How many people have tried to write a review with this restaurant's built-in pun of a name? Probably too many! No Pho King Way I would do that. I had been to other Pho King locations and was pleasantly surprised to see this Pho King location near me. This place really shines because they have the "I want a huge Pho King Bowl of Pho and I want it now" option. So of course I got the Pho King Bowl. And yes it was tasty, and service was prompt, though I did note at this location the Pho King bowl was not as big as the Pho King Bowl I got at another location. Though this location and the other were up to the Pho King clean standard. Five Pho King stars! read more

5 stars. This one's my #1 in South County, no debate. The broth is insanely flavorful super rich, clean, and hits every time. You can tell it's made right. Portions are generous, ingredients are fresh, and everything comes out piping hot. Even when it's busy, service stays on point! fast, friendly, and efficient. I've tried a lot of pho spots around here, and this is the one I keep coming back to. read more

Pho King Way in Mission Viejo is delicious for both dine in and delivery! We ordered: --Goi Cuon (Shrimp & pork spring roll) 10/10 - just wish they included the Nuoc Cham sauce instead of the peanut sauce --Regular size Pho Meat Choice: Tai (Eye Round) 10/10 delicious! --Garlic Noodles 5/10 (very bland & basic - wouldn't order again) --We got a variety of 3 Banh Mis: -Bo Nuong (Beef) 9/10 -Ga (Chicken) 8/10 -Thit Nuong (Pork) 9/10 *our favorites were the pork and beef but we wished they had more sauce on them. The bread was super fresh and delicious though! Overall, we'll totally order the spring rolls, Pork & Beef Bahn Mis and Pho again! All of the food was high quality and very tasty! read more

Fast and friendly service. The pho, garlic noodles, grilled pork, and fried egg rolls are good. I don't care much for the lemon grass chicken. The price is average. read more

Hubby and I stopped by for lunch after church. We started by sharing the PK Lettuce Wraps. The Romaine lettuce leaves were crisp, but it's not the ideal leaf for wraps. I tried to fold it like a taco, but the filling kept falling out. Hubby chose the Xao Dac Biet (House Special) stir fry chicken, beef, and shrimp over crispy rice noodles. What a beautiful and tasty dish! My Pho Oxtail had 2 big meaty pieces and good flavor. The large bowl meant I will enjoy the leftovers over a couple of days. Not busy for lunch and easy to find parking in the shopping center. read more

This is a local gem my family visits whenever we're craving pho. The food is pretty solid and they give fairly large portions with a lot of meat which I appreciate. I've tried their pho, bun, rice plates, and appetizers and have no complaints! My go-to is their pho tai, very soothing on a cold day! The service, however, is not the best. The staff speaks very abruptly and doesn't seem happy to be there. read more

The pho at this location is slightly more authentic tasting, the workers were kind and the place was clean. I also tried the curry which was good, but they didn't have any rice since it was the beginning of the day. Overall 4/5 read more

Pho King Way is my favorite Pho franchise right now. I didn't dine in at this location, but I picked up some egg rolls and spring rolls for a potluck and they were as good as the other location on Aliso Creek Rd. Service was quick, friendly, and great! Dining room looked clean and organized. I would imagine their pho and banh mi are great too! read more

Popped in for a quick late lunch. I heard the pho broth is the best but I had bun and chicken wings. It was okay... the bun was fresh but the wings looked and tasted reheated. The place is large and can accommodate large parties with plenty of seating. I may go back and try pho... but for now... enjoy! Ooops, I forgot to take photos! read more

We've been regulars of this location for years and often recommended it to others. Unfortunately, it's unlikely we will come back here again. We normally ordered the large (the bowls come in M, L and XL) and it was extraordinarily small compared to what it was like in the past. The noodles in there were literally the size of one closed fist and there was maybe six thin slices of brisket if you do all brisket. If you get meatballs plus one other item, there's literally one beef meatball sliced into three pieces to look more abundant. Previously, you used to get so much food that you had to eat fast because the noodles would absorb all the broth. There was no room for the extra bean sprouts in the bowl. Now there's plenty of liquid (and space). I feel like anyone that says there's enough for leftovers must be ordering appetizers in addition to an entree. There's an Aliso Viejo location as well but I wouldn't bother going to that one. They had smaller portions to start and the service there is poor too. read more

