    Update 02/04/22 Stopped in tonight for dinner ordered our usual dinner and when the lady gave me the total it was different from what I use to pay. I looked at the menu and all of the prices have gone up, so if you have a menu at home done go by the prices listed add at least a dollar to each meal. Even though the price has increased the food still tastes great.

    P1. Roast Pork with Chinese Vegetable

    Who knew that a small takeout Chinese restaurant attached to a gas station would be so good. WD are very impressed. The pork fried rice is rich and flavorful. They currently have a pickup window for orders during the Covid-19 shutdown. Call ahead. Well done China King.

    General Tso Chicken and Singapore Noodles DELICIOUS

    I've been so ill lately and I got my usual wonton soup for my husband and plain steamed shrimp and broccoli for me and my son. No sauce no rice. Very healthy and delicious and this place is amazing. Trying to live a healthy lifestyle is hard but places like this are my saving grace! I can eat out and it's 100% fresh and good for me

    Best Chinese around Calvert. The sesame chicken was everything I wanted it to be and more. Love that they give you a side of broccoli.

    So glad they were open New Year day We get a little sticker shock looking at the extensive menu,…read moreprices were a few dollars higher than most similar VN places but we want to like the food enough for future visits. The room decor is nice and music track of instrumental songs was pleasant for conversations We tried Bun Bo Hue the middle region spicy beef and pork soup, tempura salt and pepper garlic squid appetizer, and stir fry chaxiu roast pork & vegetables with pan fried egg noodle dish. Surprisingly, this restaurant has served me one of the best rendition of Bun Bo Hue , it has the right level of Unami and spice for my tastebuds to make it a return item better than others in many places I have tried in CA and NVA. The thinly sliced beef brisket and pork meat dumpling and roll were tender and flavorful to add interest to an amazingly complex broth cooked with probably toasted ginger, onion, bones, lemon grass, fish sauce, rock sugar and fermented shrimp paste. The only thing missing was the tender skin on pork feet and correct side herbs and vegetables for this type of soup. If they have these, I'll be there every week and gain weight fast. We liked the other dishes also for their great sense of seasoning and variety of fresh ingredients. Their dipping sauce for the squid is delicious. The stir fry noodles and pork tasted great to get a thumbs up from my son. The kitchen seems to know its business when it comes to taste. We will make it a point to return for other dishes as well to explore the range of their kitchen. I could see that they were a little understaffed so folks were a little impatient when the kitchen gets a little back up with orders. Service over all is good because the one waiter had to cover the dine in, carry out , and bussing the tables as well and has a chilled sense of humor to handle minor fussiness from hungry customers. People often don't tip folks in this type of ethnic restaurants even the normal 15 percent even on holidays. It is probably very hard to find dependable hard working service folks for small business these days.

    They desperately need to hire more people. One guy on a busy Saturday waiting all the tables,…read morecleaning them (not really), and ringing up at the register. There was another guy there smoking outside who could have helped. This is the only pho in Calvert County, and while it's priced slightly higher than pho in Northern Virginia, it's solid, and a dependable option here in this county. That said, the restaurant was so messy on Saturday, it was likely to drive potential customers away. Clean the tables, please! The area in the back on the way to the bathroom is a disaster too, but the front tables were covered with dirty dishes, and the debris from previous patrons. Good luck finding one clean/empty table at 6 on a Saturday. The food is good but if the interior stays like this, I'm very unlikely to to return much, unless I get take-out.

It was our first time here and we had absolutely no idea what to order. We just saw a bunch of people order soup and once they are out, they are out for the day and they cross it out. By the time we got there around noon, two out of the four available soups were gone. A lot of people were ordering to go and the soup looks substantial rather than soupy. The part about the decor is that you see a garage door in the middle of the place. It's quite chilly inside during winter time, but it has its charm. It's a small non descript place with lots of character and the food and coffee is good. This is one of those places where you're not really looking for a fancy place. You just want good food. This is the place. Get there early for the soup that you want.

    The food was amazing to say the least. It came out fresh and hot. The broth was very flavorful…read more with a strong umami flavor, the brisket was tender and soft. Keep in mind, you do have to ask for herbs (bean sprouts, Lime, Mint, and jalapeños) which is $1 extra. The chicken wings were super crispy and tossed generously in a sweet garlic sauce, although, I would skip if you don't like garlic. The tea was okay, very floral from the jasmine which kind of overtook the raspberry flavor. Our Order - 2x Pho #33 1x Garlic Lime Chick Wings 1x Raspberry Jasmine Tea Overall, it's a cute family owned Pho spot. The staff are nice and welcoming. They were busy so they were kind of rushy with taking orders but it didn't bother us much. The kitchen, storage area, and bathrooms were very clean. Definitely will visit again

    I heard about the line outside of the door of this place that sits only 30+ people…read more I saw them place a sign on the door an hour before closing that EVERYTHING is sold out. I ordered the curry...they're out, my back up plan was the homey chicken. FLAVORFUL is the word! I still need to go back and get the curry. Pho is in the title, and YES it is amazing the broth is magnificent! We met the owner her pride in her dishes is what makes me want to come back and the flavor!!! The calamari is A-mazing!! My only reason for a 4 and not a 5 is because they ran out of the dish I came for. This is a must visit. You will leave happy and full.
