Found a long strand of hair in my bubble tea. Another reviewer mentioned he found hair in his food. I shudder to think about the sanitation situation behind the counter. While eating, I kept getting whiffs of what smelled like the scent that was lingering in their restrooms. I realized that happened every time they had to clean a table. I think they use the same cleaner that they use for the restrooms to clean the tables. Perhaps it's an all purpose cleaner, but the scent was really off putting. To make matters worse, my husband wanted to try some of my pho (he got a Vietnamese sandwich) so we asked for a bowl on the side. We didn't know until we went to pay that they had charged us extra to split a bowl--on top of the already ridiculously priced bowl of pho. Between the long strand of hair in my drink, the lack of price transparency, and feeling like I was eating in a restroom at times, my lunch that day was not pleasant, to say the least. We won't be returning. read more

Broth tasted like warm water with barely any actual bone broth flavor. Tea came out lukewarm and only after the food was already served. Asked for chili oil and got plain oil with no chili, the staff literally watched me struggling to get any flavor out of it and never bothered helping or replacing it. On top of that, I came in alone as a party of 1 and got seated directly in between two huge loud families when there was an entire quieter side of the restaurant open. Just zero awareness or consideration from staff. Service felt inattentive and rude the whole time. The atmosphere and authenticity were disappointing for a Vietnamese restaurant. Overall felt lazy, low effort, and overpriced for the quality. Would not recommend unless you have absolutely no other options. read more

Not edible at all. I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here. I've been very sick since my 1pm lunch here hours ago. My brother finished his pho which he said was bad, but he was starving. After 3 bites of my pork noodle salad bowl, and a drink of thai tea, I was very nauseous. As soon as the flies started hovering over my table that was it, I put the bowl of fish sauce over top of my meal and let me brother finish. Other cons: Dated interior Young staff gathered around the register Dark and sticky ambiance Warm water served in old red plastic cups which melted the 4 ice cubes within a minute read more

Pho Tai - Grilled Pork Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Pho Tai Puyallup is a place for you to have a quick lunch or casual dinner. It isn't a fancy place for you to dine in, but it's obviously the place for you to cure your hangover with. The young lady that provided me with service on that day was fine. She was fast and efficient in handling all the tables during lunch hours. I ordered fresh spring rolls and large pho bowl (steak, brisket, tendon, and stripe). While the pho broth wasn't as flavorful as the other Pho restaurants I've tried, it was still tasty when I added Hoisin sauce into it. The spring rolls were great, too. read more

Food: the food is really good. I've ordered here a few times already. Anytime I want to get my pho on this is one of the places I go. The portions are big even when you order the small. Service : service is dependent on if it's busy or not. When there's more customers it's a bit slower but that's ok it's busy so it's understandable. Ambiance: I like their jams, they always play good music. It's very casual read more

Pho Tai - Number 15 and number 21 - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

See all

The server was kind and they did the bare minimum. Take orders and bring food. Not checking in on how the food was, no asking if drinks needed refills. Extra meatballs is an absolute rip off. You get three halves of meatballs in a small bowl of brother for 3.59. You can buy a pack of pho meatballs for around that price. 1.5 meatballs for 3.59 is wild. We ordered two number 15's and one number 17 all of which are supposed to include tendon as a meat in the pho. NOT A SINGLE ONE of our bowls had tendon. If they ran out it should have been vocalized. It wasn't. Another rip off. Number 22 was great! Mother said it was a 5/5. The side of soup that she got was okay but it wasn't great. The broth was kind of lacking flavor. Cafe Sudan was a 3/5. Number 15 pho was rated 3/5 by my father. Number 15 was a 3/5 for me, broth was lacking flavor. Number 17 was 5/5 even though it didn't have the tendon per my sister. Number 25 was 2/5 per my partners. Bland. First bowl of sauce came with a hair in it. New bowl was fine (I personally really liked the sauce though!). Bathroom floors were sticky. Honestly the place is just cramped but the food isn't bad. They just could make some changes to make experiences better and food quality better. Note for restaurant: Please tell customers if you don't have something because it feels very dishonest when you just don't provide the thing and hope customers don't notice. Just from that I wouldn't come back. read more

Broth for my chicken pho was good. But my chicken was completely raw and not edible $20 just to eat broth.

