Looks like new ownership, they travel from Seattle. They told me they use no MSG. That's a real plus! The spring rolls were good! The tables were clean. Condiments were clean too! Looks the change in ownership has made a significant difference ! Attention yelpers: you gotta try it again! Good was much better. Full of flavor!

Amazing service and excellent food. One of my favorite spot for some flavorful pho. I go here at least 4 times a month.
(5)Amanda M.
My husband dragged me back here and I'm glad I gave them a second chance. The pho is good, although I've had better. It's a good option for something on the hill since options are slim in the area.
(4)Andy W.
I love this place, I was Vietnamese ( and not large white guy) I would hope my Mom cooked like this! Amazing Pho, fantastic spring roles with a crunchy surprise in the middle and delicious hot pots, I can't say enough good stuff about this little family business!
(5)Jeff U.
Best pho that I've found in puyallup. Great prices, vegetables are fresh, great for eat in and take-out. Wait staff is very friendly and happy to help out in any way they can. The pork bahn mi (sandwich) and vegetable pho are amazing! And the sandwiches have WAY more meat than most other places!
(5)Theresa F.
The pho wad really food but the crab Rangoon were overdone abs not great. I'll definitely be back for the other food, though.
(4)Jessica D.
My mom and I came in because I am under the weather and soup sounded really good. We came in, warm friendly service, got an appetizer that came out quick and delicious. We got the fried rolls. Then my mom asked if they had something she gets other places and the girl said they didn't have that she would make an exception. They made her a specialty plate with crispy noodles and it was sooooo good. We will definitely be back. :)
(5)Katherine L.
We searched on yelp and found this place, the food is great! I love the beef noodle soup and the beef sandwich the most!
(5)Richard S.
Food was tasty, but the bbq pork had too many unchewable chunks of gristle rate well in quality. We went after the lunch rush, and were the only customers there.
(3)Heather D.
Second only to Pho in Hoi An Vietnam. I just arrived in WA and was overwhelmed with so many Pho options and thankfully the Yelp reviews steered me here. Excellent fresh ingredients and complementary flavor combos makes for a great Pho experience. Plus a great spin on the fresh spring rolls.
(5)Len M.
Found this place from the reviews of viet restaurants on Yelp. Normally, I don't praise the restaurants I review, but this one is vastly different. Well worth the drive to get here. Let me tell you, this is by far the best S.E. Asian restaurant I have ever encountered anywhere in the U.S. The place is small, clean, neat, well decorated, and the food is so much above the rest of the pack that you can't compare them to anybody. It is that good. I had the Vietnamese Chicken Curry (waitress said it was her mama's recipe). Unlike any curry, Asian or otherwise that I have ever eaten. Mere words cannot tell you how wonderfully good it was. The wife had Brisket Pho, and I couldn't keep her fork out of my curry during the whole meal even though she adores Pho. Had drink, entrée, and spring rolls. Bill was under $30.00. Will absolutely go back again and again.
(5)Ken L.
Two visits: One time to go: Spring rolls. Fresh tasting, plenty of vegetable filling and large. Not bad, so made a second "sit down" visit... Bánh xèo: needs a ton of work. Batter of the crepe contained NO FLAVOR and little crunch. Fish sauce had NO FLAVOR; good fish sauce blend goes a long way for these types of "dip and eat" dishes. Iceberg lettuce used instead of Romaine, that is OK I suppose. I do not recommend this dish. Com Tho Gà Rôti : a decent dish. The barbecued chicken is roasted on top of stone pot rice, accompanied by pickled vegetables (mainly carrot slices) and special fish sauce. Chicken not too dry and with overall good flavor.
(3)kristina s.
Good food for the price. Creative menu. Easy takeout options. I appreciate the work the counter guy does. .tales orders. .delivers and does all the bussing. Amazing
(4)Claudia C.
A small family pho shop that just does it right. The presentation of the small egg rolls was well done and the flavors of it was great. Crispy with some soft noodles inside. It was great. I particularly loved the carrots that were a garnish on this dish but also in the bahn mi sandwich. The carrots were pickled in something delicious. Could eat just then as a snack The pho was the best I've had. The broth specifically was full of flavor. Salty and sweet. I would go bak just for a bowl of broth. You could defiantly tell that the meat wasn't cheap either. The brisket was a bit try but the beef was perfect. The broth wasn't just a clear chicken broth. It was thickish with a lot of body and flavor. This is only of those places you forget you can have left overs so you try to eat it all. I luckily stopped myself so now I have breakfast for tomorrow. Sooooo good. Very much recommend
(5)Julian W.
Awesome pho, very friendly staff!
(5)Daniel C.
