I ordered the seafood pho, expecting a hearty bowl of fresh seafood, but was left very disappointed. For $14, the portion was extremely underwhelming -- I received only two small shrimp, a couple of mussels and clams, and two pieces of squid. It felt more like an appetizer than a main dish. On top of that, the bean sprouts had an odd chemical smell? Which made the pho that much less enjoyable. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Definitely not worth the money. read more

Hits the spot every time. The place is always nice and clean and very spacious. The service is great. The staff are very gracious and very attentive. The Pho is great! The drinks and appetizers are very tasty as well. Try this spot if you haven't done so. You'll be glad you did! read more

This was not my favorite Pho place. We stopped in for dinner at the end of February and the food was ok, but it was super dirty inside. From the tables to the floor I was uncomfortable the entire time I ate. Some people probably could have brushed it off but that is a HUGE factor in whether or not I will return to an establishment. Service was also pretty slow so I likely won't consider giving this place another try. read more

Best pho! This is one of our families favorites. They have amazing pho, egg rolls and fried rice as well. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything they make! The only thing I wish is that they were on DoorDash :) read more

I thought it was pho' king good ! Hot, fast, delicious. The broth had deep flavor, not bland. Friendly staff. And clean too. Thanks ! read more

Very excellent. The medium sized portion is still a lot and the spring rolls were fresh and delicious! read more

The pho was bomb, flavorful with a good amount of meat. My wife doesn't like cilantro in her soup and when we usually request no cilantro places forget 90% of the time. They actually remembered and didn't put cilantro in it. Good on them. The bahn mi sandwich was bomb. Not dry. Meat was good, just good overall sandwich. Customer service was also good. read more

This is my go-to pho place. The service is always fast and friendly, and the pho is consistent. Their steak is very lean and tasty.

Amazing staff and equally great food! I come here often and the staff's friendliness and food quality and taste have always been consistent regardless of wether I ordered take out or dined in. read more

We really like this place, we do tend to eat there several times when we are in Puyallup if we can depending on our schedule. The food is always good and the service is excellent. read more

The workers were not Vietnamese.. the food here is not your typical Vietnamese food. I was just disappointed about the flavor of the food. It was strong in soy sauce more than any other flavor. I really liked that it only took 5-10 min for my food to arrive and everyone worked seamlessly. Definitely not my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Good pho. Good spring rolls. Reasonable prices! Nice ambience and service was quick and friendly!

I only had the pho noodles and it was delicious. I'm from California and had tired many pho places and their pho is really up there. The service was good as well. read more

I really don't know if it's okay or even if it's a bad thing to write reviews for the restaurants I have worked at because people might think it is biased and I would rather give them a great review to boost up their business but I stay true to what I feel about each restaurant I go to. It would be the same as writing a really awesome review for ... a person's favorite restaurant right? Well I can tell you right off the bat that I don't play favorites with the places I work at. I could have written a review the very first day I tried this place but I wanted to wait a little to see how everything works around here and try different dishes before writing a complete review. I remember the very first dish I tried here at It's Pho U, was their tofu yakisoba. I am fond of yakisoba.. but I usually never end up ordering that dish wherever I go. So, instead of trying their pho first (as a side note: I did not like pho very much as a kid) and so I chose to stay with their yakisoba. It's been a couple months since I have tried their yakisoba but I still remember enough to write what I tasted:) It was good. I never had the moment at a restaurant where I thought, "this is the best yakisoba ever" although I have thought that thought many times with other kinds of foods. The tofu is fried and the yakisoba comes with cabbage, MUSHROOMS, carrots, purple cabbage, and I believe other smaller vegetables! Oh, onions... ew. I can give the yakisoba 4 1/2 stars. I decided, since I work at a pho place- I should eventually try their pho~ I didn't know until a month later... that It's Pho U DOES NOT USE MSG in their pho soup. Since I am not very fond of pho... I can't tell whether this pho or that pho contains MSG. I'd say- it tastes pretty good:) when I came back from California... I went to my old usual places for pho... and for some reason... seems like the taste had changed over the past couple years. I really like their steak pho :) brisket isn't bad actually! Definitely less fat then other pho places that use brisket. I have never been a huge fan.. of vietnamese meatballs... tastes so strange :/ Until I started working here (i get to choose my own meats inside when I eat at work, like buffet style) I stuck with the brisket and steak at first and then tried the chicken for the first time. Here, they use thin slices of white chicken breast (which is kind of "tough" rather than soft like the steak) in my opinion. Now each time I eat pho at work, I add tons of steak, some brisket, and ALWAYS 2 pieces of chicken:) Where else can I go to a place that I can put in whatever I want in my own Pho right?! The pho without being picky about what I get to put in my own, I will give it 5 stars. If you've seen my yelp.. reivews.. I had become a noodle salad bowl freak for the past few weeks~ although I haven't tried it at It's Pho U yet. Until recently. Their chicken is kind of... stiff? Not really soft like other places. The noodles also come kind of heated so it's much warmer than the room temperature/slightly chilled noodle salad bowls I have tried. The fish sauce... oooohh.... I never liked that smell anywhere I tried pho at!~ The fish sauce they make here... is quite black peppery... and I don't like black pepper so much. As for the Char-broiled chicken noodle salad bowl.. I give it 3 stars:/ (A lot of people enjoy the noodle salad bowl here though- so don't be afraid to try it) The two other items I tried here are the BBQ Pork Sandwich + BBQ Chicken Sandwich and the teriyaki chicken. MMMMM! the sandwiches are delicious! It comes with your choice of meat, cucumbers, carrots, jalapenos, and cilantro! The bread is sooo good:) I favor the chicken one over the pork because it had ....way too much fatty attached to the pork. Definitely, 5 stars! Teriyaki chicken... (since I worked at a teriyaki place) it isn't the best teriyaki chicken around but I will admit that the portions they give for the teriyaki dishes are quite a handful! Teriyaki.. I give 4 stars- I usually eat the teriyaki chicken only because it compliments the house salad dressing so well! Spring rolls here are a must! So delicious! It comes with lettuce, ham, shrimp, beansprout and avocado! That's all I have to say for now! read more

