Typical pho spot type of atmosphere. Cozy and brings you your delicious bowl without too much fuss. However, the fuss is all about the fresh noodles that come standard with all their bowls of pho. I am so thankful I found this place! I’ll do a poor job of explaining it but essentially the noodles are thicker and slipperily than standard pho noodle noodles and almost have a pasta like consistency but man do they really bump pho up the texture of pho up a couple of notches. The fresh noodle come with all their pho unless asked for otherwise, make sure you want to experience this delight and if not they can sub for dry noodles and their broth is still kicking. Give it a shot!

This is pretty much the only pho place I’ve found in the Seattle Area that does authentic noodles (what you actually find in Vietnam) . Love them. Broth and shredded chicken are both solid.

We tried Island Pho recently because it was closer then driving to Factoria or Seattle, and we are glad we did! Since going a few months ago, we have been back multiple times. My wife's go-to is the chicken pho and mine is the lemongrass chicken vermicelli. Service has always been laid back but accommodating and the meals are prepared quickly. Also, you get a decent portion of good food for a reasonable price. We really like this place!

I ate here after my yoga class close by. I was craving something healthy. It was fresh and delicious. I ordered the regular veggie pho and it came with tofu cabbage and lots of veggies, homemade rice pho noodles. The price was 12.75 before tax. I would come back again as this is at least my 2nd time dining here.

My husband and I stopped here on our way out of Seattle and enjoyed a potsticker appetizer along with a lemongrass beef vermicelli and Beef Yakisoba. Both tasted so fresh and flavorful. Originally we looked at our meals and thought... “we are going to need to-go boxes”.... But ended up eating it all! The staff was friendly and the space was nice and clean. If I lived in the area I would eat here ALL the time!

Very tasty Pho and fried rice here! The fried rice could have looked better with some garnishing but I don’t really mind, as long as the food taste good. Very friendly service as well! Their menu have a variety of option for you too choose. Definitely coming back here to try other dishes.

One of the best Pho places in the Seattle area. We had the combination Pho, the short rib Pho, and the grilled pork chop & shrimp over vermicelli to go. All were delicious. Flavorable broth, tasty meats & seafood, and plentiful.

This hidden little gem is fantastic. I am a big fan of the Teriyaki Beef Short Rib dish (see photo). The staff is so sweet, and the food is always fresh and hot.
