It's the rainy season right now and today's gloomy weather was no exception. Luckily, Pho&Mi was open because a nice hot bowl of pho was what the doctor ordered. I beat the lunch rush and got seated fairly quickly. The owner took my order and had my bowl of pho dac biet (special) at the table within 10 minutes with a small plate of garnish on the side. Etiquette dictates that you to taste the broth before adding anything else in to it. The purest will tell you to leave your hoisin and sriracha on the side as a dip to keep the broth pure. I was just cold and hungry so I ignored all the rules and dug in. This pho was DE-LICIOUS! The broth was darn near perfect. The tendon pieces tasted like they'd been simmering for at least a day. The meat was thinly sliced and tasted perfect. I don't come to Puyallup often so the thought of not being a regular at Pho&Mi makes me sad. If you are a local, trust me when I tell you that the pho doesn't get any more authentic than it is at this great restaurant. Cheers!

Only complaint is the service and overall atmosphere. It was a little chaotic and loud. Plus the tables and chairs were kind of cramped and difficult to manage with a group. I would return with 1-2 others but maybe not with a group. Employees were cordial but not very friendly. Not a huge complaint, I don't need employees to be overly friendly, it just adds to the reason I don't give this place 5 stars. Overall a great option for yummy pho in Puyallup

Found a long strand of hair in my bubble tea. Another reviewer mentioned he found hair in his food…read more I shudder to think about the sanitation situation behind the counter. While eating, I kept getting whiffs of what smelled like the scent that was lingering in their restrooms. I realized that happened every time they had to clean a table. I think they use the same cleaner that they use for the restrooms to clean the tables. Perhaps it's an all purpose cleaner, but the scent was really off putting. To make matters worse, my husband wanted to try some of my pho (he got a Vietnamese sandwich) so we asked for a bowl on the side. We didn't know until we went to pay that they had charged us extra to split a bowl--on top of the already ridiculously priced bowl of pho. Between the long strand of hair in my drink, the lack of price transparency, and feeling like I was eating in a restroom at times, my lunch that day was not pleasant, to say the least. We won't be returning.

The vibe is perfect for that--low pressure, relaxed, and easy to just sit down and focus while you eat. One thing I really like is that you can order right from the kiosk at your table. The staff still brings everything out and makes sure you're taken care of, but there's not a lot of back-and-forth unless you want it. After talking to people all day for work, I honestly appreciate that more than anything. That said, if you prefer a more traditional experience, they're happy to take your order too--I saw them do that for another table with no problem. I usually get the brisket pho, and it's always really good. This time I also tried a fried roll that came with this super pink sauce that I was honestly a little skeptical about at first--but it was so good. I ended up dipping everything in it, even my brisket. Definitely getting that again. Overall, it's just a really solid spot with good food and an easy, comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely keep coming back.

YESSS!! This is THE place for Vietnamese food! They are indeed authentic!…read more I have been missing the smell and taste of staple Vietnamese dishes ever since I moved out of California a few months ago. I used to receive Mom's vietnamese home cooking frequently and I lived near the Asian hubbubs with easy access to all the cuisine, but now I have to discover new places here in Washington to satiate my taste buds. Everything I've tried so far has been good. I've been content. But here!! I ordered takeout through Doordash, and as soon as I picked up my food, an aroma of so many flavors filled up my car. Parking is kinda annoying since it's on the street but I arrived within 30 mins of opening hours so it wasn't terrible yet. The restaurant already had at least a table or so, with customers, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got busier later. There's a fair amount of space and tables for hungry stomachs! The food was about ready by the time I arrived, and the 30 min drive home left me feeling famished and ready to dig in. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. Everything was packaged well so that nothing spilled during the car ride, and everything was so yummy! I ordered more than I originally intended... I was craving com tam (broken rice) and couldn't find a satisfactory place near my residence, so I drove all the way here to Tacoma.. and then I figured, I might as well order their Banh Xeo too! The photos online made it look so good, and it ended up tasting amazing! Slightly crispy and stuffed just enough with bean sprouts, meat, and other goodies. Perfect after drizzling some of the sauce over it. The Com Tam was also made well, and definitely hit my cravings with its classic ingredients. I ordered a Large Pho Bo Vien (meatball) for my son, and was sooo tempted to eat some myself. The broth smelled fresh and the noodles were cooked nicely. Decent portions for everything, too. I definitely need to return to try out more of their food. So far, it has made me one happy Viet gal :)