I'm super disappointed in this last visit I had with Pho Tai. Pho Tai is basically the fast food of pho restaurants and I shouldn't have expected much, but it was Sunday night with two tables that had already been served. I came in with my boyfriend and after a few minutes, we got seated and then a server brought us drinks and asked to take our order. I got the combination order of a large #17 pho and spring roll with an iced milk coffee with light ice. I was expecting to get my drink but it never came until I went to go pay which was weird? They never asked if I wanted my drink after my food? It seemed really odd and I just figured they forgot. My food came out not too long but the pho was super sad as it had nothing inside. The noodles were short and clumped together. Broth was super salty. My spring roll looked great and tastes great until like three bites in, I noticed a small black hair. The server never came back to check on me and we had to ask the busser to let our server know. The busser told us that he could either have them remake it or take it off my tab, I opted for the latter as I had already lost my appetite. Overall, I won't be returning to this Pho Tai or others as I am moving back to Federal Way and there are plenty of late night restaurants with quality food and service. read more

Deliciousness! Go ahead and try the pork bbq spring rolls and multiples because you won't want to share. I should apologize for not taking a picture but the brisket and meatballs pho was on point as well. Great service and attention to detail. neat decoration with warm lighting. read more

Pho Tai - Outside sign - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I love Pho Tai!! It's my favorite place to get Pho. they have really good gyoza and spring rolls too! I would definitely give it a try!

I love this place. I always get the seafood pho. The portion sizes are large and the price is pretty low. The food itself is delicious and I love the variety of seafood they put, clams, mussels, squid, shrimp, and crab. The servers are super friendly. The atmosphere is nice as well, they play popular music and while the building is small it doesn't feel crowded. read more

Pho Tai - This is the seafood pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Ordered to go.. they made it 20 min before it was supposed to be picked up, so... nice and cold. No sauces for the teriyaki, and the salad was just lettuce.... How do you not include condiments in a to go order for $60! read more

Pho Tai - Vietnamese-style Hawaiian Fried Rice! - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

I have been coming here for a long time. Went in with my family on Sunday. We sat for over 25 minutes and never got waited on. No water, no hi how are you?, no interaction at all. We got up and left without ordering. Sad to say we will not be coming back. read more

Food was okay! Good selection. Service needs a little bit of a boost. When they get busy they can can be a little indifferent. A little pricey. read more

Really good Banh Mi sandwiches and fresh spring rolls with killer peanut sauce yum! The service was nice too.

We regularly eat Pho. This was our first visit here and we were unfortunately not satisfied with the quality and taste.

I got the Brisket and Steak Pho, plus Pot Stickers and Egg Rolls. It was really good, very average Pho shop. The servers were really friendly and brought us water immediately and checked on us a few times, not too many. It wasn't too loud inside other than my baby who was being kind of a brat, but they assured me she was fine making some noise I'd definitely eat here again when I'm in the area. read more

Amazing food and staff as always they never disappoint i always eat there but due to not feeling well I got take My only complaint was the house and Sriracha came in small packets so there was not enough to give me the desired taste im used to read more

Quick Summary: Food was delicious with large portions, ambiance was busy yet relatively chill and quiet, service was friendly but slow. To expand a bit... I ordered a spring roll as an appetizer and the chicken and tofu plate. My wife ordered a noodle salad bowl with chicken and a fried egg roll. After ordering, it was about 15 minutes before our orders came out to the table but honestly that wasn't too bad considering how busy it was. After receiving our meals, we never saw our server again. No water refills or checking-in, but again... it was pretty busy. Overall I would definitely return based on the food and environment. I've grown accustomed to longer wait times with restaurants all over struggling to hire. So long as service is friendly, I'm a happy camper. read more

The food had no flavor and wasn't even hot. For the quality of food it was overpriced. Service wasn't the best either they didn't come check if we needed anything else or stuff like that. As far as the atmosphere goes there was really not that many people. I wasn't really excited much to be honest all pho tai are the same. I would not come here again. Sorry. read more

Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Didn't know it was a franchise. Think the one in tacoma is slightly better. Food was practically the same. Got the pho tai small with extra meat. I liked that the food came out quickly. Staff is quick and got my order within seconds of sitting down. The environment is what changed my experience. Quite dark and just made me feel a little down. Not to say it wouldn't be different on a another day, just the physical location of it I guess. Anyways, I came for pho and got it. Will come again. read more

Pho Tai - Pho Tai, Chin Nac (Steak & Brisket) - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Omg! Warning, do not come here! Broth is no where near pho quality. It's more of a chicken broth from a box. You can't taste anything. Also, the ice coffee was definitely not the traditional Vietnamese ice coffee. It's a americano with condensed milk at best. And that's the food, the service....non existent. I would give 0 stars if possible. read more

Pho Tai - Pho Tai (Steak) - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Steer clear if you are a vegan/vegetarian.they literally do not have any veggie pho options. We ended up having the tofu banhmi and it wasn't great...My husband and I never waste food and we decided mid meal to go to another place Also not too hygienic, the menu has sauce stains and our table was kinda wet and not super clean when we sat down Won't be returning read more

