    shrimp and pork spring rolls
    Ester L.

    Exceeded my unassuming expectations. It gets the job done unless you're super super picky. I got the spring rolls and they were standard, peanut dipping sauce was super liquidy but I will say that the flavor was just enough and the quantity was just enough to flavor everything mildly. I tried the bun ho hue and it was tasty, and I like how the water is free for you to refill. Food took kind of long though, some of my friends waited over twenty minutes and not a lot of stuff came at the same time. We were like one of two patrons and the staff still forgot something. The ambiance was good though I think we were well taken care of and the interior is not too bad though cramped. Everything was a tad expensive but you can't really complain for the amount you get especially for noodles or rice.

    Large pho tai
    David L.

    When I think of pho places I think of great value, huge portions, and sometimes takeout bc I can't finish all the pho. This is why I usually prefer pho places over Thai. This is NOT one of those places. I used to come here starting back in 2012. Or even before. I recall this place being so good that I want to go to pho king to get 'phoed out'. I haven't been here in a while bc I've been to that other sit down pho place too much. So when I came here recently. Man, I was quite surprised!! The portions were quite smaller than I had expected. And there were not enough 'tai' to satisfy two young growing boys! Normally a pho tai should have lots of meat if tai is the only option. Normally I have to take out extra tai from my older son's bowl bc he never finishes his tai. But not this bowl. And don't even get me started on the extra portion of noodles that I had ordered... Service is decent. Ambiance is ok bc they have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. And it's close to campus. To sum it up, don't come here for pho. It will not pho you up. You can come bc of location (so close) to campus. I might come back just to check out their rice plates; maybe those are still good? But I'll never come back for pho. This is definitely a 3 star restaurant or even lower. It used to be good. My son used to come here and sit on the table in his infant car seat. We even came here with their auntie when they were able to sit up by themselves. What happened to this place? They should not call themselves pho king. It's no longer funny anymore. Barely average C--

    TL;DR Spacious and quiet spot near UC Davis, but the pho was underwhelming with bland broth and minimal meat. Service was fine, but there are better Vietnamese options in town. --- I came here because it's close to the UC Davis campus. I've passed by many times and it never seemed too busy. When I walked in, the restaurant was nearly empty and seating was easy to find. It seems like a decent spot for larger groups. I ordered the pho, which I consider a litmus test for any Vietnamese restaurant. Unfortunately, it was a letdown. The broth was bland and lacked the depth of flavor I expect. The portion of meat was also small, which made the dish feel incomplete. I usually enjoy Vietnamese food, but this bowl didn't live up to expectations. The service was fine and the space was clean, but the food just wasn't memorable. If you're looking for good pho in Davis, there are better options elsewhere.

    Pho King (4) has always been a great experience for my husband and I. We love pho king. And pho king 4.

    Cross section pork banh mi
    Samantha C.

    Ordered lunch from this place for a large graduate group event. They offer several dietary options including vegan and vegetarian options for their banh mi as well as the standard chicken and grilled pork. Every worker I encountered from asking questions over the phone to the worker who helped me place an order via email and the worker who delivered the sandwiches was very helpful. The affordability of this place is probably the best I have seen in Davis with each banh mi at ~$8. Portions are generous although I did find the grilled pork too star anise heavy and there was not enough caramelization on the meat. There was also a lot of mayonnaise in the sandwiches, but I think that is what most people preferred. Overall, the banh mi were a hit and I would not hesitate to order from here again.

    57. Pad Thai - Shrimp
    Christina T.

    I was in the mood for pad thai and the pad thai here really saved my craving! I'd prefer more spice in the sauce but either way, I enjoyed the dish and had a great time here. I'm generally not big on pho but I would say the pad thai is my favorite here at Pho king 4 and I'll definitely get it again

    BM2. Pork Roll Banh Mi
    Nick G.

