Pho My Chau 2 Restaurant

We did an online order for banh canh (T4) They didn't take long to prepare the food, but I was stuck in traffic for about 50 minutes on the way home. The broth was still warm! One of the best banh canh I ever had! Their fish paste(?) fish ball(?) was so good, it was unique. The broth was rich, good quality & quantity! I will definitely come back here again!

This spot has become one of our regular go-tos for Vietnamese food, especially for Bún Bò Huế and their combination rice dishes. The flavors are still solid—the broth is rich and comforting, and portions are generous, which keeps us coming back. That said, as it’s gotten busier, the overall experience has changed a bit. Service is pretty minimal now—staff usually just drop off the menu without much of a greeting, then come back later to take your order. They’re not rude, but don’t expect much interaction or a particularly welcoming vibe. We’ve also noticed small details slipping a little, like utensils sometimes not feeling thoroughly cleaned. And when tables are wiped down, the cleaner can be sprayed a bit too close to where people are eating, which can be distracting. Even with those things, the food itself remains consistent and satisfying. If you’re mainly there for a good bowl of noodles and don’t mind a more no-frills dining experience, it’s still worth a visit.

Stopped by Pho Chau 2 and unfortunately, the experience didn’t leave a great impression. The food itself was just okay. Nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. What stood out more was the lack of cleanliness throughout the restaurant. I was given my own water jug, but the lid had visible stains, which immediately raised concerns about food safety. The sauce containers had similar issues, though I get that it’s tough for the owner when customers want different amounts. The table felt sticky, there were flies buzzing around, and an unpleasant odor lingered while I tried to enjoy my meal. Parking was also limited due to the small and crowded strip mall it’s located in. Overall, the experience left more to be desired than enjoyed. JY review

We loved the veggie options. Not vegetarian but I prefer tofu a lot of times to change things up. The veggie bun/vermicelli and veggie pho have yummy tofu that are very little or no batter. You can get steamed tofu in pho too. You know how most other places have the pre-cooked, dry, shriveled tofu pieces? This is not that! Thank goodness there is a pho place who can do tofu! The lotus salad and chicken wings (we got fish sauce marinated) are super yummy too!

I saw this place and it's one of the few pho restaurants in the federal way/browns point area that I hadn't tried so we gave it a shot. I'm kind of a pho snob and this place did not let me down. The broth was amazing, the egg rolls were outstanding, the chili oil at the table was great. Atmosphere and service is what you'd expect from any pho restaurant. I really like that they bring a container of water to the table (a lack of service and not getting my water refilled is annoying at most pho restaurants).Nothing fancy but very good food. I'll be back here in the future.
