Phở Fusion & Grill

Updated 08/05/2025 My wife and I like this place. The servers are exceptional, and the food is good. It's also open late for dining, which is what I love about it. Updated 08/13/2024 It’s my second time coming to this Pho Fusion for a combination noodle soup, which consists of raw meat, beef flank, fatty flank, beef tripe, and tendon. The last time I couldn't order this dish because they ran out of the beef “tendon.” After my wife and I ordered, our food arrived. Our food looks good, except… mine came in with a chipped bowl, and a few small slices of tendons. I had to dig for it. Then there's a display of the raw meat, and there are a few slices of that. The beef tripe is decent, and so is the meatball. Other than that there’s no other meat like brisket. All were fatty flanks. The proportion of the fatty flank is about 50% of the other meat combined. I had a hard time with it. After scooping the fatty flank out of my bowl of noodles, I asked the waiter why he put so much fatty flank in one bowl of soup. The waiter talked to the cook, believed to be the manager. He was able to give me a small bowl of brisket with soup. He also transferred my small bowl of noodles to a bigger chipped bowl. It was a good gesture, but I'm a bit uncertain at this point if I should try the combination pho again. The steak and meatballs dish was good on my initial visit. The soup, I find it a bit salty and I drank my cup of water, plus my wife’s water as well. No refill from the server. I don't know what to recommend at this point besides going light on the sodium and balancing the meat and fatty flank portions. That's my message for the cooks. And please check on your customers, and ask if they want more water. And good servers would observe and notice. __________ I enjoy having pho and often treat myself to a delicious bowl of this Vietnamese dish. This restaurant serves fantastic pho with a flavorful, rich broth. The only downside was that I wanted to order the combination pho, but the server informed me that they had run out of "tendon" or beef tendon, which is one of the main ingredients for this dish. My wife had the Bo Koh, or beef stew, and found it to be a bit more soupy than she usually likes. It tasted more like the pho broth, except for the coloring, which was different. Also, we needed a water refill. We were thirsty, drank all our water, and were looking for more, but the server was busy. I also noticed that the soup spoon they provided was giant. I would have preferred if they had given the regular spoon that is used at 99.99% of Vietnamese restaurants. Despite these issues, I plan to visit again to have a large combination pho, and I hope they won't run out of beef tendon next time, especially since there's an Asian grocery store just a couple of blocks away.

No other pho joint in Federal Way beats this place. I know recently they received some criticism about the place being dirty and food quality going down but trust me.. this the best pho joint in FW. A lot of places charge these days if you request extra stuff but they give extras (onion, lime, etc) for free. Oh, and for people complaining about their veggie pho not tasting good… you do know that pho is made with beef or chicken broth right?? Of course veggie broth is gonna taste bad compared to beef broth that cooked for 10+ hours. SMH

Exceptional service, great food. I ordered take out, and they asked if I wanted water or tea while I waited. Food was delicious on multiple visits. Very extensive menu.

Updated review - I've been coming here for 3 years and this place has really gone down hill. The last 2 times the place have been incredibly dirty. The floors, chairs and tables were so dirty. There was Stuff spilled all over the front of their ice machine. The ice water had stuff floating in it and oil on the top of the water. Also the place in general smelled like a dirty bathroom. The food has also gone downhill. I'm sad to say I will never be coming back. This place is so gross. My old review from 2022 ‐ WOW ! The food from here is so amazing. The broth for the pho has so much flavor. This is my new go to pho place.

Worst place ever. I cried, almost threw up and fainted. Why? I arrived with my family and waited for 10-15 minutes to sit down and order. When we did I order 2 spring rolls and they were disgusting. I got my actual food (steak pho) and I already lost my appetite from the appetizer earlier. So I barely ate it and I got my boba mill tea last which was weird but it was also disgusting. The milk tea was really sweet and the boba was not cooked all the way. So everything was horrible. The atmosphere was really dry and quiet which made it awkward and the service was okay but they were out of many things. I started feeling nauseous and lightheaded. We left and I couldn’t feel anymore relieved.

The portions are huge, the vegetables are fresh and full of flavor! Staff were welcoming and pleasant.

