Pro: opened late and the waitress was very helpful and delightful Con: the most plain and watered down bowl of pho I've ever had in my entire life and I promise you I've had hundreds of servings. Everything looks appealing until you actually bite in then you quickly try to find a way to doctor it up and find that it's impossible. Noodles were undercooked and other than msg and hot water there wasn't much else to the broth. Highly disappointed, it's not too often that we leave a restaurant hungry and having to stop at a drive thru on the way back. read more

After driving 5 hours to key west I was so hungry. Stumbled upon this place and it was so delicious. Service was so fast and the food was affordable. It's right off Duvall and an open setting so you can still people watch. I had the Yakisoba which was so good! read more

Why is it so hard to find good ramen! Granted, it's probably my fault.The menu did say pork shoulder and park belly. I just wasn't expecting the entire ditch to be dry tasteless pork shoulder with NO pork belly. Will not be back. Sake was good. Pork belly buns were just okay. read more

Did not enjoy the food. Soup and broth lacked quality. Tasted like powder flavored broth with low quality ingredients. Didn't like the service either. We came in a small party and they automatically added 18% service charge which could easily be missed. I almost added tip on top of that and luckily caught on before totaling and submitting the check. Definitely a tourist trap for those with Asian fusion cravings. read more

Not sure why the reviews aren't higher here. We had delicious Pho!! I had chicken thigh Pho, i think it was called Dragon. And my husband had the beef pho, both were very different and equally amazing. The broth was fantastic on both!! I think the prices are good here for being right in the tourist zone of Duval st. The unfiltered cold sake was also delicious, and the bartender was amazing helping us pick a sake. My only issue with this visit was I went to the bathroom and the hallway back to the bathroom had a door wide open to the pantry or kitchen, and I saw a massive huge hunk of raw meat sitting out on the counter. Not sure if it was purposefully aging, or very unsanitary, but at least shut the kitchen door so guests can't see that and wonder if we're eating bad meat. However, we didn't get sick so I guess it was ok! I'll be back, the Pho was amazing. read more

My soft shell crab was fine, the quality of the crab was fresh. The udon sweet sauce that came with it tasted like someone dumped a load of fish sauce in there so it didn't taste amazing. It wasn't terrible, just kind of "off" It's a nice place to sit at the bar and have a drink for sure. The people are all pretty nice and relaxed. Not sure I'd come back for the food though. read more

I can't believe I had a craving for Pho while in Key West but I did...and Pho King Awesome nailed it! The service was fantastic all around. When asked for the #5 with tofu, they asked if I was vegetarian and would prefer mushroom broth (yes!). It was perfect. This place is a Key West treasure read more

I agree with fellow Yelpers about the rating. We arrived here ravenously after waiting over an hour for food at another restaurant. I ordered a dish that came out like cold ramen in a peanut sauce, quite salty and just OK. My son, however got vegetarian pho with tofu in a shiitake mushroom broth that was quite delicious. Whenever I've ordered vegetarian pho at other places, the broth is either meat-based or just a bland vegetable broth. This was probably the best veggie pho I've tasted. My husband said his traditional meat pho was about 3 stars. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at the bar at Pho King Awesome. We were able to see our food being made by the chef and that is always such a treat. We had appetizers at another restaurant, so we split two things here. We had the steamed dumplings and the pork belly steamed buns. The dumplings were really good but the steamed buns stole the show! They were wonderful and so fresh. The buns are actually really hard to describe...they are like nothing else! We had a great time being able to be indoor/outdoor and looking out at the craziness of Duval Street. read more

Okay, the name got me! I had to check this place out and give it a chance. It's Key West pricing so definitely not alluring, but they have pretty decent food and the service was fine. What caught my eye on the menu was the #8 Curried Lamb. What I liked was the presentation and the focus on the lamb. The gaminess from the lamb stood out and was not too off-putting. Lots of lamb pieces that they definitely didn't skimp on. The broth was light and I felt that it could have had a stronger curry presence. Overall though, I enjoyed it and would get it again if I were back. A few technical tweaks to the dish would definitely make it stand out though! I got Hot Sake as well. It came out piping hot which I enjoyed since it was a chilly night so that was nice. Really awesome name and I hope they continue to improve their dishes! read more

This restaurant didn't worth even one star. No service at all, we need find the chairs our self to be seated. The server gave you empty cups without water. And they automatically charged you 20% tips to the credit card. Pho noodle is horrible, the beef is so hard, noodle is half done, it is still raw inside. read more

0 stars jf possible. Ordered kimchi jijigae and it did not have a single kimchi in it. Asked for spicy garlic oil and waitress came with it in a spoon and dropped it on the table. How unhygienic AND RUDE. Also ordered the dragon bowl and it was also 0/5 stars. Food AND service are both terrible. read more

It was a worst oxtail pho I ever have. Đừng có ghé ăn tiệm này nhé. Phở rất là dở và mắc.