Good food. I have been a big authentic broth guy when it comes to beef noodle soup..they have done a good job not to screw with a good recipe and Americanize it. I understand they are trying to be very friendly, but the young kid,at the front doesn't know when to stop trying to strike up conversation. I was beat from work, I just wanted to sit down, eat some soup and not think. Slow down.... You don't absolutely need to show you care about people.
(4)Mike M.
I just point at something different each time I go have a meal. It's all amazing! However the fresh spring rolls are always a must! Can't go wrong coming from a Pho snob this is the best in a 30 mile radius.
(5)Chunteva S.
I came in somewhat with a cold needing some soup. Staying at my boyfriends place here in Puyallup, there isn't much of a choice for good food, especially pho. This was nearby and had decent reviews so I thought why not! I come in and its not so busy, it's really clean and I was automatically greeted happily by a nice guy~ I ordered quickly pho tai large. As we waited snapped a picture and talked football with them. The game was on too~ I was quickly given my order 5 minutes later, it all was only 8$! I go assemble it at home, I wish the veggies were separate from the rest of the pho makings, the noodles were at the bottom of 4 slices of lean steak and onions, green onions, and cilantro. Then the basil, lime, and bean sprouts were like right next to the raw meat sooo...yeah move the veggies into a separate plastic bag, that would be good. (btw my order was to go!) So then the thing that made this review lose a star is the fact the broth was so watery. It lacked a lot of pure flavour and richness that other broths have that I've tasted. Also, the noodles were undercooked. They were thicker square cut rice noodles, more dense and chewy, hard to down, and I get that with to go orders you want to undercook them a tiny tiny bit, but usually a dip in cold water helps that cooking process stop. Otherwise, if they fix these few things, I would gladly stop by next time im in the area needed something to warm me up/
(3)Truong L.
This restaurant is one of the best Vietnamese food in Puyallup . Food is pretty tastey and flavorful. The waitress whose name is Kelsy is so friendly and couteous to all the customers who are dinning at the restaurant (even she is working in front by herself only). . The best thing at this place is about the price that you won't believe it... it's so reasonable! wonder if they make any money with this business.My friend and iI got appetizers,noodle soup,pork sandwuches and ice milk coffee ...it's only $20.50! This restaurant deserves 5 . Good and healthy food, great customer service and so reasonable price!!! Keep up the good work. Wishing the best to all these hard working people and we absolutely come back!
(5)Olystacy B.
THE SPRING ROLLS. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM. THE BEST. After a soccer game in the area my daughter, her teammate, and I decided to stop here after seeing the reviews on Yelp. We were not disappointed. The place is a little tricky getting into as it is close to a busy intersection, but it is worth the trouble. The server was very friendly and sat us immediately. He was very talkative and really seemed genuinely interested in us at customers. Great menu with good descriptions and great prices. We had pho, vermacilli bow, grilled chicken, and spring rolls. I have spring rolls all over the country - these spring rolls are the best anywhere. SO GOOD. The chicken in them has a nice grilled/crunch texture I cant explain. The grilled chicken was some of the best grilled chicken - just the perfect amount of charcoal, sweetness, crunch, tenderness. All of our food was very tasty, fresh - and reasonable portions for the price. We will definitely come back if we are ever in the area. DID I MENTION THE SPRING ROLLS ARE TO DIE FOR?
(5)Erik S.
Had the tofu spring rolls with their home made peanut sauce and they were to die for. Plus their meatball and brisket pho is the best I've had.
(5)Mary J.
We have tried the Won Ton soup, the pho and several other dishes. All were very good and chock full of meats and veggies. Very nice people -always courteous.
(4)Rich W.
Wow! This place rocks! It may be the best Phó I've ever had...seriously. Try their other soups too. Their wonton soup is PACKED with flavor! I recommend having it with the rice noodles, rather than egg noodles that it normally comes with. Their spring rolls are the biggest I've had anywhere. And so good! Another nice thing is that the staff are all family and super friendly.
(5)Jerel C.
Good prices. Much better pho than some of the more expensive places around here. And ingredients seem to be fresher. Customer service is also good.
(4)jayson h.
*****PLEASE READ******* Best pho I have ever had. I use to drive by this place twice a day but never gave it a chance based in the appearance outside. Not that it was dirty, it just looked small and is on a busy road. Anyway, it ended up being the best pho I have ever had. I think I am a pho connoisseur, eaten it all over the USA and I am not kidding when I say this is the best I have ever had. I get steak PHO no cilantro extra green onion , always with an orange soda. Give it a try. Prices are great, clean bathrooms, nice friendly staff.
(5)Kelly R.
