issaquah pho

our fav for vietnamese in issaquah. don't know why more there are more "likes" on urbanspoon for jennyphoand saffron deli. we've eaten at those others once only, and will nnot go back. issaquahphohas friendly service, great portions, and very tasty food.phois dependably good, curries are great (much better than jenny), and the noodle bowls a personal favorite. bahn mi are a tasty light alternative if you want something smaller or more portable. yum!

not good & i'll tell you exactly why. within the last 6 months or so this restaurant was sold and it 's no longer owned by vietnamese people. it is now owned and run by korean people and they are rude, unfriendly and not welcoming. you will not receive a friendly greeting or smile, in fact no eye contact what so ever. if you're lucky you may receive a "what you want" very reminiscent of the seinfeld soup nazi restaurant. subsequently of course the food has devolved down to something that is definitely no longer vietnamese. portions are smaller and contain less ingredients e.g. spice, herbs and body. with the plethora of really good and authenticphorestaurants where the owners welcome you, why go here where you're treated with disdain like your bothering them by patronizing the restaurant.

solidphojoint and the kids liked it too. i'll be back soon.

has gone downhill. i am a regular atphohoa because the food is consistent and quick. over the past few visits, the service has been lackluster and the portions have diminished while the prices keep increasing. if you likephohoa, you may as well drive the extra 15 minutes and go to the other location in overlake.
