The food is so tasty. My favorite vermicelli bowl with lemon grass beef and an egg roll. My partner loves the pho. If you get the large make sure you're hungry, it is no joke. The menu is really big so there is something for every one. The food comes very quickly. You can tell it's family run and a neighborhood favorite from the way they chat with the regulars. The place has a homey feel that is low key and comfortable.

This is our favorite local spot for a quick bowl of pho or a vermicelli bowl. The food is amazing, the ambiance is relaxed and it often feels like the customers have a longstanding relationship with the owners. So yeah, food is awesome, service is great, and prices are fair.

It's always consistent. It's a hole in the wall but tables are always clean. It's in a old building strip. Been going here for over 8-10 years. Beansprouts, lettuce & banana blossoms are always fresh & crunchy. Taste of broth & noodles are always on point. Always super packed on weekends esp. Sunday for lunch. Hope Seattle gets cleaned up so they can stay open longer in the evenings.

Very good pho. Portions are huge. Like the parking lot in front of the restaurant. Don't forget to pick up some dessert after your meal. We love the pandan coconut jelly.

Great food, prices and friendly service. Ive had several dishes; all of which were great. Today I returned and had pho. It was delicious - as good or better than any I've had elsewhere. Try them!!

Thien Phat is about 5 to 7 minutes south of International District on Rainier Ave S. While I normally go to CID or Little Saigon, I detoured to Thien Phat instead because they have been suffering from break-ins, thefts, and all-around criminal insanity. Since the pandemic, they fell behind on rent and is on the verge of closure after 13 years in business. Their loyal customer base is campaigning for them, and a go-fund-me is open. Vanishing Seattle, "Find Me in Seattle", and NW Asian Weekly have written/posted about them, but progress remains slow. On the day we went (9/17), we drove up to see both their front doors had smashed glass, despite having bars on their doors and windows. From their security cameras, a SUV backed into their doors then used chains to pull the bars/doors open. The only things taken are change, the tip jar, and change for leukemia fund. Sigh. I felt safe when I was there. These petty crimes are more about the cash than intent to harm. They unfortunately leave damages that cause thousands of dollars to fix each time. Seattle, do better for these small businesses! Oanh is the face of the restaurant, and the daughter of the cook. Opening the restaurant is the mom's dream. Oanh is a bubbly and kind server/proprietor. As we dine, we overheard other customers inquiring about their situation. Oanh continues to put on a brave face and that they'll keep the restaurant open for as long as they can. All my friends who live in the area commented that they love this place. So there you have it, give them a try, help them out if you can, find them on gofundme. Parking is easy. They have their own lot. The interior is simple. Staff is minimal during dinner hours as they tend to be busier for lunch. The food came out quickly! The cost is very reasonable, competitive to ID, and much, much lower than the Eastside. The Food: Pho Dac Biet, $12.95 - 5 Stars This is the combo pho with everything. Flavorful broth, lots of protein, fresh meats. No complaints. Mi Dac Biet, $13.95 - 5 Stars This is the egg noodle soup with shrimps, fish balls, and squid. Normally there is pork and ground pork but I asked to skip those. It is huge! I couldn't finish it. The chew of the noodles and the broth are both very good. Goi Cuon Tom, $6.95 - 4.5 Stars Shrimp spring (or fresh) rolls. Well stuffed rolls that filled me up, so I couldn't finish my noodles. Hahaha. Take home dishes (The photos look duller after a long drive): Com Tam Thien Phat, $14.95 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Broken rice with short ribs, shredded pork skin, egg cake, shrimps on a skewer, sunny side up egg An excellent and filling combo dish. It tasted good even after re-heating two days later. I cooked a side of veggies to complement, and this rice dish became two meals. Mi Xao - 2 orders, 1 with beef, 1 with shrimp, $13.95 to $14.95 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Stir fried yakisoba/thin egg noodle with choice of protein and veggies These two noodle dishes weren't as good as the other dishes. The egg noodle is the soft chow mein noodle. I thought it was the type in the noodle soup, which is skinnier and have a better chew. Both dishes didn't have a distinctive flavor. I added seasoning to both when I reheated and re-stir-fried. The portion is excellent though. Side note: Friends suggested their fish sauce wings and lemongrass beef banh mi.

Still a regular haunt for pho. It scratches the itch and is in the rotation. The strip gets targeted. The teriyaki place next door had a shooting and a car backed into doors here to grab some change. Stop in and get some food.

Went on a Friday night and got a seat in the large dining area. Lots of people were coming for take out too. Service was pleasant and helped us to decide on entrees from their large menu. There were over 100 choices to choose from and we went with pho/noodles bowls.

The staff is so incredibly friendly. I enjoy walking in and talking with them. The food is okay. The meat does not taste fresh, maybe it's been frozen for awhile. The banh mi price is unbeatable so we always have to get them. The meat is sometimes dry but the sandwich as a whole is tasty. The pho broth is super delicious though. I didn't even need to add sriracha or hoisin like I usually do. The bun is also very tasty. I would say it's about a 3.5 star place but I can't do a half rank. I'll round up rather than down.
