"Most recognize Pho Bac as the OG pho of Seattle, and many say that the newly reopened shop on Rainier in Mount Baker is the better of the two locations. Save for a few side dishes like fries and Chinese donut sticks, pho is the only food being served here, though you can get 19 different kinds. Pho Bac is run by the Pham family, and if you’re looking for more modern offerings, try their Pho Bac Sup Shop just across from the pioneering “boat” location in Little Saigon, where the pho tron (“dry pho”) is the true gem." - Jay Friedman
"It’s a little ironic that one of the options at the most exclusive lounge areas is pho, normally an affordable meal. Here it’s served at a fun — if complicated — station: The broth is poured through a pour-over-coffee-esque setup that infuses it with ginger and other aromatics, then you pour the broth over noodles and add toppings, including ribeye from a carving station. This wasn’t our favorite thing at the media tasting preview, but it’s worth trying if you’re in the freakin’ Moet and Chandon Imperial Lounge." - Harry Cheadle
"Famed International District mainstay Pho Bac recently opened up the parking lot outside its well-known boat-shaped restaurant for an outdoor party of sorts with fried chicken masters Mangosteen x Boba Bar." - Gabe Guarente
"Little Saigon’s well-known Vietnamese restaurant Pho Bac offers two takeout options: ready-to-eat pho for pickup, or meal kits with instructions on preparation. There are also family meal combos and take-home bottles of wine." - Gabe Guarente
"Pho Bac, the business that started Seattle’s love affair with the namesake Vietnamese soup, has temporarily closed its iconic boat-shaped flagship restaurant to renovate the interior. The building should reopen in early 2019 with a modernized interior, a full bar, and fresh menu items, but with its quirky, fire-engine-red exterior intact." - Megan Hill
