I had not noticed TC Vietnamese on Yelp prior to today. Tom waited on us soon to arrive or two nice sized balls of steaming hot PHO. It was absolutely delicious and the vegetables were fresh. We had basil, fresh bean sprouts with no flaws. (Brownish bean sprouts are the worst) the ambience was quiet but very comfortable. I will be back time and time again because, as a tie chef, I love this place and I love the food. read more

Very small menu but the pho was great. I wish there were more protein options, sides/apps, and bahn mi, but their focus is the pho. Friendly staff, quick service, and perfect on a cold rainy night. read more

Large portions, quick service, and taste great. Recommend the house special pho and the pork egg rolls read more

TC Vietnamese - House Special Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

Loved this place! Was so surprised by how good it was. Randomly found it online when looking for a place near the airport once we flew into Traverse City. Loved the top choice pho they had (forget the name but it was their most expensive at $25) and the crispy pork spring rolls. The meat in the pho was some of the best I have ever had. Highly recommend both and would definitely return next time we are in the area! Tip: If you can pay with cash, that will avoid the 3% credit card fee. read more

I have been coming here for a couple years now and the food and service are consistently great. The portion sizes are good with a reasonable price tag to match. The staff is friendly and the ambiance while simple is very inviting as well as what you typically expect from a pho house. read more

The pho is delicious! I've tried both the plain and the vegetarian, and my husband has had the chicken both times.

Was excited to find Vietnamese restaurant so close to our hotel. The food was excellent, just on the pricey and smaller side. Service was quick and restaurant was clean - would recommend if you're craving Vietnamese food. read more

It's not quite a 5 but I'm giving them one based on the area.... This restaurant falls into the fast casual category which works for me! My food was flavorful, the prices fair, close/free parking, clean inside and they have a cute interior! To break it down--food wise I ordered their Vietnamese Summer Rolls (nice size) and the dipping sauce was good albeit peanut sauce heavy, (fine with). Their bun #10 was good and a nice amount of pork too. Minor negatives--limited menu (probably works for the area tho) and they charge extra if you use your credit card, I'm not a fan of that practice! I understand the reasoning but I still don't love it. There is one small sign at the register stating that, and from where I was standing I didn't see it! After I brought that to her attention she refunded the difference which was nice! I would go back and try their pho the next time. read more

Only place "up north" serving Bahn MI sandwiches. Pretty good. Summer rolls were good.

The food is really very good there. The service is good. The atmosphere is great. Will definitely come back.

Simple clean setting. The food was great! I had the pork bun bowl which was yummy and filling. The sauce that you pour in the bowl moistened the noodles and gave it a wonderful taste. The people who work there are nice and helpful too. I saw they did a lot of take out orders. read more

TC Vietnamese - Pork bun bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

Up here for work. I'm Viet so it's only right I try this place. It's literally just alright, if you are used to Viet cuisine. Summer rolls: $6. NO PORK. Just shrimp, lettuce, & noodles. No thanks. I literally just ended up ripping out the halfed shrimp & ate it. The peanut sauce is good tho Bun bowl: $18 with meat, $16 without. No bean sprouts, very little cucumber. Meat was alright. Eggrolls were crispy, but the flavor of filling inside was a little bland for me. Had to get an extra fish sauce for it to be enough. Btw... the pho dac biet is $25!!!!!!!! JEZIS ???? 3% charge on card transactions... as if you're not already over-priced. If ur visiting from down state & used to traditional viet food from que Huong, little Saigon, pho crab restaurant...you'll be bummed. I get that it's TC & rare viet population.... But for the prices to the lack of full ingredients & flavors is a no for me. Very decent. I can hold my craving to go back home & eat in Warren. I tried it, didn't love it, but you might!!! read more

