Veggie Bowl
Diane M.

Great food and fantastic service. We stopped for lunch leaving Seattle, and were fans of the food. Small restaurant, with good vibes.

Chicken Pho (Pho Ga)
Reynu S.

This was a very cozy place with tasty food! The chicken pho was a bit lackluster. Felt like flavors didn't have enough time to fully develop. But with some heavy lifting from the lime, toppings and dipping sauces, it was a cozy and comforting meal. My mom experienced a similar issue with the vegetarian pho, but she was excited that a place served it to begin with, so she was happy to be able to try their take on a vegetarian broth. Overall, it was a nice experience but not super special. I might go back once more if I lived in the area.

Vermicelli bowl
Naomi I.

A cute, little place that serves the usual Vietnamese food such as pho, bahn mi, vermicelli bowls, chicken wings and appetizers. We went for an early dinner on Sunday and enjoyed the food and the good service. The lady was working alone handling all of the tables herself. Our food came out all at the same time and it was delicious! We ordered some bahn mi to go for later in the evening too. They are located on a Main Street and there is street parking available. The prices were a little higher than other places, but we were happy with the food and dining experience.

Why would they cut the wings like this??!?
Kenny K.

So ordered take out here and was the first time ordering their fish sauce wings. I took a bite out of these wings and the meat on the wings turned into some sort of grainy mess. I spat it out immediately and looked around to see what it could of been. I thought it may have been me accidentally biting into the bone, but no. After further investigation, I noticed slits all over the wings as shown in the photo... smh, why would anyone do this. Especially if you are deep frying these wings, this causes the wings to over cook tremendously. It was a horrendous texture in my mouth. Now that I'm staring at these wings longer, it looks more and more disgusting. Giving 2 stars cause I don't know what the other food is like. And shouldn't judge a pho restaurant just for its horrible wings. Please business owner if you read this. Tell your chef to never do that to your wings. The wings are already small enough. 10-15 minutes without those slits in the deep fryer will cook them through and through. Also got a pho, decent. But could use more broth especially for a large. It comes in a tiny medium sized plastic container. Other places has the taller containers for large. Don't skimp your customers out on that either. Because with this giant beef bone, the soup doesn't even cover half the bowl with soup. Probably will never come back, but hope you guys read this criticism and fix it instead of taking it as an insult.

Crab Rangoons
Danny P.

Great spot, perfect for the cold weather and amazing flavor from both the pho and rangoons already a favorite gem of ours very chill vibe and friendly staff we went on a Friday night, around 5pm able to get seats immediately

11. Special pho (Dac Biet)
Dee Y.

We finally found our pho spot! Got the #11 Special Pho (rare steak, meatballs, tripe, tendon). The broth was great and came out piping hot (just way we like it). Each bowl of pho came with its own bean sprouts, jalapeños, lime and basil, which its great... no sharing them with my family! Hehehe. The bowl is one size but its not small, nice portion of noodles and meat. Customer service is awesome and very nice ambience. We will be back!

W 23. Stir Fried Beef Bowl (Bo Xao)
Jennifer F.

We ordered the spring roll- i opted for no pork, just shrimp and no beef sprouts (if any). Super delicious. They had crispy onions in there which elevated it for me. The rolls were medium sized but perfectly wrapped. The flavor of the dipping sauce was super yummy! This is my #1 go to when I am going to order from here. Unlike other places, the spring rolls from here taste fresh and clean. 2. My husband ordered the ginger and beef pho and the broth was super clean and yummy! He has har tried before and vowed he will never eat it again but surprisingly he gave it a chance here and it did not disappoint! 3. I also had the shaken beef vermicelli bowl. The beef was too spicy for my liking and i would recommend to request for the spice level to a low when ordering. The dressing was not bad but i definitely would prefer the yummy peanut sauce than the fish sauce marinade it came with it. All in all, food was delicious and it is definitely on our top 3 pho go to place around here.

Steak and 9. Steak & Brisket Pho (Tai Chin)
Lyctzy C.

