Issaquah Pho Restaurant

Love this place Always order a pho with a combo of meats - p10 They are super fast, usually under 5 minutes the order is on the table. I add 3 sauces plus all that is offered-lime, jalapeño, basil and bean sprouts . My friend once tried fried rice here- she loved it a lot as well. Recommend!

First time here. Have to say. It was good! Ordered pho combo, it can be a little more meet, good heat for the soup!

Delicious vegetarian options! We got pho with tofu and vegetables, sandwich, and fried rice. The owner is so friendly and nice! Definitely recommend!

The food at Issaquah Pho was beautifully presented, and we enjoyed the meal. I hope the soup is served extra hot next time, as that’s how I like it! Looking forward to returning to try their pho bo (beef pho).

This is our favorite local pho restaurant. We go very often, our favorites are the fresh spring rolls, the pho and vermicelli noodles. The food is very consistent, fresh and flavorful. The service is attentive. The atmosphere is simple but I prefer eating pho in this atmosphere over something fancier. The food is the focus. My family and I crave eating here.

Causal restaurant, warm & happy face to welcome clients. Not too many variety. Order small size p9 , surprised have 2 big chunk of tendons cause mostly Pho restaurant hard to find tendons even you add order . Will back again

Great food and super friendly staff. We got the chicken and beef teriyaki and the Bahn mi. We loved it. Our only suggestion is to clean a bit more. The walls are filthy with splashes of food lol which is pretty gross. Thankfully this can be wiped down and cleaned in a day, so easy fix.

We lived in Issaquah 20 years ago and used to go here. First place I ever had Vietnamese noodles. We recently came back for a family function and it is still delicious.

Second visit for Beef Pho! Prices are quite reasonable especially for what you get Love the beef pho broth. So flavorful We ordered # 2. And a large, beef, flank and tripe pho It really hit the sport on the cold winter evening. We also ordered a pork Bahn mi to go Was so disappointed. Won't be ordering a bahn mi sandwich here again. It was small, no cukes and spare on meat. Service was right on! Restaurant is well maintained

Just happened to be in the complex during lunch time so decided to try this place out. Was decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically. I generally get the Pho Tai at any new Pho joint to just try out their steak and broth. They call their rare steak just 'steak'. So that happens to be their P1 offering on their menu. P1 Steak Pho (3): Broth was pretty good. Very drinkable and good flavor. The noodles were standard. The steak was in fact rare and thinly sliced. Not the best quality but good and tender enough. They offer small and large bowls. I got the large since it was only $1 more. It was still $14 for the large bowl though. Wasn't really enormous or large though. I'd say it was a normal size. I remember when a bowl of pho ran you a few bucks. I mean its pho. It's supposed to be the cheap stuff. At $14 for a bowl you better put some amazing steak in there or something. Pretty standard fare here if you ask me. Staff was super nice but I can't justify it unless you're really craving some pho. Overall, OK!

At $16 a bowl, it is some pricey pho. Gone are the days of $5-6 bowls for medium sized bowls. Usually most places would offer a larger bowl for $1 more but this place is all standard sizing. The place is very nice and better looking than your average pho shops with prices to match. No nonsense service with solid pho that hits the spot on a cold winter day.

The pho and rice with pork chop from this restaurant come up short. The pork chop plate: the meat is ok, but everything fails. Nước Chấm is bland and taste diluted, VERY diluted, like cheap fish sauce mixed with water. The dish is served with mayo salad, a very odd and unauthentic choice. The soup base for the pho is plain and lack dimensions. Basil served on the day was dry. The large size bowl was ok but not really that large. The service was quick and friendly, price is reasonable especially considering it's located in Issaquah. Jenny Pho and Ms Saigon Kitchen can easily cost 20-30% more for same menu item. There are plenty of reasonably priced and typical Vietnamese restaurants when you go to Renton Highlands, but Issaquah Pho quality is below average at best.