The sprinkley, cloudy, chilly day called for something soupy. After all the sandwiches we had…read moreduring our hikes in the Olympics over the past few days, we were feeling for Asian cuisine. We were headed to Tacoma and I came across VK Viet Kitchen on Yelp. Food looked great and reviews were plenty enough. Table is free for all as long as it's available. Once we sat down, the owner came to talk to us pretty quickly. He asked if we've eaten at the restaurant before and how we found out about them. They're a long time standing business around the area, so even on a random Wednesday lunch hour, most of the tables were full. The menu is extensive! There's a lot of menu items that are new to us, but between the three of us, we got the Green Apple Salad with Tofu (S1) and Crab Meat Fried Rolls (A18) to share. My partner got the Bun Rieu Tom Cua (V4) and my brother got the Bun Bo Hue (V3). I opted for Hu Tieu with Soup (P15). The green apple salad was pretty good. It's got a lot of tangy flavor to it because they used green apples and they mixed in a lot of apple slices. It also goes surprisingly well with the tofu and it's nice that they cut up the tofu into bigger matchsticks to match the apple slices. As for the Crab Meat Fried Rolls - these were really nicely fried. Nice, crunchy outer exterior and lots of crab meat in the inside. The pickled veggies was a nice palate cleanser. Finally, for my Hu Tieu, the soup was amazing! It's a nice, light, clear and nourishing broth. It's comforting for the chilly day. They provided a lot of pork liver, kidney, shrimp, squid, and even a quail egg in there. I like the addition of chives as well. Awesome Vietnamese restaurant to take a lunch break at. Employees were friendly and efficient. It was also really nice of the owner to talk to us and just get us comfortable. I've bookmarked this place for the next time we come visit Seattle!

My order here will forever be the bun bo hue. It's the best one I've had, and I've had a lot. The broth has so much depth to it, and the flavor is SO GOOD. I love that their bun bo hue has a lot of sate in it, and doesn't taste just like a clear broth that some restaurants serve. It even comes with the standard pork hock and pork blood, I know a lot of restaurants may omit that. I can't recommend it enough, it's a must try!! It is a little on the spicy side though if you're sensitive to it, but it was perfect for me. The service here is quick, although the restaurant itself is a bit small. I never had to wait for long though. I'll definitely be back during my annual Seattle trip!

They play electro dance music and the TV just cycles between short clips of cities like Rio de Janiero. Nothing is particularly cohesive but service is very friendly and they show up where it counts, the food. Food: I'm an American born Chinese kid from California and the food here could go head to head with anything in San Diego or LA. The broth is clean and simple Chinese style soup, not too salty and perfectly reduced. They load the bowls with tons of protein and are very flexible with whatever combination of proteins you want. The cha sui is perfect with just the right amount of sweet glaze and a touch of char to keep it interesting. The roast pork has one of the crispiest skins I've had which you can just let soak in the broth to your desired consistency. The duck is moist, tender, and relatively meaty (sometimes restaurants source scrawny ducks which are mostly bone). The weakest part of dish is the which have that store-bought taste and could be fresher and slightly more al dente. Overall this some of the best Chinese BBQ I've had, as good as any major city I've been. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

The food comes out flavorful, fresh, and just hits every time. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they serve.

If you're thinking about going, just go and be prepared to wait a little, but trust me, you won't regret it.
