    Spring rolls with shrimp & pork $5

    A little pricey for what you get. Got the rice dish (No 30) and it came out to $12 bc I asked for some broccoli. The amount of broccoli they gave was real chintzy.

    I've lived in Jacksonville on and off since 2004. I've tried mostly all of the pho spots in town but never checked out PK Noodles. I don't really know why, I guess when you find your favorite you stick with it. PK offers banh mi as well as pho and boba... so why not get all three? Ordered the special pho with all of the meats. The broth was very light... but had me going back again and again until it was gone. It didn't taste as artificially enhanced like some other pho spots in town. There are also other spots that include way more meat, but the tendon was my favorite, absolutely melt in your mouth. The banh mi was good. Was it the best I've ever had? No. Was it sufficient and still tasty? Yes. I enjoy the charm of a quaint small restaurant with retro furniture and a lot of communal seating. No frills. Just food. Overall my biggest take away and honest opinion is, if you're looking for a delicious lunch that won't break the bank. This is your spot. Pho, banh mi and boba totaled $20. The portions here are smaller, but for the money, you can't beat it.

    Another stop along our journey towards finding our favorite pho spot in Jax. Its a nice spot in town. Has most of the regular vietnamese menu items like the cuon, cha gio, and soups (pho, hu tieu, and bbh), etc. We went for the banh mi, BBh, and Pho bo. Compared to the other places we had tried in town, I'd say it ranks in the middle. Average. Portions were average to on the smaller end, but it meets the price match. The banh mi was good, i enjoyed the bagette more than the grilled pork. The BBH was ok, different that what I am used to. The pho was also decent. Overall, I'd say an average rating for taste for our palates, but we are just two of many hundreds of other pho lovers and customers. Would suggest trying all places in town and just going with your personal favorite! Staff and service was nice, no issues there. Thanks for having us.

    The food is great and reasonably priced. Not only is the food amazing, but also the service. The servers and kitchen are always very fast. In and out within 30 minutes. Go to Pho place!

    I've been coming to this place for ages. BY FAR, this is the best place you can find in town for value. I love ordering their pho. With shrinkflation, you get much less meat, but you still get so many noodles, and their soup has always been on point. I don't like it when soups make me super thirsty after I have my meal, and this place doesn't do that. They actually spend time stewing the bone broth, which is very appreciated! They haven't increased their prices in a while, even though I think they should, and no one would blame them. Truly worth the price. Where else in town can you find 2 meals worth of pho for under $10?! Service here is always fast. I've never had a bad time here. They've always been respectful and attentive. I think my only gripe about this place is that there's no A/C here. So in the summer, if you're crazy like me and order a hot soup, prepare to sweat puddles everywhere. They have a couple of fans on the ceiling which moves the air around, but it does get hot in the summer. So try to do takeout in the summer, haha. My friends also really likes the bahn mi here. I'll admit, it's a lighter flavor than other places. The meat is nicely charred and the bread is soft, not really crunchy, so that's a preference. The carrot/radish mix is less pickled than some other places, but they are very generous with their portions. A sandwich is less than $5!! I'm as huge of a fan of this place as the fans on their ceilings. Definitely cheap and a worthwhile spot!

    Food here is always fresh and hot! The service is always timely. The atmosphere... well let's just say, go there for the food and service only! Definitely one of our favorite spots to dine in Jax especially on rainy days like today.

    A hidden gem in Jax!!! This place is not only delicious, but it's also super affordable. The staff is kind and very quick with orders. My favorites on the menu: - Pork Banh Mi - Pork Spring Rolls - Chicken Egg Rolls - Pho with Meatballs and Flank Steak - Thai Tea with Boba (BEST THAI TEA EVER) - Coffee with Condensed Milk

Obviously on Saturday around this time most people are at brunch, so I took great advantage of the fact that I would be able to have the restaurant to myself. The service was very friendly and nice. I ordered the Pho Bo with cooked beef. It came out less than 10 minutes later. This literally hit the spot for my full day of hanging out at the museum earlier and shopping ahead. The pho was very flavorful and they give you a hearty portion - definitely enough for leftovers. Even though it was so hot that I burnt my tongue, I could not stop slurping the delicious broth. The only thing I did not like about this dish was the fact that there was not enough meat. I do see that on the menu. There's a surcharge for extra meat in the soup, but I do feel like they were a little stingy on the tasty beef in my dish. The sprouts, basil, and jalapeños were fresh and they gave a good portion to add in. Overall, based on the delicious pho and great price I will be back for another visit.

