The Best Pho & Thai — Restaurant in Renton

We stopped going here during lockdown, but we're back now because the food is outstanding.

First of all, let's talk about the fresh spring rolls. They're huge - they use whole leaves of green leaf lettuce and large rice paper sheets, so every roll is cut in half and basically you get four pieces in an order (and the pieces are about the same size as the two rolls you get in other restaurants). The peanut sauce is delicious. Savory and just a little bit sweet. Plus, as a special treat they fry a rolled up wrapper and put it in the middle of the roll for just a taste of crispy fried yumminess. Plenty of whole shrimp (not halves) make for a great starter.

I got the rice combo. Meats and prawns nicely grilled and some lettuce, cucumber and tomato on the side. The pickled vegetables were perfect - sweet and sour and salty and still a bit crisp. And cut into julienne so they have a nice heft. Nice sauce - again not too sweet.

My daughter got the steak and brisket pho. It was the biggest regular portion we've ever seen. We ordered for pickup and all the different components were packaged separately so she could mix it all to taste. I have regular and small bowls for pho and she got a smaller bowl from the cabinet. But after everything started filling it up, she switched to a bigger bowl. She ate about half for dinner and then took the leftovers home. (I only ate half of my rice plate - there'll be plenty for another meal.)

The service is competent and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Especially considering the amount of food you get. Hope you give them a try if you're anywhere...

First of all, when you come to a restaurant, what would you want? You would like staff to treat you in decent ways as even if their foods don't taste like the best, they still have some big impacts and you keep coming back every time you craving for foods. I will definitely come back, not only because every meal we enjoyed had a variety of options and was flavorful but also because the prices were so reasonable. In addition to a nice meal, we had a delightful waiter, Kyle. He had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. I came with my friends, we ordered a Phad Thai tofu 4 stars, it was really really hot, (I suggest you should keep in mind this place is Vietnamese and THAI food, so their level of spiciness might be higher than you think you can handle) He quickly acknowledged that I was burning. Just a few seconds, he gently brought a little cup of milk and a glass of warm water for me. He said he didn't know which one will do better for me so he brought both of it. How nice and thoughtful he was! He recognized that we wanted time and did not rush us. He and other staff made certain that we had everything we needed. If you guys are viewing this, just only one suggestion: should have a gluten-free menu and vegetarian option in...

I never give bad reviews but I'm thoroughly confused. I created an order on their website at about 830 pm and by the time I arrived at 845 pm they had cancelled it with no explanation. I walked into the lit restaurant with the big "open" neon sign and addressed the employees behind the counter telling them "you guys just cancelled my digital order for some reason, so I guess I need to order?" They looked at me thoroughly confused and said nothing then turned to the kitchen and said something then turned around and told me the kitchen is closed. To be fair, the restaurant was totally empty. I don't think they were lying or anything. But Google AND their own website and their big neon sign all said they were open. I was back in the car by 847 and totally mystified. There's a sign on the door with the hours but I didn't check that. So, I'm not sure if that would have said something else but... the neon sign seemed pretty clear? I don't get it. By the time I knew all this my chance for going to any other local Pho was gone. I'm not walking in to a place 10 minutes before they close asking for food. So not only did I not get their pho for the first time... I didn't get any pho at all. That's the...
