I'm not really a big pho person but we were in the area and decided to give this place a try (I typically go for vermicelli noodle bowls anyway). It wasn't super busy which was nice so we decided to dine in. The man who was working the cashier was also the waiter and handling everything on the restaurant floor. He wasn't exactly friendly but also not rude, he was just very abrupt I guess you could say when he took our order and such. The food came out relatively fast and looked good. We shared egg rolls and spring rolls for apps; my husband got the beef noodle pho with extra brisket and I decided to get the wonton noodle soup. We really enjoyed the food, it had good flavor and the portion was perfect. My husband had ordered a lychee boba drink which he was a little disappointed in since it same out more like a slushie. We both made the mistake of adding a bit too much chili oil to our soups so it was harder for us to enjoy it as much as we wanted. I had used their restroom in the back of the restaurant after my meal and was a little disappointed in the upkeep of it. There was no paper towels left for me to dry my hands with and the toilet paper roll had just enough left for me to use. I informed the waiter that it needed to be replenished, unsure how soon or if he bothered to add more supplies in there. Overall, the experience wasn't too bad but wasn't the greatest. I think we wouldn't mind going there one more time to try something new/the same things without the extra spice we accidentally added. read more

beautiful instrument adornments on the wall that detail the rich musical history of Vietnam that my friend briefed to our table. would be nice if there were labels of each of the instruments underneath so that you could do your own knowledge dive on the internet while you wait for food. poor lighting to take photos, but very calm and chill atmosphere with the respectful and peaceful quietness in the restaurant. the waiter was very polite and ensured to read the both the English and Vietnamese names of the dishes. so culturally aware and I am so appreciative of the warnings before serving each dish as they may easily stain clothes, burn self, etc. water refills not always served, but good company helps you to forget about that, I suppose food was reaaaaallllyyy good and worth its price, which is not as high as the other pho places around in Lacey...or Washington in general! approved by my Vietnamese friend, too, which has to mean something...right?! read more

Beautiful decor, friendly service, and delicious food served fast! I had the nam vang noodle soup, which came with imitation crab, quail eggs, shrimp, and fish cakes. The broth was clear and rich in flavor, and I liked the fried onion/shallots that added sweetness. Warning: their chili oil condiment is truly spicy! I loved the heat it added to the soup without adding to the salt. read more

I ordered the beef pho and was really disappointed -- the meat was half-cooked, half-raw, and had a bad smell, like it was leftover. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

The place is clean and is beautifully decorated. The beef pho was disgustingly greasy the condiments for pho were soaked with wanted and were not throughly clean. Going back to the pho it was so greasy you are left with a thin film of fat inside your mouth and no flavor other than the taste of fat and maybe a little of the taste of blood . Avoid coming to this place at all costs we left hungry as we did not have the "guts" to eat all the pho. I would like to add some of the pho broth got on my sweatshirt, it has made a permanent oil stain on my sweatshirt this is from the pho broth seriously pho 111 ? Big no for this one never again ! read more

Give this place some credit! The broth for pho was good. It could've been better if the cinnamon wasn't overpowering. The duck salad with bamboo shoot is always a hit with the ginger fish sauce. The portion is a little smaller, but for $13 it was not bad compared to nearby places. The fried wontons were also good, but definitely strong in shrimp smell. They messed up the pho order, but it was an easy fix. It does suck when the communication is not 100%. Overall, give this place a try. read more

We were quickly seated. Decided to go with the wonton noodle soup which was big. They are nice enough to remove the tails from the shrimp. And the fried rice which had three different meats and plenty of veggies. Both were good. Also had a bbq pork humbow. It was a little on the small size, not as good as I have had. They serve hot tea, if you ask. Not the best food, but not bad. I would return. read more

We love to come here, but as of late the food quality has gone down. My wife ordered the wonton soup and got sick. My daughter and I ordered the stone bowl pho and our veggies were rotten. They also scraped most of the meat off of the ribs and I'm not sure if it's a take out vs dine in practice but the last 2 times we've ordered takeout the food quality just wasn't the same. ​ read more

Dine In, Take out, call order ahead avaialble Restrooms avaialble Card/cash Payments accepted Free Parking available Price () Overall Rating () A family owned and operated business inside Lacey, a couple of blocks aways from Costco. A humble restaurant with few selection of meals. The flavor are very tatseful which you can never go wrong with eh Pho soup. Other options like their Banh Mi, Noddle Bowls, and appetizers are a must try as well. They serve a good option of Bubble Slushies, but their Vietnamese coffee always hits the spot for me. I've been going here a few staff members. Although now it has changed for the better and their business is bringing in more costumer.

