Decided to go here on my lunch break. The service was fast. The pho was good and a good portion size. I got a shrimp spring roll. That was good but the peanut sauce tasted store-bought… wasn’t bad though my avocado bubble tea was not great. I think the avocados may have been bad because it was bitter and not sweet at all. The only downside was homeless people kept opening the door and coming in and out of the restaurant.

Ordered their brisket and steak pho to go because I enjoyed it when I sat at the restaurant. However I was super disappointed when I got home because they only gave me three sad peices of brisket. Super dissapointed and I will be opening the to go box next time in the restaurant to make sure I'm actually getting a real serving. This is sad and very disappointing.

We just happened to be driving through town and were really hungry and wanted pho. This was the closest to us at the time, and am I so glad it was! This is probably the best pho ive ever had. The broth was so flavorful, the restaurant was clean, and the staff friendly. The food came out quickly and was very hot. I hope I drive through again just so I can stop by to eat!

I’ve been coming here since I was in middle school which was 2014. This used to be my favorite place to get tripe pho and their other menu items like their grilled plates. Last time I was here was a year ago and coming back today to get some food after a trip since I’m in the area. The food has changed drastically, in a bad way. There no love in this food, it’s actually sad. The portions are pathetic for the prices they’re charging. Me and my brother looked at each other and looked at our food. There was barely any meat and the pieces of tripe were so thin and shabby I almost thought it didn’t have any. Like what happened? This used to be the place to get pho in Tacoma. Service was fine, the employees are nice, the food isn’t. Huge bummer for me and my family but ever coming back here

When you ask someone where is the best pho? It’s all relative and based on preference. Our cousin recommended this place to be his favorite place. Which was not on our radar based on the blogs. I can see why he likes this place. It’s cozy, mom and pop vibes and just basic. As in, no fancy giant beef bones or ox tail. Just purely, pho. If you want a bowl of pho, you got it. We ordered the House Special. This only came in size large which was perfect for us to share one bowl. The broth was dark but clean. No msg. Not as beefy but a slight saltiness, probably from the fish sauce. Overall, it was decent and we approve. 3.5 round to 4.
