UnPhogettable — Restaurant in North Bend

Yoooooo this pho spot is on point!!!!

Took the family here with my little one who is 2 years old. She hasn’t quite figured out how to patiently wait for her food yet so my wife and I have this action plan of ordering a kids pho before we are even seated to minimize the wait time.

Wait staff were on top of it and took our entire family order and food came out super fast.

Kiddo slurped up all of her noodles. Wife ate every last bite of her rare steak pho. I got the large brisket pho and it was perfectly trimmed high grade cuts of beef. Some spots have that extra fat and gristle but this was all meat perfectly trimmed for every delicious bite. What made it special is that the chili sauce is made in house and has that homemade flavor that you can’t get from production siraccha.

We also ordered the spring rolls which came with some cha lua or aka Vietnamese pork roll. Hella good and perfect as an appetizer.

Wife and I also got the Thai ice tea and the lychee Thai basil. Thai ice tea has that extra umph of tea flavor that other spots are lacking. The lychee Thai basil drink tho knocked my socks off. Even the kiddo that chugging that drank like it was the elixir of life.

Food was so delicious that staff said he had to try the avocado, sun dried tomato egg rolls. Okay - this dish was unreal! Totally would never think it would be a good combo but with the dipping sauce it was like eating at a Michelin star restaurant.

Also the staff is super nice, quick and very accommodating.

Decor and atmosphere is clean and perfect to bring kids and the whole family.

Will definitely be coming back again and...

The staff is very friendly and since it was my first time he offered suggestions of what to order, which I accepted, and it turned out pretty good. My oldest son who loves pho took me and my youngest son there, who had never had pho either. They both Loved it and understood how to eat it and such. I guess I'm just used to Chinese food. The staff did come over and ask how I was doing. And after showing me where the forks were stacked on the table I started to use the fork & laddle, instead of the chop sticks & laddle, and I did enjoy it more. Very filling. I had a small bowl and my kids each had large. We had a full container left over! Nice. I would recommend this place but only 1 weird thing. We got 1 soup to go. If you see the pic I posted, the meat came raw in a baggie on top if the vegtables and I had to call them to find out what to do. Was I supposed to cook the meat myself or they just forgot? I guess I'm supposed to cook it. Oh well, still a good place to eat just prepared to get messy, especially when you try to pour your left overs in the...

Update: 3/11 was helped by a young woman in glasses today. She offered a friendly welcome, was fast and efficient. Everything I ordered was included (first time) in the bag. Best service I've received there. She even said thank you which I've never had happen at unphogettable.

Food is really good. But...the service is non-existent. They are not too friendly. No "hello" whatsoever. No "thank you" when they ask you to tip (I did 20%) prior to eating which is probably good for them as they get paid extra and don't have to do anything for it. Nobody checks on you to see how your food is or if you'd like to order anything else. All of this was happening, or not happening, at dinner hour while it was just us (2) and one other table that was done eating. I've been in the food and beverage industry for nearly 30 years and the employees (the owner and her family members) reeeeeally need to start treating people who choose to spend their hard-earned money at their establishment, keeping them in business, nicer. But... the...
