    Hot & Spicy Pho #2, 3. Well Done Beef Brisket Pho, Crab Wontons, Thai Iced Tea

    The food and Thai tea with boba were absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back!

    "Hot & Spicy" Phò
    Luis F.

    This Hot and Spicy Pho is the most flavorful and delicious I've ever tasted in my life. The quality of the food here is absolutely top notch. Fresh, clean, tasty, great portions, great experience. This place is extremely superior to any of the other Pho places I've tried around the Lakewood-Tacoma area. It was SO GOOD it was hard to believe as I ate it. Needless to say there wasn't a scrap or drop left in my plate at the end. If that superb taste and quality of the food wasn't enough, it could only be topped by the ABSOLUTELY FIRST-CLASS SERVICE the owner himself provides to all customers. He will personally make sure your order is up to the highest standards of Vietnamese cuisine excellence; far far beyond the other Pho locations around, and I'm not afraid to reiterate it. If you want an otherworldly Vietnamese food experience, you MUST try this place. Going by my experience with the Pho I can automatically tell everything else will be a 5 star experience as well. However, I insistently recommend this Hot and Spicy Pho, it was a glorious gastronomical experience and certainly the highlight of my day!

    Worst Bahn Mi sandwich I've ever had. And the signs which are on the drive thru, are your f'ing kidding me? I never leave reviews, but this place sucks. Sandwich barely had any chicken on it, the bread was at least a day old, and the whole thing was cold. Should have listened to the vibe and gone elsewhere.

    If i could I'd choose a rating of 3.5. I only ordered take out because I had to grab my food and go. But I appreciated how quickly they prepared my food! It tasted fresh and filling in a refreshing way. Not heavy. I ordered pork and shrimp vermicelli bowl I ordered papaya boba too, but unfortunately I didn't like it. Tasted very plain and fake. But cheers to the quick service and great main dish!

    The most helpful and funny thing I've seen when it came to any restaurant!!

    The gentleman that works here is extremely nice. He told me how long the wait was going to be and asked if I had an issue waiting. It's a restaurant quality establishment with the fast food convenience of a drive thru and no option to eat in. I would definitely go back!!

    Good place with spacious parking. However: Staff did not speak Vietnamese to me at all when I tried in most effort to talk with her in our native language, this caused us customers who are Vietnamese hard to order the dishes we only know in Vietnamese. I never highly appreciate Vietnamese restaurants who waitresses/waiters communicate none of our language while they are selling Vietnamese dishes. I heard that they may know Vietnamese but their bosses demand them not to speak this language to any customers because this is considered unprofessionalism (the most ridiculous thing in the world I've ever heard in Vietnamese community in US) Anyway, that food was bland also not enough to eat and restroom was broken and dirty took them 3 stars from me. Hope these will change better and next customers will give them more stars for me.

    Wow! I just got back from this place and I am soo impressed! The staff was super friendly, service was fast and the food was soooooo delicious! I'm a vegetarian and saw that there was a good amount of vegetarian options and the broth for the Pho they said is veggie based - hooray! I usually tend to get Pho or the Vermicelli dish so I ordered the Vermicelli. There was no vegetarian option so I asked to have the meat taken out and and the fried roll be vegetarian. They were very nice and accommodating. I've gotten Vermicelli bowls at soo many places but this one was the best on I have ever eaten - something about the abundance and assortment of vegetables and sauces. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Pho and Pho Fried Rice and he was amazed. I think next time I will try the Pho and Fried Rice, too. I gave it 4 stars because the interior can use a makeover. I think presentation is very important and having turn seat covers and super old seats and tables really takes away from the overall feel. But, I'm happy I found my go to for Vietnamese in this area.

    My favorite Thai. I hadn't been in a while but I needed dinner at 8 last Sunday night and it was…read moreone of the only places open downtown. WTF Tacoma? I'd just gotten off the train from eating and drinking my way around Portland and you couldn't welcome me back with a few more choices for a good meal? But since I ended up at Thai Pepper, all was forgiven. Hands down, their pumpkin curry is on my list of all time top ten favorite foods. It's spicy, it's sweet, it's nutty, it's soothing -- it has pumpkin. The curry sauce is so good I poured what I had leftover on my mashed potatoes the next day. Everything about Thai Pepper rocks. The service is great and so is the vibe. The location is a little out of the way though, which may be why I forget to go more often-- even though there's usually good parking and it's right around the corner from the salon that cuts my hair! Love this place. Love it love it love it.

The portion sizes were large, especially for the price point, which made it feel like good value. The restaurant itself is small so never unnecessarily crowded. Service could've been better, we had to request serval times for tableware and water refills. My only issue is that the spice level was underwhelming. I ordered a spice level 4, and even though I know spice is subjective, I'm not someone who can handle super spicy food even I was still wishing for more heat. If you're someone who enjoys bold spice, you may be disappointed. The standout dish of the meal was definitely Red Curry Duck. It was rich, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered.

I booked a reservation here for my dad's birthday dinner. He's been here in the past and loved it so I thought it was a good safe choice, but it fell a little lackluster for him specifically which is a bummer since it was HIS birthday. We started out with some Chicken Satay and Crab Rangoon, both of which were fire. We haven't ordered those here before so can confirm the satay is a new favorite. Can't really mess up the rangoon, but still it was delicious! My dad is a sucker for Panang Curry with Chicken but they will only make it here with salmon for whatever reason? Bummer number one. He went with the Crying Tiger as his back up and when they brought it out, we were all wowed! Presentation is a 10/10 for sure. He ordered it medium rare though and it came out WELL done which, for the price, was a letdown. I ended up doing something I never do and broke free of the shackles that their Pad Thai has on me. The Boat Noodles looked so delicious that I decided to full send and give it a try - as a huge soup girlie the curiosity was just too strong. The broth is very herb forward but also still has a complex, delicious flavor. Spice level was on point. The waitress told me it was very beef forward and boy it was - but it was tasty! TONS of generously sliced beef. Loved the rice noodles too. My sister ordered the Crab Fried Rice which was an insane portion and uniquely plated. Large serving of fried rice covered in a Thai style omelet with a HEAPING pile of crab on top, served with a yummy Thai spicy mayo. She let me try a couple bites and it was pretty superb. It's a little pricy at $40 but it's at least two meals so I guess it's justified. I put in my reservation notes that it was a birthday dinner and they were kind enough to bring out a free slice of cheesecake that was beautifully presented with dry ice and all. Even with a few hiccups in this dinner we will definitely still continue to frequent. Over the 5+ times we've been here this was the first kind of "meh" experience but it was still good!

The restaurant is beautiful and well decorated, and the staff were very friendly. I do wish they had checked on us a bit more since there were a few moments we waited even though the restaurant wasn't busy at this moment. The food was excellent and made perfectly. We ordered the crab rangoons, calamari rings, chicken fried rice, and the pad ka pao, which ended up being our favorite dish we ordered. We will definitely be back!
