This place was spectacular. I ordered the standard PHO dish with beef. The flavour was robust, delicious, and a little sweet. The lime and vegetables were a good touch as always and the food was served quickly in about 10 or 15 minutes. The waiter was nice and got me some chili oil when I asked for it. I also ordered the jasmine tea which was very tasty and only got better as it became stronger. Some of my friends didn't get the PHO and didn't say anything good or bad about their meals. Those of us who got the PHO were very happy with the meal. I would highly recommend ordering PHO from here if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. I would rate this place 8/10 if not higher. read more

King Wok - Standard PHO but tasted way beyond standard. Order this and you will not be disappointed. - Vietnamese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Have a hankering for Vietnamese cuisine? This is the place to go! I am never disappointed in the quality of my meal or service because they always go above and beyond my expectations. What to order? I love their crab rangoon for an appetizer, general tsao chicken for my main course, and tempura ice cream for dessert. Honestly though, you can't go too wrong with what you order here! It's fun to be adventurous and try some of their other dishes. For instance, my friend got one of their Pho Chay soup (veggie rice noodle soup), and she loved it! King Wok always gives great portion sizes, but I usually am able to take some home for leftovers. Highly recommend!! You won't be disappointed! read more

We love King Wok! It's our favorite Vietnamese restaurant. A friend of ours got a huge selection of options and brought them over to our house after we had our baby. Everything is very authentic - with the exception of Americanized staples like crab Rangoon, which I of course love. Their pho is really great. read more

Normally this is one of my favorite places to eat. Today, it was lacking. I brought my son here because I wanted him to experience what I do going there. First we waited for a table that we were told would be cleaned soon. It wasn't so when we saw a couple leave whose table was pretty clean, we took it instead. The waitress (~5 minutes later) asked if we were ready to order. I told her we'd need menus first. So I order '2 Vietnamese coffees with extra cream'. She brought out one...in a small to go cup! So much for my son getting the experience of building his ice coffee! I ordered us appetizers. They brought them and I asked for saucers. Never received them. Ordered the very large shareable seafood soup. I saw her set out one bowl to bring to the table so she she brought the soup I told her we'd need two bowls. She had to go back to the kitchen and get them. I'd ordered food to go. I got the pleasure of watching 3 employees all open each of my food containers and some of the containers repeatable. Yeah, that food is going to be warm when I get it home. The appetizers were good...shrimp tempura and soft shell crab... except they didn't put any sauce with the crab. The soup tasted good (love the broth) but the calamari was very tough to chew. I'm disappointed but I'm going to live & learn from the experience and not come on a busy day like Mother's Day. Maybe then they'll have the clean items to let me mix my own ice coffee, clean saucers for the appetizers, and clean bowls already in place. read more

Best Pho in town. I always get the sliced beef pho and the egg rolls. So so so delicious

Smashingly good. A bit of everything that you want from multiple Asian countries.

I can't believe that I worked in this area for about three years before I tried King Wok. Honestly I assumed it was your standard $4.25 lunch special menu that is all over the city. How wrong I was. The fried shrimp balls on sugar cane sticks are different but good, the spring rolls wrapped in rice paper is awesome, the cashew chicken is the best I have ever had and I am just now getting into different kinds of Pho. So far the Pho Ga is my favorite (Chicken rice noodles soup). They make a mean Avacado milkshake too. However I would highly reccommend the # 41 Hanh Xeo (pan fried rice flour pancake with shrimp, pork and onion) it is amazing! Enjoy!! read more

Fast quick friendly service. Really good egg rolls. I love their Singapore Rrevecca noodles. But everything was have tried has been good.

My dad lives in Indianapolis, and he loves Pho. I usually go to Saigon, but they weren't open the day after Thanksgiving. He brought us to King Wok, because "the broth is better". But the down side to the better broth at King Wok vs. Saigon was that, Saigon had more meats and beef balls in the Pho order. The broth at King Pho was AMAZING. One of the best pho I've ever tasted. It was rich, but not too heavy. It had multiple layers of flavors and it was like a nice warm blanket. We were gonna eat it there, but my nephew was throwing a fit, saying that he wanted to go home. And my niece, of course, wanted to stay. Children. So we took the food home instead. Of course, Pho is way different fresh out the kitchen, vs. taken home and let the broth cooled. Even togo, the broth was really good. read more

