It was so good I literally came back the next day to try another one... and it did NOT disappoint! If you're anywhere nearby, it's absolutely worth the drive Highly recommend!

There was some salty taste I think came from the burger but the rest was very tasty. I was super impressed how unsalted the fries were and they were cooked perfectly. Salty fries can ruin a meal and hours later you're drinking from a fire hose to manage the salty aftermath. Not these fries- they were crispy, golden, crunchy and not salty. My only issue was how long it took to get the food at 1pm on a Thursday- it was over 30 minutes.

Really great place that I didn't know was open for 10+ years in Federal Way! I also found this…read moreplace by accident since I wasn't sure of where to eat on a Friday night around 9pm. Since it was late, the place had several tables filled but wasn't a full house. There's tons of tables for groups of 2+ people, and I got seated immediately. Inside is brightly lit and very casual. With all my usual first visits to Vietnamese restaurants, I got their Thai tea and their grilled beef short ribs rice plate. That tea was standard and took a little while to prepare since staff had a bunch other delivery orders to fill throughout the night. The rice plate itself was tasty; the grilled beef short ribs looked burnt but still tasted as if they had all the seasoning as I like, and the meat still pulled off the bone easily, so it definitely wasn't overcooked. The rest of the plate is very standard but satisfying in my books. It was also quite nice chatting with the staff a little bit too on some of the dishes. This is a place I'd recommend for some good food, and they're also open slightly later compared to most other places around their vicinity, so it's also a decent choice for if you want foods little later than usual. Really happy this place gets constant traction, and I will be recommending here to my friends!

My order here will forever be the bun bo hue. It's the best one I've had, and I've had a lot. The broth has so much depth to it, and the flavor is SO GOOD. I love that their bun bo hue has a lot of sate in it, and doesn't taste just like a clear broth that some restaurants serve. It even comes with the standard pork hock and pork blood, I know a lot of restaurants may omit that. I can't recommend it enough, it's a must try!! It is a little on the spicy side though if you're sensitive to it, but it was perfect for me. The service here is quick, although the restaurant itself is a bit small. I never had to wait for long though. I'll definitely be back during my annual Seattle trip!

However, my recent visit was exceptional and they deserve a positive review! I stopped by for takeout because I was feeling under the weather and was craving some pho. I ordered the pho with steak and meatballs. When I got home, I was surprised by the generous portion! They did not skimp on the steak. More importantly, the flavors were good. My boyfriend got the broken rice with grilled chicken. He thought it was very flavorful and was also impressed by the portion. We felt that the portion and flavors were very good value, and will be back when we are craving Vietnamese food.

The basil and bean sprouts and other automatics are so fresh and crispy and crunchy The noodles are cooked to al dente perfection every time. The meat is a high-quality and is served properly, being cooked by the broth at the table.

I put in a simple order for my son & I. My son's pho & side of rice came out within 10-15 minutes. I waited for our spring rolls & my vermicelli bowl well after my son had started eating. I asked about my food just before 7pm to which I was told it was still being worked on. I paid my tab then asked a short time later that I'd like the remaining food to go. At 7:15pm I went up to the register to request a refund for the items I never received. I was asked if I had paid my bill (by the same young lady that took my payment). I handed her my receipt & she informed me that my food had been ready. It's unclear why, it was never brought out. I had told her that we had been waiting for an extended period of time to which she agreed. I pointed out that another two person table, that arrived after us, had been served their food before us. The young lady plainly told me that it was out of her control since there were new people in the back. No apology just an excuse. No one took responsibility for the disorganization in the back. I again requested a refund only to hear that she didn't know how to do a refund. I'm the end, I was given the cash for the two items minus the taxes. I've been to this establishment in the past & never have I experienced this type of situation. Hopefully, it was just a one off because they have excellent food. For now, I have no desire to return

I absolutely love coming here on my lunch breaks -- it's comforting, consistent, and always hits the spot. It looks like they may be going through a name change or rebrand. The menus are new and the name printed on them is completely different from what I remember. I wish I had taken a photo because I can't recall the new name offhand, but it seems like a change may be coming soon. I ordered from the new lunch menu and went with the red curry, subbing chicken for tofu and ordering it three-star spicy. It was so good -- rich, flavorful, and perfect for a cold, rainy day. The new lunch special also comes with two spring rolls, which were absolutely delicious and a great bonus. The portion was very filling and satisfying without being too heavy. As always, the service was great, and the food came out quickly -- perfect for a work lunch. I can't wait to come back (and I definitely will). This place continues to be a favorite.

The server…read morewas not very friendly and took their sweet time to take our order and made us wait for them to get a pen and notepad? Not sure why a server wouldn't have that on them during work. The ambiance was very dark and it was very empty. We ordered some starters, the fried calamari tasted undercooked, doughy, and very underwhelming. The papaya salad was decent, but the main entree noodle dishes were not great either. We ordered a special panang curry fried egg dish, but it ended up just being regular panang curry over rice with a fried egg very underwhelming. We ordered a green curry and the chicken was overcooked and tough. We ordered a chicken salad entree and the waiter said they overcooked the chicken and had to remake it? It came at the end of our meal as we were finishing up. Not sure how that happens, my guess is they forgot the order entirely until we asked where our salad was. It was not just me, but my whole family who all felt the same sentiment on a special night out for celebration. Save your time and money. I will not be coming back here.

Moving down south from Seattle, I wanted to find a pho spot that could be my go to and this was the spot for me. The food was great, service was top tier, very mom and pop shop but more modern and I loved it. I probably go here multiple times in a month, sometimes a couple of times in a week especially when it's cold and rainy. However, I went there a few times recently and I was sad at how the service has been lately. I'm not sure if there's new hires as I haven't seen the same girls that usually work there in a long time...the more recent waiters seemed to not know what was available on their drinks menu and did not offer to go and check, our table was met with dumbfounded looks and no follow up. On one of the days, I had ordered my usual order, and was left waiting while all the other tables who entered and ordered after me were served immediately. I had put in my order around 7:15p and did not receive my food until 7:52p. I was not checked on until I had to get up from my table and go check on my order, then it was like I was getting checked on too many times. When I had asked what happened, the waiter told me they forgot, I'm not sure who dropped the ball there. I had asked if I was going to get a discount or get comped, something, and all I was told was, "it's not my decision." The staff seemed more interested in catering to a table with a family, it seemed like they may have known them personally as a member from the table continuously got up to talk to the staff and even walked back into the kitchen multiple times, and grabbing his own to go boxes. As much as I love this place, I will not be returning.

Personally, I prefer the banh mi from Hong Kong market in the same parking lot. I'll try it again and update here if I have a different opinion next time. It's always good to try a decent place at least twice, I find.
