    The service was really accommodating and helpful but it doesn't help the over quality of the dish. The spring rolls were hard like they were made days ago and put in a fridge. The rice paper around it was tough to chew. The pho broth itself was okay nothing too crazy. The beef ribs that came with it weren't easy to chew and tasted pretty nasty. The environment was nice. There weren't that many people during lunch time so we were seated pretty fast and had our orders brought fast. Which can be a bad thing.

    I've had good VietNamese food in Philadelphia and San Jose. I even had some good VietNamese food here but that restaurant is gone. I've known about this place since it opened. It sounded a bit too expensive and I didn't think that it would be good enough. Two or so years later, I tried it and I wouldn't return. I looked for the Com Dia section but there was not much. I ordered the Com Bo Luc Lac and Iced Tea. The server brought Thai Tea. I should have said Tra, so she would known that I didn't mean Tra Thai. In just a little bit more, the rice dish arrived. Oh, and I had to ask for chopsticks. I know that they wouldn't want to leave them at the table because someone would take them all, but still, it's inconvenient to ask. It looked appealing, but the chewy meat had me working toward a migraine headache. It had some sweet sauce, which I don't remember being a part of this dish, much like the Banh Mi from the other place I tried recently. The rice was the best part of the meal. It came to $23.36, which is bad for the portion and the quality of the beef.

    Ordered Pho from Uber eats and whoever packed my order didn't put any bean sprouts, cilantro, etc for sides for pho. Small portion too. This is my 2nd time ordering and continue to make mistakes. So disappointing.

    Super cold outside so a good soup sounded appealing. Decided to try this spot to see what it's all about. Clean and bright when you walk in, quickly greeted and seated. I ordered pho with no meat (kept the beef broth, just wasn't feeling anything too heavy today). Also ordered the potstickers. The pho hit the spot for me and I'm more than full. The potstickers were a little on the oily side for me. Not sure I'd order them again, but the flavor was there. Once you finish, you pay up at the counter.

    Wanted a Vietnamese sandwich fix and had to try out this location since I've tried a few other locations in the Manteca area. It was good and I did finish it all for one meal. Normally I eat half and it did look bigger than most but I don't know if I will return for the sandwich again unless the other locations are closed. They are in a convenient popular location on a main road near a bunch of other stores and restaurants with tons of parking. The space inside is spacious and a great setting for family and friends to enjoy a meal....not a first date place but definitely for couples that have been together for awhile. There was a very pricey item on the menu and the employee said it was a popular dish but I don't recall seeing it on yelp yet. I'm not a pho soup fan but if I ever find someone that is and willing to pay that much I'll post more about it but I really came for a sandwich anyways Price was reasonable as well as the wait time...I took to go

    This place has a delicious short rib (kalbi) dish. It is so delicious that even though my family was craving Pho and ordered Pho, we still order a plate of this. This dish does come as an individual serving and not like a family style dish so the two of us have to fight for the meat. Next time we may need to just get our own plates in addition to our own Pho! I also like their Vermicelli Bowl with egg rolls. The egg rolls are fried nicely to a crisp and the inside of them are filled nicely! This is my favorite item for takeout. They gave me a peanut sauce too in addition the fish sauce. This was a first and it was eye opening in a good way! The service is nice too! The servers were always helpful whenever we had to ask for additional water, bowls to share with the kids, and anything else. To pay, you just go up to the registers. The restaurant is nice and newly remodeled. They also have a crane game

    The first time I've tried the Pho, it was in the Stockton location. I didn't like it because I thought it was overpriced and the broth was bland. Then I came here to the Manteca location and it made me think differently. The broth is very well. Today I had the Bun Bo Hue and it was not that bad. Service is nice and tidy. Very friendly servers and the decor is nice. Very authentically Vietnamese inspired design. I prefer location more over the Stockton location. Great job!

    I really wanted to the The Pho because I can definitely see the potential of this restaurant that opened mid 2023. Manteca actually has a ton of Vietnamese options so there is plenty of competition. I thought overall the food was decent. The service is pretty good and the interior of the restaurant is actually pretty well done. I like the little claw game machine that they have inside too. What my table ordered: - The Pho special combo appetizer ($12) - Cold cut combo (Banh mi nguoi) $9 The Pho special combo appetizer came with spring rolls, egg rolls, and fried shrimp rolls. I thought the egg rolls were solid, but wish there was an option for fish sauce although sweet and sour works too. The spring roll left a bit to be desired. The shrimp was a little rubbery and there wasn't enough veggies inside for my taste. I ordered the Bahn Mi with the cold cuts and the bread was good and had a flakey crust. I did feel they sort of skimped out on cucumbers and the carrot/radish. I wish there was a little more cold cuts too because I've had some at other places that had a larger portion. I also tried the pork variation, but the marinade for the pork tasted very peanuty and almost a bit too sweet. Also the basket that held my sandwich had a dead gnat on it, but luckily there was paper covering it...Oh well, can't always control nature. The Pho was a bit of a mixed bag especially with the food, but it's hard to fully judge without even trying their Pho which is their specialty. It's definitely worth giving it a 2nd shot to explore their menu fully. I would say it's still not a bad spot and it's still worth a 1st visit.

