Pho VK

Phở VK now CLOSED … Stay tune for new restaurant … Thank you for supporting us for the past few years!

Clean and spacious! I had the Banh xeo and it was huge! I love that this place has so many other things on the menu besides just phở and there are alot of things such as banh cong that I’ve never seen anywhere else. The spring rolls were bomb and I would defiantly come back here.
My only problem was that they were out of something on the menu and I came here only two hours after it opened so I highly doubt it was sold out.

This place is near by where I live. I’m glad I gave it a try. Amazed me! The food here is fantastic, it’s the best phở that I’ve tried around. Quiet environment, friendly survive. Definitely recommend this place!

Like the authenticity of the food. Food is great and it’s quick for lunch. Prices are reasonable too

Some of the better phở in the area and worth the drive. It’s my friend’s favorite pick and we gave it a try. The large is actually pretty massive, way too much for just one person.
Second trip service was abyssal but the spring rolls are so good.
Pretty much exactly what other reviews describe, great food but the service is hit or miss. Give it a try.

Always great food, spring rolls are excellent and phở could use a bit more meat but otherwise delicious.
Always awful service. 10 min wait for my water to be refilled while the server was sitting in the next booth, on his phone the entire time.
Every once in a while there is a really nice lady in here who is the best server ever, but the rest of the time when it’s young men, the service is severely lacking.

3.5 stars. Pretty good com tam and banh cuon with banh cong. Only other place ive had banh cong was in california so i was a little suprised. pretty authentic. Decent service. Will be back.

Some of the best phở I have ever had. Came in for the first time trying to get over a cold and you know how that goes… Nothing like phở to help you feel better.
They were really nice to me. It was a great bowl of soup. I got the combination bowl that basically had the kitchen sink of meats thrown in. Meatballs, flank, rare beef, tendon and tripe. The tendon, oddly enough, is one of the more interesting bits. These guys really did it right. The condiments (basil, jalapenos, bean sprouts, along with the sauces at the table) were all top notch. It is head and shoulders above everything else I’ve tried in the area. It is going to be my go to place for sure.
The spring rolls were also awesome. They are large and substantial and had a really tasty peanut sauce with them.
I see from the menu that they also have bahn mi. I’m looking forward to trying one of those soon too.

I’m a regular! They have weekend specials and the most diverse menu in Everett. The food is cheap as well.

Always quality food and pretty good service. We frequent this place when near the everett mall.

This place wasn’t busy when my bf and i came, but the service was really slow. We ordered the house special. Actually, the food was good. This place is okay to stop by if u in the area.

Came here for lunch a couple weeks ago. All of the food was great and will definitely come back again. The only downside was that it took quite a while to get our check, to the point where we had to walk up to the front podium so we could pay and leave. It was not busy at all and there were only 2 – 3 other guests at the time.

This place has pretty good fresh spring rolls. However, they advertised bubble tea. I was excited and ordered one. When I got it, it had no tapioca balls. How do you advertise bubble tea with no tapioca? When I asked, they said they don’t serve it. WTF! If I knew I could have saved my $ 5! Other than that the phở was pretty good and the service was good.

They have the best veggie phở around. I love how much tofu they put in it. The service is good.

Something has changed, I had very little meat and carrots in my beef stew but lots of noodles. The broth was very little amount and the flavor was lacking. GF got the spicy beef soup and said it was not spicy at all, nor was it flavor full as it had been in the past.

Came here one evening because a friend recommended it, but I usually don’t head up to Everett much for food. I was actually pleasantly surprised by everything. Their food is decently priced (even though I did some snooping and when they first opened their menu was $ 1 cheap on everything, but that was like dirt-​cheap pricing), there is plenty of parking, the restaurant is clean, there are tables that will fit any size party, and the service is friendly.
I had a combo rice dish and really enjoyed it. My only complaint is probably the nem nuong, which is like a Vietnamese meatball, because the consistency was much softer than usual. That was a general consensus. The second time I came I had to try their phở. They have 3 sizes of phở that are also priced well. I contemplated for a bit and ordered a medium. Boy, that was a big mistake. Next time, I’ll get the small! They give a good amount of noodles and meat. Also, on weekends they have special dishes which are less known by Americans, but highly craved by Vietnamese people who don’t get it often.

