Delicious food and BIG portions ...the staff were very nice as well ! I can definitely see myself coming back here when I come into University Place to visit my friend who works nearby.
My fiance and I decided to try this spot for a date night! As for the food, we ordered spring rolls (fresh), beef yakisoba, and a noodle beef salad bowl. The food was great, I'd rate my salad bowl a solid 4.5. The yakisoba delivered a 5 star in my baby boos book. The spring rolls were about a 3 from both of us. Service! Friendly, they let us choose the seating, but unfortunately forgot our spring rolls and needed a reminder before we took off. Very quick though! Ambiance, not much to look at really except for the limited view of the little square outside or the brick walls. Had fun though! And again, food was great!
Came here to check it out. Located in the same area as Whole Foods. Be prepared to pay for parking if you do not park in the parking garage. Walking in, we waited for a few minutes for someone to come and tell us we could sit anywhere if we were dining in. The space is big. Music playing. A garage style door that opens up to outside dining area for when weather is nicer. Menu has a decent selection including Pho, Noodle Bowls, Bahn Mi, Teriyaki, Curry, Bulgogi. We went with the Pho Combo (steak) one with Fresh Roll one with Gyoza. They brought out a dish with basil, jalapeno, lime, and bean sprout. We asked for a second one since there was two of is. Most of the basil was brown. When they brought out the Pho Combos it was brought out with both being Fresh Roll. They made correction after they were told one was supposed to be Gyoza. We also paid $3 extra for vegetables. The pho broth lacks any depth or flavor from aromatics. Not sure what their process is, but definitely needs improvement. The vegetables they brought out were basically raw and in a separate bowl from the pho and added a little bit of a weird taste. The fresh rolls were good, but had a lot of noodles as filler. Chili oil added a weird flavor to the broth as well, not sure what kind of oil they used. I did not notice anything that suggested the quality of food being higher here than other Pho places in the area. The ambiance is nicer yes, but the food is meh. I also agree that it is on the pricey side. So many places like this in the surrounding area, may not have the variety of cuisine with the mixture of cultures--although the Pho spot down the street is pretty close. I am not sure if I would be back. I like Pho to be a bit more authentic. This didn't really do it for me.
The soup was just meh. I got the combination that supposedly had all the stuff. No flavor and no odor of Star anise. The few pieces of meat were very small and mostly fat and no flavor. Probably only about four pieces. I chewed on a couple of grisly things that would not breakdown. One of the photos shows them. I couldn't tell if it was tendon or gristle. The noodles were more chewy than soft. Not much tendon or tripe. The bowl was huge but not filled to the top but plenty of soup. I did eat it all . I wouldn't order it again because there are better Pho places around like UP Pho and Teriyaki, located at Harbor Greens area. The staff were friendly and the environment was great but not enough to save the soup. I had the house combination that was supposed to have different types of meat for $17. I only found the fatty brisket.
OMG fabulous! We are so excited to have a great Pho spot here in UP. We have eaten here 3 weeks in a row and the staff are so friendly and very accommodating to us and our dog. Their food is fresh and delicious. They have a great patio with a great menu and nice clean rest rooms.
We came by as we needed to get something from Mud Bay and the closest one to us was in University Place. I saw that this spot recently opened and we decided to grab food here. As we entered, we saw that employees were having their lunch as everyone else in the restaurant had been served (four tables). One of the employees greeted us politely and told us to sit wherever we wanted then handed us menus to browse. I do like that they have several tables and chairs for outdoor dining and it seems like they can open up the side door garage. The inside had a very modern feel to it. Their tables had the sauces, salt and pepper which is always a good sign. We got two large combination phos with one eggroll combo and one spring roll combo. We received our basil, jalapenos, beansprouts and lime but we asked for more bean sprouts as there weren't a lot to share among two people. We also saw that the basil leaves were more on the wilted side than fresh. The spring roll was on a the bigger side which I was happy with and I just wished they gave more of the peanut sauce. My boyfriend liked his eggroll as well. Our phos were on the meh side as the broth was not as flavorful or hearty as other pho places. I wasn't a fan of the brisket here and I feel like they only give smaller tendon pieces which was hard to pick up with chopsticks. We never got checked on during any time of our stay here which is unfortunate as we also weren't sure if we wait to pay or pay up front. It also didn't help that we were right next to the employee's table that was having their lunch at the same time. I would recommend going to a different pho spot as it's way too pricey for the quality, lack of service and experience.
Do not order the fried rolls! Bleck!! Old, cold, overly greasy, and the inside are not recognizable as food. WTF?
I've tried so many pho places across WA, CA, and other states, but OMG Pho really stands out. I couldn't wait to try it after seeing their grand opening, and let me tell you--OMG is right! These days, pho can be pricey, and portions are often small, but this place is a pleasant surprise. The portions are amazing, and the service is fantastic. I ordered a large pho $15, and it was huge--I couldn't even finish it! There was a generous amount of meat, and the broth was rich and flavorful. This owner gone wild, selling large pho for $15. Crazy!!! I tried the steak pho, teriyaki chicken, Katzu, Korean bulgogi, and spring rolls, and each dish was delicious. Everything was full of flavor, and I loved every bite. Highly recommended if you're looking for great taste, quality, and portions! We will come back again.
I'm less enthusiastic about this restaurant now often visiting several times over the last 7 months. I started to question if I was risking my health after reviewing their less than stellar food inspection reports. I've had slightly incorrect orders. But today, shortly after opening I received a banh mi with day-old toppings. I did not pay a discount price for yesterday's food. I used to recommend this place, but sadly now I likely will not return.
We were just killing time before a flight hanging out in a nice little park area in University Place downtown when we noticed OMG Pho. So glad we tried it. Great food with fresh ingredients. We had yakisoba, chicken fried rice and pho. Loved the homemade hoisin sauce. Super friendly staff. They are able to put up the side wall of the restaurant like a garage door making it both indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean and lovely. We would definitely eat here again!
My wife and I went here for a lunch date last week. The staff was friendly! The restaurant itself was very cold, but maybe they just haven't figured out heating yet. We both ordered pho and the quality of the meat they use is fantastic and plentiful! It's the best in UP, I just hope they keep quality high. We've seen quality slide at similar places after opening. When we finished our pho, we weren't sure how to pay. No one came to our table, and we learned you had to pay upfront. A bit awkward, but maybe something they'll figure out.
My fiancé and I ate here for the first time. The service is amazing. The foods is amazing delicious. I would recommend to eat here

