Go the Pho Dac Biet which should include steak, brisket, tendon, tripe and meatballs for to-go. There were NO TENDONS! And the brisket was already cooked. The one thing I was most upset about was that there were no tendons. The whole reason why I order the Dac Biet (Special) was for that and I got charged for the same price. The noodles broke apart in pieces and the broth was ok. But won't be coming back especially since there are much better pho places around the area. read more

The service is great food is always amazing. Never dissapointed. Friendly staff. Hands down best place to have pho!!! Plus there teryaki options are unique and flavorful read more

Pho Mania - Pork Teriyaki - Vietnamese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Food was authentic, hot and filled me right up. Portions are large and service was prompt and Covid conscious.

Must try once, and try the broth first. The only place I eat pho without covering it in Sriracha and hoisin sauce. The honeydew milkshake is fire! read more

If you're looking for Pho in the Lacey area, Pho Mania is the place to go. Located on Martin Way not far from Winco, the staff is friendly and the service is quick. I like to order the Pho with the beef brisket. The broth is the best around and the noodles and brisket are so good. The restaurant is great for families and the soup is perfect for our PNW weather. read more

Pho Mania - #7 Beef Brisket - Vietnamese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

This place is fine. I don't think any Vietnamese would like it, but if you need a bland pho fix your in luck. I give them point for a well run ship. It was clean and prepped. Also, they give you good portion sizes. Everything just lacks flavor. There is a documentary on the growth and success of American-Chinese food, stating that the trick to its popularization was taking all the flavor and unique seasonings out of a dish. I feel like this place has that mentality. read more

This is my first visit here, from a friends recommendation and a Yelp visit the one thing I will say, is the menu is slightly more expensive then one year ago. I ordered: A-6 2 egg rolls and 4 Gyoza $5.95 #7 brisket pho small $6.99 The food was all out within 5 minutes. My meat was fresh, my noodles weren't too sticky, and the broth with all of the green onions was GREAT! My A-6 was steaming hot, crispy and packed with flavor. The staff was quiet but kind. The place isn't old, but is a little worn. I heard someone order veggies instead of noodles, which I will try next time! The menu had a wide variety of pho, appetizers, bowls and teriyaki plates, but not too much to over entice you. Over all the amazing experience will bring me 20 minutes back to Pho mania, rather than over priced Pho Hoa on the west side! I just moved from CA and hadn't found the quality of pho I was looking for... Here it is!! read more

First and foremost the pho was amazing!!! We ordered takeout but decided to dine in which they were so kind and accommodated us with no problem. The ambiance was nice and clean with warm lighting and nice background music. We will definitely be back read more

These hole in the wall places serve the best food, and this place is no exception. Both the pho, and salads are very good. The place is usually clean, unless they get really busy, then there may be a few tables with dishes on them, but in my opinion that's not a big deal. I like to try to keep the family owned small businesses in business. read more

After a morning of grocery shopping in the area. I recommended Pho to the ohana (family) for a late lunch. It was on a Saturday around 1:30pm, there was one other table eating when we entered the restaurant. Server saw us come in and we sat ourselves. 5 minutes later our menus were given. 10 minutes later we were asked to make our order... Must've been busy I thought to myself. Not the type of Vietnamese customer service I usually get back in Hawaii. Then we started to make the order.. I asked for nuk beyau (oily fat), the server said he doesn't speak Vietnamese. In my head, I said damn... I was like ok that's fine. After taking the order, I walked up to the server and asked if the cook is Vietnamese. He said no... Then my sister and I looked at each other with the Ohh Faux face impression... Soup was warm when it came out, they don't give a lot of Thai basil. Just not what I'm used to. But I was hungry so I ate. I highly doubt I'll be coming back to this location for pho. Still in search of good Pho in our area. Or I'll just wait until I'm back on O'ahu. Figured it would be good to eat because the weather is colder here. Maybe i just didn't find a good spot... read more

I love that they have homemade Thai ice tea!! I hate the cans or bottles that a lot of pho places have. The pho is good, broth is flavorful. All the workers are friendly and service is quick. You never wait for more 5 mins for food to come out. read more

Pho Mania - Vegetable pho....has fried tofu in it - Vietnamese Near Me - Lacey, Washington

Heard about this place and never really got a chance to stop by. Today was the day. My boyfriend took me out and decided to stop by this restaurant after the movie. We ordered a pork banh mi and a super pho with steak, brisket and meatballs. Banh mi was delicious. So crunchy and warm. Pho was SOOOOOUUUUUPPPPPER tasty. The super size was so so big, tons of noodles and the right amount of steak, brisket and meatballs. We even shared the Pho but couldn't finish at all. Customer service was on point. I bit some jalapeño and about to cry, my glass of water was empty and the server was right there after I finished chugging the water. The restaurant atmosphere is so nice and quiet. The color of this place is so warm and the lighting is just perfect for a Pho place. Their utensils are good as well. They have 2 options for chopsticks: disposable and reusable. Their soup spoons are big and even have a little hook to hang on your bowl so it would not dive into the Atlantic ocean of Pho like other places , LOL. Definitely recommend this place. Sorry no pictures 'cause the food was mostly gone except the noodles. I don't know why this place got so many bad reviews but in my opinion as a very picky eater, I'd give this place 4.8 out of 5 stars. Would love to come back here whenever I can. read more

