Soft shell crab tempura with udon
Hieu V.

Did not enjoy the food. Soup and broth lacked quality. Tasted like powder flavored broth with low quality ingredients. Didn't like the service either. We came in a small party and they automatically added 18% service charge which could easily be missed. I almost added tip on top of that and luckily caught on before totaling and submitting the check. Definitely a tourist trap for those with Asian fusion cravings.

Beef pho and chicken pho both delicious!
Stephanie S.

Not sure why the reviews aren't higher here. We had delicious Pho!! I had chicken thigh Pho, i think it was called Dragon. And my husband had the beef pho, both were very different and equally amazing. The broth was fantastic on both!! I think the prices are good here for being right in the tourist zone of Duval st. The unfiltered cold sake was also delicious, and the bartender was amazing helping us pick a sake. My only issue with this visit was I went to the bathroom and the hallway back to the bathroom had a door wide open to the pantry or kitchen, and I saw a massive huge hunk of raw meat sitting out on the counter. Not sure if it was purposefully aging, or very unsanitary, but at least shut the kitchen door so guests can't see that and wonder if we're eating bad meat. However, we didn't get sick so I guess it was ok! I'll be back, the Pho was amazing.

Red curry coconut shrimp bowl.

The food here is authentic , fresh & delicious!! My personal Favorites are the red curry coconut shrimp bowl & pork sticky buns, Thai salad, dumplings! However, everything here is awesome!! ;) Actually it's all my favorites! Casual relaxed atmosphere! Humble chefs.. that take pride in the authenticity of their cuisine!! Also many Sake & other drinks are available here! Hot tea or water as well. I highly recommend- yum!

Cold peanut noodles with tofu
Margaret T.

I agree with fellow Yelpers about the rating. We arrived here ravenously after waiting over an hour for food at another restaurant. I ordered a dish that came out like cold ramen in a peanut sauce, quite salty and just OK. My son, however got vegetarian pho with tofu in a shiitake mushroom broth that was quite delicious. Whenever I've ordered vegetarian pho at other places, the broth is either meat-based or just a bland vegetable broth. This was probably the best veggie pho I've tasted. My husband said his traditional meat pho was about 3 stars.

Vegetable wanzu to kick things off

I can't believe I had a craving for Pho while in Key West but I did...and Pho King Awesome nailed it! The service was fantastic all around. When asked for the #5 with tofu, they asked if I was vegetarian and would prefer mushroom broth (yes!). It was perfect. This place is a Key West treasure

Dumplings
Sloan M.

What a perfect name for this restaurant because the pho was awesome and so was the serve. This place is small but the food packed a flavour. My friends and I really enjoyed it alot as you xan see from my pictures. It was one of my favorite places and I would like to go again the next time I am in Key West. Tip order the pork belly buns. So soft and flavorful

Loved this place so much!!! Let's just say it was pho-king awesome. We stopped here for a lunch and it was wonderful. Food was excellent. Definitely get the pork buns!! Mocha, our server, treated us so well. Cute little place!!

Moka was so nice! Great food here! Right on Duval street - perfect atmosphere!

Great place on Duval! Moka was so nice! Sapporo and dumplings every day we were here!

We had a wonderful dinner at the bar at Pho King Awesome. We were able to see our food being made by the chef and that is always such a treat. We had appetizers at another restaurant, so we split two things here. We had the steamed dumplings and the pork belly steamed buns. The dumplings were really good but the steamed buns stole the show! They were wonderful and so fresh. The buns are actually really hard to describe...they are like nothing else! We had a great time being able to be indoor/outdoor and looking out at the craziness of Duval Street.

#8 Curried Lamb
Sky T.

Okay, the name got me! I had to check this place out and give it a chance. It's Key West pricing so definitely not alluring, but they have pretty decent food and the service was fine. What caught my eye on the menu was the #8 Curried Lamb. What I liked was the presentation and the focus on the lamb. The gaminess from the lamb stood out and was not too off-putting. Lots of lamb pieces that they definitely didn't skimp on. The broth was light and I felt that it could have had a stronger curry presence. Overall though, I enjoyed it and would get it again if I were back. A few technical tweaks to the dish would definitely make it stand out though! I got Hot Sake as well. It came out piping hot which I enjoyed since it was a chilly night so that was nice. Really awesome name and I hope they continue to improve their dishes!