    Update: this business is trying to rip people off by charging them for Togo boxes. I previous gave this place 5 stars, but honestly after this experience I will no longer return. I got a chicken pho and it barely had chicken. All the chicken bits were so tiny and it didn't have much at all. Then after we went to pay the guy added a charge for a Togo boxes because my girlfriend didn't finish her food. Didn't even disclose it and had the audacity to make up some story and then post some fake news by the register. I couldn't believe this.

    A3. Fresh Spring Rolls with Pork or Shrimp - Pork
    Meriyah H.

    This place is so amazing! I come here every weekend to order the Steak Pho and the prices are absolutely unbelievable! For only 15$ you get a huge portion of such great tasting Pho. The staff are also extremely friendly and very welcoming. They always accommodate you and assist with refills and making your experience very comfortable. I don't understand the negative reviews, because this place has never felt dirty or badly staffed. Everyone is very knowledgeable and clean. The restroom is also nicely kept as well. The food is cooked very well, and I've order several time, both takeout and dine-in. Additionally we are both Hispanics, and have NEVER felt disrespected at all! Actually the opposite and extremely welcomed! Overall, my experience is extremely well and the food is exceptionally amazing. If you know your Pho and are in Davis, stop by and give it a try. Me and my partner always make it a part of our weekend to stop by at least once!

    I love pho so much! Whenever I visit a new spot I like to get their combination pho, spring rolls and Thai tea and during my visit to Pho King 4 I was very predictable. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating options and the menu has so many great options on it including vegan and vegetarian options. We ended up eating at the restaurant and I loved getting to doctor up my pho there with hoisin, sambal and all the beansprouts and jalapeños. I love the flavor combination of savory, sweet and spicy that you get with pho. Everything was delicious and even though I ordered a small pho I still ended up taking leftovers home. It's never as good reheated so if you can eat most of it at the restaurant that's ideal. If you do take home leftovers just know your noodles are going to soak up that delicious broth, still delicious but less soupy. I'm already craving pho again though!!

    This is a don't judge a book by its cover kind of place. Looks really humble from the outside but…read moreonce you're inside, it's large, clean and fancy. The menu was huge with lots of pictures and options. They put a thing of water at the table, which I appreciated. We both got the Chinese beer, and we both ordered lamb. He got the farmhouse lamb, it was like a stirfry lamb with onions and bell pepper in medium spicy. For medium it wasn't too spicy and it was nice and savory. I ordered a chef special, Lamb Slices with Enoki Mushrooms, mild. Although one dish was medium, and the other mild, they both felt about the same spiciness and I really feel it's because the lamb slices with mushrooms was like a hot pot and so the chili was spicier in here since it was brewing in the broth. The lamb slices with mushrooms was also very savory. The broth was very umami and opaque not thin at all. It also had glass noodles at the bottom of the dish. Tons of mushroom tons of lamb. We felt like we got a good amount of food for the price. And the lamb and both dishes had that good flavor of lamb, not that cheap lamb flavor and the lamb in both was very tender and soft. We also got the pork dumplings, these were obviously made in house. The dough was homemade and the filling both tasted homemade. We each also got a side of white rice. The total before tip was $95, this was for the two lamb dishes, the appetizer, the two sides of rice, and the four beers. It's obviously a hit. We got there at a good time, but by the time we left, it was a full house. It also seems like they do a lot of deliveries. They had a decent looking bar area with wine and other alcohol, I'm not quite sure what. They had three choices of beer, corona, Heineken, and the Chinese beer that we got. I also like that they had candles out, I'm not sure if they sell these, but they were gathered at the end of the bar. They also had walnuts and dry mango that looked for sale. Looking at everybody else's tables too, all the dishes looked amazing. We're so happy that we took a chance and just tried this place out on a whim! It made for a really great date night.

