I've been to SK at least 6 times since moving to Sparks. It was one of the first asian restaurants I tried. Traditional Vietnamese or Chinese cuisine IMO, is difficult to find here compared to the Bay Area. But that's not the fault of Reno, it's just the number of asian restaurants are so much fewer here and all the produce is literally imported. My goto when checking out a chinese restaurant is their chow fun noodles. Why? The noodles are perishable and if frozen the texture becomes a bit mushy, not firm. Was the noodle fresh, yes but with the cavet that it was probably imported day or two earlier. There are no local noodle makers in Reno. The dish was prepared in traditionally with a slight twist. Garlic, lots of minced garlic. Not complaining, as this is unusual for chow fun noodles to get amost a fourth of a garlic bulb worth. I ordered the mixed protein version with chicken, pork, and beef. There was a slight sweetness to the dish, which I am atributing it to sugar. Which again is unusual but a welcome addition like the garlic. My last visit was when some relatives visted from the Bay Area and we had lunch. I didn't want to take a chance on the food that they may not be used to, so we choose SK Noodle. Eveyone had their vietnamese Pho and grilled dishes and so far SK did dissapoint any of the Northern CA food snobs! I will be back. read more

The food was good but way too expensive! The price on line is not accurate. I was charged 2x more. Service is ok but I ordered take-out so not much interaction. The ambiance is great. Newly renovated. read more

sooo yummy. Hubby gets the #4 extra meat, beef brisket and meatballs. I usually get whatever pho has the beef brisket, and order without noodles. Their chicken salad is the BEST. They stopped warning me that it's not a typical "american" chicken salad because now they know me haha. It sits on raw cabbage and the dressing is light and does come with crushed peanuts so be aware if you have that allergy. I can eat that danged salad every day. Sometimes I stop by and order just the bone broth for the pho to take home. It's very bone brothy and so healthy and tasty. read more

I enjoy the food here. Nice location and plenty of parking available. I have reviewed before but on my last visit I had one concern, not sure why it is important to me but it is. The food, the service, prices and ambiance I have no issue with, what does upset me each visit is the cutlery. Yes, the cutlery. It feels like the thinnest and cheapest money can buy. I have never ever thought about the cutlery at any other place but here it really bothers me. It detracts from the overall experience for me. read more

Sk noodles is located right next to raley's right off. McCarran just happened to buy. We stopped in after church and ordered a noodle bowl. It was amazing. I will be back for another one. It was lettuce on the bottom noodles and loaded with all kinds of goodies. They had a sauce you pour over it and it was just amazing. I loved it! I love this place. Come and try them. You will not be disappointed read more

Based solely on today's order of flame broiled, bone in pork and crispy sesame tofu with fried rice lunch special. It was a bit busy for lunch time but got seated right away. Our server was by herself but she did great. Very nice and attentive lady. Food was actually decent! We had came a few months ago and I wasn't happy but today was a different story. The tofu had a nice crisp and bite to it and the pork was VERY flavorful. I'd suggest trying the flame broiled pork with the bone in! Only issue that stuck out was the water tasted like it came from the gutter. Other than that, everything else was great! read more

New out here and was really craving some pho, I ordered the Dac biet ( hope i spelled that right) it was worth it 100%!! The taste, the portion of meat in it, and the SIZE of the bowl!! The place was really nice too and service was great. I'd recommend this place for sure. read more

It was a rainy day and I've been craving pho so I wanted to go somewhere close. We ordered from SK Noodle on Grubhub and the pho was good so we wanted to try it in person. When we entered, they were not very busy and said we could sit anywhere. We ordered the combination pho. All the meat was good. The broth was good, but it is missing something to make it more flavorful. Still one of the better pho broths in town. You can add extra noodle for $2 and they give you a lot of extra noodle for $2. Service was very quick. It was a good music selection and a lot bigger inside than I expected. Definitely will come back to try more food on the menu. read more

This is my first lunch at SK Noodle on a recommendation from my daughter. A truly Five Star War Wonton Pho Soup with noodles. Soup was Hot and Delicious and filled with Chicken, Pork, Shrimp, Vegetables and fried Wontons. Wow! The broth was outstanding. I also ordered 2 Shrimp Spring Rolls, cut into 4 pieces with Peanut dipping sauce. Loved it so much. Fantastic service and the restaurant was nice with many table choices. Ambiance was nice and I will definitely come back again. Loved the food! See you soon. Julie A read more

For 6 years I have been coming to SK noodle. I bring my friends, family, order pick up, and delivery from this restaurant because the quality can't be beat. They offer vegetable broth, chicken broth, and a spicy broth for the pho. There are a number of vegetarian options. Everything on their menu is so good! read more

The service was friendly and the environment was clean. The food was delicious. Definitely going to go back.

