My family and I found this place nearly 10 years ago. We initially discovered Pho at the "Pho Asia Noodle House" about a block down the street but that restaurant decided to take the Extra-Large bowl off the menu so we wandered down the street to the Than Bros and never left. A little tip to Pho Asia Noodle House if they read their competitors Yelp reviews; don't try pulling "Steve Jobs" type business moves if you're not actually Steve Jobs. Even most of the people who like his products still think he was a jerk. You decided that your customers didn't need the XL option and you lost our business.
Anyway, back to our friends at the Everett Than Bros. I think that the Noodle House down the street actually did us a favor. This Than Bros location has been the most consistently delicious Pho that we have eaten. That includes all the other Than Bros locations around the area. Pho has addictive, crack like qualities in and of itself as evidenced by the sheer number of restaurants that serve it that have pooped up in the past 15 years. When we started eating here, we were often the only people in the restaurant. We were pretty much always the only white people. These days, the place is consistently full from lunch time on with a UN style variety of ethnic backgrounds. Our kids have literally grown up on their pho and this is still one of the most frequented restaurants by our family. I'll credit the quality of Than Bros food for keeping my kids away from the golden arches and their general dislike of standard fast food in general. At one point, my doctor credited them for me losing a bunch of weight. Her theory was that because I was eating their food so often, the broth made my stomach feel more full and prompted me to eat less calories.
Their broth is flavorful and their noodles fresh and delicious. The meat is perfect. If you've ever had overcooked shaved beef in Pho Thai, you know that is important. My family loves the cream puffs served with the meal as well. This is the only food that anyone in my family wants when they're not feeling well. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Honestly, the only reason that I didn't give them the whole five stars is that I know five star Yelp reviews are sometimes regarded as suspicious and I want this review to be beneficial to these nice people and their...
Read moreThis place was good before and I came to this restaurant for many years when it was pho than brothers and was always delicious with great service, but unfortunately nothing good ever last. It's completely new owners now and they have changed the name to le's pho. they are trying mislead customers by saying it's the same management, but I have been going to the original restaurant for about 6 years now and I didn't recognize a single face. Worst of all, the food is terrible now.The pho has absolutely no flavor at all and the meat tasted rancid and disgusting. Not even hoisin sauce could save it. Then there's the cream puffs that are no longer given as a appetizer before a meal. The dishonest young cat working the register tried to pull the wool over my eyes and tell me that the reason the changed the name was because they no longer serve cream puffs. When he told me that, i asked why the pho tasted so horrible now? And let him know that I had been a customer of the old owners for a good 6 years now and he had no response, even though he assured my brother and I that it was the same pho and that they were the same "management" ,that was a blatant lie. Don't go to this restaurant if you are not ready for the disappointment. Stay away, save your money. I would give it negative 5 stars for this horrible experience and being lied to. I am very disturbed and won't be...
Read moreI have been eating here since it was Than Brothers, now called Le's Pho. Not much has changed with the great, fast service or the looks of the interior restaurant.. but I am always a to-go order now anyways. The broth is always flavorful and the soup additions are always fresh (thai basil, jalapeño, lime, bean sprouts). I order the veggie, which comes with tofu and mushrooms, broccoli and carrots, onions and cilantro. The small is plenty generous in portion and the price is beyond fair. My only disappointment is the spring rolls. They atlre one of my favorite fresh foods and unfortunately, these were very basic and underwhelming. I order without the pork... but it contains noodle, shrimp and lettuce. That's it. No carrot, cucumber, nothing. Every other restaurant I've ordered from (and persobal choice when we make them at home), there is always more crunch, variety and flavor. The shrimp had a rubbery texture and the peanut sauce was very runny. I gave it another go on a different day and again was equally...