They didn't include vegetables in their pho other than the sprouts. And their banh mi vegetables were extremely sparse. Noodles were slimey and too soft. Broth was decent though. Condiment Chili oil was good too. Love their service where they don't constantly dote on you. I like being left alone when I eat.

First time ordering from issaquah pho and overall, solid pick we ordered the brisket combination pho (p16 large $14), steak pho (p1 large $14), tempura shrimp (5 piece $9), extra noodles ($3) and 2 bubble teas ($6 each) Their pho broth is rich and deep in flavor, you can tell that they slow cook it for hours possibly. The side order of noodles probably amounts to about 2 full bites, a bit disappointing and had I known would have definitely ordered 2. Also the steak for the steak pho is INSIDE the broth. Upon first opening the noodles I thought they had forgotten the protein (as the combo protein was inside the container with noodles) and I whipped my phone out so fast to open a ticket with Uber eats but, luckily I glanced at the broth first and found the steak at the bottom of the container Their shrimp tempura was crispy and came with a fish sauce. For their bubble tea we picked one taro and one green apple, both very heavily flavored (they likely use a powder as they offer nearly a dozen flavors) and very creamy. The boba was cooked well and had a nice texture to it. Overall good food, good portions (smaller than what we get at square lotus in factoria bellevue), If you are in the area, would recommend as a solid pho spot!

My favorite PHO ever! The broth is amazing and they have the best spring rolls! The atmosphere is friendly and the restaurant is clean. The service is always fast and always delicious

I'm officially addicted. These sandwiches are so delicious!!! I have to stop myself from getting one daily.

A simple pho joint, not huge on decoration but the best pho value I've had since coming to Seattle. A large P12 ran me $14 ( which in Washington, sheeeeit, you can't get toast for $14). Since I use pho to keep from getting sick, I'll be coming by more often.

Easily the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. I eat their banh mi on a weekly basis, and the pho and spring rolls are excellent too. The owners and staff are incredibly sweet, and they make their regulars feel appreciated.

Great fresh Pho. I got the chicken and my friend got the steak. Prices were a bit high. Would return when I'm in the area again.

Gluten free pho, however broth is watered down chicken broth with little to no flavor. We were disappointed overall.

Good pho & spring rolls Only thing I have issues is the lackluster portions of the proteins. The meats are so thin and little portion compare to other pho places Service was okay Plenty of parking Oh and soup was really hot which was the B

I went hiking at Poo Poo Chirico Trail and after we came here to give it a try. This was my first time ever having pho- I really enjoyed it. The lady working was so friendly and nice. The restaurant was clean and had a good menu. I ordered the tempura shrimp, I really liked the batter and it was a good shrimp to batter ratio. I didn't care for the sauce that came with it. I tried to order the crab puffs but she informed me they were out of them- that was a little sad. I ordered the steak pho with no veggies and loved it! The broth is very tasty and the steak was cooked well and tender. I added lime, sriracha, and hoisin sauce and stirred it all up. The flavor really goes into the broth. So I would eat some noodles and then take some broth. I would return again next time I'm in the area.

Great little hidden gem! Super affordable and delicious. We smelled it in the parking lot and had to stop in.

They don't close until 8 PM. I came in at 7:40. As I'm walking through the door, the lady at the counter said, are you picking up? I said no I'd like to place an order. She said oh! No, no, we are closing soon. I said you don't close till 8 right? She said yes, but we just ready to get out of here now, so no more orders I said I still have 20 minutes correct? She said yes let me check the kitchen. She came back and said no we need to be done now. She said I'm so sorry, but please come back. I said definitely I won't.