I ran in late after taking an early evening nap that lasted a bit too long. I had the Spicy Peanut Noodles with Shrimp. The dish is served cold which isn't a problem for me. But beware. Really nice spice level and great flavors. Prepared quickly. I devoured it and I was on my way. Nice bar service. read more

I'm not sure why the ratings are so low. My husband and I have not been terribly impressed with the food in key west and we ate here twice because we like it so much. The steamed short rib buns are delicious and the beef pho is good too. Maybe people who are looking for deep fried southern food should look elsewhere but we thought it was really goid read more

For those looking for a good Pho place don't do it. For those who've eaten there and ignored this post, I told you so . And they charge me a service fee. The broth tastes like boiled meat water. It's missing star anise, coriander, fish sauce, basically everything. read more

You can buy yourself an instant noodle cup, pour into it bottle water, microwave it, and add an egg if you want to make it fancy, then you have 10 times better dish than any noodles you order here. If you ever eat any kind of Asian food before, even the frozen ones from Costco, you will be terribly disappointed here. The food here is either cooked days ago without properly refrigerating or coming straight out of an instant bag. And enjoy your meal with mosquitoes flying around. read more

Not sure why they called themselves Pho King? I travel the world n have eaten at many pho places. This is most disgusting pho. I can make better pho with plain water. Do not go here for pho. read more

Many reviews complain this place does not serve "authentic" pho. Me as a Japanese, I knew it as soon as I saw the interior. Anime like figure on the wall, and along the business name it's written "Japanese Sake and noodle rolling pin" in Japanese. THIS IS an ASIAN FUSION RESTAURANT. We ordered two different kind of dumplings, oxtail pho. They were good as "Asian fusion". And added shrimp tempura, then our "not so friendly" server was kind enough to ask if it's OK with us since it comes with calamari as a side dish. That side dish, I think it's a smoked calamari and wood ear mushroom, that flavor reminded me of "Otoshi" served at Izakaya back home in Japan. The server's attitude was little bit nicer than most restaurants in Hong Kong. Yes, it is a good restaurant as an Asian fusion:) read more

Love love this place!! Friendly service great food. My personal favorite is the house ramen with pork the steamed buns... also with pork belly but I believe you can get tofu. The cold soba salad with baby octopus the bahn mi crab fried rice and always add the jiggly egg! I have yet to be disappointed Even the beer / wine selection is on par. read more

If you like the Asian flavors, they do it well. The name tells the truth. We enjoyed the soft shell crab with mushroom soup which was amazing and the beef Pho, also amazing. Dumplings are great too along with the sake selection. We look forward to coming back to try more of the menu items. read more

My biggest issue with this place was the service... the attitude was insurmountable. The miso hot pot had an overwhelming fermented taste to it that I could bare swallow- my partner finished it. The mandu was good- and quite frankly was the only thing that saved this place from a more critical review. Also WAY overpriced. I didn't even bother to order anything else. Would not recommend nor try again. read more

Unbelievably rude people working here! Not allowed to use the restroom until you order something. Tried to wash my hands before we sat down and my wife was assaulted by the counter help.

Pho King.... can't get that money back :( We love our pho. Was excited to try something other than Sister Noodle House. (which isn't bad but we are super spoiled to have awesome pho back home) Ordered delivery, two bowls (18 each) and pork dumpling (8). after tip 60 bucks. I pay 25 for that whole meal in St Pete. Stars for warm noodles and yummy dumplings. But for price and the most absolutely tasteless Pho--never again. like the soy sauce guy....I think we dumped half the salt shaker and hot sauce in it with no luck! Thanks for the quick delivery but we won't be ordering again. read more

Terrible! Worst pho experience ever. It tasted like fatty chicken based soup which was bland. It started with the short rib buns which were typical of a beef stew.

Nice menu items. The buns are excellent. Ordered delivery and the food were very well packaged.

I had nigori sake, miso soup, and kimchi. All were delicious. The sake was delicious and the upcharge was reasonable. The miso soup was the best I've ever tasted. You get a huge bowl for $6. And the kimchi was awesome but was so full from the miso soup I took most of it with me. My partner had the dragon bowl and he finished it off, said it was delicious. read more
