I had the Pho King at Pho King and it was so Pho King good. I always try out any pho spot that names itself Pho King, and I wonder, do they get their own joke, because it's a Pho King good one. Broth was good, could be more tasteful, but overall it was a good bowl of soup. read more

Back again and equally impressed, this time the brisket and meatball pho! So delicious and perfect for the price. We ordered to go on their webpage and it was the perfect experience read more

I ordered via Door Dash. My dinner of shrimp, chicken and vegetables had a single shrimp. I ordered "fresh cocoanut water" with supposedly chunks of cocoanut and they gave me a can of "roasted coconut water" with tons of sugar in it. The veggie Pho was decent but overall I won't order from them again. read more

Love the prices here!!!! Pho for under $10! Came here on a Saturday around noon, and there was only one other person there eating. The service was not very good in that the workers weren't very friendly which was disappointing. But the prices here are so good! $7.95 for a large pho which is pretty cheap compared to other pho places. Street parking was easy to find around this time. Bathroom is clean which is nice considering the area. My mom is super picky, and this is her favorite pho place. I got the rare steak/beef pho, and it was pretty good!! 4.5/5. I liked the broth, and the size portion is good too. My mom got the seafood pho which had so much seafood in it. We also got an order of spring rolls which comes with two spring rolls. The spring rolls are definitely much smaller than the spring rolls I'm used to getting at other places. But they're filled with a good mix of vegetables and meat, so they were tasty. Looking forward to trying their other dishes! read more

Best pho I've ever had. Large portions for a very reasonable price. The spring rolls were also delicious! And they have T-shirt's!! read more

Pho King - Shirt - Vietnamese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

If you've read the reviews, you know what to expect. Pho King was a staple local pho restaurant with quick service and convenience on a dreary day! When the Tacoma rain's coming through, a hot soup is the best call. Pho King has good hours and best for carry out. I recommend calling in the order & paying at pickup. It's far easier than using their website. OVERALL: 3/5 Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 2/5 My order: The #10 - Pho Soup with eye round steak, flank, and tendon read more

Gluten Free friendly!!! Amazing place, great service, delicious food. Their special beef stew pho #39 is out of this world. We also got combo pho #11, and it burst with lots of flavor. If you are looking for Gluten Free options, then all pho soups are gluten free, just make sure you don't use any sauces provided. Summer rolls are also gluten free, however, the peanut dip does contain Hoisin sauce, which is known to have wheat in it. read more

First time visiting this place and it's definitely on my list to return to for pho. The pho hit the spot though, so I am definitely returning to try the other dishes on their menu. Signage outside made this place not easy to find, but once you are there, the customer service and food are wonderful. The restaurant was also cozy even if it was so busy! read more

Haven't been back in six years and oh sweet jeezus it really is the best phö I've ever had still. Bad day? Phö. Heartbreak? Phö. Head cold? Spicy phö. Celebration? Phö and sides. Self care? Large phö. Reasonably priced lunch date? Look good and let them pick anything on the menu and enjoy your phö. The portions are perfect, the prices are great, the food is all delicious, the service is fast, the restaurant is clean, and I hope this place never goes away so I can get back up from Oregon again and enjoy it. read more

We stopped here after a long day looking for a home cooked meal. My son was buying, so yay! We ordered a large mixed pho, tofu bahn mi, and summer rolls. The pho was 4/5. The meat was a bit sparse and the mix not as varied as other places. The broth was quite tasty, portion enormous, and noodles interesting as they were thin, the last a nice textural difference. The bahn mi was amazing. I ordered it without pate. They removed some of the inner bread which made it more crisp and fulfilling as the focus was on the contents. The tofu serving was generous. One negative aspect was that they added hoisin sauce, which I would have preferred omitted (too sweet). Would have been 5/5 had it not been for the hoisin. The summer rolls were adequate. 3-4/5. The prices were good. With no drinks, it came to $25ish including tax. Not bad. My teenager ate every bite. Parking is on the street and can be a challenge, especially since there are several bars around the area. read more

Came here to revive me after a night of drinking. Me and my friend got large bowls of pho. I got the house special pho and it did the job. After we killed the broth I was brought back to life. The prices are good too. Inside is nice and clean. read more