It's been a while, so this is an old review. But recent reviewers at other Indy dining web sites still give this place high marks. I agree with all the good reviews about this place. I was there for lunch. The tables were almost all occupied as we arrived at the height of the lunch hour around 12:30pm. People who had phoned in carry-out were also almost constantly entering to pick up their orders. Most of the customers were Asian, with a smattering of Caucasians. A good sign. And I suspect some of the Asians were other than Vietnamese, too. Which is also a good sign. The waitress and waiter/bus-boy were Vietnamese, and spoke (what I assume was) Vietnamese to the rest of the kitchen staff. I had the Pho Ga: rice noodle soup with chicken. It was excellent. Bean spouts, lime wedges, green habanero (or jalapeno?) pepper slices, and the green leafy stuff were served on a separate plate, so you could add them to your taste, and so the bean sprouts would stay crisp. The table had a bottle of Hoisin sauce, and another bottle of some hot sauce. Watch out for the Hoisin sauce, read the ingredients, it's almost entirely sugar and salt. The food arrived in a timely manner, but the waitress/hostess was overworked due to the crowd, so she wasn't as attentive as one would expect in a nice restaurant. The prices were very reasonable. They are located on the West side of Lafayette Road, just North of Lafayette Square mall. They are opposite the Value City Furniture store on the other side of Lafayette Road. They are located in the same building as the Sherwin Williams paint store, and the Patel Brothers market. read more

Great pho! Service was good. I ordered #102 and as soon as I ordered it my waiter told me great choice! He was right it had a good variety of meat , I will definitely be back read more

King Wok - #102 - Vietnamese Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

A friend brought me here for pho when I told her the quality of my pho go to restaurant went do and boy am I glad she did! Tucked away in this little strip mall, its a small restaurant and full when we went for dinner. The seafood pho was very flavorful and enjoyable. I highly recommend Food: 5/5 Location: 4/5 Service: 3/5 read more

This is my prefered Vietnamese restaurant in Indianapolis. They have some Chinese stuff on the menu but avoid those but it can be accommodating if you have eaters not willing to try new things. Stick to the things that you have never heard of or that you know are Vietnamese. Their appetizers are delicious. I often just order from the appetizer section. In particular .....I can't remember the Vietnamese names of any of these but.... there is a dumpling appetizer that has Vietnamese ham and wood ear mushrooms that is unbelievable. I think that one is number 45 or 46 on the menu. The soft shell crab is also really good. There is a pickled squid appetizer that I challenge any picky eater not to like.... it is like candy. Anyway pretty much everything here is good. Ohh yea also try the Avocado milk shake and the Lemonade. read more

I might be atypical for a little white girl, but pho is my definition of comfort food. I've had pho all around the country, and never thought it would get better than some of the places I tried in NYC. But this little hole in the wall in Indianapolis totally beat my expectations. To be totally fair, this is vegetarian pho I'm talking about, which is pretty rare and definitely not as authentic, but it's also more difficult to make taste good... so when you find a good veggie pho you know you've got something special. I was surprised that it wasn't served with the usual plate of herbs and veggies but... whatever... it was perfect just the way it is so I wouldn't have used the additives anyway. Don't forget the sriracha! Which of course is strategically placed at every table. read more

A good little place for viet food in Indy. It's fast and tastes good. My fav and almost go to is their bun bo hue spicy soup noodle. I also love their #10 spring roll and #14 appetizer. Fried rice is also delicious as well. I would highly recommend if you like viet food. read more

I am definitely new to Vietnamese, so I don't have a lot of experience to pull from. This place was much smaller than I expected it to be, but the full wall of mirrors made it feel so much bigger! Whoever had that idea, kudos to you! All the menu items were very fairly priced, especially with the portion size that you get. I was a little disappointed there were not more vegetarian selections on the menu - and I'm afraid the vegetarian pho may be made with a chicken stock (I could be wrong - I did not have a chance to ask). The food came out in spurts - my meal came out first (which I actually had to send back due to the wrong item being cooked for me), followed a couple minutes later by my boyfriends meal, then followed by the pho I actually ordered. It was a little awkward. The veggies in the pho tasted distinct & fresh. There was a huge portion, with plenty of rice noodles piled underneath. My boyfriend's tempura veggies were delicious, he thought the shrimp a little dry. Overall, a good value for your dollar, and fresh tasting food. read more

