Pho 111

My favorite phở place! The food and service are consistently great. Prices are really fair. If you like phở, this is a great choice!

I had lunch here today. The basil they brought me was wilted and dried out, as was the lime wedge. When the phở itself came out the noodles were chopped up and so short it required a spoon to get most of them as opposed to my chopsticks. There was so much MSG in the broth that my mouth itched and I had stomach cramps and hives for hours afterward. The meat was exceedingly fatty. It tasted nice and the portion was good but the quality was so poor that I could never recommend this place to anybody. I am still running to the toilet, 10 hours later.

Worst bahn mi I’ve ever had. Took at least four our five bites to get to the «meat». The baguette was nice, the veggies were, um ok, but the meat was not up to par. It was very minimal and super lacking in flavor. The meat was like sliced and weird. Like it was a couple of meat strips placed on the bun covered in some veggies. Also not a bit a spice in this bahn mi. Where were the japs?
I’ve never been before today but will never go again. Nothing against the owners, it’s just that you have a not good product.

I am a regular here. The wonton noodle soup is wonderful. The soup has noodles, wontons, shrimp and thin sliced beef. I crave this soup on a regular basis. The service is not always the best but prices are reasonable and the food is great. They are not open on the weekend because most of their customers are state workers and empty on the weekends.

Have now eaten there multiple times. Had the spicy beef phở but I didn’t like it that much. The next times I had the chicken phở which is great

Not sure what’s up with this place. First time I visited no one ever came out to seat me. Second time the service was slow, only one other table filled. Why does the server hang out in the back? They were out of bahn mi. This place is the third best phở place in south Tumwater. A distant third. Out of three. Disappointed. Why would I return?

Our go to place for a delicious, quiet meal. We’re never disappointed at both the quality and the price. The chicken curry is great, the spring rolls are top notch and of you’re gluten free, the menu will serve you well.

Gluten free? This place is for you. The phở was good, the ambiance was wonderful, and the staff knew exactly what had gluten and what didnt.

I frequent this restaurant due to the proximity to my work and the fact that I can get a complete lunch for $ 6 – 7. The service is great, atmosphere is quiet. Definitely try the spring rolls, they are as good as any I’ve ever tried.

Probably the best place for Phở in Tumwater. Good customer service, though a bit of a language barrier at times. Also when altering an order (no onions, etc.) they tend to mess that up. Good food though.

I’m definitely partial to Phở 111. The people who work you’re really nice and the soup is excellent. I love the eggrolls in the spring rolls and their bánh mì sandwich is delicious. As a sucker for repetition hey Julie just go for the beef noodle soup. always delicious. Plus it’s affordable it for lunch.

Ok phở… Service ok but to get a refill on a soda is next to impossible. Water all you can drink.

Their phở is good, but everything else is blah! The last time I went though, there was a STRONG smell coming from the bathroom and it made me loss my appetite. I haven’t gone back since.

Definitely the best phở around tumwater Olympia and lacey. Forget about little saigong or little danong. Drive the extra ten minutes for phở here.

Unfortunate. another phở let down. The broth wasn’t even a beef broth. a weak chicken broth at best. They used an over abundance of noodles to try and mask their lack of protein. They served lemon wedges instead of lime. My husband ordered extra tripe and tendon and got less than a regular version at another place. And ready for the cherry on top??? …the peanut sauce that was served with the spring roll was rancid. Unfortunate. I was really in a mood for some delicious phở.

I have been here a few times and finally decided to write a review.
There is always plenty of seating. That should tell you something.
When I used the men’s restroom there was a strong smell of «poo,» so be prepared for that pleasant aroma.
Their egg rolls are good. The hum bao not so much.
I ordered the Phở Ga and asked them to hold the cilantro. It arrived with cilantro.
He took it back and brought me a bowl without cilantro.
While we were eating, one of the employees was on his laptop watching what sounded like an animal show.
Pretty tacky and unprofessional.
Our waiter was fairly attentive, except when we wanted to leave. It required some hand motions for him to get off his butt and accept payment for our meal.
All in all, not a very good place.
The egg rolls were decent and the broth was good.
That’s about it.

I get the chicken phở #3. I am not a big phở lover but I actually crave this. Best flavor broth I found around and service could not get any better. Hubs and I tried the egg rolls. Super yummy!
I make this a go to place since I work close by and actually like the food!

Have been here 3 times. Overall this place is average. plenty of seating and never a wait. place is moderately clean. phở was good. fried egg rolls were below average compared to other places I’ve tried. bun with pork and egg rolls were below average. I did not find the pork edible because it looked undercooked and had a lot of fat to meat ratio. service is minimal but courteous.
will only recommend this place if you are in the area and severely craving Vietnamese food.

This Phở 111 is better than the one in Lacey. I ordered the #20 Fried Rice and it was very good. I also ordered the Spring Rolls and they were very fresh and the peanut sauce was excellent. The establishment is very clean. I used to frequent the prior establishment (Tran’s Dynasty) that was there. It’s good to still have Vietnamese food in Tumwater.

Phở 111 just opened recently in Tumwater. It’s the closest Phở place nearby, unless you want to drive to Olympia. We tried it for the first time yesterday and I’m so glad we did!
The BBQ Pork Humbao is fresh and soft, the spring rolls are perfect and the #1 Phở is amazing. The restaraunt is fairly large, very clean and welcoming. I will be back!
