Tho Tuong BBQ is a true hole-in-the-wall gem! Food: We ordered the combination noodles with roasted duck, crispy pork, and BBQ pork. It also came with bok choy, leeks, green onions, and crispy onions. The crispy pork was my favorite-- perfectly crunchy and flavorful. Service: We were greeted right away and seated quickly. The staff speaks minimal English, but ordering was easy by pointing at the menu. Food came out fast! Ambiance: The restaurant is busy, with a line on the left for takeout. There are about eight tables and bar-top seating. Overall, the space is clean and has a modern feel. I'll definitely be back for more! :)

Came here on a saturday around 1pm and it was packed but was able to get a table right away. Went with the duck and roasted pork duck noodle soup as well as the char siu and roasted pork rice dish. The meats were so good and lived up to hype!! From the two dishes we enjoyed the rice dish more as you can get a better taste of the bbq'd meats and the pickled veggies go great with it. The soup in the noodle soup was light and aromatic. Our favorite cuts of meat ranked were 1) char siu 2) roasted pork 3) the roasted duck. Ultimately the char siu had such rich flavor and a good balance of fatty and meaty. The roast pork had a great five spice flavor with a crackling skin. Duck was good but nothing out of this world. we really liked that the meal started with a free soup as well. We will definitely be back for more!!

The line is long for a reason as there are lots of to go orders. I chose to dine in and once I got seated everything came out quick. I wanted to eat the pickled stuff and it looked like the soup noodle combos didn't come with it so I got a rice plate. I got the bbq pork and roast pork and they were both really good. They forgot my mustard greens and I wasn't sure if it came with them but it does. I got extra pickled jalapeños so it worked out in the end. The pork dishes were both super juicy and I liked the chili oil on the side too always have to add it. I would definitely come here again and make sure they include everything on my plate!

The service was super quick and friendly uncles and aunties. I really enjoy all the meats here and pickled mustard greens and jalapeños. The broth on the side helps cleanse the palate for more bites and the Vietnamese coffee is STRONG but delicious. After eating, the uncle persuaded me to get the chè (fruit cocktail dessert) and I wanted with durian and it was really good with fresh longan seeded! Never had to wait in line for this place but. Always my go to with my family when I visit!

Wow the food here is memorable! I definitely will be back. The only downfall is the language barrier and line. it would much faster if they had a better system. I got there and had to wait awhile to order to go, separate own mine, but once I got there had to have the person who could speak English and translate. This is what took long. The workers didn't seem to know what to do unless told directly. If they just that numbers on their menu then patrons could just say menu #1 and don't event have to say anything but that. Since the food and price is sooooooooo good, will be back nonetheless!!!

A hidden gem in Tacoma and super underrated!! Found out about this place from TikTok, and I am so glad I introduced my aunt here as well. The staff here was very friendly and kind helping my Aunt and I bulk order different meats alongside our lunch boxes. You can get a lot for the price that you pay. The lunch boxes were absolutely delicious and this is one of the best BBQ Pork I've had recently -- it was very soft and flavorful. I also really liked the cilantro and veggies paired with the rice dishes as well. We took our lunch boxes to-go but dined in to eat, so we received free complimentary soups since we sat in the restaurant. Overall, the food here was very good and it is now one of my Aunt and I's favorites in the Tacoma area. Their meat is packed with flavor and is very soft and fresh. It's located pretty close to her house too, so we will for sure be coming back soon the next time that I visit her. :)