Favorite pho place! My partner and I come here all the time and don't even need menus because they already know what we want. Friendly staff and awesome service, love this place and it's close enough to home. Forever a customer
(5)Sabrina J.
I'm only giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because they didn't have a kids menu. My girls and I enjoy having pho dates from time to time ( they are 3 and 5) and their dad hates pho. We usually go to the one in Bonney lake but we we were in Puyallup and thought we'd try this place out. The guy who was waiting on us made an extreme effort to engage with the girls and although they didn't have a kids bowl, he offered to split one for them. I was very satisfied and so were the girls!
(4)Bethany T.
I was tired of going to the same ol' mediocre pho in South Hill but as you know there isn't many options. One day it occurred to me to find somewhere else (duh!) so I yelped pho restaurants and found this place. So here it goes. WOW! This place would get six stars if yelp would allow it! The customer service was top notch. Later I found out here was the owners young teenage son. That kid blew me away. He paid attention to everything. The food was also amazing. My kids ordered pho (meatball and combination) they obviously had smalls, which were a fairly big portion. I ordered the Vietnamese curry and a "appetizer" which ended up being a huge meal size of banh xeo. I knew it's usually a meal anyway but wanted to try it. Everything, I mean everything was perfect. We will definitely be back very soon!
(5)Vu D.
Always come back as a regular customer. The food here is always bomb and as authentic as it could be. Remember to equest the combination rice. It truly is a piece of art work!
(5)Keala M.
This place is THE BEST in Puyallup, WA!!! - If you want some awesomest of awesome delicious Vietnamese Pho and cuisine... Their food is amazing!!! Great service; great food and portions; delicious bubble tea; & affordable!
(5)Jeff W.
Holy cow. I thought it was going to be so-so. Was I ever wrong. Fresh veggies, well cooked chicken and very tasty sauces. Service was great and I left feeling like an important customer that was satisfied.
(5)Travis K.
It's something to hear from my wife, who is Vietnamese, that for the first time in a long time, after eating their pho, she was satisfied. By far, they have the best pho we've ever had, besides her family's recipe. The kids devour their pho every time. It's one of our new favorite places to eat out at.
(5)Sedna M.
The food here is wonderful. I had a traditional rice soup with steak and shrimp, the pho broth was so flavorful. My boyfriend ate the goat pot, he loved it. The waitress was sweet and helpful
(5)Kris W.
Vermicelli is great!! That's all I've had both times I've been here. Staff is very friendly and the place is clean. Will definitely be going back.
(4)Tony C.
After watching many businesses come and go out of this building (mostly all pho or teriyaki), my wife and I decided to try it out. We were always sketched out by the building and small looking exterior. We eat a lot of Asian food and are always looking for good pho and Vietnamese food. Let me tell you... This is the best you will get in Puyallup! Very reasonably priced and authentic! We are now huge fans! Go check them out! They are apparently under new management so if the last guys weren't good, try them now. (Never had tried the old management ).
(5)Jake M.
I've eaten here 3 times and I had great food and service all three times. First time I had a pork Bahn Mi and rice noodles(over two separate meals via takeout, I'm not an animal), second time a chicken curry sandwich and third time a BBQ bahn mi. I didn't catch my servers name but she was incredibly studious, intelligent and polite. Really recommend this place.
(5)Jen B.
The service was friendly and fast, but the food was SUPER greasy for us. If they had steam tofu instead of fried, the soup would've tasted better. I don't think this place has 5 star quality soup. Sad.
(2)Greg R.
My wife and I just finished our sixth great meal here. It's a unique place in a landscape of cookie cutter "pho" restaurants. Everything is fresh and flavorful and great service, too. We always have a great experience. Hopefully the people of the area will be discriminating enough so this place has the success it has earned.
(5)K T.
This is my new go-to PHO spot- I had the veggie- add chicken- it was full of delicious fresh vegetables and good quality chicken breast. Way better than the other local competitors.
(5)Karla B.
My husband and me were looking for a good pho place in Puyallup and finally wee find this place...Very Good food, good service!! The spring rolls are big and delicious. Definitely we will eat here again.
(5)Amber P.
My favorite pho spot in puyallup. Service is friendly and always consistent. I have dined in and done takeout a million times. Strongly recommend this spot!
(5)Severance D.
