Pho Bo

I love this place. It’s not much to look at, but the food is delicious. The ladies that work there are so nice, and I go there regularly. Highly recommended. Best Phở.

No nonsense, straight up, delicious tasting phở.
I love their phở, and it’s only a few minutes away from our house! I have yet to try their other dishes, but that day is coming… so better get those rice dishes ready for the critical Asian!
The staff here is so cute and so lovely, they take great care of us, and the food is quick and super tasty.
The difficult part is that it’s on Rainier in Columbia City, so trying to get in and out of their parking lot (THEY HAVE PARKING, PEOPLE) is a bit trying, but totally worth it.
I now smell like phở, but who cares? It was so good it doesn’t even matter :)

I LOVE this place! Service is quick and friendly and the phở is the BEST!

This is a great phở restaurant! The broth is delicious. My kids and I love coming here.

Decent for what you pay for. But not as good as I would expect it to be. The broth wasn’t as refreshing and there was waaaaaaaay too much noodles. My noodles were a bit soggy. I’m sorry. They’re gonna have to step up their game if they want me to come back.

I used to just go here because it’s convenient but because I go so often, I’ve noticed a marked improvement in their food. So now I go because I actually like it! I’ve had both their phở and rice dishes and can attest they’re quite tasty! Get the Phở Dac Biet (aka everything) and their #30 rice plate. Try this place next time you’re in the CCity area.
One star off for inconsistent service. They’re really nice but distracted by their phones sometimes. And don’t expect a fancy interior. Serviceable.

I thought this was quite good. Had the veggie phở and I can’t really report it was insane delicious but that’s just noodle soup in general. I just can’t get over all the slurping! It’s a cultural thing. Americans are taught this to be a gauche mannerism. Had a nicely diverse menu. Service was fast and friendly. Environment was adequate. But I took away a star because their Christmas lights were still up. Just cause they’re not lighted doesn’t mean we don’t see them. OMGawwwwd. The SLURPING.

I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. You get what you pay for — and it scratched the itch for a quick bite of Vietnamese food. The coffee was the best part.

Had to try phở in Seattle and compare it to California. It was good! My phở broth reminded me of home made broth which was comforting. Also ordered the chicken and vegetable stir fry and that also tasted like something I would cook at home. I did not mind it at all.

People say it’s dirty. Those people are dumb. The place is clean, and the Phô was very good.

Went to Phở Bo for the first time today. I can see how some might say it’s «run down» inside, but to me, it’s relaxing. It’s nothing fancy. You sit wherever you like and a pot of tea will be brought to your table. If you come in the middle of the afternoon like I did, you can enjoy daytime talk shows («The Doctors» followed by «The Steve Harvey» show) on the big TV with the other folks enjoying their phở and fried rice. I ordered a small chicken phở and some egg rolls. Both were quite good. I didn’t come in looking for the best service in Seattle, or the best vietnamese food on the west coast. I came in because I wanted some tasty phở close to my house — and I found it here.

I like supporting small businesses. First I will start with the good: the phở itself was good. Broth was rich and meat good. Now the bad: the place was messy. It was a stye compared to most restaurants. Floors were dirty with forks and napkins all over. There were tables with junk on them. There was piles of junk in the corner. I can forgive a small business for not having professional interior decoration. But there is no excuse for a dirty, messy place. Even the poorest of restaurants can keep their place immaculate. Than brothers is kind of my reference phở restaurant. Their phở is cheap, restaurant always clean and service is fast. This place the phở was $ 1 more than Than bros and the server slower. I don’t like to write bad reviews but if the owners read this they can do something about it. Get cleaning! Get all the junk and clutter put away. Keep the dining area immaculate. The last bad thing was my friend saw one of the employees blow his nose then not wash his hands before serving his food which made him lose his appetite. My advice: get phở to go from these guys, the dining room is unappetizing.

This place was delish! Much better than phở rainier that used to be here. The broth is much more flavorful. The food takes a little bit longer to arrive but it’s nothing outrageous. It’s still really quick dining.

Where did the owners of phở rainier go? the people who used to own the phở restaurant before phở bo were so kind and made us feel welcome when we came there to eat. They even remembered our orders. We were regulars and came every week! Sometimes even twice a week. Finally… we tried this «new grand opening» for phở bo and it is not to my standards for phở restaurants. Sure, it’s close and convenient but I rather travel the distance to China town for better service and no hair in my food. Sorry Phở Bo, our first two impressions we got from you were horrible. Maybe we will try again in a few months. Maybe… the young girl who spoke good English was really polite and friendly. Everyone else… not so much.

who ever is complaining about «poor service» has way too high of expectations and needs to relax. all you need to do is order, eat, and then pay.
i have been to this phở place a few times already and i have had only good experiences.
THE FOOD IS GREAT.
THE PEOPLE ARE GREAT.
and thats all that matters.
enjoy!

I’m not sure why they keep on changing their name and calling it a grand opening… The interior looks the same as It did when I came as a kid. Today my sister and I were craving phở and decided to stop by. The phở was good but not that great, food came out fast, and the service was ok. Overall everything was ok nothing special.

Ok, so I’ve been to this phở location a million times before it is what it is now.
I’ve been to this Phở Bo maybe 4 times now, all different experiences, but all sucky ones as well. The last time I was there, service was SLOW. Took over 10 minutes to order, over 15 minutes to get our noodles. This is phở, keep in mind. Should be like 3 minutes to get your shit. Again, as usual, the air headed non-​english speaking or understanding twit of a waitress screws up the order. Oh, did I mention that my soup came out luke-​warm, so it didn’t even get to cook the steak on the side that I originally didn’t get? And the noodles were mushy because they sat in the broth too long as they took my bowl back to nuke it? Yeah, getting the order down correctly the first time by writing it down usually works. Never fails at these places…
Will i be back? Yeahhh… It’s close to home, and it isn’t that bad. Just the service blows.

Yum! Rainer phở born again as phở bo. So far its an improvement on the old place and generally quite good beef phở. I will def e frequenting this. I migbt upgrade rating to 5 stars if it tastes this good on multiple visits. Very nice

Always up for a new phở spot. However it took 30 minutes to get the food and other customers were served before us after coming in after. Phở was really salty for my taste. Portion was small for the price.

Our favorite cook from Phở Ba has opened a new restaurant! We went to Phở Ba for our breakfast and we were told of the new store, and off we were. The building is pretty run down and the interior is dirty and needs a painting. Not to fear, the soup is awesome as it ever was. Broth is full of herbal and spice flavors, noodles perfectly cooked, fresh basil and sprouts, and a generous portion of meat. Somehow the food was served quicker here. Soon to return, as this is the best Phở we can find for breakfast.