Excellent Vietnamese food! Ok, our perspective might have been skewed after eating the disappointing Good Bowl the night before. It is solid Vietnamese food. TC has a very limited menu - 1 page with 16 items plus a few beverages. The prices are affordable, the portions are generous and the food is tasty. We ordered to go: #4 pho dac biet = house combination pho $19 # 8 pho cho tre em = kid pho beef noodle soup $10 #10 bun heo nuong & cha gio = grilled pork meat with eggroll vermicelli bowl $16 #11 goi cuon = Vietnamese summer rolls (2) with shrimp $6 #15 tom nuong = grilled shrimp rice $16 boba milk tea The rare steak was rare, the brisket was ok, the summer rolls and the grilled pork were good. The broth for the 2 pho soups was delicious and were packaged separately as they should be. We had a proper size helping of pho rice noodles, vermicelli and rice. The herbs, vegetables and salad were fresh. We were happy with full bellies and would definitely return. read more

Craving Pho? Vermicelli bowl? Thai tea? Boba milk tea! This is the place to satisfy it all! Great service, very clean all in a cool industrial chic setting. Simple menu, which we loved, offering the basics. But so we'll prepared, we gushed as we each tasted first our beverages and then again when we got our food. Fresh, beautiful and perfectly prepared. It was all so delicious. Our only issue is that they are located across town! Really, really good. There is another restaurant in town that offers Pho, and while theirs was amazing once upon a time, it hasn't made us happy in a while. So this is our new go to for Vietnamese!!! read more

This is the best Vietnamese in Traverse. If you want to go for good drinks and ambiance go to The good Bowl. If you want good food, go to TC Vietnamese! read more

My review is based entirely on Chicken Pho to go. In fairness I haven't tried anything else on the menu but since their name is T.C. Pho it should be their signature dish. I love Pho and have enjoyed it in multiple states and countries. Their Pho is a pretty fair representation. They provide a good variety of chicken, Thai basil, onions, noodles, jalapeños, etc.. My complaint is that they short you on the broth! They consistently only provide about 20 ounces in a quart container. I always need to order a small additional container of broth to get to the usual quart that every other Pho restaurant I've gone to provides. I understand and emphasize with the challenges and costs involved in operating a specialty restaurant anywhere, let alone northern Michigan. So I will accept that they probably have a valid reason. Difficult to understand that having to inventory and provide a separate different sized plastic container and another plastic bag, is cost effective for them. As I mentioned, I've been ordering Pho to go for over 20 years and always received a quart of the broth, so this is far from the norm. just hope that they realize that it can be off putting. True Pho lovers will be less bothered by charging a profitable price even if slightly higher than by inconveniencing them into needing a second container to get to the norm. read more

Nicely done on Vietnamese classics! Stongly recommend! Wonderful rolls & Pho! xoxoxoxo read more

Swung by TC Vietnamese Pho & Boba today. Got their Bánh mì and a Peach Cream Boba Smoothie - hit the spot, so good! They've got more stuff like pho, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes, and some tasty apps.Totally worth it! read more

I wanted to love this. I was so excited there was finally a Vietnamese place in TC, and right next to my favorite nail place to boot.) I eat Vietnamese at least once a week normally and miss it when I am here in TC This food though, it was bad. And they messed up a really simple order three times (1 summer roll, 1 shrimp with vermicelli, 1 pork with vermicelli.). The wrapper on the summer roll was thick and super chewy which was sort of gross. The shrimp and pork were edible but had no flavors I associate with Vietnamese food. I got a boba milk tea and threw it out. The boba was disgusting. It was tough and dry. Again, boba tea is part of my regular diet, I would have said it is something that is good even when it is bad, but not here, here it is just bad. read more

We went in on a super busy Saturday and ordered boba to go. We patiently waited and were treated with the best boba in town! Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in here because of the reviews. I had the vermicelli with eggrolls. It was delicious. I had to add chili paste to accommodate my Texas taste for spice but really good vermicelli. read more

This restaurant is pretty good. It was clean and the staff were very friendly. The menu is simple but has my favorites: pho and vermicelli bowls. They also have a variety of boba drinks. I only tried the egg roll vermicelli bowl and an iced Thai tea. I was very pleased with both and I appreciate them having all the condiments and utensils on the table for easy access. I thought it was a little pricey but I understand, granted the location. read more

TC Vietnamese - Egg Roll Vermicelli Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

Yummy flavor on the pho and dumplings! My drink was also good, but they put the wrong topping in. I also had an issue with the service handing us the wrong order and not taking it back, but we eventually figured it out when the other server came. A little confusing of it is a place to order at the counter or if they come to you. Overall, would return for the food, but just be ready to have a bit of patience! Also if you don't like spice, be wary of the jalapeños in the bánh mì. read more

Good food and service in a very relaxed, family style atmosphere at a reasonable cost.

