Pho King is a hole-in-the-wall single room restaurant located in a strip mall which blends into the Fort Smith cityscape. I never would've thought to give it a try, but I was visiting friends who know the area well and they suggested it for lunch, in part because they love to pronouncing Pho King very fast, as if one word. (We are immature.) What Pho King lacks in ambiance is made up for in FLAVOR! My chicken vermicelli bowl was the kinda dish I could grub on everyday. The servings are ample, and it's a good thing because I could eat my weight in the seared meat, pickled veggies, and well-dressed rice noodles. While the environment leaves much to be desired, I found myself not caring one bit as I slurped up my noodles and discussed fish sauce with my friends. Give Pho King a try! It is really pho king good.... If you know what I mean ;) read more

Pho King - Chicken vermicelli bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

Best Vietnamese food place in town! Their food is great and their service is quick. I would recommend their Vietnamese iced coffee and com tam Would definitely be back! read more

How do you know when a place has good food? No matter what your answer, you will enjoy Pho King. I had the Korean BBQ ribs and shrimp wrapped in pork skins. The ribs were tender and tasty. The pork skinned wrapped shrimp was crispy, not at all too salty, and delicious. The carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes were high quality and fresh. Service was quick and polite. A family dining atmosphere. Would definitely stop in again. read more

Order takeout for lunch and the reviews are correct, this place is delicious. I ordered the Pho Nam, it was so delicious full of amazing flavors and prepared to perfection. They also give you everything you need for takeout soup. Perfect pho soup spoon was exciting plus sauces and all the veggies and utensils you'd need. I will definitely be ordering more every chance I get. So delicious keep it up. read more

Pho King - Pho Nam ToGo yummmmmm - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

Personally I have been here several times as a kid, usually me and my husband don't come here as first choice. And again the customer service is always lacking here, always have an attitude and it's always been the case. The food is amazing but the side of attitude is always in the back of the mind and I rather not deal with the people. read more

The Pho here is amazing! My husband got the spicy it is wonderful but not for the faint of heart. The service was wonderful and friendly.

This place right here is in my humble opinion the best in the area. kinda clean, may need a remodel but the food is off the charts. Now you may be the only non Asian eating in there so be prepared for the staring. I had the luxury of having a Asian female with me so the stares of hate were genuine from the elders lol I might have thrown them off a bit. I asked for the Hot chili sauce with the pink lid and I also asked for the pig blood in my Bun Bo Hue. He said "White people don't ask for that" lol Super good place to eat, excellent food, and a good price point. read more

The front desk has a bad attitude they need to hire outside family seems like family doesn't wanna work or knows the customer orders. Is it that hard to remember to bring them their beverages read more

My lovely wife informed me today that while she enjoyed her Pho for the most part, the chicken was dry. That's not really a reason to dock a star, bout the Ladies restroom was filthy. Yuck. So when you arrive, be prepared to encounter a little grime and done poor lighting. My food was great and I'm alive today to write this so there's that! I still think this place had some of the best Pho I've ever had. read more

The food here is really good and there are always lots of people eating here. Prices are reasonable. I especially love the spring rolls, their peanut sauce is amazing! The Vietnamese iced coffee is also a must. read more

Pho King - a plate of food on a table - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

The best restaurant to get pho and boba in Fort Smith. Their appetizers are amazing. You can't go wrong with the Pho King Platter. For entrees, I like to get the P1 or the Vermicelli Chicken. I like the Strawberry Mango Green Tea with Lychee Jelly and the Brown Sugar Milk Tea for boba :) read more

Great selection for the Asian food lovers, but lots of standard fare for the Pho King noobs. Pho joints have such a great niche, Pho King ups the usual pho faves w a broad selection of noodles, meats, veggies etc. The menu is double or triple the usual. I've probably been there 5 times and it's always solid. Even my NOT food adventurous mom enjoyed it. read more

Best pho in town. Food is brought out quickly. One of the most handsome and funniest managers ever. Tell them I sent ya.

pho king can satisfy that pho craving with your traditional bowl of hot bowl of beef noodle soup. I am particular about the pho that I consume and the key to the success of the pho at Pho King is the burst of beef flavor of the broth. Some restaurants may have more of a sweetness to their broth, but there are enough condiments to do that - but why would you want to? One sip of their beefy flavored pho broth here is one of the best ways to start off your meal. The service here is prompt as there won't me a long wait for your meal. I have eaten here three times and come away satisfied with their consistency every time. read more

Spring rolls were good, coffee bubble tea was also good. Service was quick and friendly. I'd come back if I ever drive through Fort Smith again. read more

Best Pho in Ft Smith. The people are great. It usually clean and the prices are a value.

