Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese in Shoreline

I hadn't eaten at this restaurant in a few years, but the food today reminded me why this is one of my favorite places to go to for Vietnamese food. We started off with some spring rolls, which were bigger than we expected. While my friends ordered the pho with rare beef and the charbroiled pork skewer with vermicelli, I ordered the pho with well-done beef. I also got the banh xeo for us to share because I really liked it when my friend's dad made it for us several years ago. Overall, we were all very satisfied by our selection and would not hesitate to come back when we're in the mood for some Vietnamese food.

Love the free lychee water drink that automatically gets served with your meal!! I’ve never seen that anywhere before, and it’s wonderfully refreshing. They bring you tea as well. The rest of the food is pretty decent (we ordered pho, bun rieu, and cha gio). Prices are a bit high for Vietnamese but perhaps I’m comparing to California. Not bad for Shoreline! 👍🏼

Delicious food! Don't let the small parking lot scare you away!! Definitely a must try

Nestled in a small shopping strip on a busy road with limited seating. But if you can get in, it's a great place to eat. Friendly staff, friendly patrons, and excellent food. The pho is quite good and comes in generous portions. Great prices as well!

Came here for a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed. Great service followed by even better food! They give you water with coconut or something in the water for flavor. I'm not a fan of it myself but my buddy loved it and I haven't seen another place do it before.

I haven’t back to here for almost 2 years. But when people ask me where is the best pho place in Seattle area, I will tell them pho99

My wife and I come here every week. Delicious food and quick service. Best Pho spot around

I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years. I usually order the rare beef pho, chicken pho with extra veggies or the delicious noodle salad.After moving around quite a bit, I found myself missing my hometown Pho 99. With all the changes happening on Aurora, I truly hope they can continue to be a mainstay. Lay off this place developers! You’ll have a city of pho-fiends to answer to.

Good flavor in the soup, skewers marinated sweet BBQ and with lemongrass, lychee, syrup & water sure to be a hit with kids! (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧

Good food good service

This is the place that every friend of mine that is from Vietnam has recommend with out knowing our other friends have also recommended it. Great menu, great options, love the water they give you with the meal (water with a twist). This place has difficult parking, is small, and the wait can be a little long because they can be busy...but it is worth it. They deserve a bigger place for how good it is, but they know what they are doing so I would not want to change a thing. The guy that works there is great, and took our friend from Northern Africa there and it was like watching a child discover sugar for the first time.

Fantastic food (and I don't like Asian food but here i loved it

I used to live downtown in the ID and my pho place there was Pho Bac a.k.a. The Red Boat. Since I moved to Edmonds this has become my go to pho place. The broth is awesome and it's served the same way with the same condiments.

Hidden Treasure!- the food was all amazing, and service was fast despite the rush. Our kids were half way behaved as well :) one thing- I loved the fruit water they served but the kids refused to drink it so be warned. Otherwise, we had the pho and I couldn't be happier. It was the beefy version not the anise one. The combo chowmein was great and not oily. The fresh spring rolls are perfect, and the fried spring rolls were compact and crispy. Enjoy!!

I come here from Renton for the Banh Canh Cua. A Vietnamese friend of mine first introduced me to this dish years ago and I can't seem to find one quite like they serve at Pho 99 close to home. Chunks of real crab, thick noodles and a deliciously flavor packed crab soup. The lychee water is the perfectly refreshing touch to finish off the meal. I don't get to come up often but whenever I do, I am so relieved that the taste hasn't changed.

We live in the area and have been eating here for years. Very good, very fresh and very consistent! We are pleased that they have maintained the quality.

The pho #12 was excellent! Generous portions even for the small. The spring rolls were also generous and fresh. The service was quick and friendly and they offered lychee water and hot tea for no charge. I highly recommend for great pho!

Ordered crab noodle soup, didn't like it. Thought it used to be better. Now it tastes like overpriced crab. Couldn't even finish. Maybe other dishes could be better

Parking is very limited. We came twice after 8pm to avoid the crowd and was told they closed already. Apparently they close early for Halloween or soccer games or who knows what. Husband loves the lychee drink. I think it’s too sweet. Pho is on stronger flavor side but we both love it.

This place has great tasty pho!!!

I really didn't think it was going to be good. BUT it was spot on. I have the veggie Pho, big and full if tasty stuff. 11 bucks for the big soup. The lychee drink and free tea are a nice touch.

We were welcomed with fresh peeled lychee water & spiced tea. If there water and tea was this tasty I couldn’t wait to taste their broth, but I got the Vietnamese pancakes instead. The waiter showed me how to properly eat them inside the lettuce leaf when he saw I was doing it wrong. It was yummy. I didn’t have leftovers.

good restaurant! the photo of the steak tastier than the Vietnamese cafes of this kind, the price is acceptable, not overpriced, inside on the floor, tables and toilet, cleaner than you expect in advance, this is certainly good, and marks them for the better. staff friendly, modest, professional service can be seen with no armed gaze. people who work in it, exactly in the right place. a lot of interesting and important in pure bottles of additives. Thank you, do not slow down!