The best pho in Reno/Sparks. The both never fails to be delicious every time. I go when it sounds yummy and when I need something to help me feel better when I'm feeling sick. Great prices and fast service :) read more

This is a difficult place to rate. I ordered online but was already real close so showed up 15 minutes before the order was supposed to be ready (5 minutes after the order was placed) and the food was ready. It was just spring rolls (which I know are already made and that is fine) and a sandwich. The sandwich was already soggy, the bread is not a French roll as advertised. What saves this place is the price. $8.50 for spring rolls is cheap and definitely makes up for the fact the shrimp is all piled on each other so you get all 2 pieces in one bite. $9 for a sandwich is pretty good too. If the place was expensive, I would be more upset but I got what I paid for and would do it again. read more

I think today I ordered and ate at SK for the last time. In 2021, the cost for grilled over vermicelli noodle was $13, add egg rolls and add another $2. Today the cost is $18.60 for the same exact dish, and $2.75 to add eggrolls. There is no improvement on quality or ingredients, it's actually worse. The lettuce is brown and pink and there is more noodle than meat. I understand prices are going up for everything but paying $22 for an almost all noodle and almost turned lettuce dish does not seem right. read more

I love vietnamese food and this is the one place that my entire family loves!! I usually get the rare steak pho or the flame grilled pork Vermicelli bowl. Both check all the boxes! The spring rolls are good, the hot and sour soup is fantastic, the wonton soup made my husband a liver of vietnamese food. Even their more chinesw style dishes are good. Plus the service is great! I have a 5 yo that loves pho and they get him his own little bowl so we can share. I absolutely love it here!! read more

This is one of my GO TO Vietnamese restaurants in Reno/Sparks. SK Noodle is very clean inside and fast service. Portions are large and flavorful. I love their grilled Pork over vermicelli noodles. The honey walnut shrimp was excellent. Since we didn't order any PHO, we asked for their cup of broth on the side for only $1.50 each. It hit the spot for a cold Reno day. read more

Honest takeout review: Great 4 star option if you like sodium in your broth. 3.5/5 salty** Loved the walk in, walk out after ordering the food. It was clean, it looked organized and it was a great take out experience! Service was OP and I can't complain about the facility to order and take my food. -Combination beef pho: 3.5/5 I love me some good pho! If you like a saltier broth, then this is the spot for you! Ingredients tasted fresh, and some helped bring down that saltiness flavor that you get from the broth. The meatball was salty through the whole experience. I didn't get much of that extra flavor experience that I like with my broth. It was missing that depth you look for in pho. 1 point from the salt levels being a little higher than I wouldn't liked, and .5 from the depth of the broth not being there. I would have loved to give this review a 4, but there was a lot of salt in this batch of pho broth that made it hard for me to justify the flavor as it over took the depth you look for in a rich broth. read more

It's been several months since I've been here. I ordered Chicken Chow Fun and it was very disappointing. The portion size very small, noodles didn't taste fresh and there was a tangy taste to it almost like it was old. Other places I've been too are much better but this place is close to me. I will have to go further for better food. read more

First time trying out this place. My friend and I decided to try out this place for pho (because nothing beats a nice hot bowl of pho on cold winter days) out of convenience. It was closest to where we were so we said why not. It was a cute and cozy little place and l loved the environment. But unfortunately, that's about the only thing we liked. It was cold out, so we were REALLY looking forward to hot bowl of soup, but instead, we got very lukewarm broth. Flavor was okay, but the noodles were undercooked. We also ordered egg rolls, but that too, was disappointing. It wasn't very flavorful, it was also lukewarm, and it didn't have the crisp I love. Prices seems to be higher than the average, but the foods we got wasn't worth the price. They also have Chinese food that might be good, but based on my experience today, it is unfortunate that we most likely will not be coming back here. read more

Stopped by for my favorites: tendon and tripe pho and general's chicken. My kids always eat pho ga. If you follow my reviews, I check in here quite frequently whether I'm picking up takeout for dinner or dining in for lunch. Service hasn't been an issue ever, but their food is consistently good. I love the bigger tables and having extra space in their dining room. It's a pet peeve of my mine to feel like I'm sitting on top of the table next to me. Luckily it was a quiet afternoon. We enjoyed our lunch and packed up our leftovers and headed home. Cyndi was our gracious server. We missed our favorite girl. I hope she's still here and just on vacation. read more

This place has remained relatively affordable and the pho and dinner sets are tasty and worth it for a quick lunch or dinner. My favorite is the wonton soup but the chicken pho is also great. The broth is also tasty read more

Was looking for a quick bite before heading home. Stumbled here after shopping at Raley's. My husband's beef chow fun came out way earlier than my pork over rice dish. I don't like it when our dishes come out at different times. While I was waiting for my dish to come out I was able to try my husband's beef chow fun. It's a little more on the sweeter side but I think it's pretty good. Finally when my dish came out I was shocked about the meat portion. It was a pretty generous amount. The rice was a bit hard. It could be softer. The sauce was a bit more saltier than sweet. Overall it was a decent meal. Would I come back? Maybe, if I was in the area again. read more