Zero stars. Went in here for lunch - looked over the menu, although I knew I was going to order Pho Ga. The menu specifically states the Pho Ga is made with a beef broth. I asked the server about whether it was possible to get the Pho Ga with a chicken broth - he replied yes. So I ordered the Pho Ga with chicken broth. The food came out fairly quickly. I started to add the plate of aromatics/veggies. I was a bit perplexed to find that the bean sprouts were wet and hot - as if they had been pre-blanched. I've never had pre-heated bean sprouts before. I added everything to the soup: the bean sprouts, basil, jalapeños, and lime. I went to taste the soup - and suddenly, a very unpleasant odor began to infiltrate my olfactory senses. I kept sniffing at the soup. I took one small bite of the chicken, and one small bite of the noodles - and could not for the life of me figure out what was causing this extremely unpleasant odor, but my warning senses were kicking in. Danger Will Robinson! Danger! For the first time ever in my Pho eating history (and I've eaten hundreds of bowls of Pho Ga), I refused to eat the bowl of Pho in front of me. I was seriously concerned that whatever was causing this odor had the potential to make me ill. I walked up to the front counter and paid for the bowl and left. I was not about to have an argument with them about paying or not paying. read more

Pho 111 does have nice decor. However, it is a good indication that the food isn't going to be good. I personally believe hole-in-the-wall places are the way to go when it comes to Asian food. My mom and I had dinner here since I came down here as a surprise visit. She was in the mood for Vietnamese food and this place was close by. I should have also mentioned that seeing the place empty was another sign we should have ate elsewhere. But my mom was hungry and I was not in the mood to piss her off. Anyways, I was flipping through the reviews on here and it seems like the pho isn't good here. I decided to order their vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and egg roll (my go-to Vietnamese dish) while my mom ordered the beef version of the dish minus the noodles and a side of egg rolls. I'll start off with my dish. Right away, I was very disappointed with the pork. When I order this dish at other Vietnamese restaurants, the pork is grilled and has a nice dark color to it: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/R7x5NDkXDB_ZAAFrsklwxA?select=QT_sqAwqR3swvJs0Jml1pg Instead of that, I ended up with this: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/uhiMkW6fDuGehEykMTvZFQ?select=_c1Q4VOeE3EW8LOmRZdz0A I hate to say it but this was the blandest vermicelli bowl I've ever had. Even the fish sauce had no taste. I just added some hoisin and sriracha to help salvage the dish. The egg rolls in the dish were probably the highlight of it all. My mom was also disappointed with her food as well. The beef in her vermicelli(less) bowl was tough and bland so my mom followed my strategy of adding hoisin and sriracha. It was weird that her side of egg rolls barely had anything in it. According to the menu, it was supposed to be stuffed with ground pork, taro and other veggies but all we could make out in it was a hint of taro. Oh and don't get me started on the service...or lack of. My mom wanted to order a side of spring rolls since she was disappointed with their egg rolls. However, it seemed like they were hiding the entire time we were dining. We ended up walking to the front to ask to pay our bill. I definitely won't be returning here, especially since good Vietnamese food is easy to find in Seattle. read more

This is an excellent pho place! We ordered for takeout the Large Special Beef soup, Spring Rolls and Sesame Balls for dessert.Everything was extremely fresh! The broth was light, but flavorful and free of grease. There were plenty of meats, including tendon, which I love, but often comes with gristle bits. Not here. Even the dessert balls, which are usually pretty greasy, as they're deep fried, were light (and no grease on my napkin). We actually got a little too much food and will have the leftovers tomorrow, but everything was so fresh that will not be a problem! Although our order was takeout, the service (which was mainly putting it together) was very fast and friendly. read more

Hands down 5 star for best pho place in Olympia and Lacey area. I know Asian food cause I'm Asian and foodie at that. I love all the menu I tried so far (an exception of Pad Thai - you'd go to Thai for that). Best pho and sandwiches (Ban Mi), fried rice and other food also tasty! I'd give 5 star also for nice spacious in door, nice service, and cleanliness is added bonus!! This place has become fav pho place to go now!! read more

