Pho On Broadway — Restaurant in Everett

So to start off, the pho isn't actually half bad. It's decent and when you crave it you want to go here. The spring rolls are very good and the broth for pho is pretty good too. I've been here about 6-7 different times because the owner himself was always VERY friendly to myself and my 2 other fellow coworkers who also frequent this place. After the 3rd time we kinda noticed that maybe the prices were a little steep compared to what they were advertised, but didn't really think anything of it because we "trusted" the owner. I noticed that when we ordered the large that the noodles and beef portions didn't seem to be any more than a small bowl of pho (just more broth). Today (12.5.2016) I decided to get a bowl of pho ($7.50 small bowl+$1.50 extra noodles= $9.00 so far, just follow me) and a can of Xing tea ($3.50). If you add those up that comes to $12.50 and I figured in at the highest WITH tax to be 10% (this is Everett and not Seattle which Seattle has the highest tax of 9.6%) so if you add the 10% that's $1.25 and WITH that on top of the meal it comes to $13.75 and when I went to pay he charged me $15.16 and still asked for a tip. I brought it to his attention he overcharged and he still insisted he was right (which he is absolutely NOT!). A distrustful owner and even furthermore a fellow Viet he had lost 3 faithful customers of which "I" personally tipped 30% tip EVERYTIME, but after today it kind of infuriates me that he feels he needs to take advantage of faithful customers who tip well and frequent his business. I'll be sure to let EVERYONE know about him...

My friend and I were looking for a new place to eat. We decided to give this place a shot as we both typically enjoy pho. That being said, they use a lot of MSG in the food giving it a salty, pre-packaged flavor along with that typical aftertaste. Also, it's really expensive for the quality and what you get. The decor is bland and the place is filthy. The floor was sticky when I stepped in as if they used dirty water to clean it. Judging by the stickiness to the tabletop, they may have used that same water there as well. The place has a slight smell of mildew detectable over the smell of the food. The service was terrible and the owner is a complete jerk. When I asked a question about the menu, he just scoffed and said I was being too noisy. Later when we said goodbye, he just looked away and I heard him mutter a "whatever" type remark. Lastly the bathroom was so disgusting I decided to hold it till later... and I'm a guy who has been in some disgusting places that did not bother me. If not for my buddy wanting to stay, I would have left. He really didn't enjoy it at all either and said he will never go back,...

I’ve given this place multiple attempts over the years and after this last visit, I’m done. The owner, first of all, is rude. He tosses a menu down and walks off and never brings out water. I always have to ask. The portions are way too small for the price, and the pho is bland at best. Pho Thai in south Everett has much better food. I watched three customers come in while I was eating and wait nearly five minutes before the owner even came out to take their order, and this was after they rang the bell for service twice. Edit-3 years later- I decided to go back today because I worried my last review was a little too harsh. Turns out it wasnt. The owner is just as unpleasant as he was the last time, I STILL didnt get any water, and now the smallest bowl is a little over 16 dollars. I understand inflation has hit everyone hard but thats just excessive...
