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.

This place is so good! I try and come here once a week for the drive thru pho. Most to go pho isn't good at all but at this place it's made fresh to order and they give you great portions at a great price. In my opinion it's the best pho place around here hands down.

It feels a bit...chaotic inside. Not necessarily in a bad way, there just isn't much polish and you may be helped by a variety of people from all ages. It feels like it's run by a family and everyone is expected to pull their weight. Grandpa may very well top off your water! After trying it a few times, I realized that I think about it much more than I ever anticipated. I have no idea what I order (my fiancé ordered for me and I loved it so he always orders for me here) but everything I've tried has been delicious. It's filling, nutritious, and it's like getting a warm hug on a chilly day. The first place I went after landing in the airport from my honeymoon? Mama's Pho. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

I went here on an early morning right at opening time, I wanted to take some hot pho and spring rolls to scarf them down at home. Well, I stepped inside 10 minutes after opening and the older gentleman immediately gave me a look that my business wasnt wanted. I was the first customer that day clearly, and I felt like I shouldn't have gone in so early? Since I made a drive, I asked for a menu for to-go order and he proceeded to give me menu and go about cleaning the floor. The whole restaurant had the smell of cleaning products plus some old food stench. I asked for pho and tofu spring roll to-go and he asked me if thats it. I said yes and he said ok come back in 10-15 min so I actually had to leave restaurant (I cant remember if I decided to walk back to my car or walk across the street to Hong Kong Market to browse little bit or both because I got a bit anxious by the service I received). Food was mediocre at best. Broth was a bit salty for me, noodle was not soft, Spring Roll was fine. I will not return to this business again solely from the experience I had. I know that this place is much loved, long standing local restaurant with lots of support and I know I cant judge a place from just one visit, but once was enough for me.

Pho King popped up in the Tacoma area and was the perfect mom and pop spot for some Pho and egg rolls. Super casual spot with friendly service and a decent sized menu. We tried the Pho King special which included eye round steak, flank, fatty flank, tendon, meatballs, and tripe. The broth had a depth of flavor and was so delicious. A good variety of meat, but I took off one star for the meatballs which had no flavor and the texture was off putting. We also ordered the shrimp and pork eggrolls which were flavorful and crispy. Dip it in the sauce and it kicks it up a notch. It was a super simple appetizer with no lettuce leaves to wrap it up in. Delicious Thai Tea with Boba was added to wash it all down. Overall, a great start to our vacation.

I could not hear my family over a 4 person table, coz it doubles as a bar upstairs. But its clean, and decorated well. There's just enough seating for people to come have food. BTW, parking is shared w a market, there was barely any parking when I got there. The parking is also a little narrow, especially when people dont park correctly. Service: very good. They were quick and friendly. No complaints. Food: love the food here. I had the quail fried rice thay came with salad and a side of the pho broth. Broth is flavorful, so Im sure the pho is good. The quail was also marinated nicely, with a tomato based fried rice which was not oily, and just the right amount of flavor. We also ordered two orders of spring rolls, which was more than we thought! One order is the one plate of 2 spring rolls cut in half - so four pieces. Pleasant surprise i suppose, more spring rolls!

Perfect spot for Vietnamese street food and late-night cravings, but a nightmare of a parking lot…read more My family was visiting from California last month, and naturally we needed to find somewhere to feed our party of 6 after our Seattle tourist trip. We arrived around 9 PM on a Thursday; I picked this restaurant because we were all craving Vietnamese food, and thankfully La Cà Bar is open late enough that we were still able to spend time eating together over a yummy meal. We sat downstairs since we were there primarily for the food and wanted to actually sit down and eat together. It was pretty empty when we arrived aside from one table, and we were able to seat ourselves wherever we wanted. They close at midnight, so arriving around 9 PM still gave us plenty of time to order, eat, and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed. And then we proceeded to order an unreasonable amount of food. Everything we tried was delicious. The spring rolls were definitely superb (especially when dipped in the sauce), and I highly recommend getting a few for the table because apparently my family and I devoured them ASAP while waiting for our main course. I had to get the Bánh Xèo, because I have absolutely no self-control when I see it on a menu. The crepe was savory, filling, and delicious. Since it was cold that night, I also ordered Bún Bò Huế, because apparently being cold means I need to consume an entire bowl of spicy soup. I personally missed the classic cubes of pork blood that I usually expect in Bún Bò Huế, but it was still flavorful and satisfying without them. I also noticed the food here leans more toward Northern Vietnamese-style cuisine, but everything we had was still really tasty. I somehow managed to finish most of my food despite ordering enough to feed a second family. My family enjoyed their meals too. My son got a bánh mì without the garnish and was impressed by how huge and satisfying it was. Teenagers can be difficult to impress, so when the teenager says the bánh mì is huge and good, I listen. Our server was also really nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Now, parking... Oh, sweet Jesus. The parking lot is TIGHT. The surrounding streets aren't particularly spacious either. If you have an SUV like myself, or anything larger, prepare yourself. I was genuinely relieved when I got back into my car and discovered that my vehicle had survived the evening without acquiring any new battle scars. But honestly? Worth it. The best part for me was how nostalgic the food felt. Vietnam is the country where I was born, so getting to sit down with my family and eat Vietnamese street food that reminded me of home was really special. We live far from where I grew up, so finding food that brings back even a little bit of that familiarity means a lot. And after moving away, I really appreciate those little moments where a meal can transport you somewhere for a couple of hours. So yes, 5 stars. Great late-night option, delicious food, friendly service, generous portions, and a menu that scratched the Vietnamese food itch perfectly.

I ordered to go on the phone and was told how long it'll take. I had it time before heading over hoping my order would be ready. I really wanted to like it based off of other reviews, however was disappointed. The Pho size is just one size which was about a medium. That is ok. However, the amount of meat given in my opinion is that of a small. I brought my food home and it was barely warm. My destination was not far away. My order wasn't ready when I arrived so waited on my it. My assumption would be since I was at the restaurant when it was being made and my destination is less than 2 minutes away, it should've been hot still. I had to warm the broth for about 4 minutes to get hot again. That's fine, a bit inconvenient but I can do that. The meat was a small portion than I would expect. The taste did have flavor but not my top, personally. Where the disappointment came in more was the freshness of things. The bag of bean sprouts and jalapeños is pre-packaged but it was bad. I know that the employees should've noticed this because they opened it to put the fresh cut lime in it. The color was browning which doesn't always indicate bad, but there was a smell to it and it was slimy and sticky inside. Pho without bean sprouts, jalapeño, and lime can be ok but that is what makes it better. Additionally, everything I ordered too quite a bit of time to make considering I was the only customer and the only order they were working on. I called ahead of time but still waited. A couple of drinks and the Pho was about 15 minutes more after arriving.