Just a disclaimer: being Vietnamese, I am really picky about how certain dishes taste. Saying that, I did not have the worst experience here, but the service really affected how the food tasted to me. When we walked in, I went with a group of 5, and they sat us down just fine. The waiter looked really unhappy, took our drink orders, neglecting the friend in the bathroom, whose drink order he didn't bother to get even after she came back. The restaurant is rather small, so there's not much space for big parties over 6, forget about it. (I've been here before, where I've had really good vegetarian dishes, like a sautéed tofu dish and yummy vegetarian spring rolls.) Based on food, it's pretty decent. Not the best, definitely not anything compared to what Mom makes. I had the caramelized catfish, which is one of my most favorite Vietnamese dishes ever. They do catfish filets, which is normal with the bones and everything, but they were really small, so it was more bone than it was meat. Honestly, I'm giving them an "okay" review due to the service. The waiter never came back to check up on us or even to give refills, never checked up on us to see how the food was, if we needed anything else--he gave us the check and sent us on our way. So seriously, I know Vietnamese restaurants better than that. There aren't that many in Indianapolis, and if they want a good seal of approval, they gotta work on this service. read more

Good pho for good prices. The rice dishes are freaking delicious and portions are generous! I remember walking up for the first time and being a little intimidated by the windows - can't see through 'em really. Staff is nice and courteous! Never had a problem with service. read more

I liked it. The food was good, service was quick and easy. The menu is a little hard to read but the lunch specials others around us got looked very well portioned for what they paid. To get Vietnamese style coffee with condensed milk made my day as even though it was lunch time I was tired and needed the boost. Could have had a bit more meat in the pho and a little more kick to the broth. But the wife really liked the vegetarian pho and it was the first time she ever had pho (she doesn't like beef as a former vegetarian). Parking was easy although getting into the parking lot not so much as some woman in a minivan was reading her phone and blocking the road which made me have to go over the curb. Men's toilet room was clean. read more

A vietnamese restaurant that vietnamese people actually go to, like, and don't complain about. It is very reasonably priced and most of the food is very authentic. One of the best things here is the soft shell crab dishes. It's hard to replicate at home, you get a pretty big dish, and very reasonably priced for soft shell crab. There are a lot of choices so come hungry or with many others who will let you share with them. Their menu is extensive and many home cooked items that are truly authentic. Just about everything that I have tried, I like. If I would ever crave it, it is pretty much offered and they are very quick. Many people phone in orders to go. It's in a strip mall but just about all the Vietnamese restaurants in Indiana ARE. read more

I came here following recommendation from a local and I was not disappointed. The name and decoration suggested that this was a Hue restaurant so I ordered two specialty dishes of the Hue region: bun bo Hue (Hue beef noodles) to eat there and com hen (rice clams) to go. Ambiance: The restaurant was a decent side, clean and neat. They sat me on the quieter side of the restaurant, until more customers arrived. Since I came alone, I appreciated the peace and consideration. Service: was courteous and quick. Every server I talked to answered with a smile. I was able to finish my meal and pay within 45 minutes of arriving. Food: was great. The bun bo Hue didn't have all the typical ingredients I usually expect such as huyet (boiled blood - sounds gross but it's in a lot of Vietnamese soupy dishes) or cha Hue. However, there was moc (this pork paste) instead, that was quite delicious. It could be spicier, but they gave me the chili sate I asked for to spice it up. The seasoning was spot on. There was all this pork and beef that you would expect in a Vietnamese dish (fat and tendon and all, not the healthiest but most flavorful for sure). It made me trust that their broth was authentic. It was my first time trying com Hen, so I can't claim to be a good judge of it, but I've had plenty Vietnamese food and I loved it. I love the combination of ingredients (rice, clams, peanuts, variety of vegetables and bean sprouts) and the sauce added the perfect final touch. read more

Good Pho and Spring Rolls in Indy so I had a cold and I got to Indy my trailer was not ready to go so I went looking for food, and what is better than soup when you feel like crap The Pho was really good here had a nice base full of flavor too, I got the rare beef the meat was just right and the noodle were not all stuck together, lots of Bean Sprouts and Basil leaves to hook it up with it really hit the spot and the spring rolls are a combo of Shrimp and Pork I loved them they were so fresh, I only finished one as I wasn't feeling good but I'm sure I will be back another night when I have time again read more