Not worth the drive and wait. Called order in ahead of time, and had to wait another 20 minutes. One nice lady running around and doing everything in a busy place. Of course she gets abrupt and whatnot but definitely not coming back if I have to wait 40 minutes for a bowl.

I ordered the Shrimp Spring Roll and double-checked the menu, which did not list cucumber as an ingredient. However, the roll contained large pieces of cucumber, which I’m allergic to. Most restaurants (99%) do not include cucumber in their spring rolls, and your menu clearly made NO MENTION of it. As a result, I’ve had an allergic reaction. And NO APOLOGIES. NOT COMING BACK

Wow this place was a hidden gem! A great spot where there's no traffic just to get here. Definitely feel very cozy in here as well and was met with a very warm welcome. I really love the food variety in their menu as well! They serve seafood boils here now and I thought I only got pho, I will be back to try the different options they have.

This place went super downhill. I don't even remember how good it used to be cause the most recent visit was so awful. My boyfriend came here to get some chow fun while I got my usual combination pho. The service was non-existent, no greeting or anything and just given menus without a word. They gave us utensils after we ordered and I did notice they have added more condiments to add to your pho but that was the only good thing. The food took much longer than usual to come out and we were the only ones who just ordered as there was one table but they received their food. My boyfriend said the chow fun was meh and that they didn't offer much noodles or meat but just drowned in vegetables which would be fine if he ordered the vegetable version but he got the combo version. My pho was nothing like my old pictures, back when they packed it with meats and noodles was just like a small. I barely could even eat the meat as it was just chewy or had freezer burn. Definitely sad to see a late open and close by pho restaurant just become awful. It also seems like cleanliness is no good here too, even other reviewers mention this on Yelp and Google.

The chicken pho was one of the best i've had in a while! so flavorful and the veggies were an added bonus! we got spring rolls as well and the sauce was very good! Our service was really great we were helped right wawa's considering we came in pretty late at night but they made sure we had everything we needed and gave us more then enough time to enjoy our meals in peace! Great seating for parties of all sizes, including solo seating i don't of the window for a quick lunch by yourself!! we've been back a couple times since our initial visit!!

The food is incredible, especially the pho broth. Only been here twice, but there were dishes piled up on unused tables both days.

I got the chicken fried rice. If you aren't familiar with fried rice dishes from a pho place, they are gigantic. This was probably 5 lbs of food for about $20. Split it with a friend and we barely dented it before we were full. Rice was fresh. Not old leftovers. Lacked some wok hay flavor tho.

The food was not up to par, the fried rice was extremely dry, the beef and broccoli had zero flavor. They only had a bud- lite to choose from, no wine or other beers. The service was slow considering there was only 1 other person there when we arrived, I had to send my son to ask for to go containers and the bill. I promptly paid the bill only to find the waitress come running after me like I tried to dine and dash, only to follow her back in for her to confirm I had indeed paid the bill she just hadn't looked assumed we tried to take off. The place isn't that clean overall, food in the floor, the tables have sauce bottles that don't have any tips on them and have dried up drippings on the bottles, spent $110 not worth it at all.

Went there tonight thinking the place would've changed after not eating there for like 4 years. As you walk in you are seated just to be ignored after your meal is served. We had to ask for a drink and to go boxes. I could've easily just taken it to go if I knew the customer service wasn't going to be great. The food was alright my pho noodles were chopped into little pieces, which confused me. The combo chow mein barely had any flavor and meat just noodles and vegetables. When you go to the front to pay for your food the tubs for boba were open, utensils that you use are just placed every where. Look into the kitchen it looks dirty and contaminated. Water running from the sink being served to customers. I think you guys should get a bigger place to accommodate your shelves and foods. The boxes of condiments just piled up in the front and dishes every where makes your establishment look unorganized and unsanitary.

The food was very good but there was quite a long wait. Understandable that they could've been short staffed but the wait time for every customer was quite long even taking that into consideration. Ordered the Viet Egg rolls and combination Pho, both would be worth ordering again. Will continue to support the Mom & Pops spots and give it another try when back in town.

Unfortunately this would be my last time coming here... place looked disgusting and my pho noodles were completely overcooked I can't even pick it up with my chopsticks which is very upsetting so I ended up just eating the meat, my other food with very bland even tho I asked for extra seasoning ahead of time. Never coming back

Late night pho spot if you're looking for something hot and comforting after a night out! They serve a combination of Vietnamese and Chinese food. Lots of options but we mostly come here for the soups. Can't tell you how many times it's saved my life when I've had a hankering for late night pho!