Some of the best pho I've had in years. Were willing to give extra basil and lime, which made it perfect. Spring rolls were good, and peanut sauce almost perfect. For the cost and location, you cannot do better in the south sound.
(5)Joe G.
Simple atmosphere, the pho dac biet was tasty and the spring rolls were out of this world! Definitely adding this to my list of regular haunts.
(4)Rich C.
This was only my second time having pho since I moved out west. It was AMAZING! The ingredients were so incredibly fresh and the broth was aromatic and savory. It was a beautiful mix of veggies, tofu, and broth and filled my tummy with warm goodness! The server was very knowledgeable about her menu and was very attentive. Watch out folks, stopping in here might make it a regular gig for you!
(5)Manny O.
Amazing price for quality. I love they don't use button mushrooms in the veggies...but shitakes. Huge portions..love they have egg noodles.. I'm not a fan of the rice.
(5)Julia M.
Best pho spot in puyallup. I always experience very (maybe overly) friendly service. The pho is always perfect, the chicken pho was tender and fresh- best I've had. I usually order bubble tea too. this place is kinda small, but always clean. oh... free wifi! The food is great and the fact that all the servers are so sweet mean that if I want pho, I don't go anywhere else.
(5)Destinee T.
Puyallup is the best location to get Vietnamese noodles in the area. If you go there any day of the week there will be a family member there each member of the family contributes to this amazing establishment. The Son is one of my favorite employees he has showed me many different dishes and noodles that I would usually not order. I highly recommend their pork noodles it is a yummy dish that was new to me. I usually get traditional which is good there as well but he has showed me many new alternatives. All of the staff there is very friendly and I would recommend going there if you would like to try some new things or have a good version of what you already like. Oh yeah And its the only place in Puyallup that you can find hum baos.
(5)Nan Hee S.
exellent veggie pho! chalk full go fresh carrots broccoli onions baby bok choy and mushrooms cooked perfectly with just the right amount of tenderness yet slightly firm. the noodles were al dente as that shud be so as they continue to cook in the piping hot broth they don't become smushy or slimy. the broth was seasoned perfectly not too salty did not need to add anything...my son enjoyed his seafood pho very much! the only negative was the bathroom wa out of tp but she refilled it right away. and also nothing to do with the restaurant itself but a couple eating inside left their pit bull in their truck on wayyyy too hot of a day. i was sitting in my car with the window all the way down and too hot within minutes while waiting for my son.people if u are too lazy to take ur dog home first because u want to sit in the restaurant in AIR CONDITIONING rather then just getting take out while ur dog is panting heavily even tho the windows are few inches down parked not in shade even then u deserve the police called on u! was about 2 minutes from calling the police but luckily they got their stuff wrapped up and came out. also wish the business owners wud keep an eye out and refuse to serve people ( dine in service) who are gunna leave their pets in the car on a hot summer day
(4)Sandy A.
We were passing thru and thought we'd give this place a try since we love Vietnamese food. What a treat to find that the food was really really good! The owner was especially friendly too! If you have the chance, definitely stop in for some great food and friendly service. That it's family owned makes it all the better.
(5)Tricia W.
After reading all of the positive reviews on yelp, my husband and I decided to give this place a try. We were not dissapointed, best pho in the area. The broth was very flavorful and the beef was tendor. The staff was super friendly too. This is def our new pho "go to".
(5)Amanda C.
My husband and I love this new Pho place. The service is wonderful and the people are so firendly. We try to come here every 2 weeks.
(5)Phi V.
The pho is what I expected, I'm not a picky pho eater and it tasted normal, nothing mind blowing. I came in for lunch, mostly empty, and a bit dark. It's hard to get in and out of the place because south hill is always soo full of traffic. Floor was sticky..and the place was not sparkling clean but nothing too bad. Pho tai was nice and hot. Didn't come with a lot of meat. If you're hungry it's good to eat and pho is good.
(3)Tabitha A.
We recently moved to Puyallup from Vancouver wa. We have had a hard time finding good places up here that we really like and i have been on yelp a lot to help me find good food. I saw all the good reviews on this place and it is close to our home so we decided to give it a try. The server was awesome! My husband got the curry chicken and i had beef pho. Both of our dishes were really good, they tasted freshly made and flavorful. We will definitely be going back.
(5)Kirsten H.
