I had Pho Beef Special and the broth here is very clear and light. Not too oily or salty. The service is very fast. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall and a little out of site but easily the best Pho in Kansas City. My favorite is the Rice Noodle Soup with Sirloin Steak and the egg rolls are excellent. Their soup bowls come in medium and large. I get the medium because it is more than enough for two meals. Love this place! read more

Awesome and delicious go get some! Great pho and shrimp rolls. Atmosphere is understated but comfortable. Great on a cold winter day.

Pretty good food. I think we're gonna come back to try other items on the menu since the menu was larger. The staff was super friendly as well :-) read more

Pho Good - Korean bbq rice noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Shawnee, Kansas

Pho soup tasted weird and bland and the "steak" meat was very tough and not tender at all like how it is in most pho. The service was good which is why I bumped it up to two stars. read more

Really enjoyed our meal. Zero complaints, it was exactly what we wanted on a cold evening.

Great veggie pho, excellent service I have eaten here a couple of times and the food is consistent I will probably eat here for lunch on a weekly basis, delicious, healthy and affordable read more

we ate here after a yelp search. it did not disappoint. we enjoyed the pho ga (chicken pho) and the beef sirloin pho. the flavor was wonderful. we also ordered the lemongrass chicken to share. i didn't taste a whole lot of lemongrass but the dish was very good! we will return read more

This is the best Pho and Vermicelli place in KC! I have been ordering from them the past couple of days and the food is incredible. It is fresh and they safely package everything! I feel safe eating from this restaurant and I encourage everyone to eat from them! There broth is also very nourishing and keeping me healthy read more

Found my go-to Pho place!! The price is right and it was solid Pho. I was getting over a horrible cold and wanted something to help, so we stopped in. The server was nice and it didn't take long to get our food. I had the seafood Pho and it was my first time having a fish ball--interesting, but good. The imitation crab isn't really a good choice for the soup. I'd be willing to pay more for real crab. Or they should omit the crab all together. read more

The hunt to try all of the Pho spots in KC continues. Pho Good used to be off of Shawnee Mission Parkway but they've since moved to a much larger location in Shawnee. $9.81 for a combo pho and the bowl size was pretty standard. The egg rolls had a nice crunch to them as well. Check them out if you're ever out in KS! read more

Best pho in Kansas City I have been spoiled! If you don't like pho the curry chicken is good and also the chicken wings have an AMAZING sauce that go with it. read more

We tried this place out with a Groupon voucher. Portions are huge and definitely shareable. The pho was alright but nothing special. The lemongrass chicken was tasty, but didn't have a potent or unique flavor. It had the generic sweet-umami taste of most Asian chicken dishes. Service was good and staff was friendly. read more

Pho Good - Vietnamese Near Me - Shawnee, Kansas

Pho Good is not exactly as the name implies: it's not good pho, certainly not GREAT pho, but it's decent pho that is passable most nights. We came here on a bitterly-cold winter night in dire need of a hot bowl of soup. We're frequenters of iPho Tower up in the Westport area but decided we needed to branch out of our pho comfort zone. As we walked in, we noticed a decent mix of races here which is generally a good sign for ethnic restaurants. Rest assured, the authenticity of Pho Good is not in doubt. The food, however, was not up to par. SPRING ROLLS: We ordered spring rolls as an appetizer and they were solid. I could tell they were probably made much earlier in the day, since the skin of the roll is much harder and more chewy than fresh spring rolls. Most Vietnamese places pre-make their spring rolls and keep them covered in the fridge, which is what I'm suspecting Pho Good did--but they probably weren't replaced as the day went on due to slow business (would be my guess). I'm a sucker for spring rolls so I thought they were still decent, but the lack of freshness certainly took it down a notch. PHO: We both ordered pho (cause I mean, you gotta go with the dish that's in the restaurant title...RIGHT?!)--her the steak pho and me the combination pho- and both were solid but nothing mind-blowing. Surprisingly, the broth came out warm rather than hot, much to our displeasure. The temperature reminded me of under-microwaving a bowl of canned soup rather than not heating up fresh soup on the stove long enough--NOT a good look. Soup temperature aside, the meat was good and the broth was tasty, but neither were anything to hit home about. iPho Tower gives you twice the amount of meat with a less MSG-infused broth at a soup temperature much more conducive to good-tasting soup. TL;DR: I'm being harsh here and could probably dine at Pho Good multiple times a week if I needed to, but it isn't on my priority list when I'm craving some tasty pho on a cold winter night. As always, I'll revisit this place at some point and update my review accordingly if my experience changes. read more