This place serves flavorful amazing dishes. We came in around 9pm with a group of almost 18 ppl and this person is helping us running around and catering to our needs with a friendly attitude. When I asked him his name...his name is Bill and to find out later on that he is the owner of the restaurant!! Bill is beyond wonderful and humble!!

-We decided to go here for dinner (AGAIN LOL) it's right across from us so it's so convenient. This place is amazing! Today my partner and I decided to get different things than usual. The waitress (I'm thinking she's a lead or something) is always so amazing. -I decided to get the beef stew (4/5) it is very sweet for my liking and more soupy than I thought. The meat was tender though so that's a plus. I got it with noodles and a side of rice but I think I liked it better with the rice. -My partner decided to get the combo rice dish (grilled pork) (5/5) and it was soooo good. It is bigger portions and the flavor is so good! We never really get rice dishes at Vietnamese restaurants because the pho and bon bo hue is so good. Try this out if you don't want noodles/soup. -The signature house wings are always amazing! (10/10) This time we got so much more chicken than before and it was perfectly crispy/juicy. -Thai Tea (3/5) The Thai tea was pretty good, not too sweet but had a very flowery taste. We wouldn't get it again but it was great to try. - ambiance is very hole in the wall, and homey feeling.

This is one of my favorite pho places in the area, and best of all, they are open late. The ambiance is casual, but there is table service that is prompt and friendly. My go-to is the combination pho. It is always fresh and flavorful. I also had the Bun Bo Hue, which was quite impressive and a nice change if you want something other than pho. The price is also not terrible for all you get, and I always have leftovers. The problem is they don't heat up as well, and the soup tastes far better in-house than via delivery. All in all, it's a solid bowl of pho in Federal Way.

Still continue to love their pho! Although, sad their prices increased by about $10 each bowl, but still worth it with the quality they give. I ordered the oxtail while my husband remains for the go to order of the crispy chicken. Chicken is STILL super crispy on the outside and falls off the bone. Oxtail is SUPER tender, falls off the bone! Broth isnt watered down. Place continues to not get overcrowded whenever we visit on a Friday night. There is occasionally another couple or another family in there when we visit. We still get our food in a timely manner, 10 minutes for our food to arrive. Overall, will still continue to visit. Absolutely love this pho place.

This is our 4th time frequenting this establishment and we know that we are going to have a satisfying experience. The food is amazing and provides enough selections without becoming overwhelmed. Also, the staff is warm and friendly - treats everyone with kindness. Each time we have went in, there has been a diverse crowd too, truly welcoming to all cultures.

YUM-MAY! I was faithfully going to Pho Tai before I tried this spot. Sooo good! I love their broth. I normally get the combo pho but every time we go we try to order something new/different. New fave pho spot. Local hidden gem.

I was in the area looking for a "buhn mi" of course I had to Yelp to help me find a place. Found it. Ordered online to pick up using Grubhub - unfortunately my order was not ready when I arrived. The dining room was very busy. The person in front of me was ordering food to go. The dining area is small could fit about 20-25 patrons. It isn't a lunch date area unless you are in a comfortable relationship then yeah feel free to have a seat. My Buhn mi was beef and good. I was starving. I will try again when I can let you all know if it good or great.

Best. Pho. Ever. If you decide to come here, you won't regret it... and if you don't, I'm sorry in advance but you're missing out on one of the greatest food experiences. Very friendly staff that HUSTLE. they are very respectful and hard working people.

Wouldn't recommend this place. Came around 8 on a Saturday, guy working there didn't speak a lick of English, took 30 minutes to come out with my pho and the noodles were over cooked to the max, tried to ask for another bowl and he seemed insanely lost so I just paid and left. Absolute waste of money.

We decided to make a point to try every pho restaurant in the area and this was one of them. Not only was the delicious, but honestly everything we tried had nothing but flavor. We were so excited to try a little bits and pieces of the menu throughout but my one big favor was the fish sauce wings. They were absolutely fire, and I wish they came in larger quantities because I would order them again and again. Definitely worth the visits and definitely worth the money!