Affordable Pho and yummy. The servers are helpful esp if you feel a little intimidated to order off the menu or even come in. If you're a little nervous, stepping outside your comfort zone, they will make you feel comfortable here. The spring rolls were really good. The tables and floor are very clean... This is a good place for a basic lunch or dinner. This is not fancy or romantic restaurant. HOWEVER.... OMG... my very favorite thing was the exquisite, jazz music that they played on the small speaker box. It is beautiful in the background, creating an ambience of contradiction. Vietnamese pho restaurant with gorgeous Jazz in the background. Whoever's decision, it was to put this music on made the right one. I chose a seat close to the music speaker just to listen. The tasty, warm soup combined with the music both soothed my soul. Only reason for the four star is the desk where the cashier works is a cluttered mess! A mess like a 16 year old's bedroom! What? Why? This made me lose a little confidence in ordering my food, because it makes me wonder what behind the curtain looks like also. However, I don't think that should discourage anyone because the plates the silverware in the place is pretty clean. And the cashier cleaned up dishes immediately after each table left. The other reason is a napkin is nowhere to be found... You have to ask for one if you want one... How can somebody think I can eat food with chopsticks and not need a napkin. This is going to dribble all down the front of my shirt if I don't get a napkin over here STAT! However, one napkin was delivered promptly and efficiently as soon as I had requested. And trust me, I'm making the most of this napkin. definitely worth going, especially if on a budget.

My family loves coming here. The staff is always so attentive. I wasn't a fan of pho until I came here. The staff knows our order by heart. The restaurant is always so clean and each table is always packed with a variety of sauces, lots of silverware and chopsticks. This is the only pho place I will go to! The rice, teriyaki chicken, sandwiches are all delicious and never ceases to amaze me! Thank you Issaquah pho for wonderful service and delicious food every time!

This is by far my favorite place to get Pho. With affordable prices, and quick service. You will not leave disappointed. This location is a small family business and I have loved getting to know them through my visits. Although the interior may not be up to some other places standards it does not change the heart of this place and the taste of the food. I hope they can get more business so that maybe they can do a few upgrades within the restaurant. I have so much love for this place and I hope that they keep going up.

I've been to many pho places, but this was my first time at Issaquah Pho. I ordered the large P10, which was the combination Pho. The large size was not super big, but moderately large. I really enjoyed the taste of the broth in comparison to other pho places. The broth was not too sweet, but not too bland either. I often splash my broth with siracha, but the broth was so good that I completely forgot to spice it up. The noodles were also really soft and smooth and there was a sufficient quantity of meat in the pho. The price was cheaper than a lot of pho places I have been, overall 5 stars I would go again :)

Great pho! The broth id delicious and servings are perfect. The spring rolls are awesome! Staff is great too. Very friendly and always remembers my order. I highly recommend Issaquah Pho!

This is a typical 'no-frills' pho join in a strip mall. They are very welcoming and service is very quick - even when the restaurant was relatively full. The pho was delicious and I would happily come back.

Came in for Sasone PHO and they were so careful about germs and cleanliness! It was amazing how they followed the rules and went to throw away the menu that I simply touched. Excellent job in cleanliness! The service was awesome and my chicken Pho was delicious! Can't wait to take my family here!

We came here in a rainy evening for some pho. Place was empty and I wasn't sure if the food would be any good. Upon entering we were promptly greeted and seated. Good was delicious and the service was great. Will definitely return :) Thank you

been mostly getting take outs from here, never disapppint. i do wish they join dashpass so i can start ordering delivery

No frills pho place. I think it might be run by Koreans? It's really a no frills place. Basic. Don't expect a lot of ambiance and decor. Pho was not bad if you want something quick to hold you over.