Small restaurant in a parking lot, but don't let that deter you from stopping in... The food is great and so is the service! My boyfriend and I went in for a late lunch/early dinner around 4pm. We were the only ones there so we sat down immediately. Our server was very sweet and courteous, and our food came out very quickly. We both ordered the steak pho and he ordered a taro root bubble tea to go with it. Everything was super fresh, the broth was perfect, and the bubble tea was spot on. Great place! We'll definitely be back!
(5)Trang N.
On our way back to Seattle from a day trip to Mt. Rainier... Looking for Asian food and stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant! Very flavorful, beautifully presented, authentic Vietnamese food. Mom's cooking in the kitchen while son and daughter provide great customer service. Our group ordered BBQ beef rice plate, Pork Chop rice plate, Tofu Stir Fry, Pho, Bo Luc Lac, and Seafood Noodle Soup. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and the portions were huge! Next time we're in the area, we will definitely stop by again. It's rare these days to find a pho shop owned and ran by a Vietnamese family.
(5)Shad K.
The food here is unbelievable. I'm a vegetarian and they have no issues taking the meat out of my meal. The customer service is great. Highly recommended.
(5)Gigi L.
They definitely have authentic Vietnamese food. They've got one of the best pho soups I've ever had. Also, the service was good. The only reason I'm giving it a 4-star is due to the cleanliness. Other than that, this place is awesome!
(4)Scot R.
Best Pho in the land of Puyallup! Hands down. Every place else needs to bow down. Broth is steaming hit, rich, and clean. Small menu done right. Board not filled with Chinese or Korean products. These guys make their own fried spring rolls and they're delicious.
(5)Chumno K.
I was driving home from work and I was really craving pho. The previous pho restaurant that was located here was horrid, to put it simply, so I was hesitant to give this place a try. But I said what the heck lets try it out!! Long story short the pho was delicious and the soup tasted authentic. This place is MUCH MUCH BETTER than the other 2 pho locations on meridian and I would advise everyone to try it! I was also impressed with the choices of food they offered! Definitely recommend this place.
(5)Charles W.
This place was definitely a surprise. I am a Pho fan and eat it quite often around my workplace in Renton & my house in Puyallup. I change between a couple places near work, and until now, frequented a different restaurant near home. The pho was VERY good! The meat was extremely tender, and a good size portion and pieces. The staff is VERY friendly and courteous and the interior of the restaurant is very nice. If you are in Puyallup, you definitely need to stop by this place. It will be worth your while, guaranteed...
(5)Gedaliah S.
Excellent pho and banh mi. The only thing I wish that they had added was the liver pattee, which is amazing!
(4)Joni H.
Definitely my favorite place for Pho in Puyallup. I've tried most of the others, but I feel like there are waayyyy too many of them in the area. The service is always very friendly (I'm pretty sure it's a family, and the daughter does most everything for the front of the house) and the food is always tasty and fast. The spring rolls and broth are great, and my other half always enjoys the pork vermicelli. He even likes their pho, which is impressive since he is definitely not a soup person. I would definitely recommend.
(5)Michael B.
This place was surprisingly good. I went in for some Pho. I had driven past this place several times. It's the closest Pho place to my house, but it's not the most convenient place to get in and out of but i gave it a shot anyways. Rather than order my usual Pho (meatballs, brisket, and Fatty Tendon), I ordered the beef stew over rice noodles, fried spring rolls, and an Ice Coffee. I had never had the stew before and this was soooo damn good. I am a big fan of Ramen and this had a flavorful broth, delicious tender beef, and the rice noodles were great. They serve their fried spring rolls with some home made sauce which i can't describe other than to say it was really good. Love this place on my first visit and I will be back with the fam!
(5)Laura M.
Food: one of the better if not the best Pho broth we have had. Very flavorful. Very clean, well decorated, and the tables were nice and roomy. Some pho places feel on the smaller side. The only thing that was odd was the service, though we are convinced his heart was in the right place and he did offer to re-fill our water every few sips. Owner's kid maybe? Over all a four star, and next visit it might get bumped to a five.
(4)Diana L.
I LOVE this little family owned restaurant..... In fact I'm grateful for it being here in puyallup..... We really did not have any viet restaurants that served pho that are made by Vietnamese people here is puyallup... And not just pho but bo kho, bo luc lac, hot pot, and my favorite goi! There service is awesome... The family is always so good to me! It's just an awesome place to go for some comfort food
(5)Huy D.
