Pho Shiki

You do what you have to do when you can't find good pho in Bloomington. So I come here every chance I get when I'm in or near Columbus. We has a group of 7 people and no one complained about anything, and trust me, when I say that there were two big pho snobs in the group.

Good experience! Taste of pho is good but not five stars (adding the Siracha and oyster sauce will bring up the flavor). Servers are kind and area is clean. Not modern nor dirty, just a simple clean restaurant.

Celebrated a late birthday lunch for my son. He chose Pho Shiki in Columbus, Indiana. We have been there several times and agreed to his selection. I almost always get the Rare beef Pho as my entree. It remains one of my favorites right behind Number 1 Eggroll in Beech Grove, Indiana. The ingredients are always the freshest possible. We had two appetizers and two sushi rolls.The appetizers and entrees were very satisfying and delicious. The sushi is something I would not order again. Not bad but presentation was sloppy and taste was average. The entrees were all sensational. Service was awkward. The waitress that started with us and got our drinks was allowed to leave early. And it took a lapse in time before the person who allowed her to leave early, notified another server that we needed help. THIS ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A WAITRESS NOTICED MY LOOK OF DESPAIR AND INQUIRED. That server did an amazing job filling the gap. The management is weak as evidenced by the unprofessional communication between employees in ear shot of diners. Bottom line: Food great, Service ok, management and atmosphere is lacking.

I go to Pho Shiki a decent amount. I like the place. It's quiet and the staff are all very friendly and attentive. I usually get a sushi roll and teriyaki chicken with mushrooms and fried rice. It's always very good. My only complaint being the chicken is sometimes slightly over cooked, but I'd definitely rather that than undercooked. I will continue to eat here.

Amazing food! The Pho is to die for. And some of the best sushi in town! Clean quiet place to eat . I think it's one of the best places in town service is ok could be a little better but no big deal!!!

I got the well done, beef pho. My husband got the shrimp one. We both loved it!! Added a lot of sriracha to mine I love they they have them at the tables. The service was great! All the servers kind of work together and tag team so service is super good. And the speed of getting the food was very fast. It's not too loud in there and we were there during lunch time so I was pleased about that. My husband said he wants to go back again very soon and I agree!

I was disapppinted in this restaurant. I was hoping for great pho, being one of the few asian restaurants in Columbus. However, the food was not very fresh. My Viet iced coffee tasted like it was regular coffee moxed with some condensed milk, no strong Viet coffee flavor I had hoped for. Usually not a big deal but in aggregate with everything else it added to the negative revoew. The fried spring rolls were overly burnt which I'm guessing is from being frozen and refried. The veggies I got were old and not fresh (cucumber was not crunchy, and the pickled veggies were very old). What was presented as agedashi tofu was just some thinly fried tofu topped with sesame seeds and a side of chili sauce, instead of the traditional tsuyu sauce. Nothing close to what is considered agedashi tofu. The last thing negative thing i noticed was the beansprouts for my pho was black on the ends and again, not fresh. Perhaps it is inaccessability of fresh asian ingredients nearby but these things all negatively impacted my review. I did not try it but I was told the sushi was good by the people I ate with.

The service and atmosphere very nice. Multi- color lighting added to the dinning experience.

I was hoping to like this place a lot more than I did. You walk in, and there were boxes stacked everywhere. The place was not clean.I ordered the small pho. It was a very nice size for small. The broth was good and the vegetables were fresh. Where I had an issue was the shrimp. They were not deveined. I had to devein my shrimp before I put them into the broth. This was my first experience of a restaurant not serving deveined shrimp. The reason for the three star was the broth was tasty, and the service was quick.

Saturday my partner and I decided we wanted Asian food and stopped in at Pho Shake. We had been there many times and considered it one of our favorite eateries. The girl at the counter was engaged in something else, (not sure what, but it looked like she was counting money). She was covered in tattoos and piercings and ignored us. We waited for a few minuted and then decided that she didn't;t want our business. We left and likely will not return. Customer service is the only thing that sets restaurants apart and when someone like that is representing your business it sends a very bad message to potential customers. the basic rule of thumb is to acknowledge the customer and if elsewhere engaged simply ask them to kindly wait.