By far, the most legit and best Vietnamese food in Everett when it comes to rice dishes (com tam), thin-​woven vermicelli noodles (banh hoi), and vermicelli noodles (bun). The phở here SUCKS though, so skip on that. They load it with MSG and has a weird fragrant to it. Oh and the sandwiches are just mediocre.
If you’re a big fan of Viet food, other than Phở, definitely try this place out. I’ve been in a search of good Viet food in the area for some time now, and I’ve found the gold mine! Places in Chinatown/​International District are still better, but this will definitely do if I’m not looking to drive too far.
The fish sauce is good; this is the kicker to viet food (bad fish sauce will spoil the whole meal)! I got the Banh Hoi special and I was definitely happy with it. My bf and bro got the Rice VK Special and were completely satisfied. My friend got the phở and everyone tried it, and yuuuckk! don’t bother. Come here for the rice and rice noodles dishes: D
Oh, and the Che here is yummy too!

I’m a bit of a Phở nazi so trying new places out is always a bit scary for me. However, this place is a lot closer to my house than my fav place AND I was a bit too hungover to go far so I settled. Thank goodness I wasn’t disappointed!
We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The décor is very modern and contemporary (for a Phở restaurant), the service is prompt and the broth is JUST RIGHT. It’s about the average price of most places ($ 6-​$ 7 for a s/​m combo Phở).
I will definitely be back!

There are so many phở places now that you start to wonder why you never see a vermicelli factory. This one has a decent-​sized menu; about 35 items other than phở. Judging by the number of regulars they already seem to have who were ordering from all over the menu, they’re not messing around – I snuck some peeks at what others were having, and it all looked awesome.
The spring rolls were tightly wound with great, flavorful, fresh ingredients, but the best part was the sauce. It’s the usual peanut sauce, but it had a little more of a roasted nut flavor to go with the raw-​nut side of the flavor profile. There were plenty of peanuts sprinkled on top, which is a cool touch I can’t remember seeing elsewhere, along with some shredded carrot. This all makes for an awesome dipping sauce once you get done stirring in your chili paste.
The medium phở was easily enough to slow a hippo down for a minute, and all the ingredients (especially the condiments) were fresh and crisp. The meat seemed not to have any seasoning, even after stewing in the broth. I know nobody seasons their flank slices before adding them to the soup, but it seemed odd that being in the broth had so little effect on the flavor. It tasted fresh, though, probably never frozen. The broth was cloudy and a little too tomato-​y for me, but good stuff, clean and homey. Lots of scallions.
Everett Mall Way is not exactly a panoply of culinary destinations, but this is a nice new place, clean and bright, with fair prices and cheerful, hustling service. The booths and tables are nice without being extravagant, and there’s a big horseshoe-​shaped booth by the window that could hold a family of 12. You definitely get the sense that this place will be a great neighborhood joint and a part of the community: at other tables, relatives and friends were bumping into each other randomly just in the half hour or so that I was here. It’s not at the absolutely tip top of the phở mountain in Everett, but the other dishes look good, and this place looks like the kind of place you’re happy to give your money to.

Happy to have another decent phở place to add to my list. All my regular places are getting sick of ME I think.
Pros:
1) grand opening special — free spring roll, egg roll or soda per customer
2) good phở /​broth — think it’s a little stronger but not overly sweet.
3) size was good — plenty of noodles and meat. The large is huge like Thanh Brothers
4) decent price; just under $ 8 for the large everything combo with extra meatball
5) friendly and prompt service
6) nice comfortable décor and clean and plenty of parking
7) takes credit card
8) open late on Fri/​Sat night till 11pm! yum — phở after a movie!
The only thing to mention is I didn’t care for the watery peanut sauce– not the good thick peanut sauce that I like. The spring roll leans more on the skimpy side — very little noodles but it does have the crunchy egg roll skin in it that I like.
I’m a fan alone on the phở but will be back to try the other rice/​noodle dishes.