So, this place blew me away! I came in, not expecting much from the "meh" Yelp reviews, but I'm really glad I decided to try Issaquah Pho out. I was feeling horrible on Wednesday with a nasty cold, so really wanted a hot bowl of pho for lunch. I've been to Jenny Pho before, the other pho eatery in Issaquah and am not a huge fan of it. The only other pho place in Issaquah is this one, so despite what I read on Yelp, I decided my nasal passages could really use some piping, hot pho and figured everything's worth a try. And it really is. The pho was awesome! I ordered a large pho with brisket, steak, tendon, tripe, and fatty tendon. It was plentiful, and loved how much brisket was in it because it turned out to be my favorite of the proteins! It was soft, tender and flavorful. On the side were bean sprouts, mint leaves and jalapenos, which I always put in my pho - with lots of Sriracha, which they have on every table. The best part of the pho though, was the broth! Wow! The broth was incredibly flavorful, hearty and had some spice to it - which I loved. By far, this was one of the best broths I've had of all the pho places I've been to! I normally can't finish the broth in my bowl, but I slurped my way all the way to the bottom of a large bowl. NOMSSSSS. I now have found my pho place in Issaquah! I should also mention this place is cheap! For a regular bowl it's $7.99 and only a dollar more for a large one, which you will want here! Service is quick and it doesn't take long to get your pho. The menu also has some other Vietnamese dishes like vermicelli bowls, spring rolls, etc... The exterior of Issaquah Pho doesn't look like much, as it's located in an older shopping centre in Issaquah by Gold's Gym, but don't let that turn you down. This is a great family-owned business with a pho that's now my go-to in Issaquah!

We love the rare steak pho, the brisket pho, egg rolls and spring rolls. They know the locals orders when then come in. Strong iced coffee.

Ever since moving to the area, I have been searching for my go-to place to grab pho. I have found it! Other places charge a set size for to-go orders, but Issaquah Pho doesn't; you can still order a small or large size for your to-go orders. The first time I ordered from here, I wanted to order the P5 (Steak, Flank) but they had run out of flank, so they asked me if it was okay if they put extra steak in there instead (of course I said yes). Normally I finish my pho for everything but the broth (I mean that's why you get pho, right?) but I finished my entire bowl of broth! They offer enough bean sprouts on the side with enough meat as well. Definitely give this place a try! They are currently open for dine-in if you choose to.

This is my favorite pho place in Issaquah. Food comes out quickly, it's fairly priced and the portions are large and the broth is flavorful. The only complaint I have with this restaurant is that they are frequently (read: almost always) understaffed. Oftentimes there's only one or two people working for the entire restaurant, so tables are not cleared immediately, you might not get water or a menu right away or you might have to wait to ring up. But if you can get over those little things, it's definitely worth a visit.

One of the best restaurants in Issaquah, the food is amazing and is very affordable. If you're looking for a new place to try definitely come to this place

I was hesitant to eat here because it doesn't seem particularly Vietnamese (and if you didn't know pho is Viet and so am I), but finally decided to check it out on a day when I didn't feel like cooking. The owners are Korean. Tried their pho #10, which basically has everything except bo vien/meatballs. This was totally fine. $9.99 for a large, which came with a reasonabke portion of noodles, meat, and broth. They package the noodles and meat together in a container, then there's a separate plastic container for broth, and a little baggie with herbs, lime, sprouts, hoisin, and siracha. The broth flavor was as expected and the meat was all spot on. My parents (also Viet, obviously) tried their grilled pork banh mi and their pork and egg roll noodle dish. These were both okay. The banh mi or Vietnamese sandwich used a soft hoagie roll which isn't traditional. The meat was fine, nothing to write home about. The noodle dish had very watery fish sauce with it, and the eggroll wasn't that crispy and contained mostly vermicilli, not enough meat. Prices are reasonable, but I probably wouldn't come here for anything other than their pho in the future.

Amazing service and the owners are the best! They are a spot you need to check out. The broth is so clean and is the perfect for the cold Seattle days.

We always come here for some good pho during the cold weather. The spring rolls never disappoint, and the pho with tendon and any beef cut is always delicious. We also love the pork chop with rice! They prepare it quickly too, for both dine in and takeout.

Three and a half stars or more. Second time we tried this place. They were open during the snow storm. Big group was there so the service was a bit slower. Hot pho was great. Better than expected. Especially for Issaquah. They had fresh tofu for my veggie pho. Next time I will try their fried rice too. Good pho option for Issaquah. Better than Jenny Pho.

