“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.“

“This review is based off of the one time I've gone. I went after work with my colleagues, they stayed and had their food, I got mine to go. All of them enjoyed their dishes. When I got home and ate my food, I was very surprised.
Because of where I live, I eat a lot of Vietnamese food. This place was definitely different. First of all, the staff were very nice. Secondly, the noodle salad was unlike others I've had. The highest praise goes to the shrimp. I've never had a shrimp roll as good as this was. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I will definitely come back to try more dishes. I understand the hype now.“

“Very fresh! Excellent tofu Bahn Mi.“

“This place is SO good! My husband and I were looking for pho but we were looking for something fast. The drive through was great for that!

For the restaurant being only run by one person, I’m very impressed. The food was absolutely delicious and still hot when we got home.

One of the best pho broths I’ve had.

Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Delicious tofu sandwiches and tofu spring rolls! We are so happy we stumbled upon it.“

“My favorite pho place closed down a few years ago I went to 23 different pho places in the area then I came here this is now my favorite it is the only place I go for Pho! And I am very picky about my food! If I go somewhere and the food is okay I don't go back! Here is delicious every time!🤤“

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

“So, this is the best pho in town! The broth is so rich and delicious. The chicken is tender and all white meat. I also love the fresh tofu rolls with their peanut sauce! It’s not fancy inside, but it’s comfortable and the service is quick and they are friendly. If you want feel good food this place is a must!“

“Everything was fresh and delicious!“

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

“Bahn Mi was very good, lots of meat and veggies & not dry like other places. The iced coffee was also good, and the prices are more than fair. The lady at the counter was lovely, my food was ready very fast. Also the bathroom was super clean.“

“Some really good broth. Meats were plentiful and delicious.
I had the number 10 and added meatballs. Coworker had the pho burrito with a side of broth and we were both very pleased.
I'm not from this area but will definitely be back here next time I'm in town.“

“I have loved their food for years but they went above and beyond today. I ordered pho with steak and chicken chow mien for delivery. They called to let me know they were short on steak and asked if I like shrimp. I do! They added chicken and shrimp at no extra charge and threw in a Thai tea for free as well. Generous portions and fresh ingredients; medium pho is plenty. This Wendy’s Vietnamese restaurant is the BEST!! Thanks for excellent service and great food every time!“

“They are known to only use the best, fresh and high quality ingredients to prepare their food. I have never had anything but excellent service from the staff. They will go out of their way, customize my meal and drink to make sure I am always pleased.“

“Amazing service amazing food“

“My daughters and I went there toniqht. We had the beef, and chicken pho' with a side of spring rolls. The service was friendly, inviting, and the pho was excellent, with the broth being so flavorful, and the portions were just right. The spring rolls had a refreshing minty twist to them that paired well with the pho. We'll definitely be going back to try more menu items seeing that we enjoyed our first visit. 5☆ all the way around!“

“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.“

“My wife and sister in laws favorite!“

“My wife and I have eaten at almost every Phö place in the neighborhood, and we rank this one in the top three. The family that runs the place is there every time, very personable, very friendly, and they keep the place really clean. The food is on par with the competition, the prices are comparable, and there's just nothing bad to say.
Would recommend, will return“

“Oh my gosh. The General Tso chicken was really fresh and delicious. I had two stars spiciness and it was just right. My wife who doesn't do spicy said the chicken was good. She had chicken pho and let me tell you that broth was the best we've ever had. Even the chicken had this char grilled flavor that takes it to the next level.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for almost a year now and we couldn’t be happier with the service and atmosphere. But what really brings me happiness is the food quality and consistency. Always delicious and never a long wait. The food always has me dancing in my seat with joy. The food I get is a t5 spicy or when I’m in a broth mood tendon pho with tripe. Hubby gets his the same every time pho. I will load pics next time I was just so excited to eat“

“We've been coming here on and off for years and enjoy it. The food tastes good, the lady that runs the front is super sweet, and I've always had portions big enough that a plate of chicken teriyaki is enough for two meals for me. The beef in the broccoli beef is so soft that I hardly need to chew it.“

“Been wanting to try this forever ! Finally did and the food and service were great 👍 definitely coming back !“

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

“We have lived in several places and have tried lots of places here and elsewhere that sold banh mi sandwiches but these are the best banh mi sandwiches we have had! We think they might make their own buns because they are so very tasty and just as good as the fresh baguettes we had when we lived in France! The sandwich ingredients are fresh and flavorful and we especially love the wonderful paté they include on them, unless you tell them you are vegetarian or vegan. They make the paté themselves and it is also as delicious as any we used to have in France! We like their rice bowls too. If you haven’t been to the “Toast Mi”…located in Lacey…we highly recommend seeking it out and giving it a try. If you like banh mi sandwiches, you will be happy that you did!“

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

“I want to preface this by saying it was an Uber Eats order, so my expectations were not very high. That said, whoever made my order on November 27, 2025 around 8 p.m. absolutely nailed it. This was hands down the best spicy chicken ramen I have had in the Tacoma/Puyallup area.

I ate every single bite. I was completely full, but I truly could not stop. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the chicken was so tasty. Everything about this order exceeded my expectations. Thank you for such an amazing meal. I will definitely be ordering again.“

“Food wasn't as good as I've had here in the past. Vegetables weren't fresh. Also waited 20 minutes for my order.

Was in the area so I decided to give this place another try and I'm glad I did! Food quality was good. The pho was tasty and customer service was much improved from last time“

“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!“

“🍲 Pho Ever 🫶 1st time here and it’s was Chill and cool place to eat.“