The pho was acceptable, but the broth was a tad on the plain side and lukewarm. The grilled shrimp rice was good. The Vietnamese summer rolls and crispy fried egg rolls and sauces were decent. Perhaps it's passable for the northern lower peninsula, but lacking in comparison to the Madison Heights area. The service was exceptional. The location probably contributes heavily to the high side pricing; I imagine the rent must be exorbitant. read more

Amazing dinner tonight! The pho was flavorful, delicious, and warmed us right up. We were greeted, sat, and received our food quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Probably the second best pho I have had. Accompaniments super fresh & the broth was very good. We both had rare beef & Thai iced tea. We will be back! read more

Excellent pho and food. Excellent location. Ig is hard to find good Asian around this area. Found this one is refreshing.

For a better than good bowl of Pho, dare I say Great Bowl of Pho this is the place to go. The broth is supremely nuanced with flavors and the add ins of fresh basil, bean sprouts and lime make it just perfect. Vegetable Pho and one of the meat topped rice bowls make a fantastic lunch to share with a friend. I personally love the Thai tea, which I thought would be like Chai tea but is different and tastier. Service is quick and prices very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. I could go on, but I think you see why I gave them 5 stars. read more

I've tried the egg roll vermicelli, pork pho and taro tornado boba. All amazing! The staff is so friendly. I have never been disappointed. This is one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Slightly better than the good bowl but far from authentic. The Bun thit noung with cha gio is suppose to be cold with the warm meat and much more veggies and fresh herbs. My husband loves this dish and was very disappointed with it here. The pho broth was good but no tendons, tripe, etc that usually is in pho dac biet... ... cut the beef balls correctly. Not meant to bee meatball size. Not much variety for a Vietnamese restaurant. Adequate but nothing special. read more

Great for a fast lunch, food was simple but tasty, service was very prompt and helpful, and the place was clean and well kept.

Yummy vietnamese food. Tastes authentic and fresh. Service is good and fast also. One of the best Pho broths i've had around michigan

Excellent pho! The summer spring rolls were also fantastic. The dipping sauce was savory and the vegetables where crispy. The iced tea was refreshing and the service was quick! read more

I love Vietnamese food (from Albany, NY), and my taste buds are very happy with this local place on the east side of Traverse City, MI, just past Munson Community Health Center on Munson Avenue. The grilled sliced pork with rice and extra sauce was delicious--delicate flavors, enough for two for dinner (at $20)! I cooked up some broccoli for a nice veg. We also had the fried dumplings, which were very good. Lots of choices for pho as well. Pleasant, clean, easy access for parking. read more

Expensive and they charge 3% credit fee. I would not recommend this place. The food was decent but nothing special

I LOVE the food and service at this restaurant! Favorite dish is the filet mignon pho, hands down. It's so satisfying. I prefer to eat it in-house but I grabbed a few orders for take-out and my family at the dish for THREE separate meals. So much bang for your buck. So healthy and satisfying. Also, the service is just the best! Everyone on staff is so kind and observant. One of the women even walked my take-out to my vehicle for me!! So incredibly helpful. I'll be back again. read more

Saturday evening 7:30. We order to-go at the restaurant due to phone issues. It was very busy with many guest that wanted to order at tables and a line that wanted to order to pick up. To say the least they were busy but preformed in a fast calmly matter. We ordered the vermicelli along with a few other items. Let's be honest, to have that dish it's best to have it prepared there and eat it there. They did an amazing job with their Togo service and packaging. My only hope they they could work on is the phone issue. Thank you! read more

Their vegetable pho with tofu and vegetables is so good, and their service is always fast.