Great food. Great price. This is a nice go-to Pho restaurant. And it satisfies any craving for noodles you might have. Speaking of cravings, I always order the same thing here. Large pho with brisket, extra noodles (for the craving), fresh spring rolls, and extra peanut sauce because my wife will literally make me drive back up the hill and get more if I don't. The pho is really everything you'd expect. The vegetables are fresh, and the sauces are all included with your order. The spring rolls are Fantastic, but my wife and I both agree that they could use more in them, and specifically anything but the mass of rice noodle that the role is already packed with. The only other thing I would recommend is one of two options. Either get the management to include larger plastic carriers for their sauces (at the moment, the containers are about the diameter of a large thumb). Or, warn customers that because the containers are so small, they should probably not feel at all like they have some sort of hoarding problem by asking for three or four of every sauce they might want. I'm talking, here, about the plumb, Sriracha and the plethora of other random sauces with which we all love to play chemist when we're mixing our pho at the table. Other than that, the food is great and at a great price. The total for my order was 24 bucks before tip. I can't speak for ambiance in the restaurant, since I always order for pick up at this location-- especially now-- but the restaurant is clean and well-spaced every time I walk in, and there are always plenty of smiles and engaged conversations amongst those patrons who do opt to eat inside. read more

I have ordered here regularly for some time and would have given more stars until recently. The folks that work the front are wonderful. However, the last few times I've ordered to-go (I gave a couple more chances in case there was an off day or two) the portions have been extremely disappointing. What is shown in the picture is NOT a large. If this it what it is going to be from now on, I will stop ordering and would suggest you don't order to-go either. Hoping this will be seen and corrected as I would love to continue to support this local restaurant. read more

It's Pho U - Noodle portion for "large" pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Friendly service and yummy noodle soup. Fast and clean restaurant. First time having Pho in Washington and it was great!! Highly recommend

Good food and clean establishment. The customers service is not too bad, but this food is like other franchise pho. It's not authentic, but it won't give you diarrhea either. read more

This is my favorite place to get pho. I live about 30 min away so it isn't convenient to go but it is worth the trip! Their broth is savory and their chicken isn't all fatty, like some other places. Their spring rolls are delicious and a decent size. I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. read more

Had horrible welcoming service told us to sit on one side because they were cleaning when it wasn't even close to closing time and the young girl had a attitude that worked at the front. I don't recommend eating here if you want your day ruined !!!!! Horrible service! read more

