Phet's Kitchen Pho Bbq - Weed

Love this family owned restaurant. Very friendly and the food is good too. I like the yellow curry .

Excellent food and wonderful owners who are so welcoming and interesting to talk to! We're so fortunate to have this cuisine in our small town!

Charming, friendly owner. Pains me to write a 3 star review but…Came in, so many good options that I didn’t know what I wanted. Owner walked me through the three that I was thinking about and decided on steamed catfish wrapped in leaves. It was supposed to come with glass noodles, but he asked if I wanted rice. I thought that was a bit odd and asked about the glass noodles… To which he said they were mixed in with the fish. Ok, whatever you recommend. I assumed rice would accompany an entrée. It almost always does.Entrée came; at first glance it looked pretty basic. A plate of plain rice, and wrapped leaves with fish inside, nothing else besides herbs. No vegetables no garnish which is odd for Vietnamese usually there are some fresh components on the plate (herb, sprouts, or veg). The fish WAS excellent but definitely needed just a touch of moisture/flavoring... I requested Nam Prik Pao at first I was told no, then I could make my own, then the kitchen made me one. Took the fish to another level it needed. I was happy.When it came time to pay I did a double take on my bill. My entrée was $12.99, but my bill was $21. Turns out, they charge five dollars for a small side of rice. Five dollars for rice. I felt slightly deceived; and I should’ve known better I should take responsibility for everything I order. I guess I would just expect transparency in a situation where normally rice is included, if it’s not you are aware and it’s never $5. Especially when there were other specials on the menu that included rice.

I visited Weed in August 2022 with a friend while hiking around Mt. Shasta, and I'm so glad we discovered Phet’s restaurant. Phet and her husband Mickey were the most wonderful hosts, taking the time to explain the different dishes and offering fantastic recommendations. We were so impressed with both the food and the hospitality that we returned for a second visit. On that occasion, we were fortunate enough to enjoy some freshly foraged mushrooms from Mt. Shasta, which were absolutely delicious! I will definitely go back again the next time I'm in Weed.

Absolutely fantastic for such a small town! We stopped here on our way from Seattle, and their PHO is even better than most of what we have back home! The owner is really lovely too. Overall, I can't recommend this place highly enough!
