the seattle pho-natics! our club arrived at pho bac in the early evening. we had called ahead around 4 hours prior to our arrival and told them we would be coming in around 5:30pm for a group of a minimum of 16 and they said there wouldnt be a problem seating us. well when we go there we were told that nobody called and they werent expecting such a large group. so needless to say we had to put tables together and kind of "make do" with what we could. so that was a disappointment. the restaurant is clean, bathrooms are clean, but part of the ceiling had nails sticking out from it! rather odd.
service: as mentioned above, they said that "nobody called" when the reality of it, i did, personally, but being we had 16-18peoplethere, they were quite prompt at serving us. the staff were very friendly as well.
price: the price was the same as most pho restaurants. there were 2 sizes: small for $6.00 and large for $7.00 no medium size and cash only!
broth: the pho was actually very good! we all enjoyed it. however many of us later were chugging down water, so the broth must have been a little on the salty side. but that didnt stop most of us from finishing our pho. very tasty to the palate!
selection: from what i saw on the menu, they dont offer alcohol. but they have a variety of other drinks. they also have more than just pho. some of the pho-natics chose something other than pho off the menu and really enjoyed it! so there are other items to choose from. they do have a vegetarian pho for those of you that dont eat meat products. the also do have a list of appetizers, for the pre-pho nibbling!
location: in the international district. parking is difficult and only street parking is available, so make sure you get there early if meetingpeoplethere.
score: if we had to score pho bac on a scale of 1-10, i believe that we all as an average will give it a 8/10 for these reasons: 1. the parking can be challenging being all street parking 2. called ahead to notify them of our group and when we arrived they told us "nobody called". otherwise for price and the taste of great pho, pho bac is a great choice! thank you pho bac!!!! make sure you view our pictures as well from our club meeting here at pho bac on yelp!
