FRESH PHO (Pho & Banh Mi)

I used to like to stop in here and grab dinner after getting a haircut down the way. My most recent experi e did not live up to expectations. I ordered spring rolls and chicken fried rice, this is usually for for 2 of us. This time the portion of rice was probably half what it is usually is and didn't open until I got home. We called the store and the man on the phone wanted us to bring in the rice the next day to show them, then maybe we would get a refund. And said there was nothing to be done over the phone because no one in the store can resolve any customer issues. It was silly to ask us to just not eat our food and bring it in the next day. Would not recommend it's worth the drive to teriyaki delight in Tumwater.

The grilled pork in the vermicelli looked like the gristly fatty offcuts from pork and was dry and tough and not tasty. The sauce seemed watered down today too. Used to be my favorite pho place... Sigh

We decided to give this place a try and I’m glad we did. We were pleasantly surprised to discover Tealand inside. We ordered the braised beef stew, brisket pho, and garlic wings, all of which were delightful. The service was good and the restaurant was impeccably clean. We couldn't resist trying the boba from Tealand! We enjoyed the brown sugar milk tea with black boba and the Wintermelon Black Tea Soy Latte with golden boba, and we absolutely loved it. Overall, it’s a great nicely decorated spot for all kind of dining!

VERY good pho!! Excellent broth, recommend the steak pho. The pork Bahn mi is good, though the meat is a little on the dry side. I’m not usually a fan of boba tea but they have VERY good drinks! My son got the matcha with Lychee, it was excellent. I’ve had the mango smoothie and the mango yakult (probiotic) with lychee jelly added… SO GOOD! 🥰

Very Good steak pho, good enough fried rice. Beautiful atmosphere, nice and clean design… and clean not sticky tables what is rare for pho places )))