Omg this place is horrible! The pricing for clear water tasting broth is ridiculous & slow service just run w/ your $. Sorry it's not good it's not even decent. Yuck yuck

Broth is watered-down & weak. I haven't been here for a couple yrs. & now I remember why. So many other places with better broth in the area. It's all about the Broth!

Upon walking in we were greeted right away and told to sit anywhere we pleased. On a late Friday night, the restaurant was pretty busy considering there aren't many dining options open past 9 pm in the area. My partner had ordered a large pho and the waitress recommended I try the Bun Bo Hue, which was my first time trying that dish. I've heard a lot of raves about Bun Bo Hue and was excited to give it a try. When the waitress brought our utensils, we requested a new set because the ones we were given appeared to have left over food residue. On the spoons, you can see a brownish-red substance that usually occurs over time when not scrubbed properly. The forks were not cleaned well also. When she came to replace the utensils, one of the spoons were still dirty and one was much cleaner. So, we decided to not to bother them anymore regarding this and didn't use the spoon. As far as the tastiness of the food, I'd say it was mediocre (and my partner agreed with me on this as well). Both broths were bland and lacking flavor. My boyfriend's pho, was primarily noodles and not enough meat. Therefore, the meat to noodle ratio was definitely not even. The Bun Bo Hue just tasted like Pho broth with the addition of spicy chili powder or flakes. It was certainly disappointing. However, the waiter was friendly and patient. She checked in with us and the other customers after we received our food. I have no complaints regarding the service but, unfortunately we won't be returning.

This review is long overdue!!! Specifically for vegans I discovered this place when I was searching Yelp for late night pho. There are a few other places on the Southside of town but being vegan, not everyone offers vegetarian broth. This place was low on the list but from all of my experiences, it should be #1. The first item I tried was the pho; it was phenomenal!! The flavour, the fullness of the bowl, and everything in between was delicious. They're very accommodating with asks as well. I, now, order the vegetarian fried rice and also the tofu bahn mi. Again, everyone is so accommodating when I ask them to remove things. They get it right every time!!!!! The ambiance is relaxing and not over the top. Funny enough, it actually gets pretty busier during their late night hours. Being open until 12am on weekends and 11pm every other day, how can you beat that?! This place has become one of my top #3.

Prices went up 20% within a week. No warning. Was very disappointed I wasn't informed prior to my order. Menu prices online not updated. Food is good, but raising prices on everything 20%is unreasonable. I can understand raising prices on some items, but this practice without informing customers isn't good customer service or customer appreciation. I will not be going back.

Our regular go to spot for Com Tam, it is the best here in federal way in my opinion! The service there is always nice and they have contemporary vibes. They get pretty busy at night. Our only negative is the pho is not the greatest here, we taste alot of cinnamon mainly. Still would recommend this place to a friend with their other dishes! They also have the best fish sauce wings in federal way!

It saddens me that I am writing this review but I am appalled with the thoughtlessness in food prep and safety. I ordered the fusion sampler and tofu bahn mi. When eating the egg roll, I pulled out a hard, sharp object that could've easily been ingested. I was worried about eating the sandwich after which I took one bite and it was completely inedible. I'm incredibly disappointed and door dash only offered to refund a portion of my meal. I will not be ordering from here again.

pretty decent pho - i'd get again if i was in this area. weirdly enough i am obsessed with the Salt and Pepper Wings and i might drive my ass out there from tacoma to go get these wings again. i only ordered from here after deciding that my friend and i would like pho after i go up to sea tac to pick her up and we decided to add on the wings cause they looked so good. i am SO happy i did. i was so hungry i ate one in the car before she arrived -- it was SO hard to resist as i am 100% japanese and it is NOT okay to eat before anyone else. but it was either disappoint my ancestors or pass out from hunger . anyway, it was so good i ate another and then had to stop. on the drive over i told my friend how good the wings were and she was excited but worried it was going to be soggy by the time she got to try them but i picked her up, we drove home, and she finally got her hands on one and it was still crispy! oh also i don't ever usually clean the chicken bone but i did this one cause it was so delicious. crispy outside juicy inside and garlic all over - say less! can this be a perfume?! moral of the story: GET THE WINGS! you will not be disappointed. yes, chicken wings from a pho place just do it #nike

Solid pho spot that's open later than other pho spots in the area. My go-to phos are brisket or meatball. Good broth with decent amount of toppings and noodles. Small indoor area that gets packed but haven't had a problem getting seated. Free parking lot.

