“Was weirded out by drive thru pho, about only thing open at the time, so I decided to try it after shopping. Not the most friendly greeting, could barely see the menu. Asked a question and just heard mumbling and the word menu. I wanted to be just be back at house so ordered spring rolls and steak pho. Honestly the food was pretty good, service idk about. I’m calling it my fast food place of pho from now on“

“The food here is amazing. The sandwiches are great, same with the pho and the boba tea. Service is always great, and the atmosphere is normal for a small restaurant. I would reccomend this restaurant if you are looking for a good lunch in the Gig Harbor or East Tacoma area.“

“Service: Easy to order online through DoorDash. Was able to pick up order within 30 min of ordering. Little reaction with the staff when picking up the order
Food: ordered pad see ew and was very disappointed as I was craving for pad see ew and decided to try somewhere new. Unfortunately it was bland Some of the noodles were dry. The worst pad see ew I’ve eaten sad to say (Price $14) Spring rolls were good Price $7. Taro bubble tea with tapioca was my favorite price $6.“

“Love the Pho and Soring Rolls. We have gone there twice and definitely will be going back again.“

“I love everything. Nice atmosphere, Great food and Large beer selection. Good place to hangout. Come and check out yourself.“

“What a great spot! Spontaneously was in the area and went here on a whim. And I’m glad we did! The menu doesn’t fully capture everything they have but everything was so yummy. Honestly such comfort food. It’s hard for me to find a pho place with beef broth I like without having to add sauce to it but thjs place really delivered. The pho broth was so tasty and full of flavor. We also got some spring rolls and bun thịt nguội (vermicelli bowls) and the meat was so delicious. Usually those meat pieces can be hit or miss since they carry more fat but this was just perfect. Loved this little pho place and will definitely come back when we’re in the area again.“

“This place is soooo good! More than a couple of vegan options available. I can’t wait to go back!“

“One of our favorite place to get pho. They have nice staff.
They are nice to people who have disability.
Had great time with family.
We left Ho Soon Yi Restaurant, Korean Restaurant due to Rude, hostile and disrespect and harsh tone of restaurant waitress when we enter restaurant. That is when we decided to go to this restaurant. Good atmosphere and good food.
Thank you for your service❤️
We decided we will NEVER support

Kid-friendliness: Understanding of disable person's needs and kindness“

“I have never had a negative experience here. The food is phenomenal, the staff are amazing. The panang curry and garlic wings are an absolute MUST TRY! I've been coming here since they opened. They survived the pandemic and continue to be one of my favorite Thai food spots.“

“Exceptionally good chicken pho broth. Nice that they use full bones and chicken broth for the chicken pho, instead of beef broth in the chicken. Also great that they have the large with extra vegetables for only $13.99. That's Five dollars to eight dollars less than in Olympia, Tacoma or federal way.“

“Amazing service amazing food“

“Had planned to go to another store in the plaza, but after finding out my daughter had never had pho I dragged her in her and got a table. After taking time to explain how pho is usually served and what the different options were, she ordered the tofu and vegetable pho and I got the 'all the meats' pho, as well as fried tofu for an appetizer, Thai iced tea for me and strawberry bubble tea for her.The food here is amazing. I had a wonderful time watching my daughter's face light up as she took her first sip of broth and her first bite of noodles.I will absolutely be coming back here again. I need to get the banh mi and curry for her to try as well.

Vegetarian options: They have several vegetarian options on their menu, from pho to Bahn mi.“

“My friend is a pho connoisseur! I've had it exactly 3 other times at 3 different places and this place hands down, is the best I've had. Delicious! Thank you“

“My family just had an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G dining experience here! The food and service were top-notch! The owner whipped up the best drink I’ve ever had! Plus, the menu has many unique and delicious dishes you won’t find anywhere else. We will surely come back here again to try more dishes!

Don’t miss out on this gem in Tacoma ?“

“I am actually sorry I didn’t take a picture of the food. The Lo Mein special with shrimp, smoked pork, and spiced chicken was spot on. Really decent sized shrimp hot off the grill, generous portions of pork and chicken. So much lo mein in the container I had to go back to my car prior to the show we were seeing. The line to see Iron Maiden had to wait. We put away our feast in the car before heading to the show. No way I can finish it. $13.99“

“Everything was fresh and delicious!“

“This is my finance and I’s favorite place to stop by and grab some yummy pho! Our food is always so fresh and delicious, and after few times of coming in the owner already knows our order by heart! Also the prices here are super cheap compared to many other places ! (PSA) This is definitely not the place for you if you are very sensitive about customer service. :)“

“Friendly Staff, fast service, and delicious!“

“Definitely my go-to takeout spot. The yellow curry is consistently delicious. I’ve never been disappointed by a meal here. The vegetable fried rice is also amazing. Plus the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Can’t recommend them enough“

“we stumbled in today and the ladies were amazing! they made us feel so warm and welcome. this place is great! their chia tea is to die for!“

“I’ll make this easy for you: go. And eat the roasted pork and BBQ pork, then thank me later. Lin was welcoming, kind, and helpful recommending the perfect dish for my first visit. I destroyed everything on the beautiful plate and could’ve sat there and ate it again. Her father, who prepares everything fresh daily, deserves high praise. Pro tip: go early before they sell out. 10/10 would recommend.“

“When you ask someone where is the best pho? It’s all relative and based on preference. Our cousin recommended this place to be his favorite place. Which was not on our radar based on the blogs.

I can see why he likes this place. It’s cozy, mom and pop vibes and just basic. As in, no fancy giant beef bones or ox tail. Just purely, pho. If you want a bowl of pho, you got it.

We ordered the House Special. This only came in size large which was perfect for us to share one bowl. The broth was dark but clean. No msg. Not as beefy but a slight saltiness, probably from the fish sauce. Overall, it was decent and we approve. 3.5 round to 4.“

“Point blank period the food was ? ? ? from Portland Ave to spanaway food was hot. General tso chicken ? ? with teriyaki chicken ? ? big portions just not enough white rice but other then that all around good spot to check out.. 10 fingers and 10 toes ? ? ?...“

“I love this I give this place a second chance because I really liked their chicken teriyaki! But the last before this time I got somebody else's buy mistake! I don't know until I got two the car! But this time I was a very happy customer the food is delicious!“

“Best Pho & Rice Noodle Bowls I’ve had in a long time!“

“Good vibes, promos and music. We’re always greeted by friendly staff.
Fast when taking orders and making drinks but sometimes they do get busy so calling ahead helps!! So many options to choose from and explore next visit 😜 def my fave boba spot!!“

“I recently visited Pho 38 and I must say it was a very pleasant experience. The portions are generous, which is perfect if you're really hungry. While the food wasn't spectacular, it definitely met my expectations for a good pho.

The atmosphere is ok and the service was friendly, which is always a plus. If you're looking for a place to satisfy your hunger with a hearty and tasty dish, Pho 38 is a good choice. I would recommend it for those times when you need something comforting!“

“The portions at Pho Viet-Thai were amazing! I got a small meatball pho and it came with 10 meatballs!“

“We ordered an Uber delivery. My favorite Thai dish is Pad Thai with tofu, this was the best I have ever had. My husband’s meat combo pho was delicious. Definitely a do over!“
