Reviews for Pho Friends Restaurant in Lakewood, WA
Visited this spot because I was nearby and the reviews were pretty good. I think it may have been only one person working at the... time I visited. The place is small it?s like 2 handful?s of tables in there and it?s very quiet. Seems like all of the tablesare sticky. I think it?s because of the finish they put on them. Ordered a regular brisket pho and a Mountain Dew sat down andmy pho was out just a few moments later. I have to say the broth is a very basic pho broth. It wasn?t too salty but it wasn?thearty or meaty like you expect it was just hot. The brisket was delicious some of the best brisket I?ve had here in WA. Veggieswere fresh. All the normal sauces and chilli pastes were on the side. The only thing is they were jars like one would have athome. If I used them I would of had to take a spoon and scoop it out. I didn?t like that to much so I didn?t use them. It mayhave taken my pho up a few steps if I had. I didn?t order anything else but I would go back and try this place again. Again thepho is a very basic pho can?t go wrong with that. When I do go back I?ll order more food take more pics and update with myfinal thoughts. Read more
If you're looking for great BBQ beef, this is a place to go. I ordered the crispy noodles with BBQ Beef and everything was... cooked perfectly. The vegetables were cooked well-not soggy or undercooked. Friendly server too. Will be coming back for sure! Read more
We enjoyed the place. Appreciated the honest suggestions/sway away from other options. I was able to add for $3 extra shrimp and... there were 7 total which is very generous. The Mongolian beef was good and had the classic cripsy noodles aswell as a goodheaping of the white rice. Flavor was good too. I had the sizzling steak. Also good but for the price more steak and broccoliand mushrooms would have been nice. which is why I gave them 4 stars. Flavor was definitely there. Cooked properly too. Tarosmoothie with boba and jellies also great and a good price. Place looked clean and waiter was very kind and friendly. Would goagain. Used a Groupon which they honored. Read more
Oh so good! Our second visit and we know we'll be back. Their soup has a great richness and the ingredients are fresh. Portions... are great too. If you're looking for a little heat order the spicy options. Delicious. Read more
I ordered Pho Ga (chicken) and Pho spicy beef brisket to-go for lunch, and only waited 10min. They give you all the ingredients... in one container and broth in another. I like the broth and chicken was shredded white meat. It does need the sauce they send togive it a kick, but if you don't like spicy/hot skip the sauce and jalapeno's. Read more
I'm seeing a lots of good ratings about this place but for mine are definitely not a 5 stars or 4. Maybe mines are online order.... (The delivery service was a 5 ???? but not the Pho'.) First, they putted everything onto one To-Go plate except the broth.Normally the items will be separated. Putting everything together make it difficult to start because how do you eat Pho on aplate when the broth container are full!? Secondly, I asked for rare meats to be set aside and they cook it for me. Third, noSriracha, how you gonna eat Pho with no Sriracha!? Lastly, the broth are substandard. Totally not worth the price.

I ordered delivery from Pho Friends Restaurant while staying at the TownePlace Suites while in Tacoma on business. I have to... say that by far it?s one of the best meals I?ve had during my various business travels! The delivery was through DoorDash andit was super-easy to order and extremely prompt friendly service. I ordered the Pot Stickers and the Chicken Pho. It was allphenomenal. Large portion sizes with lots of extra fresh and tasty ingredients. And an excellent soy dipping sauce as well as asweet ?hot? sauce. If your looking for excellent food with reasonable prices in Tacoma/Lakewood, definitely give them a try. Read more
The garlic wings were not good they used way too much breading. Definitely not the same recipe as it use to be. My sandwich had... hair in it. Other than that it was ok. Won?t eat here again. Read more