I've started to come to the conclusion that the more nestled away into a strip mall a place is, the better the food is. This one is fairly nestled away and it has some pretty damn good food. In terms of Vietnamese, it's has the closest I've come to authentic. Plenty of vegetarian options and good prices. It even has some sweet, early 90's Italian restaurant decor. read more

I don't have many nice things to say about Chinese Food places in Indianapolis. King Wok is the exception. It's even a place you can comfortably dine in! We go here for lunch and dinner whenever we find ourselves in the area and are always satisfied. The service is friendly and the food comes out fast. There is a vegetarian noodle dish I love. Just the right portion and not greasy in the least. My kids clean their plates every time. The only negative thing I could possibly say is that the vegetarian pho appears to be beef stock based. Otherwise, solid and recommended. read more

Everything was so easy and fast here when we ordered food to go. Even when we got home after a car ride and banging all the containers together trying to get a 2 year old and groceries up the elevator, the food still looked great and was expertly packed. Let's just say that the only reason I have leftovers is because I purposely divided my soup into two portions so I can have one tomorrow. Everything else got inhaled including the 6 spring rolls. Mind you, we are only two people. Great food, great customer service...we will definitely be back. read more

We were in Indy for a conference and piled into a station wagon to drive the 6 miles to this great Vietnamese joint. Vietnamese dishes were legit. Bun Cha Gio and the Pho were great as was the tri-color and durian drinks. I recommend it. read more

I cannot praise the food here enough. Best Vietnamese food I have had, by far. We started with an appetizer, #14, thin sliced tender beef rolls. It was a little strange looking and did not sound good to me, but my friend said it was really good. He was right. The sauce was light and sweet and the beef was tender. Excellent flavor combination. I had the #84, Bun-Rice Vermicelli noodle salad, which was outstanding. Service was great, too. The strip mall setting is not fancy, but what I have come to expect from "hidden gems." read more

This is Indy's Vietnamese gem!! I eat here 3-4 times a month. If it's ethnic and on the westside, you know it's going to be authentic (generally speaking). DISCLAIMER: Don't go to a Vietnamese restaurant and order General Tso chicken or Orange chicken!!!! 1.) You'll look like an idiot 2.) That's like ordering a Happy meal at McDonalds when you're a grown adult Best pho in town! I know people who drive over an hour from Muncie just to come here to eat. Tip: Service is a little on the slow side. I find it best to go up to the cash register and pay instead of waiting on the check at the table. read more

Excellent food. Authentic Vietnamese that doesn't hurt your wallet. Me and my roommate had dinner for two, two pho's (not sure if that is correct) and two appetizers. $10 each. That's a steal. Fresh spring rolls, soft dumplings, and the pho will just make you happy. The only kicker was the service was a little slow. There were only two tables eating and a third coming in but it took 15 minutes to get our check. Still, loved each bite and sip. read more

I walked in tonight to pick up some take and was the only white person in here. In fact, I barely heard any English. There were tables and tables of families enjoying dinner. I take each of these as good signs that I am going to be in for a great meal! I ordered a few appetizers and one entree. The perfect amount to share with another. Appetizers- Teriyaki mushrooms that were just ok. We felt they lacked a lot of flavor which is odd considering they were swimming in sauce. Sort of disappointing. Crab Rangoon- pretty sweet and not much other flavor. Siam Square is still my favorite for this dish. Wonton Soup - delicious! The broth was light and oniony with a hint of black pepper. The wontons were light and tasty. I will order this again but wish the portion was bigger, even for $2.25 I wanted more broth. Entree #128 the shrimp with bacon. Not traditional I know but the bacon was calling to me and well it was one of their specialties. It was just ok. There was a flor in it that just didn't appeal to me. Again just not my flavor. I will be back - probably for lunch so I can try a $4.99 meal until I learn what I love here. Also want to try the Pho from here as I saw so many enjoying it this ev read more

