Dinner to go!
Aileen C.

This Vietnamese restaurant is located in the Willows Shopping Center. There are multiple businesses available here. I've been here several times since 2016. I've had the following: -Pho (it's ok) -Fresh rolls (it's ok) -Banh mi sandwich (pork & chicken bbq (Yummy!) -Beef short ribs plate (Yummy!) -Vermicelli salad (pork, shrimp, fried roll) Yummy! -Fried roll (Yummy!) -Thai tea (Yummy!) -Chicken teriyaki plate (Yummy!) This places does get very busy and crowded at times. Service is always great. Some pictures are not available due to phone upgrade. My pictures are on the business page though. LOL!

I rated this one kind of on the high end. I think normally I would have probably given it one less stars. But the food was really good, not necessarily the pho broth but the meatballs were fantastic I love the egg rolls and potstickers and all the fried foods pretty much everything but the pho was great. The atmosphere was a little hole in the wall with really oddly placed tables. And the fact that they attach the ordering menus iPad thing to the table was kind of frustrating.

Bean sprouts are old and thrown out

This was the worst spring rolls I have EVER had. You can tell these were made days ago. The bean sprouts are old as all get out. They need to be thrown out. Just TERRIBLE!! I WILL NOT BE BACK.

Regular pho

This place was good to come on a rainy day. The pho was plentiful and pretty good for the large... The menu had a lot of different options if you are not wanting Pho. They also have a great drink selection and milk tea. I was pretty excited to see that. The Thai tea was more milky than tea tasting. I would say if you're in this area and wanting pho it's a good place to go to.

Pho Tai (Steak)

Reasonably priced Vietnamese food in area where you wouldn't expect if. Thankful for a decent meal after a long day. Staff were friendly enough and got the food out quickly. Service is as expected and I couldn't ask for more. There really isn't a standard for Vietnamese restaurant. Ambiance is casual and family friendly. Will come again!

Love this place food is super fresh, great selection of fresh veggies for your pho, delicious flavorful broth the price is very affordable portions are generous. The inside is always clean has comfy chairs and nice decorations very comfortable place. When I order pick up they are alway ready on time and they package the food very well never have any issues with leaking or my order being wrong. All employees here have always been so friendly to me

Pork bahn mi sandwich, pretty good, I needed to add hoisin and chili sauce, bread was toasted and dry. Was hoping for pickled veggies. 7.99

This is my go-to pho place. The service is always fast and friendly, and the pho is consistent. Their steak is very lean and tasty.

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!

Stopped by Hi Bubble Tea once last month on a Monday around 5pm while I was in the area and the…read moreshop was completely empty when I came in. I don't live nearby, but I ended up grabbing a stamp card, so there's a good chance I'll come back eventually for the drinks alone. I ordered a chrysanthemum tea with boba along with a banh mi. The drink was probably the highlight of my visit since it was super refreshing, flavorful, and made pretty quickly too. Definitely quenched my thirst. The ordering process was a little awkward though. There was one guy working the front and I had a hard time hearing/understanding him at first (maybe he was speaking too quietly?), but it became easier once we switched to Vietnamese. He also didn't seem to recognize the drink I wanted even after I gave the menu number, so I had to point it out on the menu before he could ring it up correctly. I'm guessing he might've been new. The banh mi took longer than expected considering the place was empty, probably because from what I could see, there was only one lady in the back making food. Taste-wise, it was decent but nothing especially memorable for me, and the size felt smaller compared to other places I've ordered from. I think the banh mi only came in one size. Usually, I'd order a Large so maybe that's why this one seems small. There were at least a couple tables inside so I could sit and wait. I still had a good experience though and would come back mainly for the drinks because that chrysanthemum tea was genuinely really good. They have tons of options so I wanna try out their other drinks too.

Ambiance: This is a little confusing shop. It has hanging meat in its window like a classic…read moreChinatown take out restaurant but it's run by a Vietnamese family and has a Vietnamese-themed mural on the wall. 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!

Tho Thuong BBQ is SO good!! I genuinely love everything they have…read more It's a small, cozy spot and it definitely gets busy, but honestly it's 100% worth the wait. The food comes out flavorful, fresh, and just hits every time. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they serve. The atmosphere feels lively because of how packed it gets, which kind of adds to the experience. Even when there's a wait, it moves pretty fast and once you're seated, it's all worth it. If you're thinking about going, just go and be prepared to wait a little, but trust me, you won't regret it.