My bowl of vermicelli, steak, pork and shrimp was delicious! The waitress instructed me to pour the side dressing all over the dish, which I did. She encouraged me to use some sriracha, too, which I added. The egg roll was very good. I enjoyed my visit and the roomy seating. Service was pleasant and super helpful and friendly. read more

Food was exceptional as always. However, our waitress did not wear a mask. Even when we asked/inquired about it she said "I know we are supposed to, but I took mine off." Also, they are not socially distancing any costumers. We had people eating in the booths on both sides of us. I as well saw other employees not wearing masks. This entire meal I've felt very uncomfortable and unsanitary. *it is Kansas Law that employees of restaurants are required to wear masks. https://www.kcmo.gov/city-hall/departments/health/coronavirus-covid-19-kcmo-information-and-response/reopen read more

My husband and I went here for the first time last night. I wish I had taken pictures but we ate it all and then remembered! It is a very clean and budget friendly place. I had beef pho and it was filled with meat and flavor! The broth was amazing! My husband had the pho special. He said it was his favorite food now.....even above tacos! Give it a try! You won't regret it! We will be back again and again! read more

Make sure you guys watch your bill!! Food is not worth the price. On top of it, I got charged with tax for EACH of the item I ordered Instead of my entire bill together. Not a fan. read more

I've only been once, and I'm already in love!! I had the shrimp spring rolls and the vermicelli with egg roll and shrimp. I think the most amazing part of it all was the sauce that came with the spring rolls. Divine. I took my food with me. Carry out was my only option yesterday, due to work demands. The restaurant looks pretty comfy though, and plenty of space for large crowds. I'll be back again soon to sample more from this little gem! read more

Great food! Seems to be very authentic, I wouldn't honestly know. My wife and I split the rice noodles with steak along with the chicken curry.. the curry had some wonderful spice and the Pho was hot and flavorful with plenty of noodles to compliment the half gallon of broth. you certainly get your money worth here! If you can get past the simple interior and small staff you will walk away full and satisfied! We would recommend this to anyone who wants to try new food. read more

I don't know if you have tried Pho before but it's badass. It's hard to find this place because it's right in between Walmart and some other shop a little further back but worth stopping by. I had the Pho Special and a lychee bubble drink. That drink was amazing. So damn good! The Pho was pretty good! The place was a little dirty, sticky soy sauce holders but it was worth it. Hit the spot. I liked it and I hope you check it out. I'm gonna try some other Pho places around but if you are in the area, get in there and have a bowl of Pho. Definitely check out the bubble drinks. So tasty! read more

Ordered delivery for dinner. Food was delicious and well prepared. Still warm by the time it arrived to my house. I ordered the chicken pho, steak pho and the seasoned pork bun. All was delicious! Looking forward to eating inside the restaurant soon! read more

Place was super neat. I order pick up but next time I might eat there. The food was delicious. I got the beef Pho. It was delicious! The shrimp spring rolls are good too and the peanut sauce was amazing! Definitely a good spot to grab Pho! read more

So I tried to figure out how I managed to be the Duchess of this place on Yelp without posting a review and the only thing I can come up with is that I seriously have fallen behind on getting places reviewed. My Bad! Anyway lets get to the review!! So I ended up coming here about a year or so (I think??? Sorry it's been a while!) ago when I wanted pho and there weren't a lot of options near by. I always order their combination pho every time my boyfriend and I come...which in the last month has been...well, a lot. They've gotten to know us (and our orders) pretty well. But I digress, back to the review...everything comes out relatively quickly - even when busy. The veggies that come out are always fresh and look fantastic. I've never had a problem with their service, busy or fairly empty, they are always on top of everything! I'll definitely be back (most likely in the next week :P). read more

Sadly, this is not the spot for Vietnamese Pho. Bought a Groupon for this place. I ordered Pho Good special and Bun Bo Hue. Both soups were flavorless. I also order Nem nuong rolls. The rolls were okay too. I'm not too mad at them. I'll try the rice plates next time. People cannot mess up rice plates. 2 stars for the food, 1 extra star for he service. The servers were nice. read more

I've only had food from there once, carryout that my friend bought me. I'd never try it on my own, so I'm glad she did! I really liked it.

Good, generic Midwest pho. Very friendly staff. I got the veggie pho. Good prices and vegetarian friendly.