Excellent Ban Mi sandwich and Pho! Quick and courteous service! Good location and lots of parking..

Had a late night craving for pho and this was the only pho restaurant open nearby. The broth was pretty good. Absolutely no complaints with the food I ordered. Service was on the slower side by still pretty quick considering how packed it was. Very cute restaurant!

Not a bad place but I wasn't sure what I thought about the food. I got a Vermecelli Bowl with egg rolls. The vegetables that made up the bowl were fine but I didn't particularly like the flavor of the egg rolls. Nothing was wrong with them per se but the recipe just didn't strike me in the most favorable way. Perhaps the Banh MI or the Pho would have been more to my liking but it was a hot summer day so as far as I'm concerned Pho wasn't really an option. I also got Bubble Tea. This was the Taro flavored one and was very good. Love drinking and eating those tapioca balls so in that regard this restaurant was a total hit for me. So all in all a mixed experience but far from what I'd call a bad experience.

Really good and friendly. Really fast with service and quiet calm place. 100% recommended

We decided to stop by to warm up from the cold weather. Their pho is delicious and has the flavors of Vietnam. It was as if we were transported there with each and every bite and slurp. Their bowl of pho came piping hot and remained hot even after we were finished. Exactly what we needed on a cold winter day.

The brisket pho is always very consistent... CONSISTENTLY GREAT! Also they're house fried chicken is so crispy with the perfect amount of sauce. This isn't the closest pho restaurant to my house, but it's definitely my top choice!

Terrible with the capital T Ordered Oxtail Pho this what i got omgoshh... Wings are under cooked & not crisp.... Broth cant really use words on this one. Dont do it

Pho Fusion &Grill is a nice little place with plenty of parking, a nice kind of islander feel to it, good service and great food. Everything we ordered we liked. It might well be the best Pho restaurant in federal way. I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. They even had football on while I was there. Check it out: https://youtu.be/UW2hNDQPKJI?si=XiuYYxGhnDXpTMWj

Everything was horrible !! They had an excuse on why my drinks limeade weren't made right cuz they were just too busy .. the banh mi tofu had no flavor and only one thin slice of cucumber !! How stingy and worst sandwich I've ever had ! The pho tofu was yuck !!! And the tofu rolls are were ok just seemed like more noodles than anything else! Overall I would never come or order here again. I should've known by seeing the ok sign rating on door !! I usually don't eat at anything but a good or excellent rating on door due to health dept ratings ! It's crucial You know cuz I a lot of the Vietnamese places are dirty asf

Thank you Yelp for steering me here. We're on a week-end getaway and overeating with a lot of good food, so pho sounded like a reasonable lunch. Well, that was wrong! The "medium" (smallest you can get) size was huge! My husband got meatball, and I got brisket, both so delicious! Broth very flavorful and a little fatty, in a good way. Brisket yummy, and there was a lot! We ended up taking almost half to go, so we have room for dinner tonight. Only small complaint is that they had us "box" our own leftovers, and with pho it was pretty messy. Otherwise good service.

Out of the: food, service, & ambiance, the service was the best. I would just come back here because their service was so good. Very attentive and the restaurant is smaller size which creates more of a homey environment. I had the brisket pho. Pho tastes like any other pho I have had in the past.

My husband and I were craving some Pho and our usual place was already closed so we went on yelp and saw that Pho Fusion and Grill is still open. So we went there to try it out. When we got in, the server greeted us right away, and he show us where we can seat. He gave us a menu and water after like 5 mins. I'd ordered Pho brisket, and spring roll and my husband got a Pho rare steak. We got a small size. Spring Roll - it was good but it wasn't great. I have had some good spring rolls before. Pho Brisket - the flavor was there, but I feel like something is missing. I didn't like how my noodles were cut up. Pho Rare Steak - my husband said he likes it but the same as my comments he feels like something is missing. The only thing that I don't like about the food was how they serve it. I know we order a small size but the bowl was too small that I can't even mix my bean sprout and other stuff in it. It was messy when I was mixing it. The place was okay. The restaurant is tiny and looks small inside when you entered. The plants look nice but I think it makes the room look smaller. The tables and walls are kinda dirty. I would probably come back to try another dish.

