Ummmm! Spent $70 on selected menu items as take-out. Got home, opened things up only to be let down. My rice was wrapped up in plastic and foil indicating that it may have been leftovers, and my Thai Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) appears as though it came from Costco Deli then grilled looks nothing like the photos. I don't usually do this review stuff, but $70 in this economy hits differently. I wish them the best.

We ordered via Grub Hub and picked up. Worked great and the food was excellent. We ordered the yellow curry with chicken and the Fried rice with chicken. Pretty boring you may think, but Chang Thai prepares it so well it's our favorite order. Always well prepared and the service polite, friendly and fast. We were extremely happy with the entire experience.

Panang Curry with chicken 2.5 star
Saori T.

The service was good, the ambience is pretty standard - booths with paper napkins. It is very casual in nature. There were more takeout clients than dine in. The food was excellent, they nailed the 2.5 star not being overly spicy. We really enjoyed the pad thai, I know it is such a basic dish but they did it well! Really enjoyed our dinner.

Orange chicken

Outstanding. The service is outstanding. The bathrooms are spotless and the food is without question some of the best Vietnamese food in the Pacific Northwest. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Wide drunken noodles with beef. It always is amazing here every time I come here!

Undercooked seafood is a real safety concern. Went here with…read moremy wife for the first time. Parking was easy (shared lot), but the restaurant was barely full yet, no one seated us -- we had to find our own table. The bigger issue: we ordered the Korean seafood pancake, and it was undercooked. Both of us noticed a raw, chewy texture that shouldn't be there with seafood. Having worked in a well-regarded Korean company, I can say this falls well short of basic food safety standards. Seafood needs to be fully cooked, no exceptions. To top it off, we were told to-go boxes cost extra. After an already underwhelming meal, being charged just to take home leftovers felt like poor form. Between the undercooked seafood, the lack of basic hospitality, and the to-go box fee, this was a disappointing experience on every level. I can't recommend this restaurant and would urge others to be cautious about.

We came to Yi's specifically for the Seolleongtang, and my husband has very high standards. He…read morelived in Korea for years and is pretty particular when it comes to this dish. As for me, I'm no Seolleongtang expert, I just know when something tastes comforting and delicious. We stopped by around 4 PM on a Sunday, and it wasn't busy at all. We were seated right away and ordered without much hesitation since the menu is simple. We both ordered the Beef Bone Soup with brisket and shared a Seafood Scallion Pancake. The restaurant itself is nice. It has a clean, modern feel with cool neon lighting that makes the space feel well decorated and comfortable. Everything was spotless, and we liked having the utensils and napkins tucked into the side drawer, just like many restaurants in Korea. Our food arrived quickly, and we were immediately impressed. The seafood pancake was packed with green onions and seafood. It was thick, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Even my picky husband gave it his seal of approval, which says a lot. The soups were excellent as well. The owner mentioned that adding a teaspoon of salt would be enough seasoning, but honestly, I enjoyed the broth exactly as it came. It was rich, comforting, and full of flavor without needing anything extra (for me). The real test was my husband, and Yi's passed with flying colors. He said it reminded him of the high-quality Seolleongtang he enjoyed in Korea. As for me, it simply felt like this kind of meal that warms you from the inside out. Needless to say, we left happy. If we're ever back in the Seattle/Tacoma area, Yi's will definitely be one of our first stops.

I recently met up with a friend from high school here for lunch, and this visit was extra special…read morebecause we hadn't seen each other since we were about 17! A LOT of life has happened since then, so we definitely had plenty to catch up on. Neither of us had been to Bloom Thai before, but we both love Thai food, so we decided to give it a try. This place is definitely different from any Thai restaurant I've been to before. It's super small, with only a handful of tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and find a table. They also have a big jug of cucumber water that was so refreshing! They didn't have my usual yellow chicken curry, so I decided to try something completely different--the drunken noodles. I honestly had no idea what I was ordering, but OH MY GOSH... I was in love with this dish! The flavors were fantastic, and they topped it with deep-fried basil. I'm not even kidding when I say I think I've dreamed about that crispy basil every day since! It was SO good! The food was definitely the star of the show for me, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I think this is such a fun little spot to meet a friend for lunch, especially if you want somewhere casual and different. That said, it is VERY small, so I personally wouldn't choose it for a family dinner with a bunch of picky eaters or rambunctious kids. The menu is also a little different than your typical Thai restaurant, so definitely keep that in mind. For dinner, I'd probably order it to-go and enjoy it at home. But for a girls' lunch or catching up with a friend? Absolutely! Great little find, and I will definitely be back for those drunken noodles and that amazing fried basil!

The service was definitely the highlight of my experience. The husband-and-wife owners were…read moreincredibly kind and welcoming throughout my meal. The husband, who was serving, checked in several times to make sure I had everything I needed. The chef also stopped by my table when she came out of the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful touch. The pork belly was very crispy(an additional fee), but too salty for my taste. The Pad Thai was good, although not the best I've had. The noodles were cooked well, and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. It did not come spicy, but chili sauce was available to add some heat. The spicy omelette tom yum soup had a great balance of mild spice and sourness, and it tasted very authentic. The texture of the fried omelette after soaking in the soup was not my favorite, but that may come down to personal preference. The Thai iced tea had a good balance of tea and condensed milk, although it was sweeter than I prefer. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table afterward. Water is self-service. They also have a helpful sign explaining the ordering and seating process for first-time guests. The restaurant was very clean, nicely decorated, and had a great ambiance. I especially enjoyed the small area showcasing the chef's history and journey. Overall, the warm service and welcoming atmosphere made the experience memorable.

As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.

My favorite is the Kim Chee and bean sprouts. A fried fish also comes with the tofu soup. The service is prompt and quick. The restaurant has lots of parking which is a plus.

Service is quick and the workers are friendly. Their bánh mì đặc biệt (deluxe sandwich) and the cà phê sửa đá (iced condensed milk coffee) are my typical go-tos. The sandwich has layers of meat and portioned appropriately. The pâté adds a rich umami flavor and the Vietnamese bơ (mayo) gives it a buttery flavor. The veggies are always healthy and seem fresh. Also their jalapeños actually have a kick unlike most places I've been to. I recommend this staple to anyone looking for a solid Vietnamese sandwich in Tacoma. Great place to chill and have coffee to start your day. They have other foods like noodle soups, stews, and a rice plate. I haven't tried any of them, but it might be something I might look into in the future