I really wanted to like Pho Good, but the food was bland and not nearly as good as Vietnam's Cafe. I had spring rolls and a soup dish with meat and pork blood in it. I was disappointed that the spring rolls weren't as large as the ones I've eaten nearly everywhere else (including Vietnamese restaurants in other cities). They also weren't rolled especially tight (but not as bad as the ones at iPho Tower). I liked the premise of the soup. It had a couple of different kinds of meat and sliced pork blood. The broth just wasn't very flavorful. The service was excellent. The young woman who waited on me was very helpful. If not for her, Pho Good would have rated just two stars. read more

Flavor is good ... don't like that there's no gluten free options... never went back ... I will go if they change there menu to gluten free.. We t back one lady time to go d it another try .. the waiter said the pho is gluten free . I ordered it and nope it's not gluten free !!! Got sick from the gluten intolerance!!!! So don't lie about the gluten free !!! People get sick with gluten !!!! read more

Excellent Vietnamese food and courteous service. I had beef, shrimp and noodle combination with a side of fish sauce and egg roll. I would highly recommend the restaurant. read more

I am Hmong (SE Asian) and I love pho. In fact, I've visited most of the pho joints around town and have pho at home often. Here's my opinion: Sweet potato fries: A little too oily? The soup: A little too bland? The noodles: A little too parched? The service: Maybe some multicultural/American cultural training? read more

This place is unassuming on the outside, but once you're inside the atmosphere takes you to a magical place overflowing with pho! Husband and I both ordered the beef pho and it was fantastic. Broth was super flavorful and nice and hot! This is the perfect comfort food! We also ordered a side of egg rolls and those didn't taste very good- they tasted like the frozen egg rolls you get from your local grocery store. We don't recommend them. However, the pho was so good that it totally made up for the egg rolls, and thus, winning a 5 star review. read more

Nothing like a big ol' bowl of pho on a cold blustery day. I thought it was decent, but it didn't pack the flavor I was expecting, and I've had my share of pho. The noodles were cooked well, but it could have had a bit more of meat to it. Maybe it was just the batch I got, because it seems other Yelpers were impressed with the broth. The vermicelli with pork and egg roll was really good, as well as the spring rolls. There isn't much of a friendly personable vibe to the place. We were escorted to our table with nary a word said to us after a brief wait. Our server was fine, but didn't seem thrilled to be there. Everybody has those days though. All said and done, I'll be back. It is the closest pho place to me. I just hope there's a bit more of a flavor punch to the broth the next time, and a few more smiles (at least one) about the place. read more

Perhaps my first visit to Pho Good was simple but I was impressed. I didn't order a large meal but I'm a regular to Vietnam Cafe near the City Market, which is my favorite, so they set the curve in regards to my review here. I had Pho Tai with my beef on the side and spring rolls. The spring rolls and peanut sauce was great...very tasty. The pho was also very good and the only adjustment I had to make in comparison to my usual experience was adding some fish sauce. I didn't mind doing this and would rather have needed to add some than there being too much when it was served to me. The meat was tender, the veggies fresh and a good portion of noodles. The service was prompt and courteous. I'm not a stickler on decor since some of the worst looking dives serve the best food so that was not on my mind, however I will say the restaurant was clean, well lit with all the appropriate condiments and accessories on the tables. My friend also order a combination Banh Mi sandwich to go and told me the bread was fresh and just right and overall had great flavor. I enjoy supporting local businesses and I will definitely return. If they continue to provide the quality of service and food then I may update my review to 5 stars! read more

After looking at the Yelp reviews, a co-worker and I decided to give this place a try. I was excited about the prospect of finding a decent Banh Mi in Johnson County, but it turns out it's not just an "off the menu item" as detailed in another review--according to the waitress, it doesn't exist at all. I was a little disappointed that they did not carry honeydew flavored boba tea, but even more-so that they were out flavors they did carry. For an appetizer, I ordered the spring rolls (#2) with peanut dipping sauce. The rice noodles contained within were a bit thicker than you would normally find, but overall they were above average, as was the peanut sauce. Next came the #8, a giant bowl of pho, with a side of basil, cilantro, jalapenos, bean sprouts, and a lime wedge. The broth was tasty with just a hint of spice, the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was thinly sliced and relatively tender. There's better Pho to be had in KC, I'm almost certain. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was warm, tasty and filling on a relatively cold day. read more

I've tried most if not all of the pho places in the KC metro and Pho Good is definitely alright. I'm a huge fan of their broth (I don't like the sweetness of Vietnam Cafe's broth) however I wish the meat portions were a bit larger for a large bowl of Pho Tai Gan. The egg rolls were pretty good, too. Lots of meat and a good crunch. All in all, I'll be hitting this place up frequently, mostly because it's the closest one to my house that has a good broth. read more

