As I write this in the parking lot, I see that there's a McD's across the street, and realize I've made the right choice : Bloom Thai is faster, fresher, and more honestly friendly.

Service 4.5 but don't know why they have people order at counter when they bring the food to you and clear off tables anyways? How is this self serve? I think it'd be better dining experience if they just took order at table and serve food and real plates. Am not sure why this place is so highly rated outside of friendly staff.

The deep-fried fish, Szechuan style, was my favorite out of all the dishes. Fried to perfection with the hint of spice on the batter. Their honey walnut prawns were exciting to eat as they were large and covered in tasty sauce. Their twice cooked pork belly literally melts in your mouth- yum. We also had many of their other dishes like noodles, fried rice, and veggie platters, but I had to list a few of my favorites. The restrooms need an upgrade, but other than that, food is delicious and I will be returning for more.

Always a win here. I love the layout, it feels fancy but still relaxed enough for a casual dinner…read more The staff is great and never makes you feel rushed. Food-wise, the Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles (I don't have a picture because every time I get it, I devour it immediately!) are the BEST, but the Pork Skewer Vermicelli Salad was a pleasant, super-fresh surprise. Everything from the portions to the cleanliness of the place (bathrooms included!) is spot-on. Can't wait to come back! Side note: I brought my mom here on mother's day and they offered a free flower and dessert to the moms. I thought that was very special and sweet!

The food was great, I'd rate my salad bowl a solid 4.5. The yakisoba delivered a 5 star in my baby boos book. The spring rolls were about a 3 from both of us. Service! Friendly, they let us choose the seating, but unfortunately forgot our spring rolls and needed a reminder before we took off. Very quick though! Ambiance, not much to look at really except for the limited view of the little square outside or the brick walls. Had fun though! And again, food was great!

Harbor City is amazing. Not only in the outstanding & friendly service, but the food (dim sum) is…read more10/10 in my personal opinion. I'm one picky 70yr. old who knows fresh dim sum from frozen. Since moving to Tacoma area from King County, I missed my dim sum from international district aka Chinatown. Harbor city brought back the flavor & I'm so thankful. Most of the places that served some dim sum out this way, you can tell were frozen and low quality. As for the Ambiance... well I have to admit, they do deserve a much better place. When looking on the outside, it's hard to imagine how good their food is. Yet again, I always told my children and grandchildren ... it's always the small & hole in the wall places that can be the best to eat at.

Came for dinner last night and it was everything I expected. When they first opened this location,…read moreI had tried it and there were a couple of environmental things (it was super cold inside) that I didn't like, so I waited to do this review to fix some of the issues. The food is still top notch and the service is speedy. But the restaurant is now very warm. The floors are really slippery so be careful, but it's a nice fast paced Chinese restaurant you can get dim sum instead of the normal yum cha times of seattle Chinatown. If you want really good Chinese food at breakneck speeds, want to feel like you're at your Chinese ma's house as she's yelling at the kids in the background, this is it! We even had a loud Chinese conversation that I had to tell my husband "shes not angry, just very busy and trying to get orders out". The only annoying thing is their uber eats notification is consistently on fire. Dinged enough to notice it through the entire meal.

A little bit light on the meats, but just add more meat. Very hole in the wall vibes. Gives you that authentic Vietnamese feel. I would come back to eat pho! Soup was delicious! Now I would be interested to know if the other dishes are just as good.

It has been YEARS since the last time I stepped foot inside of this establishment. Once we arrived, we were welcome to sit at any empty table of our choosing. The menu is massive, borderline overwhelming if you don't know what you want. I frequent Vietnamese restaurants regularly and decided to go for a rice entree this time around. I ordered the Cơm Gà Rôti (roasted half chicken with steamed rice), which was also served with a side of lettuce, pickled carrots and cucumbers. The food was good, but my chicken was cooked a little too long in some parts and appeared to be more burnt than normal. The dish was served with plenty of rice. Overall, a good dining experience and would recommend you stop by!

Service was quick and attentive, they brought out our bowls and drinks in minutes. The hot pots each came with their own burner under the pot, so mind those metal handles!! Soup was incredibly flavorful and TBH I think I prefer these to the ones at Boiling Point. It's always an adventure to fish for items in the soup: notable finds included extra glass noodles, fish ball, tofu, and a block of taro. Sooooo good on a chilly day! Hot pot came with a chia-infused oolong tea, which was actually very tasty and boba-esque (but without the boba balls), I think this was promoted in an instagram post. I will be back.

Talk about attention to detail! The drinks (Imperial Coconut and First Bloom) were gorgeous and tasty. As for the food, the Salt & Pepper Tofu, Calamari, and Crispy Garlic Chicken were all hits. The portions are huge, so you definitely get your money's worth. The highlight was Thien offering a complimentary birthday treat at the end of the meal. It really made my day! The vibe is clean and aesthetically pleasing, and the service is top-notch. Yes, there's a 4% card surcharge, but for an experience this good, I didn't mind at all. We'll definitely be back!

I visited for the first time on Friday around 17:00, and the food was absolutely delicious!…read moreThe parking lot was already starting to get busy when I arrived, with all the spots taken up at Ho Soon Yi. There were only a few tables inside but almost half of them were already occupied with several customers. I was quickly seated for a table of 1. The tables are fairly close together and the noise level is low enough to hear conversations around me. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I did hear other customers comment at their tables that the food here is good. There's a few ajummas working here, so service was straightforward. I ordered the kalbi dolsot bibimbap, which seemed inexpensive and came with some complementary sides, and they were nice enough to cut my kalbi into bite-sized pieces for me. I would say, if I can finish my food in one sitting at a restaurant, I am either really hungry, satisfied, or both. In this case, it was both! This is my first dolsot bibimbap after moving to Washington recently, and I am glad it did not disappoint.

We ordered the galbi, bulgogi, galbi-tang, seafood tofu soup, kimchi fried rice, and beef fried rice. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and they included a variety of fresh kimchi on the side. Even with multiple dishes, our order was prepared within minutes. Such a cute mom-and-pop restaurant with great food, fair prices, and excellent customer service. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!