This place to me has the best broth in South Hill but that's about it. I am upset at how their prices are always fluctuating and getting higher every time I place an order. They don't like to update their menu and the prices because they like people coming in to pick up their order and when you pay $13 for 4 egg rolls (frozen ones from Costco) they tell you "oh, those prices are not up to date, those are from long long time ago," like seriously?!? You say that EVERY DAMN TIME I come in to pick up an order and the prices have yet changed again! Then I say, "you said that last time I was here" and they play stupid like they didn't know...so of course I make the suggestion of them updating the menu and prices so people aren't surprised every time they come in to pick up their order and he says "oh, we already tried and they don't update" like GTFOH it's a scam. Of course I could be a pain in the ass and just not pay for it, but that's not my character and it's a waste of my time to come all the way there to go home empty handed. They are stingy with their meatballs so don't expect a lot of meat. Also, did I mention they buy the frozen egg rolls from COSTCO and sell them at $3 a piece? What a rip off I done got GOT again. Shame on me. I will only buy broth from here if I ever decide to come back cause everything else is GARBAGE. read more

It's Pho U - Fried Roll (Each) $2.98 each. FROZEN EGG-ROLL FROM COSTCO...what a joke! - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

We just moved to the area and decided to try this out. The place was busy so we thought it was gonna be good. I was disappointed! I grew up eating pho so I know what a good bowl of pho is like. I ordered pho #7 medium. It was mostly noodles. There were a total of 6 pieces of half sized beef flanks/steak, a few pieces of tendons and tripe. The broth was okay. My fiancé ordered bun with pork, shrimp, and egg roll. The pork and fish sauce were bland and didn't have much flavor. And what about the weird combination of raw broccoli and cauliflower! Definitely not authentic Vietnamese food! read more

Pho so good we ate here 3 days in a row!! Clean, friendly, filling, fast and delicious pho 4U. Great for Pacific Northwest rainy days. Told my fiancé this is what I want to have to eat if I get sick. read more

Yum yum yum! Love their pho and the prices are very fair! Eat here anytime I'm craving hit soup!

Tasted good, that's why I put 2 stars. Left me with food poisoning not even 3 hours after ingesting, and it was all because I was too lazy to cook myself dinner. Irritated read more

Came in around 9pm and they couldn't seat us because their kitchen closed even though their Facebook page says they're open until 10pm.

Nice pho broth, nice staff, spring rolls weren't fresh but it's fine I'm not picky, and gyozas were good. Overall, nice atmosphere music was great. I'll come again :) read more

First, great staff!!! I've been searching for a good Banh Mi Sandwich. Gone a few places and absolutely horrible. This is the first place I've found I will come back to. This is the most realistic and authentic I've had since a extreme Vietnamese Deli in downtown Seattle. Bringing my husband for food soon, he is very picky but I'm so sure he's going to love the pho! Come visit!! read more

I Personally had eaten here before but I really didn't like this time. First off the food tasted like it was getting ruined. Secondly the sever was plain not okay by throwing plates at the table like I was asking them to give it to me for free. And final reason was that after 3 bites of my food they threw the damn bill on the table. I wasn't even finish or in the middle. I felt like I was getting kicked out after buying 120$ of food. read more

We came here on a Tues night and ordered the following: pho bo vien, pho ga and a chicken teriyaki. Food came out pretty quick and portion was good for sharing among our family of four. Service was great, they came by often to check on us and asked us how the food is and if we needed anything. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and craving Viet food. read more

I come in an hour and a half before closing and the hostess/server gets disrespectful when we choose to sit instead of sitting next to a loud family. Tells us we have to sit in the corner so they can start cleaning early. read more

We love this little shop. Definitely the best pho spot in the South Hill area. The restaurant has been clean and well spaced during COVID. The broth has good flavor and isn't greasy. Good sized portion for a decent price. All pho is not created equal! This is where you want to go! read more

You guys, it was my first time here and I couldn't find one thing wrong with this place! My mother-in-law has been going here for years and I can see why. It is family owned and everyone who worked that day were SO nice (great customer service) and loved on my toddler whom they were totally fine with roaming around the open restaurant, haha - considering we went at a slow time during the day, so I thought it was okay too! I ordered a regular #1 Pho Tai with extra white onions on the side. It was really good and LOTS of noodles, which I'm VERY happy about! Who isn't?! I'd say great portions. I ordered a bowl of extra noodle and white rice for my toddler and at every pho restaurant, they'd give me so little of it but here, they actually gave me a bigger portion than we were used to. BUT we were again, totally fine with that! This place is great. I highly recommend. I usually take a picture but I was so hungry I couldn't wait to scarf it all down. read more

Like I said before. If they improved, my review would improve. The service was the issue before. The owners daughter was not the best at making guests feel good about coming here. Needless to say, service is great now that daughter is gone. Yes I said that. The owners daughter was bad for business. But all of that doesn't matter anymore because she is. It here anymore.

