We stumbled upon Young Brothers Pho while in Kirkland. We got two of their dishes: the Pho Tai Chin Nam Gan Sach (their #14) and the Bun Bo Hue (their #16). The lady that helped us was super friendly and helped us right away as we came in. Let's start with the #14! The pho broth was pretty darn amazing! They nailed the broth flavor! I didn't need to add any hoisin sauce or anything to it, it tasted perfect! The broth was delightful and it hit the spot. They did not cheap out on the protein which I appreciated! (Rare Beef, Brisket, Well-Done Flank, Tendon & Tripe). This might be the best Pho in WA! Next is #16, the Bun Bo Hue (Spicy lemongrass beef soup). It was very flavorful, a little bit on the sweeter side, had a lot of meet, including oxtail, meatballs, and tendon. The meet to noodle ratio was great, and the soup base was not really spicy. The only thing missing from the traditional bun Bo hue is the pork blood and the banana leaves vegetables. But other than that, it was really good. Leaving this place, we felt fulfilled and satisfied! Definitely coming back here again to try their other dishes. I highly recommend coming here to if you want really tasteful soup and great service! read more

I stopped by on my lunch to try the pho. I've been under the weather and a nice warm bowl of pho is all I wanted. The lady was quick to place my order. I ordered a small beef pho with meatballs only. The beef pho came with plenty of meatballs, just what I wanted! The broth was delicious, not too salty , warm and comforting. The meatballs were also good as well. I don't like when there is too much tendon in my meatballs, and there was minimal tendon. The pho was quick and delicious, perfect for a quick lunch. As well as affordable! The small bowl wqs $12.50. read more

Ordered pho and some banh mi sandwiches to go and the restaurant didn't have spoons or utensils. No napkins were provided. I was taking the food to someone in the hospital, so that was an issue. The noodles were a solid block and overcooked. The sandwiches were super soggy and didn't taste good. The veggies were chopped too large and the meat was dry. We ended up throwing a lot of the food away, which I rarely do. I would not come back here again. read more

Food is so tasty! The meat portion in the brisket pho I ordered was plentiful! The grilled pork banh me was great too and didn't have huge fatty portions the way other banh me places do. Both together was $27. Kind of pricy, but worth the taste read more

High quality food. Egg roll so crispy and flavorful. Pho has next level broth and fresh basil. Superb service and good vibe! Will be back! read more

Young Brothers Pho - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Best Pho in all of Seattle. Best service as well. They are the best and take great care of you!

Ive been coming here for 3+ years, always great service and great food. Best pho in kirkland.

This was some of the best food I have ever had, and the service was amazing. The people there were some of the kindest I've ever met. I didn't have any money, but they still gave me food because they truly cared. Their kindness made my whole day better. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. I will always remember how generous they were. It showed me that there are still good people in the world read more

Great customer service, fast service. And the portions are big! Good price compared to other places. Owner is super friendly and generous Have been coming here since they opened. Gone to other pho restaurants around the area but Young Brothers Pho always the best read more

My friend recommended this to me for pho so she gives it 5 stars. I love the pho there too and also give the pho 5 stars The service and experience is the same as any other pho restaurant. So when I am in this area and want pho, I eat here. I have my fave pho restaurant in every area of town so I just go to the one that is closest. This one wins that award. :) read more

I was in the area for work. I must have poor memory or was feeling generous..... Been going here while in the area and occasionally as a destination since before they bought this location from Than bros. It was good then and often since but the lady that owns this has either checked out (since she is rarely here any more and has her kids run it) or is just being frugal. They know how to do pho but refuse, it seems, to do it well with a broth with FLAVOR. I'd love to see how much star anise and seasonings they go through making their stock each day . I'm not msg adverse nor prefer it but maybe some here would be better than what they are doing? Haven't tried their other dishes in some time since they can't get pho very tasty anymore. If you like bland pho at today's crazy prices bring your money and pile on the condiments! read more

Decently priced pho (it's rare that you see a medium pho for less than $13 nowadays), with nice decorations all around. The food itself was actually pretty substantial for the price - and they were quote generous with the shrimp on my seafood order! Broth had that nice, deep, umami flavor you often crave in a good bowl of pho. (They also have a really good chili oil to add to your meals). In terms of menu variety, they don't have quite the same as you'd see on other pho menus, but perhaps they're just trying to specialize in a few things. I think my only complaints are the interior being a little disorganized near the bathroom and the strong smell from the mopping that was happening towards the end - though to be fair, it was near closing time, so it made some sense. Overall, a pretty solid visit. read more

I came her twice now and thought it was an ok place. It's near my house so I figured I give it a try. The first time, we got 2 pho, one seafood and one combo with everything. It was very disappointing. We got it to go and didn't check our order until we got home. The combo was missing some protein such as the tendon. The seafood literally came with 2 small piece of shrimp and that's it. Oh and we did not get any veggies at all like bean sprouts etc. I figured it was an off day as it did take them a while to get our food ready so I decided to give them another try and this time got a pork banh mi. The protein was packed and filled but the veggie was not too much. So if you like your protein, then you might like this. The bread bwas not fresh, as it was chewy and the pork was sooo salty that it dominated everything else. Price was ok, not great. Service is a little slow. read more

