Pho is something nostalgic for me and being from Seattle I had the opportunity to taste some of the best both in restaurants and in the homes of friends growing up. In my travels, a good bowl with a rich broth has been few and far between which is why finding Red Top felt especially serendipitous. My wife and I were in town for a wedding and when I saw the broth in the photos I knew it was worth a try. When we arrived we were pleasantly greeted by Minh. He briefly went over the menu and was transparent about the recent increases in price (by the way even with the increase it was still an amazing value!). My mind was even more at ease when I saw an “Auntie” walk to the kitchen to prepare the order. My wife and I got the house special along with an order of egg rolls. The egg rolls were crispy and the dipping sauce was homemade and reminded me of home. Great start! Not too long after we were greeted with steaming bowls of beefy goodness. The beef was thinly sliced and the broth held the color of what could only be flavor. I like to have my first bites as the chef intended (no condiments yet) and was not disappointed. The broth was flavorful and was genuinely the best bowl of Pho I’ve had aside from home in Seattle. I legitimately had a ‘Ratatouille’ moment- drifting off into a memory from my childhood of enjoying a bowl of Pho with my family next to a donut shop on a rainy Seattle day. The restaurant is clean and cozy with the humility of a family owned restaurant. It was so good that we also ordered vermicelli (a cold noodle dish) to go and it was tasty as well. Highly recommend for the noodle soup craving and the foodie looking for a great cultural home style eat. Thanks Minh and family, we’ll be back again soon!

I got a Vietnamese iced coffee and chicken wings which came with grilled onions and peppers. Both were delicious. Customer service was great and the restaurant is very cozy. Looking forward to trying more of their food.

Really friendly staff. Parking readily available in the lot. The food was hot and reasonably priced esp for the size. There are large tvs to keep me entertained while enjoying pho.

So I asked the receptionist I wanted two Rice pork (Com Suon?) to go but they gave me two rice noodle pork soups instead. I was rushing back to work so i didnt check 😑 It really wasnt what I asked for but its still pretty good so I guess 🤷 Customer service wise tho they are just nodding to everything I said but dont seem to understand what Im saying because the order is totally wrong.

I searched for Pho near me this popped up first with 4.4 stars came here as ai had been craving a nice hot soup. I had the Red Top special. I was not a fan the broth was extremely bland very watered down. I had to add Chili oil, red chili sauce, soy sauce, all the condiments still had no kick. I was kind of disappointed. I did order a 4 piece spring roll those were good. Other thing the service was a bit lacking not once did he come back to the table to ask if anything else was needed yet he sat down & had his meal.

First time trying this place. I was in the area and thought Id give it a try. I walked in not knowing what to expect. A very nice man greeted me as I informed him it was my first time there. He showed me the menu and helped me to chose my meal. I wanted something with noodles,no spice, meat and yummy. After options I picked the crispy noodles with chicken,beef and veggies I.and gravy sauce. I got home and was happy they separated my noodles from the rest of the dish so it wasnt soggy. It was yummy. The service was great. Friendly staff. Nice inside. Next time Ill back with my family.
