I don't know what happened to the rating, but the restaurant definitely deserves better than the current 3.9 stars. We visited at 8pm on Friday and waited about 15 minutes before being served. It definitely took longer than its another location, but pho still tasted amazing.

pho bac is a very popular lunch spot in downtown seattle, near the amazon spheres and headquarters. they were very busy when we went around 12.30pm, and were told that it would be a 10-20 min wait for a table. so. we opted for takeout instead. i ordered pho suon bo (beef rib pho) and was surprised to receive four large, meaty beef ribs in my pho. the beef was tender and juicy, and of course, a very generous portion. i thought the packaging was very cute too. the broth was fragrant and noodles were well cooked although they weren’t separated for my takeaway. the staff were friendly and we all enjoyed our meals.

Stopped in here after a long flight and were very glad we did. Place only had a little over 4 stars in Google Reviews but it certainly deserved 5. Wife and I ordered the spring rolls, beef rib pho, and the pork banh mi, all of which were excellent if not some of the best examples we had ever eaten. Prices were very fair and I'm sure we'll be back during our conference. Also, the food came out super fast, probably the fastest I've ever been served. This place was extremely efficient without sacrificing taste or quality.

Yummy pho and one of the best banh mi in the US. Generous portion. Fresh herbs. Clean place. Nice staff.

Terrific experience! The original pho folks in Seattle that started the pho boat restaurant experience on Jackson hit all the points at this new downtown location. The broth was hot & full of flavor. The noodles perfect. The meats were tender & extremely tasty. QR code makes ordering very easy. Definitely be back!

Excellent food with large portions for the beef rib pho. Pork ban mi was very moist and flavorful with a fresh baguette.

Had the usual Vietnamese place in the big city, the pho was surprisingly delicious and the broth was on point. Atmosphere and vibe was great, while the staff was friendly and welcoming.

I got takeout from this place, and went with the Pho Dac Biet, which was pho with a combination of a bunch of different cuts of meat Since it was takeout, the pho, meats, noodles, and other things (like bean sprouts) were each given in a separate container, and i found a bowl large enough and mixed everything together Starting with the broth, this was actually wonderful. It was pretty thin, but managed to maintain a richness to it that was quite nice. Additionally, it had that warmth to it that just makes you feel better inside. I feel like this would be a perfect place to get takeout from if you're sick, because it would be one of the few things you can eat that would make you feel way better afterwards. It was extremely well spiced and flavored as well All the different meats were also pretty good. While I don't think I can identify most of the ones individually, one of the ones I did - the meatballs - were very enjoyable, as they soaked up a lot of the broth and tasted great. I do think there could've been a little more meat, but out of what was there - I certainly liked it The noodles were fine - nothing too incredible - but they did their job and retained their softness well, even when some of the leftovers were refrigerated The portion size here was incredible - particularly the broth. There was so much broth I didn't even know what to do with. The amount of noodles provided was also very strong. his dish ended up lasting me two full meals, and at a price of 17, I believe is very justified Overall, I generally do not like pho, but this place has made an exception to that rule. 8.75/10
