We were pleasantly surprised by our experience at Phoholic that we ate there back to back. The restaurant itself is simple and unpretentious nothing flashy or upscale but that's part of its charm. It's a comfortable place where the focus is clearly on serving great food rather than creating an elaborate dining atmosphere. The pho was excellent, with a rich, flavorful broth, tender meat, and fresh herbs that brought everything together perfectly. The portions were generous, and every dish we ordered was served fresh and hot. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Additionally, the vermicelli bowl and the banh mi sandwiches are exactly how my mom made them. If you want authentic, delicious Vietnamese food served in a relaxed setting at a great value, Phoholic is absolutely worth a visit. We'd gladly return the next time we're in the area. read more

House special noodle soup was superb! The broth was so flavorful and has umami bursting. It had beef balls, brisket, tendon and eye round steak. Also had the springrolls and the peanut sauce was the perfect pair. Owners and servers were so nice and friendly. read more

A nice, small shop with incredible food. What I ordered and by my tryings of my family's dishes everything was absolutely perfect, as well as being rather new to me. I had never had vermicelli before, and I couldn't be happier that I decided to order it because everything about it was outstanding. Wonderful milk tea as well. Food came out quick and the waiter had a nice personality. Lovely establishment. read more

This hit the spot for a cold day in Oregon. The portions were generous. I had to have my husband finish my pho bowl. He said his rice plate with pork/egg was delicious. We are gonna go back tmrw so he can get the vermicelli bowl and I want to try their beef rib with rice (also new on menu). The people there were nice and the ambiance I would say is typical and casual. read more

Authentic Pho. Excellent spring rolls. Nice sized portions. Great service. Worth giving a try on a cold rainy day.

We came for their soft opening today and the food was so good! We tried their Chicken Pho and Lemongrass pork Banh mi. The broth was amazing and the Banh mi was super good. The service was good and the ambiance felt family owned. We especially enjoyed their drinks! I got the Bac siu and my friend tried their brown sugar boba drink, I highly recommend trying their beverages out. Everyone was nice and I definitely see a bright future for this newly opened restaurant! read more

Amazing service, generous portions, lovely music and ambiance with incredible food! (Omg the broth!!!!) I will be back whenever I'm in Seaside! read more

Had hopes for this place but the broth wasn't good. Felt like they used more powder or paste than low and slow simmer of bones. The noodles were on the skimpy side as well at $20 a bowl. Space was adequate. Service was fine. read more

Solid spot for takeout. We ordered pho ga and beef with rice. No complaints and would definitely return if in the area. Thank you.

Pleasantly surprised with the flavor, portions sizes and prices! Coming from a Vietnamese.

As me and my children sit, and eat our leftovers I wish I had taken pictures of the food to post. This is the best the best pho and bahn mi I've had in a long time. And we eat Vietnamese food a couple times a week! And the owners were extremely friendly. We will be returning to seaside very soon for this spot. read more

The chicken broth is SO hearty and delicious. Generous portion size and friendly/attentive staff. Will come back with my family! read more

The food was perfect! I've always said Pho is an art work and Phoholics knows what was up. Visiting from Southern California and what a Gem to find. The Service was fast friendly and very helpful. I definitely recommend to stop here if you're in the area. read more

The family and I went to Phoholic and Cafe on our last beach trip. This restaurant does not disappoint. It has some of the best short ribs and pho that we ever had. The service was amazing! The waiters were so kind throughout our time there. They really treat you like you're family. This place was awesome overall. The food was exquisite. The workers were so friendly. We will definitely go back when we're back in the area, and we recommend it for you and your family, too! read more

Food is Amazing! We ordered way too much... if there is such a thing. We got the Spring Rolls, they come with peanut sauce. Cut and ready to share! The house special popcorn Chicken with crispy fried basil. Chicken is hot, crispy and seasoned so well. Was topped with light garlic powder & paprika yum! For the Banh Mi we got the Lemon Grass pork. Pork is tender. Bread is fresh and has a crispy bite. Last but not least we got the pork & rice dish comes with a bed of fresh veg. With the vinegar sauce to dip- so good! They have light music for ambiance but not loud at all. Family friendly. Staff all had smiles and I was checked on many times and given water refills. read more

Pretty descent Pho. Not the best I have ever had but the most expensive. A few tips to help them out. First you look closed from the outside. Walking up in daytime I couldn't tell if you were open. Second you should reduce the Pho size by a 1/3 and Reduce the Price. You're pretty much a lunch place and prices should reflect that. You are not a fancy sit down place. Pho should range from $12-$15. That is right about what you would pay at Nekst in Astoria. You could probably shrink your menu slightly to help lower costs. Ditch anything people don't order. I suspect tendon will not be very popular. The smaller the menu, the lower your costs. Your broth was OK but it seemed to be missing something. Maybe add more Fish Sauce? That's my 2 cents. If you fix your pricing I will go all the time but at $18.50 a bowl, it is way too expensive to go all the time. read more

