We were in Kent to catch a movie at AMC Kent and wanted some bun after our movie. Pho Lam popped up with good reviews so we took our food to go. The restaurant was nice,busy, staff and service is fast and efficient. A really nice bunch of people running the place and the food was awesome. My bun with tofu was terrific, the tofu was fried to perfection and there was a lot of it. First time I've ever had that much. My partner got the bun w/grilled chicken & also loved his. A nice place to grab lunch.

This is one of the best pho broths that I have ever had in Washington, very flavorful and comforting! The portions and prices are very fair with the large combination pho in comparison to other pho places. The toppings were pretty generous too, as I usually have to ask for more from other places. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by staff members and told to seat ourselves anywhere we liked. I love how quaint and adorable the decorations were in the restaurant. It definitely set a cozy vibe while we were there. As we sat down and looked over their menu, it was nice to see how concise it was as I get overwhelmed when there are too many choices. Our server dropped off us a cute transparent water carton with two cups that had ice in it. The main reason I knocked off one star was due to the server was staring at us awkwardly and even came up to us a bit awkwardly before taking our order. It felt like we were being rushed, although I later saw he went on his lunch break after he dropped off our pho bowls. My boyfriend and I both got the same thing but loved our bowls so much. I pretty much finished most of my broth which isn't common for me as often times, pho broths are way too salty and makes me drink more water than the broth. I didn't even add too much chili oil as I wanted to preserve that amazing beef broth. The meat amount was very generous and the pieces were pretty big unlike other places that give you cut up pieces. I'm so sad that Pho Lam is far away from me as I can still taste and smell the broth when I think about pho. I highly recommend checking them out!

The place has a great tasting soup and their portions are generous. Amazing beef rib, the bone makes the flavor unbelievable! The place doesn't look much from outside but if you need a good size quality Vietnamese food you will love it!

I just finished shopping at h.k. market right next to it and I wasn't even hungry but I just didn't want to go home to my family yet lol so I came in and ordered the combo rice plate with chicken and I freaking annihilated that plate. The side broth was hot and warmed me up, the chicken was grilled and the shrimp cake was my favorite! I thought the shrimp cake was gonna be like a ramen style with the pink swirl in the center but this was like a pocket stuffed with shrimp then deep fried, it was delicious! I'll can't wait to come here again :)

I hesitate to review Pho Lam, as today is my only experience - I stopped and ordered "take out" - Spring Rolls and Fried Chicken Wings, certainly not a comprehensive measure of a restaurant with such a broad selection of entrée's. Nonetheless, a few observations are noteworthy. The Spring Rolls are huge and very freshly made. The peanut sauce is somewhat watered down, not the creamy peanut-forward flavor we usually expect. There are, however, a complexity of flavors (ingredients) in the Spring Rolls, that elevate them over other restaurants. $5 for two, with peanut sauce, is a fair price. The Fried Chicken Wings (6 ea per order) were a highlight. They came with a typical sweet chili dipping sauce which I didn't open because the natural flavor of the wings was delicious. However, $8.99 for 6 wings was high in my opinion. There just wasn't enough meat in the wings. The presentation of the food was excellent. The facility was clean. The young man who waited on me was really helpful, went out of his way to open the door for me and bring the order out to my car. It appears Pho Lam has been open for a year, gaging from comments by several who were here on opening day. The number of 5-Star reviews from people with no picture, all near the opening day, is suspect. Especially considering they've only written one review and live farther away. Based on my short and limited experience, I think 4-Stars gives Pho Lam the benefit of the doubt. I hope other elite reviewers will add their thoughts.
