    Pho King Truck
    Keely G.

    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?

    Yummy egg rolls :)

    ATTENTION!!! THIS CLASS 302 IN DOWNEY **IS NOT** LIKE THE CLASS 302 IN CERRITOS!…read moreThere is no shaved ice, there are no waffles, and Downey is self-serve drinks while Cerritos makes the drinks for you. Their food menus differ, as well. With that being said, this Class 302 is closer to my house, so it's frequented more. I probably would have made this a 5 star review, but I haven't tried enough of their food or drinks to make a sound judgement. While I can tolerate spicy foods, in my day and age now, spicy foods aren't a good look for me sometimes. I like how I can opt out of the spice here. I've had the Pork Bone Noodle soup and the Miso Udon soup, both are delicious. They both come spicy and in different degrees of spicy, but, again, I opt out of the spice. Their popcorn chicken also comes in different degrees of spicy, and I've tried the no-spice, and 1st degree (??) level of spicy. The popcorn chicken does have a distinct flavor to it, maybe it's Chinese 5 spice (?), I'm not sure. It took some getting used to, but my twins love the popcorn chicken from here. The fried basil they add to it is a nice touch of flavor. I'd probably choose the fried pork chop over the popcorn chicken, flavor wise. The pork chop is topped with cilantro and served with their house made sweet chili sauce. I guess the secret to their self-serve drinks is to use to slushes in lieu of the ice so that your drink isn't watered down. Now, there are instructions on how to self-serve your drinks here: *Order the size of drink you'd like (small, medium, or large). *Ask for a sample cup if you're not sure what to get. *Add your boba and other fillings first (fruit, egg tart, popping boba, lychee jelly, Oreo crumbs, etc.) *Choose your drink combinations and fill your cup carefully. *If you're gonna add toppings after you fill your cup with your drink, leave some space for said topping. *If there's some overflow of your drink, you might be asked to drink some of your drink or it will be poured out into a sample cup. Your drink can't seal properly if it's not flush with the top of the cup. *You might have to wait a minute for your cup to be sealed because Other Patrons. I always add one scoop of boba, and have tried the following combinations: *Coconut Slush-Ube Slush-Coconut Slush-Lychee Jelly *Coconut Slush-Pineapple Passion Slush-Lychee Jelly *Coconut Slush-Mango Berry-Pineapple Passion-Lychee Jelly *Pineapple Passion-Hisbiscus Tea *Coconut Slush-Thai Tea My twins choose a combination of the Strawberry Cream Slush, Horchata Slush, and Coconut Slush. They'll add Oreo cookie crumbles sometimes, too. I'm a fan of Jasmine Milk Tea, but when I tried it here, it wasn't Jasmine'ing like I'm used to, so I don't get it here. There's a good mix of ages/generations, families vs. couples vs. friend groups vs. solo diners, and while it can get packed it doesn't last for long. I've Shazam'd some music here so the playlists are pretty good. We're always greeted with a "Hi, Welcome!" when we walk thru the doors, so staff is pretty cool. Oh, the door can be heavy to open because of the AC on. We've always had some seats to sit on whilst waiting for our food to-go. Parking close by is a usual occurrence, but this shop is nestled in a very busy shopping/restaurant center.

Sad to see that their last day is May 11th. Would highly recommend people to try before their last day. Our latest visit was during lunchtime on a weekday. We were greeted upon entering and were told to choose whichever table we wanted. We ordered a Wintermelon Tea, Fried Pork Chop Rice, and the Century Egg Tofu. Food and tea came out quickly. Everything was so good and felt like comfort food that family would make. The pork chop was seasoned well and came with a tea egg, and vegetable sides of broccoli and tomato as well as soup. The tomato side reminds me of this tomato egg that we eat often. The century egg tofu was delicious. The tofu had a great texture -- soft, creamy, but also dense. The sauce that it came with was sweet, salty, and garlicky. The century egg was good. The winter melon tea was light on ice, well-balanced, and not too sweet. Overall, giving Formosan Restaurant a 5/5. Wish we started coming here sooner. Staff are nice, service is quick, prices are great, and the food is delicious.

