    Vietnamese Pho (Beef Noodle Soup
    Ryan J.

    AI say that Pho is one of the Best Soups to eat, Thinly Sliced Beef and Rice Noodles with Jalapeno, Basil, Bean Sprouts and Scallions all together in a Hearty Broth. This was 1 of the 11 Trucks that was in attendance at the Bills Tailgating Party. I only had 3 Trucks from there and this was one of the Three, what made it think for me to get a Bowl of Piping Hot Soup when its 88 Degrees out I'll never know. The Soup was Loaded with Wafer Thin slices of Beef, Rice Noodles, Bean Sprouts, Thin slices of Red Onion for some Sharp Mild Flavor, Thai Basil (for its Floral Notes and Hints of Licorice) and Fish Sauce and Sriracha (to accent with elements of both Salty & Spicy). I took my first Spoonful, it slightly burnt my Lips and my Tongue, but not that bad for me to enjoy it. Every sip and slurp of Noodle I took, I ignore the scorching sensation that was happening in my Mouth (I thought Pho-get about it). I managed to eat all of the Noodles, but while I slurping up the Broth, the burning Question in my Head was (What am I doing, I should drink something Cold and Refreshing not have my mouth be as hot as the Mohave Desert). So I slugged down half of the Broth but it was Great (Un-Pho-gettable, Un-Pho-king Believable and Pho-nomenol). Next time I get it though I'll be sure to have it on a Cool Night.

    Maybe I caught them on an off night, but my experience was more like pho king disappointing. And maybe I need to start ordering what is clearly the specialty, in this case PHO, hence the name. Alas, I ordered the Spicy Asian Tacos, which were not spicy in the least and the chicken was EXTREMELY dry. And $6 for two of the smallest tacos I've ever seen? No thank you! I will stick with one of the million taco trucks in DTLA for $1 tacos. I also had the "Phunky Fusion" Fried Rice, which looked good, but the pineapples (which I was excited about as a main ingredient) were rancid and lived up to the name "funky." I had to pick them all out and throw them away. Expensive and disappointing. : (

    This past friday we attended a Hot Wheels x Fatlace x Illest event and happen to find out about the Pho King Awesome food truck. First off the name alone puts a smile on your face when you say it. Thats points already.. We ordered the following: Spamusushi- was really good but my daughter said there was a little too much spicy mayo. 4/5 Kung fu loaded fries- was really good and had the right amount of spice to it. Spice was not overpowering but felt it was perfect balance. Meat was a bit salty for my second daughters liking but she finished it anyways.. which means it was good for her 4/5 Asian Popcorn Chicken had a nice crunch and taste to it. She said she got way too much rice. 4/5 Overall we liked the Pho King Awesome food truck. Would definitely go back and try the other entrees on there menu. Also dont forget to check in to receive a free drink.

    Yes! It's about time there's some good quality pho that isn't packed with MSG. The broth is a Clean broth. It's not greasy, nor does it taste like your typical plain chicken broth (pho ga). What could be better than a bowl of hot soup, with the aromas of star anise and coriander and other spices on a cold night? They have other stuff too like egg rolls, King Bap, and fried rice. Customer service is one on one. They would be more than happy to answer your questions. Nailed it guys!

    Pho King menu - NO PRICES !!!  Expect each item to be $10 - $15 range.

    Saw this food truck at Long beach Comic-Con. They had pho. Ordered a beef pho $12 and a spam sushi $11. The pho took awhile to come out, like 20 minutes. It looked like a small size bowl (Westminster size). The sushi was a joke. There was only one small roll ! The pho smelled great, so I dug in. It tasted savory and umami and a sweetness from some herbs and oxtail broth. However, it started tasting salty and a strange herbal taste I didn't like. Something about it made me stop eating. I had Honeybuns try it, and whatever it was, he didn't want it either. It wasn't MSG, no metallic taste, but something from herbs or spices. Honeybuns said his sushi roll rice was dry and crumbly, but the spicy sauce he liked. Guess this is not our flavor profile. Your mileage may vary.

    Came across this food truck during a Night Dive event at the Long Beach Aquarium and thought "out of all our options this was probably our best bet..." Now... I love Pho... hell, I love Vietnamese food in general; so right off the bat I knew I wasn't going to cop myself a (probably overpriced) bowl of pho from a food truck. Overall, their menu isn't huge, which I rather prefer since food trucks in general are really pricey now and they don't really give you enough to fill yourself up with just one order of anything. But here's a thing I really do have a problem with... if you're going to post up pictures of the delicious food porn you have posted on your truck, don't you think it would be somewhat considerate to put corresponding prices somewhere instead of having the grand total come out to be as a surprise to your customers??? Here's the lowdown of the couple of things we we're able to order since everything else we wanted was already sold out an hour into the event: Psycho Stick Bowl (4/5): I was a bit skeptical at first after seeing the portions other customers got with their fried rice... and for the price of around $10-$11, I would have been truly upset if the skewers we're just subpar. The photo was a bit deceiving since it gives you the impression you'll get 4 sticks when in reality you only get 3... but mannnn, once you get a bite of the meat from this entree, you won't be regretting your decision with this choice as much anymore. The meat itself was so tender and full of flavor and pretty much just melts after a couple of bites. As for the white rice, it was soft and sticky, something that pairs really well with the skewers and just does a great job of absorbing the juices and filling you up. Spicy Asian Tacos (3/5): Each taco is tiny! For someone like me who takes huge bites, you can literally devour each one with two bites. With that being said though, they're considerate enough to at least give you 4 tacos per order which help put me at ease after finding out I spent $22 for just two food truck items. Other than the presentation and hype though, I have to say that I've had way better fusion tacos for cheaper... hell, I've made better Asian fusion tacos than what they serve here! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these tacos are nasty and horrible; not at all. I'm just saying, I don't justify charging people $11 for 4 tacos that just look and sound "special." We would have LOVED to try out their egg rolls and Spamusushi but they we're all sold out by 8pm that night. Besides the fact that you build up an overwhelming anxiety as you keep adding more food to your order and not knowing the price for each item, I'd say Pho King Awesome needs to overhype their business and bring it down a notch. Maybe go with "Pho King Great" or just "Pho King." But in my honest opinion, you guys definitely aren't as "awesome" as you claim to be.