Been here so frequently in the last couple of years and after the changes they made in early 2017, this place has consistently been outstanding. Their Pho (both beef and veggie) broth is top notch, the meat is delicious and generous and the dipping sauces on the side are fantastic including the house chili oil. I'm also a really bog fan of their vermicelli bowl; the grilled pork and shrimp are by far my favorites. The fresh rolls are quite good as are the banh mis but the real stars here are definitely the two noodle dishes; Issaquah Pho can legit give most top Seattle Vietnamese restaurants a solid run for their money. My wife and I go here once a week in the winters for Pho and almost as often in the summer for the Vermicelli bowls; do give it a shot; even worth driving to if you don't live in Issaquah.

If you haven't ordered the chicken curry noodle bowl yet, you are missing out. One of my favorite dishes on the east side by far. I suggest to pair this dish with a pork Banh Mi sandwich and dip the sandwich in the broth. When this place wasn't available during shutdown it hurt. This is real comfort food. The rest of the menu is good too, no complaints at all...but the curry....I want to live in that bowl.

I've lived here since 2019 and this is literally my 7th time trying to go and get takeout at Issaquah Pho because I don't like jennys and the 7th time there's been a handwritten sign on the door that says they're closed due to understaffing. I don't usually write bad reviews but I'm done. Don't waste your time trying to eat here

Not your ordinary Pho place. An assortment of Pho, Thai, and Chinese. Most distinctive is the Thai ice tea in the mason jar mug.

Fast food pho. Staff was unfriendly and the tables were sticky. The pho was not fresh.

This is our FAVORITE pho place. You know the quality of the pho really starts with the broth. If I could, I would just get a thermos of the beef broth. Very hole-in-the-wall, the owners know our specific orders, the quality is perfect every time. We come here once or twice a week for pho and iced coffee. It hits the spot every time! Perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The only drawback is the fact they are closed on Sundays, but everyone needs a day off! This restaurant is an absolute diamond in the rough, I can't recommend it enough!

Pretty terrible pho. In an act of desperation (rush hour, cold, sick, etc.), we landed at Issaquah Pho for dinner last week, instead of trekking to our usual spot in Bellevue. Big mistake. This place is extremely bare bones, with a bunch of tables, a back counter, and a tv. The broth was incredibly bland and underwhelming. There was no discernible taste whatsoever. The price for a large is decent, but the amount of meat was lacking. Their noodles were also a bit weird. Overall, not a fan and wouldn't come back here.

Love their pork sandwiches and their pho. Very large portions. Pleasant atmosphere with pleasant music. Friendly staff. My wife and I go there fairly often. They know us and what we order.

This place is good. I have been coming here for several years. The Pho is good. Small and large sizes. There are only 3 spots in Issaquah for Pho. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast. The tables are always clean. There is plenty of parking nearby.

I've been to this Pho restaurant previously. So I was surprised at the meat portion of the Pho I ordered. It was very small. My wife ordered a Banh Mi sandwich. It also had very little meat. The one thing you can usually count on Pho is very filling. We walked away from our meal unsatisfied. We ended up going to fast food and picking up something small to supplement our meal. As someone mentioned, I don't think this restaurant is under the same ownership. I'm not sure what other alternatives for Pho are in the area, but I probably will not return to this restaurant.

My favorite Pho in the area. Delicious and fantastic service. The pho is quality and vermicelli is delish. Always get our order right- we call or go in and they already know what we want! The best and we know pho!

I go there a couple times a week. Great quick service and great pho soups. I get the brisket and beef pho. I would highly recommend it.

Came here on a Saturday at lunch time and loved their pho! I had a seafood pho without noodles and added veggies and my boyfriend had combination beef pho and they were DELICIOUS! My bf is quite the foodie and he gave thumbs up. The service was also great! Will return and/or order from here.

Only have visited this place once because the soup was swimming in grease. I have heard positive things from friends but that was not my experience. Parking is easy. My soup was very salty. I don't know if msg was used.
