    Volcano roll and Playboy roll.
    Doug H.

    Celebrated a late birthday lunch for my son. He chose Pho Shiki in Columbus, Indiana. We have been there several times and agreed to his selection. I almost always get the Rare beef Pho as my entree. It remains one of my favorites right behind Number 1 Eggroll in Beech Grove, Indiana. The ingredients are always the freshest possible. We had two appetizers and two sushi rolls. The appetizers and entrees were very satisfying and delicious. The sushi is something I would not order again. Not bad but presentation was sloppy and taste was average. The entrees were all sensational. Service was awkward. The waitress that started with us and got our drinks was allowed to leave early. And it took a lapse in time before the person who allowed her to leave early, notified another server that we needed help. THIS ONLY OCCURRED AFTER A WAITRESS NOTICED MY LOOK OF DESPAIR AND INQUIRED. That server did an amazing job filling the gap. The management is weak as evidenced by the unprofessional communication between employees in ear shot of diners. Bottom line: Food great, Service ok, management and atmosphere is lacking.

    I was hoping to like this place a lot more than I did. You walk in, and there were boxes stacked everywhere. The place was not clean. I ordered the small pho. It was a very nice size for small. The broth was good and the vegetables were fresh. Where I had an issue was the shrimp. They were not deveined. I had to devein my shrimp before I put them into the broth. This was my first experience of a restaurant not serving deveined shrimp. The reason for the three star was the broth was tasty, and the service was quick.

    Well Done Beef Pho
    Heather N.

    I got the well done, beef pho. My husband got the shrimp one. We both loved it!! Added a lot of sriracha to mine I love they they have them at the tables. The service was great! All the servers kind of work together and tag team so service is super good. And the speed of getting the food was very fast. It's not too loud in there and we were there during lunch time so I was pleased about that. My husband said he wants to go back again very soon and I agree!

    overly burnt spring rolls and old veggies
    Marri G.

    I was disapppinted in this restaurant. I was hoping for great pho, being one of the few asian restaurants in Columbus. However, the food was not very fresh. My Viet iced coffee tasted like it was regular coffee moxed with some condensed milk, no strong Viet coffee flavor I had hoped for. Usually not a big deal but in aggregate with everything else it added to the negative revoew. The fried spring rolls were overly burnt which I'm guessing is from being frozen and refried. The veggies I got were old and not fresh (cucumber was not crunchy, and the pickled veggies were very old). What was presented as agedashi tofu was just some thinly fried tofu topped with sesame seeds and a side of chili sauce, instead of the traditional tsuyu sauce. Nothing close to what is considered agedashi tofu. The last thing negative thing i noticed was the beansprouts for my pho was black on the ends and again, not fresh. Perhaps it is inaccessability of fresh asian ingredients nearby but these things all negatively impacted my review. I did not try it but I was told the sushi was good by the people I ate with.

    Shrimp Bun
    Erikka T.

    We love coming here for their huge menu as everything we have ever tried is absolutely delicious! You also get a good value for your dollar here! Have you ever tried Vietnamese Vermicelli? It is also known as "Bun", this fresh dish is served with different ingredients and a side of fish sauce. I highly recommend the shrimp! Never tried fish sauce? It's delicious and adds the perfect flavor to this dish! This beauty is from Pho Shiki in Columbus, Indiana. If you Love to #supportsmallbusiness like I do, check them out!

    The service and atmosphere very nice. Multi- color lighting added to the dinning experience.

    Service has gone down beyond belief. I hate to see this restaurant with great food the way it is. Workers don't know how to manage the influx of people coming in and out. There have been various times where we arrive about 30 min before close and they tell us we can't be served but we can do take out. Makes no sense. I really enjoyed the food here. Hopefully they can get their service back to the way it used to be....

    Pho with meatball and raw egg. Very flavorful soup
    Felicia C.

    My friends and I agreed that for a pho place in a "middle of nowhere" (we live in L.A. so we have access to unlimited Asian food. We have tasted some of the best pho there), this place was BOMB and impressive. We had a spring roll with warm peanut sauce for appetizer. It was very good. This dish had our nods. Then we had the meat combination pho with raw egg and grilled pork with rice. The pho soup was very flavorful and the meat was good. The grilled pork with rice tasted similar to the ones in L.A. and it did not disappoint. Amazing overall.

    It's delicious. Pho-real.
    Daniel F.

    If you are looking for delicious PHO or a restaurant that just can't seem to serve a meal that doesn't taste amazing, look no further. Seriously though, I'm blown away every time I come here and am grateful we have it here in Indiana. The crab rangoon here, I exaggerate not, may be the best on the planet. Okay, at least the best I've ever had. It's THAT good. Crunchy, warm, and bursting with flavor. The PHO is refreshing, fresh-tasting, with wow flavors and fast preparation. I personally like my decorated with jalapeños and with extra beef. The salmon sashimi is also shockingly fresh and tasty. Their sushi overall is top-tier and their sashimi is no exception. In short, the journey is over. This is the PHO place you've been looking for. The sushi place. And the Asian cuisine place. If you haven't had it yet, be ready to get wowed. Because yes, it is that good.