    Wow! Ascended to my #1 restaurant spot in Davis. Definitely more of an infrequent meal since I…read morewould consider it more on the expensive side. Average dishes are ~20 dollars. Great spicy food and friendly staff. Food (10/10) - The food here is AMAZING! Perfect balance of spice to flavor and every single bite is electric. The sichuan numbing pepper in the Chongqing soup was DELICIOUS. Mix it with some of the white rice and you have a dish all by iteself. The chicken itself had a nice chew and was very fragrant. Loved the texture and flaovr of the vermicelli; nice bounce to the noodles while soaking in all the spicy soup. My one complaint would be that they have soft bones (sign of long boiling time) so be careful of that! Also got the spicy stir-fried pork kidney... don't diss it 'til you try it. Super good, with that nice bit of chew. Take a bite of pepper, kidney, and white rice and BOOM! Perfect bite. **Recommendation: Rice is a key component for the dishes here. Without rice, everything will be too spicy, too savory, and overall too overwhelming. The rice is the thing that helps tie everything together (as it frequently is) Service (8/10) - Good service; nothing notable. Nice people and I think most of them speak Mandarin. Service and seating was also fast. Order of things to come out of the kitchen was a bit strange: soup for the chicken, rice, stir-fry, chicken. Honestly, not that big of a problem but just decided to comment. Price (8/10) - The price here is a bit on the pricier side; $54 for 2 but there were some leftovers (had to make my own rice though). Some of the dishes are more worth than others. The Chonqing chicken was $25 but you got a large bowl of chicken with soup and vermicelli. On the other hand, the stir-fry for $20 was notably padded with vegetables and I would say a majority of the dish was not the kidney. At the very least, the taste of the food compensates. However, this place is likely not a college go-to. Overall, great restaurant that I will be coming back to again (maybe with my parents LOL) or at the very least, would come with a large group as it is more fitting for family style. Highly recommend!

My kid mentioned they usually are very pack and people would dine outdoor, but I guess we arrived early so there wasn't any wait time. Ordered few items, food came out very fast and the tastes are not bad at all. Beef Fried Rice Noodles: How do you differentiate if this dish is good or not, it is about how much excessive oil that's left on the plate. The stir fried was good, not too greasy, and they marinate the meat well. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, this place's meat was good. Only they could stir fried with even higher eat to create more "wok air" Sticky Rice Stick with Brown Sugar: First time trying this dish, so not sure what to expect. But it does seem to be a dessert to me, my comment would be higher if the rice stick is more chewy. Hot & Sour Shredded Potato: This is common dish from northern part of China. The way they prepared was awesome. The potato was not starchy and the seasoning is just right. A bit greasy but this is actually my favorite dish! Shrimp and Pork with Chives Dumplings: Meat is fresh and dumpling wrap is great too. Each dumpling size is not too big and wasn't torn. Taste is okay but maybe try another filling if I visit again. I would come again to try out other things on the menu if I'm visiting my kid again.

When we left Davis and came back, we were really sad that there were no more Taiwanese food options, because we both loved the pork chop and meat gravy over rice so much. That being said, when we realized, honey D was there, we figured we would try it. The store itself is quite small, think fast service Boba shop size. The decoration is fine, the place kept pretty clean, not much more to say about it. The service is also really good, the staff working was very polite and friendly, and it turns out the owner must've been in the shop because she delivered our food and asked us if we've ever eaten this food before and offered to help. We ordered the fried chicken with pork gravy over rice, the beef noodle soup, and the lemon tea. To be honest, the beef noodle soup is not my favorite. Although the meat looks like it was freshly cut, I found it to be quite tough. I also was not really a fan of the bra, but I know the broth is also up to personal taste. For myself personally, I think the one at Dah Bao is better, and I've had much better in the Bay Area and outside of the bay. That being said, we both really enjoyed the chicken and rice. It was such a nostalgic taste, and we felt like the serving size was great. The chicken itself was really crunchy, so I imagine their other fried chicken and popcorn chicken options are also delicious. The tea was also very refreshing and helped to wash the food down. We plan to come back and try more of their braised meat and rice dishes, despite being a little disappointed by the beef noodle soup.
