Queen Of Phở — Restaurant in Joplin

I was optimistic about this place because of the great reviews, and they did not disappoint! Everyone was very friendly, and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant and inviting, to the extent that I actually enjoyed the 15 minutes I waited for my carry-out order (I placed my order after I arrived). When we got home (about 20 minutes away), we discovered that they had accidentally given my husband the wrong dish (similar ingredients, different final product). I called, and they were very apologetic and offered to give us the correct dish at no charge the next time we come in.... and we will definitely be going back! My dish was exactly what I ordered (chicken yakisoba), and it was exceptional! The chicken was tender, the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious!! And although my husband was disappointed that he didn't get his chicken fried rice, he still thought everything tasted really good (we think it was probably a "rice plate" with chicken). Now he's even more eager to try the "right" dish. Also noteworthy: both dishes were still piping hot when we got home, and the portions were enormous! I honestly can't wait to go back! EDIT: We ordered takeout again tonight (3rd time) and it was beyond disappointing. I threw away my meal (yakisoba again) after just 3 bites because it was so awful. The noodles were half chewy, half mushy, and all stuck together in one solid clump. The chicken was tough and dry and the broccoli was raw. If they hadn't already credited us for a meal one other time, I would have called and asked for a refund. On a positive note, my husband's meal was wonderful! I'm really hoping this was just an off night, or maybe I came too early (immediately after work at 5pm) and was given leftover noodles from lunch. Either way, we’ll absolutely give them another chance sometime - and I'm only knocking off one star - based solely on how great they were the...

My husband and I discovered an extraordinary culinary gem during our recent stay at a nearby hotel, just a three-minute stroll away, thanks to a quick search on Google Maps for local dining options. This charming restaurant immediately caught our attention, and it did not disappoint. We began our meal with perfectly steamed edamame and an egg roll that was nothing short of exceptional—crisp, tender, and bursting with vibrant, well-balanced flavors, crafted to perfection.

For my entrée, I indulged in the Pho Queen, elevated with an extra portion of short rib. The ribs were a revelation, so tender they practically melted off the bone, infusing the fragrant, soul-warming broth with rich, savory depth. My husband opted for the Korean BBQ plate, which was equally delightful, showcasing bold flavors that left us both thoroughly impressed. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting—simple yet impeccably clean, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that enhanced our dining experience.

We left utterly satisfied, already eager to return and share this hidden treasure with others. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable meal in a...

Ummm....YUM!!

Had heard bout this spot after my last Pho-Xperience and it did not disappoint.

The #pho was fantastic!! I had the chicken and shrimp and both meats were tender and delicious, esp when paired with the pepper sauce. 😋

For testing purposes, I there in a spring roll which was crispy, hot, and excellent as well!

An overall pleasant atmosphere. All the music is covers of pop songs, which was a little jarring at first with me trying to remember ever having "heard this version before".

The bathroom smelled great ( which shouldn't need to be a compliment but it is ) and was very clean and well decorated.

I tried to call out the queen but she "wasn't here" that's when I started doing some investigatory work and really tested the locals on whether the queen was really real.

They say she is, buuu.... 🤔 I dunno if I'm buying it 🤷🏼‍♂️.

TLDR; food was delicious and the atmosphere was as well! If you enjoy pho, this place is primo.
