I always thought it was a clever name, but I finally got to try it! Walking in, definitely gives off "authentic vibes". Not much decor or ambiance setting music. Upon walking in we were promptly seated and attended to quickly for our order. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pho. It was very tasty soup broth, but the chicken was a bit overcooked and amount of chicken and shrimp wasn't as much as other places I felt. Our server was quick and pleasant and the food came out fairly quick. I would definitely go back to try other things. They did have a variety of choices to pick from including rice dishes and more!! read more

The spring rolls were yummy and a good size. My grilled pork chop was too grilled for my liking. When we were there, there was only one table for my friend and I. So, it is a popular restaurant. read more

food is decent. really bad customer service though. Do not upsize, it isnt worth the price

So I am redoing my review after the last couple of times we ordered here. I am not sure if it is because they expanded but food stunk. The salad rolls which should have shrimp in them were mainly stuffed with noodles, bland because no Thai basil and had barely any shrimp. Sauce that came with them was watery and too sweet. The rice paper was already ripping when we opened the container. The pork and shrimp dumplings were an odd orange colour and we could not distingish what was in them...didn't taste like any meat at all. the squid was mostly not. Tonnes of peppers, barely any squid. The vermicelli bowls were okay but not super flavourful. Went here for years and years, I will not be going back. read more

Please be careful if you have allergies!!!! Was served beef soup that had shrimp paste added to the broth... But according to chef, it was only a small pot amount added to a big pot! When initially asked, said only beef and pork broth. Then said it was just a bit of fish paste added. When question further on the phone (with hives breaking out and throat swelling and itchy) said then it was a small amount of shrimp paste added so it should have been fine!!! Shellfish can be a life threatening allergy and the staff were very nonchalant about it. The server was very brusk when ordering, serving and when asked for more water. Please be careful with ordering if you have allergies as it was hidden in a dish where it should not have been and staff didn't seem to grasp the seriousness. 90th Ave location read more

The soup was hot, fresh, and exactly what I needed. I had the spicy beef lemon grass and the broth was so tasty. I heard a table nearby order half noodles, which I might try next time (and actually get a photo). I will definitely be back! read more

I've seen reviews and a few pretty sweet instagram pics from this place, so here we go! We walked in and were instructed to sit wherever we wanted. Great, no waiting. We picked a spot by the window. We immediately received menus and our drink order was taken. Tea for me, Vietnamese coffee for hubby. Our order was taken very quickly, and drinks arrived soon after. We got an order of 4 spring rolls to share, decent flavour, but curious that there was no chilli garlic sauce on the table. We made do with sriracha and chilli oil. No biggie. Hubby ordered the pork & spring roll vermicelli bowl. Also curious was the fact that the noodles were served warm in this dish, as they've been served cold every other time he's ordered this dish elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't a bad thing, the warm noodles actually elevated the flavours in this dish. The grilled pork was excellent as well. Yum! I ordered a regular P1 w/no tripe and extra tendon. The soup was good, flavourful broth, tasty meatballs...but I did not receive the extra tendon I asked for (I have no problem paying extra for this if required). There were 3 tasty, but small pieces in there. One other thing, the noodles seemed to be freshly cooked rather that pre-cooked and added after. A small but nice touch. Once our food arrived, we had no other interaction with any staff other than when we got up to pay. No one asked how our meal was, no one brought us the bill. Almost like we were a nuisance, bordering on feeling like we'd been dismissed. Ok, so no warm fuzzies here. Good food, hot soup, chilly service. read more

This place never disappoints. It's fast and the food is delicious. Large portions for the price point too!

So for soup, aka, Pho, pretty good. But if you're in the mood for vermicelli, I would look elsewhere personally. Ordered the chicken vermicelli. The chicken was actual bland and tasteless. None of those amazing Vietnamese sauces or char on it. When I order chicken vermicelli, I want that delicious Vietnamese bbq sauce combination, (that I can't reproduce at home, no matter how many times I try), on my chicken. Maybe they just forgot to baste my chicken this one time, but we're all pretty judgmental on here as reviewers. We can only review what we eat. The plus side is they actual have pretty awesome Pho. read more

We were in the neighbourhood for an earlier evening event. I remembered how much I enjoyed this place in the past. So I suggested we walk over for supper. I still like this restaurant. Friendly service, large portions and speed of food service is consistent from when I was here a few years ago. We all enjoyed our meals and didn't feel rushed to leave our table. However the years seem to have caught up to the place. Floor is noticeably worn down where the chairs are sliding back and forth at the tables. Bathroom was tidy but nothing exceptional by any means. Definitely want to watch that slightly raised floor going out of the bathrooms or that could be a tripping hazard. Everything is decently clean within the restaurant but this would only be a casual lunch place for me in the future. read more

