The pho here is amazing! Always order from here when I am feeling sick. Food is super comforting and the staff is great. They were able to work around dietary choices I had and have always had good experiences at this place. read more

Awesome place! Great prices and awesome pho! The homemade pork buns are also great! Definitely recommend!

I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while and FINALLY, we went. It's very clean and nice on the inside. The guy that took care of us was super nice and kept making sure everything was ok. We started with spring rolls. They are good but a little pricey for 2 small rolls. We also got the steamed pork buns(bao). I highly recommend these. I'll go back for those alone. We finally got to the pho. He brought over 2 large bowls and a plate of bean sprouts, lime, jalapeño and fresh basil. Of course he brought hoisin sauce and sriracha (my fave). I got the bowl with beef, meatball, tripe and tendon. I think the tripe and tendon needed to be more tender but that's just me. My husband had the seafood and he loved it. Definitely a good place and with a name like PhoKing, you've just gotta check it out. LoL. read more

Highly recommend Egg drop soup was the best I ever had ; a lot more stuff in it Mog guypan was out standing

We came here for lunch and dinner at separate times, both times the pho was consistent and delicious. I got the beef pho both times, my husband got the brisket/tripe pho. I will say as someone who enjoys PHO often and has tried it many different places, this is good. You get the simple expected sides (bean sprouts, jalapenos, sriracha) etc. my only complaint would be the broth isn't very "deep" or you don't get a beef flavor, it's flavorful, but not a beef flavor as you'd want from a good beef broth pho. Service is always quick, the fried dumplings are amazing, the steam buns were just eh...but definitely a good bowl of pho here!! read more

The Pho is fantastic! The shredded chicken is cooked perfectly and the deep flavors are memorable.

Was looking for some good pho in the area, and this place was recommended above others by some friends who are local. It was an okay experience- it really did not live up to the hype that it was given. When you walk in, there is a very cute interior, and the ordering area was nicely decorated. I had no idea they sold whole coconut with the water inside until we walked in- and I had to try one! It was delicious and I would definitely not pass up the opportunity to try this. For our meals, we ordered the chicken pho, pork chop pho, steamed pork buns, and the pork gyoza. The best part of the meal was the pork buns and the gyoza for sure! Both were bursting with flavor! For the pho, you did not get that much for what you paid for, and the to go containers were difficult to maneuver and oddly enough did not fit most of the food since the broth comes separately from the contents of the bowl. The broth was also on the bland side and was nothing special. Additionally, we ordered carryout, and it took 1 hour instead of the 25 minutes they told us, which was mildly annoying since we were not given any updates about our order while waiting there. In the future, I definitely will try dining in to see if the experience is any better! read more

I really enjoyed Pho King. It was very clean and staff was attentive. Summer rolls were delicious! Pork buns weee def a must! Flavorful and home made. Would def recommend. Ordered the pho with everything in it. Only down side was the pho broth could use more flavor and spices. Overall good experience. Would def come again to try the rice and pork chop dishes! read more

This place was great! So clean and cute atmosphere. The food was actually so great and my brother and I left feeling full. I didn't care much for my sea food pho, maybe because it was kind of minty and I personally didn't care much for the squid, which kind of tasted flavorless and squishy. I probably would've rather gotten the beef pho. Everything else was honestly great though Sadly they do not have a tofu or vegan friendly option for the pho at all. Even the seafood pho has beef stock I believe. My favorite dish was probably the pork buns. They were served very hot and exceeded my expectations. We will probably be back sometime! My brother ordered basically the beef pho. He enjoyed a seaweed salad (vegan), summer rolls (not vegan). The spring rolls have egg in them and same with the dumplings in case you're vegan. read more

Super bummed. Ordered pho with tofu. I asked if it came with veggies and they said no... and then I asked if they could add some. I literally got bland broth with romaine lettuce added to my pho. seriously? Never going back. read more

