Pho Bothell

I absolutely love their small chicken phở, extra noodle and no onion. It’s my go-​to every time we decide to eat out. Luckily my boyfriend loves it just as much as I do! I highly recommend this place to everyone. Where else can you get a great tasting and filling dinner for two under 20 $?

Enjoyed a nice bowl of phở here. This is my go to spot before I head over to the gun range down the street for my weekly shooting session. I tried just about half of their menu and everything is tasty. Highly recommended.

They have poor customer service. their phở isn’t good. if you want good phở I suggest than brothers

Love this place! I am a regular here and the owners have watched both my kids grow as i first started coming here when i was pregnant with my son who is now 4 years old. We live almost right down the street so it’s convenient, but also taste good compared to other places I’ve been.
The broth has flavor, eggrolls and springrolls are always fresh. I’ve never had a problem with them before and the owners already know what my family wants before he sets down the menus in case we change anything.

We always like coming here because it’s close, and the staff always remembers us (and our order). The broth isn’t very rich, so be prepared for a good broth, but nothing fancy. Their spring rolls and pork chop rice are also very good, can’t go wrong with some Vietnamese coffee!

Food here was really good… Service is what you pretty much expect as Asian eateries… Had the Phở Tai Bo Vien (any phở place that doesn’t have this on the menu is bad) wife had the just the regular phở tai. One complaint besides the service was the Bahn Mi was a little small compared to others, but other than that was pretty good compared to other phở places!

I had the chicken phở and pork spring rolls. Both were good and helped to make up for the lack of attentiveness by the server.

Dang good. One wouldn’t expect it giving the 0lace is dark on the outside. But. Dang good food. The phở was soooo good.

I’m not very big expert in the Phở, I have had it only few times, but Bothell Phở is very good. The one on 164^th — is the one that is disgusting. I have my own restaurant (Pizzeria) and sometimes people give you one star because you don’t deliver, or don’t have enough parking. So…

When we arrived, we found a table ourselves and were not greeted at all by the staff. The man helping us slammed the menus and water glasses on our table very rudely, as if he was in a bad mood. The food came out quickly within 5 minutes almost, and tasted great. However, the staff are not friendly at all, so don’t expect good customer service.

Best ever! Been backs many times, every time perfect. Thank u for the great prices, customer service, and amazing food!

I work in the same complex and get to see the back side of this business everyday. No one at our office will eat here, somebody tried once and got sick. The food storage shed out back is shabby and sits with the door open all day unattended. You can see it for yourself, just drive around the back. The food is then removed from the old shed and prepared by an open back door, occasionally set on the back curb for hours before being brought in for your dining delight. Once day a salad sat on the curb from before noon and was brought inside as I was leaving. Yum… Crows are wise to the operation and appear to eat the food more than any locals who know what goes on out back. Bön appetit!

Generic hole in the wall phở. Quite environment with audible interruption by the beeping of the microwave cooking every meal. Inside it looks like Azteca meets shit hole teriyaki joint. Food was ok. Price was cheap, service was expectedly terrible of a place like this. Walked in and server hovered over me until I placed my order. Brought food and never returned. Water never got refilled. Sriracha is watered down. Blasphemous.

Overall good place. Phở Ga and Iced coffee was good. Was welcomed right as I walked in. Food was ready very quickly. Very clean. Nobody checked if food was ok until I went up to the counter to pay, so I was reluctant to leave any tip. Prices are on par with all other Phở restaurants. Parking is horrible!

Worse phở i’ve ever eaten. Large bowl of phở got too much phở noodles (banh phở) but lack of beef. Soup was very bland. Service was great.

My girlfriend LOVES this place. It’s definitely a hole in the wall in a pretty seedy looking area. The service is average. I order takeout here once every two weeks and it’s always consistent.
Sadly, I’m not a big phở person, mostly because I don’t eat beef broth, but also because I’ve never been huge into soups. Tori swears by the seafood phở though, so it must be good.
I’ve ordered the vegetable fried rice here, which I do not recommend. Both times I ordered it, it tasted like freezer burn.
I do recommend the vegetarian banh mi though. It’s fresh, flavorful, and it’s only $ 3. It’s filling too! If it weren’t for that particular sandwich, I would probably rarely go here, but something about it keeps me coming back.

My husband and I came here since we were in the area. We both got the Phở Dac Biet… him a large and me a small size. Originally, my husband thought the price was decent (prior to seeing our order)
When the server came with our bowls, the only thing we were impressed was that the broth and the heat of the broth was good… my husband was disappointed that there wasn’t really any meat, and it seemed as if his «large» could’ve been a small despite the «difference» in the size of the bowl – which isn’t much.
Since I rarely eat meat, I gave him mine, but then, it was hard for me to find my meat, too since I didn’t have much to begin with…
As for the sprouts and basil that came with the dish… the sprouts were not fresh, but more wilted and when we came it was just an hour after they opened.
I’m sure probably other items on their menu are good, but I don’t think I want to come back… at least not for the Phở since we’re pretty picky on our noodle soup, and this didn’t come close.

Been back a few times since my last review and every thing is pretty much the same. The phở is pretty flavorless, but man I tell ya, the bun xeo is bomb diggity. I had it tonight and I went all, hungry hungry hippo on it. I 100% suggest anyone and everyone give it a try.
Seriously, they should rename the restaurant, Bun Xeo Bothell. The crêpe is truly Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the phở is Danny DeVito (Twins, 1988). I can’t give a 2 star when I love the bun xeo so much!

Awesome. Good phở and spring rolls. Speedy. As in get your food in less than 10 minutes and usually less fhan 5. The spring rolls are also delicious :) Great customer service.

Solid Phở and other Vietnamese food. The portions are good as well. The price is fairly standard for a Vietnamese restaurant.
There is a language barrier which often results in mis-​orders. These are hard to remedy since they didn’t understand you in the first place…
If you are looking for a quick Phở pick me up this is a fine spot in Bothell.