Guys HIDDEN GEN when I say this place is amazing it's so dang good!!!! I don't know why I waited years to try pho but if it's your first time you will love this place . Food is great and the waitress was super kind . Ambiance is cozy

10. Steak & Ginger Pho (Hanoi)
Susan R.

Somewhere between spring and summer is "my face is allergic to the world day". That day is today Looking for a nice spot in my town to support a local Pho place, I found Lunar Pho on Yelp. Altho I was originally thinking of chicken pho. I ordered the beef and ginger pho, which was phenomenal! I had a hot tea and water. They bring the water in a bottle, so that's unusual yet not a bad thing. The true standout of my visit today is not the food, not the ambiance, yet both of those are awesome. The real gem is the server, Priscilla, who is efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and unflappable! She had the whole restaurant that she was waiting on, handing off to-go orders as they came in, answering the phone, and greeting every person that walked in! My pho dish comes with a Chinese donut, which she described as kinda like a churro, only no sugar on the outside. I wanted to try it yet I'm allergic to wheat. She was able to confirm that it wouldn't be in my best interest as there is wheat in the donut. I appreciate her due diligence. Phenomenal service, excellent food and clean restaurant, I'll be back!!

Grilled pork banh mi
Ann W.

Ordered their grilled pork banh mi, which was very flavorful. I just wished that there was less fat in the meat overall. About 30% of the pork was fat, which I had to take out. Otherwise, service and atmosphere were great!

Spare 27. Grilled Short Ribs with Egg (Suon Bo Nuong)
Jay C.

Everything has gotten up in price that it's scary to eat out these days. But at the same time, grocery stores are going up as well to where it's about to same just to eat out. With that being said, two dishes was almost $40, but it was worth it. Our server was very nice and polite. The pho broth was tasty. Although an inch disappointed because the noodles were over cooked just a little bit. The spare ribs were a decent portion and had great flavor. Added on an egg cake and shredded pork skin to accompany the rice and ribs plate. I will definitely visit this place again. Give it a try, you'd be happy with the flavor.

Spring roll
Min J K.

So I never had ox tail pho before and they had it on special... absolutely amazing! Especially their pickled jalepeno OMG! Amazing! Service was great and pushy at all! I love how the theme of the places followed through with its name lunar!

8. Meatballs Pho (Bo Vien) + Grilled Steak Sandwich (Banh Mi Bo Nuong)
Paris T.

I went on a lunch date here with my husband and we felt instantly welcomed upon walking in. We ordered: Meatball Pho and Banh Mi Bo Nuong and the food came out in a timely manner. The overall ambiance of this place is very comfortable/homey. Our server was excellent and attentive. The menu had a nice selection too. Highly recommend!

Daughter and I were looking for a quiet place to sit down and talk while having a snack after a…read morewalk through the rain at Wright's Park. We saw this little sandwich shop we hadn't seen before and decided to check it out. The atmosphere is very nice, casual, and comfortable. It looks like it would be good to sit and do homework, have lunch with some friends, or go to a casual brunch with family. There are lots of seating choices: a couch and comfy chairs, high tables and stools, and regular tables. One table had a puzzle started you could work on and there were lots of games and books you could use. You order at the counter, they deliver food to your table and there is a place to bus your own table. The beverage menu included coffee and alcoholic beverages. They offered sandwiches, crepes, pastries and soup. We ordered coffee, a pastry, soup, and order of crepes to be eaten there. The coffee was fine served in a nice mug. The cookie was large but packaged in a plastic bag that would have been ok if we had been a to go order. But we were eating there so we either had to put it directly on the table or on the plastic bag. The tomato soup was very tasty, creamy with a little kick of spice. It had occasional chunks of tomato and visible pieces of basil. All of this goodness was overshadowed because it was served in a small ramekin, the type cooks use to portion food when they are preparing a recipe. It appeared we were getting a large taste of soup instead of a cup of soup. For some reason I assumed the savory crepes would be fresh and warm, but instead my order was made with premade cold crepes loosely wrapped around the mostly cheese filling. Taken as a whole we left disappointed. The atmosphere was nice enough that I will try this place again and try something else. I hope for better because it looks like it could be a great place to eat and hang with friends.

