Their food is good and love to recommend the place. My son picked up 2 boobas not realizing one was capped with plastic, one sealed like the usual. I appreciate the offer to bring it back after expressing my concern, dislike wasting gas and the kid is considerate enough. read more

Update: As you can see this used to be my go to place as a matter of fact, it used to be five stars in my opinion and I compared to replace to it however, they've gone downhill drastically. I don't know what's happened, but the last three visits have not been good as a matter fact I just tried to order takeout and it was a cluster. The guy doesn't even know what's on the menu and if you try to ask him for help to clarify things he's clueless. I got so frustrated and ended up just hanging up. I guess it's time to find a new place. If this used to be your go to, you might want to reconsider their quality has gone down drastically. The spring rolls are now hard that's been consistently our issue the last three times and the food is no longer fresh. Consistency! I can't give 5 stars for this reason. I get the usual Pho soup with tripe. Some times I will grab the spring rolls. And we have had the Katsu there as well. All of these we have had Delicious spot on amazing and all of these we have had lack luster ew. It's hit or miss and that is the problem. They use to be very consisten but it seems like at times the spring rolls are old, or the katsu is tough. The PHO soup is pretty consistently good, but there have been a few times the broth was a bit off but that can happen. Give it a try! It has been more good meals than bad hence the 4 stars! Give them a go! read more

I thought the food was good but as me and my family were eating waiting for something there were two roaches on our table. I let the waiter know and she told her boss they both thought I was lying and started talking shit. It was so gross! Please don't eat here. Very unprofessional Not sanitary Place needs to be shut down and food inspectors need to be called. read more

I come here with Erica when we are hanging out late because we work night shifts. This restaurant closes until 0400, which I appreciate so much because hits different when you are drinking and looking for a warm meal. Servings are filling. Prices are okay. Tastes fine with not much of a stand-out from other places that serve same or similar dishes. Have to order at the cashier located in back of restaurant. Plenty of parking, but a few homeless people walking around the area and looking into your cars. Just store valuables and belongings in your trunk with covered sheets. Very dim lighting at this restaurant that you have to lock in when you read the menu. But, many tables and booths to house a lot of customers and there is not a reason to rush because there is no waiting line. Staff does their best to cater to customers, but may mix up orders or forget to refill water. They tend to scan the room, but you need to call them over to get them to you because they will not initiate with check-ins. Recommend that you come here if you want to stay at a restaurant for a long time at a very late time read more

It was late and felt like to have some pho. But most places were closed. So I came to Pho Tai in Lakewood. I had the raw beef and brisket pho and the appetizer spring roll (Vietnamese) and fried gyoza. The bill came to about $28. The spring rolls and gyoza were ok, pretty typical. The pho's stock was ok and the pho was decent. The beef wasn't bad. All in all it was ok. I guess that I just had to pay a bit more for the convenience of having pho at late night. read more

What an amazing place! Great food and a huge menu. They is something for everyone. Including a nice kids menu. What's really fantastic is that they are open until 4:00 AM. That makes it a very popular place. I have to warn you that in the wee hours of the morning like 2:00 AM this place is booming. read more

Great for a late night pho craving. I really enjoyed the pho itself a lot more than the fried rolls. Although they were decently sized, they were a little too crispy and the sauce was lacking flavor. The service was also very welcoming and accommodating even though the restaurant was packed at 2am. read more

Food is awful, I got a chicken teriyaki meal. The chicken is dry and couldn't even poke it with a plastic fork. Rice was dry. Egg roll was huge and not cooked all the way. The price online showed $5 cheaper on every dish, once you show up they charge almost $20 a dish. Dingy and poor cleanliness as well as poor customer service. Never going back again. read more

Pho Tai - Love going out to this place dressed up ready for some Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

WOW! All I can say is that I would never have come in here if I didn't get a good recommendation from a co-worker. First of all, I have to say on first glance the interior was nice and the hostess(?) that greeted me from the back of the restaurant was nice. I was seated and handed a menu. Now, this is basically a Vietnamese Pho place but I did look at them on Google before I came and it looked like they had more options. I'm a fried rice fiend and I saw they had a yellow curry fried rice w/ chicken, so I ordered that to go. I walked about 2 blocks back to my work and was super hungry. I sat down in my lunch room and open the container. The food at first smelled good (maybe bc I was hungry) but it was super oily and had more corn, peas and green beans(?) than grains of rice. Needless to say I started eating my way through the vegetables only to hit an oily mess. My stomach was not the same the rest of the day. WORST any fried rice I have EVER had! (sorry, hindsight I would have taken pics) read more

