Pho Ld

good, cheap, and quick little lunch spot. i work down the street so it’s convenient

This place is fantastic. The special combo phở has excellent flavor and is very filling. Two large bowls for lunch is less than $ 20 and it is served lightning quick. I get their phở every time I’m in town and I look forward to it each time. Man alive, this is some delicious food.

Great lunch spot for cheap eats if you can ignore the run down appearance of the building. Gracious service.
All broth is beef and good. Light on the veggies when ordered veggie phở without the tofu.
Egg rolls were good too.

Called on the phone to see if they have vegetable soup stock and they said yes. Drove here to find out its beef stock with tofu.

Solid phở in a working-​class neighborhood. By no means the best, but quick, friendly service makes up for much! A good lunch/​dinner stop if you’re on a schedule! Milder broth and lower in salt than many places. Give it a try!

Worst phở I have ever had. Broth was totally clear, basically hot water. Sandwich was like spam and canned turkey, and I ordered a bbq pork sandwich. I took one small bite out of sandwich and they wanted me to pay for it. Old jalapeños, clear broth, crappy quality chicken.

Lots of yummy food for the price. I normally get the vermicelli salad bowls because something about noodles with meat and lettuce consistently fills me with happiness. Also yummy phở and decent teriyaki.
The staff is attentive, but sometimes I get offered tea and sometimes I don’t, so FYI if you’ve never been here and they don’t offer tea, ask about it because it is free.
I find the TV really distracting — seems to either be playing soap operas or talk shows, with the volume fairly high.

So so yummy! One of the best bowls of phở I’ve had in a long time! Had tofu phở and it was fresh and delicious with lots of yummy veggies and flavorful un fatty broth. Staff is very nice.

My favorite phở restaurant, very nice owner who always remembers my name. Phở broth is just incredibly flavorful, generous portions and very reasonable prices. Lemon grass shrimp is delicious, also.

I came here on Monday with some coworkers. One coworker felt a little uneasy about going here since he’s rarely been to a Phở /​Teriyaki combo restaurant that has been good. The restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside. When we walked in it was definitely clean. We were seated right away even during the lunch rush. I kept it simple by ordering the Chicken Teriyaki. Even though I’ve rarely had bad teriyaki I thought it was pretty good. The Chicken Teriyaki came with rice (small amount) and some veggies. I mixed them all together and was pretty tasty. My coworker ordered the spicy chicken and beef combo (the was that was uneasy) said it was ok. The other coworker that ordered the meatball phở said it was really good and he was also full as well.

People here are Super nice, we’ve enjoyed a few meals here. Phở was the usual & was pretty good… Some of the other dishes people ordered have looked interesting, but never ordered anything besides phở & bun (totally skip the combo bun — somehow little flavor & unfullfilling

Very warm and quick service in a warm environment. The phở tai (with beef) is delicious; the broth is rich yet light, and meatballs were tasty and done just right (not overlooked).
I finished with a café sua da, Vietnamese iced coffee, that was both fresh and very well balanced.
This restaurant is deep within Georgetown on 4^th and Lucille, and well worth the trip.
Phở, the breakfast of winners.
:)

I’ve driven by this place so many times and never thought to go in, just seemed a bit of an odd setup. It’s about a mile from my house, so when I was starving and looked on Unilocal for a good phở place, I was amazed to find that LD Phở was very highly rated. Since I have full faith and trust in my fellow Unilocalers, I gave it a try. I’m so glad I did! This is what I got for take out:
Chicken curry — bomb! I got this to share with my husband and he killed it. I was left with a few bites and I savored it.
Spring rolls — delicious! And the peanut sauce was wonderful.
Brisket phở — it’s hard to go wrong with Phở when you go to an asian-​run phở place, so I was happy with this. The brisket was a bit tough, but still good.
Definitely recommend this place. Service was excellent as well. Very friendly and quick.

It’s a very simple house-​turned into a restaurant. It’s very busy at lunch. Young lady behind the counter remembers everyone, and will treat you kindly.
The food: Freshest ingredients anywhere. The flavors mix incredibly well. Flat-​out cheap pricewise. No fancy décor, a TV visible from the «lobby» and one of the dining rooms, usually showing Maury, The Chew, etc. I have heard the phở is, pardon me «phở-​nominal»™ so I will try it next time.

Needing something light for lunch on a hot sunny day. Ordered the egg rolls and spring rolls. Service was quick and efficient.
The egg roll was wonderfully crisp and no oily residue. The sauce complemented the egg roll and did not overpower the flavor.
Also enjoyed the delicate and firm spring rolls in the peanut sauce. The sauce was light and not slurry as some peanut sauces I have tasted.
Yes, Definitely going back again for appetizers. I will probably try the coffee next time.

