Only have had Pho a few times, an never really thought too much about it. Broth soup isn't my favorite. Vien Dong has changed my mind. The place is generally packed, and the great food is the reason why. This is a place I would go miles out of my way for, without a second's thought. Huge portions, economical, tasty,... More

I travel often and continually find myself craving the food here regardless of where in the world I may be. As others have referred to this as a dive that comment sorely deserves clarification. There is little to no ambiance but the place is meticulously clean. There may not be a dance floor and mood lighting, but I assure you,... More

Agree with all the other reviews- authentic, huge portions, very affordable, quick service, & clean. My Aunt & a friend of hers are "regulars" & I would be too if I lived here. Large menu; restaurant on the small size & due to it's popularity we came around 4pm - perfect time for a great meal !

Owners are so nice and food is excellent. My husband eats there once a week. The restaurant is nothing to look at but the food is delicious.

Had to wait two years until I traveled back to Tacoma to eat here and that is too long. They have the best Vietnamese food. Portions are huge too.

When asked to pick her favorite local place, this was where my niece steered me. She picked a winner. It is a small, local place with large portions of very tasty food. I had lemongrass chicken, she had garlic eggplant tofu. and we both had a spring roll, which came with a wonderful peanut sauce. I can see why she... More

I liket the food here. The Chicken Lemon Grass is excellent, and the soups are solid. The prices are great. The women that were work are wonderful, friendly, warm, and provide great service. That said, the man who works there seems very tempermental- the last time we were there he was grouchy and storming around the place. So, I very... More

This is just a great place. Simply served, all the effort goes into the food in this family owned business. The people are great, the food is always fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. We usually just get a couple of dishes for the whole family and have food to spare. Most dishes are around $6.00. The place is pretty much... More

This place is a true dive restuarant, but they have the best Pho in Tacoma (that I've had so far) and there are lots of other great soups and plates to try. When I get a cold I order the Spicy Beef and Pork Noodles Soup and I'm better in a day. Only bad thing is they don't serve any... More
