the water, so you get a beautiful view of Lake Washington if you sit outside. Parking is tough; there's barely any street parking. Park in the garage and then validate your parking; it looks pricey but it's completely free if you validate it. I love the attention to detail on the menu. It's split by region, which is cool - I am not familiar with Vietnamese regional cuisines, so scrolling through the menu is a learning experience for me. - Northern crab rolls: 2/5, felt a bit heavy for an app - Beef skewers: 5/5, really nice sauce - Golden pho pillows: 4/5, interesting concept and I liked the pillows - Water fern cakes: 4/5, another interesting concept - Hanoi pork vermicelli: 3/5, generally good but didn't feel special - Fish sauce caramel coffee: 5/5, I quite enjoyed this Overall, the food was good. I wasn't impressed with the service, though. We ordered 3 starters, a small dish, and a main dish. All our food came out around the same time, randomly... which led to our food getting cold because we couldn't eat fast enough. I was disappointed that they didn't think through the serving order. I was also served the wrong drink; of course they corrected that. And finally, perhaps because we sat in the back, it was really hard to get our server's attention at the end! I'd definitely come back despite that. The food was good and it's such a pretty location.

I actually came here when they first opened, and unfortunately it wasn't good at all. To be fair, I…read moreknow new restaurants often have some hiccups in the beginning, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed things would improve over time. Recently, I kept hearing from people that it had gotten a lot better, which is why I decided to bring my mom here for Mother's Day since she loves Vietnamese food. Overall, I would still describe this visit as pretty mediocre. It was not terrible, but it was definitely not worth the price point in my opinion, especially after spending over $400. There were a few dishes I genuinely enjoyed. What we ordered: Liked / okay: * Pho-spiced ribs: tender and flavorful, but expensive for what it is * Lemongrass pork belly: the standout dish. Crispy, juicy, and very flavorful * Shaking wagyu salad: the beef was tender, but it needed more salt. It could benefit from some more oyster sauce or fish sauce * Water spinach with garlic: Good * Southern pork egg rolls: Crispy and enjoyable, but the dipping sauce tasted watered down and lacked flavor Didn't really enjoy: * Clay pot fish: overly sweet and quite fatty. The fish itself was tender * King salmon sour soup: also very sweet. It needed more acidity and sourness, like tamarind * Villagers pork belly: the only noticeably salty dish. It had a strong porky fermented flavor that was good, but it really needs rice and fresh vegetables like cucumber to balance it * Lemongrass clams: fairly plain. The dipping sauce was the same watered-down sauce as the egg rolls * Calamansi margarita: extremely sour and overpowering * Spiked coconut with rum: it was warm, which made it less enjoyable Overall, most dishes leaned too sweet for my taste. Southeast Asian food is usually a balance of sweet, spicy, salty, and sour. Here, the sweetness often overpowered everything else. There were also quite a few items sold out when we arrived around 5 PM. I was not sure if they had been sold out for a while or just for the evening. As for service, ordering is done through an iPad. The first one to two rounds of food came out quickly. However, anything we ordered afterward, like extra rice or additional sides, either took a very long time or never came at all. We also tried using the call function on the iPad, but no one came over. I am not sure if they were short staffed or if the system was not being monitored. The restaurant itself was not busy at the time. Since many of the entrées are meant to be eaten with rice, this disrupted the flow of the meal quite a bit. At one point, we just ate everything without rice because we were hungry and did not want to keep waiting. That said, the staff we did interact with were very kind. Overall, I do not think I would come back for a full dinner again. I might stop in just for happy hour drinks and a few small bites since they have a nice water view!

Happy Autumn - Pho Thai

I used to live in Renton and then a number of years ago, moved to Covington and discovered that the…read morefew Pho places in Covington ALL have a food handling rating of OK or worse. 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.

The broth had a good depth of flavor, the noodles were cooked well, and the variety of meats made each bite a little different. It felt like the kind of bowl that hits the spot whether you're sick, hungry, or just in the mood for something warm and filling. The mango smoothie was refreshing and creamy, and it paired nicely with the savory dishes. The Hawaiian wings had that sweet-savory thing going on, and the pork skewers were tender and flavorful with a nice grilled char. Altogether, the meal felt balanced, filling, and very satisfying. Pho Asia is a good choice when you want a casual, no-fuss meal with plenty of flavor and generous portions. I'd definitely come back for the pho alone, but the wings and skewers made it even better.

The broth was darker than the usual pho I've had in the past but it still tasted very well seasoned and delicious! I always get a small size no matter what pho place I'm at, the portion was good for the price here unlike other pho places!

We stopped by Papaya in Renton for a late lunch/afternoon snack. The restaurant was fairly empty at…read morethe time, yet the service was surprisingly slow. 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.

Consider moving it to the title, but I won't dock you for my illiteracy. The spicy pho broth, however, is basically tom yum. It is not spicy. It was sour. 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.