My family loves this place! We range in age from 6-40 (there are six of us) and we all find something to enjoy. It is fresh and delicious, and the service is good. The spring rolls, egg rolls, and fried rice always hit the spot! The Thai Coffee and Thai Tea are fantastic! Highly recommended if you are new to the Ft., just passing through, or looking for a new favorite! read more

The best pho in Fort Smith. It's a family favorite for the weekends. Would highly recommend.

This place is owned and ran by a family. It's a great atmosphere here! The pho is very good! Especially the beef. Very clean broth. Our vegetables came fresh. Large basil leaves and fresh sprouts. Tai, who took our order was very professional. He's very boujie. He's "that guy." PK Thai Green tea is amazing as well. Overall, great Viet food. Would recommended. read more

Spot is neat and the food is usually fresh. Recommended! Great price and the staff is really nice. Space is also pretty big.

Amazing Pho in Fort Smith. I was so impressed and it exceed my expectations. And the service was excellent.

Being from Houston which has an extremely large Vietnamese population and a plethora of Vietnamese restaurants I usually judge the cuisine by high standards. Pho King is legit! I had the Mi Xao Don and it was done better than many in Houston. As far as service, it was great. No frills, courteous and prompt. People need to know that Vietnamese restaurants aren't supposed to be a 5 star service or even 4 or 3. It's like the fast food version of dining in terms of fast quick food. Also, they don't expect you to tip the same like chain restaurants either. You need to manage your expectations read more

Ate here while driving through Fort Smith. The waiter was nice, but service was so slow. We waited over 30 mins for food and one of the dishes was forgotten and took another 10-15 mins to be brought out. The boba tea was also very powdery. The quantity of the food was large, but lacked in flavor. read more

The owner works very hard at running this restaurant, and her attention to her food and menu shows it. We went in on a cold and wet day to get some pho in order to warm up, and were sat down immediately. Shortly thereafter, water with lemon wedges came along with their menus. The owner herself was working the front as both a hostess and a waitress! The food was excellent. We had their shrimp spring rolls first. Their rice paper wrap was not ripped at all. Their shrimp tasted fresh, with abundant herbs and bean sprouts to add additional layers of flavor. Their dipping sauce struck the right balance between sweet, sour, and hotness. Then came the pho. It was hot, salty, and full of bold flavors. In other words, just the way we like it. The owner also gave us plenty of basil, sliced jalapenos, bean sprouts, and other herbs, to go along with our pho. Finally, after the meal, we asked the owner where we can go to get Asian groceries (since it was our first time in Ft. Smith), she provided very detailed information for us. Overall, our dining experience was exemplary. The owner is beautiful too ;) So, go and enjoy a great meal. You'll be a repeat customer just like us. read more

Well.. I got the Chicken Fried Rice. It's super onion heavy and full of DARK MEAT chicken. I'm not a fan of dark meat chicken. Green Papaya is far superior in... quality of food, service & facilities. This place is pretty dumpy, the service isn't friendly and the food, while it tastes ok, certainly isn't special and the quality of the meat is poor. Better spots in FSM to get a bite. read more

We were craving hot Pho soup when in the area. Very happy to have found this place. The decor was simple but clean, the service was good and fast! Food was very good - does not have the strong MSG taste as some other Pho places we'd been to. We all enjoyed our Beef Pho soups here very much. read more

