Authentic Vietnamese Pho Experience
My experience at this restaurant took me straight back to Vietnam. I had one of the best phos I've had in town, specifically the Saigon special. The tapioca shrimp cakes were also great.
The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and quiet.

Best Egg Flower Soup & Fried Rice!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the best egg flower soup I've ever tasted in Seattle, and the fried rice was equally great. The location in the First Hill neighborhood is very convenient, and the customer service was excellent.
I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely Delicious Chicken Pho!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the number 25 Chicken Pho, which was the best thing I have ever had. It was incredibly flavorful yet remained simple.
I noticed that the medium and large sizes primarily differ in broth quantity, not noodles, so I'd recommend adding extra noodles for a more substantial meal. Our server was very nice and easy to talk to. The food arrived fast and was served hot and fresh, at a perfect temperature for immediate enjoyment.
The atmosphere felt comfortable, reminiscent of a "hole in the wall" place, yet it was surprisingly open with plenty of room. I 10/10 recommend this spot and wish I lived closer to visit more often. I didn't get a photo before I finished it all, but here's a picture of the broth!

Consistently Closed Despite Google Maps Listing
This place is constantly showing as open on Google Maps, but every time I’ve come by it is closed. Midweek, weekend, it doesn’t matter. Assume that it is closed.

Satisfying Steak Pho and Egg Rolls
I visited this restaurant on a Thursday during lunch. It tends to get busy due to the nearby medical facilities. I ordered the steak pho and Vietnamese egg rolls.
The order was quick, and the meal was satisfying, with a good broth. The egg rolls were fried to order. I noticed they have banh xeo on the menu, and I'm eager to return to try it.

Hidden Gem with Flavorful Food
I almost passed this place up, but I'm so glad I didn't! It's a true hidden gem. The atmosphere was both inviting and relaxing, and the food was incredibly flavorful, colorful, and served in perfect portions.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, making for a great experience.

Tasty food, small portions for price
I got takeout and found the portion size to be pretty small for the price I paid. While the food is tasty, it's not worth the value.

Great Food, Bizarre Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of excellent food and very unusual service. The food was truly 10/10. However, the customer service was quite strange.
While the son working there was AMAZING, another staff member (possibly the mother) seemed to misunderstand my order for 'to go. ' Despite confirming 'to go, ' she brought the food to my table and insisted I said 'here. ' She then laughed when I corrected her and proceeded to box it up, still audibly saying 'for here' and laughing.
While I loved the business, I'm a strong believer in good customer service, and this experience has led me to decide I won’t be returning. If you prioritize good food over potentially weird customer service, this is the spot for you.