Honestly, I stop here often for late night boba which is mid at best. Tonight I got food with a friend. It wasn't anything I expected. I asked for chopsticks and employee left so I got my own haha. The food. My friend ordered red curry, that isn't red curry, Idek what it is. I ordered beef broccoli, it came with no flavor or sauce on it. It was basically marinated beef strips and some slightly steamed veggies. Spring rolls were dry and used shredded ice beef lettuce and peanut sauce lacked flavor and was really runny. I probably will stick to my last resort 3 am boba now and never come back. Ps. The Thai tea is really good. Also the place is awkward. It could be nice but half are used as storage. read more

Pho Tai is not my preferred place to get pho when in the Tacoma area, no matter which Pho Tai location I go to. Given the fact that it was 2AM, it was reasonably busy, but the service was still pretty quick. The food was okay, nothing special. I think I just don't prefer the broth or the food here is all. read more

4/27/2021 8:30pm SERVICE: Service sucks when we went there for dinner We have to ask for things we needed, like napkins and extra lil plates They didn't check back with us to refill our water and hot tea We paid for strawberry lemonade that they forgot to bring They were understaffed Only two people working up front They both serve and cashier FOOD? Meh, had better in other PT Ordered Pad Thai did not look or taste like the normal. Look like a stirred fried with some noodles, a little hint of the pad Thai taste. Everything else we ordered were ok SOCIAL DISTANCING: Forget it, they are too busy to monitor who's coming in or going out. Too many people were in there at one time. Everyone just sit yourself wherever you want . They sat a huge party close to our table. However, they do have some table that are closed off but it's still too close to each other Hope this helps‼ Happy yelping‼ read more

Stopped in for a bowl of pho this cold morning. Immediately greeted by server and seated. Drink order taken. We ordered pho ga and pho Tai. I got the medium bowl and my partner the large. We also ordered a spring roll to share. They were large! The peanut sauce was excellent. Our bowls were served piping hot, just like we expect. We requested extra toppings and were immediately supplied with another plate. We took half our bowls with us. The food was very good. Service good. Price with tip $32. read more

Pho Tai - Red CF6. Curry Fried Rice with Tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Went here earlier this afternoon, both me and my boyfriends chicken on our T3 & T10 was dry. I sent my food back and the when they gave me another plate, my food was still dry as if they just gave me the same food back! It took them about 10 minutes to come back to our table so I could tell them, whenever I would make eye contact with the server she would just look away. We will not be returning here, terrible experience for us. Also on the table next to us with all of the staffs belongings there were vapes just hanging out on the table, very unprofessional! read more

Very clean!! Food was good, been here a few times and seems to be pretty consistent. Service has always been great!

Ordered from here via Uber Eats last night- 2 spicy pork banh mi, side of fried gyoza and two bubble tea with boba. The first thing I noticed was on Uber eats there's no list of flavors for bubble tea and this was my first time ordering so I was a bit confused. Thankfully they called and asked what flavors I wanted. The sandwiches were large and tasty. I have had many different banh me sandwiches and while this was tasty, it wasn't very light/fresh like they usually are. I was looking for the cilantro and jalapeño slices. There was a little cabbage, carrot and cucumber but it was under the hot meat so it got kind of wilted and oily. I liked the amount of meat they had in the sandwich but it was very saucy and heavy. Not what I normally see or expect with a banh mi. The gyoza were fine but the sauce was no good- which is surprising. I thought the sauce for that was pretty standard. The bubble teas were delish. We got strawberry and mango and each had the corresponding flavor of boba. Overall the food was decent, but It doesn't taste authentic like actual Vietnamese people would enjoy or eat here. I probably won't order again. read more

Best Pho in Town my always to go Place for a hot delicious Pho. I have no problem with their service also, great place and great service.

I normally don't rate restaurants 5 stars unless I absolutely find nothing wrong with the dish or meal. Today, Pho Tai gets a solid 5 stars for their beef stew Pho. The flavor was absolutely delicious. Normally, I have to add all kinds seasonings and still feel underwhelmed. This is made in store daily. These is plenty of beef and carrots. You can also pick rice instead of noodles. You also can pick bahnmi. This is a perfect stew!!! read more