    Yummy

    Decided to try something new and took my girl on a date So far so good never had this type of food before my first time and it's honestly really good professional waiters and pretty clean restaurant

    Very decent, the bean sprouts were not fresh at all but the pho was good

    There's a reason for the great reviews at Phi 36.....the service and food are extraordinary!…read more Hong, our host and server, greeted us on entering and immediately took our beverage orders. He was gracious, welcoming and attentive. There's an awesome personal vibe here, down to the wrapped chop sticks. The menu is a blend of Asian dishes, but specializes in Pho. I ordered the "Chicken Noodle Soup Pho" which is delicious, like a warm hug. The broth is light and flavorful, the chicken tender, the noodles, bean sprouts and cilantro so fresh. It was the best Pho I've had in Indiana. The large portion is enormous, I couldn't finish it! My husband had the Grilled Beef Banh Mi sandwich. If you've never had a Banh sandwich, you don't know what you're missing. The beef was tender, the bread toasty and so many great flavors. This locally operated cafe is cozy with ten small tables. They do a robust carry out and in house service. The place fills up at lunch time. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. The single restroom is clean and tidy. I highly recommend! Easy 5 Stars!

    I can only speak for myself but I was a little disappointed with the size of the Banh mi I ordered…read morefor takeout. It came deconstructed for some reason and for $8 it seemed quite small. Flavor wise the sandwich was good, I can't deny that. Maybe it was the fact it was takeout but the mix of size and necessity to build my banh mi was a knock overall.

RHS bills itself as 'Vietnamese Fusion' and I have no idea what that might mean, but it was good. Very good. We went on a cold day, so eating on the outside deck wasn't an option. The interior is a basic strip mall location with a decent number of tables and plenty of seating, albeit a bit cramped. It's counter service, so it pays to take a look at the menu in advance and know what you want before you arrive. Paid at the counter, and they came to our table with the food very quickly. I had the 'Be Kind to Each Other' Chicken Pho which came with the usual sides of sprouts, basil, lime and noodles. You could upgrade your noodles if you wanted. I also added an order of cajun fries, which doesn't really seem like a 'Vietnamese Fusion' choice, but I love cajun fries so who was I to question them? The Pho was terrific. Loved it. The fries were very very good, though maybe a bit generous on the cajun. Still very good, and I definitely will return for this meal again. Friend ordered the Spam Banh Mi. Seriously???? Well, he did. And he said it was very good. You actually pay $0.50 extra for spam. Again, not sure what world you pay extra for the Spam but he did it. He selected the Fire Engine Tim sauce, which was to be spicy. When I pressed him for more details on the quality he said it could be spicier even with that sauce, but otherwise it was very good. He said to point out on Yelp that "That Diet Coke was clutch" - he may have been making fun of my questioning :) All in all a very good experience and I'll definitely return. I don't find much good pho in Bloomington, so it's nice to have a place for that. I won't be eating Spam anytime soon. I'm giving 4 stars only because the seating was a bit cramped and it was busy inside. I would go 4.5 if it weren't in a strip mall and pretty 'basic' ambiance. And that canned Diet Coke is clutch!

    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for a quick meal in town. The menu is Asian…read morefusion, mainly Vietnamese and Thai. There's a lot of choices on the menu and many entrees are customizable with your choice of protein and/or sauce. The place is very vegan/vegetarian-friendly; they have a handful of vegan protein options and most sauces are vegan, if you do try to order a non-vegan sauce with a vegan protein, they'll check to make sure that's okay, vegannaise is available for banh mi, and they will also remove the egg from the entrees containing egg AND take off the price of the egg. Their food may not be totally traditional but I really enjoy it. The level of "authenticity" will vary depending on what you order and which sauces you get in the customizable entrees. Their banh mi bread is different from the banh mi bread I'm used to but I actually like it a lot more. It's crustier and more tender than the usual banh mi bread, closer to a French-style baguette. They stack on lots of fresh veggies. The tofu is thinly-sliced and fried for tenderness that gives it a somewhat similar texture to deli meat. You can also get any banh mi combo as a wrap with the same ingredients, and while the wrap is good for a change of pace, I have to say I prefer the banh mi because the bread is so good. Their other entrees are also delicious and come in hefty portions. Their mapo tofu is the best vegetarian mapo tofu I've ever had. I usually get a Thai iced tea when I come here. It's strong and just the right amount of sweet. I appreciate the oat milk option! I recently tried the Thai iced coffee and that was also really good. Lastly, the staff who work here are very friendly! It seems like a small operation but they work efficiently so I've never had to wait too long for my order! The only thing that's left to be desired here is that everything is served in takeaway containers and they only have plastic cutlery (except spoons for some reason), but I don't know what they're dealing with in terms of capacity to use actual dining ware, so I am not letting that affect my rating.

Before adding any sauces, I wanted to try the broth by itself. And when I did, that's when I knew that Pho 21 has secured me as a customer. I truly didn't have to add any sauces, but what is pho if I didn't add some razzle dazzle. I left with my tastebuds satisfied and lips with a slight sizzle. Ha! After all, if your lips don't sizzle, did you really have Pho? Ha!