It's great to have a Vietnamese spot so conveniently located smack in the middle of University Place, across from the library and the Whole Foods Market. This location has seen a bunch of restaurants come and go and I really hope OMG Pho stays. There was nothing extraordinary about the food but it was good enough, especially since there's nothing better than a warm bowl of pho on a blustery fall evening I'm Tacoma. read more

This is worth trying! you will want to go back, we had a very great experience. Next time I want to try more things on the menu. I felt like our pho was made with passion. That had to be the best quality of meat I've ever had in pho as well. We could smell the food from 2 blocks away when we were walking and it made us excited. The service was sweet and gentle, and staff were attentive to tables even when a rush started forming. After finished eating, you just head up front to pay and you walk away feeling satisfied. read more

The food is great, I ordered the combination pho, Thai tea and a side of eggrolls. I was enjoying my warm pho for a while until one of the employees opened the side garage style door of the restaurant. The moment they opened the garage style door, I've had cold draft coming at me, and my pho was getting cold. When I asked the employee to please close the side garage door on the side of the restaurant, he told me that they needed to air the smell out. I didn't realize I was the only one eating at the restaurant at the time. I gave them a one star because number one, when a customer requested for something, they should honor that. I feel like their comfort was prioritized over mine. I was the paying customer. Needless to say, I did not give them a tip at all. read more

Mother daughter date on a Sunday - shared the Roll your own. 1st time there it was good but they forgot the noodles and peanuts. Broth was decent could be a little more flavorful. Service was good. 2nd time around: got the same thing as last time but they remembered the noodles and peanuts this time. The mango lassi bubble tea is good, the teriyaki chicken/katsu chicken combo and everything fried rice was plenty of food and my husband enjoyed it. It's nice to have a variety of restaurants in UP read more

Beef teriyaki and yakisoba chicken were the best out of the selections. Banh mi was good but smaller portions than other places. The pho came in a fun shaped bowl but the broth was warm instead of hot, which is not great when paired with rare meats. Hoping this is just an anomaly and that it'll improve as they establish themselves here. read more

We really want to support a new food place here in UP but unfortunately not sure we will be back, Ordered the BBQ pork salad bowl, Chicken Teriyaki/ Spring roll and fried tofu. *Salad bowl looked good, the quality of pork was questionable. Very thin sliced, tough and fatty. It was ok. *Chicken teriyaki was ok, had better. No pic *Spring Roll went in the garbage. The shrimp looked like it wasn't cooked and there was a thin piece of processed meat wrapped with the lettuce and noodle. *Fried Tofu Looks like they forgot to fry it. It was white with a weird coating. I ended up heating up some oil and frying them so they had a golden brown making them more presentable to eat. They were ok after I fried them. Most likely we won't be back. Sorry read more

The ribeye large pho was excellent. I had the combo with gyoza. The gyoza was perfectly crispy. Next time I come I'm gonna try the Bahn mi sandwich. Also a great idea is that the bowls are perfectly shaped and the spoon will never fall in because how they fit perfectly. read more
