Pho House Deli

No photos of the food, as I got it to go and demolished it in the car, but please enjoy this photo of the view from their window bar seats! I ordered a tofu banh mi - delicious, the bread was crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside, incredibly flavorful and filling. 10/10 best banh mi I've had outside of Saigon Deli in Seattle. I also ordered a side of pho broth because I was curious, and it was incredibly flavorful, no hoisin or enhancements needed unless you wanted to add a kick of spiciness. Waited quite a bit for my order because regulars were ordering banh mi's by the dozen online and they only had 2 people out front and seemed like 2 people cooking, so I would highly recommend you order online first then come pick it up if you are ordering to go. But other than that, the food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. Will definitely be coming back!

Nestled along the north end of Lake Washington, Pho House Deli is a true gem where exceptional food meets heartfelt hospitality. The lake views alone are worth the visit, but if you time it right, you might catch the mesmerizing sight of seaplanes gliding in and out several times an hour. It’s a uniquely Pacific Northwest bonus that adds a touch of wonder to your meal. Steve, one of the family owners, exemplifies what great customer service should be. He personally checked our order, guided us through the menu with genuine care, and when I asked for two extra sides of their addictive peanut butter dipping sauce for my shrimp fresh rolls, which I offering to pay for, he simply smiled and said, “Not necessary, I got you.” That kind of generosity sticks with you. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered: No. S1 - Mi Xao: Stir-fried egg noodles with mixed vegetables and chicken. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and satisfying No. A1 - Goi Cuon: Two fresh spring rolls with shrimp, paired with that unforgettable peanut sauce No. 15 - Bun Cha Gio: Vermicelli with grilled pork and crispy egg rolls. Bold flavors To top it off, we sipped on two boba teas: mango and honeydew. I’m usually a mango loyalist, but the honeydew surprised me, it was the ideal refreshment for a late summer day in Seattle. And here’s a bonus for gamers and Halo fans: the walls are adorned with nine signed Halo posters, each autographed by the developers themselves. The restaurant originally operated in Kirkland near Halo’s former HQ, and Steve’s brother-in-law, one of the developers, helped secure the autographs. It’s a cool slice of gaming history tucked into a cozy Vietnamese eatery. The restroom was exceptionally clean! And that is a major bonus. With delicious food, generous service, and a lakeside view that includes seaplanes and signed Halo memorabilia, it’s one of the most memorable dining experiences in the area and an absolute must try!

I tired this restaurant on the recommendation of my son and it did not disappoint. The food was probably the second best in Seattle and the coffee was definitely legitimately made as I remembered. I highly suggest giving this place a try and while it was dark and I couldn't see the lake; I'm sure it was beautiful.
