In the East Bay, there was ONE spot that did hot and sour soup in a phenomenal way and here comes Liu Mandarin to send my taste buds into shock and awe. I had the pork dumplings last time too. Two thumbs up. Despite the poor review, I got the walnut shrimp this time around, and I must say-- I wholeheartedly disagree that its mid. The shrimp were super flavorful. Not a crunch, but I rarely find a crunchy walnut shrimp so I'm not hung up on the texture. Just got the beef and broccoli-- fabulous! So fresh i ate the entire order in one sitting. Id absolutely get it again. I was hesitant to order the first time around, but now I can definitively say I've found my local go-to chinese restaurant.

Funny part? Even he had never been there. Well, that little story stuck with me. Fast forward a few weeks. My road trip partner, Koda, and I are heading home from Disneyland, cutting through Sacramento toward Grass Valley. We roll into Auburn and BOOM there it is. Pho King Good. Now let's just take a second to appreciate that name. If you're gonna swing for the fences with a name like Pho King Good, you've set the bar about as high as Mount Everest. You don't get to be "pretty decent." You'd better make me question every bowl of pho I've ever eaten. The sign? Absolutely iconic. It practically jumps out and hollers at you from the side of the road. Easy in, easy out. Road-tripper approved. Walking inside, though, I was expecting a little more "Pho King Palace" and a little less "we've been meaning to remodel since the Clinton administration." The marble counter looked nice enough, but the place just felt like it needed a little love. If I owned a restaurant with a name that good, I'd lean into it. Give me lanterns. Give me atmosphere. Make me feel like the King just walked in. Charge me another couple bucks if you have to I wouldn't mind if the experience matched the name. Then came the menu. It felt a little like Dysfunction Junction. They had everything listed, but it wasn't organized in a way that made ordering easy. Give me sections. House Pho. Beef Pho. Chicken Pho. Special Pho. Help a hungry traveler out. The food? Solid... right down the middle of the road. After hours in the car, a hot bowl of pho hits the spot no matter what. Koda really enjoyed his chicken dish, and our vegetable egg rolls with the peanut sauce were decent, although the wrapper was just a touch on the rubbery side. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which always counts for something. My only real disappointment was this: with a name like Pho King Good, I expected to leave saying, "That's the best pho I've ever had." Instead, I left saying, "That was... good." And then came the plot twist. Time to pay. Cash only. So now I'm walking out to the ATM like I'm making a withdrawal for a back-alley poker game or a dispensary run. I'm standing there thinking, "Well... this tip just took a hit because I wasn't planning on paying an ATM fee for my noodles." I still don't quite understand it. You're giving change, printing receipts, running a business... we're already 95% of the way to taking cards! Overall, this wasn't about whether the food was amazing or terrible. It was about the experience. Sometimes that's the story worth telling. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably. Because sometimes a bowl of pho, your best buddy Koda riding shotgun, and a restaurant with the greatest pun in California are all you really need. And if they ever decide to polish the place up and make it live up to that legendary name... It might just become Pho King Great.

They have an expansive menu with lots of options, and the lunch specials are a great value at under $15. The lunch special includes a house salad, rice, your choice of lunch dish, and even a tapioca pearl dessert. The flavors were really good, and the portions were generous. Everything came out fresh and satisfying, and there are definitely several other dishes on the menu I want to come back and try. The restaurant is located in an area with several other businesses, so the shared parking lot can fill up during busy times. Overall, a great Thai restaurant with good food, generous portions, friendly service, and lunch specials that are hard to beat. Definitely worth checking out!

First off, if you're coming for dinner, the servings are large and designed for family style sharing of dishes. We went with my mom, my wife and me and the three of us are not huge eaters (but we love our Chinese food). So if you're in a smaller group, be ready for leftovers. The prices reflect the portion sizes so while $19/dish seems a little pricey, you're getting 3-4 servings per dish so reasonable. If you want to try out multiple dishes, bring 4-6 people! Okay, ranking what we had. The potstickers were fantastic - a plate of 6 and each potsticker was HUGE and very flavorful.. Some of the best potstickers we've had. The hot and sour soup was okay - again a small bowl serves 3 people. The BBQ ribs were just okay. The beef and broccoli was very good, well cooked and well seasoned. Finally the honey glazed prawns was enjoyable. The service was a little hit and miss, we could have used a little more hovering once we got our food to get items like knifes to cut the ribs and prawns but they did a very nice job of packaging up our leftovers and were helpful with my mom using her walker. So pretty good, all in. Mom went there for lunch and the lunches were designed for more, single person/portion dishes so if we go back, it would probably be for lunch.