In the mood for "Chinese food," we followed Yelp reviews and wound up at Pho King. Food: we had spring rolls (2 chicken and 2 shrimp) for appetizers. They were light and mildly flavored, served with a flavorful thick peanut sauce. We each had Pad Thai for our entrees, mine chicken, his shrimp. Tasty, noodles firm, crisp sprouts. I liked the shrimp best, as they were seasoned and grilled. Huge glass of sweet iced tea, only $1. Total came to $15. Ambiance: I'm confused about the "dumpy" comments in the reviews. Look, it's a Vietnamese restaurant in a tiny strip mall. Maybe that colors my expectations. It was plain- white walls without decoration, black and white tile on the floor ( scuffed but clean), black tables, black chairs and booths, all in good repair. Bathroom scuffed but clean. Dumpy? No, not at all. What were the other reviewers expecting when the lunch entrees are less than 7 bucks each? Service: again, I read the reviews before we got there, where I learned that the staff were surly. There was only one server, so I'd call her preoccupied not unfriendly. Every time I said, Thank you, she said, You're welcome. We did get her to smile at the end, but I noticed that she never once made eye contact. Cultural difference? Service was fast and she checked on us twice. There was an elderly man cleaning tables. I'm going to call him Tired. In summary, the food was as good as previous good reviews indicated, the place plain but clean, the staff efficient but overworked. I would definitely go there again, and this time I'd like to try the pho. read more

Im in love with their bubble teas, and grilled chicken spring rolls! Amazing food! Great place to go eat at! definitely recommend this restaurant read more

I think the info on the restaurant is all wrong. This is a casual restaurant with great food. Pho is excellent! Would go there again when I'm in Fort Smith. Authentic. Service is good and friendly. read more

Last Saturday, just dropped by to order to go, the lady as a owner and manager look at me and said, no order to go because so many customers waiting their food on dine in area???what the heck a owner can talk to customer like that? 1 star o 2 star? read more

Right off the bat, you're probably thinking, "Pho King? There must be a typo". Well, let me tell you why "Pho King" is so "Pho King" great! There are a variety of Chinese and Vietnamese cuisines to choose from. Personally, I thought the pho is delicious and I would definitely come to eat there again. A small bowl of pho is not what it seems. For a $7 small bowl of pho, you'll definitely be filled up when you've finished the bowl (That is if you've managed to finish it). read more

The vermicelli bowls and pho at this place are awesome. Best Vietnamese in Ft. Smith. The only problem Pho King is that they close early so check their business hours. read more

I've eaten here just about every Thursday for the past 4 or 5 months and I still get as excited when Thursday comes rolling around. It's the best Vietnamese restaurant in Fort Smith! Crab Rangoon for an appetizer makes life a lot better. read more

Just moved to Arkansas from San Diego and searched high and low for a Pho place that was as good as the places I go back home...this place is a very close 2nd. Awesome service and the rare steak pho was delicious! Will definitely be back. read more

This is the best Pho soup ever. My first time here. Good service great food!! If you are a real Pho soup lover this is the place. Near Lake Merritt by Lucky Store read more

Pho King is my favorite place to get pho and egg noodle soup. What makes it great is the broth--it's flavorful and light, a difficult combination to achieve. Also, I like the variety of condiments and herbs offered, especially Thai basil and plenty of limes. I like my soups on the spicy/sour side. Besides pho and egg noodle soup, I've had the crab wontons as an appetizer. Not my favorite, but pretty good. Husband had rice and stir fried vegetables with chicken before. He liked it. I find myself wanting to try other items, but can't pick anything other than pho or egg noodle soup. Service could be improved. I'm accustomed to saying, "Thank you," then receiving "You're welcome" or "No problem" as a response. Instead, I'm often met with a nod or a "Uh huh." However, service is very quick. Between all the pho restaurants in Fort Smith, I would choose Pho King every time. read more

Great food - super quality, large portions, great value; friendly staff - waiters, register, kindly old man who cleans table and always says hello; adequate setting - owner has been trying to get landlord to upgrade with frustrating results, but they do their best and it works. We're not the type who go for show. We're more interested in taste and attitude of the staff. We return here weekly and have for over two years, since we first found it. Highly recommended. read more

Our first time in Fort Smith. What a great authentic treat this place was. Nice sized portions of deliciousness. Good and friendly service.

This is really good food. I've been here a couple of times and it's got some really good food for the price. Great Pho, great Bubble tea, everything I've had was really just great food. read more