Came in early afternoon about 4 so not much of a crowd. Got our food super fast and pho was good. When I came in the past around 7pm this location used to be super crowded. When you want a bowl of soup to comfort you. This is a great place to go to get authentic pho noodle soup. read more

I was craving pho but wanted to avoid sitting in traffic, so I decided to try a local spot. Filet Mignon Pho: 3/5 The filet mignon was not as tender as expected for this cut of meat. The broth lacked depth of flavor and the noodles were fairly standard in texture. Service: 3/5 My family and I were seated promptly, but after taking our order the server did not check on us again. We eventually had to flag someone down to address an issue with the water pitcher, which raised concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness. Ambiance: 2/5 The dining area had no music and no air conditioning. The atmosphere felt flat and uninviting, which took away from the overall experience. Overall I would not return based on this visit. The restaurant fell short in three key areas: a flavorful broth, a welcoming environment, and attentive service. read more

Amazing food good service right up until we made it to pay for the food there were five people and we split the bill three ways we were trying to be as reasonable as possible but he was getting kinda upset I offered to pay for the whole thing when he was getting stressed and he insisted that we continued to split it then he proceeded to take a step back and crouched down with his hands on his knees and said this is not easy while he was hitting the table and he always had a confused look on his face but overall it was good food just whatever you do DONT SPLIT THE BILL10/10 do recommend don't split the egg roles read more

You gotta love the name! We've been coming here for years. Pho King Way staff always greet you. Plenty of tables but the wipe down could be better since some people spill the broth. I don't think I've ever seen it completely void of customers. They cater to the carnivore and the vegan. Our favorites are the vegetarian spring rolls, oxtail pho, and veggie pho. The pho can be made into two meals; get more food with your money. Love their upgraded to-go containers from styrofoam to more elegant, sturdy plastic bowls with clear cover lids. Order ahead and expect 10-15 minutes for pick-up. Did you know if you purchase one of their hilarious t-shirts and wear it upon your visit, they'll give you a discount? read more

They have Vegetarian and vegan options which is greattt. It's pretty good but not amazing. I like the name pho king way read more

It's been raining and it's extremely cold for me. So, today it's all about the Pho King Way! On today's menu it's the oxtail and pork egg rolls. I want to try their fried wonton and wings, but I doubt I'll have enough room in my stomach for that The oxtail broth was great, the oxtail itself could use more flavor, it was kinda bland, maybe if I asked for salt and/or accent it would've been better. The pork egg rolls are always terrific , I love them, I actually took it home because I was too full to take another bite. Mahalo Pho King Way for another great meal, please think about the Oxtail, it could use something, it was very bland. Have a great day and stay safe! A Hui Ho Malama Pono read more

My son and I came here after we did archery at Orange county archery nearby. You just got love the word play that this restaurant has. The decor itself really does feel just like a standard Vietnamese restaurant. Nothing too bougie, and everything was standard. We both got the prince bowl which was more than enough noodles for us. For being far from Westminster or garden Grove this was a solid option. It might be a little more pricey, but considering the area I think the pricing is okay. read more

Not a fan of the name. Craving pho, as I always do, so found this last on Yelp. Lots of free parking. Outside seating available. The pho was on, I like my noodles to be chewier, these were just soft. The steak rice was pretty good. The rice is butter rice so very creamy. The stir fried noodles were ok, nothing special. Glad I tried. read more

The food at Pho King Way was solid. We enjoyed our pho. Unfortunately, the service was pho king terrible. The staff seemed uninterested. We asked for ice water and never got it, and overall, the service felt untrained and inattentive. It's a shame, because the food deserves better support from the front of house. As much as I enjoyed the meal the service was so bad I won't be coming back. read more

Favorite Pho spot in OC. Delicious & fresh, best comfort/cozy food you can get. They also have a great delivery set up, which can be iffy with other pho spots. Doesn't get any better than pho delivery on a rainy day. read more

The name is an all time classic. Once you get past the initial laughter - the noodle soup is amazing. I always get the vegetarian pho - but with the beef broth. I know. Sounds odd. But it's not unusual for me to order a bannister of broth to go. Can't say enough good pho king things about this place. A gem read more