It's Pho U - Good food! - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I like it's pho you because they're fast at getting the food out to you. Parking is usually always a challenge because so many people are hogging up all the parking spots for Little Caesars next-door. Also, parking is limited to begin with in front of it's fo you unless you want to walk a long distance. That being said, the food is really really really really really good. The prices are right on the money. The portions are really good. The service is really good. So, to sum up the food experience, let me say, that for a photo you got to go. You will not be disappointed. Because the food is good the service is good the people are good the prices are good the food comes out hot they even bring a fork so that you don't have to waste time with those retarded chopsticks, because it's faster to eat the food with a fork I don't like chopsticks chopsticks are dumb. Why would you want to eat with chopsticks when you can use a fork, you can get splinters with chopsticks plus the wood taste like wood why do you want to add wood flavor to your food it's like eating an IKEA bookshelf I don't like chopsticks I like forks forks make it even faster faster than chopsticks Chopsticks or not for me I like forks forks make it faster and easier and quicker and an easier and quicker and faster and easier just much much much better experience eating with a fork and chopsticks, you might think that I've kind of formed an opinion by now, but in case you haven't picked it up, I don't like chopsticks That being said the food is good very good comes out hot and ready and hum So make the trip to its photo you get your feel on Vietnamese noodles you know they also have spring rolls a potstickers bubble teas nice chairs to sit on and the service is fast I like fast service because when the service is not fast you in the waiting a lot longer. Some places you can wait for an hour before you get your food do you like to wait an hour before you get your food? I don't like to wait one hour before I get my food because when I go to a restaurant, I usually go when I'm ready to eat so the faster they can get the food out the better no one likes to wait one hour, I don't think, for their food. I'm using dictation on my phone so if you notice it's missing a lot of punctuation and proper spelling it's because it's faster to leave yelp reviews using dictation and it is to type them out right,?.!,,, Exclamation exclamation exclamation So it's full you is a good deal and the even bring a fork you don't have to use chopsticks if you don't want to I think forks are good because I don't like Chapstick Chapstick make it take you long take you too long long ticky-tacky ticky-tacky long long ticket ticket ticket to long long ticket Tikki eat with chopsticks no good no good eat with chopsticks no good no good eat with chopsticks no good no good eat with chopsticks no good no good I like I like he forks forks are good use forks to eat full eight full with forks eat full with forks eight full with forks eight full of forks eight full with forks no use chopsticks no use chopsticks chopsticks no good no use chopsticks no good no good no good no good chopsticks no good no use chopsticks no use chopsticks no good no good no good no good no use chopsticks Use forks no chopsticks So what will you remember from reading this review? Don't use chopsticks use forks read more

I tried to remove my review but, wasn't able to. Here's the deal, I was hungry and raced to the restaurant to get my craving taken care of, and they probably just wanted to get home to their families. I have been back since and they have the best Pho in town and their fresh rolls are to die for. The service is always fast and friendly too. Not every less than stellar interaction with a business warrants a negative Yelp review. Honestly, I was just hangry. read more

Went there once, it was okay. Went back again they state they are open till 10. They have an open sign on and doors are unlocked. At 9:50, I walk in and place a pho order after being told that they can only do soup and it can only be to go. I places my order and sat down. I was then told that they couldn't serve me as it was too late. I said, but you are open till 10. He said last order is 9:50. I then asked why the staff took my order when it was after the allowed time. They refunded me yet tried to keep the tip I gave them and I had to ask for it back. Not sure I'll be back ...... read more

Mediocre food and crummy service. I'm really disappointed in this place. The server brought food out to people who came in the way after we ordered. Took forever just to get a glass of water, and they were just apathetic. Not only that, beware if you have a party of 5 because they charge a surcharge?! Must be in the fine print somewhere because it is not obviously posted. Is it something new? Or just for us? Because we were not charged a surcharge like that last time we ate here. The server informed of the surcharge after the card was tapped to pay and then asked for an additional tip! We always tip well, but not double! Barely had any interaction with the server, so why would I give two tips? They did not earn it. The other guy brought out more than half our order and gave us more interaction than our actual server. We chose to eat here because we wanted to enjoy a night with our family and celebrate the day and feel good about where we are paying to eat out. We did not feel good about eating here, the food,the atmosphere, or the price of the food. read more
