    Fried Egg Rolls
    James C.

    Delicious - just like how I remember from my last visit years ago. Of course the only test for a Vietnamese restaurant is their pho so we got the pho special and it was excellent - you can really taste the aromatics with a really nice balance - not a strong star anise flavor which of places make it too strong and overpowering. Then we got the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl- another delicious dish. The nauc mong sauce was just right -again, not too sweet or salty which is also tricky with this sauce. (In general that's what Vietnamese food is all about - getting the right sweetness to off set the salty fish sauce flavor. In any case, this chef knows the secret recipe!) The owner is really sweet and welcoming and this is located in a shopping center so plenty of parking. Come with a hungry tummy, leave with a happy belly! Enjoy!

    I like the decor and the bun mang vit (duck bamboo noodles) are the best in town. It comes with noodles and bamboo and then accompanied duck salad. The ginger fish sauce is so good and I always finish it. The pho is good and the bun Bo hue is my daughter's favorite it actually tastes like beef bones stewed for hours, other places make it with soup base and I can tell. I would recommend.

    Disgusting food... the pho soup was very yellow around the bowl.... a sign that it's not homemade and full of grease. It literally tasted oily too and had barely any flavor. The noodles tasted very starchy and weird. There were so many flies around this place.... The guy serving us was like a robot when talking to us, not much personality. When he finished taking our order and went into the "kitchen" (aka area with a curtain) he was coughing up and hacking up a storm... it was pretty bad. I would not recommend this place.

    Love love love this place. I moved to Olympia recently and am so glad I found Pho 102. The craziest thing though, I don't usually get pho here!! I love their Bun Bo Hue and Bun Mang Vit. The Bun Bo Hue is a spicy beef noodle soup with a lot of lemongrass flavors. Its seriously spicy! They are not afraid to season it. It does miss out on the pork hock but does come with the pork blood. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The other dish I usually get here is the Bun Mang Vit, a bamboo duck noodle soup. It comes with a cabbage salad on the side with some bone in duck. Such a delicious dish when I'm not feeling spicy. Sometimes I like to get their crispy egg noodles when I'm not in that soupy mood. That's rare but its good also. I always get the seafood add tofu for some extra protein!

    The food is so good here that I almost hate to give away my favorite spot for Pho. The spring rolls are simply marvelous. They have shrimp and pork inside as well as basil and noodles. The service here is always friendly and they are able to adapt to food allergies without any fuss. The ambiance is nicer than most Pho locations as this one moves to is present space just two years ago. So, this is the place for Pho is you want to enjoy a really good bowl of various noodle bowls. They also have a great menu for those who want other dishes.

    We have eaten here many times over the years. The food quality has been up and down. Staff are nice. Today we ordered #20 Vermicelli salad with pork and egg roll. And #26 Chicken Fried Rice. They were okay but in the future this definitely will not my first choice.

    Delicious flavorful broth. Ordered 1 spring roll, 1 order egg rolls, 2 orders of beef eye of round/brisket pho. Plenty of food for leftovers, and so delicious. Ended up ordering another pho to go. Service quick and efficient. Took a few minutes to get a water refill, but overall very pleased. Large dining area with plenty of tables. Establishment is clean and tidy.

    The food here was phenomenal. Definitely some of the best Vietnamese food I have had. (My favorite cuisine). We ate in the restaurant, was quiet but nice.

I personally believe myself to be a pad Thai expert :) having eaten probably thousands of pad Thais over the years, always in search of great Thai food and their pad Thai was great!

We had the salad rolls- the pork inside was salty and we thought maybe peanut sauce would come with the salad rolls... nope. It was a clear liquid that we couldn't figure out. Well I looked it up and it's a fish sauce. Not good at all. We ordered the Saigon garlic noodles for our entree. I was expecting some awesome, bold, garlicky Thai flavors, but what we got was seriously spaghetti noodles with parmesan cheese on top.....WHAT Why are we eating Italian food here? This has no scallions, no umami flavor, no sauce. there were dry pieces of chicken on the side that was pretty salty. Another odd thing is that we could smell a really weird scent in the restaurant, kind of like dirty feet!? Maybe dried, dirty mop water on the floor!? Strange because the restaurant is so clean. Wont be back. I'm sorry!

I ordered a Large Beef Pho, that costs almost $20 (includes tax), and requested Meatball, Tendon, and Tripe (per the menu that allows you to select up to 3 cuts of meat). Instead, I was only given 2 cuts: steak and brisket, which was not what I asked for. First and last visit from me since the restaurant can't be bothered to provide correct orders. I rate a pho restaurant on how authentically Vietnamese the food is and how the restaurant appears, being a Viet born from Saigon myself. I still ate the pho because I already paid for it, and it was just average at best. The broth was lukewarm, noodles were too al dente for my preference, and the best part of the pho was probably just the steak. When I visited the restaurant, there were several tables filled... but I noticed there was only maybe one Asian customer.. Typically, if you go to a good Asian restaurant, you'll find customers with similar ethnicity dining in, which hints at the quality and authenticity of the food. Their menu also didn't list a special pho or "pho dac biet" compared to other restaurants I've been to, which usually is a combination of listed ingredients, and my go-to so I can taste a bit of everything. Maybe it's their "Combo w/all cuts" but that doesn't tell me what comes with it. The service was nice enough. I was greeted when I arrived and my order was taken correctly, but somehow made incorrectly. I had high hopes for this place, since it's close to the mall and I like the name of the restaurant. But with my order being made incorrectly and the pho tasting average, I'll pass on coming back here again.

The dining area was spotless, and it's obvious the owners take pride in keeping the restaurant clean. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for me. After reading the Yelp reviews, I expected authentic, flavorful Vietnamese food. Instead, every dish we ordered: two different types of rolls, the kids' beef pho, the bánh mì, and a noodle dish, were overwhelmingly salty. Even adding Sriracha couldn't cut through the saltiness. Everyone has different tastes, but this was far from the balanced flavor profile I expect from a Vietnamese cuisine. I also understand this is a family-run business, but the service was virtually nonexistent. We rarely saw anyone after our food was brought out, and there was little effort to check on customers or provide a welcoming dining experience; even when you're less than 10 feet from our table. Finally, charging $3 for a can of soda is nothing short of highway robbery. At that price, I expected at least a fountain drink with refills, not a single can. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially for a family-owned business, but reviews are meant to reflect honest experiences. Based on the food, service, and pricing, this was an underwhelming visit and, unfortunately, not a restaurant I'll be returning to.
