Pho King

My girlfriend showed me this place about a year ago. I’ve never even eaten Vietnamese food before. This is the actual best place I’ve ever been too in midtown. The quality of each dish seems to out-due the last one. I promise I’ve been trying as many dishes as I can to test how well Pho King decides to bring perfection to each plate that is put in front of me. The effort that is being pushed out from that kitchen is above and beyond the standard and we always leave this establishment satisfied and happy with how kind it was to our pockets!

Went to this restaurant for lunch, it was great! Not all pho restaurants have vegetarian/vegan options available. However, this restaurant has "real" vegetarian/vegan noodle soup or pho with vegetable broth or beef or chicken like some other places. Everything was tasty and delicious. Would recommend the vegetable noodle soup for vegetarians. I also had a jackfruit bubble tea, which was also delicious. There's not many places you can find jackfruit. Was so excited when I saw it on the menu. All menu options are reasonably prices. I would say this place should have an option for everyone. Vegetarian/vegan options available on menu. Modifications to menu items also available upon request. Restaurant definitely family/kid friendly. Some may find it difficult to find parking depending on the time of the day. Paid street parking located right in front of the restaurant, availability varies. There's also a parking structure located in the back of the restaurant which most likely is paid parking.

Their service is timely and non instrusive and their portion sizes are very generous. I got a large pho combo which came with all the beef options except the meatballs which I didn't really want anyways. The stock broth on first taste was not bad. Although it was a bit salty, the depth was not too shallow and there was enough flavor to satisfy the minimum of being a decent broth. The Sriracha helped pull the saltiness together but did not completely alleviate the saltiness. On the other hand, the noodles were pretty good, not too weak where you pull and they snap and they did not clump together either nor were they too chewy. The meat selection was very good as well. They were not pre-marinated, allowing for the broth and other ingredients to add flavor to the well cooked parts. The brisket, however, was a bit tough but nothing too offensive. One thing I would mention is that they add onions and cilantro as default so you should also them to be separate if they are not your preferred additions to the pho. Also, the bean sprout quantity is a bit lacking but you can always ask for more. For the price and all other factors, I will definitely be visiting more often as this place beats out the other options I have tried before.

I come here so often, they remember my order. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and they never disappoint! I recommend the Pho Tai or the R4 beef plate. Their bubble teas are also very good, i always get the mango one but i have tried others and those are good too. The prices are very cheap and The service is quick so I’m always in and out.

We tried the shrimp pho, steak & chicken/shrimp pho; all were good. Not a big fan of the spring roll because it was cold and difficult to chew. It was my first time trying so I can’t say it was bad just not what I expected. Will be back for the pho soon. Also very quick service even with the contrast flow of new diners and delivery pick ups.