Great name and some really good Asian food in Key West. Super friendly service and lots of items to choose from. Full bar. Must try when in Key West.

I ran in late after taking an early evening nap that lasted a bit too long. I had the Spicy Peanut Noodles with Shrimp. The dish is served cold which isn't a problem for me. But beware. Really nice spice level and great flavors. Prepared quickly. I devoured it and I was on my way. Nice bar service.

Kimchi jijigae but no kimchi

0 stars jf possible. Ordered kimchi jijigae and it did not have a single kimchi in it. Asked for spicy garlic oil and waitress came with it in a spoon and dropped it on the table. How unhygienic AND RUDE. Also ordered the dragon bowl and it was also 0/5 stars. Food AND service are both terrible.

We spent a week in Key West and tried many restaurants, and this was one of my favorites. It's…read morelocated just off Duval Street and could easily be overlooked. Food: There were six of us, and we ordered a mix of different items. Everything was very good, super fresh, and each dish looked like it was prepared with care. Of everything we tried, the Pork Belly and Grouper Cheeks buns were outstanding. Each featured slightly different pickled vegetables and sauces, which made them especially memorable. The Tempura Shrimp was delicate, with just the right amount of light, crisp coating. The accompanying squid salad was crunchy and fresh. The three ramen dishes were good overall, although one person felt the broth wasn't as rich or complex as expected. Service: When we arrived, we weren't entirely sure about the process. The lone server, who I believe was also the owner, explained that we could take the large table and then brought menus and water. He had a serious, efficient demeanor and stayed focused on his work, with minimal small talk. As the restaurant filled up, it was impressive to watch him manage all the tables on his own. Most of the cooking took place in the back kitchen, but some finishing touches were done behind the counter, adding to the experience. Atmosphere: The space is small and well organized, with front windows that bring in plenty of natural light. It has a unique character without feeling overdesigned, creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. There are tables for groups of various sizes, as well as counter seating for individuals. Definitely a place we would return to and recommend to friends.

I went to this restaurant back at their old location, and over ten years later I'm still thinking…read moreabout it.

Have you ever walked into a restaurant planning to order takeout, then decided to eat in just a…read moreminute after placing your order? That's exactly what happened to me today. Instead of being accommodating, the owner clearly showed frustration on his face. That reaction alone was surprising. Later, when we decided to order more food, he came to our table with a tablet and told us that next time he would not allow us to add more orders. Seriously? I was there with kids, and they were hungry. Because of that, I chose not to walk out and go to another restaurant, even though I wanted to. The food itself was burned, and combined with the poor attitude, it made the experience even worse. I didn't travel all the way to Key West to be treated like this. I would strongly recommend choosing another restaurant.

We did in fact come back and the food was still good. Panfried potstickers, wonton soup, pork bao,…read moreand the fried rice. Enjoyed everything, potstickers are very crispy and thick, wonton soup still very tasty. Pork bao were nice, slightly sweet pork with cucumber and cilantro. The fried rice also very good with a very nice flavor, again we over ordered but we still pretty much took it all down. Service is great, staff super nice. And if I ever come back to Key West I know where I'll make a few stops. It's very nice to have the variety in this area. Definitely recommend.

The food and drinks are consistently amazing. I've been coming here since they first opened (I believe back in 2014), and I'll keep coming back. Their menu is packed with bold, flavorful dishes, an impressive cocktail selection, and honestly, they were one of the places that got me through COVID! From the pizzas to the entrées, everything is outstanding. I celebrated my birthday here just last week, and as always, it was excellent. The churrasco is consistently tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The mushroom risotto is rich, creamy, and bursting with earthy mushroom goodness. For dessert, we shared the warm banana bread with salted caramel ice cream, and wow... I still can't stop thinking about it. Whether it's happy hour, lunch, dinner, or a special occasion, Finka never ever ever disappoints. After all these years, it's still one of my favorite spots in Miami, and I recommend it to everyone looking for a memorable lunch, dinner or happy hour, do it right and come to Finka.
