I ordered the seafood pho and the brisket and meatball pho, cost me $30. Noticed The seafood did not smell well at all when I got into my car but when I got home and opened my brisket and meatball pho there was a baby roach in my food and my husband said the seafood tasted rotten. We had to throw both soups away.

It’s a decent mom and pop shop but unfortunately left a lot to be desired. I love trying small places like this and hate giving less than awesome reviews, but it just isn’t somewhere I’d go back to. The lady who took our order seemed nice enough, albeit a little hard to understand due to her accent but that isn’t a negative in my book. The restaurant itself could use a little organization and cleaning up, again, not really a big negative to me, however I will say if you have those things present then the food has to be phenomenal and there had to be a lot of it. I paid $36 for 2 entrees and asked (and paid) for extra meat, I even tipped 5 dollars on a takeout order BEFORE the food was cooked. Now the order was tasty, no complaint there, the issue is that my meal was on the small side. So, there’s nothing really worth going back for, not the best value and I feel other places provide more bang for your buck and value you as a customer more. Kind of disappointed, really wish I could say more positive things but why pay 36 dollars for takeout and not get something worth it?

Chicken wings are very very salty….. the batter is very chalky although crispy. Crispy tofu was not crispy partially due to the fact we had a to go order. Problem is the outside of the crispy fried tofu had a powdery slime as if not completely fried

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.

They used to be so good. I ordered twice from Uber Eats recently and they got my order wrong BOTH TIMES. And what food I did get to try, was not nearly as good as they were 1-2 years ago. Want Pho? Want wings? Go across the street to Pho Viet Thai. The food is better, and they got the big beef rib pho over there. It’s delicious. I won’t be ordering from Pho Friends anymore. There are restaurants with way better food within walking distance. Not worth.

I’m Vietnamese. I accidental order from here rather than my usual pho place. Thought to give this a try. Worse Vietnamese food. For rice and pork chop, it’s hard to go wrong. Their pork chop was horrible. Will not return.

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.

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 tables are sticky. I think it’s because of the finish they put on them. Ordered a regular brisket pho and a Mountain Dew sat down and my 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’t hearty or meaty like you expect it was just hot. The brisket was delicious some of the best brisket I’ve had here in WA. Veggies were fresh. All the normal sauces and chilli pastes were on the side. The only thing is they were jars like one would have at home. 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 may have 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 the pho is a very basic pho can’t go wrong with that.

Fantastic Pho place! Peter, our server, was great! The food here is phenomenal and the atmosphere was comfortable. Their vegetable pho was great. And a big plus for all in my dining party, we LOVE that they serve their water in bottles!

I ordered delivery from Pho Friends Restaurant while staying at the TownePlace Suites while in Tacoma on business.