My boyfriend touted this joint as the "best pho in the world" and I can't really argue....it was delicious. I had the veggie pho which came hot and full of yummy things, their broth is deep and warming and they have a selection of sauces to add to flavor. I also liked the heaping load of sprouts, mint and peppers that came with it. We also shared a banhmi which was truly great. Soft bread, the right mix of veggies and meat and absolutely perfect for dipping in the pho. We ordered fresh rolls but we got pot stickers (no biggie, they were kinda busy) which were ok but the sauce that came with them was great. Someone back there clearly knows how to cook! All in all it's a great little hole in the wall. It's clean but authentic all at once. It's a great spot for lunch in downtown Tacoma and I'd totally go again! Also - the shirts they sell are HYSTERICAL "I pho king love Tacoma". Brilliant. read more

Wow! What a totally great find. A friend of mine and I went here on a total whim ( *cough* because I was hungover *cough*) after we grabbed some coffee down the road at Red Elm. Based on the area and just from the outside, I wasn't expecting much. However, I did notice they were sporting a "People love us on Yelp!" sticker. Kudos. It was later in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so we got a seat quickly. Service was friendly the entire time. I opted for my usual, brisket pho, and I added extra broth to the order. I also added a side of rice for my son. The side of rice is always a HUGE portion, but that's okay. The regular sized bowl of pho is what I would compare to a medium at other places, so it's a good portion. The broth was delicious. Lots of flavor, not sweet (my broth pet peeve), and something I could enjoy without adding anything at all. I ended up adding a little Sriracha about halfway through just because I started to crave that spice. The cuts of brisket were fantastic. Super tender and not fatty whatsoever. Noodles were your standard pho noodles, but they were good. What really blew me away was the price - even with adding extra broth and getting a massive side of rice, my total was only $10. I feel like nowadays, you're hard-pressed to find just your bowl of pho for that price! Great restaurant. Not typically in the area or else I would return. read more

New go to pho spot in Tacoma. Came in on a Monday at noon and had an easy time getting a table. You just seat yourself and they'll bring you a menu and take your order. Took us a minute to figure that out. We both ordered pho, spring rolls, and egg rolls. Everything came out fast and hot!! It was so good! Demolished it. On our way out we got boba tea to go. Taro and peach mango. The prices were reasonable, and portions were great. Service was average for a pho restaurant. I'll definitely be back. read more

DISGUSTING! I'd give it a zero stars if I could. I came in and ordered pho takeout after I got home I took a look at the bottom of the pho container to look at the seasonings and seen a small curly hair THANK GOD I checked because after pouring the broth out to further investigate it indeed was a curly hair that looked like a pubic hair I'm absolutely disgusted and do not recommend eating here I'll also be reporting this restaurant to the health department it needs to be shut down IMMEDIATELY extremely unhealthy and dangerous I'm mad I waisted money or even stepped foot in the place read more

Is there anything better than a hot bowl of pho after a rainy evening at Zoolights? The broth is top notch!! They even have a kids bowl. Staff is friendly and efficient and consistent with masking. High ceilings and well-spaced tables make you feel pretty good about things. Or maybe it's the food making you feel good. This place is definitely worth a visit!! Even has gender neutral bathrooms. read more

The best fancy food ever best price and only takes four minutes to make or maybe less has the best bubble tea and soda ever

Service was good, food came out fast. We got egg rolls, Vietnamese crepe, and the special pho. Overall the egg rolls and pho tasted good. Broth had good flavor and was clean. But they give very small portions of meat. We got the large size and there were maybe 5 pieces of meat. The Vietnamese crepe was bland, oily, and mostly batter. I counted 4 tiny shrimp and 3 pieces of chicken. Never mind I asked for no bean sprouts and the entire thing was stuffed with them when it came out. Unfortunately we won't be back. read more

This is honestly one of the best Pho and vietnamese you can get. I know Anthony Bourdain would have loved the Pho. Absolutely outstanding. The broth is rich and nuanced. BTW. The best hangover broth on the planet! Live to tell. read more

Food is always delicious! I almost always order to-go and get extra bean sprouts for my phò. The Banh mi is another go-to. So yum!

If you're in the mood for a cheap bowl of hot soup, you have found the right place! A regular bowl of pho (which is a very hearty portion) costs $7.50, or $8 if you get seafood. There was a wide variety of options, including several vegetarian dishes and bubble teas. I can't speak to the quality of anything except the seafood pho, which was delicious and heart-warming. 10/10 for flavor, cost, and soul fulfillment Service was quick, and the store itself felt very comfortable and relaxed. Even at around 3pm, a kind of off time, there were plenty of other patrons in the restaurant so I could imagine they might be busy around lunch or dinner time. I'd definitely come back here to try a different soup or bubble tea in the future! read more

