Great place for a quick meal - fast service, reasonable prices, and pretty standard pho!

This is a favorite of a friend. I called to double check a few things since I am gluten-free and have a beef allergy. I learned that all the pho comes with beef broth, even the chicken. The exception is the vegan pho which has vegetable broth. They did not know if the broth of either was gluten-free (even though pho broth typically is) and I can't take the chance so we couldn't have it. They didn't even want to find out if it was gluten-free. So just be aware so you don't get sick if you have dietary needs.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon after visiting the Quad at UW to witness the Cherry Blossoms bloom season to find a place to have something warm and hot to taste on a rainy forecast. Luckily there were Vietnamese restaurants nearby just by 7 min walk which was so convenient. I ordered a medium Pho Bo Vien with meatballs and I did my usual topping it off with lots of fresh mint herbs, mung bean shoots, two jalapeño slices, chili oil, tiene squeeze of lime all over my pho and noodles before making my sriracha and hoison dipping sauce for my meatball. It was crunchy and savory. The inside was not too bad more cozy and chill place rather than a traditional pho restaurant. Downside of this place is there were not any appetizers to go with my pho but hopefully in the future they could add like fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, fried fish cakes, tofu, or perhaps crunchy Vietnamese chicken salad to their menu. Overall, I liked this place deserves a 4 star for great customer service and they have vegetarian pho options available too. Thanks for a wonderful meal until next time :)

Decent pho and decent price. Service is always really quick and the broth is pretty flavorful.

Well I see lots of negative reviews at this place. However my experience were good. I just went last week, and the owner was very welcoming. The pho is hot, and delicious! It's sad that they don't offer cream puff anymore. Their cream puff used to be my favorite. This place looks bright and clean. The owner is old, friendly and speaks Chinese and Vietnamese!

This is the spot that introduced my wife and me to pho, many years ago! We, along with many of our friends, have fond memories of coming here during the cold days of winter, or during finals week when we need it some comfort in the midst of chaos. We now come back approximately once per year with our three little dudes to show them how good pho can be! There are five of us, and three smalls or two mediums are more than enough to get all of us fed and warmed up. This is the place that taught us the importance of bean sprouts, basil leaves and how delicious a little bit of lime can be in the soup. Back in the day they also used to give you cream puffs with your order. I'm not sure when that changed, but it is the sole reason that I cannot give them five stars. This spot remains the absolute epicenter of pho culinary brilliance and will forever be my first love when it comes to the delicious soul nurturing soup. Now please bring back the cream puffs!

Satisfactory! I miss pho from San Jose, CA and this soup and noodle quality hit the spot. The tendons were delicious! The beef was okay. The beef is not quite there and its pricier, 11.50 for a small, 12.50 for a medium, 13.50 for a large and there's a small extra charge to go.
