Picked up a pork banh mi and an order of spring rolls for lunch. Food was very good and fresh tasting. The spring rolls had both shrimp and ham inside. Portion sizes were good. The service was quick and very friendly. read more

This small and quaint pho spot delivers extremely well on pho. The broth is just as flavorful as it is fragrant. The Vietnamese ham in the combination pho is some of the best I have ever had. Super light and bouncy but extremely flavorful. The meat is plentiful and the noodles perfect. The bun Bo hue is good and solid too. The broth packs on the flavors you expect from BBH and the meat is plentiful as well. The grilled pork rolls are average and nothing to out of your way for but if you have a hankering for them, they satisfy the craving. I've also had the banh mi here and for the price point, there are definitely better options in the surrounding area. I'll be back for the pho or BBH for sure. Even if they are on the pricier end for the area but I'd pass on the banh mi. read more

This is my friend's favorite pho spot in town and he took me there for dinner one night. it's located in the same little plaza as hong kong market. the space is clean and modern inside. i ordered my usual veggie pho, which comes with fried tofu. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was really good. Noodle soup just hits the spot on a cold night. My friend ordered pho with beef and also a sugarcane juice, which they make fresh, made to order on their machine on the counter. He loves the sugarcane juice and loves their pho. The service was great too. They were very friendly and very efficient! A great spot if you're looking for vietnamese noodles in the kent area! read more

Pho Lam - steak pho and vegetable/tofu pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Washington

I've dined in and ordered out a few times at Pho Lam. In every case, the staff and service is quick and friendly. I slightly prefer to order out just because the parking lot can be a bit tight sometimes. That being said, the restaurant is very clean and has a good atmosphere. My go-to order is the Pho Dac Biet, (I believe it's the P2,) and is quite good. The regular size is a pretty good portion and the price is right for what you get. Overall, Pho Lam is a solid pho option in the area and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

This is one of the best pho broths that I have ever had in Washington, very flavorful and comforting! The portions and prices are very fair with the large combination pho in comparison to other pho places. The toppings were pretty generous too, as I usually have to ask for more from other places. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by staff members and told to seat ourselves anywhere we liked. I love how quaint and adorable the decorations were in the restaurant. It definitely set a cozy vibe while we were there. As we sat down and looked over their menu, it was nice to see how concise it was as I get overwhelmed when there are too many choices. Our server dropped off us a cute transparent water carton with two cups that had ice in it. The main reason I knocked off one star was due to the server was staring at us awkwardly and even came up to us a bit awkwardly before taking our order. It felt like we were being rushed, although I later saw he went on his lunch break after he dropped off our pho bowls. My boyfriend and I both got the same thing but loved our bowls so much. I pretty much finished most of my broth which isn't common for me as often times, pho broths are way too salty and makes me drink more water than the broth. I didn't even add too much chili oil as I wanted to preserve that amazing beef broth. The meat amount was very generous and the pieces were pretty big unlike other places that give you cut up pieces. I'm so sad that Pho Lam is far away from me as I can still taste and smell the broth when I think about pho. I highly recommend checking them out! read more

I just finished shopping at h.k. market right next to it and I wasn't even hungry but I just didn't want to go home to my family yet lol so I came in and ordered the combo rice plate with chicken and I freaking annihilated that plate. The side broth was hot and warmed me up, the chicken was grilled and the shrimp cake was my favorite! I thought the shrimp cake was gonna be like a ramen style with the pink swirl in the center but this was like a pocket stuffed with shrimp then deep fried, it was delicious! I'll can't wait to come here again :) read more

Terrible service. The only young man in there has a attitude worser than any woman I've ever had to deal with. i ordered spring rolls but instead of the shrimp we wanted to replace it with tofu. He started yelling and saying what he HAD thought we said. when it came to our drinks he gave us the wrong order once again. The whole vibe was weird so decided to pay for what they provided and just leave. read more

We were in Kent to catch a movie at AMC Kent and wanted some bun after our movie. Pho Lam popped up with good reviews so we took our food to go. The restaurant was nice,busy, staff and service is fast and efficient. A really nice bunch of people running the place and the food was awesome. My bun with tofu was terrific, the tofu was fried to perfection and there was a lot of it. First time I've ever had that much. My partner got the bun w/grilled chicken & also loved his. A nice place to grab lunch. read more

The food is absolutely amazing, wonderful portion size. The service couldn't be any better. We got a very humble and respectful waiter. 10/10 not too crowded like a lot of other places very relaxing place to eat with good energy. read more

I hesitate to review Pho Lam, as today is my only experience - I stopped and ordered "take out" - Spring Rolls and Fried Chicken Wings, certainly not a comprehensive measure of a restaurant with such a broad selection of entrée's. Nonetheless, a few observations are noteworthy. The Spring Rolls are huge and very freshly made. The peanut sauce is somewhat watered down, not the creamy peanut-forward flavor we usually expect. There are, however, a complexity of flavors (ingredients) in the Spring Rolls, that elevate them over other restaurants. $5 for two, with peanut sauce, is a fair price. The Fried Chicken Wings (6 ea per order) were a highlight. They came with a typical sweet chili dipping sauce which I didn't open because the natural flavor of the wings was delicious. However, $8.99 for 6 wings was high in my opinion. There just wasn't enough meat in the wings. The presentation of the food was excellent. The facility was clean. The young man who waited on me was really helpful, went out of his way to open the door for me and bring the order out to my car. It appears Pho Lam has been open for a year, gaging from comments by several who were here on opening day. The number of 5-Star reviews from people with no picture, all near the opening day, is suspect. Especially considering they've only written one review and live farther away. Based on my short and limited experience, I think 4-Stars gives Pho Lam the benefit of the doubt. I hope other elite reviewers will add their thoughts. read more

