The food is delicious, the spicy chicken teriyaki is just the right spice, the chicken fried rice is enormous and a good selection of beers. What makes this place special is Aaron. He's friendly, helpful and as jests gently upsells. He really knows his product and his smile is contagious. I have never been let fidd we n by this restaurant. read more

I ordered takeout here on a Sunday afternoon through Doordash Pickup for my first visit. I called twice over the phone, hoping to place an order through this method, but no one answered; went straight to voicemail both times. Just a bit frustrating since I know Doordash charges more.. I also didn't want to place the order at the restaurant because I was so hungry and wanted to grab & go :( I was really craving pho and I liked their menu, so I took the chance and ordered both a regular-sized Meatball Pho (pho bo vien) and their Pho with Steak/Flank/Tendon/Fatty, which seems to be their "pho dac viet." On their menu, the price is listed as $15.99 for a Regular size and $17.99 for a Large. I paid $17.99 for each through Doordash for the regular-size, excluding the almost $4 of tax and bag fee.. Thankfully, I live nearby, so it was just a few minutes to drive over. It's in the same busy parking lot as Safeway and McDonald's but it's more on the opposite side, so I never realized it was in the same lot. Plenty of parking, at least. When I entered, the restaurant had plenty of seating but only a few tables occupied, which made me wonder why they didn't answer their phone.. I know I'm being petty over a few dollars but I just want to get bang for my buck. The inside looked nice and cozy, and I think would be a lovely place to enjoy a bowl of pho on an outcast/rainy day otherwise (if I didn't just want to go straight home lol). I was instantly greeted by a friendly employee that asked if I had a takeout order and escorted me over to a small table, where it was already neatly bagged and ready for me to retrieve. Now, the FOOD. I will say, it was absolutely delicious! Everything was organized and packaged well, so nothing spilled on the ride home. The pho was a good temperature: hot enough to cook the steak, but not overpowering enough to burn your mouth. The regular size still provides ample portions, so both my kiddo and I ate half for lunch, and our other half for dinner. I specifically asked for no beans sprouts with my order, so I do like that they provided enough for my son while still following my instructions. I am not too picky about my pho broth, but I can at least say, the broth here was not watered down. If anything, it might pack too much flavor and might deter some customers, but for me, it was savory and divine! I still had to add my obligatory hoisin and Sriracha sauces, so it might not be the healthiest, but i don't care, I slurped up everything! I usually post images of my food on social media [stories], and actually had a friend ask what the soup was because it looks really good. Some people have a finer palette for "good" Pho but for me, pho is pho as long as it is flavorful and there's a fair amount of MEAT! They offer moderate portions here so I can't complain, and everything was satisfying enough when eaten with the broth. 4 stars because they didn't answer the phone but my son and I devoured everything, so we can at least advocate that the pho is worth it! I'd recommend trying out this restaurant at least, especially if you consider yourself a pho connoisseur (or even a newbie to pho!). read more

The first Asian food place around that gives you a nice large portion of rice with your meal. I ordered the lunch Teriyaki chicken with goyza and it was delicious. My meal also came with a super delicious cabbage salad. The price was a bit high for lunch but I'd definitely go here again read more

Great food and staff. A must try. I have to have this at least once a month. The beef rib is my favorite and most definitely fulfilling. I like to eat in and grab food to go when I'm feeling less social or after a hard long day. Also the spring rolls are huge with a delicious peanut butter sauce. read more

There's not a lot of good pho places around the Lacey area and this spot is overall decent for pho. The chili sauce they have at the table is good. The wontons were pretty disappointing with the sauce. I'm sure they're frozen and heated up which just sucks for the price they charge for them. The staff is really nice and service is quick! read more

Hot Ginger Pho - Steak and Meatball Pho with Brisket added - Vietnamese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

We love the place. It was a late lunch, kids and I were starving. We ordered a regular Pho noddle and a BBQ pork rice dish. They looked pricy to me at first, then when I saw the actual dishes, they were BIG. Love the BBQ pork rice, it gave pretty good amount of pork chops with pretty balanced veggies (a cup of coleslaw and some Vietnamese salad with fish sauce) I was amazed that food was so good that kids wanted to order an extra bowl of rice to finish the rest of the pork chops. Servers were really attentive all the time and environment was nice and quiet (my kids were probably the only noisy source in the restaurant) I am happy with everything. The only 2 things I think the restaurant can improve. There are: 1. Pork chop is little salty (maybe that was the reason to make the dish delicious), kids got excited in the beginning and after all, got really thirsty. Otherwise, the dish was nearly awesome. 2. The fish tank needs to clean. We will make sure to visit in the future for different items. Thanks to feed our empty tummies with your yummy food. read more

I'm pretty picky about my banh mi and spring rolls, and I was solidly satisfied after a fast dinner to go here. We got the spring rolls, a beef banh mi, and a pork banh mi. Everything was ready in the exact time they estimated, which was really nice since we were stopping quickly in an effort to get home several hours away. The rolls are a little tough to eat without falling apart, and they use lettuce instead of basil, but the fur is very fresh. As for the sandwiches: The meat was good, if not a bit sparse, and the sandwiches were a little mayo heavy, They were able to accommodate my cilantro aversion, so that is a plus as well. The jalapeños were HOT, so eat your first bites with caution! Service was pretty good, easy to order on the phone, and it was right off the interstate, so easy to get to. It was $40 before tip , which is a bit pricier than North of the city, but not unexpected. It hit the spot, and that's all I could ask for. read more

