Pho 102 in Tumwater offers a wide variety of dishes. The restaurant is clean, bright, and spacious, and I didn't have to wait long for a table. I ordered the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl, which was a generous portion filled with noodles, vegetables, and chicken. It was good, but not exceptional. The chicken lacked a distinct grilled flavor. However, the standout feature of the dish was the sweet fish sauce. It was incredibly delicious and definitely the star of the dish. The service at Pho 102 was mediocre. While not unfriendly, it lacked the warmth and attentiveness that makes a dining experience enjoyable. I had to get up and ask for a takeout container and my bill, which made me feel like I was forgotten after my order was delivered. An offer to refill my water or a check in to see how the dish was would have made a big difference. Overall, I'm not sure if I'll return to Pho 102. There are many other pho joints in the area, and I'm more likely to try a place that offers better service and a friendly smile. read more

Haven't been here recently, but have been going many years. Just sent a coworker there and they loved it so I imagine it's still great. Consistently great pho. Broth is flavorful and a nice balance. Not too salty, but still rich in flavor. Quality ingredients. Never issues with fatty steak. Nice and lean and meaty. Friendly service. Interior is kept up well, open, comfortable, clean. read more

Delicious - just like how I remember from my last visit years ago. Of course the only test for a Vietnamese restaurant is their pho so we got the pho special and it was excellent - you can really taste the aromatics with a really nice balance - not a strong star anise flavor which of places make it too strong and overpowering. Then we got the grilled chicken vermicelli bowl- another delicious dish. The nauc mong sauce was just right -again, not too sweet or salty which is also tricky with this sauce. (In general that's what Vietnamese food is all about - getting the right sweetness to off set the salty fish sauce flavor. In any case, this chef knows the secret recipe!) The owner is really sweet and welcoming and this is located in a shopping center so plenty of parking. Come with a hungry tummy, leave with a happy belly! Enjoy! read more

Disgusting food... the pho soup was very yellow around the bowl.... a sign that it's not homemade and full of grease. It literally tasted oily too and had barely any flavor. The noodles tasted very starchy and weird. There were so many flies around this place.... The guy serving us was like a robot when talking to us, not much personality. When he finished taking our order and went into the "kitchen" (aka area with a curtain) he was coughing up and hacking up a storm... it was pretty bad. I would not recommend this place. read more

Love love love this place. I moved to Olympia recently and am so glad I found Pho 102. The craziest thing though, I don't usually get pho here!! I love their Bun Bo Hue and Bun Mang Vit. The Bun Bo Hue is a spicy beef noodle soup with a lot of lemongrass flavors. Its seriously spicy! They are not afraid to season it. It does miss out on the pork hock but does come with the pork blood. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The other dish I usually get here is the Bun Mang Vit, a bamboo duck noodle soup. It comes with a cabbage salad on the side with some bone in duck. Such a delicious dish when I'm not feeling spicy. Sometimes I like to get their crispy egg noodles when I'm not in that soupy mood. That's rare but its good also. I always get the seafood add tofu for some extra protein! read more

Pho 102 - #28 - Vietnamese Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

I go here at least once a month and I'm never disappointed. I've tried a lot of different things on the menu but my favorites are the large 5 and the #19. The banh mi is great as are the spring rolls. Fried chicken is super crispy and greasy and covered in garlic and green onions. Service is quick and attentive. Prices aren't bad. read more

Great food and amazing pricing, I got the number 9 pho and a beef banh mi. Both things I ordered were excellent very delicious. I might even say this is one of the best pho spots I've been to! Their Thai tea is scrumptious also! read more

The food is so good here that I almost hate to give away my favorite spot for Pho. The spring rolls are simply marvelous. They have shrimp and pork inside as well as basil and noodles. The service here is always friendly and they are able to adapt to food allergies without any fuss. The ambiance is nicer than most Pho locations as this one moves to is present space just two years ago. So, this is the place for Pho is you want to enjoy a really good bowl of various noodle bowls. They also have a great menu for those who want other dishes. read more

They need to do a better job of reporting ingredients, especially allergens. Ordered the pork bao bun. No mention of shrimp in. Yet there were huge chunks of shrimp. My husband is allergic to shellfish. Glad he didn't bite into it. I ordered the duck vermachelli bowl. No mention of there being peanuts on top. Yet there were tons on there. I have a peanut allergy and wouldn't have ordered it had I known. read more

Delicious flavorful broth. Ordered 1 spring roll, 1 order egg rolls, 2 orders of beef eye of round/brisket pho. Plenty of food for leftovers, and so delicious. Ended up ordering another pho to go. Service quick and efficient. Took a few minutes to get a water refill, but overall very pleased. Large dining area with plenty of tables. Establishment is clean and tidy. read more

Pho 102 - Garlic Wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

The vermicelli grilled chicken was actually so delicious. The food came out pretty quickly.