They don't include lime in their pho. I don't know how you can have pho without lime. Their seafood pho does not include beef broth, as they claim. Will not ever go back. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. It's small and quaint. You have to get there before the "rush" to get a table. We decided to try their steamed buns and we each ordered the seafood pho. Both were delicious! Everything came out steamy hot! The service was fast and friendly. The place was super clean and neat. We loved the decor and they incorporated a big TV nicely. Parking can be difficult. We will definitely come back, but probably as a take-out order than eat in. Worth trying! read more

Bottom Line, If I were in Kent I'd definitely stop for Pho again. The herbs, bean sprouts, and sides were all fresh and the Pho was very good. The summer rolls were just average, if they had spicy peanut sauce I'd order them again, but they do not. Next time I'll try the crispy spring rolls. They had a passion fruit soda that was phenomenal. I'm a sucker for passion fruit and this soda had real passion fruit in it. 5/5 on the soda. Grabbed a Vietnamese coffee for the road and it did not disappoint read more

I LOVE Pho and I was so excited for Pho king to come to Kent. Beyond the comedic name, the clean atmosphere, and the friendly staff. I was a little upset as a vegetarian that there were no tofu option. Every pho place I've ever been to has a tofu pho dish so it was a little sad to find out this info. I still eat fish (but would rather have tofu) so I had the seafood pho. This was the BIGGEST bowl I've ever had and was so impressed. It was great, however I am always used to tofu options so seafood didn't please me as much. Overall, good great atmosphere. The restaurant is new, and I'm hoping soon there will be a tofu option! read more

Good broth but didn't like the meat. It was chewy. Also the spring rolls were burnt and had that burnt flavor. Service was alright though read more

The homemade pork buns had a pillowy dough with a great, flavorful filling. The eye of round pho was one of the best dishes I've ever had.

Best pho I've had in a long time, broth and chicken were both seasoned super well, toppings served were fresh.

Excellent Pho! I had the chicken pho and my husband had the pork pho... Both were Very Good! I would Definitely recommend read more

It's was okay, I think I'm ruined from other pho restaurants. The pho was okay the sides ingredients sauces, spices etc where lacking. We ate inside service wasn't bad but not great either. Altogether it was a mediocre experience. I wouldn't go out of my way to travel to it, but would go back if I was in the area. read more

Our favorite place to eat!! It's a cute little place with a simple menu, but delicious food. Their hearty pho is soothing and filling. The summer rolls, pork buns, and custard buns also make great appetizers. Best Vietnamese food in the area! read more

I had high hopes for this place. We need a great noodle place in Kent. This isn't it. The big problem is their broth. Pho needs very flavorful broth and theirs is just kind of bland. Otherwise I liked this place. Other ingredients were good, the streamed buns were very good, and the staff was terrific. read more

Pho King - pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Kent, Ohio

Place looks almost abandoned from the outside. Ur the inside is absolutely beautiful. Very roomy and nice for dining in. Staff is very kind. The food was Phenomenal. I went here with my grandma, I had the Pho King with no tripe, my grandma got Char Grilled Chicken over rice. Both of them were amazing. There was the perfect amount of noodles in the Pho, and the broth tasted great. My grandma loved what she was eating too. We also god the Fried Dumplings and Fried Buns. The Fried buns came with a side of Condensed milk, and they were probably one of the best sweet bread dishes I have ever tasted. The buns were perfectly crisped, they were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Fried Dumplings were cooked to perfection. We also got the Vietnamese Coffee and the Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice. The Coffee was amazing, they let it brew in front of you. They serve it with and without ice, letting you choose whenever you want. The orange juice tasted just like Fresh Oranges. Overall the experience and the food was amazing. Didn't expect it from the outside. Will be coming back. read more

I was literally the first customer to walk into this restaurant. The food is great and not overly priced. Easy walk from Kent State and the gyoza is delicious. Highly recommend. read more

