Pho King

The Pho is fantastic! The shredded chicken is cooked perfectly and the deep flavors are memorable.

I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while and FINALLY, we went. It's very clean and nice on the inside. The guy that took care of us was super nice and kept making sure everything was ok. We started with spring rolls. They are good but a little pricey for 2 small rolls. We also got the steamed pork buns(bao). I highly recommend these. I'll go back for those alone. We finally got to the pho. He brought over 2 large bowls and a plate of bean sprouts, lime, jalapeño and fresh basil. Of course he brought hoisin sauce and sriracha (my fave). I got the bowl with beef, meatball, tripe and tendon. I think the tripe and tendon needed to be more tender but that's just me. My husband had the seafood and he loved it. Definitely a good place and with a name like PhoKing, you've just gotta check it out. LoL.

They don't include lime in their pho. I don't know how you can have pho without lime. Their seafood pho does not include beef broth, as they claim. Will not ever go back.

We came here for lunch and dinner at separate times, both times the pho was consistent and delicious. I got the beef pho both times, my husband got the brisket/tripe pho. I will say as someone who enjoys PHO often and has tried it many different places, this is good. You get the simple expected sides (bean sprouts, jalapenos, sriracha) etc. my only complaint would be the broth isn't very "deep" or you don't get a beef flavor, it's flavorful, but not a beef flavor as you'd want from a good beef broth pho. Service is always quick, the fried dumplings are amazing, the steam buns were just eh...but definitely a good bowl of pho here!!

Bottom Line, If I were in Kent I'd definitely stop for Pho again. The herbs, bean sprouts, and sides were all fresh and the Pho was very good. The summer rolls were just average, if they had spicy peanut sauce I'd order them again, but they do not. Next time I'll try the crispy spring rolls. They had a passion fruit soda that was phenomenal. I'm a sucker for passion fruit and this soda had real passion fruit in it. 5/5 on the soda. Grabbed a Vietnamese coffee for the road and it did not disappoint

Good broth but didn't like the meat. It was chewy. Also the spring rolls were burnt and had that burnt flavor. Service was alright though

Was looking for some good pho in the area, and this place was recommended above others by some friends who are local. It was an okay experience- it really did not live up to the hype that it was given. When you walk in, there is a very cute interior, and the ordering area was nicely decorated. I had no idea they sold whole coconut with the water inside until we walked in- and I had to try one! It was delicious and I would definitely not pass up the opportunity to try this. For our meals, we ordered the chicken pho, pork chop pho, steamed pork buns, and the pork gyoza. The best part of the meal was the pork buns and the gyoza for sure! Both were bursting with flavor! For the pho, you did not get that much for what you paid for, and the to go containers were difficult to maneuver and oddly enough did not fit most of the food since the broth comes separately from the contents of the bowl. The broth was also on the bland side and was nothing special. Additionally, we ordered carryout, and it took 1 hour instead of the 25 minutes they told us, which was mildly annoying since we were not given any updates about our order while waiting there. In the future, I definitely will try dining in to see if the experience is any better!

This place was great! So clean and cute atmosphere. The food was actually so great and my brother and I left feeling full. I didn't care much for my sea food pho, maybe because it was kind of minty and I personally didn't care much for the squid, which kind of tasted flavorless and squishy. I probably would've rather gotten the beef pho. Everything else was honestly great thoughSadly they do not have a tofu or vegan friendly option for the pho at all. Even the seafood pho has beef stock I believe. My favorite dish was probably the pork buns. They were served very hot and exceeded my expectations. We will probably be back sometime! My brother ordered basically the beef pho. He enjoyed a seaweed salad (vegan), summer rolls (not vegan). The spring rolls have egg in them and same with the dumplings in case you're vegan.

literally the best pho I have had! no place compares between Akron, Kent, Columbus, and Cleveland!! Will miss going every week!

Excellent Pho! I had the chicken pho and my husband had the pork pho...Both were Very Good! I would Definitely recommend