    Food is decent. Comes out quick. Service is good when they aren't short staffed (@management). I come here maybe once or twice a month. Not sure if I'll be coming back since the last few times I've been here the music has been so loud, it makes this place insufferable.

    I was Rolling around Manteca when I saw the Pho!! Perfect Timing!!! I rolled into the Strip mall they are located in and Parked my Whip!!! I rolled in like a Boss and grabbed table 3 and setup shop!!? I perused the menu my Waitress brought to me!!! I ordered a large number 1 Pho Dac Biet!!! 15 minutes later they delivered my Pho piping Hot to my Table with all the Condiments!!! I added some Condiments to my Pho!! The Broth was Delicious and the Real Deal!!! The Meat and Noodles were Delicious and Tender!!! To the Bite This is the Real Deal Holyfield!!! The Pho is a Classic Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment'!!! I'll be Back!!!!

    My fried egg was overcooked and not over easy.

    Got the Combo Plate and added a fried egg plus a Thai Milk Tea. The thai milk tea was ok but could use a bit more sweetness. The combo plate was a pork chop. They forgot my fried egg and my partner had to go remind them. The pickled carrots with radish tasted off-- it was not a sweet tang like I expected. The meat itself was perfect along with the egg roll it came with. Nước chấm was decent. When they finally got my fried egg out it was overcooked. The food was decent overall. The service was friendly.

    Gotta hand it to this place, they are close enough to Great Wolf Lodge that we've gotten takeout…read morehere year over year during our annual trips and it sure beats fast food in their own facility. Great pho and vermicelli options, huge portions, everything's always packaged up well and very reasonable price. Thanks King Pho for being our go-to every year when we want to be warmed up / fed after a day at the water park!

    My dad suggested King Pho Vietnamese for lunch today, so we decided to give it a try…read more We started with the fresh spring rolls--two rolls cut in half. They were served with more of a hoisin-style sauce instead of the typical peanut sauce. A little different, but still had good flavor overall. My dad ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was much bigger than what you usually get at other places. He said it was really good and definitely filling. ($6.95) I ordered the mild beef stew pho. It wasn't quite what I'm used to--the meat wasn't the typical stew cut and had more fat and gristle, with only a few pieces of beef. It wasn't my favorite, but the broth itself had good flavor. It also came with rice noodles, carrots, and even a couple pieces of lettuce, which was a bit different. Looking around, other dishes coming out looked really good. I'd definitely come back to try one of their sandwiches next time. Service was quick approx 30 seats. The ambiance was casual and welcoming clean, relaxed, and a comfortable spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. Nothing fancy, but it had a nice local feel.

    I read the reviews prior and they brought me here to see for myself …read more The service from walking in the door was prompt and very welcoming. I ordered a chicken torta which in my opinion is now gonna be a go to for me when I'm in Manteca. The chips and salsa were fresh and very good. This is a family friendly restaurant and the decor inside is very nice . If you'd like to have a drink with your meal they have a full bar set up and if I wasn't driving , a margarita would've been a perfect match with my torta ... Definitely a revisit by me will happen and I will pass this on to friends and family that will and are in the area.

    I thought I'd get some lunch to go. Ordered what I wanted…read moreplus the drink. I asked if I can get a couple of slices of Limes or lemons with my burrito that I had ordered at the counter.... The front counter lady said it would have to be an extra cost for a couple of slices of lemons or limes.....I asked her to run that be me again. She said it will coast extra for slices of limes or lemon. She said that Is their rule...it blew my mind That asked for limes for Mexican Food At charge . That was Greed and lacked any customer Satisfaction for 2 slices of lemon or lime. It is common practice that all Mexican Latino restaurants, taquerias, That serve Mexican food will Not charge for 2 slices of lemon or lime Cmon el Jardin you lost a good customer Over charging for lime slices...unbelievable It's the point of them just being greedy . Also on all Honesty el jardin manteca is priced way over the top for average Mexican food. !
