Pho Bac

reasonable prices and delish. got a small phở with springs rolls and it was $ 9. great deal. parking is plenty and the staff is attentive.

Yummy and decently priced with fairly prompt service, I like their veggie phở. Fairly accessible location on the southside.

My #1 place to go for Phở from Tukwila-​Kent area. Happy it’s less than 5 min away from my house *^_^*
FAST SERVICE. This is good when you are in a hurry, i’m always in and out of there super fast. The owners are really nice & the guy who is usually the server I believe is the owner as well. He even remembers me and always has a smile ready. =)
UPDATE on the PRICES. it used to be super cheap $ 5 phở. but times are tough now, so they raised their prices – but not too much, still pretty good compared to other places
$ 6.00 for a Small phở
$ 7.00 for a Large phở
(no medium size)
Love the broth, always flavorful.
Minus stars because I’m not a fan of their rice dishes & spring rolls (sauce for their spring roll needs to be improved).
If you live close & feel like having Phở after partying and drinking hard the night before – go here just for the Phở and you will be satisfied.

I’m backing off to 4 star. Sill recommened. Just not top of my list anymore

The waiter seemed like he almost didn’t understand certain requests due to a language barrier. The men’s restroom didn’t have any soap, so I snuck into the women’s to steal some. I’ve been to a lot of hole in the wall joints and their food ended up tasting good, unfortunately, this wasn’t one of them.
My phở just seemed so empty, nothing but broth. Luckily, I also order some short ribs that didn’t turn out that good, but the two dishes almost filled Omar and me. Overall, I felt like taste/​portion did not meet the value I spent.
Sad to say, I won’t be returning even though it is the closest phở restaurant to my house,…not impressed

Inexpensive. Friendly owners. Delicious
If you’re in the Kent area, go to this Phở joint! The prices are relatively cheaper than other phở restaurants I’ve been to. It’s less than 6 dollars for a small! Most places that sell small sized phở is about 7 – 8 dollars!
I really enjoy the chicken phở! The broth is always flavorful and hot. I hate it when my bowl of phở comes out and the broth gets cold after 5 minutes – this place doesn’t have cold phở :) One thing that was unique to this particular phở restaurant is that they put some sort of onion that has been pre sauteed on a pan. I don’t know if that’s authentic, but, it makes the phở taste better in my opinion!
Another odd but good thing is that they serve Thai Iced Tea here! I LOVE thai iced tea – kind of strange that they have it at a Vietnamese restaurant, but I’m not complaining!
The owners are very friendly! I am a big advocator for supporting local businesses and you should spend your money here – you won’t regret it! :)
They accept cash or card by the way!

Best phô around! The broth is amazing! Forget phô world down the street, they’re overpriced and have no flavor! The owners here are so nice too!

I have passed by this restaurant almost every day and wondered about it. We ate here tonight for the first time after reading the reviews and we agree, the soup was delicious. $ 6.50 for a large with good amount of meat and noodle. Very satisfying (unlike the ones in Covington). And the owner was very nice. This will be our go-​to phở restaurant here in Kent from now on.

The other revirwers are correct. This place is delicious. Can’t believe i didnt come here sooner. Give them a try and you will be happy. Two large bowls of Phở came to $ 13.50 Worth every penny! The broth is excellent. Lots of noodles. A+

Great phở and it was quick. It was quiet when I went on a Tuesday, but it’s sort of quiet, but it was nice place to have a conversation. The phở came out super quick, I think I need to start timing phở places to see how long it comes out, cause everywhere I go comes out super quick. Can’t wait to come back when I’m in the area.

I really like this phở place. As much as I love Phở World that’s minutes away from this place, this restaurant comes in a close second! Service is prompt, and considering the price of the phở and the quality of the food… It’s top-​notch! The *only* thing I don’t like about this place is its location. It’s at the corner of a busy intersection for one, and there’s a barrier on one of the main roads there so it makes it even MORE difficult to get there IMO. Besides that, it’s really good quality for a really good price.

The phở came out fast and hot, tender meat, good noodles, piping hot broth. The rice plate wasn’t quite as good. The charbroiled pork and shrimp was ok, but the kalbi (short ribs) weren’t that great. Came in an a weekday during peak lunchtime and it was empty. Nobody came in throughout the meal, which was a bit worrisome, but food proved wasn’t bad, and was cheap.

The services was great, the price for phở ($ 5.50 for a small) was right, and — most importantly — the food was delcicious. ‘Nuff said.

I’ve been to this place twice now with my coworkers and they already got my order memorized! #6 extra large! That’s the extra large phở w/​rare steak and brisket. I like this place because the prices are great, they give you a lot of meat, and finally, their brisket is not fatty at all like some places I’ve been to. In addition, they serve hot tea and its perfect for those cold rainy days here in Western Washington.

I always thought the best place to eat Phở is the Phở Bac in Seattle, but this place lives up to the name as well.
The best thing about this place is that they open all week from 10am to 9pm. That is a plus for people who want to eat Phở late at night.
I went here with my best friend and we ordered two small bowls of Phở. They also gave some hot tea and ice water (which is typical). The portions were just the right size. The broth was light and had a lot of flavor, unlike other places that taste like watered down broth. Plenty of bean sprouts and basil come with every order, more than enough.
They also offer a large bowl, and for the really hungry people, an extra large bowl at reasonable prices.
If you want some good Phở and you live in the south side, this is the best place to go.

The phở, salad bowls, and spring rolls are as good as the ones in East San Jose, so I like this place. The portion sizes are good for the price, and people that work here are nice too. It’s a great lunch spot for me because I can get in and out quickly, with good, cheap, and filling food. I also tell myself that it is moderately healthy so I can justify getting an order of spring rolls to myself in addition to my main dish :)

Damn, I’m late. I have too much to do, and it’s already Noon and I’m hungry and I have to be somewhere at One. So I slam the car into the parking lot of the silly little phở place with the plastic palm tree, walk in, and order standing up.
I wash my hands, come back, and the food arrives. I scarf it down — as fast as you can with chopsticks and a spoon, and while I’m doing it I realize this stuff is pretty good. Maybe they read the reviews, or maybe they have fine tuned their recipes. It’s the same food I always get, but somehow the quality seems improved. Maybe it’s the urgency of my day, but after about twenty minutes I’m done and I feel pretty good about this place. The owners are pleasant, and they help me by getting me a to-​go cup so I can drink my coffee in the car. And all this for eight bucks. Pretty sweet.
Okay, four stars — you should try it. I think it’s getting better.

Yes other people are correct this place is nothing fancy but I dont want a phở place that is. Their Phở is awesome and it is never too crowded. The family that runs this place is nice and the provide excellent service. I love this place and I have not been able to order something that I did not like. If you are looking for a phở place this is nice and cheap. It is just what I want and fast.

I like to try different phở places to see whats best out there. However, this place isn’t very good. The menu was simple, nothing too different from standard phở combinations and other rice dishes.
If you’re in this area, there’s another place at the same intersection next to Safeway, Phở BaoAn or something… they’re better. Unless I hear that they improve their phở, I won’t be going back.

At least once a week we go to this fabulous Phở hole-​in-​the-​wall. If you live in the Kent area, it’s convenient and well worth mentioning. I’m quite a critic when it comes to the good olé’ vietnamese noodle soup– the lady that makes it does it PERFECTLY.
You may not be as impressed by the location or décor (although the indoor tiki hut is collegiate-​cool), but the food is well worth the $ 5 a bowl.