I like the food here and the way they serve is so friendly , beautiful waitress and they decorate the restaurant is really nice and romantic , come and try it you guys !!!!!!
(5)jon w.
After seeing numerous great reviews I figured I'd check this place out for lunch one day. The pictures are a little misleading it's not as nice as they portray but it's clean and organized. The server was a little too enthusiastic and attentive; I was interrupted every 3 minutes to see how I like my food or ask me how my experience was going. I ordered a brisket and rare beef combo and the texture was quite unappealing. It was bland and rubbery and the broth wasn't the best either. -Pho connoisseur.
(1)Ellie V.
Service was sweet but pho was terrible. Ordered the pho tai - meat was chewy and tasted old; broth was bland to the point anything you added to didn't help.
(2)Mike M.
Wow!!! Amazing Beef Stew!!!! The best soup ever!!! Great service and family run.. Doesn't get better than this folks!!!!!
(5)Lisa S.
I went here to try pho for the first time ever. The server was a sweet teenager. I ordered a vegetable pho and egg rolls. The egg rolls were a little over cooked but not bad. Now it was my first time having pho and I don't know how much it differs from restaurant to restaurant but I thought it was ok. Nothing to get super excited about but it wasn't bad. Also excellent prices! And my husband and I both got a small and they were huge I barely made a dent.
(3)Justine A.
Great customer service AA++! Food is excellent. I love the spring roll and the combo pho.
(5)Jamie S.
Great soup!! I will be coming back here. Not so fond of the spring rolls but they aren't bad.
(4)Pj R.
I love this family restaurant!!! I'd been eating at this restaurant prior to the current owners and enjoying it. They were nice and the food was good. I was initially concerned when I saw there were new owners, but went in to try it anyway. I was blown away! The décor was much improved, the menu much expanded, and the family running it was sweet as their bubble tea. All of my favorites from the old menu are still there, and there are many new authentic Vietnamese dishes that I have never seen in the chain Pho restaurants. One big bonus is that this family is Vietnamese. The Mom is the Chef and she is awesome. Most of the Pho places seem to be run by Koreans, not that there is anything wrong with that, but what a treat to have Vietnamese cuisine prepared by Vietnamese. There really is a big difference. With all this improvement I thought the prices would be higher, but as far as I can tell, they are lower. Just for a touch of background on me, I have 30 years in the Food & Beverage industry, from busboy to Director of Food & Beverage. I'm a wine broker, and a culinary instructor, so I have some perspective on great food. I think this family and their restaurant is a jewel of a find, and I encourage you to stop by and let them show you what they can do. Enjoy!
(5)Siv Ilina A.
I was driving by and saw the 'grand opening' sign. Being a real fan of Pho, and Vietnamese cuisine, I just had to stop in. Aesthetically pleasant interior, obviously family owned like many great Pho restaurants are. I was the only person in the dining room, planned to grab a sandwich to go, but decided to dine in, which I rarely ever do alone - the decor just yelled at me to sit, stay and enjoy. I ordered the #7 from the Pho menu. The tendon was very very tender, and the tripe was pleasant (only wished that there was more of it). The broth its self wasn't cloudy or greasy, and if it were just the broth in the bowl, I am sure that if I dropped a penny into it, I could clearly see the detail of the penny (very important for a great Pho). A little bummed that they do not have Bubble Tea, but I am not going to knock a star off for that because as the young man that waited on me said, they have a wonderful Thai iced tea and he was right, somewhat -- it wasn't just "wonderful" - it was divine. He brought me an egg roll because it was a special that they have been giving out for their Grand Opening and it is their last day. The sauce was nice. They even decorated the plate with a little bit of pretty vegetable garnish (little details like that are very nice). I ordered a medium, and I probably could have ordered a small instead, and maybe something extra to take home. That was one darned big bowl (and I am not complaining, it just caught me off guard). Bean sprouts were fresh and in abundance (maybe a little too much), basil was lively, a generous wedge of lime was present and so were the peppers. I showed up during the slow time of the day for most restaurants, and I do hope that they are much busier at lunch and dinnertime. They are definitely worthy of your business, and so if you happen to find yourself up on South Hill, definitely stop in. I can hardly wait for my next visit -- I took a to-go menu home with me as a reminder that I must stop in for a Banh Mi sandwich next week. The dining room is clean, not a lot of noise from the kitchen, and very attentive wait staff. Prices are VERY reasonable. Definitely worthy of a 5 star, and then some.

