Pho Liu

I have no idea what these 5 Stat reviews are talking about but this place is not it. It's pretty run down and smells like cigarettes. There was a huge fly on the wall next to me and it just wasn't it. I didn't even bother to stay for the food. Might want to reconsider especially reading all these top reviews.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner for the first time this past week.Upon first arrival, Pho Liu looks like your standard pho restaurant. However, once we entered through the doors, we saw that the restaurant was actually connected to a crowded bar in the back. The restaurant in the front though was relatively quiet with just a few diners.We were instantly greeted by the guy reviewers call Jimmy and sat at a table of our choice.Pho Liu has all types of pho including your standard steak, meatball, tripe, and flank pho as well as seafood and vegetarian pho options. They also have some rice and teriyaki dishes, bún (Vietnamese noodle bowls), and powdered bubble tea drinks.We ordered a large 32 (steak) ($12.99) and large 39 (steak and meatball) pho ($12.99). Like other pho places, the difference in price between a small and large bowl is $1, so customers are incentivized to buy the larger bowl.We received our orders within 7-10 minutes. The pho broth was flavorful and had good beef flavor to it. The noodles were also not overly cooked and portions were generous. They have hoisin sauce and chili oil at the table, but no sriracha which I thought was unusual.Compared to Pho Vien a few streets down, I personally think Pho Liu was much tastier. However, Pho Liu was a lot quieter with most customers just entering through to go to the bar.Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

A pho place that doesn't close till 11p and the other half off the restaurant is a bar that doesn't close till later. All the staff are really nice and the owner Jimmy is always welcoming. For the pho, the broth was okay. I ordered the flank and rare steak. The broth was quite pale and was lacking a lot of flavor. It's okay though, hoisin and sriracha to save the day! Very generous with the amount of meat they put. Price is average but their pho broth was not worth it. Their spring rolls are pretty tasty. They were tiny for the $6. Bar wise- every time I visit, the bartender is so nice! She will take care of you, and makes the tastiest drinks. They have 2 golf games, karaoke on Saturday nights, skee ball and I think dart games too. They close at 2a and it's always a good time. You'll meet a bunch of interesting locals at the bar who live around the area.

I've been going to Pho Liu for over 5 years. Great food and even better service. Karaoke is always a hit on Saturdays. I tried the pork chops today and it was delicious. Even their homemade salad dressing was super yummy!

This place is killing it with the karaoke on Saturday nights!We dropped by and ordered to-go and we were surprised at the price difference based on the photos of the menu (just added some updated images with current prices). That said, the prices were still reasonable for the portion and quality.We got 3 pho types: steak, chicken, and seafood. The pho broth here good, but it was disappointing is that they don't have separate broths for the three types of proteins. There was a generous amount of bean sprouts and basil, as well as sriracha and hoisin.We also ordered the eggrolls, which were crispy and delicious. It truly tasted homemade, like our family makes, which was familiar and nostalgic... we highly recommend it.Lastly, we ordered some of the shakes, which are less like bubble tea, and more like shaved, flavored ice... the ice wasn't blended finely, so the shakes were a little more chunky than we're used to. The flavors were good, but definitely syrup based, versus fresh fruit.We would come back and try some of the rice dishes!

Interesting place. A very dark bar on one side, and a well lit sort of storefront type restaurant on the other. Two different entrances on either side. Well, I am hoping that some of my Yelp Squad friends who read this will offer to take me to a really good pho place and teach me about what makes a good pho. Because;SoDo you know Pho?I don't knowWhere do you go?To get to knowphoSo help me gofind great phoCause what do I know?Does it show?So anyway, I did order some beef pho. And I ate it all. So, I guess it was good.So, I will err on the side of more rather than less stars and award 4.

Teriyaki and pot stickers were delicious! I can't find many good teriyaki places in the area so this was a nice surprise :)

Best pho I've had. The restaurant looks a bit sketchy when you first walk in, but don't let that deter you from trying it. I believe the second half of the restaurant is a bar. I ordered the kids teriyaki chicken, spring rolls, veggie and chicken pho. Everything was delicious. Service was quick, they took us in regardless of how late we came in. We had a late flight so we didn't arrive until around 9:20pm, it closes at 10:00pm. Kids meal was a generous portion. Spring rolls were BOMB. Chicken pho was better than any pho I've had before. Highly recommend.

Good local Burien business Tasty vegetarian phoSeems like a local hangout. Wondering if they have karaokePlace needs updatingService is ok. They do not really check in if you need anything additional

Stop by this location and noticed that it looked like a dive bar style establishment. I was craving for some pho and I never been here before as I love to eat pho. The customer service level is casual, the food weight was anywhere between 10-12 minutes. This location also has a bar side adjacent to the dining area.Started off with a dish of spring rolls that comes with the peanut sauce. Spring came with shrimp and vermicelli, as well as vegetables inside. Very casual. Tasted the pho broth, I would prefer a bit sweeter. But it was OK. I ended up, ordering some to go food, beef, short, ribs, as well as the chicken bánh mì. overall I give it a three star because the environment could use a bit cleaning and sanitizing as well as a little more attention to the broth.
