"The Seattle Pho-Natics 7/27/09. The Seattle Pho-Natics went to What the Pho July 27th, 2009 and had a great experience!Interior: The interior was very modern, not like a 'traditional ' pho restaurant, but didnt feel like a 'chain ' restaurant either! Very clean, and the bathrooms were clean as well. They also have a full bar, which was great!Service: The service was amazing! The wait staff was very accomodating for our group of 17 this time. The drinks and appetizers came out very fast, as well as the pho. Didnt feel rushed out the door like a lot of pho restarurants.Price: They have small and large sizes- $6.95 and $7.95, they also have a childrens size pho! They do take credit cards as well.Broth: Very good! I feel most of us gave them a A+ on their broth, not too bland or salty like others! The condiments for the pho was sufficient as well, we asked for more and they came right out with plenty for all.Selection: The menu is great! They not only have Pho, but they also have appetizers, dinner menu, desserts, full bar, but also a happy hour from 3-6pm. The happy hour is great! $2 well drinks, $2 beers and $2 off appetizers! The one condiment they didnt have was chili oil, however one of the members requested that they should have it, and 5min later the staff brought out 2 bowls of homemade chili oil for our pho, made by the chef! Very tasty! They also cater to the vegetarian crowd by having tofu. One item we really enjoyed was the prawn pho! Large prawns can be added to your pho for a small price, very fresh and very good!Location: Near Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, plenty of parking.Score: As a whole What the Pho get a 8-9 out of 10. The only reasons for this was if you want to have happy hour drinks, you have to sit in the bar, even with a large group. There was plenty of room, but that night it wasnt busy, otherwise it would be difficult for a large group to sit together. Another reason is they dont have any outdoor seating.Our club posted some photos on here from our visit, enjoy! Sean Hoops. 'The Seattle Pho-Natics '"

"TL;DR: Go elsewhere.Where do I begin...The place doesn 't look great. But I like my pho places no frills, so that was no issue. We were greeted nicely and sat down. It was around 6 pm and nearly empty. Ordered an iced coffee and two lemonades, plus tofu rolls and our mains (a pho and two Bun dishes).They 're low on lemons. Ok, fine, change lemonades to another iced coffee and a bubble tea. My hubby gets his iced coffee. And we got waters. Onward...Tofu rolls come out. The homemade peanut sauce that accompanied this dish was delicious.Then we waited. And waited. And a family that is obviously a regular customer comes in. They 're greeted with hugs, started ordering, and food started flying out for them. We were still waiting. Still no second iced coffee or bubble tea.After about 30 minutes, our food shows up. Well, the Bun dishes do. The lady owner, who put sauce bottles on the table of the family, gives me a small bowl with a few squirts each of hoisin and Sriracha. When I asked for the bottles, she points to the bowl and says, "I gave you some. "Say what?!The Bun dishes that my hubby and son ordered were basically iceberg salads topped with a small portion of noodles and meat. Both of them left hungry.My pho? 3 small slices of brisket, 3 smaller slices of eye round, and not enough noodles. The broth was bland and somehow became a flavor vacuum as I tried to save it by adding hoisin and chili garlic paste (also homemade and really good). But it was beyond help.How this place is still in business is baffling. A waste of money, time, and energy that could have been better spent at BK.And no, my kid never got his bubble tea, and my iced coffee got handed to me unceremoniously as I was reluctantly paying the bill."
