Yesterday I tried King Pho for the first time. But my experience was very weird. I met my friends there exactly at 6pm. As soon as I walked in, I didn't feel welcome. The personnel acted as they didn't want us there. We were the only occupied table in the restaurant. They wanted us to order very fast, before we had the chance to read the menu. The food came 30 minutes later and the Pho was really good. Definitely the quality and freshness was the best in town. I engaged in a great conversation with my friends. After 7pm a young man started interrupting our conversation, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. At 7:30pm he came to us really upset telling us to leave. He told the same to the couple on the only other occupied table. We went upfront and paid, but stayed inside near the door to finish our conversation. At 7:40pm the guy and the owner pushed us out and locked the door. This is given that everywhere, including according to Google, the restaurant closes at 8pm. This is an experience I never got in another place. I don't think I will visit...
Read moreThe food was good I ordered the ground shrimp wonton, beef spring rolls, pho and spicy soup. The pho broth was light, refreshing and had good flavor it wasnt over powered by star anise liek alot of places they give you plenty of meat and noods, the beef spring rolls lettuces was fresh and crispy the beef was tinder the vinegar sauce that comes with it is light and but still had that background zing to it, the ground shrimp wonton was a favorite they where super crispy and hot the shrimp had all the flavor with absolutely no fishy smell just talking about them I want more. The atmosphere was dark, stuffy, aged and unkept a really good cleaning would likely livin it back up. The service was slow and unpredictable the server kept going out side to smoke so refills on drinks only happened one unfortunately. I likely wont eat in again due to service and the atmosphere but the food is good and with fresh ingredients so we'll definitely...
Read moreSuch a lovely experience! I recently moved to Michigan from the Twin Cities (where there's an authentic pho place on every corner) and imagine my surprise when the closest Viet place was 30 minutes away!
I got the same Christmas cold everyone else has gotten, so I took myself 30 minutes to see if this place had a little bit of the magic the pho back home did.
I was greeted immediately with a smile and warm welcome from Steve. The seating comfortable and evenly spaced apart, and the lighting not too bright not too dark. The menu had the same familiar favorites and gave a wide variety without being overwhelming.
The food was phenomenal. I walked in with a cold, I'm walking out magically healed. Their pho was amazing. The tables were adorned with all of the fixings. I recommend trying the broth first, but anything you could wish to add is available.
Thanks for making me feel...