Since Yelp won't let me do halves, let's just say it's 3.5 because it wasn't bad but the service does bring my rating down. I love that they're open late and the food was great, but the service was lackluster at best. We were told to sit behind the wall, which impedes you from being seen by the staff. We browsed the menu, and probably 15-20 mins went by with no service. Granted, they were going to other tables and i kept looking at them but nothing. They finally stopped by on their way to the table next to us, who had summoned them. We ordered the combo pho large, the chow fun with beef and the combo broken rice plate. My husband wanted a tea that was featured in their menu, which they didn't have. The food was great! The chow fun was very vinegary but you can't stop picking at it once you start. My combo plate had a lot of items that I've never tried before, which I really appreciated. My husband's pho was a good size and he enjoyed it. Our milk teas were good, nothing to write home about. Over all, i would return but I may request a different table.

Staff is really nice but food is mid at best. Chow fun with beef had no flavor and couldn't tell which wings were garlic butter or salt and pepper they tasted the same.

First time trying this place a couple days ago and I'm hooked. The food was quick and delicious. The broth in their pho was so flavorful and fragrant that I want to keep coming back for more. Their pho comes in 3 sizes - regular, large, and extra large. My boyfriend and I shared the large combo pho and it was hefty. Definitely perfect for sharing or if you're feeling adventurous to take it in all on your own. We also shared their combo rice plate recipe that comes with your choice of meat and all the other yummy stuff (see photo). We had the short rib and the lemongrass marinade on it was delicious. I think I have found my go to pho place in Federal Way.

The place is sooooo dirty. I've been to some dirty places and can kinda handle it, but this one comes in at number one. Food is okay, but even service is lacking. They gave me a to-go box with dried rice inside. I told them & they didn't even apologize and just gave me a new one.

Adventures in Federal Way! My husband and I have lived in this side of town for 27 years. Now that the kids are grown we have date night once a week. We usually stick to our hand full of places we like but decided to branch out somewhere new. Pho Fusion & Grill did not disappoint! We were warmly welcomed by their family/staff and started looking through their massive menu. Ultimately deciding on the garlic butter chicken wings, the roasted chicken egg noodle soup, and the chicken chow mein. (Could you tell we wanted chicken tonight?) All 3 dishes were excellent. We tried to divide and conquer but the plates were so massive we both have lunch for tomorrow. These dishes are prepared and sent out of the kitchen as they are completed so expect an onslaught of food if you take this journey. Excellent flavor with plenty of variety for your tastebuds. The chicken wings were the only thing we could completely finish as they were both of our favorite of the selections. The massive amount of chow mein was enough for several people and we delighted in both it and the roasted chicken egg noodle soup. This place was a real surprise and we were completely blown away with how good everything was. We plan on going back and trying more of there selections in the future!

Honestly, by far the best customer service i have received in forever. I mean as soon as I came in this guy named John, started taking care of me and asking me questions. He asked me right away how i was doing and you can tell he actually cared and everything. We talked and he told me the best food they had and what i should get and everything. He gave me his honest opinion one what's good and not, and even threw in something bomb for me to try. The food by far was amazing, so fresh and delicious. Like i was so amazed. I mean i love pho but this pho you know was really and homemade. The chef was great in his or her cooking skills, and i definitely will be back soon, I'm so excited that i found this place. The entire restaurant was clean, and fresh and beautiful. The customer service i received was again by far the best ever. And the love coming from John and everyone was great. I will definitely be coming back and i will tell friends and family to come stop by try there food. Thank you John, because of you, you made our day. Thank you bro!! Btw you must try there homemade lemonade honestly. The lemonade is the best ever!!!

Food is great large portions the salt and pepper wings are delicious house wings are great as well very friendly people.

I've ordered many menu items now and always gotten exactly what I wanted. Good, fresh food, not old & greasy. The keep vegetables and such separate from broth so it isnt mushy. Flavors tend to be fairly mild, but tasty. We will use them again for all the fresh ingredients! For sure!