Pho King - Seafood pho (regular size) - Vietnamese Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I had food from here for four meals in a row. It's that good. Meal #1 Dined in with my gf. I got the grilled pork and egg rolls noodle bowl (bun). The grilled pork is perfection, sweet and savory. The portion is big and all the ingredients are fresh. I also tried her veggie egg rolls and veggie pho, which were tasty (if you're into that sort of thing). Meal #2 Leftover bun for breakfast. Yes it was that much food. #lifehackprotip, finish the egg rolls during the original meal because they tend to disintegrate overnight if you've mixed the sauce in. Meal #3 Took home a grilled pork bahn mi from the night before, ate it for breakfast. Same superior pork in a big sandwich with pickled veggies and a creamy sauce. Pho King throws onions into the mix, a surprising but not unwelcome twist on the classic. Meal #4 Went back with a friend for dinner. Ordered the house special pho, which came with beef, tripe, tendon, and meatballs. The large was just $1 more than the regular, and was a really large portion. The beef was fattier than other pho places, which was a nice change of pace. Overall great prices for big portions of high quality Vietnamese food. So far this is my go-to spot in Tacoma. read more

Best darn pho in Tacoma. Rainy days call for a nice hot bowl of pho. The Pho King does not disappoint! If you're coming for lunch get here early (11:30) because it fills up FAST! Before you even walk in the door you can smell the amazing aroma of the broth. Mouth watering goodness! Upon entering, you are warmly greeted and seated. Waters are brought promptly. Orders taken when ready. The three of us order two different bowls of pho and a vermicelli bowl. All were raved about. Me... steak pho and a bubble tea. I haven't had bubble tea in a couple years. So good! The pho. Amazing. The broth was exceptional. My friend who ordered the vermicelli bowl was so pleased she wanted more! It looked delicious! To check out you just go to the counter. They are super accommodating to splitting checks. Easy peasy! So happy I found my go-to spot for pho in Tacoma! read more

I needed a late lunch after checking into the Courtyard Tacoma - after a check of Yelp - I found Pho King with an average of four stars. Ordered my standard order - the fresh garden rolls and a bowl of Pho Ga. Before they brought out the Garden Rolls - they brought me some little baked puffed pastry thing. Odd - never seen that before in a Pho place. I tasted it - nothing special about it. I did not eat it. Garden rolls came out fairly quickly with a bowl of peanut sauce. Added some Sriracha sauce to the peanut sauce. Rolls were fresh and delicious! Pho came out with a nice plate of aromatics: Basil, lime, jalapeños, and bean sprouts. Bowl of Pho was nice and steaming hot. First time I've experienced a bowl of Pho Ga with Broccoli and thinly sliced carrots - but was a nice healthy touch I thought. The Pho Ga broth was very average. Not a lot of depth of flavor or richness to the broth. Still, the aromatics and some Sriracha sauce helped make the broth more palatable. I'd come back here again in a pinch - but if you are looking specifically for Pho Ga - it may be worth looking elsewhere. Service was good. read more

It's "pho-king" great! I decided to come here feeling Vietnamnese food, and this place is spot-on with their food and prices. The service here was excellent. The menu has pictures of some of the food in case you're a newbie. The waiter was very friendly and prompt. We ordered spring rolls and it came within 5 minutes! The spring rolls were good, a little too chewy, but the peanut sauce makes up for it. I ordered the vermicelli bowl with shrimp, egg rolls, and pork (#33) which was everything I wanted. The egg rolls were hot and crispy, the shrimp had a lot of flavor, the produce was fresh, and the pork was cooked just right. The only complaint about this dish was that the noodles were a bit springy. The place itself is a bit beat up, we sat on the booths which had some tearing on the seats and the tables are very scratched. I will most likely come here again! It's cheap (less than $20 for an appetizer and 2 meals), the food is good, and the service is quick! I only eat pho once in a blue moon but if I'm ever craving it, this will be the first place I go! read more

The most delicious Pho I've had in a long time. Service was speedy & everyone was very nice! Will definitely be coming back. :)

This place offers Pho at a price that is simply jaw dropping: $6.95 for regular and $7.95 for large. I found the meat to be decent quality but quite small in portion size. The soup base seems to be made with powder instead of real broth. Some of the other positives of this place include fast service and ample seating. Some of the negatives include limited street parking and not allowing credit cards for items under $5. read more

Got the brisket pho for takeout. The meat was really chewy I didn't want to swallow it once chewed into a ball of tough meat. Noodles a stale texture. This may be because I got it to-go and maybe just toughened up during ride home, but not the best. Thai tea is one of the sweetest I've ever had so if you don't like that, stay away-sugary. Still in search of pho spot in/near Tacoma. read more
