    Hot & Spicy Pho #2, 3. Well Done Beef Brisket Pho, Crab Wontons, Thai Iced Tea

    The food and Thai tea with boba were absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back!

    "Hot & Spicy" Phò
    Luis F.

    This Hot and Spicy Pho is the most flavorful and delicious I've ever tasted in my life. The quality of the food here is absolutely top notch. Fresh, clean, tasty, great portions, great experience. This place is extremely superior to any of the other Pho places I've tried around the Lakewood-Tacoma area. It was SO GOOD it was hard to believe as I ate it. Needless to say there wasn't a scrap or drop left in my plate at the end. If that superb taste and quality of the food wasn't enough, it could only be topped by the ABSOLUTELY FIRST-CLASS SERVICE the owner himself provides to all customers. He will personally make sure your order is up to the highest standards of Vietnamese cuisine excellence; far far beyond the other Pho locations around, and I'm not afraid to reiterate it. If you want an otherworldly Vietnamese food experience, you MUST try this place. Going by my experience with the Pho I can automatically tell everything else will be a 5 star experience as well. However, I insistently recommend this Hot and Spicy Pho, it was a glorious gastronomical experience and certainly the highlight of my day!

    Worst Bahn Mi sandwich I've ever had. And the signs which are on the drive thru, are your f'ing kidding me? I never leave reviews, but this place sucks. Sandwich barely had any chicken on it, the bread was at least a day old, and the whole thing was cold. Should have listened to the vibe and gone elsewhere.

    If i could I'd choose a rating of 3.5. I only ordered take out because I had to grab my food and go. But I appreciated how quickly they prepared my food! It tasted fresh and filling in a refreshing way. Not heavy. I ordered pork and shrimp vermicelli bowl I ordered papaya boba too, but unfortunately I didn't like it. Tasted very plain and fake. But cheers to the quick service and great main dish!

    The most helpful and funny thing I've seen when it came to any restaurant!!

    The gentleman that works here is extremely nice. He told me how long the wait was going to be and asked if I had an issue waiting. It's a restaurant quality establishment with the fast food convenience of a drive thru and no option to eat in. I would definitely go back!!

    Good place with spacious parking. However: Staff did not speak Vietnamese to me at all when I tried in most effort to talk with her in our native language, this caused us customers who are Vietnamese hard to order the dishes we only know in Vietnamese. I never highly appreciate Vietnamese restaurants who waitresses/waiters communicate none of our language while they are selling Vietnamese dishes. I heard that they may know Vietnamese but their bosses demand them not to speak this language to any customers because this is considered unprofessionalism (the most ridiculous thing in the world I've ever heard in Vietnamese community in US) Anyway, that food was bland also not enough to eat and restroom was broken and dirty took them 3 stars from me. Hope these will change better and next customers will give them more stars for me.

    Wow! I just got back from this place and I am soo impressed! The staff was super friendly, service was fast and the food was soooooo delicious! I'm a vegetarian and saw that there was a good amount of vegetarian options and the broth for the Pho they said is veggie based - hooray! I usually tend to get Pho or the Vermicelli dish so I ordered the Vermicelli. There was no vegetarian option so I asked to have the meat taken out and and the fried roll be vegetarian. They were very nice and accommodating. I've gotten Vermicelli bowls at soo many places but this one was the best on I have ever eaten - something about the abundance and assortment of vegetables and sauces. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Pho and Pho Fried Rice and he was amazed. I think next time I will try the Pho and Fried Rice, too. I gave it 4 stars because the interior can use a makeover. I think presentation is very important and having turn seat covers and super old seats and tables really takes away from the overall feel. But, I'm happy I found my go to for Vietnamese in this area.

The deep-fried fish, Szechuan style, was my favorite out of all the dishes. Fried to perfection with the hint of spice on the batter.

Now, prices even higher and quality is crap. I spent $52 on fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, and vegetable foo young the other night. Rice is ok, sweet & sour chicken is nearly all breading with very little chicken. The veggie egg foo used to be the best I'd ever had. Not anymore. Quality veggies have been replaced with 90% cabbage as filler, a few frozen peas and a few frozen carrots. Not only that, but they were round balls and raw inside. They went into the garbage. Have always loved the staff but, sadly, I wont be back.

I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not. There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it. The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!

During my second visit, the hostess went out of her way to try to seat us in the very back of a nearly empty restaurant.. The food was okay. The floor to and in the women's restroom was terribly sticky. Not good. On my third and final visit, again, the hostess passed several empty tables to try to seat us in the back of the restaurant. Plus, our waitress, who took at least 10 minutes to come to our table, could barely understand English. I ordered chicken curry, but she repeated some unrelated combo. I told her "no". Then, I pointed to my desired dish on the menu and repeated my order. Unfortunately, she messed up my simple order, and I received an unwanted shrimp dish. It took three wait staff and about 20 minutes to correct my order. By that time, my boyfriend was about half way through his meal he graciously offered to share. Interestingly and oddly enough, the waitress, who finally brought me my correct order, profusely apologized to my boyfriend with barely a glance my way. What an insult! That night, they lost two customers. Goodbye, Yen Ching.

A LOT of life has happened since then, so we definitely had plenty to catch up on. Neither of us had been to Bloom Thai before, but we both love Thai food, so we decided to give it a try. This place is definitely different from any Thai restaurant I've been to before. It's super small, with only a handful of tables. You order at the counter, grab your number, and find a table. They also have a big jug of cucumber water that was so refreshing! They didn't have my usual yellow chicken curry, so I decided to try something completely different--the drunken noodles. I honestly had no idea what I was ordering, but OH MY GOSH... I was in love with this dish! The flavors were fantastic, and they topped it with deep-fried basil. I'm not even kidding when I say I think I've dreamed about that crispy basil every day since! It was SO good! The food was definitely the star of the show for me, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I think this is such a fun little spot to meet a friend for lunch, especially if you want somewhere casual and different. That said, it is VERY small, so I personally wouldn't choose it for a family dinner with a bunch of picky eaters or rambunctious kids. The menu is also a little different than your typical Thai restaurant, so definitely keep that in mind. For dinner, I'd probably order it to-go and enjoy it at home.

The husband, who was serving, checked in several times to make sure I had everything I needed. The chef also stopped by my table when she came out of the kitchen, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The noodles were cooked well, and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. It did not come spicy, but chili sauce was available to add some heat. The spicy omelette tom yum soup had a great balance of mild spice and sourness, and it tasted very authentic. The texture of the fried omelette after soaking in the soup was not my favorite, but that may come down to personal preference. The Thai iced tea had a good balance of tea and condensed milk, although it was sweeter than I prefer. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table afterward. Water is self-service. They also have a helpful sign explaining the ordering and seating process for first-time guests. The restaurant was very clean, nicely decorated, and had a great ambiance. I especially enjoyed the small area showcasing the chef's history and journey. Overall, the warm service and welcoming atmosphere made the experience memorable.
