Pho Alderwood

We used to come here pretty often with my family but after my last experience here, I will not be returning. They gave us the wrong order and when I tried to explain to the older man that took our order and brought it to us that it was incorrect he argued with me and insisted that I was wrong. At one point he was even yelling insisting that I was the one who told him the wrong thing. He finally took it back and corrected it but was very upset over it. I later saw him doing the same thing with another customer as it seems like the same thing happened - incorrect order and he was arguing with them. A younger guy was at the register and I asked him for a box and he seemed irritated that I was asking for something and the box he gave me was dirty and had pieces of old vegetables in it. When I asked for a replacement, he again was acting very annoyed by my request. I ordered a sandwich to go for later and when I opened it, the sandwich was a mess and it looked like someone just threw it together. The service here was never great in the past but we would come here for its convenient location and overall pretty good food however with the extra poor service we had this most recent time, we won't be returning again.

My person and I went to the Mall because we had a mission to embark upon within the hallowed halls of Alderweird. Since it was 10:30, and the mall opened at 11, we decided to get some food. Pho Alderwood has been my place for un-pho-gettable soup for a long time. They used to have a wonton Pho that was TDF (to die for), but that is no longer on the menu. C'est la vie, because after the food I had as a replacement, I hardly missed it.What delicious platter of deliciousness would make me repeat the word delicious 3 times? Well, buckle your seatbelts, because we're going for a ride on the flavor train! I ordered the House Special, and Boy Howdy, I'm sure happy I did. It was made with pork that was so tender, it literally melted in my mouth. It also featured prawns that were nice, tender, and sweet. All this atop of vermicelli noodles with a side of veggies, which provided some awesome texture. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the egg rolls, which were morsels of goodness! I chased all this down with some amazing Vietnamese iced coffee. It was the perfect meal, so much that I didn't even miss the wontons.All in l, it was an amazing experience, and I completely plan to return.

We are a regular customer here. Best Pho in Lynnwood. Great customer service and the food is delicious. Best beef short rib with rice. Always a 5 star in food and service.

This place does a good job at keeping guests distanced. The utensils and condiments are available at each table, but I can't say for sure that they're being sanitized after every guest.Food was good and served hot and fresh, and servings are pretty standard. Despite each available table having guests (4 out of 8 tables), the restaurant was SO QUIET that it was almost unbearable when you notice how quiet it is. It would be nice if there was some kind of soft music or something to help provide some kind of sound so guests aren't all just silently hearing others' eating noises.The server was quiet but did well on his own - service is simple and straightforward.

This is my go-to restaurant when I'm in need comfort food. The house noodle soup and their spring rolls are my favorite.

Stopped in at Total Wine and saw this pho shop. Doesn't look like much and wasn't sure if we should go in but a coworker convinced we should... and I'm so glad we did! The food was amazing. The spring rolls were fantastic and the House Special Soup was absolutely amazing! Everything so fresh and staff was so nice. Highly recommend.

Yum yum! One of my favorites in the area. I usually get takeout from here n the food is top notch n fresh even when it's delivered home. My favorites are the pork fried egg rolls and the chicken pho. So tasty! The rolls are super crisp n tasty and pretty good quantity.

Love their pho and bun every time I eat there. Service is friendly and fast. My grandmother who is a very picky eater loves it too!

Look, I love to support a family owned business, but the food has to be at least half decent for me to say something good about it. Honestly the service was fine, I didn't have issue with my order or saw anything out of the norm. So no drama with the service from my one time experience. The ambiance of the place was what you'd expect from a small pho restaurant. Nothing too fancy, but let's talk about the pho. The pho here must be a hit or miss because when I came here to try their pho for the very first time the other day, I was pretty disappointed with the broth. It was the oiliest pho broth I've ever seen. I love a little fat in the broth, but that was too much. Flavor of the broth was a bit off to me too. Like it didn't have this hardy savory flavor that you would expect. It lacked something that would give it a certain boldness to it.So I ordered a large Pho Tai Bo Vien and if you didn't know already, that's pho with slices of eye-round steak and beef meat balls. The portions for the rice noodles was pretty generous, but they were stuck to the bottom and needed to be loosened a bit in the broth. This is pretty normal-ish for the most part, but man, I never had to loosen them so hard before in my life. The meat portion seemed fairly little for a large size order. Pretty disappointed with that. Also the slices of meat was a bit raw still. Normally you'd want the broth to cook the meat and that's fine, but I expected the broth to have hit all parts of the meat to have cooked it to the point of being medium rare at least. After stirring the meat a bit, it did cook the raw areas lightly, but I'm not about doing more work to make my food edible.Later that evening, the pho definitely had me take a few trips to the bathroom. Felt like I was releasing some toxic gas out of my body. Even the morning after, it had feeling the same way also.If you enjoy this place, good for you, but I honestly don't think I can come back here for pho. Maybe some of the other items are decent, but I'd be a bit afraid to try them after having their pho.

This restaurant is a nice hole in the wall pho place. Service was decent. Food came out promptly and fresh, much better dinning-in rather than togo. It would be nice for the utensils to be provided in a different way; I wasn't sure how clean they were kept considering how the spoons were organized. Would definitely come back again!
