Pho Tai — Restaurant in Bremerton

I ordered from here because I thought I could get decent Yakisoba and according to the reviews some great gyoza.. I read the reviews that the food was great and thought this would be an affordable place to get a decent meal. One would think that the reviews could be trusted especially since I'm in the PNW and this place is rampant with Asian cuisine.

Wrong. I was wrong to believe y'all and y'all, well, y'all are just wrong!

It's not affordable (30 bucks for an order of gyoza and an entree isn't affordable - even these days. I took a picture of what I was charged $15.99 for - HALF a container of some noodles, a little bit of protein and a whole lot of vegetables (I ordered the most expensive "combination" which was supposed to be chicken, pork, beef and seafood). What I got for "seafood was ONE shrimp that had been cut in half and tossed into the mix, some very thinly sliced pork, some equally thin slices of beef and no chicken whatsoever, all of it overpowered by the heavy taste of cooked green bell pepper in BIG chunks! (I HATE cooked bell peppers and they should have mentioned it's inclusion in the menu!)

Oh, and some white rice - which I don't understand including with noodles because uh, you've got NOODLES! Unless, of course, that's an ultra cheap way to " fill up" a takeout container (wink, wink).

The goyza was not delicious, I got mine fried and they tasted like they had been cooked in dirty grease. Bleech.

Oh and speaking of grease... The noodles were covered in it. Bleech - again.

So, basically I threw away 30 bucks tonight on a place that some of you think has "great food". All I can do is shake my head and feel sorry for your taste buds if this is what you think of as "good" or...

Pho tai is a franchise pho place. So the pho is relatively the same no matter the branch. That said, it has the best tasting soup, most generous meat serving, and most customizable bowl(they even do small noodle portion if asked) of any pho place I've had in Washington state. All pho tai locations offer other menu items that are unique to the location, and this location doesn't disappoint. They have basically a Washington "teriyaki spot" menu on top of the familiar Vietnamese items. Their spring roll is scrumptious with a consistently exceptional peanut sauce. Their fried roll is just as delicious, I would go as far to say it's probably the best of any of the pho places in Kitsap county. I have yet to try any of this location's salads or "teriyaki" menu items because the pho is that good. Oh and the bubble tea is worth a trip on its own if the mood hits you while you're in the area. Just remember they are CLOSED ON SATURDAY. Been a victim of that disappointment because I forgot on more than...

It's a nice cozy restaurant in bremerton. Good for family and friends. They have a smaller parking lot. I recommend taking your time when entering because it can be a busier traffic area at times. The workers are kind and friendly. The food is always great! Highly recommend their special phos and the fresh spring rolls. Great for a little date night. Portions are good for the money you pay. To go comes in a nice box - it makes you feel like you're coming out from costco. Very handy getting to go orders in a box. Oftentimes, it's a very peaceful dining experience. They have small goodies for sale sometimes. The last time I was there, they had cute homemade candles. Pho is always great for cold weather. They do sell boba, too. Close to the ferry and the freeway entrances. There is also a gas station nearby if needed. Very convenient location for business....
