Pho King

Best pho in town hands town! Delicious broth, generous portion size and their tables have little pots of all the essential Vietnamese spicy and pickled things, just like in Vietnam. They also have good spring rolls, egg rolls, and noodle dishes but I can't stop eating pho when I come here so I rarely step out from that.

My grandma came here the other day and then brought us an order of the Banh Canh Cua (some sort of soup with bean sprouts, crab meat, shrimp, green onions, cha, and udon). The broth tasted light and clean. The shrimp was deveined and tasted so supple and delicious (not over cooked). I love the cooked beansprouts in it. The udon was hard to grab with chopsticks but tasted nicely cooked (not over nor under). Since we were home, I added some frozen dumpling and sliced celery and it tasted incredible all together. I would 1000% come back for this heartwarming soup on a cold day.

This is one of the only pho places (at least that I've been able to find) that serve the delicious glass noodles with their seafood noodle - every other place I've been only offers rice noodle or egg noodle. Their seafood glass noodle soup is my favorite dish here (I believe it's #26 or #28 depending if you want intestine or not). Their regular pho is also very good and what my husband orders. Their spring rolls are some of the freshest I have ever had and I am convinced they must roll them upon ordering. My kids got the shrimp fried rice which they thoroughly enjoyed. The only thing I was only ok about was the beef chow fun- while it wasn't terrible (it did have a good mix of veggies), I was not impressed with the chew and texture of the noodles for the chow fun. All in all an affordable dinner place that I'll regularly visit.

What a hidden gem. I have been living next to place for years and finally decided to check this place out. I thought it was another typical pho shop but this place actually specializes in hu tieu! I ordered the hu tieu nam Vang (rice noodle, dry version, soup on the side) order a large bowl for only $1 more! It was sooo good! So flavorful and portion size was perfect! If you're not a fan of hu tieu, they def got some other noodles dishes, rice dishes and appetizers as well! Staff here was so friendly! Can't wait to be back.

Such a great name for a business . Good pho, good service, and amazing authentic Vietnamese coffee to help you get that extra pick me up to get over that hump. Solid place for Vietnamese food.

Food was good! #35 Stir-fri noodles w/combination seafood was flavorful. Not too greesy like other restaurants. They include a sauce w/it similar to soy sauce. Also, had #10 Pho w/brisket & meatballs. Broth was flavorful & plenty of rice noodles! Good Stuff! Will return again!

Since my usual go to Pho restaurant has been under new non-Vietnamese ownership, I've been on the search for a new authentic Pho restaurant. This week, I tried Pho King, in the Vietnamese concentrated area of El Cajon Blvd. The restaurant is a lot larger than it looks from the outside, so if you see most of the tables taken, there is a whole left side unseen until you get in the doors. One of the first things I noticed was that the front doors were kind of dirty with lots of smudges on both sides of the glass. Not a great first impression, but not something to turn me away. The workers there seemed to be in their own world as we stood waiting to be seated. One server, a very young guy with very short hair, greeted us and sat us right away when he saw us. He ended up being our server for the meal and was wonderful. He was on top of bringing everything we ordered and in good time. I had asked for a bowl of Nuoc Beo (fatty broth) to accompany my Pho (as I always do) and he didn't forget to bring it out like most other restaurants do. I ordered my usual - Pho Gan Sach (Pho with tendon & tripe). They are extremely generous with the amount of tendon and tripe, which is not the case at many other Pho places I've eaten at as of late. My partner ordered the Pho Dac Biet (#9 on the menu). We usually order small, but decided to get large since we noticed that restaurants have recently shrunk the portions of their Pho. Well, it was quite a pleasant surprise to see that Pho King did not shrink their portions and were quite generous with the noodles and proteins. The large should have been labeled X-Large compared to other restaurants. No complaints here, since it is just $1 more for large. Both our Phos were good and boy, were we stuffed with the amount they served. I ended the meal with a durian shake, which was alright. There should have been more durian in the shake, but it wasn't bad. As much as I would come right back next time I crave Pho, I need to try other restaurants first. But I will definitely be back to Pho King again.

This is one of my Favorite PHO restaurants called " PHO KING " . I don't come here often during summer, but I dine here a lot during the winter season. Also, I come mostly at night here 'coz the parking here is so crazy in the day, especially since there's a water store close to it and a lot of people is stoping to get water here and they are double parking, it's so crazy! So night Time is always my Best shot to get a good parking here when the water store is closed.When we come here, we never try anything else here, but we get the same order every time:*PAN FRIED NOODLES With SEAFOOD. - Pan Fried Noodles, I really love this one, the Pan Friend Noodles are so CRUNCHY on the outside, but very soft on the inside, you can put your sauce and veggies and its all good together! * PHO SOUP - i don't know what it is called , my husband always orders this for himself , all i know its lots of meats ! * PORK NOODLE - This one is a DRY CLEAR PORK rice NOODLE with shrimp, fishball, squid, bbq pork, ground pork, and more. This is MY FAVORITE in this restaurant ! The Place is Clean, the Food is Flavorful, and the service is excellent, especially the old funny, friendly, spiky-haired old guy who works here, he is one of the Original servers here, but I keep forgetting his name, he is cool, you will know it's him when u visit the restaurant, he talks to the customers a lot :)

The food was one of a kind!!! So delicious. The service was so fast, and waiters were a kind. The restraunt was clean and there were a lot of tables. There are a lot of cute fish in a big fish tank.

One of my new favorites. The pho is so good. Place is authentic. Affordable was about $23 for two bowls of pho. The broth was so flavorful. I rarely finish the whole thing but I finished the small even wanted to lick the plate. Loved it and they have lots of food options. Even the pho had lots of options including beef, perk, chicken or seafood. Loved it already want to go back. Service was ok but it's also cause shortwave on workers- noticed it was one server for the whole place. Parking is good if you find a spot but parking is busy.