We decided to head to the west side to choose one of the great ethnic hideaways to have lunch. I saw the reviews of King Wok and so we went by to check it out. When we pulled up, we realized that we had eaten there a year or so ago and it was very good. So we decided to have lunch there again. We were greeted when we walked in and seated immediately. Even though it was 2:00 there were many still coming in. Our service was still very good from a gal with personality plus. She waited on us last time too and was very helpful. I even had her give me a lesson with my forgotten art of chopsticks when she wasn't so busy. For appetizers we had the pork dumplings and tempura shrimp & veggies. I know these are usual and nothing adventuresome, but they were both very good along with the dipping sauces. In fact I make dumplings all the time and I thought the flavor of their filling was exceptional. I had the shrimp and pork belly in spicy szechuan sauce (Tôm Thit Kho Tàu) with white rice. The sauce had just enough spice and the plain rice brought a nice balance. I would have liked a few more shrimp but the ones I had were very tender. --maybe to add a veg would be good too Hubster had the crispy noodles with pork chicken shrimp & veggies in a flavorful sauce. It didn't have any spice to it so he added a little with the condiments on the table. We always share, so I got some veggies from his and he got some spicy meat from mine---which made for a completed great lunch!! The portions are right and the prices are very reasonable. Every table, I mean every table, around us was having Pho. I've got to get it next time. There's just so many good entrees! I remember saying that last time I walked out. read more

So it's Friday night, and me and the missus are thinking that some Vietnamese cuisine would hit the spot. She had been to King Wok a couple of times for lunch with a friend of the owner, and recommended we go there. In a small but nicely appointed dining area, in a mini-strip mall on Lafayette Rd., we were greeted and seated immediately. We decided we would order two appetizers (not our usual style, but what the heck), so we got Vietnamese Spring Rolls with pork and shrimp served with a peanut sauce, and also "Tofu Steak" with King Wok sauce. If you have never had Vietnamese Spring rolls you are in for a surprise. These are fairly large rolls (one per person is plenty) wrapped in a lettuce leaf and are served at room temperature. They are packed with tasty chopped pork, shrimp and veggies, and the dipping sauce is sublime. The Tofu was two good sized slabs of firm tofu which had been flash-fried in a sauce which became caramelized, then coated with sesame seeds, served in a dark thickened very tasty sauce - what a tasty treat! For the main courses, I got Pho with beef and beef meatballs, and she had a crispy noodle dish with shrimp, chicken and tomatoes. Both of these were subtly but nicely flavored, especially the Pho broth. Even without the appetizers, we would not have been able to finish these dishes. Given the excellent food, nice ambiance, prompt friendly service, and more than reasonable prices; what's not to like? No question - it is five star worthy. read more

Chicken Pho. I am telling you this stuff saved MY LIFE when I was pregnant and voming for months. I literally ate here 4 days per week! King Wok is amazing. Everything is good.

Vegetarian pho broth was so flavorful! My boyfriend got the beef broth and loved it as well.

So let me tell you about the *pho*nominal meal I had tonight at King Wok. If you like pho, or soup, or even just tasty and flavorful food for that matter, King Wok's delicious pho might just become a new favorite. I love pho, and I have to say King Wok's is some of the most flavorful soup tried I've ever tried. Everything, from the broth, to the tofu (I tried the vegetarian option), to the rice noodles, was delicious! The portion sizes are huge and the menu items are affordable. A big bowl of pho for under 10 bucks? I think I just found my new go-to for these chilly winter months! The service was great and I enjoyed the restaurant itself and it's friendly atmosphere. If you're hungry enough, try one of the tasty appetizers, I had the vegetarian spring rolls and I probably could have eaten a whole meal of them! Bonus: King Wok has takeout! Talk about convenient and quality food, I'm already thinking about when I'll go back! read more

Vegetarian spring rolls were good and ENORMOUS. For the uninitiated, vietnamese spring rolls are not like thai spring rolls, which are deep fried, they are more like summer rolls: a cold, fresh collection of vegetables and rice noodles wrapped in cold rice paper... kind of like a salad burrito with tofu. I had vegetarian pho for the first time and it was yummy, too big to finish. Nice broth, good subtle flavor. These folks are not afraid of tofu. They put some love into it and craft it rather than sticking unprepared cubes of it into various things, or safe-play deep frying it. It was nice. Few vegan options, but enough to do. I came with a male friend and was peeved that they put us on one check without asking and shoved it to him even though I was the one who requested the check. Maybe my next server will be a touch more liberated. read more
