    I come here with Erica when we are hanging out late because we work night shifts. This restaurant closes until 0400, which I appreciate so much because hits different when you are drinking and looking for a warm meal. Servings are filling. Prices are okay. Tastes fine with not much of a stand-out from other places that serve same or similar dishes. Have to order at the cashier located in back of restaurant. Plenty of parking, but a few homeless people walking around the area and looking into your cars. Just store valuables and belongings in your trunk with covered sheets. Very dim lighting at this restaurant that you have to lock in when you read the menu. But, many tables and booths to house a lot of customers and there is not a reason to rush because there is no waiting line. Staff does their best to cater to customers, but may mix up orders or forget to refill water. They tend to scan the room, but you need to call them over to get them to you because they will not initiate with check-ins. Recommend that you come here if you want to stay at a restaurant for a long time at a very late time

    It was late and felt like to have some pho. But most places were closed. So I came to Pho Tai in Lakewood. I had the raw beef and brisket pho and the appetizer spring roll (Vietnamese) and fried gyoza. The bill came to about $28. The spring rolls and gyoza were ok, pretty typical. The pho's stock was ok and the pho was decent. The beef wasn't bad. All in all it was ok. I guess that I just had to pay a bit more for the convenience of having pho at late night.

    T4 meal. Chicken teriyaki with egg roll.

    Food is awful, I got a chicken teriyaki meal. The chicken is dry and couldn't even poke it with a plastic fork. Rice was dry. Egg roll was huge and not cooked all the way. The price online showed $5 cheaper on every dish, once you show up they charge almost $20 a dish. Dingy and poor cleanliness as well as poor customer service. Never going back again.

    Great for a late night pho craving. I really enjoyed the pho itself a lot more than the fried rolls. Although they were decently sized, they were a little too crispy and the sauce was lacking flavor. The service was also very welcoming and accommodating even though the restaurant was packed at 2am.

    Love going out to this place dressed up ready for some Pho

    Honestly, I stop here often for late night boba which is mid at best. Tonight I got food with a friend. It wasn't anything I expected. I asked for chopsticks and employee left so I got my own haha. The food. My friend ordered red curry, that isn't red curry, Idek what it is. I ordered beef broccoli, it came with no flavor or sauce on it. It was basically marinated beef strips and some slightly steamed veggies. Spring rolls were dry and used shredded ice beef lettuce and peanut sauce lacked flavor and was really runny. I probably will stick to my last resort 3 am boba now and never come back. Ps. The Thai tea is really good. Also the place is awkward. It could be nice but half are used as storage.

    Horrible experience. Gauze or bandage found in food. Serious choking hazard in addition to absolutely disgusting. See pictures for additional details. Restaurant took ZERO accountability and blamed doordash. They were so rude it was shocking.

    Stopped in for a bowl of pho this cold morning. Immediately greeted by server and seated. Drink order taken. We ordered pho ga and pho Tai. I got the medium bowl and my partner the large. We also ordered a spring roll to share. They were large! The peanut sauce was excellent. Our bowls were served piping hot, just like we expect. We requested extra toppings and were immediately supplied with another plate. We took half our bowls with us. The food was very good. Service good. Price with tip $32.

    4/27/2021 8:30pm SERVICE: Service sucks when we went there for dinner We have to ask for things we needed, like napkins and extra lil plates They didn't check back with us to refill our water and hot tea We paid for strawberry lemonade that they forgot to bring They were understaffed Only two people working up front They both serve and cashier FOOD? Meh, had better in other PT Ordered Pad Thai did not look or taste like the normal. Look like a stirred fried with some noodles, a little hint of the pad Thai taste. Everything else we ordered were ok SOCIAL DISTANCING: Forget it, they are too busy to monitor who's coming in or going out. Too many people were in there at one time. Everyone just sit yourself wherever you want . They sat a huge party close to our table. However, they do have some table that are closed off but it's still too close to each other Hope this helps‼ Happy yelping‼

    I visit viet kitchen about 1x/week!…read more I usually order SP4. Banh hoi thap cam to-go. This is a vermicelli noodle sheet dish with grilled pork, shrimp, and grilled pork sausage! The grilled pork is my favorite part! The serving size is huge so it could definitely feed 1.5 people. I usually eat about 75% in one sitting and save 25% later. The other dish I order if I'm eating at the restaurant is R9. Fish tamarind sour soup and Caramelized braised fish with rice. This is a staple I had when I was younger and ate out at Vietnamese restaurants. The food here is truly authentic Vietnamese! The prices for some of the dishes are also very reasonable for Tacoma. A banh mi (Vietnamese baguette) only costs $9. In addition, there's free and easy parking in front of the restaurant, happy hours from 2-6 pm Monday through Friday, and catering! Highly recommend this place.