Last week, we were Pho King Way out in Mission Viejo for my daughter's softball tournament... and after three games, we were hungry for something good to keep us sated all the way back to our home-20 in the SGV. Lucky for us, we found this Pho King Way restaurant really close to the softball fields on Alicia Pkwy. If you're on a quest for some good Pho King Vietnamese cuisine in Mission Viejo, look no further than Pho King Way! This place is a culinary gem that will have you exclaiming, "No Pho King way, this ain't half bad!" From the moment you step through the door, you'll be greeted with the tantalizing aroma of their signature pho broth simmering away, and you'll think, "That smells Pho King incredible!" The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with colorful decor that screams fun and flavor, even if there's a bit of a wait on a busy Pho King weekend, miles from home. Now, let's talk about the menu. Pho King Way offers a pretty Pho King varied array of dishes that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Good anise flavor to the broth, not cloudy, and they don't skimp on the Pho King basil/sprouts/peppers plate. Whether you're in the mood for their classic pho or feeling adventurous and want to try one of those menu favorites with chicken or seafood or something,you'll be saying, "This is Pho King Way delicious!" But the Pho King fun doesn't stop there! The staff at Pho King Way are friendly, and attentive, even if they are a little busy and probably overworked. the Pho King Way may not be the Easy Way, but at least the health grade on the door is a Pho King A. You'll find yourself chuckling along and thinking, "These folks know how to brighten up a Pho King meal!" And let's not forget about the portions. When your steaming bowl of pho is placed in front of you, piled high with fresh herbs and tender meat, you'll think, "That's a lot of Pho King food!" But fear not, because every bite is so Pho King delicious, you won't be able to resist cleaning your bowl, drinking the broth, and falling asleep from MSG coma somewhere around Las Pulgas or Harbor Blvd (depending on which Pho King Way you drive on the 5 to stay alive.) Look, I'm spoiled when it comes to Pho, living in the SGV, within ten minutes of Valley Blvd. But if you're looking for a Pho King respectable bowl of "Tai Nan Gam Sach Bo Vien" passing through Lion Country (IYKYK) you might want tohead on over to Pho King Way. You won't be Pho King disappointed. read more

This place has been here forever and a day... must be pretty good to have survived this long. Tried a beef Bahn Mi and it was pretty good. Not as good as you get up in Westminster or Garden Grove but still good and worth trying. Also tried the chicken fried rice and that was really good! We will be back to try more things for sure. Located in Gateway center where stars on Alicia.. parking is super easy. read more

Never disappointed! Lots of seating and fast service and a decent selection on the menu.

Had a very bad experience with their service! The male server Was rude, difficult to understand since he speaks very little English, Mess up our bill refused to listento our orders and wanted to do it at his own time (we were 8 in our pty with 3 separate bills) the worst part is we had our baby sitting with us and placed the hot soup near him almost hitting him in the head. This person needs to be taught a lesson and doesn't deserve to be serving the public. Management should take note of this.. read more

10/10 for food, service, atmosphere and of course it's Pho-King Delicious! We hope you love it as much as we do. Perfect, for cold winter and hot summer days, it's that good!! read more

After our disappointing pho experience the night before at a place in Laguna Niguel, we needed pho redemption! There are so many good places around its hurts when you get a bad one but I digress. I had not tried PKW before, Its quite far from my house but we decided to brave torential rains from the crazy storm that had been soaking California. It was cold and wet! Nothing goes better with cold and wet than hot soup. With a name like Pho King, there is a lot prove! Walking in, we immediately recognized the owner of a Pho spot that we loved in San Juan Capistrano. He remembered us and came by to chat and take our order. For apps we got the spring rolls and chicken wings, both were really good. My wife and girls got the Pho Tai, while we went all the way with the Pho King Way XL bowl. The food came fast and boy was it good. Clean smelling broth with a nice color and flavor. The beef was flavorful and they were not stingy with the noods! Everyone was happy with their food and when the kids don't complain, you know its good! They lure you in with the hilariously immature name but captivate with a good product and friendly service! Definitely going back! read more
