Local Pho

Five star for the hospitality. The waitress(probably the owner) made me feel like home. She offered us the corn tea and explained what it is to us. Combo pho: 4/5 comes with big portion, the broth the meat were tender but the noodle was a bit over cooked.I'd definitely come back again!!

My friend and I wanted pho on a cool evening in Seattle. There was enough seating inside and some seating outside. It's classic downtown seattle so be aware of your surroundings. Street parking. We were greeted upon arrival and sat at a four top table. The menu is simple which made it easy to decide. We opted for the veggie and tofu pho and the combo pho. All the add in ingredients (basil, sprouts, jalapeños) were fresh. There is only one size pho which I wish there were two options. I do agree the price is a little high but such is life now. Everything was good, nothing special but I do want to come back and check out other items on the menu. They were very busy and service was good despite the business.

hubby and I were craving some fun after hearing about how good Seattle's is. This one was closest to our hotel so we decided to walk there. The lady was so nice she seated us immediately. We got waters and hot tea. The restaurant had a few other people in it and it was really clean. Tea was nice it was almost like a buckwheat. we both got pho he got the combo and I got something with like well done beef and meatballs. Everything was so fresh and so tasty especially on a cold night. We literally got back home earlier today and we were talking about how much we were craving this place. Next time we come back to Seattle, we will definitely be sure to eat here again.

Ambiance was not super nice but it was decently clean and the owner lady was super nice and attentive. My friend and I both ordered seafood pho and a side of egg rolls. Egg roll was not really good so I wouldn't recommend it. However, seafood pho had so much fresh seafoods in it and the broth was awesome. Visiting from LA, I did not have much expectation about the food quality from Pho restaurants in Seattle but it was a very nice pleasant surprise. Will definitely visit this restaurant again if I visit Seattle again in the future.

tldr: I like it, but objectively local pho is just another pho restaurant. Nice for one of those cold rainy Seattle days though! As a pretty regular customer at local pho, im honestly not quite sure what keeps bringing me back here. Its solid food, but not the best pho I've ever had. Perhaps it's just the rainy Seattle weather which makes local pho such a great place to have dinner.This time I came to local pho, I ordered the rare beef + meatball pho with extra vegetables. Thw vegetables were gave the soup a nice crunch, as not too overcooked and had a good diversity of texture. The meatballs were not particularly flavorful, but they were a solid addition to the dish. Especially when paired with the hoisin sauce, which made up for the meatballs lack of flavor. The rare beef was pretty good as well, and was a solid addition to the bowl of pho when dipped in the hoisin sauce. Noodles were good too, with hoisin sauce.I'm sure you're seeing a pattern here: the star of the dish was the hoisin sauce. Everything was good enough to allow the rich sauce to shine, but mediocre on its own.Nonetheless, I quite enjoy coming here, as the food is solid, service is fast, and the food is fairly cheap. Would reccomend, just don't get your hopes too high!

3.25/5This is your reliable pho place. In terms of flavor, it's the most imaginable taste of your generic pho place. This place ain't no different. However, they are reliable, ingredients always taste fresh. Their bah mi is also tasty. Why didn't I give it higher? I ordered extra noodles paying $2.5, yet I feel like I just have the normal portion. Anyways, I would come back.

What happened to this place? I used to be great, now a C minus. Weak broth overcompensated by the star anise, unbalanced, one-dimentional. Joltingly bad music: Friends themesong seguing into Jessie's Girl. Styrofoam to-go containers. Spring rolls good.

Great, friendly service! Food comes out very timely. I ordered the Combo Pho which is a Pho Dac Biet (all of the cuts of meat, including meatballs). The only thing missing was tripe. I felt the broth lacked depth of flavor although the aroma was fragrant. I asked for some fish sauce and usually I do not add hoisin or sriracha to my pho broth but I went for it this time to give it a boost. The beansprouts and Thai basil were fresh! The noodles were slightly overdone (becomes a bit gummy). But overall the portion was colossal and well worth the $14.99 price per bowl. There's plenty of seating for small groups 2-6. Bathroom provided in the back for customers. Quaint, delightful Vietnamese restaurant in Belltown.

As I was feeling under the weather, thought of having some pho. This was the only place opened till 9 pm and I am glad I did try it. I ordered Chicken Pho with Beef Broth. The broth was flavorful and chicken was soft and tender. I will definitely go back again! The service was quick too! The quantity was great as well!! I came out as a happy kid

Seattle pho is something I have missed ever since I moved away, especially when I am feeling under the weather. On a recent trip to visit friends, I found myself a bit under the weather and knew exactly what I wanted for dinner. I took the recommendations of others who said this place had the best veggie pho, and I was not led astray! This was seriously the best veggie pho I've ever had! It was fresh and flavorful, and the tofu was cooked just right. I liked that there was an option for a larger broth, as the broth is really my jam when it comes to pho. I even found the noodles better than others I've had, and I can only explain that as the right ratio of broth to noodles. All in all, this is a great spot, and I would definitely get more pho from them when I am back in Seattle!
