Best place for consistency when buying a favorite bowl of PHO. I didn't give 5-stars since the price for the PHO has skyrocketed.
This place is my go-to for pho and has been since my university days! The portions are generous and flavorful, even for delivery/takeout orders! When the weather turns cold or I feel poorly, this place is the first place I look for that warming, filling comfort food.
My husband and I have been coming here for two years. It is our absolute favorite spot for a good bowl of Pho. The owner and staff are kind and service is quick. Our bowls always come out in five minutes or less even when they are busy. The broth is incredible, and all the ingredients are fresh and high quality. Also, the restaurant itself is clean and cozy. We would recommend this spot to anyone!
I've been here since I was a kid. They still have the free cream puff that they serve when you come in. It really makes the experience so good. Not only that, the food comes out quick too! Broth tastes so good I didn't have to change anything with sauces provided on the side. Lots of meat in their VERY largely portioned bowls. The prices are so nice too! Around $15 for a large size? Don't forget to say hi to the fish as you walk in
I have both eaten in house as well as ordered delivery from this restaurant on UberEats, and every time I am satisfied with the quality of the food! In person the service is amazing and because of the nature of the preparation, very quick, no matter which way you order your pho fix! Than Brothers has a special recipe to their broth that is unique to their chain. The consistency of that recipe execution makes Than Brothers #1 for my pho fix! I got the rare beef in medium this time and I am shocked at how much beef they gave me! Best food for comfort and I hope they never close!
Literally the best pho ever! I’ve been coming here all my life and have yet to find any place that comes close!
Quick review: •Good quality pho •Has freebie cream puff •Affordable price •Good, clean environment •Friendly service; staff lunch break at 3:30pm •Accepts credit card but takes &.50 sub charge I had been to other Than Brothers locations, but it was the first on this one. The other pho place I patronized a lot in the past has significantly increased the price, thus sadly, not as affordable anymore. After all our goal of searching good food is affordability but not sacrificing the quality. Than Brothers at Wallingford, the other pho place I visited sometimes, has stopped offering the yummy cream puff with their pho last few times I been there. I was surprised to see that they have the cream puff on the menu at the Edmonds restaurant still, and more surprised to see that they gave me one with my pho! Whoa! I like this place. Pho is good, hot, big as usual. I decided to order a medium in here, because I saw the fresh salad rolls on the menu too. The rolls were very decent. No crunchy pieces inside, but fresh and well packed. The price of the food items are reasonable and still affordable. When I came in at 3:10pm I saw a sign outside states “Staff lunch break 3:30pm”, but I don’t think they closed the door during that time. And they do charge a fee of $0.50 for using the credit card.