The Kingsgate plaza has a ton of Vietnamese merchants which means there has to be a pho place. This joint will satisfy your pho craving on a chilly Seattle day. When we came, it was empty which made for fast service. Our bowls came out within minutes of ordering. I got the extra large pho tai sach (rare beef and tripe) and there's no doubt it's a big bowl. They give you tons of noodles but a little bit on the overcooked side. As far as the broth goes, it's flavorful and you really get the aroma of the star anise. I wish the noodles were a little better but it is what it is. read more

Young Brothers Pho - Large 4. Pho Tai Sach - Vietnamese Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Haven't had such a bad food in a while!! Service was very spotty! Ambiance was a ok. The girl that run the cash register is also the waitress AND she is also the cook!!! She cooks your pho!! There were 2-3 people in the kitchen standing by a pot. They neither came out nor help. The girl was also very fast! She comes lightening fast, take your order, run to go make your pho bowl ( for everyone that comes in) and that's it. You can't catch her after. I got a Large combo pho. It was just bad! Broth was cold, meat was chewy af!! Like chewy rough thin slices of meat. So weird. Noodles were overcooked. I was getting some Togo as well and within minutes after ordering, I went to change the protein in my pho. She was already cooking the noodles! Before I got my dine in pho or banh mi. Came with one slice of jalapeños. 1! Also, yesterday was a cold rainy day ( so is today). I didn't want water full of ice!! But never got a chance to ask since she never came back! So I didn't touch my water. Had to go up to pay. Then after, I got my dine in banh mi! Took about 25 minutes for that banhmi. The lemongrass chicken banh mi: literally the WORST I've ever had!! It has some dark juices. And the veggies pickle smells so bad!! Like so ratchet bad. Horrible! Naturally.. I dumped it! What a waste. I tend to forget the names later on or confuse pho spots. So I'm writing it to remind my future self! Still tipped her even though service was non existent. She was cooking a bunch of Togo orders. I get that staff shortage but this was a next level. One person running everything! It is bound to fail. The banh mi though. Not sure what it was! Just so bad!! Not edible bad. I wish I went next door to Hello Banh mi instead but I was running very short on time! read more

I learned Young Brothers Pho in Kingsgate, Kirkland suffered a bold break-in, where the robbers broke through a wall from the adjacent empty storefront. Insane! They lost quite a bit valuables. Of course, that means we have to go and buy some food. We ordered a couple of pho from them today. First, their prices are very, very reasonable. I was impressed. Second, the food is generously portioned. The pho sizes come in S, M, L, and XL. My size small was plentiful for me. Hubby's size large was huge. Third, the ingredients are very good. The raw beef slices were particularly beautiful. I thought the pho broth is a touch sweet, but hubby didn't taste the sweetness. He loved his meal, and I'm giving the full 5 stars from his assessment. It might be 4 stars from me, but the combination of prices and ingredients' quality is enough to push it to 5 stars. It might be a mix-blessing that they were robbed. In return, a FB restaurant support group is rallying behind them, and we have a new local place for pho. Our food: #12 - size L - Pho Tai Chin Nam Gan - Rare Beef, Brisket, Well-Done Flank, Tendon #15 - size S - Pho Tom Cua Ca - Shrimp, Crab, Fish-balls read more

Had the banh mi and it was BUSSIN. The egg with the chicken was so scrumptious. This place has a very home-y vibe and it is located right next to an ice rink and a gourmet latte- so convenient! It is right at the border of Kirkland and Woodinville. Will be back soon! read more

First Pho place that was similar to east coast pho, the broth was delicious. Also ordered summer rolls but was disappointed in their peanut sauce. Overall, this will be my go to place! read more

A place that has good veggie pho option! Was craving a bowl of pho and so decided to give this new place a try. Ordered a take out from this place. They are located in a strip mall. The food was packed well. Tried the veggie pho 4/5 The pho had a hearty and warm broth with silky smooth noodles. Had good proportion of veggie , tofu ,herbs, noodles and broth. I really enjoyed my hot bowl of pho with Sriracha drizzled on top. The herb added great freshness to my delicious bowl of pho. Lemongrass TofuBanh mi (3.5/5) - the vegetarian version of vietnamese banh mi sandwich with marinated tofu, pickled veggies , baguette was okay. I missed the sourness on the veggies and I wish they were a little heavy handed on the cilantro or the lemongrass (I didn't get any lemongrass flavor) It was a good sandwich but the banh mi flavor or even the lemon grass flavor was missing in the sandwich bite. read more

