I ordered takeout here on a Sunday afternoon through Doordash Pickup for my first visit. I called…read moretwice over the phone, hoping to place an order through this method, but no one answered; went straight to voicemail both times. Just a bit frustrating since I know Doordash charges more.. I also didn't want to place the order at the restaurant because I was so hungry and wanted to grab & go :( I was really craving pho and I liked their menu, so I took the chance and ordered both a regular-sized Meatball Pho (pho bo vien) and their Pho with Steak/Flank/Tendon/Fatty, which seems to be their "pho dac viet." On their menu, the price is listed as $15.99 for a Regular size and $17.99 for a Large. I paid $17.99 for each through Doordash for the regular-size, excluding the almost $4 of tax and bag fee.. Thankfully, I live nearby, so it was just a few minutes to drive over. It's in the same busy parking lot as Safeway and McDonald's but it's more on the opposite side, so I never realized it was in the same lot. Plenty of parking, at least. When I entered, the restaurant had plenty of seating but only a few tables occupied, which made me wonder why they didn't answer their phone.. I know I'm being petty over a few dollars but I just want to get bang for my buck. The inside looked nice and cozy, and I think would be a lovely place to enjoy a bowl of pho on an outcast/rainy day otherwise (if I didn't just want to go straight home lol). I was instantly greeted by a friendly employee that asked if I had a takeout order and escorted me over to a small table, where it was already neatly bagged and ready for me to retrieve. Now, the FOOD. I will say, it was absolutely delicious! Everything was organized and packaged well, so nothing spilled on the ride home. The pho was a good temperature: hot enough to cook the steak, but not overpowering enough to burn your mouth. The regular size still provides ample portions, so both my kiddo and I ate half for lunch, and our other half for dinner. I specifically asked for no beans sprouts with my order, so I do like that they provided enough for my son while still following my instructions. I am not too picky about my pho broth, but I can at least say, the broth here was not watered down. If anything, it might pack too much flavor and might deter some customers, but for me, it was savory and divine! I still had to add my obligatory hoisin and Sriracha sauces, so it might not be the healthiest, but i don't care, I slurped up everything! I usually post images of my food on social media [stories], and actually had a friend ask what the soup was because it looks really good. Some people have a finer palette for "good" Pho but for me, pho is pho as long as it is flavorful and there's a fair amount of MEAT! They offer moderate portions here so I can't complain, and everything was satisfying enough when eaten with the broth. 4 stars because they didn't answer the phone but my son and I devoured everything, so we can at least advocate that the pho is worth it! I'd recommend trying out this restaurant at least, especially if you consider yourself a pho connoisseur (or even a newbie to pho!).

Going straight to the point.. The Pho here is legit! You can tell it was made with beef bones. I'm…read morea bit of a snob when it comes to pho and I can say that what I had was really good. I'm from California too.. The only negative thing I have about what I ate was that my bowl wasn't hot. It was warm, not hot where I'd need to cool it off. It's not a big deal for me but for some people.. they'd want it hot hot. Aside from that.. pho was great. I'd come back again if I make my way here. Ohh one more thing.. the pho isn't sweet! There were a few places that would put so much rock sugar in their broth that it ruins everything for me. So, if you like it sweet.. go find another restaurant. This restaurant made it right! (I got the pho special aka Pho Dac Biet)

The place is clean, spacious and well layout. The menu is nice and plenty of Asian dishes, from Thai to Singapore to Vietnam to Chinese and so forth. Service is nice and attentive. Dishes came out quite fast. I am abit bias here since I'm Asian and I live in SoCal where all the Asian lives. So with that say, my dish is Vnese and nothing came close (yes I kept in mind of the fusion part) from taste to presentation l. Given that this is Yelm, therefore not much of expectation but they do have most of the dish's elements. And this apply to all dishes. It's not bad at all, my friend likes it a lot and this is her favorite place with her favorite dish of Singapore noodles...which I don't recalled that the noodle is that wet. The favor is there but it's wet, too wet in my POV. The mochi is nice and soft and chewy like and flavorful. Overall not bad, very water-fusion for my taste. Good service and nice place for sure.

Trying out another restaurant in our town because we always hear good things about it…read more We got the egg rolls to start, Mongolian beef with a side of rice and chicken chow mein. The food honestly was a bit underwhelming. The chow mein noodles looked and almost tasted like spaghetti, they weren't the normal type of chow mein noodles. The Mongolian beef had good flavor but there wasn't enough beef to vegetable ratio. For the cost of the food, we were hoping for it to be a bit better. The service was great and attentive to our needs. The overall ambiance was okay, it seems like they don't use half the restaurant for storage so the space is a tad small. The best part of the meal was the donuts for the donut shop they run out of the same building. We tried cookies and cream, Nutella and birthday cake mochi donuts. We'd definitely be back for donuts but we're not sure about the food.

I mean, there are cheaper places in the area, but the selection and and presentation are worth it. Service: No complaints, came right away and didn't bother me much. Perfect! Overall: Making a review so I can remember this place when I come back to Tacoma. New favorite Pho place. Please keep it up!

Service was quick and attentive, they brought out our bowls and drinks in minutes. The hot pots each came with their own burner under the pot, so mind those metal handles!! Soup was incredibly flavorful and TBH I think I prefer these to the ones at Boiling Point. It's always an adventure to fish for items in the soup: notable finds included extra glass noodles, fish ball, tofu, and a block of taro. Sooooo good on a chilly day! Hot pot came with a chia-infused oolong tea, which was actually very tasty and boba-esque (but without the boba balls), I think this was promoted in an instagram post. I will be back.

Friendly, they let us choose the seating, but unfortunately forgot our spring rolls and needed a reminder before we took off. Very quick though!

We've driven by so many times and finally stopped in for lunch -- safe to say we'll be back. We ordered two house specials (two meats + fried egg).

But i really liked the balance of sweetness with the spice of the jalapeños. The bread was the standout for me. A lot of banh mi places have bread that's too hard, but theirs was perfectly crisp and easy to bite into. Can't wait to try more of the menu

Disappointing Experience - Overhyped and Poorly Executed I…read morecame here based on an Instagram influencer's recommendation, who claimed they would drive from Seattle to Puyallup just for this pho. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The food was subpar. The spring roll was highly disappointing, and the accompanying sauce tasted terrible. Furthermore, the menu states an order comes with two spring rolls, but they simply cut one single roll in half and served it as two. The pho itself was completely bland, and the noodles were served al dente--which is incorrect for traditional pho. To make matters worse, the service was awful. When I tried to confirm my order, our server openly rolled his eyes at me. He clearly did not want to be there. I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone.