We were going to Poquitos on Division but looks like that place fell prey to the Tacoma curse. A…read morelot of places don't hang around too long and that spot in particular has seemed hard to keep in business. But then we looked cross the street on 1st, where there used to be an Anthem, and even though it was already 6pm, this sandwich shop was still open and...there was a BINGO game happening. Whaddya know? So we took a peak in and they were not only serving sandwiches but they also had a cooler full of microbrews and kombuchas, beer on tap, wine, and a whole list of cocktails made from prosecco and other non-hard liquors like Amaro. Truly something for everyone. So we gave our order to the sweet human at the counter and took our seats I'm not kidding, my Amaro sour was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while in Tacoma and so were the pretzel sticks. I want my cocktails cold, tart, and refreshing with a little kick of funk or herbs and I want my pretzels salty. You wouldn't think that's such a high bar to clear but you'd be surprised. Sandwich Starr nailed it. Our Zatan sandwich was tasty but even though the bread felt a little stale. Otherwise the decor is kinda '90s coffee house and they've got bingo! Overall, this is an odd spot but the drinks are really good and it's got heart and it's the heart that makes it Tacoma.

Great dive bar with amazing sandwiches! I've been here a couple times and the bar tends to have a…read moresteady amount of patrons which says a lot. I've had several things on their menu and some of my favorites are the chiptole turkey melt sandwich and artichoke dip. I love how soft the bread is for the sandwiches. Service is usually quick and attentive. I love to visit for good vibes, food and drinks!

The vibe was cool and all but the experience was kind of unconventional, to me at least…read more Unconventional because as a 1st time customer, I didn't know if I had to sit myself or wait so I felt kinda awkward. No welcome or anything or a "hey just sit anywhere you want". So I just took initiative, grabbed a menu and sat at an empty table. There's a sign that said "order at the bar" but the barkeep would go to other people and ask what they wanted. Okay, that's fine... Trying to follow the rules so I don't single myself out, I went to the bar and was asked for my ID, but why? I wasn't ordering drinks and when other people came, the barkeep didn't ask the other customers for their ID so I felt some type of way but whatever. We proceed to order the Philly and Mac & Cheese. Philly tasted great because it also came with dipping sauce. The only thing lacking was that I felt it wasn't enough. Plus It seemed like I had more bread as opposed to meat. Mac & Cheese was great also, it was soft and creamy plus it had crunchy bits. It had the consistency of valveeta cheese. We asked for the check, we waited, waited some more so I finally went to the bar and closed the tab that I didn't order drinks with, just food. I like the vibe, its like being in a classic tattoo studio with posters on the wall with classical prints from different time periods. Not a big establishment or room inside but just enough to have a modest amount of 30 people. It's a nice joint but not really for me, I'd probably order through Uber eats with this place.

It's not exactly cheap but was SO satisfying with that FRESH egg. It hasn't looked right lately and I didn't get one. Finally I straight asked the clerk if they were using processed liquid eggs now and she said yes. You have got to be kidding me? The whole attraction was the REAL EGG. Tastes like ass when you use liquid commercially processed eggs. It is NOT the same. That's why McDs sells so many Egg McMuffins cuz it has a real eggs. Marlenes is really beginning to suck on a lot of fronts. I did get a grab-and-go of garlic salmon and beef meatloaf which were good. I come for the house made food.

I was excited about the deli, but 90% of it was cold items that needed to be heated up. They looked good, but didn't make for a good car snack. The only real grab and go thing is the sandwiches, which took about 20 min to make. I also felt like the reviews overhyped the gluten free baked goods. I only saw gluten free chocolate cupcakes, but had hoped for more. A good, clean stop for anyone who needs some quality food without the stress of a full grocery store, but didn't meet my needs as well as I had hoped. If I needed a fabulous dish to bring home and heat up, this would have been perfect.
