Fresh Rolls Fircrest — Restaurant in Tacoma

I had a dear friend visiting who loves Pho, so another friend and I decided to treat him to fresh rolls.

Feeling adventurous, I opted not to order the pho and instead tried the Vietnamese BBQ chicken sandwich (banh mi), and it was hands down the best banh mi I've ever had. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, and the creamy mayo sauce inside was simply delicious. It was perfectly balanced with mint, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and jalapeño, making it both satisfying and refreshing. This spot has definitely become my new favorite for banh mi.

We also indulged in the pork and shrimp spring rolls, which were generously filled with veggies and meats, and the dipping sauce was exceptional. It was a perfect appetizer while we waited for our banh mi and pho.

Both of my friends ordered the beef pho and raved about how amazing it was. Like the banh mi, it was bursting with flavor and generously portioned with noodles and meat. I tried the broth and was blown away by its zesty flavors.

Despite the shared parking, we found front parking easily, and the interior was impeccably clean. The staff greeted us warmly upon arrival and were incredibly polite and attentive throughout our meal. There were plenty of tables inside to dine comfortably.

I also noticed they offer a selection of boba teas and fruity drinks, so next time I return for a banh mi, I'll definitely try one of those.

The prices were very reasonable; I spent less than $12 on the sandwich and a bottled drink.

Overall, I highly...

I attempted to use their online ordering system. I submitted by order at 6:38pm, not realizing their restaurant closes at 7pm. The online notification showed my payment and order was still pending and has not been accepted by the restaurant. I checked again and it was 6:50pm. The website said the order should take 10mins. I realized after about 10-15 mins, they close at 7pm. I called and tried to make contact just to see if my order at least can be cancelled. No answer. I checked my bank to ensure I wasn’t charged and it was listed as pending. I will check back in to see if they charged me or not. But this is quite inconvenient that system allowed me to place an order close to closing time. It is understandable that they do not prefer to accept online orders close to closing, however, they were still listed as open and should serve customers. If they prefer not to then they should close the online ordering feature so customers aren’t left in the dark and their funds are held by their bank. The fact that they didn’t answer their phone was also a red flag. The whole experience and their system was inconvenient and...

It is a very small place not great for big groups but if you want a bite to eat as you are heading to the dentist like I was... this is a great place! I ordered their shrimp spring rolls and the pork banh mi. The spring rolls were huge! Two rolls in an order. The shrimp were full size! Most places slice the shrimp in half but this place gives you the whole shrimp! I loved that! The pork sandwich was sooooo good! There was this sweet chili sauce in it that I have never had in a banh mi before and I am surprised at how delicious it was! Maybe it will make it a routine to stop here every time before the dentist cause it definitely...