I came here on a lunch break recently after having a craving for Bun Thit Nhuong and having my co-​workers tell me that they come here sometimes. No one had a to go menu and they didn’t have one listed on their Unilocal page (or their own webpage).
I walked over around 11am and the parking lot had a few cars in it. I should’ve driven but after reading the reviews & seeing how the parking lot was, I thought it was easier to walk up.
The restaurant itself is basically a converted house into a restaurant. I walked in and found 2 other tables seated and pretty dead. I was greeted and seated fairly quickly with a menu.
Hot tea was brought out (although no water was offered or asked) and I placed my order for a #51 (Bun Thit Nhuong) and asked for the veggies to be excluded. As I sat and waited, I looked around and noticed the big sign on the register/​entry which had posted that they now charge $ 0.35 for any credit card charge under $ 10. Kind of a downgrade when it’s a single person eating lunch but what can ya do?
There was one TV in the corner (showing Maury) and it kept cutting in & out. It kept freezing and glitching out which was kind of annoying (not that I was watching Maury_​but just more of a background noise.
A group of 3 was seated shortly after I was and started to get their appetizers and drinks. I thought «Well, perhaps because they ordered Phở and spring rolls; they could beat my service since their food is quicker to prepare.»
After 10 mins though, my server came back and asked me «You ordered a #51, right? I just needed to confirm.» This annoyed me a little as it took 10 mins for her to check and they still had to make my order. So my order finally came about another 10 mins later and it was right for the most part (no veggies, etc).
I’m sure my waitress/​hostess thought I was needy because I went up to the counter to ask her if they had any cucumber. This particular dish usually comes with cucumber, peanuts, etc and I know I asked for no ‘veggies’ so sometimes they count cucumber as veggies. I wasn’t blaming anyone.
What was odd was she stared at me and went «Yes.» and I had to awkwardly ask her if I could please have some to go with my dish. She stared some more in thought then said «Uhm, sure.»
She eventually brought me a few small slices which I put into my noodle dish to try to even it out from the salty meat.
The dish itself wasn’t bad although it wasn’t the best I ever had. I would say that their menu seems legit and the Phở around me smelled good but the service from dining in just seemed ‘off’.
I don’t believe in taking Phở to go as I tend to love the hoisin/​plum sauce and they never give you enough when you’re to go. I might come back just to try the Phở to see if it’s any good but I’d say the food is ok but definitely don’t dine in.

This place is good! Good hot phở! I get the brisket combo which is excellent. We bring our 3 year old here and the family who owns the place loves him! My wife gets the bun (phở with out the broth) with shrimp, and my son gets the spring rolls.
Great place with great food!

A friend and I just so happened to be in the SODO area and were meeting up for a spontaneous lunch date. We were thrilled to have found such a gem!
The phở was excellent. She ordered the chicken phở and I ordered the phở tai. Both amazing. The broth was so flavorful and smooth that it could have easily been left ungarnished with sriracha and hoisin sauce. There was a perfect balance between amount of noodles, meat, and broth. We both ordered a small bowl and we shared an order of spring rolls (one each). It was more than enough food. We both usually meet at differening Phở establishments (anywhere from Bellingham to Olympia) and I think this might be our favorite. We are definitely coming back!

I have been a regular customer here for a long time. I can’t recall how long for sure, maybe 6 or 7 years. Having hunted down and tried the Phở at maybe 10 or more different places around Seattle, I don’t understand how Phở Ld has managed to pretty much stay under the Phở review radar for all if these years. Why? Because it is exceptional and genuine, run by a very nice family.
In addition, I have been seeing the same familiar core group of regulars like me there for many years as well.
My usual is the tofu with vegetable Phở, but I have enjoyed many other menu items including curry chicken with vegetables and stir fry chicken with vegetables, both of which are very good.

This Vietnamese business is located south of Seattle amongst many of the warehouses and industrial parks. I accidentally found this location recently and had a few visits here. Small mom n pop location with friendly staff. The chow fun is quite good with a decent portion offered. The phở is average and just good enough for a quick eat. Put some more Sirracha sauce to liven it up! They do offer Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) to go only but I have yet to try those. A variety of items like rice dishes and stir fry is also available. I think I will go for the fried rice or the vermicelli noodles next time. 3.5 stars rounded to a 4 for service with a smile. If you don’t feel like driving too far and you are in around this area, give this one a try.