    I completely forgot to take a picture of my food because I was way too hungry!…read more When we first sat down, they completely forgot to bring us menus, so we had to ask for them. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and I really appreciated that they were able to make substitutions since I don't eat pork blood. I also mentioned multiple times that I didn't want cilantro, but when my soup came out, it was covered in cilantro. They took it back and picked most of it out, but there was still quite a bit at the bottom of the soup. I really don't like cilantro, so I tried my best to eat around it. Despite that, the broth was AMAZING. It had the perfect spicy kick and so much flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the crab balls tasted like they were made with real crab. They also gave me a generous amount of meat, which I loved! The fresh coconut was also so good! Since we're in Washington, we probably won't get the freshest coconut like you would somewhere tropical, but it definitely did the job. Overall, the food itself was really good, but I wish they had been more careful about the cilantro since I specifically mentioned it several times.

    Tldr: great place for thai food. I love the quail fried rice. Pho broth is good!…read more Ambiance: kind of loud at night, ngl. I could not hear my family over a 4 person table, coz it doubles as a bar upstairs. But its clean, and decorated well. There's just enough seating for people to come have food. BTW, parking is shared w a market, there was barely any parking when I got there. The parking is also a little narrow, especially when people dont park correctly. Service: very good. They were quick and friendly. No complaints. Food: love the food here. I had the quail fried rice thay came with salad and a side of the pho broth. Broth is flavorful, so Im sure the pho is good. The quail was also marinated nicely, with a tomato based fried rice which was not oily, and just the right amount of flavor. We also ordered two orders of spring rolls, which was more than we thought! One order is the one plate of 2 spring rolls cut in half - so four pieces. Pleasant surprise i suppose, more spring rolls!

    Perfect spot for Vietnamese street food and late-night cravings, but a nightmare of a parking lot…read more My family was visiting from California last month, and naturally we needed to find somewhere to feed our party of 6 after our Seattle tourist trip. We arrived around 9 PM on a Thursday; I picked this restaurant because we were all craving Vietnamese food, and thankfully La Cà Bar is open late enough that we were still able to spend time eating together over a yummy meal. We sat downstairs since we were there primarily for the food and wanted to actually sit down and eat together. It was pretty empty when we arrived aside from one table, and we were able to seat ourselves wherever we wanted. They close at midnight, so arriving around 9 PM still gave us plenty of time to order, eat, and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed. And then we proceeded to order an unreasonable amount of food. Everything we tried was delicious. The spring rolls were definitely superb (especially when dipped in the sauce), and I highly recommend getting a few for the table because apparently my family and I devoured them ASAP while waiting for our main course. I had to get the Bánh Xèo, because I have absolutely no self-control when I see it on a menu. The crepe was savory, filling, and delicious. Since it was cold that night, I also ordered Bún Bò Huế, because apparently being cold means I need to consume an entire bowl of spicy soup. I personally missed the classic cubes of pork blood that I usually expect in Bún Bò Huế, but it was still flavorful and satisfying without them. I also noticed the food here leans more toward Northern Vietnamese-style cuisine, but everything we had was still really tasty. I somehow managed to finish most of my food despite ordering enough to feed a second family. My family enjoyed their meals too. My son got a bánh mì without the garnish and was impressed by how huge and satisfying it was. Teenagers can be difficult to impress, so when the teenager says the bánh mì is huge and good, I listen. Our server was also really nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Now, parking... Oh, sweet Jesus. The parking lot is TIGHT. The surrounding streets aren't particularly spacious either. If you have an SUV like myself, or anything larger, prepare yourself. I was genuinely relieved when I got back into my car and discovered that my vehicle had survived the evening without acquiring any new battle scars. But honestly? Worth it. The best part for me was how nostalgic the food felt. Vietnam is the country where I was born, so getting to sit down with my family and eat Vietnamese street food that reminded me of home was really special. We live far from where I grew up, so finding food that brings back even a little bit of that familiarity means a lot. And after moving away, I really appreciate those little moments where a meal can transport you somewhere for a couple of hours. So yes, 5 stars. Great late-night option, delicious food, friendly service, generous portions, and a menu that scratched the Vietnamese food itch perfectly.
