    Dining area looks nice
    karina k.

    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.

    We absolutely love this place! It is very clean and refreshing, the staff makes you feel like family!! Their Pho is fabulous, I try to check out new ones, but really enjoy the basic. My boyfriend tries the steambuns last time and was a huge fan, we can never finish it and it heats up great!

    Most unusual Vietnamese food I've ever had. We ordered a Pho. Normally pho is served with beans sprouts, basil, cilantro, lime and jalapeño that you can throw in. This only came with LETTUCE and basil. NO bean sprouts, or cilantro, or lime. The vermicelli also had lettuce in it. Only that one slice of carrot for decor. The vermicelli had no flavor. I added pretty much every sauce on the table to add something to its blandness. The pork was also very fatty. The place was clean, but I would NOT eat here again for Vietnamese food.

    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.

    For the only pho restaurant in Grand Forks ND! I must say this place is pretty authentic! The soup base doesn't seem to be filled with MSG so it was really good. I ordered the special pho which is a mixture of all the meats: well done brisket, meatball, tendon, flank, rare steak, etc... All of these are added in the soup with cilantro and onion. they don't come with bean sprouts but lettuce. However, i don't really mind that because the lettuce was better anyways.

    The pho was good. It had a sweeter taste than normal, but I like mine like this anyway. It was a good thing I always do a taste test before adding sugar. The service was great. As soon as I walked in, they were polite and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely be going back.

    Stop by here on the way back to Minnesota, had their pho and it actually tase good. Clean clear broth, a hint of sweetness but overall a good bowl of pho. Their special large is not very big but I is enough for lunch. Would stop by again next time I'm in town. Service was good.

    Good news: KP is now accepting credit cards (min $15+)! Food is even better since the day they opened. It seems like they do read all the reviews and made few minor adjustments. Kudos. Bad news: They did increased the price (appox 10-20%). $12 for a special bowl of pho is a bit high but I can't complaint...I'm sure they had a valid reason..

    Spring rolls!

    Tried this place for the first time tonight! I got the well-done beef brisket pho and my boyfriend got the spicy beef pho. They were both amazing! So flavorful and delicious. 100% we will be back. They served it with a plate of basil, bean sprouts, limes, and jalapeños all of which I added to my pho along with the hoisin and sriracha sauces - yum!

    Coming from the West coast and growing up with Vietnamese food, King Pho was actually a pleasant experience! Our table ordered: - Pho well-done brisket - Pho meatball - Rice with grilled chicken - Rice with grilled pork The pho broth, noodles and vegetables smelled and tasted just like home! It was great! There could have been more brisket (+2.99 if you want extra) and was a little too chewy but I still enjoyed it. The others mentioned their food was pretty good as well. Overall, the quality met my expectations but the price could be debated for the portion size. I would still come back to try the other items, only wish they would transition into accepting cards rather than cash only!

    This hit the spot... Had the special pho and spring rolls to go, Nice to go box with plenty of accoutrement and that included bean sprouts lettuce rice noodles jalapeños Serriacha and hoisin with sliced white onions and chopped green onions... Great service as I pulled up and they made the order in just a couple minutes. Quite impressed with the place good job!!

    The best pho in Grand Forks according to my parents. I opted for rice noodle w/tofu and it was delicious. They take cards now- prices still ok for quality and spice! I like that it's perfect for to go- esp if you're busy or just stopping for a while in town.

    I was skeptical of this place at first because I'm from the west coast and we're big on Pho. But this place is top notch!

    Not worth the price. The pho was not robust or flavorful, and the scent was not appealing. I would not recommended.
