Introducing Hot As Pho - A Vietnamese Culinary Experience

Love the pho here, decently priced and quick service. One of my favorite sports for sure!

This small business is family owned. The grilled pork was a bit tough, but other than that vermicelli is what you would want on a hot day. Service was quick and they were diligent with refilling water.

Quaint little spot next to pike place market. Across from target. Nice little spot to grab a quick bite and rest from the hustle and bustle of everything.

I was flying in from Mexico and extremely homesick for Asian food, this place hit the spot! Quick service, average prices. Recommend for small groups or working people who need a quick lunch and arrive on foot.

I really, really liked Hot As Pho. The set up is a bit different as you have to call their number posted in the door in order to let you in. I think it's a preventative measure so no unsavory characters try to come in and then they can't get them to leave. If you do call they answer the door right away. I came here super hungry and got a good Vermicelli Bowl with Pork but was still hungry so I got a Pork Banh Mi Sandwich and it was fantastic! It literally melted in my mouth and was so very flavorful. Between the bowl and the sandwich two different transactions were done as you pretty much have to pay after placing an order and I wasn't sure if I was going to eat more so that is arranged a bit differently too. When I ordered my sandwich I also got their dessert too which was very good as well. Really good sticky rice and banana. Despite some things being atypical here the food is really good and service is very efficient!

Some pretty good food! We came around lunchtime on a Saturday and there were a few groups inside but not too many. We were seated quickly and given the menus and water promptly. We got the bun bo hue and spring rolls. The soup was nice and flavorful, and not oily while the rice noodles had the perfect texture and bite. It was super comforting on a chilly day outside. The spring rolls were also great -- well fried and a flavorful filling. Gets the job done if you need a nice noodle soup!

Good pho and quick service. The staff was quick to service everyone. Pho was flavorful.

We were in the Downtown Seattle area and saw the name of this restaurant and decided to stop by this place for lunch. We were seated once we stepped inside. The dining area was decorated with Vietnamese decorations and even had a tv playing Vietnamese music videos. I ordered their Pho with meat, tripe and tendon. The food came pretty quickly. Right about the same time as when I came back from washing my hands. The broth was light and the meat was soft and tender. The pho did have some decent pieces of tripe and tendon. The staff was friendly and looked like it was family owned. I would come back here if I'm ever back in the Seattle area.

We had lunch here and ordered the large pho tai chin nam (#12) and the banh mi ga nuong which is a grilled chicken sandwich. We liked the food, especially the pho. The prices are good for the area and considering the recent inflation hikes everywhere, the portions are not super big though. Service was fast. The only thing to be aware is that you're asked to pay shortly after you order your food and there is a credit card charge if you choose to use one.