This is one of those Vietnamese joints that hide in the corner and yet, has a nice following. I keep waiting for it to blow up in popularity. It's everything you want in a family owned and operated Vietnamese restaurant. For the time you are there, you're in their living room and it's been a joy getting to now the owners and their young adult children. The food is great and the big star is the Pho broth! The broth in Pho is EVERYTHING and Young Brothers make a broth worthy of swooning over. It's a labor of love and they're proud of it. Justifiably so. Another gem: their house made potstickers that come with most sublime dipping sauce. Add some Vietnamese coffee on a warm day and that experience comes close to perfection. read more

TLDR: homey bowl of noodle soup. Let me just start off by mentioning the fruit flies hovering about, despite the excellent food safety rating. It is slightly unsettling to think about, especially in the back where we can't see. Regardless, the food tastes good and seems fresh. Shared parking lot. If you park shop front, there is a 30 minute time limit. Typical pho diner setting. Utensils and sauces all provided at your table. Service: seat yourself, you will be watered, order taken at the table, walk up to counter to pay. Spring Rolls with Tofu: pretty good lettuce to vermicelli ratio. Generous thick cut tofu. Pretty filling app. Kudos to them for using romaine lettuce and not iceberg. Peanut sauce is ok--I've had better but it still tastes good. Pho #9: soup is a bit on the bland side but is more palatable when you add the basil and lime. A good "home cooked" feel as opposed to the overly flavored soups from other places. Amount of noodles is really generous and the lime is oh so juicey--if you've read my previous reviews about limes, you'd know how I feel about a good fresh lime slice! The basil is also very fresh with no imperfections on the leaves. read more

Thank you for the lovely pho. We went there around 2.30 pm. It wasn't busy. We ordered No. 14 in medium size (it was pretty big for me). We will be back. **MSG Allergic, please avoid. read more

Ordered their fried rice and ended up with lots of dry hard crispy rice in it. The rice that you got from leaving it uncovered.

Dang, I love photo! Luckily, I have lots of opportunities to try out different faux joints in the greater Seattle area since I travel around doing home visits in King and Snohomish County's. I have to say that this little mom and pop joint in the Kingsgate area. Strip mall is absolutely delicious. The broth is rich and fragrant, things come out, almost instantly, and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. There's nothing fancy about this place, super casual and delivering delicious food at a fair price. Don't hesitate to try this out! read more

The broth is over limed, tastes more like chicken than beef, high on the grease scale, and lacking in other aromatic flavors. The spring rolls and peanut sauce was OK. The cha gio (egg rolls) were over wrapped and too little filling. The filling was pretty decent, but there just wasn't enough of it. It is served with sweet and sour sauce, and I struggled getting the fish sauce dipping sauce. The meat for the pho tai was pretty meh. The noodles nearly fell apart after separating them. read more

Love this spot! I'm Vietnamese and I'll judge a spot by the staples (eg the pho and the egg rolls). It's a slam dunk and will be going here for our Vietnamese fix. read more

I have been coming here for quite a while even when it was under a different name. My favorite thing in the menu involves rare beef and their prices were quite reasonable. But the last couple visits the prices have increased and they also add for to go orders. I can understand that the prices have increased just everything else these days. But the quality of beef ha dropped significantly. If i am going to pay the increased prices I want good quality and indo not want tough meat. There are other places in the near vicinity that are about the same prices and have better quality. I do not see coming back since why pay good money for poor quality meat in your Pho read more

I'm always trying new shops, and I stopped in Young Bros. It is a small store front, clean, friendly and fast. I was surprised, it was like pre pandemic... full of meat and tasty! Not overly priced, EvErYtHiNg has gone up, and well worth the money. I will go back! read more

Still enjoy the chicken pho' but found Pho 175 and others have less dry chicken. Young bros chicken is so dry these days, not sure if they buy prepared chicken or not. However Pho 175!is way better now read more

Surprised how this place has good reviews. It's all about the broth when it comes to pho. This broth was bland even after adding the Nuoc Beo. There's other pho places with better broth. Save yourself time and money by going anywhere else. The service was good but I don't review service read more

I arrived at 8 to eat in, but was told I could only get take out despite supposedly it not closing until 9 pm. Strange, and kind of inconvenient, but...whatever, I guess. Then the broth wasn't put into the bag correctly, so it spilled all over (...this was part of why I wanted to eat in...). But, okay. Could still salvage this...poured the broth + food into containers and... Extracted a massive plastic bag, that somehow ended up with the food. Stopped eating. This is just weird and gross. Will NOT eat here again. read more

I came here to give this Pho restaurant a shot because a lady at the Kirkland Caribbean Casino said it was the best around the area. Though I didn't disagree with her (since there aren't many many options around here), this place had bowls that were oddly shaped where the bottom of the bowl is more narrow and there is not ENOUGH pho broth! That could potentially count as a sin for pho [sorry, I know I'm a pho snob]! Nonetheless, this allowed the noodles to soak up the limited amount of pho broth served - and they gave a TON of meat.. not sure how many ounces, it felt endless. I would say this restaurant is OK. Perhaps they'll take the constructive feedback, provide bigger bowls for more soup and I'm sure the meal would be much more pleasant! Would be open to trying this again in the future upon improvement as it is conveniently located by the casino. read more
