Pho Saigon

I was excited to try the spring rolls after reading good reviews. However, the tofu spring rolls are incredibly disappointing. They are extremely bland. Previous reviews mentioned a crunchy, fried component in the rolls, but mine didn’t have any. Aside from one basil leaf, it’s just a bunch of rice noodles and lettuce, definitely not worth $ 4.00.

I’ve had better. I ordered the tofu noodle soup to go, it wasn’t that great. There wasn’t enough broth and it had an odd flavor to it… cinnamon or something.
But it was loaded with veggies and the price was right, under $ 8 for a large bowl.
I may give them a second chance since they’re in my ‘hood.

What’s the point of having business hours if you never meet them? Literally half the time they are over an hour late opening. And the other half the guy serving me seems to be inconvenienced that I’m there. It’s close to my house, so I was trying to go here a lot but I’ll just find some place else.

the best phở I’ve ever had. I travel a lot and this is my all-​time favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the U.S. and Canada.

Found a hair in our spring rolls and told them. They graciously took them back and brought us fresh ones, including a new strand of hair.
My boyfriend has been coming here for awhile, and said the food was usually good, so we stayed for our phở and vermicelli. Of course, right on top of my vermicelli was another hair. Who knows what was swimming in my boyfriend’s phở!
I don’t think I will be coming back, which is sad because the people working there were nice.

There spring rolls are delicious! They have bbq pork inside and make there spring rolls pretty fat. I highly recommend there brisket phở. There soup is better than most phở restaurants I have tried.

I eat a lot of Phở and I like to take it to go. Ordered the chicken phở and it was luke warm. I live across the street so it shouldn’t go cold in 2 minutes. The chicken was in slices, not pulled chicken like other phở restaurants – like deli meat. If it was warm I would like it. I recommend the banh mi sandwich. I always get these-they’re good.

Great food, fast service, reasonable price. My wife and I have eaten here many times and always had a pleasant experience.

I’m really happy the other good reviews steered me here because I probably would have never noticed it otherwise. It really is the best phở I’ve found in this part of Shoreline/​N. Seattle, and they have tons of other meals that look delicious that I still haven’t tried because I’m addicted to the phở. They are also super friendly and give you water or tea while you wait.
I also agree with the other reviewers that, unless you have a large group, I’d stick to carry out. Everything looks clean — it’s just spare and cafeteria-​like on the inside.

This place is okay, the phở is good but not good enough to not need siracha (if it’s really good I won’t add any) at 5pm on a Wednesday I was the only one there. The guy is nice, fairly fast service. It’s slightly more expensive than what I’m used to (6.88 $ for a small bowl). Overall the place is very average, the only thing that threw me off majorly was the blaring Christian music. I didn’t mind the guy sung to it occasionally, but I prefer when people keep their religion out of their businesses. After mints are really good. Green tea flavor?

I’m *almost* glad I got a horrible, horrible cold recently because it forced me to try Phở Saigon. I’ve eaten phở at probably 8 – 10 places around Seattle, but this place blows them ALL away. The broth is amazingly flavorful. Lemongrass chicken is also very tasty. Stop reading this review and go get some phở!
(I will say that this is DEFINITELY a carry-​out place… the atmosphere leaves much to be desired…)

Second time. Still really good. Fresh broth, meat isn’t too fatty. Service is usual for a phở place. When I’m thinking of phở, this is where I’ve been heading.

I love this place! Good spring rolls and phở. The chicken they use in the phở is really tasty gristle free white meat. The broth is really good also. The dining room is big so there’s always a table open.

I used to come here and the last time I was here was back in April 2013. The food is pretty affordable and taste great. However, when it comes down to the red sauce being added to the Vietnamese sub, I hated it because I can’t stand how spicy or hot it is. I told the cashier guy that I can’t stand it. Yet, he acted like he doesn’t know what I am talking about but the bottle for it is on the tables of whoever sits there.
I love their beef noodle soup and is so delicious. Cheaper than Bellevue. That’s for sure. With a small amount of space to park, better come when you can before all the spots get taken up.

I broke one of my cardinal rules for restaurants. I let an exterior stop me from visiting and I’m a FOOL for doing so. It took my seasonal PAX East pox to get me inside and while I hate being sick, I’m glad that I finally tried them out! Now have another Vietnamese place to add to my burgeoning list of favourite local phô joints!
Anyway, first impressions: this place is a lot larger than one would think. We drove up at the same time as another car full of folks but sat on opposite sides of the restaurant from each other. Our server was friendly and speedy with menus and hot tea.
My husband ordered a chicken bánh mì and I chose a small chicken phô with extra chicken. When it hit the table, I was amazed how much chicken I received on the side. The carnivore inside me was delighted and my carb-​loving partner delighted in the crusty bread used for his bánh mì!
If the restaurant was packed with customers, the parking lot would not support all the cars. Park on a side street or park in the strip mall parking and just walk over. Also, the interior could use a bit of a thorough cleaning. It wasn’t dirty, just a nice wipe down of the walls and floorboards.

My girlfriend and I stopped in one cold, rainy night. It was almost 9:00pm and I could tell they were cleaning up to finish up their work day. I ordered thin steak phở, a bbq pork banh mi, and my girlfriend had chicken phở, and chicken banh mi. The food was REALLY good. What more can I say, try it for yourself.
The staff is very very nice. At first I was expecting the usual «Thanks for coming in RIGHT before closing» attitude but they were very welcoming and made us feel right at home even though we ordered to go. There was free tea and candies.

Great phở, and supposedly no MSG! Fast service, but not very friendly, although I have never been to a phở restaurant where any of the staff smiled. oh well.
You can get get your phở with added veggies here which is the main reason I come back here so often. the portions are great! a little more expensive than other places, but its so yum! they have lots of other items on their menu which is great too!

I come here at least twice a month and I always order the same thing: lemongrass tofu and egg rolls. The tofu is packed with flavor and there is just the right amount of lemongrass so as not to overpower the dish. You can get it over rice or noodles – I choose rice because it holds flavor better. Every so often there are too many onions in the dish, but not enough to cause a fuss.
The egg rolls are simple and nothing special, but that’s why I love them. I’ve been places where they screw up an egg roll and I’m like «how the he** do you mess up an egg roll??»
In any case, lemongrass tofu… say it with me. «Lemongrass tofu… lemongrass tofu…» =)

This place is great! We wanted Foo man dumplings but it was Monday (closed) so we crossed the street, not expecting much, but OMG WOW! The cleanest Phở restaurant place in Seattle, AND the food is great!
We had (between 3 people) a veggie Phở, Seafood Phở and the vegie Bhan Mi and fresh rolls. All above average with the Bhan Mi being one of the freshest tasting sandwiches I’ve ever had. The vegie Phở had great flavor, tons of fresh vegetables and they don’t use any MSG. The seafood Phở was good, I am not a squid fan but if you are, they don’t skimp.
Also, the guy working (owner?) was easy to talk to, welcoming and funny in a dry sort of way. If you live near by, make this your spot! If you don’t live near by, remember to stop in if you are in that ‘hood.

Their phở is a little more expensive (probably $ 2 more per bowl) than in most places. The quality is average to above average. I don’t think it’s anything to write home about, but I would probably be satisfied if I lived nearby and it was my local haunt.
It’s a clean establishment and the service is prompt.
Also, they have these little asian melon candies up at the cash register, and I do love them… *stuffs pockets full*
Oh, that’s melon flavored candy from Asia, not candy flavored like Asian melons… **HUBBA HUBBA!**