Food was incredible. Ordered brisket and meatball pho and split some gyoza and shrimp tempura with my mom. Also ordered a bahn mi to take home. Wonderful food, excellent customer service, and they keep it clean so it is a good atmosphere to eat in. Service is quick and friendly, and they will accommodate any special requests. Definitely recommended if you are in the mood for some good Vietnamese food. read more

Their food has changed. The chicken was dry and the fried rice had no flavor. Pho was pretty good

I've always liked the food here but today I watched a waitress drop a to-go salad on the floor, pick up the pieces that fell out and put them back in the box, and then go ahead and bag up that salad with the to-go order she was packing. IDK what else to say, but I don't think I can eat here again. read more

This is my favorite place to get Pho. It's always so good. I am a picky eater, too. One time my daughter accidentally took the pho spoon dumped it in the to go box and the worker came and knocked on our car window to get it back haha. My bad man. It seemed excessive for a spoon but it was our bad. read more

Yeaaaah ... I'll never come or eat here again. Y'all better watch your stomachs ! Not only did my spring roll have mold of it ( and they said it was from the lettuce and it was cut fresh) why wasn't all the spring rolls like that then ? If this is what fresh if then .. maybe we shouldn't be serving it. Also that green hue ? Can't be from the lettuce since it's through and through. ( but whatever they said fine ) i still had to pay for it .. also, ordered a steak pho .. please look at the picture and tell me if you're going to eat something that is going left and right ? Like i thought i was tripping so of course i dressed it up and it went away but 5 secs later back to being separated .. those who love pho like me .. know that ain't right .. Also it says hot ginger pho + bar but that is some false advertisement. Asked for a Bloody Mary and was told they don't make those let alone don't have a drink menu .. so why even say y'all are a bar ? Ambiance it was cool in there good music but i don't recommend Food : 0/10 Service :1/10 Ambiance 3/10 Y'all be safe out there eating everyone's pho .. just not this place.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ! read more

The best part of this restaurant are the chill vibes. Hostess tells you to sit where ever and are all in jeans or sweats. Food comes quick. The pho however is almost bad. It's blands as all heck and it came out so hot that the noodles dissolved before it was at an edible Temp. read more

We went there for the pho. I saw a man eating what looked like some kind of meat. I asked the waitress what it was. She said it was the charbroiled pork chop dish. My husband ordered it. It was the most amazing dish. Very fresh lip smacking delicious. Most tender pork chop ever. Comes with fresh salad, broth , and steamed rice and fried egg. All their stuff is made fresh daily. I got the steak pho. Yummmmm!!! My waitress was excellent. The place was pleasant and clean. read more

Hot Ginger Pho - Chicken pho...wow so good - Vietnamese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

This was the first restaurant we got to dine in at since the pandemic. They were definitely following all the precautions which I appreciated. We stopped by after shopping at Cabela's. We ordered the brisket pho, brisket pho combo (with egg rolls), and chicken fried rice. The pho was delicious! The broth was so flavorful and filling. I've eaten at a lot of pho restaurants and never realized I could find someplace this good in the south end. The chicken fried rice.... OMG. One of the best, if not, the best chicken fried rice I have ever tasted. No joke. My husband said the same thing and he's a foodie. We'll definitely be back here in the future. Check them out. read more

Amazing food. The service could probably better. But it was busy so I don't blame them. The taste of the food is there. It's not plain. I ordered the steak pho. It was amazing. Perfect temperature and the noodles weren't over cooked. The food came out pretty fast considering that it was pretty busy for a Sunday most tables were taken up Almost. I've never seen it this busy before. But definitely the best spot to stop at for pho on a gloomy day ! read more

Came here for dinner on a weekend, wasn't busy. The tables near the door get really cold though. So I suggest sitting further inside. The pho was rather flavorless. It seems like they don't really cook the broth for long enough or it's just very diluted. The portion size is pretty good though. The gyoza weren't anything special either. I got them since I was pretty hungry and there's a combo that had them for like $2 more. read more

I liked this place. The environment itself was a cozy feeling. The restaurants layout was also nice except that they blast Spanish music in the kitchen like it was a bar/club. So who's making my pho? Taste of the broth was a bit too sweet for me so i didn't put any hoisin in it and I had use it as a dipping sauce for my meats only. The portion was huge! Ordered a couple large pho that came with appetizers; fried roll and gyoza. Very typical gyoza and the fried roll was not warmed thoroughly. It seemed like it was previously frozen and fried when ordered. The filling was cold and tasted like melted ice. Hard to explain that, but I'm sure most people know what I mean by that. Overall, I do recommend this place because all the other orders that came out looked delicious and large in quantity. I would try this place again to see if the review changed. read more

We ordered pho, banh mi and an order of fried egg rolls. The pho was decent, definitely not the best pho I've tasted but it satisfied my craving. They had lots of meat and a good portion of noodles for the large size. I had a bite of the BBQ pork banh mi and it was delicious. The pork was deliciously marinated and the jalapeños were fresh and crunchy! The fried eggs rolls... here's where we were stunned.... Two egg rolls for $9.99?!!?? Are you serious?? They were a decent sized egg rolls but 2 for that prices seems way too steep. We haven't tried any other pho place in the area so we will definitely be checking out other places before coming back here. read more

Four stars for good (but not the absolute best) pho with fresh ingredients and very generous servings. Very customizable, easy online ordering through grubhub (I wish they had another option- I prefer ordering systems that give more to the restaurant). The staff is friendly and the biggest plus is that as take out the pho is pretty well packaged. The broth is packed separately so the noodles and meat aren't overcooked which is great. read more
