Pho & Chill

The food and service was so good! We came in to grab a quick bite to eat and left finding a new regular place for us to grab food from. I asked for chili peppers on the side because I love spicy food and they cut some up and brought it out from the kitchen for me, as pictured. The bread was so good I think they make it here or something. Would recommend to the hungry and looking for stability in their food lives haha. My wife got the bun Bo hue - absolute banger with depth. I got the bangs mi chao - super filling and comes with so many things you eat with your banhmi.

Love the food here. Everything is tasty and fairly priced. It's a bit far from me but it's worth the drive! My favorite dish is the beef salad it's refreshing but still filling. I still crave it sometimes. Lots of seats with friendly staff. Their drinks are great but on the sweeter side though.

Yum! We were planning to go to the Korean restaurant nextdoor, then we saw this place. The food and drinks are amazing! I went back the next day (today), and I'm thinking about going tomorrow! I wish I could tell you what I ate, but couldn't pronounce it even after the server told me. Everything was good!

It's a HUGE improvement from the previous Vietnamese restaurant in this location. It's in a very rundown strip mall, but they have done a great job of brightening up and attractivising the place. The menu and the food is also a part of the improvement. Bo Kho is always on my radar. I'd love to find one as good as at a now closed Seattle spot. This one is very good. The soup is rich and flavorful. The beef has a good mix of connective tissues. I just wish a little fat was left on. The baguette that comes with rocks. They bake them here and when they're piping hot, it's wonderful. I also like it with noodles, so I'll have it next time. It's nice to find broken rice served at restaurants. Rice farmers used to keep it for themselves while they sold the premium whole grains. It's harder to prepare properly because its easy to overcook. Theirs was nicely prepared. The Pork Chop was deliciously marinated and grilled. The shredded pork skin was a garlic overload for me, but most people would love that. Pho n Chill is going into our Rotation Collection. They will see much more of us.

We found this place by chance and gave it a try! The space is small but cozy. They had a good variety of choices, we ordered the Bun Bo Hue, Meatball pho and spring rolls. They all had great flavor and ample portion size. We also orders the Cafe Trung(Egg Coffee) and its is delicious! The service was friendly and inviting. The only thing I would say that might improve their popularity is if they are able to get a bigger space.

I love coming here to pho and chill :3 The pho here is so hearty and filling. They do not skimp out on the meat here. I like that the meats are slightly undercooked so when it when it comes out to your table, the broth heats up the meat evenly which helps preserve the consistency of the meat without making it taste chewy and overdone. The pho comes in a sizesmall or large. The portions are very big even for a small. They have an extensive menu with all kinds of Vietnamese cuisine. They recently updated their menu and they have some new dishes, including bo kho. Every time I'm here, I'm always in the mood for pho so I haven't had a chance to order much of their other dishes, except for the rice cake dishes and the bubble tea drinks. Everything has tasted delicious so far! The owners are hard at work and they take your order and serve the food promptly. Satisfied with the service overall. This is one of my favorite casual, authentic Vietnamese restaurants in the north end :)

In short:They took the best local pho spot, remodeled, made it a pho spot again, and it's even better. Great pho, great banh mi, and page after page of street food, too. Awesome. In long:This place was the local institution for pho. You can go a mile or two in any direction and find more pho spots that have their own army of regulars, too. I have tried them all and this was my favorite. I moved a little closer to this neighborhood 6 years ago and it was the first place I went the first day I lived over here. Hearing that the owners needed time to be with their little kids was sad news for me. I still miss them, but the pho is damn near as good as ever. It's a little strip mall just north of 525 on 99. Lots of car traffic. The mall itself is getting a little beat-up from time and wear, but it's nice inside. You always find parking. This place never had a big dining room. They added a rail with stools and a much bigger counter, so even with all new, slightly-smaller tables and chairs, it's still PACKED in here even when there are no customers. It's *nice* though--new flooring, new paint, big TV, new everything. Homey place to get homey food. The staff are super friendly and you can tell they've paid attention to every detail. PhoThey nail everything--tender meat, flavorful meatballs, chewy noodles. The broth is clear and a little on the sweet side. The only thing they're missing here is that little extra bit of balance in the broth flavor, but otherwise everything about the soup is as good as the old place.Banh MiI've had a few of these delivered. Yesterday was the first time I visited in person, and didn't try banh mi fresh from the kitchen. But I vouch for them. All the tasty pork, good pate, crunchy veg, everything you want. Street FoodWe haven't tried the snails, but we're getting there. We've had mini-pancakes, crepes, and other stuff that has all been amazing.Hot Green TeaThey bring out steaming-hot water, sugar packs, and your own unopened pack of Costco green tea. It's just fine for sure; what really stands out is the clear single-serving just-for-you approach. The dining room here seems at first to have a casual, pho-shop vibe, but the menu is way more like a family-style restaurant where everybody comes in together and chows down from all over the menu. Then you realize that everyone is so nice and friendly and everything is so carefully put together that the whole vibe is all about community and family. It just has a casually welcoming feel right off. I miss the smiling faces of the old owners, but we have everything we could want and more from their replacements. I love this spot every bit as much as ever.

I am so surprised that this place is not more popular. I ordered to-go because of how late it was but was so in love with all the food I ordered and the Ube! They made my under super quick and even though the shop is small, it is so welcoming and pleasant. Can't wait to return!

Very potential restaurant with great choices for food. However they need to improve the service and drink. We came around 11.10 a.m like second customer in the store but the service pretty slow. Sat there and waited for like 20 minute without offering the water even the customer came after us has gotten their water already. I ordered Pho, it was good but my husband plate the lamb was raw inside. Maybe they need to cook slightly longer to bring out the taste of lamb otherwise will smell quite gamy. But the sauce over the lamb and egg was really delicious!The drink was not the best if you don't wanna say bland. Can't taste the mango and matcha at all. Just like milk alone. Well you can see by the color of the drink. I don't know others will taste better or not.Service , 3/5 Food variety, 5/5 Food taste, 3.5/5 Drink taste, 3/5 Cleanliness, 4/5

This restaurant is easy to miss if you don't know it's there, tucked among a small line of stores near a gas station, this place is a little gem. The interior is small and nothing fancy, but clean and bright. Each time I have been in, I am greeted warmly. The staff is very friendly. I went in tonight and ordered several sides to try and was not disappointed. The calamari is covered in a buttery, light crust and the inside has just the right amount of chewiness to it. It is served with an amazing dipping sauce (I couldn't tell what it was). The fries were crispy and hot with a hint of saltiness. They were served with ketchup. I decided to try the Bánh Khot, which is like a little pancake cup with shrimp and scallions. This is served with a sweet and sour fish sauce. Having never had this dish, I wasn't sure what to expect but like everything else it was amazing. The tofu báhn mì is a good size and it's packed with tofu and veggies. I've also tried the egg rolls and they are delicious. Crispy and hot each time. One order is 8.75, and you get five egg rolls. You have to give this place a try, the food is outstanding and the service is wonderful. I'm so glad to have this small business so close.
