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.

Chicken Pho

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.

I recently met up with a friend from high school here for lunch, and this visit was extra special…read morebecause we hadn't seen each other since we were about 17! 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. But for a girls' lunch or catching up with a friend? Absolutely! Great little find, and I will definitely be back for those drunken noodles and that amazing fried basil!

The service was definitely the highlight of my experience. The husband-and-wife owners were…read moreincredibly kind and welcoming throughout my meal. 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 pork belly was very crispy(an additional fee), but too salty for my taste. The Pad Thai was good, although not the best I've had. 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.

We ordered pineapple fried rice, pad thai and garlic pepper prawns. White or brown rice was complimentary. We ordered it at a number of 2 level and it was spicy and onolicious! The servers were kind and attentive. Our waters were always filled. All of our dishes were very good and the service was great. Would definitely go back to try their extensive menu.

There was a it of a rocky start because they gave our table to another party, which was smaller, so we all were bunched together at the front of the restaurant, which has a tight entry. It was intended for the party of 8. So we didn't have much elbow room to eat. I ordered the golden duck and my partner had basil rice with beef. My best friend ordered a lemon curry chicken that was so good I almost switched our plates. I actually really loved my food too. My partner enjoyed the rice but not the beef. I also had the crab wontons which were super yummy. Everyone pretty much loved what they ordered. They raved about the Thai tea. It truly would have been a five star experience had we been more comfortable. Also, they kind of just forgot about us after they dropped off our main courses. We sat so long without being checked on that none of wanted dessert anymore when quite a few of us were going to order some at first. I'd loved to try it more intimately with less people as they could have maybe just been overwhelmed. Other notes: Not overpriced. Parking wasn't exactly a breeze but I also didn't mind having to walk a bit. It's downtown so it was expected. Very busy, so maybe make a reservation or call ahead? There was outside seating. Bathrooms are not gender neutral. We visited on a Saturday. Happy eating !

One difference with their Bun Bo Hue is they don't add pork blood cake in their version, which is a minor "ding" in my preference. The Pho here is also very good. Like the Bun Bo Hue, the stock they use (stock is much better than just plain broth that many other restaurants use) is rich, favorable, with just the right amount of fat. The spicy / heat level is rather mild, but there are chili oil, chili flakes and Sriracha at each table, so you can add more heat if you want. Unlike many other restaurants, they also bring out little containers of pickled sliced garlic and pickled hot peppers ... the sliced garlic is a great addition to any dish. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is very clean, well lit, and there is plenty of parking. The prices on the menu are more than reasonable when compared to comparable restaurants in the region ... less expensive than most others. The bonus for me was the cream puff that came with the meal. I have not seen that happen for at least 15 years ... it use to be a common occurance whenever you ordered Pho or Bun Bo Hue. All in all, this is now in my top three Pho restaurants.
