Phở Kietzke — Restaurant in Reno

I've been wanting to stop by here for the last 6 months or longer and I finally came here for dinner. It wasn't special. The older lady at the cash register greeted me with a smile 😊, she asked if I was dining in or order to go and when I said to go she gave me a menu and let me sit anywhere (I think they have 2 different menus since the one I got to go didn't have any drink options but the one on google maps has Thai iced tea and other beverages). I am ready to order and I figured she would come to the table where I sat but instead she waved me up to the register. I walk over and place my order, sit back down and when another two customers walk in and order for dining in she sits them at a table gives them a menu and walks over to them to take their order(see the difference in ordering styles).

I get the combination plate which has shrimp, beef and chicken with veggies and it isn't anything special either. Plane boiled noodles that don't have any taste. There were 6 shrimp 🦐 with the tails on, plenty of chicken pieces and 5 pieces of beef cubes that were very greasy.

I wouldn't discourage a visit here, but I personally wouldn't return. This also wouldn't be a place where I'd bring visiting friends or family to treat them for dinner. It...

Came in on a semi-slow Tuesday afternoon. No music, quiet restaurant, tables looked clean but was sticky. Pork and rice dish was good. Pork was on the sweeter side but had a good char and our son loved it. However, rice did have some hard bits. Combo fried rice was good, nothing too stand out. Combo pho (Not pictured) was just okay. Had a strong cardamom and star anise flavor/scent that was quite over powering. Hu tieu was worth the price considering how much meat and toppings you get. Broth definitely needed fish sauce, lime and sambal. *Note: The shrimp was a good size and looked fresh, but tasted old as if its been left out for too long. Service was mediocre at best. Owner (women) was very friendly though and made conversations with my husband when he went up to pay. However, I believe they charged us a little more than calculated as our 4 dishes total was exactly $64.00, so just be mindful of that. Overall, good experience, but nothing...

Pho is high Quality

I can only speak to the take-out service, Pho dish and spring roll. Upon entering the establishment, I was immediately greeted with a smile, offered a menu and a place to sit. I told them that I was just ordering take-out, but they insisted on seating me to a table and offered a glass of water while I waited for my order. I appreciated the service.

I waited for a total of 5-10 minutes for my 2 orders of Pho and 2 LARGE spring rolls (shredded beef/pork). It included silverware, chopsticks, napkins, oyster sauce, fish sauce, separate bowls for the broth, separate containers for the pho “stuff” and 2 springs rolls.

The Pho broth was delicious, and I added the included jalapenos, cilantro, lime and oyster sauce for additional flavor. The spring rolls were large and full of flavor, but my particular palate didn’t enjoy the “shredded” meat. Next time I think I’ll order the normal...