Opening up a pho restaurant in a place with one on practically every corner, you'd think they'd aspire to be the best. But they aren't. Prices are standard, more on expensive side though. I came here to eat not chat. What really got me is at the end when I asked if there was hoisin & Siracha in the bag .... Which is protocol for bahn mi.. atleast at every other place I've been. She looked me dead in the eyes and said 50 cents. "For 1 siracha?" (Packet...sirachapackettt...yes.) the food is okay, my banmi is drowning in bread and I bit into a piece of cartilage typing that. Overall, if you have a bunch of money to spend and haven't experienced an authentic bahn mi, this would be a great place to go! Edit, she charged me for 2 orders of fresh rolls???? I ordered one, the peanut sauce is COLD. I've never seen such lack of effort anywhere, the chicken is burnt in my fresh roll. But it's okay because I have this cold peanut sauce to wash it down with. 1 more edit becuase I just spent $30 on a sandwich & fresh rolls. I heard her use the microwave to make my meal, could u not have warmed up the peanut sauce (I took a pic of the sandwich but after the second edit it disappeared) read more

The wings are to die for! Reminds me a bit of Pok Pok. While that's all I had so far, I'm looking forward to trying more and hope they do well here in Seaside read more

My husband and I love Pho Soup. We stopped at Phoholic for takeout. We ordered 3 orders of Beef Pho, with Sirloin cut meat, we asked for extra meat. We met the owner, he's incredibly friendly. After a nice visit with the owner, we left to our home in Rockaway Beach. Our friend is recovering from knee replacement, one of the orders was for him. The Pho was delicious, absolutely delicious and what we hoped for. Our friend agreed, and wished we had purchased an additional order. We highly recommend. The restaurant is clean, the people kind and the soup amazing. We will return, in fact my husband has a medical appointment in Seaside, so we are stopping tomorrow. If in the area, stop by for delicious PHO. read more

We've been wanting to try this place since they opened...Man, were we disappointed. We ordered the Spring roll with grilled Pork Sausage, House Special Pho, and the combination Banh Mi. The spring rolls were not described as "fresh" I.e rice paper roll verses fried. And the Grilled sausage was a peace of lunch meat that looked like Spam just under the rice paper. They offered a variety of Bahn Mi (chicken, beef, pork, and Chinese Sausage) So we selected the combination assuming it was a combination of the four. But it was like a cold cut sandwich on a hoagie roll with pickled carrots and no jalapeño as described on the menu. What a disappointment I've had many Bahn mi(s) in the past, they were mostly on a baguette with fried pork belly or seasoned protein. As for the Pho it came in a large bowl and was a bit over priced. read more

The Pho is good, but they brought to me a missing items of my Pho, when I mentioned, they replaced and charge me extra $4. The other order which is pho with tendon and meatball, all we see is the meatballs, when I mentioned she said the tendon is really small and it's in a bowl. But it's okay since it not as a big deal until I need to use the bathroom and they showed me the bathroom is shared with the Subway sandwich store next door and smells all cigarettes and awful smells and the bathroom is not clean. I didn't use and have to go somewhere else. read more

Excellent! The best Pho in the area. Generous portions in flavorful broth. The staff are friendly and helpful. Really, really good! read more

My son begged us to eat lunch here. Food was really good. Honestly, better than I expected. We will definitely be coming back

As a tourist in seaside it was nice to see some real authentic food in the area. I was nervous I'd have to stick to pub meals everyday! The broth was amazing and I shared one bowl with my bf and it was very filling. Unfortunately after my bf and I got sick with nausea but I don't want to assume it was the food because it tasted and smelled great! read more

We went today opening day and when I tell you the food was amazing, the Pho was so good and flavorful!

Very authentic Vietnamese food and great service!! Very clean tables and environment.

We were visiting from south county on our family winter small vacation. We called ahead of time due to new years day. And it was open lady over phone was super kind. When we got to the place they greeted us with such kindness, care. Even though they were busy they gave us the best Quilty time service , food was so fresh and delicious. When we were leaving super kind lady gave us some extra flan dessert. Great place . read more

We had eye-round pho, and the chicken pho it is was delectable! Very delicious! The service was also amazing. The people were sooo nice

Very good service and very good food. Would definitely recommend if you're in town. Pho-tastic!

Pleasantly surprised with the delicious and authentic Pho. The broth was perfect. Friendly service. Egg rolls were done nicely too. They seem to use good quality ingredients in their dishes. They are somewhat expensive so we won't be going as often as we'd like, but we will definately be back! read more

Not the least expensive pho I've ever had, but it was really good (not too salty or too greasy, but just right!) and an absolutely huge portion! Waiter was attentive and we will definitely be back. read more

As someone who was born and raised in Hawai'i and of Asian descent, with a LOT of experience eating (and cooking) pho both at home and from restaurants, this spot is LEGIT!! Service was kind and attentive, but the food speaks for itself! I've tried other pho places around here, and nothing has quite "hit the spot" like Phoholic does! Tasty broth, and perfectly made noodles and sides! Their taro bubble tea was also better than any other bubble teas we've had in the area! I just had pho here last week, and am about to head back for more today, and bringing more people! This will definitely be my "go to" spot, and only wished they had a punch card, so I don't go completely broke eating here! read more