The guy kept saying he was new and was really nice, but didn't know the menu very well. The food was disappointing as well... I got the pho with tendon and brisket and I opted to pay an extra $1 for the fresh noodles, but totally not worth it. The brisket was chewy and some of the tendon was inedible (had to pay $2 extra ) . The broth had a chemical taste to it like they didn't rinse their pots thoroughly enough. The one good thing I can say about the place is that they offer a plethora of Asian noodle dishes from Vietnamese to Filipino to Thai to Chinese. If I ever do go back, I'll definitely try something different.

The soft-spoken owner welcomes you like a member of the family and is more than happy to answer any questions and offer suggestions based on your preferences.

We had a gang meet up that included Goldie, Jimmy, Lea, Loan and myself. We get together each month to try a new restaurant, and of course, to enjoy each other's company. It's been a while since I had a Vietnamese meal and when I go, I'm always stuck on ordering something of the Vermicelli variety. Yep! That's what I did on this day. First off, I have to say that quality of the fresh veggies - lettuce, carrots, cucumber, etc., along with peanuts, were the best in freshness status I've ever seen in just about any restaurant. Between the appearance and the taste, they stand alone in this category. I wasn't worried about having the rolls with this meal, so I chose the B1a - grilled shrimp and pork. As a full bowl, the appearance and quality of the toppings over the noodles was stellar. The pork was chewy, but not in the range of the impossible to deal with. Just something that people who have difficulty chewing might wish to be aware of. There were three large pieces of shrimp that were tasty but a tad overcooked - not enough in any way to drop my score. With the fish sauce mixed, along with the bowl, it turned out to be a fantastic meal! Loan recommended we visit Q-Cup Boba Tea and it was totally worth visit! I will say that Loan's, Goldie's, jimmy's and Lea's offerings looked pretty amazing as well. The sub sandwich and beef cuts on Jimmy's meal looked superb! May have to try that one someday. I'll let them tell you about their meal in their reviews. This is a fantastic ma and pa shop. It's basic in appearance, not the most highly rated in decor. But I'm sure anyone who visits will be happy when they leave. Our server was great - took awesome care of us. I encourage readers to put this restaurant on their bookmarks list! Recommend: HIGH

Everything we had was super tasty! Upon walking in, we were greeted immediately and seated. Our waitress and waiter (we had two) were super sweet, attentive, and cheerful. I missed eating home cooked Vietnamese food so we decided to come and enjoy a meal here. Everything was clean (floors, tables, and bathroom). We had the following: Grilled pork summer rolls: 8.5/10 - fresh, bright, and full of veggies, vermicelli, pork, and a crunchy roll inside. It was so delicious! I love summer rolls and this hit the spot! The peanut dipping sauce went so well with the rolls. I loved how the rolls had so many great textures. Pho dac biet (combination): 7.5/10 - the broth was alot more flavorful and it came with a generous amount of meat (beef balls, sliced beef, tripe) and lots of fresh veggies (lime, cilantro, jalapeno, mint, bean sprouts). Last time when we went, the broth was lacking flavor but now, it's pretty good. Beef combo plate w/rice: 8 - the beef was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! The lemongrass flavor wasn't strong or overpowering and they give you a good amount of beef. It came with white rice and pickled veggies (daikon, cucumber, and carrots) and fish sauce. Again, super flavorful and I actually cleaned the plate! The only small critique was that I thought the meat was going to be like short ribs and the waitress confirmed it was, but it wasn't. Avocado smoothie: 8/10 - I love avocado smoothies and its hard to find a place that makes it right. Here, it was absolutely perfect! The avocado's flavor really shined. Most places would make it way too sweet and you can't taste the avocado. However, I was able to taste the fresh avocado and the sweetness was on point.

The floors and bathroom could definitely use more attention.
