we usually go to Pho Binh Minh but they are closed on Mondays, so we did takeout here. We ordered pho brisket (pictured) and pho rare steak (not pictured). Cons: Very small portion. The brisket was cut way to thin. Hardly any jalapeños, bean sprouts and basil. The broth was very fatty.
Pros: Open on Monday Noodles were good but portion size was super small.
This pains me to leave a low scoring review for this place because we love their Kent location and have spoken with the owners before and they were so nice to us. But this location just left us feeling disappointed.
We had the pho special and the bun bo hue. The broth from both were very tasty. But sadly the pho was extremely small for the price. They only offer one size for all their soups, so we figured we would get a decent portion for $16. The bowl came out in a size comparable to a small bowl in most places. My wife usually leaves full with the bowl unfinished, but she finished everything, even the soup, and said she was still hungry. For $16, this was extremely disappointing. And the bun bo hue was very flavorful, but was missing traditional ingredients that I love and look for when ordering this dish, like the ham hocks and blood curds. This was odd considering their Kent location has everything in it. We also usually order spring rolls, but after seeing the price for 2 ($10) we decided to skip it.
We hope this place does well because the owners were so nice and talked about opening a new location in Maple Valley. We may just stick to their Kent location.
