    11. Pho King Special
    Dajone Z.

    Excellent service, our food came out within about 10-15 minutes. This had to be the best pho I've had in a very long time. I only wish it came with pre meat without having to order more on the side.

    Really good takeout, they packaged everything in separate containers so nothing got soggy when transporting the food back home. Staff are extremely nice and the restaurant itself is very homely and chill. Would love to eat inside on a solo date some time with a book or something. The meat was ok but overall was pleased with the varieties that come in this #40 house special. Not sure if I'd get it again but excited to try the other dishes!

    Pho King Rice Plate
    Jimmy B.

    My friend recommended their rice plate so I stopped in today to try it for myself. Was not disappointed at all. Their rice plate here is on the same level as a lot of the best places in Seattle. A real gem for Tacoma and anyone living in Tacoma because you don't have to drive all the way to Seattle for a solid rice plate Will come back to try their pho next time

    Pho King Special. Delicious! Way better than it looks, and it looks pretty darn good.

    Amazing, authentic flavors. Well worth a visit. Service was also very quick. Will definitely be returning.

    Searched for the best Vietnamese and decided on the classic menu item Pho! Pho King is located on MLK jr way in Hilltop. Parking is pretty easy to find on the street, and for lunch on Friday there was no wait (decent amount of seating). Service is fast - got the egg rolls (2 per order) and pho tai, which it seems like they're known for. The egg rolls were really good and the pho tai was great. Basically, with pho you need a good broth and this one has it. I had read reviews that said to get the classic pho tai and no one let me astray. I will definitely be back! It's so nice to find really good Vietnamese - I feel like it's been "ok" in my neighborhood. Can't wait to try more!

    We were a party of 8 and in the area on Saturday night. We were looking for a Vietnamese restaurant and this was rated well. It is a casual restaurant yet busy. The price of the menu items were reasonably priced and the Vietnamese food that we ordered were delicious. They offered Vietnamese crepes which is rare for most restaurants. It was delicious. Our grand daughter ordered pad Thai and she didn't think that it was as good as in other Thai restaurants she had it.

    6. Eye Round Steak Pho
    Rachel L.

    Incredible pho. It is not overselling it to say this was a spiritual experience. The service was fast and friendly, the restaurant was immaculately clean. It's safe to say that this is our new go-to pho spot.

    If you're looking for great pho in Tacoma, then head up to Pho King on MLK Way in Hilltop. You might have to be patient looking for street parking due to all the new construction in the area, but the pho is totally worth it. We ordered the brisket pho and the broth was so good. Definitely recommend Pho King for your pho fix!

    A quiet environment with amazing food. The egg rolls were cooked amazingly and tasted perfect. They may quite possibly be the best I've ever had for the type of egg roll. The Vietnamese Bahn Mi was delicious. It had been stuffed full of all the veggies and meat with a yummy sauce. The pho itself has a delicious broth and the small was a very filling bowl. The food was quick and prompt and the service was excellent. Came to fill our drinks and took out order in a prompt fashion. I'd come back!

    We were going to Poquitos on Division but looks like that place fell prey to the Tacoma curse. A…read morelot of places don't hang around too long and that spot in particular has seemed hard to keep in business. But then we looked cross the street on 1st, where there used to be an Anthem, and even though it was already 6pm, this sandwich shop was still open and...there was a BINGO game happening. Whaddya know? So we took a peak in and they were not only serving sandwiches but they also had a cooler full of microbrews and kombuchas, beer on tap, wine, and a whole list of cocktails made from prosecco and other non-hard liquors like Amaro. Truly something for everyone. So we gave our order to the sweet human at the counter and took our seats I'm not kidding, my Amaro sour was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while in Tacoma and so were the pretzel sticks. I want my cocktails cold, tart, and refreshing with a little kick of funk or herbs and I want my pretzels salty. You wouldn't think that's such a high bar to clear but you'd be surprised. Sandwich Starr nailed it. Our Zatan sandwich was tasty but even though the bread felt a little stale. Otherwise the decor is kinda '90s coffee house and they've got bingo! Overall, this is an odd spot but the drinks are really good and it's got heart and it's the heart that makes it Tacoma.

    Food was pretty good, but the sandwiches weren't really that big. The atmosphere is pretty inviting…read more and they have lots of games to play.prices are a little high for the size of the sandwich. I did enjoy the pickle. It seemed home made.

I've had several things on their menu and some of my favorites are the chiptole turkey melt sandwich and artichoke dip. I love how soft the bread is for the sandwiches. Service is usually quick and attentive. I love to visit for good vibes, food and drinks!

    The vibe was cool and all but the experience was kind of unconventional, to me at least…read more Unconventional because as a 1st time customer, I didn't know if I had to sit myself or wait so I felt kinda awkward. No welcome or anything or a "hey just sit anywhere you want". So I just took initiative, grabbed a menu and sat at an empty table. There's a sign that said "order at the bar" but the barkeep would go to other people and ask what they wanted. Okay, that's fine... Trying to follow the rules so I don't single myself out, I went to the bar and was asked for my ID, but why? I wasn't ordering drinks and when other people came, the barkeep didn't ask the other customers for their ID so I felt some type of way but whatever. We proceed to order the Philly and Mac & Cheese. Philly tasted great because it also came with dipping sauce. The only thing lacking was that I felt it wasn't enough. Plus It seemed like I had more bread as opposed to meat. Mac & Cheese was great also, it was soft and creamy plus it had crunchy bits. It had the consistency of valveeta cheese. We asked for the check, we waited, waited some more so I finally went to the bar and closed the tab that I didn't order drinks with, just food. I like the vibe, its like being in a classic tattoo studio with posters on the wall with classical prints from different time periods. Not a big establishment or room inside but just enough to have a modest amount of 30 people. It's a nice joint but not really for me, I'd probably order through Uber eats with this place.

It looked gorgeous when I took a picture of it and I shared with my boyfriend and little brother who enjoyed it too! Some differences that I noticed is that the outdoor seating is just a few tables and chairs outside so you can enjoy your meal outside and they do have dog water bowls out too! The other difference is that dogs are also welcomed inside! I told this when I received my order and I was chatting with the two employees at the counter. I wished I had gotten their names but they were so inviting and kind. That was another difference, I got service as I feel like that is very lacking at the Puyallup location. They were also friendly with their other guests as well! I definitely look forward to coming back with friends, family, boyfriend and fur babies!

The drinks are consistently good and fairly priced for the area. There's ample room to sit and enjoy the views of the theaters. A great place to stop by if you're doing some shopping on Antique Row or about to catch a performance.