First time here and luckily found 2 parking spots left out of like 8? The place is small and homey. We got surprised with lychee water my favorite. Noticed there was 10% off if paid by cash. We ordered and food came out about 15 minutes later, one dish wAs forgotten. The food was good especially the nuoc mam. The portion sizes are big. The place is about 1$ more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurant.

It was very nice and clean inside. I ordered the no.9 which was delicious, the hot tea was wonderful.

My favorite local Vietnamese restaurant. I love the special rice with pork chop. Service is great.

Who would have thought that a gem like this would be in a little place on Aurora. Presentation was almost too pretty to eat. Will definitely be back.

Heard this authentic Vietnamese restaurant is the best pho restaurant around north Seattle. I realized that since I just got the seat, when they served lychee water and lotus hot tea on my table. The lychee water surprised me with its refreshment. The pho tasted freash with its well balanced broth, which is not over seasoned. I didn't feel thirty after having the broth like some other restaurants. I think this is a great authentic Vietnamese restaurant to have a good Vietnamese meal.

I really enjoyed eating here! The food portions were just right and the lychee water was just right for the spicy soup that I ordered.I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and my friend got the crab tomato soup. Both were delicious and probably the best we've had yet here in Seattle. Unpretentious, simple decor. Tasty Vietnamese food. The right priceb point too.

Alaskan Crab Noodle with crispy DonutReal Flavour Saigon Broken Rice, this is the real authentic Com Tam Saigon around Seattle.

Food was very good. Was quick to our tables we had 12 in our party. There was sufficient amount. I ha spicy pro was very good

At Pho 99 Authentic Vietnamese the complimentary lychee water was a plus--you don't need to order a drink if you eat something flavored. We only came in for an appetizer but first impression is that the place is neat on the inside and homey in appearance. Don't be fooled by the sun-worn outside appearance! Thai iced tea was a bit heavy on cream but still tasty nonetheless.

Great place! Our meal started with complimentary delicious lychee juice and hot tea. The fresh spring rolls were fantastic! I ordered the rice vermicelli with pork, personally I didn't prefer the seasoning for the pork (a little too sweet for me) but I loved everything else. I'm excited to try more from them!

Nicely located restaurant to get your hot pho fix. The staff has been running this place for a long time and provide great service. The pho itself is great, and it comes with a nice drink which to me feels like a signature item. Have fun parking on busier days though, as it can get cramped.

The lychee water they give is really good

Longan honey ice water and ice coffee are both good. Food is also good. Parking kinda small. 0.75$ additional charge for paying by cards. Will come back. 5 stars.

One of the best pho restaurants I've been too. Clean broth, lychee water, and crab pho

The complimentary lychee water is the best! And they still give you hot tea. Their fresh spring roll is still the long thick shrimp pork combo like the good old times, a lot of other pho places only do skinny little shrimp or pork spring rolls. The spicy beef noodle has the thick round Bún that I like but less weird spices. If you are nearby, be sure to get your Pho here. Better pay cash cuz card payments has an added ¢75 charge.

This is literally one of the best places for Vietnamese food and one of the only places my own mother will endorse. Would recommend the Bun Rieu (crab soup) and Com Dac Biet (broken rice combo) if you want to try something other than the typical Pho.

The food is great, but parking is difficult, so plan ahead and give yourself extra time to get out of the small parking lot!

Was in area for work, read online reviews of this restaurant, and decided to try it out. Only a few minutes walk from my motel, enjoyed a large bowl of delicious pho, with bbq pork, egg noodles, and variety of vegetables. Huge serving for under $11, well done.

Loved the vegetarian pho here. Easily one of the best Phos I've eaten in Seattle.

Authentic. I love that they include lychee in the water, great touch. Suggest you order ahead, or for takeout, if it's later in the evening... PS fresh rolls!

Best service and the food is SO delicious!!! This is one of my few favorite restaurants, wish I can eat here everyday!!

I’ve had broken rice and bánh canh (Vietnamese udon here). The best broken rice in Seattle, the egg-crab tart is a treat, bbq ribs taste like those you’ll find in Saigon. Vietnamese udon comes with real crab (3 gigantic pieces. I thought it was Japanese fake crab, boy I was so wrong)

Amazing amount if beef tendon in my order <3

Good food. Fast service. Good price.

The pho is above average and the rolls are excellent.

Best pho I've had in Seattle, and that's saying a lot since there's a lot of pho parlors in Seattle. No frills decor with kind servt

Best Chicken Teriyaki EVER!