    My fav!

    I go to a lot of cons in Long beach and in LA, and I'm always really glad when I see the Pho King Awesome Trucks. What I really like about the food is, everything you order has a strong different taste and they have a good variety of what to choose from. One of my all time favorites is the Asian Cajun Chicken with white rice suuuper boomb! Amazingly friendly and always humble when you wait. People will always complain about waiting at a busy event. But the food is amazing and you should definitely give it a try.

    We had the Pho King Awesome truck at work for lunch courtesy of our vendor Toshiba. We had a special catered menu I first got the OG fried rice and egg roll. Even though I got the fried rice mild it still had a kick although I'm a wimp on spicy foods so to others they would taste a thing and would need more hotness lol. It was good though the sausage was yummy and went well with the fried rice. The meat egg roll was good as well. On my second serving I got the Pho King Noodles with beef that was yummy loved the taste and the tender beef I should have gotten that first cause I couldn't finish it all since I was stuffed from the the fried rice. On their regular menu I saw the spamusushi that looked good I wish it was on our menu so that means I'm gonna have to try that whenever I get a chance to. The staff was awesome and friendly as well the guy who took our order was cool and friendly. Might I mention this was my first taste of Pho ever and I liked it so I got my cherry popped today lol. Who knows maybe my work will have them again since our vendors are always treating us to food trucks and seems like a good amount of the employees liked it. Great job guys keep it up Pho King Awesome Truck.

    Unfortunately, Pho King Awesome is not really awesome. Not even good. Well my review is based on their signature dish "Pho." It lacks seasoning. There's not that much veg. It's really bland. it is $8 i guess u get what u paid for... Not really. I've had dishes that are less than $5 bucks but it tastes like $20!

    Bummed they don't have a vegetarian pho but they make up for it with their fried rice and the best tofu tacos I've ever had!!! Large portions and great prices I highly recommend this truck! The food is wok'd fresh and their sauces are on point! Did I mention the TOFU tacos are amazing?

Customers can also find Shlap Muan Chicken Wings at Smorgasburg at ROW DTLA every Sunday. [Parking]: Easy and free strip mall parking. [Atmosphere]: The shop has indoor tables but no TVs, so don't come here expecting to watch sports games. [Ordering]: I placed an online pickup order and my food was ready 5 minutes before my specified pickup time. [Menu]: For wings, there are pan sauces and wok sauces. Their popular Dirty Elvis flavor falls under the wok sauce category (wings tossed in a sweet and smoky caramel sauce). Each order of Dirty Elvis comes with a minimum of 10 wings, but customers can choose a split-flavor option with 5 pieces of Dirty Elvis and 5 pieces of another selected flavor with online orders. For Shlap Muan Wings (pan sauces), customers can order a minimum of 4 pieces per flavor and two highlighted flavors are Cambodian Dirt (lemon pepper) and Water Buffalo. *** Dirty Elvis (10 pieces total - Split Flavor on Cambodian Dirt - $16.00): Those 5 Dirty Elvis wings were absolutely amazing - crispy and saucy. The Cambodian Dirt (lemon pepper) wings were solid, but in hindsight I probably should have just doubled down and gone with all 10 pieces of Dirty Elvis. Shlap Muan Wings (4 Pieces - Water Buffalo, $6.50): The dipping sauce had a good spicy kick, but it definitely will not be everyone's cup of tea especially for people who (1) are not fans of Buffalo wings or (2) cannot handle a mild version of Sriracha spicy level. *** S-tier for the Dirty Elvis wings and A-tier for the Shlap Muan Wings.

    That's why I feel a little conflicted giving this place 3 stars. I try to rate restaurants solely…read moreon food quality. If I'm being consistent with that philosophy, the food here is good but not exceptional. Still, "okay" food doesn't mean unenjoyable food - far from it. This is comfort food that I genuinely crave. New Kamara is the kind of neighborhood spot that's becoming harder and harder to find. It's a true mom-and-pop Cambodian-Chinese restaurant with a warmth that goes beyond the food itself. I eat here regularly, and honestly, part of the reason I keep coming back is the atmosphere in the mornings. In a country where very few restaurants are open at 8 am, New Kamara somehow already feels alive - local "uncles" gathering around tables, drinking coffee, catching up on life, and turning the restaurant into a small community hub. There's something incredibly comforting about that. Another thing that makes New Kamara special is the value. In 2026, where else are you getting a full bowl of noodles for $11.25 (see the menu photos below)? Prices like that almost feel frozen in time. My go-to order is almost always the Combination Rich Noodle (dry version), essentially Chinese-Cambodian beef noodles. I strongly prefer the dry version because it lets me customize the flavors myself: squeeze fresh lemon juice over the noodles, add hot sauce, mix everything together, and it comes alive. The noodles have a satisfying al dente texture, which I appreciate. At the same time, the soup on the side is decent but not particularly memorable. At the end of the day, New Kamara is one of those places that reminds me restaurants aren't only about chasing the "best" food. Sometimes it's about routine, familiarity, affordability, and the feeling you get when you walk in. And for me, this place delivers that every single time.