And prefer it over many other Asian cuisines.* The reason I chose M's Kitchen over two other Taiwanese restaurants in the area? So many more vegetable dishes! And wow, am I completely grateful I did! We arrived on a Saturday evening, and the server and chef were both in the kitchen. The server came over and gave us menus before getting our drink orders. She was prompt in a very caring manner without ever seeming rushed. She had lots of suggestions as we asked questions about the menu. At some point, the chef was sitting with us, and she asked him clarifying questions for us. She even went back into the kitchen to find out which vegetables were the freshest (which I appreciated)! We ordered a cup of ginseng and goji berry chicken soup, chicken cream corn soup (with egg), ong choy with garlic, walnut shrimp, crispy tofu, and green scallion pancake. As each dish came out, it felt like different instruments in an orchestra being highlighted as they wove into the tapestry of the music. The ong choy built onto the soup, the crispy tofu onto the ong choy and soup, and so on! Until there was this grand harmony of pulsating flavors and textures! I thoroughly enjoyed each dish! I only wish I had a bigger appetite so I could eat more and faster! The server helped us to pack the leftovers. We spoke about how traditional Chinese and Taiwanese food get lost in the mix of more modern and fusion recipes and restaurants. I am also a loving fan of mom and pop dining because it reminds me of the many meals I have been gifted by the parents of friends and friends who have opened their homes and hearths to feed and nourish me in my life.

The Corn Chowder was okay, it had corn and pork in it. It was simple so there wasn't anything bad or good about it. The employees are very kind and helpful! I asked the employee in the front if he preferred the Signature or Kimchi, and he told me he recommended the Signature first to try it out. I am now interested in trying out the Kimchi version too. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. There is seating indoor and outdoors, there are water cups near the register, and a sauce station on the left side of the counter. There's Sesame Oil, Black Vinegar, Garlic Sauce, and Soy Sauce. I prefer Garlic Sauce the best! The restaurant also gets pretty cold so maybe bring a light jacket. When I went to the restaurant, there was only one person in line ahead of me, and most people seem to order take out. I would come here again to try out the noodles and the Kimchi potstickers!!

The food is still just as amazing as it's always been. It doesn't seem like anything has changed with the menu or the quality, which I'm happy about. The only small change I noticed is that the kids' meal now only applies to children under 5. That's not a huge deal, but personally I think it would make more sense if it were available for kids up to age 11. Overall, the new management seems to have made a noticeable improvement to the service while keeping the great food that keeps us coming back. I'm looking forward to visiting again.

    What a disappointing experience…read more I brought my parents (84-year-old mom and 92-year-old dad) to dinner at approximately 4:10 PM. The restaurant was nearly empty -- maybe 3-4 parties total. We were initially told by an employee to sit anywhere, then immediately afterward told we needed to sign in and wait. Confusing, but okay -- we signed in around 4:15 PM. Then we waited...and waited...in a mostly empty restaurant. I politely asked multiple times whether we could place an order. One waitress responded, "Sorry, I just got here," which did nothing to address the situation or explain the process. What became frustrating was watching a party of 10 get seated while several members of their group arrived later. We were told, while pointing to that group, "they were here first." Only 2 of the 8 were present when we arrived. Maybe they technically checked in first -- but from a customer perspective, when a nearly empty restaurant leaves elderly guests waiting without explanation while accommodating a large incomplete party, it feels dismissive and poorly managed. We left, utterly dissapointed. This isn't about getting special treatment. It's about basic hospitality, communication, and situational awareness. Recommendation to management: * Train staff on guest communication and ownership ("I just got here" is not a customer-facing solution). * Establish and consistently explain seating policies. * Empower hosts to use judgment for elderly guests and small parties when capacity clearly exists. * Review camera footage from approximately 4:10-4:45 PM to evaluate queue handling, staff coordination, and whether customer experience matched intended policy. Common courtesy and common sense are part of hospitality. This experience missed both. To Manager Ms. Nguyen, please address this.