I've never had a bowl of pho so bad that I had to write a review. So here I am finally signing up for a Yelp account to contribute to the Yelp community, especially since I rely on your reviews to find new places to explore. My friend and I were on our way to Pho 111 but they were closed because of a private Super Bowl Sunday party. So we decided to try out Pho Mania since the reviews on this store ranges from good to bad. LOL. Neither the waitress nor cook are Vietnamese. And when I ordered my Pho Dac Biet she didn't understand me at all, either speaking correct Vietnamese pronunciation or Americanizing the words. I finally just pointed to the menu. LOL first time ever ordering pho by pointing to a menu. My friend ordered Pho Tai. Broth was barely warm. Noodles were old because they were in a giant ball and didn't separate even after stirring. Instead they broke into little pieces. Anyone who knows pho knows that broken vermicelli/noodles is not good pho. And not sure how but my pho also smelled a bit fishy, or "tanh" in Vietnamese. I only ate two bites/mouthfuls. I refused to put anymore of that in my system. Sorry but pass this one up. Try Pho 111 instead which is only a little bit up the street. read more

what struck me first about Pho Mania is how big the restaurant was but there was no one in it. After being seated and promptly brought water, we noticed a steady stream of people walking in and out to pick up the orders they had called in. That was reassuring to see because we didn't know if we were the only diners for a reason. Fast and efficient service. Our server/host/cashier brought out our pho on a rolling table which was definitely needed once we saw how large these portions were. I think they are the biggest "small" sizes I have seen in the area! The broth was a little on the bland side, I actually didn't mind it too much because it allows for more customization of my flavors, but the stock could use a little more bone and/or marrow. Large clean bathroom as well. Overall a good place - fast service, clean restaurant and solid tasting soup. Wouldn't mind coming here again! read more

Still zero stars, but I'm convinced now that Yelp will not help me find my next dining experience. If you take a look at Angela P's photos for her five star review, you can clearly see the "gyoza" is store bought. What Vietnamese restaurant serves Gyoza!?!? Also if you look at the second photo, you can clearly see the rainbowing of the meat! That is not ok!!!! Stop promoting these horrible quick buck restaurants people! read more

I have to say that their broth is really good. I'm originally from the bay and I definitely have had my share of good and bad pho soups. Their pho broth is really good and is very flavorful. I got the #4 and was not disappointed! Definitely a go to place! read more

I hate to do it, because they're pretty new, and I want people to try them. But.... it wasn't that great. I've eaten a lot of Pho over the past few years - a LOT of Pho. Should I have known by the decor? It's all strip-mall-new-and-pretty, like Pho Hoa went on Trading Spaces. And I hate to say it, but I think Pho is generally yummier when served by a Vietnamese waitron with a heavy accent. The spring roll was fresh... fresh out of the refrigerator! It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good. The Pho was kind of watery. Not much flavor in the broth, and the meat was just okay. If you want good Pho, try Pho Vi or Noodle Dynasty in Lacey. If you want to support the growth of Hawk's Prairie, and like three-toned citrus walls, eat here! read more

Yum.. some of my viet friends told me about this place, so I stopped by and had my own Pho. Yummy. read more

Just tried pho for the first time recently. Overall it was pretty good. I like how they give you so much food even when you order the small sized option. The service is fine and they are friendly here. I'll definitely come back here. Editing my review to add that I came back a 2nd time and although the service was a little slow, the Vietnamese sandwich was so good! I would definitely come back here for the sandwiches. It was also only $5 and it's definitely a good size. read more

pho mania is awesome. They have a diverse selection of Asian food and of course great pho. The staff was very friendly and served us quickly. I will gladly be back again as I live in the neighborhood. read more

This is by far one of my favorite resturants. The restaurant is always clean and the food is delicious. No matter what I order it has been good. A lot of pho is based on the broth and they have wonderful even broth. It's not to heavy in flavors and not bland. They are quick, inexpensive, and always courteous. Great family resturant! read more

My husband and I went here when we first moved to Lacey/ Washington, Definitely not authentic. We were looking for good Vietnamese place/ food and thought this was one but it failed us. Theres no Vietnamese work there. The food and service wasn't good. read more

After many, MANY trips back this place really does have their bowl of noodles spot on. Their slices of meat are clean and not fatty. The spring role is a little oversized yet still delicious. read more