I got to finally try out this Pho restaurant this last weekend. I had the Pho 102 special (meatball, tendon, beef, etc.) and a fresh tofu spring roll. The broth of the pho was OUTSTANDING. The sauce for the fresh spring roll was a bit thick for my taste and I loved how peanutty it was. The service was swift and pleasant. And the inside of the restaurant was so beautiful. The prices were that of a standard pho restaurant here in Thurston county. I highly recommend going. read more

Technically, I should only give this place 3 stars, but a friend of mine says service is better in the evening, so I'll trust her. Came in at lunchtime with a friend. I think you're supposed to seat yourself... there wasn't a sign, and one of the servers eventually told us where to sit. Then we sat. And sat. And sat... my friend flagged down the waiter, and he came over a few minutes later. We each ordered a soda, fried spring rolls, and a medium pho. Everything was super yummy. They brought a plate of bean sprouts, basil, and jalapeños to share. Condiments and utensils are on the table. The spring rolls were the best I've had in Thurston County thus far. So good. We sat some more and eventually figured out we needed to go to the register to pay. $41 for both meals (no offer to split and I was in a rush) before tip. If you live in the area or are looking for a meal close to the freeway, stop here. If you have the time... read more

Pho 102 is so far the best Vietnamese restaurant in Olympia area I've tried. I don't mean others are not as good as Pho 102, but variety wise, it is the best. My family loves to eat Bun Bo Hue, Pho 102 has the dish and it is tasty. As well as Pork Chop rice dish. Bathroom is big and clean, I feel safe to take kids for dinning in. Thanks for the yummy food and satisfied our hungry tummies. read more

Nice interior,friendly staff, awesome food! My family loves this place. We go here or take out 2 or 3 times a month. Prices are reasonable, flavors are magical and it's ready super quick. Veggie pho, tofu spring rolls and bahn mi are our favorites. read more

We ate lunch at Pho 102 last week and it was our first visit to this restaurant. The dining room was spacious and nicely decorated.. Our service was excellent. My husband ordered the house crispy egg noodle with tofu and vegetables and I chose the special vermicelli with grilled pork, egg roll, and shrimp. We split a fresh spring roll for an appetizer. It arrived quickly and it was so fresh that the shrimp inside was still warm from being cooked. It was delicious with their peanut sauce. Our lunches arrived shortly afterwards and we were very impressed with the presentation and were totally wowed by how good they tasted. Our over all experience was wonderful. We will definitely be going back to try other dishes on their menu. Great food, great service! A great place to go for Vietnamese food! read more

The pho was ridiculously salty, and the meat was really over cooked. They were closed during normal hours last time I came to try it

Very nice flavorful broth! They don't skimp on the meat either, in the noodle soup! Super fast service always. Nice and clean. Friendly staff every time as well. So good! We love going to pho 102 on a rainy day for some hot noodle soup! Clean bathrooms as well. Zero complaints and 5 stars easy. read more

Honestly it's alright but unfortunately the quantity of meat in the bowl isn't much so you would expect the quality to be very high but honestly it isn't either. Would prefer one or the other! read more

I rarely come to Pho 102 because I'm a big Pho Hoa fan, even though they are located further away. Finally we came in because we were running errands nearby and I'm so glad I did. Sis tried the pork with rice and she liked it enough. We both had the crispy eggroll and it was a solid entry. The real winning bite though was the bahn mi. I wasn't expecting the meat to be so saucy, but it was such a winner. Uggh, now that I'm thinking about it, I want another bahn mi in my mouth right now. We still had some of the fish sauce from the egg rolls, so I dipped my sandwich in there and it was even better. Plus this place is great. Lots of tables, TVs all over the place, and during lunchtime it was so quiet because all the patrons are kinda just chilling out as they eat. We never got our bill, but it turns out if you just go to the cashier and point out your table, he'll ring you up. It wasn't friendly service, but who needs that when you have good food and a peaceful place to lunch. I'm a fan! read more

Pho 102 - Pork bumbao, pork fried wontons and egg rolls delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

Ammmmazzzzing. The downside? They're so far away from me! We stopped in here for lunch on the way home from a long weekend at Little Creek Casino. I really wanted pho, and this happened to be the closest one to the casino on the way back to the house. We went on an early Monday afternoon and they had a good amount of people there on their lunch break. We didn't have to wait though, as it's a good sized restaurant and there were plenty of available tables. Service was quick and friendly. I went with the well-done brisket pho and my husband did the same. This is probably some of the best pho I've had in a while. The broth was so goooood - so flavorful, NOT sweet, just all around really good. Cuts of meat were great as well. Great bowl of pho. Thinking I'll have to make this a routine stop when we go to Little Creek. read more

Excellent quality Vietnamese cuisine. They cook the Pho for 55 hours no shortcuts. My favorite is the brisket and meatball beef Pho. The egg rolls and spring rolls are also amazing. The vermicelli combo is great as well. Their Bahn Mi was just the right size and well made. Next up will be pork chops broken rice pickled veg and a runny egg I cannot wait. Update: Just get the pork chop and fried egg it's the best I've ever had by far. read more

The new address is 5765 Littlerock Rd SW #113, Tumwater, WA 98512. So glad they haven't closed! This Vietnamese restaurant is a favorite with many locals, great food and service, plus a good selection on the menu. It was fun to come in and celebrate their grand opening. Pho 102, has nice decor and a new look. They still have all the old favorites, assorted pho, vermicelli dishes, egg noodles with chicken, shrimp and vegetables. You can't go wrong with the curry or lemongrass chicken. It's also nice to have a variety of condiments at the table, so you can flavor your meal to suit yourself. Try this restaurant if you haven't.
