Omg, this place is soo good! I had been looking for a new pho restaurant because my previous one had been meh the last 3 visits, so after some searching I came across Pho Bothell; The reviews were promising, and decided to go for it. It did not disappoint, the food was great, the service was on point, I had 0 complaints. Now on the price, you can eat for $10-20 per person, my S.O. & I got the most expensive drinks on the menu & appetizers, so the price we paid reflected that. Meals were $11-16 per person depending on what you got. Extras pho veggies were $0.50, extra meat was $3.00, & a side of broth was $5.75. Both the chicken and beef pho broth was flavorful and delicious, we didn't try the veggie or seafood pho, but if they're like the ones we tried then they will be wonderful! I got their grilled pork with shredded pork & fried egg combo, and you won't believe how much flavor is packed in! And the grilled chicken spring rolls were amazing! There literally wasn't anything we got that we didn't enjoy. The location is a bit hard to see from the main road (Bothell/Everett hwy), but it is well worth...

A decent pho restaurant along the Bothell Everett highway. The broth is pretty clear and has a more neutral flavor (not as much spices) to it compared to other pho restaurants I've been to. Broth was still really good though and service was fast.

Food I got the rare steak and brisket large pho, my favorite. The broth had a pretty neutral, simple flavor which I could appreciate. The beef was good and had a good amount that came out. Overall a solid pho, but I wouldn't drive out here specifically for it when there's another pho place by my home.

The tofu spring roll was good as well. I think the sauce here is really unique because it's not like peanut sauce I've had at other places.

Atmosphere Quiet and dark, there is a low key kind of atmosphere. Plenty of space and seating. Kind of feels like a place where you just dine before heading home.

Pricing Standard prices for pho and fair for the quality that you get.

Service Good service and the server was very nice. He have some tips to my mom about how to eat the bang xeo she...