Thankfully there it's a place that makes pho the right way. They roast the spices and cook the broth properly. It's not out of a can it's not instant it's the real thing and you can tell. The staff is delightful and the service is excellent. It is by far the best pho in this area and I am grateful for the work that they do making real pho. FIVE BIG STARS. read more

After trying multiple places in the Olympia/Lacey area, this is by far my favorite place to get pho. The prices are great, the service is always fast and friendly, and, of course, the pho is amazing. I come here at least once a week and the quality is consistently top notch! I will continue coming here and will continue suggesting this place to my friends. read more

Great service and very decent authentic food. Want to say thank you the lady running this - the lunch experience was awesome and it made my day! Food we ordered: Bahn mi sandwich, teriyaki pork over rice, meatball pho, and two delicious French coffee!!! read more

Table unclean and service is too slow. Blender not muffled making annoying noises. I ordered the Pho. Complement to the chef for make small meat portion goes a long way with fine thin slices. Waiting for the check took an eternity. First and last. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Great quality ingredients-- fresh, lean chicken and a good serving of delicious veggies. Their broth is legit. I love this place. Highly recommend. read more

The spring rolls were definitely not fresh. The shrimp looked old and the roll was mostly shredded lettuce. My pho was decent. The broth was good but other then that the chicken was terrible. It tasted like it had been sitting out and had not a lot of flavor. read more

When you are a pho restaurant, pho should be the best thing you serve. Unfortunately the pho broth here was lacking in any discernible flavor. I was jones'ing pho and my go-to pho place ran out of pho! Whaaat? Pho Vy was down the street but closed on Mondays. Ok, Pho Mania was not farther away. I remember coming here years ago under a different owner. All the pho accouterments were available except fish sauce on the table or any table, a big pho joint staple! Broth had no flavor or very watered down which is king to a good pho. The brisket was thin as paper and a fatty brisket type (gu) as opposed to what I ordered (bò chín). It seemed like they probably used a pho based powder like the type they sell in restaurant supply stores as opposed to making it from scratch but hell even adding some chicken bouillon would of given it some flavor. Owner/employee was Korean and not very friendly but oh well, I went for the pho but left leaving a half eaten bowl of water soup. I write these reviews not to blast places but to remind me 6 months from now what I forgot about places I liked or hated. read more

Great place. Good variety of Pho and other Asian dishes. Nice clean restaurant. Their small bowl of Pho is as big as some other restaurants large. We also had the pork Vietnamese sandwich too. On point with the taste and portions. The Bahn Mi sandwich cost us only $4 something too read more

I've had pho all over the area and this is definitely my favorite. Their both is fantastic. I always order vegetable pho with added chicken. The vegetables are fresh and crisp and their chicken is sliced perfectly. My husband orders the Yakisoba with extra beef and absolutely LOVES it. read more

My husband I went there for a night out. I've been craving some Pho and I can never interest any of my relatives to go with me. Luckily, my husband mentioned it and I readily agreed. This place is clean and the staff was very attentive. The food comes in large portions. I ordered the small Pho and it was more like and extra large in my opinion. I ordered the brisket Pho (# 7 on their menu) and the Gyoza. The broth was yummy and perfect for a cold day. The meat was tender and had a nice flavor. It was all delicious and I will go back again. read more

I am not a time traveler, nor have I ever desired to be, but I think there comes a time in everyone's life they wish they could go back to one moment in time and relive, redo, or take back something they did or didn't do if given the chance. For me, that day was today. I am a very seasoned chicken teriyaki consumer and have grown tired of the similar tastes shared between rival restaurants. After being driven to Pho Mania, I expected nothing less than a mediocre plate of chicken teriyaki once again. Boy was I suprised. At first glace the plate was beautiful. Perfectly placed sides kept my food seperate and added a visually appetizing dining experience. After applying my normal toppings and sauces I tried my first bite, and instantly fell in love. The flavor combinations were absolutely perfect and unlike any other teriyaki dish I have ever eaten. The chicken quality was superior, perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. The rice was slightly less sticky than I prefer, but nothing that needed attention. The salad was cold and crisp both to the fork and to the bite and the dressing was exceptional. Each bite was unique and had me wanting more. This meal, this experience, was the moment I wanted to time travel, I wanted to travel back 10 minutes prior to reconsume this master of a dish. I will be coming back for this dish time and time again. Phenomenal is an understatement. read more

The restaurant was very clean and the server was pleasant/friendly. But the pho was only ok to good, but not the best I've had.

Just simply the best in town. Clean fresh and full of flavor. Cant go wrong here. Best chicken served in a pho restaurant in the area.

Not friendly doesn't have the correct time on site. Not even worth trying.. horrible customer service

I've tried quite a few places since moving here and I'm pho-sure that this is the best pho-king place in the Oly/Lacey area. Seriously though, this place is awesome. Food is always fresh, flavorful, consistent and the staff is very attentive and friendly. I'm also amazed with how super clean it is. Can't go wrong at Pho Mania! read more
