Pho Garden — Restaurant in Tacoma

We are a vegan family of 4. We come here at least once a month, if not more. Our two kids (4 and 6 y/o) love it here. They usually finish all their food so it's somewhere we go where everyone is happy.

Staff is super friendly and service is top notch. They know what is vegan and what is not. We have had their salad rolls as well and there are other vegan dishes, but I wish there were a few more options throughout the menu for vegans (like specialty drinks and curries) but nonetheless, we are more than happy to have our pho.

We order 2 large tofu phos with veggies broth and a side of veggies to add to our soups. They thoughtfully bring us small bowls and scissors to cut the noodles as we share with our kids.

Tofu is deliciously fried and the broth is very flavorful. They offer a variety of add on spice options laid out at the table. Speaking as someone who likes spice, it's very much...

We stopped by Pho Garden for lunch around 12:30 on a Sunday. As expected, it was pretty busy. Masks are not required or enforced, so depending on how you feel, this may be a pro or con for you.

With how busy they were, we understood the food might take a little longer and they wouldn't swing by our table as often. No big deal, we just ordered chicken pho and pork potstickers. The potstickers were pretty good and were a good start. Our visit took a turn when they brought over the sprouts for the pho and there was a dead bug in them. It looked like an ant, but I didn't dissect it. We let the staff know and they promptly removed them from our table and brought us new plates with plastic wrap over them.

After that, it was difficult to focus on anything else. Flavors were fine, I just kept thinking there was a bug somewhere else. I wouldn't go back, but maybe I'm just very...

I just wanted to write a review on my experience from coming here over a year. Last time I came in I was dining with my boyfriend and who was working was a older lady and different from what I usually get, A woman walks in and complains loudly about a male waiter who is usually working saying how he isn’t as great and complains about waiting on the food. I just want to clarify that it’s a smaller business so expect the food to take some time from being homemade. And secondly, the man who is usually working the front and doing everything from packing orders, bussing tables all while taking food out has always been amazing to me and quick service. He always stops immediately what he’s doing and works very hard. So I just wanted to say him and the food is what continues to bring me back.. Thank you for the great service...
