Viet's Phoody — Restaurant in Renton

This place is a hidden gem. This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurant in the West side of Wa for me personally. We had the Pho Dac Biet(meats combo) and Vermicelli bowl with Grilled pork, shrimps, and eggs rolls. Both dishes hit the spot for us. The Pho was flavorful and very fragrance ( which i found lack at many other Vietnamese restaurant because they either skimmed the bone while cooking broth or doesn't prepped their spices correctly). The vermicelli was absolutely the best one i found so far, their pork and shrimp was marinated with homemade sauce (tasted just like those i ate in Vietnam), not some generic teriyaki sauce, their dipping/dressing sauce for the vermicelli was nice and balanced between sweet and salty. Overall 10/10 for both the food and service. Definitely coming back soon next visit.

Feb 19th, 2023, came back with family and friends for breakfast when visiting the west side. Food quality is top notch still! Services were friendly and patient with us(we had few kiddos age from 2-4). HIGHLY RECOMMEND bánh mì (Vietnamese baguette), their was perfect portions with both the meat and veggies (so fresh and good i ate it before i had a chance to take a picture of it whole). Everyone was very satisfied and fill after the meal. If you're hesitate whether or not to give this place a try, you should because the foods and atmosphere is...

Solid authentic Vietnamese place in the area.

Service is on point, always nice and friendly and efficient. Waters are always filled and requests are done with a smile and urgency.

*Banh Mi Chao was one of the table’s favorites. The beef was tender and the bread was perfect. Highly recommend.

*Chicken Rice Combo Plate is my usual to go rice plate. Ask for a side of soup (Extra charge but worth it) (They have the popular grilled pork and Short ribs combo rice plates as well- I’m just more of a chicken person lol)

*Pho is also pretty solid and not too sweet or salty with enough meat in it.

*Banh Mi Sandwich also was decent and good. My brother in law ordered it 2 times in a row when we visited.

*Tofu Lemongrass Rice plate was flavorful and delicious. I was able to take home some leftovers.

Kiddos like the kids meals. They even have sweet and sour chicken and chicken rice plate for the kids.

I definitely prefer this place over Cat Sang. It’s much more clean and the service on point. I’m going to try the drunken chicken next since it looks like a lot of people on the reviews...

Not all Pho spots are created equal! I'm by far a connoisseur of Pho, but I know what I like and I have been to many a Pho spots of varying price ranges. This neighborhood jewel is super cute. The interior walls are covered in a beautiful mural and the place is clean. The food came fairly quick, but no one came by afterward, so we had to flag them down everything we needed something. It wasn't a huge deal, although they did forget to bring my friends tea so we had to ask for it again. I got the N4. Spicy Lemongrass beef rib PHO with no noodles, just veggies and protein, and extra onions and Cilantro. While it was good, it was good, but the broth was a bit bland. I didn't really taste lemongrass at all, nor was it spicy. Even as a regular pho broth, it tasted a little watered down. The Garlic calamari was delicious. The batter was light and the calamari tender. My friend ordered the beef rib hot pot, which had all the same ingredients as pho, but just in a hot pot. While it wasn't as flavorful as I hoped, it still hit the spot and I would go back to dry...
