The decor is beautiful, with gorgeous light fixtures and art. The food was less spectacular but, given the other patrons, I suspect it's Asian food prepared for American tastes -- which is a perfectly respectful thing. No overly strong flavors or odd ingredients, just a very mild comfort food vibe. I will definitely go back and try more items just because I liked the people so much.

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.

Also - bathroom was clean and stocked. Something I sometimes forget to post, so wanted to make special point of that. Price: Middle of the road. Not cheap but not expensive. 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!

Really disappointing experience with Nari Sushi & Steak. The customer service we received was…read moreunfriendly, dismissive, and unwelcoming, which is ultimately what prompted this review. The ambiance also wasn't enjoyable. The restaurant felt very dark and cramped, and the way the tables were arranged made the space feel crowded and uncomfortable rather than inviting. What's even more disappointing is how this business appears to respond to criticism. Looking through other negative reviews, there seems to be a recurring pattern of dismissing reviewers' experiences as false or claiming they were never customers rather than considering that someone may have genuinely had a negative experience. Their response to my review only reinforced the customer service issue I was describing. Instead of asking what happened or attempting to understand the situation, they immediately accused me of being untruthful. How a business responds to criticism says a lot about its approach to customer service. Unfortunately, between the service we received, the uncomfortable atmosphere, and the dismissive response afterward, I would not recommend Nari Sushi & Steak.

I had to refrain from finishing it quickly it was so delicious and smooth. We came for drinks and ended up also getting a charcuterie board. The entire experience was tailored to great customer service with a high end feel. The board was beautifully laid out and had a variety of meats, cheese, jam, hummus and toasted bread. It fed three of us with some left over bites. The drinks are crafted by a bartender who clearly knows what they're doing. Perfect balance of alcohol and mixer in very cute glassware. The bar is intimate. When you walk in there is a crescent shaped booth to the right followed by the bar with stools. Then to the left are single booths lining the wall to the back of the bar. We sat in the crescent booth and had a great spot to people watch and enjoy the vibe of the bar. The room is red. The chairs are leather. And the music is jazzy with an old school Sinatra feel at times. Once the bar was full and the line was out the door the bartender came and slide a door open between the crescent booth and bar. Everyone in the bar halted as he revealed a red room with more seating and neon lights. It was entertaining watching the bar come to life on a Saturday early evening. It gets busy so get in for happy hour and enjoy discounted crafty cocktails and bites.

I started out just getting pho and a spring roll (which are both exceptional), but I've recently started trying other things. It's all been great and the portions are huge. Getting anything other than pho leaves me with leftovers for two more meals. The ambiance is decent; better than 90% of pho places, but not as quaint as Indochine on Pearl or some other Asian fusion places. It's small, so you can hear other peoples' conversations, but that's not a problem and is to be expected. If they're busy it can be tough to get a table, although I've never been turned away and they'll even put me at a bigger table if that's all that's available, even though it's just me. I've been to other places that make you wait until a smaller table opens up, so this is a nice change. Probably the best part is the service. All of the servers are so friendly and kind. They're attentive without hovering, which I really appreciate. Oh and they keep it very clean. One thing to keep in mind: if you want basil or cilantro with your pho you have to ask for it. They'll bring lime, jalapeños and bean sprouts but that's it. It's not an issue at all, just something to be aware of if it's your first time. All in all, 10 out of 10. Great food, good portions, relaxing atmosphere, and the friendliest servers around.

You won't find a better serving of tendon. Other places only give 2-4 pieces of tendon in my bowl- what a rip! Most of the time, the I can't even finish all of the tendon at UP Pho. Thank you for this. Please don't change! Beef Kalbi- another dish that is worth the bang for your buck. They make it just as good as your Korean restaurant. Again, you won't find anyplace serving this amount of Kalbi. Highly recommend ordering. Bahn Mi: I tried their pork bahn mi for the first time today and whoah! I love that they pack it with tons of pickled veggies, cilantro and meat. So good. The only downside is that I got it to go and the bread got a bit soft. I give the bread a 3/5. I've had better baguettes. Glad this is an option in UP!

When walking into Harvest, you pay for your party and wait until your number comes up. I came on a weekend during dinner time and although the waiting area was packed, it only took about 15 minutes. Inside, there's the main buffet area flanked by tons of seating. The food selection is pretty vast with an emphasis on Chinese food. You'll find something for everyone.

The food selection was large and they have a noodle grill with plenty of option. The sushi was excellent, worth the price if you grab just these two options. The rest of the food was a 1 or 2 star depending on what you get. I was shocked how poor the actual Chinese food was. It was mushy, dry or just bland. The other options like pizza, pot roast or chicken looked ok too. Plenty of seating, just need to be willing to walk around and look in all the side rooms. There was a TV and the rooms were small enough that it kept down the main section noice that you can have a conversation. The drink bar was interesting, there were 2 on one side but the other side of the restaurant had to share 1.
