King Pho

Came here once. Never again. Waitress was nice but owner unfriendly. Just staring and no hello and welcome and no goodness or enjoying greeting customers even tho I was right in her face. I ordered shrimp vermicelli noodles and all it had was days old and overcooked hard shrimp and cucumber slices, lettuce, and carrot slices and so little of it that o asked for a side of bean sprouts and basil leaves like my friend got with her beef pho. The owner charged me $2 for this by the way even tho my dish of $14.99 came with barely any veges. The picture shows the noodle dish with me after adding my request of sprouts and basil leaves. Otherwise it would be pretty bare bones. They gave me the sweet and sour sauce it comes with but too little so my noodles had no taste and I had to ask for more sauce. Then my girlfriends dish was the beef brisket pho and the picture is accurate to what it came like from the start…mostly broth and noodles and barely any meat. She didn’t care for her basil and sprouts much so I added hers to my barebones shrimp noodle dish which is why mine looks a bit more colorful. She ordered 2 shrimp spring rolls and there was barely any shrimp and barely big enough to fill up on 2 for $6.99 and it came with a thick peanut sauce only even tho rolls taste good with both this and the sweet and sour sauce but she only got peanut sauce. So after chewing the hard shrimp that came to my dish cold, little sauce that I had to ask for more sauce, being charged $2 for some sprouts and basil to add to my measly noodle dish of old shrimp With cucumbers and lettuce and carrots, then tipping the waitress 15% to be nice, my meal or $18 was simply not worth it. To add to that the lack of warmth of the owner was off putting. I will find another Vietnamese place in Grand forks when I am desperate. Took me 6 months to try my first Vietnamese place and this is what I got so I am not expecting much from the other ones honestly. Better to just cook at home and buy frozen shrimp from Walmart and make the noodles and sauce myself and add veges. Note…as I mentioned, I had to ask for the basil and bean sprouts which they charged me $2 extra for which I have never been charged in my entire life of eating out for a quarter of a century in Europe and half the 50 United States at a Vietnamese place. Vegetarian options: Not much here in this realm unless you are ok w seafood Parking: Easy parking in the mall lot Kid-friendliness: It’s big enough for kids to be loud and sit in high chairs Wheelchair accessibility: Big enough to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers

I want to support this restaurant But 15.99 per bowl is no problem if the portion wasn’t ridiculously small. Pretty disappointed because it doesn’t seems fair to customer with 2 bowls with 1 tea and an 2 pieces spring rolls ended up spent $50 before tip not full. Not to mention it’s pretty obvious they reuse the not so fresh condiments veggies you lucky you would get basil or beans sprouts, I got a piece of super dried iceberg lettuce They would still make a sale I’m sure. That’s because they are the only one in town.

Ordered carryout. Got the combo fried rice with no vegetables. Food was obviously overcooked as shown in the picture attached. They always skimp out on the shrimp, but I noticed they skimped out on the portion of the entire meal. I also found a hair attached to the overcooked shrimp in the pic, but I removed it. I don't know if it was a bad day or something, but I'm weary of going back.

Pho was great, just really really wish the lighting wasnt so harsh and there was some echo mitigation. Some tapestries or audio foam would do wonders in making it so someone watching a video on their phone 30 feet away didnt become a group experience, you can literally hear every pot and utensil picked up and set down across the room. Also, please take notes from the mcdonalds across the street for warm lighting. Felt like I was sitting under highbeams. Food was good though.

Food was delicious, waitress was on point. Both myself and my daughter absolutely loved the pork steamed buns and the pho was great.Food: 5/5

The food was great. I am happy we have a restaurant that serves pho near by. I was disappointed by the garnishes especially for the price. We only were given a lot of lettuce, two quarters of a lime and cilantro.Food: 5/5

First day in town so I decided to stop here to grab my dinner for the day as it was a chilly day for this southerner. As I walked in the restaurant was empty and one of the waitresses I’m assuming was sleeping on the chairs. Which made me wonder what the heck have I walked into. I was skeptical at first but tired from the flight and then hour drive so i decided to just give it a chance. I would say I’m glad I did as the food was amazing great tasting food full of flavor. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for some good PHO.

Ordered a pho with beef and meatballs. Ordered a spicy beef pho. Ordered fresh spring rolls. The bill was Over 45.00. Wasn't worth it. Broth Wasn't great and I eat pho all the time, I got a few basil leaves, no cilantro. I added my own in. One slice of a jalapeno. Maybe 8 pieces of green onion and omg I got 7 pieces of bean sprouts. Are you kidding me??? The spicy beef, had nothing to go with it but noodles. We will not go back. The girl who was behind the counter was not friendly either.

Great place eat some Pho. Prices were in line with any other Pho place that I have ate at in the past. Service was prompt and food came out fast. The Pho tasted average. I've had better and I've had worse. Spring wills were very well done as well. Overall I would certainly recommend King Pho to anyone in the Grand Forks area.

Fine meal, pho is a great welcome in these parts; very spacious restaurant, great for a large family/gathering.Food: 4/5