Came in yesterday for the first time to try out the foods and it will be my last time. We order bun Bo hue it didn't have the taste and the smell of bun Bo hue and on top of that if we had to pay extra for the pork hock. Other restaurants usually included the pork hock no extra charge. Then we order the special chicken rice plate and it was horrible. Rice is dry and the meat is dry with no flavor. read more

I got the chicken pho and requested chicken breast chicken, not sure if they normally use that, but it was really good and I'm glad I asked! The broth was... slightly... I definitely wouldn't say bad but it was different than any other pho broth I've had and I couldn't put my finger on why/what it was about it. It didn't seem as rich maybe. The server was nice. Overall happy with it though! My pho didn't have many veggies in it, my gf gave me half of hers because she gets full quicker, so it'd been nice if there was more veggies in the soups. I really was happy when I left though, just giving some criticisms. read more

Ordered Ubereats to deliver. My first time trying this place. There are so many Vietnamese places to dine at. Including down the street from my house. But I like to try different ones. This place disappoints. First the wings. I like ordering wings whenever places have em in the menu. This I'm sad to say, the wings have no flavor what so ever. Not even salt! Only way you can try to make it tasty is to use the chili sauce they send with it. Also, a bit in the overdone side. Not juicy like other wings I've tried, including the ones I make at home. For being overdone you'd think at least it would be crispy on the outside. And the bahn mi. I've had great tasty bahn mi, and I've had bad tasting bahn mi. The grilled chicken one has had was not good either. At least they listened and didn't add jalapeños. But come on...The chicken was so dry it was tough to eat, also no flavor. What's a bahn mi with no flavor?!! Parts of the cilantro looked dark and almost old. The kind I throw out. I didn't get that umami taste you normally get with bahn mi. Would be the vinegar/fish sauce dressing or the pickled veggies. That would've helped with the flavor. I think the only good thing about it was the bread destined and tasted fresh. That's why I gave a two star to be fair. After paying over 30.00 for these two dishes, I don't think I can support this dining location again. read more

The taste of food was very average, there was barely any meat in our meals that each cost over 15 dollars. I was very disappointed and won't be getting from here again. My pork rice plate literally only had four pieces of meat. My girlfriend's pho was bland and hardly tasted like pho. There are other places that give you more portions for cheap. Overall not happy about my second experience here. read more

Ah, I can breath now. Over the last six months, my wife and are we're sad because the quality of food from our favorite pho restaurant has been declining due to new staff in the kitchen. We haven't found another Pho place that is good, meet our taste expectations. When stopped by Hong Kong Market to pick up some groceries and notice the name change at this pho place. I assumed a change in ownership or management took place. I am always opt to tryout new restaurants to see how they measure up. Bam! We hit a jackpot; we are no longer sad anymore. Surprisingly, this new place prepares pho just like our old favorite place used to prepare. The broth is clear but flavorable with being greasy. The soup comes out steaming hot and that is how you should eat it. The rice noodle were prepared perfectly, so it doesn't have that middle smell or mushy taste. We both ordered the combination and both of us were very satisfied with our food. The restroom is clean. The customer service is good. We love it and this will be our new favorite pho place. I came back later and had Bun Bo Hue Ox Tail and it was really good. Really happy with the taste. read more

I've been here several times and I think it all just depends on who's working in the time of day which determines the kind of service and food you get. Been here on several occasions and usually enjoy my soup! They are very affordable and you'll spend about $12-$13 on a large soup. The people at the front counter are usually provide exceptional customer service. My most recent visit, I order the same thing I always get which is a steak for and there were way more noodles than anything, and they were only about two pieces of steak on the inside. By the time I was ready to eat my soup, the noodles had expanded and absorbed all of the soup, it was more like spaghetti that day. I was unimpressed. Any other time I've been here, the soup is always been good, and I am sad immediately and I and I have really enjoyed my soup. If you request an egg in your soup, it is a raw egg and as you can see from the photos I was thrown off a bit, so I just remove the egg and the yolk. This restaurant is located in the parking lot of the Hong Kong market on Central in Kent. Parking isn't that great especially if there's a lot of people at the market. Affordable. Good service usually. read more

I recently convinced my 12 year old they need to try pho. "It's Vietnamese chicken noodle soup, with rice noodles. It's great!" They were a little dubious, but we made it over today for lunch. They had the steak and brisket pho and absolutely loved it. My chicken pho was delicious as well. The service was impeccable, the restaurant is clean, the prices are reasonable, and the food is great. The small child is convinced, and demands to come back soon. 10/10. read more

The service was good & the place was clean. The bahn mí I ordered was very disappointing. The bread was super hard and compared to the small amount of meat & veggies on the inside of the sandwich, I basically got a piece of hard bread with a couple pieces of meat & veggies. There were small slices of carrots and two small pieces of jalapeños. There weren't any cucumbers but there was plenty of cilantro. For $4.99 I'd say the sandwich was a rip-off. I'd give this a 2 star. My boba was very good. Flavorful and well blended. Not too icy at all. I'd give this a 3. Overall experience was fine but the sandwich just really put back the stars on this one. They're a new ownership (used to be Pho Thinh) so hopefully this was just a bad day for the sandwich maker. read more
