Their pho is great. Haven’t tried much else from them, but I definitely don’t recommend their pork shrimp noodle salad. The pork taste like it had gone bad, did not eat that, everything else left was just mediocre.

The new worker guy wouldn’t add celantro to my spring rolls when my husband asked him to go light on the cinnamon in his curry he just looked at him and we come here all the time and are Accommodated when we ask for less cinnamon…and when he brought my bubble tea there was no bubbles in it he told me thay were out so I told him I didn’t want it and he took it and went in the back and brought me one with bubbles in it he just lied I’m confused this is my husband’s favorite place why lie this is a great place to eat but he need to accommodate the customers

Really nice inside! Plenty of seating and friendly staff. That menu though! Woah!! Way too much. I didn’t come here for a novel. It was extremely overwhelming to order off of. And almost everything had a picture. They listed entrees with every possible side like they were entirely separate dishes??? No wonder that menu is so big!My bubble tea was really good! But it was mostly tapioca which some people might like but I did not. My chicken katsu was served as two slabs of uncut chicken fillet and I was not given a knife… so I just tore it apart with my fingers and a fork. The food was very mediocre and didn’t exactly seem fresh.Seemed pretty overpriced for the quality of food honestly.

My husband and I loved this place. It actually just may be the best Pho I’ve had in my life. Thank you! Delicious!!

Wanted pho for breakfast and was able to satisfy my craving at 9am. Super delicious broth and portion controlled. The meatballs were a little peppery tasting but good. Bean sprouts and Thai basil were fresh and not whilted. I also tried the coconut juice that came in a bubble tea cup (which gave it a nice touch). To my surprise they had healthy options for a habitual pho eater like myself. I look forward to going back to try the zucchini noodles and the plethora of healthy options they offer. Would recommend.!

always have good food and good service

A great place to eat Asian foods, especially phò. Plenty of seatings in this large but clean place with nice decoration. There are many good dishes to choose from the menu, from Vietnamese to Thai foods. Pho is always good here, but other foods are ok. I've tried the curry and Vietnam noodles and they're nothing to brag about. Another bonus also... they open until 2 am which is great if you just left a late night party or can't sleep and hungry in the middle of the night.

Food was decent but the service needs help. There was 2 servers on and 5 tables sat with maybe 15 people tops. So not busy at all. Server took I order I asked him a few questions about what was good he barely mentioned anyting maybe one dish but the worst part was once our food came he never came back I wanted to order some more stuff never was around finally waving them down he comes by I order some stuff and half of it didn't even come out he never came back around so I can remind them got that taken off won't be back

I stopped here for quick bite. The beef pho was delicious. The Vietnamese coffee so good. It’s must try whenever y’all in Lakewood.

Pho Tai Lakewood, Lakewood WA9am to 4am dailyIf you're looking for some midnight eats, then tucked into a nondescript strip mall along Tacoma’s South Tacoma Way, you will find the late night Pho Tai, as in late night being open daily (well nightly) until 4:00am.  Upfront, don’t expect anything fancy, but the place is fairly large and can seat quite a number of people in both booths and standard table configurations. Take out is a big thing here, but with the relaxing of many Covid restrictions indoor dining is also now available.  Upon being seated you are presented with what I would consider a very extensive if not overwhelming (for a first time visitor) array of offerings. Pretty much a plethora of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese a la Asian dishes, all with full color images encased within a childproof high laminate menu. The images alone are pretty eye popping from the Bubble Tea, Milk Tea, bobas and etc. to the many assortments and combinations, from the 15 or so types of  Pho (with a special section for ‘beginners’), to Vietnamese Sandwiches (Bánh mì), Teriyaki, Salad bowls and the familiar traditional Thai options.  This visit (around midnight) we had the Fresh Rolls which where basic but refreshing with a Thai peanut sauce, a Pho dish featuring raw beef and meatball, along with what could be called a breakfast Bánh mì with Vietnamese ham and greens served on a crisp baguette and topped with an over easy fried egg.  In addition to this midnight feast we downed a super creamy and delicious chocolate/coffee (mocha) shake along with a Banana flavored milk tea with Strawberry bursting Bobas. Yes, a weird combo, but it was midnight. Pho Tai Lakewood is a great stop for late night and no doubt anytime during their opening hours of 9am-4am daily. Prices are very reasonable with a pretty decent value for monies paid. Dine in or takeout, but be forewarned the menu is somewhat overwhelming at first sight.
