Pho King Restaurante Vietnamita — Restaurant in Mexico City

Came to eat as a large group. The food tasted so good the group decided to come back the next night to eat again. I personally would have gone to another Pho King location in the city. There are 3 to choose from. But oh well. The food was really good the first night but the second night I think the grease started to show being old. The eggrolls were not as crunchy and the grease was pretty obvious. If we hadn't eaten the first night it would've been ok. Nothing to compare. In general the food tasted pretty good tho. The staff had a hard time servicing our large group mainly because of language barriers. Luckily we could speak/read Vietnamese so we knew what to order. All the staff only knew Spanish. The mango salad was fresh. Not as flavorful as other places but still good. I really liked the pho suon bo (oxtail). The mien ga (thin clear noodles) was not as good as I was hoping. The noodles were a lot bigger than expected for that dish. They used the wrong noodles. The combo fried rice was a little light on flavors but I was hungry so it did the trick. It's on the lighter side of flavors but just enough to make it to good. Eggrolls were the best (first night) second night not so good. For service it's a hit or miss. We ordered first because our group was large and we hoped ordering first would get our food out first but instead they keep giving our dish to another table but still in our group. We ordered first but got our food almost last. There is no system to bringing out the orders. As you can guess, lots of confusion, specially with language barrier included. Total chaos. Still it was fun...

I was here over the weekend for lunch. Service was friendly, efficient and on point. The place is also very clean. The food seems fairly authentic (having lived in LA and San Fran with large Vietnamese communities, I’ve had my share of Vietnamese food).

I had the bao to start and the asparagus & beef with steamed rice. I should’ve had the Pho! I know. 🙄 Next time. I live right down the street from this place so I’ll be back.

Everything was quite tasty but they missed the mark on the rice! 🍚 Yes, the rice. :-/ It was overcooked and hard on the edges. Booo. It’s also quite expensive for Mexico City and for what you get. However, the food is decent so if you’re having a craving for Vietnamese food, this is a place to try every now and again to quench the...

Whenever in Cdmx I try to enjoy the local street food as much as I can but after awhile- you need your burger, Italian or Asian fix. When it’s time I head over to pho king in condesa. While not 100% authentic as they don’t provide basil and other herbs, it’s close enough. I say Pho king condesa because even when I’m closer to the pho king in zona Rosa, I come here because of the service. The staff are awesome here compared to the rude and inept service at the Florencia zona Rosa location. I’ve even spoken with the owners but they don’t seem to care that the Mexican lady manager is rude and inept.

Do yourself a favor and just eat in Condesa as it’s...