Great place a bit hard to get to depending on what time you go. I parked next door and walked, which was fine with me. Love the fact you can pick if you want shrimp, chicken,pork,tofu, or whatever for the fresh spring rolls. Since I have issues with shrimp. Small, medium, and large soup size which is great too. The only down fall was they don't have a veggie or no meat pho. I will be going back for sure

I've been here several times for the pho and spring rolls and I am quite happy with what I've gotten. The spring rolls are great. They're my husband's favorite. The service is quick and attentive as well. I should really try the other food, but a medium bowl of pho is always plenty for me.

I eat a lot of pho and this one has been the best so far. The soft tendon was very tender and the broth just right. The appetizers were delicious and the staff was very friendly. Even the decor was well done for the size of the store. When I am in the area, this will be a top spot for me.

Every time I come here, the girl is soooo nice. She knows my take out order and knows my voice over the phone. If she hasn't seen me in a while she'll ask how I've been and is so personable. The food is always delicious and I'm never let down.

The fresh tofu spring roll was outstanding. Made fresh to order and the peanut sauce is savory (the way I remember it being in Asia) and not cloyingly sweet like so many places. Also, they offer veggie broth pho, which is excellent.

This Pho place is our favorite here on South Hill. The Pho is always good and veggies on side are always fresh. Spring Rolls are a must! This is one of those places that makes you wish you were hungry immediately after eating just so you can eat more. Can't wait to try everything on menu!

Went last night, and the restaurant was very clean and inviting. The server was super friendly, even opening the door for me when I left. I got steak pho to go, and was very impressed with the portion size especially for the price. More than enough for seconds, and maybe even thirds. I haven't been to any other pho restaurants in Puyallup, but I'm definitely a new Pho Puyallup fan!

My wife and I eat Pho fairly often. I have been to most of the pho shops in the Puyallup area, several in Seattle area as well as pho shops in other states. The pho broth here is awesome! I love the way they make it! It's very flavorful and doesn't have all the fat floating on top like other places I've been. They definitely "skim the fat" while cooking it down:). It's an extra step that I've noticed some shops skip all together and it does make a difference. If you're near this place check it out! Great Pho and the service is great too. Nice people. We go very often.

Good service and the pho is very good as well. Try a lot of pho across USA, this is one of the most impressive one. The waitress is nice. Price is cheap. Strong recommend.

Read the reviews for this restaurant so I figured might as well try it. I ordered the combination Pho and their spring roll. The food was great the only thing was when I ordered I forgot to tell them that I wanted a SMALL so I ended up with a LARGE, a little too much for me. My waiter apologized but I told him that it was my fault. My waiter was very polite, he even offered me the password for the WIFI without me asking. MUST GO!!!

New owners, new menu and delicious. My wife and I ate here and we will be back for sure. She got a curry noodle dish and I got fried noodles with seafood, and we ordered egg rolls with crazy delicious homemade sweet and sour sauce. Maybe the best I've ever had. Plus the waitress was super friendly and helpful with the menu.

Our party of 4 ate at the new Pho Puyallup, open only 2 weeks, today. Everything was absolutely delicious. Great fresh spring rolls and peanut sauce! The pho broth was rich and flavorful. My husband said it is the best yet and all made from scratch. Served with a generous plate of basil, sprouts, peppers and limes. A friend had the vermicelli salad with pork and egg rolls and loved it! I had the Seafood Hot Pot and thought I was in heaven! Incredible flavor! It is served in an individual chafing dish and cooks before your eyes. The aromatic broth is like nothing I have ever tasted. Our server was the daughter of the owners and could not have been more helpful and kind. Definitely coming back!! (Just wish they could eliminate that door buzzer. )

Took my family here last Friday night and had some great food. Good price and good amounts for the price psid. The owners are real friendly and will take time to explain all the menu items to Vietnamese food newbies.

Ate there for the first time tonight. Great service, great price and omg great pho. We had the fried tofu, combo BBQ sandwich and veggie pho. Loved all of it and can't wait to go back. Our server was so helpful and kept our water glasses full. Wonderful place.