My sister and I were feeling extremely under the weather so we decided to order some pho. We've been to this location numerous times before but something about this time was different. We've done take out and dine in orders with no issues with our food until now. I ordered two vegetarian broth phos and the broth didn't taste right or like how it used to taste at least. It had a weird taste to it which made me honestly not want to continue eating it or even have what was left for leftovers. I tried to help the broths weird taste by adding all the fixings, siracha and hoisin sauce, but still didn't do that trick. I was pretty disappointed. Also I know I shouldn't complain because of how everything is priced now but I couldn't believe I paid like $4.50 for a 8 oz to go fountain soda and they only had one size. read more

The food was delicious and hot! Pho broth was pretty sweet which is preferable to me. The staff was quick and friendly and the ambiance was very casual. Only note is that the spring rolls are not vegetarian and have some sort of meat and shrimp in them :) read more

My friends and I stopped by for some food on our way back to Seattle after hiking at Mt Rainier National Park. The service was good and food was okay since we were hungry. Prices were a bit on the higher side for me as a visitor ($13-$15 per dish) but I guess that's normal for this area. I got the vermicelli noodle/bun dish with chicken and egg roll. The egg roll was disappointing...loosely rolled and lacking flavor. The sauce was a little on the watery side. They could also use more carrots and herbs to brighten the dish. My friends said their pho was just okay as well. Not the best Vietnamese food I've ever had, but decent if you're in the area and looking for food. read more

Pho soup was cold. The pork chop was cold and flavorings were C grade. My friend turn to treat me and this was the only Pho place was open and nearby at the time. read more

Pho Tai - a sub sandwich on a piece of paper - Vietnamese Near Me - Puyallup, Washington

Taste like sock water for pho, noodles were limp and shrimp were dirty. Idk if new owners or what happened, but it is nothing like it used to be. Quality is so bad for how much $$ they charge now. Super disappointed service was nice tho read more

Big and delicious spring rolls. Stuffed and delicious bahn mi. Highly recommend. I have ordered over the phone and pick up within 15 min.

Went in for lunch with a friend of mine and it wasnt too bad. We were able to find a table available on a Saturday. I ordered the mushroom pho while my friend ordered the seafood pho. The broth for both tasted okay. It tasted a bit watered down. Mushrooms in the mushroom pho were buttons and it didnt taste bad. It only included noodles and mushrooms. Seafood pho had a ton of clams and shrimp. Seafood tasted salty, adding a bit of flavor to the broth. We both ordered mediums and they were enough for both of us. We were able to eat most of its contents. Overall, we would go here again for a quick meal or if we cant decide what to eat and pho tai pops up on the way. read more

I was happy with the my first experience at Pho Tai and, to be honest, I was a bit hesitant to try this place out after reading reviews. I ordered two large orders of the number 17 and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how much meat they included! What drew me to Pho Tai was that they actually include tripe in their pho as it seems like it's a bit harder to find places that offer it in the area. And not just that, but how flavorful the broth was compared to other places I've tried. Noodles were cooked perfectly. I had a neutral experience in terms of service with the individual who helped me, which I was fine with as I placed a take out order at the restaurant. I'll definitely be back since both my husband and I really enjoyed our pho. read more

Service was good. Food was good. Portion sizes were expected. The pho itself was good. I have no complaints. HOWEVER, we asked for meatball add-on for the pho with brisket and steak, and we got *literally* two meatballs. Huge let down. The banh mi was lacking an extra depth of flavor. The meat in the banh mi was seasoned, but the vegetables lacked flavor, you know the sweet/salty/sour taste you're supposed to get? That was missing with the "pickled" vegetables. The banh mi bread was coasted with straight up mayo. They need to change that sauce, because I've had better banh mi BECAUSE of a good sauce/spread. I also tried their rice plates. Avoid it if you can. My rice was overcooked/dry. It was almost hard to eat. The meat wasn't seasoned well; the teriyaki was missing extra flavor. It was just a bland dish. I could hardly eat it. Luckily, the pho made up for it. It's not a bad place, but it's not anything different from other typical pho restaurants. It didn't "wow" me. This is the only pho place in Puyallup since their competitor is temporarily closed for relocation, so I may come back here again for a pho fix, or I may opt to drive elsewhere if I wanted. read more

Good is always consistent and fast. Restaurants are always a bit cluttered with supplies, but best pho around

We came here for a refreshing dinner after hiking at Mt Rainier. Pho was just ok. My take on pho is that the magic is in the broth, and the broth here was lacking that flavor punch. It tasted very light and diluted. That said, if you like your broth to be super light, then you'll probably like this. Portion size was pretty good, lots of noodles and vegetables! Overall service was nice and place is open late. read more