Stopped in here yesterday. Service is really quick and attentive. I had the pho do bien (rice noodles with shrimp, crab and fish balls) and we had shrimp spring rolls. I like that they bring a plate with bean sprouts, jalapeños, cilantro and I think basil and a lime wedge-you can add as much or as little as you want. It was served in a giant bowl and was steaming hot and delicious. The clientele was a mix of families, couples and guys who looked like they just stopped in for lunch while on a job. Place is bigger than I expected from the outside and it was clean. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. read more

My first time eating here last Sunday. At first I was reluctant after reading two of the reviews regarding a foul smell. Well...thank God I went in spite of the reviews & took the recommendation of a friend who has eaten there. I ordered Pho soup #8 tasted the same as the Vietnamese Cafe although they could add more fresh veggies & herbs with it. We also ordered fried sweet potatoes with shrimp, it tasted better than what I had before at VC. The fried egg rolls was disappointing, it lacked the crunch of what an egg roll should be probably because it was cooked way ahead instead of cooking it right there & then. Overall the food & atmosphere is good. Geographically, I love the fact I don't need to drive all the way to downtown to have a Vietnamese food. One thing I do want to point out though, there was no foul smell inside the restaurant while we were there. The only smell however, was the aroma of the food being prepared in the kitchen & brought out of the kitchen. This place is now one of my favorite Asian restaurant in KC. . read more

I'm glad they finally put a huge sign up saying they're NOW OPEN! The decor was nice. It was dead silence in there so they could've had their TVs on or some music. Our waitresses were on point. They didn't have any Coke which was disappointing to my husband. They ran out? She just said they didn't have any. All their silverware is out on the table, I am NOT a fan of this for Germ reasons. I think they need to just give silverware out to customers as they come in or wrap them up in napkins. They have a limited menu. We tried a few dishes. 2 Different types of Spring Rolls - Both good but they need to work on the wrapping!!! They left both ends open with a ton of cilantro & lettuce sticking out which was a little difficult to eat around. They NEED TO WRAP UP THE ENDS!! That's traditional... just saying. The Shrimp Spring Rolls typically come with pork but they used Vietnamese Bologna which was ok. If they used PORK it would be PERFECT! The Beef Spring Roll was also good. The Peanut Sauce was A LOT BETTER then most places we go to and that's saying a lot because I'm very picky about my Peanut Sauce. It didn't taste like straight peanut butter. It taste like actual AUTHENTIC ASIAN peanut sauce. It was a little runny though. Meatball/Sirloin/Flank Pho - It was good. Could've used a little more noodles for the size bowl they had for a Regular. The meat could've been cut down a little bit. The slices were almost the size of my hand. The broth flavor was good. It's not Vietnam Cafe good but it was still good. Way better then Pho 2 in Olathe. This place had flavor unlike Pho 2. Beef/Eggroll Bun - Was good. If you can't get this right then you don't need to have a restaurant. They used the same beef that was in the spring roll. They need to work on their noodle/veggie ratio though. I had more veggies then noodles. Overall we would go back again because it's close to home especially on those nights I'm craving Pho or don't want to cook and don't want to drive down town. They do take out which is even better! No more drives down town for take out that's cold by the time we get home. We'll try some other dishes and update! read more

My first KC Pho experience was a success! I had a long day of apartment hunting, yet a fruitful one. The boyfriend and I wanted to have a lunch celebration, and agreed to try some nearby Pho. Our first time having Pho was in a place in Raleigh, North Carolina called Pho Far East. It was a really amazing place run by a dedicated Vietnamese family. This place really set our Pho expectations high. We had Pho a few other places that were always disappointing. Well, I have to say, we finally had some good Pho at Pho Good. When we first walked in, I noticed the place was decorated simply, like any other Vietnamese place I've been. When we headed to our booth, we both noticed a very strong, funky smell. The only word to describe it is "funk"...like a combination of strong bleach cleaner and an old musty attic. I hoped I would desensitize to the smell...which I did, but it was a bit of a deterrent at first. Our experience improved after the "funky" welcome. We both ordered the Pho with meatballs and sirloin beef. I also ordered some coffee. The coffee came out first, but it did not "wow" me. I would not order it again. Our food came out very quickly as well, with the usual accompaniments (basil, bean sprouts, jalapenos). I first tasted the broth, and it was delicious! The broth at other places often disappointed me. But here at Pho Good, it was very flavorful and delicious. The meat was very tender as well, and noodles were cooked perfectly. I was very pleased with our meal and the warm service. I look forward to returning! read more
