Le's Pho Tai & Sandwiches — Restaurant in Shoreline

In short, I will return...

Tonight my family and I stopped in at Le's Pho Tai for dinner. We didn't know what to expect and it wasn't recommended by anyone we knew. What we did know was that they had sandwiches and soup. I wanted soup and my wife wanted a sandwich.

One cool thing about this place is that kids get a free Capri Sun juice pouch. With dinner you'll also get orange slices and cream puffs.

Surprisingly for our early 5pm dinner this place was packed, which we don't see too often at this hour, in this neighborhood, during the week. The overall feel in the place is better than most Vietnamese places we have frequented. It's a good environment.

Our order consisted of a combo pho for me, tofu pad thai for the wife, chicken sandwich for my kids, and some eggs rolls. No extra drinks and with tip this ran us $37.

The food was fresh and I sampled it all. Some of the best pho I've had in a while. Good broth with lots of flavor. My two wishes for the soup was that they place more tendon and tripe in the bowl. One or two small pieces just didn't seem to be enough. Maybe it had something to do with a white guy asking for soup with tendon and tripe made them hold back on me. I grew up on this stuff... I can handle it! I could have used a bit more...

First time here and been trying the local pho past 2 weeks for the best spot. To go order Friday 7:00 and told 20 minutes. I showed up in 16 with food waiting. $17.12 for 1 large chicken pho after 15% tip. Wow $$$$. Normally would tip 20% but normally $10-12 not $15.

5 minutes home broth was not even warm. 5 different take out pho in last month first time I had to re boil my broth. Noodles and fixings fell out all “stuck” together. Noodles always happens but the whole thing seemed to be made up long before and bonded with the noodles.

Only 1 slice of jalapeño (why?) and 1 lime (normal) that was getting old with 1 slightly wilted stem of Thai basil. Not “freshest” but definitely seen worse. For Friday night i had higher expectations seeing the reviews.

Overall broth flavor was good, garlic w chicken was welcome touch. Need more jalapeños 100% not In question, more sprouts and more noodles. Felt like a medium at other places.

Overall ok but the premium price makes it a low value and thus won’t recommend take out. Maybe better sitting...

This pho place has the cleanest soup base. The broth is not oily and definitely uses natural and fresh ingredients from what I can taste and feel afterwards. They are generous with meat and I was impressed by how quickly they serve the food without compromises in quality. I am bringing my friends and family and have come here several times to get a quick wholesome meal before my weekend work. There's no delay even when the place reaches full capacity.

The owner here is so kind and especially with the Virgin Mary looking over the place, I had great conversation with the owner. He takes his time listening to you and remembers you. What a blessing to have a family-like restaurant not too far from where I live and work!

Totally recommend to anyone who's looking for stress-free parking place for pho with a...