Came here after swimming and so the whole family was famished. Nothing like pho on a cold day. We had chicken dumplings which were excellent. For pho we had a king size beef with noodles and regular beef ball. Both came out steaming hot and yummy. Broth had good flavor but was not too salty. You know it's good when you finish everything including the broth. Staff and owner were very friendly. Quite busy but they were able to seat us. Parking is a little problematic as they have a small parking area. But there is plenty of street parking. Really hit the the spot. Owner said Happy New Year on the way out and seemed to really appreciate the business. read more

My favourite spot for Pho! My go to is the P4A, lots of meat and very fresh. Friendly staff. Great spot for lunch.

The food is very good. I always get the same thing at every Vietnamese place, so I have a good reference (Satay Beef Pho). This place has a fantastic blend of flavours with fresh, juicy meat. Seated fast, ordered fast, food came in an average time. It's about 15-25$ per person, depending, but you get a good amount of food for the price. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We have always loved the Pho King and used to bring my boys when they were little . Great place to take them when you want to bowl of pho and they want a burger or pancakes . It's been a few years since we've been and realized that it was a mistake . Best pho ever I say ! Best spring rolls and love the shrimp tempura! Now my grown boys want to meet me here cause they love Pho too read more

Oh, that name... now on to the food. When this was the only game in town (or on 118 Ave at least) this was pretty great stuff but since then others have come on the scene and changed the standard. Now the food seems just OK. I have been here many times and ever time the word that comes to mind is sloppy. Don't get me wrong. The place is clean and received a nice reno some time ago. It's not the atmosphere but instead the food. It feels like the kitchen just isn't worried about the little things and so the dish feels slapped together. For example, I had the King Special Pho recently. While eating I found the largest single piece of tripe I have ever seen put in a soup. I love tripe but it works best when in smaller pieces spread throughout ever bite. The crunch from tripe is a perfect balance to the softness of the noodles. In this case almost all of the trip was in one ginormous bite. On top of that the broth was mediocre at best, tasting more of onion than of bone. It made for a sour flavour overall. Sloppy. As for other items on the menu the sloppiness continues. The vermicelli bowls seem haphazard and a little dry. For the price they now charge I would expect more. With new competition in the area I would expect them to step up their game. read more

the noodles in the vermicelli bowl were too large and thick. that is not the noodle that is in most bowls. I had the v11 and the noodles were like thick like spaghetti. Also the peanut sauce taste cheap and gross. read more

Pho King opened up in the neighbourhood about a year or two ago. Since then we've ordered in/picked up a couple of times but had never eaten in the restaurant. Whenever we ordered out, me, my dad and husband would get one of their vermicelli noodle bowls that come with spring rolls. I was always impressed with the taste of the food, as certain Asian restaurants have been really hit and miss for me. We finally decided to go into the restaurant this past weekend to try out their namesake, pho! I went with my husband and a girlfriend. We shared green onion cakes ($2.25) and six dumplings ($4.95) to start. I really love dumplings, and quite enjoyed these pork and veggie filled ones. I had the P3 - brisket and flank pho - regular size. very reasonably priced at $6.45. The bowl was a little bit smaller than others I've seen, but still huge and I still didn't finish it! Nothing to complain about with the flavour - I enjoyed it! Service was quite fast when we first got to the restaurant. The waiter took our order and our food came out quickly. Once we had our food, though, we didn't really see him again. Maybe once. The restaurant is small and he was never far, so if we did need him for something we could have gotten his attention easily. This might bother some people, but it was kind of nice that we were left to just linger and chat for two hours on a Friday night. read more