I'm going to have to say this is the best pho in Washington state. I've lived in Seattle/Bellevue for years and have tried many popular pho restaurants in those areas and Pho 111 in Lacey is hands down the best. I had a chance to speak with the owner and he explained how much time and detail goes into the making of their broth. No corners cut, fresh ingredients and pho the way it intended to be. I'm baffled this place has 3.5 stars, because it should have 5. read more

So, it's about time to update my review. The rating hasn't changed though. I've been to Pho 111 at least three to four more times since my original review and I'm still not that impressed. Recently I went for a tofu pho and a strawberry bubble tea. The pho was the same as my first review. It wasn't spectacular. The broth was just basic chicken or vegetable broth. There was hardly any seasoning or originality to the pho. Even after adding lots of hoisin and sriracha, it still was just bearable. The bubble tea at $4.25 was also very basic and had too much ice & barely any flavor, so I had to wait for it to melt several times and then just got impatient with it and ended up tossing it. So tonight I decided to go with my Guam/Chamorro friend from my original review. She has since converted to one of the other pho places in Lacey and only goes to Pho 111 for the wonton soup which she continuously tells me is amazing. I opted to go for the pad thai as my last attempts with pho were unsatisfying. We also ordered the little egg rolls. They came five for $3.99 so that was a pretty reasonable deal for an appetizer. One thing that irks me though is the point of an appetizer is so that it is brought prior to your entrée arriving to in a way tide you over until the main course. What irked me is that the rolls came out at the same time as the pad thai. Not a huge deal, but defeats the purpose. In the back of my mind, I was thinking please let this pad thai be great because I really want to give Pho 111 a chance. Sadly, the pad thai was also lacking. Most places that make pad thai will ask you if you want it a little or a lot spicy. This pad thai had zero spicy and almost had zero flavor. Also, it was made with drunken noodles or like pad see ew noodles which I'm not accustomed to for pad thai and the large noodles kind of made it feel like you were making out with worms in your mouth. I really wanted Pho 111 to be my 2nd or 3rd pho go-to place but I have to mark it off my list for a long while. read more

Dang, I knew I should've read Josh B's review before going here. When will I learn... The broth is super-meh. It's missing those spice notes that a lover of pho starts to crave at 10am. You know what I'm talking about... Your co-worker asks if you want pho for lunch and suggests trying a new place. Your mouth immediately starts to water and your nostrils do a little flare with the anticipation of the hot, clove-anise-fennel spices. You won't get that here. While their broth has a rich mouth feel from what I surmise is deliciously melted marrow and cartilage, it's missing that zing a zing zing that makes pho so fab. Couple of other notes: it's nice that they ask you if you want beef or veggie broth with an order of tofu and veggie pho. And they sometimes have fresh fried sesame balls filled with sweet mungbean at the cash register for 75 cents. read more

My daughter and I stopped in here for lunch after the Sushi restaurant next door was closed :(. We were very pleasantly surprised with Pho 111. The interior was decorated nicely and the server was very attentive, police, and efficient. I had a bahn mi sandwich ( my first one so i cant compare to other places) and it was delicious! The bread was so soft but crusty on top - just the way I like it. We had a pork bun which was ok - never had one before and probably wouldnt order it again just cause I didnt really care for the taste or texture. Daughter said her pho was the best she has had anywhere. We both had lunch for 16.00. Reasonable and delicious. We will be back. read more

Usually good, but the pho was not crackin on this day. The service is always great. Ambiance is cool.

Swankiest Pho restaurant I've been to. Delicious Pho, Pad Thai and BBQ pork bun. Friendly service without intrusiveness. Definitely date worthy. We tried really hard to determine if the Pho was as good or perhaps better than other places. We decided it was at least as good as anywhere we've been, with very fresh ingredients, and with a great environment and very reasonable prices. Update: Impeccably clean bathrooms, which also says much for the cleanliness of the kitchen. read more

I went to Pho 111 for the first time last week with my daughter. We have wanted to try this location because it is close to where her grandmother lives and we all love Vietnamese food, particularly Pho. We both ordered small pho ga (chicken pho). The smalls were a bit smaller than I was used to, but they tasted all right. It wasn't the best I have had in the area, but it scratched the itch. The waitress we had was attentive, friendly, and polite. The major issue I have with this restaurant isn't the food (though it could be better) or the service. It is the music. The music that is played here isn't ambient music you can tune out after a while. It is loud pop music. It is very distracting. read more