I've been looking forward to the opening of this restaurant! I went in and it was packed, I had to park in the parking lot of the neighboring business. It also took a very long time to get the food out, but I attribute that to how busy the restaurant was. Staff was very friendly and the pho was really good! I had the eye of round and my friends had the seafood pho and appetizers. I have to agree with the other review that the portion of bean sprouts was minimal (like half a cup.) read more

This place is amazing. I had one of the best meals of my life here (Grilled Chicken Pho). Also had the veggie spring rolls and pork steak buns which were fantastic! The place was really clean and our waitress was so nice and such a hard worker. I will definitely be back. If you are in the mood for some good comfort food, this is the place. Highest recommendation. read more

Stopped in after Singh Biryani was a bust, and this place smells even worse than over there - a strong chemical smell hits you like a wall upon walking in the door. What the?! How can...?! Why...?! read more

literally the best pho I have had! no place compares between Akron, Kent, Columbus, and Cleveland!! Will miss going every week!

Bland. Dumplings are good but that's about it. Got the Pho with eye of round and meatballs. Meatballs tasted like what I imagine dog food to taste like. Everything just kind of had a weird funk to it. Won't be back. Gross. read more

Great comfort hot food in a cold winter day, when the only options around are pizza, Mexican food and fast food. The homemade steam buns are a must. read more

Food is good but they only make shrimp summer rolls and like 5 kinds of pho bowls. only pho shop I've ever been to with such a small menu. Not to happy especially since I broke off the main trail to try it out. read more

The pork buns are the perfect starter for some pho. They are not full sized, but right for an appetizer. Taste and texture are authentic. So delicious, especially on a cold winter night! The pho was equally good and satisfying. Recommended! read more

The broth isn't good. It's a shame, I love pho, I live close and want to be a repeat customer, but it's so bland. I will drive to Munroe Falls for more flavorful pho. read more

They seem to skimping on beef and basil and broth is weaker in the pho lately, but the pork buns are really good.

Pretty small place. So small I could hear the whole conversation of the table next to me. It also wasn't busy at all, but I'm not sure why because the pho soup was amazing and huge! Our server was okay. Would come back but maybe order takeout instead read more

So happy to find this place for lunch. My pho beef broth was packaged separately from the noodles and had a nice packet of basil, lime, and bean sprouts. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

I had very high hopes for this. It's OK for Kent, I will still drive to Monroe Falls to get the good stuff. The other dishes in the menu are OK too, but not when there are better options in town. Stop by here when you are short of time and want a quick pho fix. They are pretty stingy with the jalapeños and thai basil though, you may want to bring your own. Do not get the chicken wings, go somewhere else for that. read more

Want too impressed with the flavor of the Pho. Also the pork rice dish was a big over cooked. But maybe they're working out the kincks. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully the work out all of their issues. read more

Was so excited to hear this place opening up! We started with the homemade pork buns- very good! I wish there were more vegetables though but the flavor was really good! I got the grilled chicken pho which was tasty. I loved how grilled the chicken actually was. I think the portions are excellent, I always get very full quickly on pho. Excited to keep trying more things on the menu! read more

I've been here twice, the first time I had the seafood pho and the second time I had the beef. Both were very delicious and I was not disappointed. The steamed pork dumplings are amazing and I could easily eat an order of six by myself looking foreword to trying the summer rolls soon. read more

Location: Main Street near KSU is super convenient with a big parking lot for the size of the restaurant. Staff: Friendly and polite. They smile and make eye contact, as well as being prompt and efficient. Space: Clean, well lit and (obviously) fresh and new. Food: The fried buns with the condensed milk were yummy. They had the correct balance of sweet and savory. My grilled chicken pho was excellent. The chicken was prepared perfectly; tender, tasty and with the proper amount of scorch. The flavor of the broth was awesome so perhaps others had a different version, but mine popped with great flavors. The noodles were solid but the bean sprouts and sauce were killer. Watch out for the heat! Go easy on the sauce but even if you overdo it, the sprouts will cool you off. I hadn't planned on eating everything, but it was too good not to do so! I'll be back Saturday...or sooner. Welcome to Kent! read more