Pho King. Such a cleverly named restaurant. Have you seen their brand/logo design? Amaze balls (buy a t-shirt!). I've hit up Pho King a few times by now (good spot when you want something quick and easy before hitting up Rexall Place) but this was the first time I've been to their newly renovated digs. Everything is much cleaner and aesthetically pleasing. The right hand side of the resto now consists of a counter instead of seating area. A and I stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. The place was reasonably busy with several tables full along with a few people popping in to pick up takeout orders. The menu is extensive with your typical Vietnamese offerings but they hilariously have a full page dedicated to Western foods/breakfast meals. Random but it must cater to the clientele in the area??? I'll never understand why so many other Viet/Asian places in town do this. Take a page from Pho Tau Bay's playbook and focus on one thing and do it well. Bonus, they're open everyday of the week (Sunday's now!). - Bun bo hue (P18) ($10.95 king) - I went with their bun bo hue because I've never had it here before. The broth was fragrant with a good depth and flavour profile. I found it to be a bit on the lighter/cleaner side if that makes any sense. The meat balls were delicious! A little bit of green onions and sliced onions gives their bowls an extra zip of flavour. Good stuff. - Grilled lemongrass chicken with kimchi (R23) ($13.95) - A was having some trouble deciding but eventually went with the grilled lemongrass chicken skewers over rice with a side of kimchi and vegetables. The lemongrass chicken had an odd texture to it that I can't even put in writing. It was cooked fine but it must have been the cut of meat that they were using. She only ate one skewer and I ended up taking the rest as leftovers. As for the kimchi, it wasn't very good - kind of flavourless and a chore to eat. Blah. This is why I rarely, if ever, veer from ordering pho at Vietnamese spots. On a previous trip, I went with a buddy before an Oilers game where we each ordered pho: - Seafood noodle soup (P17) ($10.95 regular) - a couple shrimps, kabuki, and shrimp balls. The broth was great - flavourful and clean tasting! Sort of sate style but with just a bit of spiciness to it. Definitely would get this again. - Rare steak and meatball beef noodle soup (P8) ($8.95 regular) - my buddy went to town on his bowl. There was nothing left after we finished devouring both of our bowls. Solid spot to grab a bowl of pho. Prices are reasonable and service is fast. Slightly ghetto area of town but that's part of it's charm. Don't let that hold you back from trying out Pho King. read more

Alberta Avenue boasts restaurants from just about every major ethnicity in Edmonton. However, Vietnamese noodle houses appeared to be missing. Until now. Pho King serves a variety of beef noodle soups and vermicelli noodle dishes, as well as some Japanese dishes like stirfry and tempura. For those who don't care for Asian food (but may be at the restaurant with someone who does), some Western fare, mostly burgers, are available. The most unique aspect of the menu is the all-day breakfast, featuring eggs, pancakes, and breakfast meats. Prices are in line with restaurants in nearby Chinatown. I had the beef vermicelli bowl with spring rolls. I opted for the veggie spring rolls (I don't do pork) and as always I held the fish sauce. The spring rolls were crispy and tasty. There was a lot of salad on top (not under the noodles) keeping it cold and crisp. The noodles were somewhat chewy and clumped - my only criticism. However, it was the beef that was the star of the meal. Two large skewers of grilled, lemongrass beef that were very juicy, thick, and flavourful. The skewer make it somewhat awkward to eat, but certainly not a deterrent. A friend who showed up later ordered the same meal (with the pork spring rolls and fish sauce) and also commented on how thick the meat was compared to other versions of the dish. Interestingly, her peanuts were served in a separate plastic container. I did not receive peanuts at all - probably because the server assumed there was an allergy issue (ordering something without fish sauce sometimes leads to such an assumption). Great food, service, and prices - I am going to have to head to Alberta Avenue more often! read more

I haven't ordered from here in awhile, they have always been good, but they've upped their game. Vermicelli bowls were fresh with lots of tasty meat and veggies including basil.. was super yummy! read more

Pho-king amazing. Delicious food, nice people, great service - and that was for take out! I HAVE to go back and try out the sit in version of the Pho King experience. Pho King has been on my radar for a wee while now, but I never seemed to be venturing down 118 to check it out - I'll tell you this, it's well worth the trip. I went for one of the vermicelli options - chicken and shrimp, my lovely partner in crime grabbed pork and spring roll whilst my veggie friend had a fried veggie stir fry with veggie spring rolls and my other buddy went for the Pho. All were reported as being delightfully scrumptious. I'll definitely be checking out Pho King again. So good I bought the Tshirt!! read more

With a name like this, it is unsurprising that Pho King has T-shirts and ballcaps for sale. The food was certainly worth it! I enjoyed some fried tofu and a curried chicken on noodles dish on my latest visit and the food was really quite good (that fried tofu was delicious!). I also enjoyed my tea. The bathroom was clean if a bit bizarre looking aesthetically. A popular place to visit in this area, I am pretty happy with the food quality and would certainly return. read more

Very good pho! One of the best broths in Edmonton. Bright natural lighting. Excellent service and seemed very clean on the front end. Another plus is they serve western food if you are in the mood for pho and someone you are with wants a burger. They also have all day breakfast. My wife took our kids to bathrooms which she said where gross and stunk. A good cleaning would be advised. Kitchens looked very clean though from what I could see poking my head around the corner. read more

Chicken wings with the best stuff on them ever! Wow. Yep. Very true food here. Hold your heads high you know what your doing you guys!!

After cancelling all my weekend plans due to snow, I decided Friday night for me would consist of a bottle of red and takeout. Pho King is nearby and it has a hilarious name so I had to check it out. I'm a fan of Vietnamese food so I ordered a few dishes to share with my family. The first was Grilled Lemongrass Chicken that comes with rice and salad. The chicken was very tender and thankfully the lemongrass flavour was not overwhelming, as it sometimes can be. The other dish was Stir Fry Beef which is nicely balanced with lots of yummy veg mixed in; cabbage, carrot and broccoli. Next time I'll opt for noodles instead of rice though. We also got a few spring rolls, they have beef, pork or veg. I had the beef roll and it was very tasty. I hate it when they are all stringy and dry. These spring rolls were packed to perfection, not too big so you can eat a couple and not ruin your main course. The dipping sauce was a winner and gave a nice fish/vinegar flavour to the pastry. We were after take out but the restaurant looked very pleasant and they have free wifi. I'll go back and sit in so I can have the pho, which has some great reviews. The server was very nice and really fast - he advised it would be a 10 minute wait but it was nowhere near that long. I'm not sure if time went in fast because I was laughing so much at the shirts and caps that are for sale. They obviously have a manager with a sense of humour and now I want to buy a 'Pho King Delicious' T-shirt. read more

Decent Vietnamese food (we've never tried the western menu so no comments on that). The peach shrimp appetizer is tasty, the green onion cakes are medium quality. Service is good and friendly. However the woman's bathroom was really disgusting. When flushed, the toilet overflowed a bit through the bottom, leaving dirty water all over the floor. This left a lasting impression that keeps us from returning too often. If the cleanliness overall were improved it would be a favourite spot for us. read more

Is this the best Pho place in the city? I'm not sure but it's darn tasty. I really enjoyed their soup and noodle. Good price as well. Great green onion cakes (tip dip it in the broth) The salad rolls we got (beef and shrimp) were only so so. My favorite part is the name ....heh pho king. heh. read more

Oh delicious Pho. This is one of the best places in the city for Pho. They have renovated the place fairly recently and it looks quite nice inside. Nothing fancy but it's clean and comfortable. Their Pho broth has to be some of the tastiest I have ever had. If you order the king size your likely only going to be able to finish half of it as the bowls are massive. Definitely a place to check out if your having a craving for pho. read more

Years ago it was a couple stars higher on the pho scale for me but they closed for renovations last yr for awhile and when they re-opened i went back and the pho wasn't all that great. The broth was blah and noodles not cooked properly really. The whole package was lacking so i haven't gone back. There are so many good other places now that it's not necessary to drive all the way over to this one. read more

I have been driving by this place for the past couple weeks to find the blinds down each and every time, so i was so excited when it was open today! Place is clean and has an old diner feel. Unusual that the menu also offers some western food options. I didnt even bother venturing into those lol. I got p1, their pho special, size small at 7.95. Service was fast and the basil+beansprouts were super fresh! I loved the broth - clean tasting and very flavourful. I liked the broth as much if not better than the broth at tau bay (which seems to be edmonton's golden standard for pho). There was also a good portion of meat, lovely long thick strips of tripe, and tons of ooey gooey tendon! . Unfortunately the rare steak was a bit more done than i wouldve liked, but i was all about the noodles!!! Omg perfectly chewy! Heaven!! And the owner even came to check on me. Omg that is unheard of in an asian restaurant!! So.. 4 stars for great broth, good proportion of meat to noodle, and fresh garnish, as well as good service. Will be back, and often :) read more

It was almost a year since I moved to Edmonton before I discovered this place but I am glad that I did. Located on 118th ave, this is your typical Vietnamese family restaurant. Nothing glitzy or glamorous, your typical asian diner type establishment. But they offer solid food at reasonable prices. I have tried a variety of items here on 3 visits and all have been good or great. The pho is good, comes in different sizes with all the usual accompaniments and is very filling. I just need to remember to ask for my beef on the side as I prefer to have it rare vs cooked by the broth. Their vermicelli bowls are satisfying, large portions and again they have the usual accompaniments like shredded carrots, cucumber and lettuce Salad rolls are good and they also have green onion cakes. Yes, I realize that's not a Vietnamese thing but I like them and am happy to see that they are ubiquitous in Edmonton compared to other Canadian cities I've lived in. Overall, a solid choice for Vietnamese food on the north side. Give it a try for a bowl of warm pho on a cold day and you won't be disappointed. read more

You can tell that the broth is made from scratch. Apparently took 12 hours! Love the side plate with fresh peppermint, bean spouts, lime and hot peppers. Healthy food, delicious flavour.