SK Noodle - Chow fun and Pork over rice - Chinese Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Let's start with the good-- our waitress was so nice, very friendly and funny. And it's the first time we've seen a kids' menu at a pho place! My daughter ordered a kids' rare beef pho and it was a great size for her! The Generals Chicken had good flavor but only came with 3 pieces of cold broccoli on the side. My pork and shrimp salad was good (healthy, just what I was in the mood for-- heavy on the sauce but good flavor overall). The kids' pho, while a great size, was very lacking in flavor and the noodles were a bit overcooked. Overall it was decent but doesn't top the list as a favorite place that we'll be coming back to over and over again. read more

Horribly overpriced food! No one was in the restaurant yet the wait was over 25+ minutes! Pho broth was not even hot. My vermicelli did not even come with an eggroll and was an extra cost. Our server didn't even serve us our food. Instead, the cook had to come out and serve us. Will not be back! read more

SK Noodle - Grilled pork with vermicelli noodles - Chinese Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Grabbed some noodles today for a quick work lunch. I got the vermicelli with pork and egg roll. The egg roll was very good. I enjoyed the filling and it was crispy. The vermicelli was cooked well. I enjoyed the sauce to put over the top. The carrots were too vinegary and the pork was very fatty. I kept spitting out pieces - but the flavor was very good. Perfect amount of salt. It looked like a regular restaurant inside. The person who took my order was kind and the food came out exactly how we asked - which is great for a large group. Overall nothing crazy impressive but nothing bad either. read more

Terrible service, owners are needing customer service skills. I can't believe they are still open with food and service like that.

Oh and the owners are polite always. read more

Very disappointed with my order for pickup. Got the boun thit noung pork and egg rolls. Meat was chewy didnt like the texture. They gave me so much lettuce and the saddest portion of carrots to go with it. Like where's the rest of the vegetables? The vermicelli was only a handful. Soft and soggy. Egg rolls were soft and soggy no crunch or crisp. For the price I was paying it was not worth it and the flavor was very underwhelming! Also got the wonton soup. Or should I say lettuce soup. Again where are all the vegetables? Soup was bland like they just added black pepper to hot water. Wonton was not filling more dough than anything. Service was good she repeated my order over the phone. As far as the ambiance its bright and open cozy. Sad because I do like the pho here when its hot and the bun bo hue. But for the prices they charge I expect more more. read more

Wouldn't eat there again.. broth for soup had a horrible smell and taste I tried to eat half the noodles but couldn't get through it. To be fair the noodles smelled weird too so unsure which is the culprit but nonetheless will not go back. I paid $25 for inedible food. Had to throw it all away. Hopefully I won't feel it later. read more

This is my go to spot, I always get the wor wonton soup with noodle it's the best! Never super busy and the service is great

...and yet another stop in my continuing hunt for my new favorite Pho joint in the area! This review is for their Pho ONLY! In case this is the first review of mine that you've read or if you haven't read my latest Pho reviews, let me explain. A few years back, I visited EVERY Pho joint in the area looking to find my favorite and what lived up to my expectations, as well as satisfying my taste profile, having eaten this food all across North America. It's one of my favorite foods... I finally found my favorite back then, but the owner sold it last year and the new owners have changed the recipe...I don't like it as much, so the hunt resumes. Located in a strip mall in Sparks, this place is bigger than it looks on the outside. Lots of tables with both bench and chair seating. The 2 times I've sat down to eat there recently, I saw a LOT of people coming in to pick up take out orders...looks like they do brisk business in that department. BUT...before I tell you about the food, I have to get one thing off my chest about the ambience...because there is no ambience. That's why they get only 3 stars. I've said it before in other reviews...every restaurant needs a "musical identity"...i.e. background music. It can be ANYTHING, as long as there's something playing in the background at a reasonable volume...not too loud, not too soft. Let me elaborate...I'm a professional musician and radio guy...my life revolves around music...but, even for people that aren't like me, music in a restaurant sets a mood and fills a room with warmth. They have small speakers up on the walls with nothing audible coming out of them. The place is devoid of ANY warmth at all. A little bit of low volume music would give this place some charm. It just feels uncomfortable...people don't even want to talk because the room is SO quiet. All you hear is clatter coming from the kitchen. OK...enough about that...let's get to the food. My "go-to" is Combination Pho. I love the melding of all the textures and flavors of the different proteins. Both times I visited, I ordered the #1 Dac Biet ($14.50) [Combination (rare steak, flank, tripe, tendon, beef ball) rice noodle soup] They give you options to upsize it: (Extra Noodle+$2, Extra Meat+$3, XL+$4) I ordered the standard size. Nice sized bowl of tasty broth (on the lighter side), nice amount of correctly cooked noodles and veggies, reasonable amount of the standard meats...but they suffer from the same problem that almost every other place I've been to around here usually does...not enough meatballs, tripe or tendon. Proportions are out of balance with the other meats, noodles and broth. 2 pieces of meatball...about the equivalent of just over a half a meatball...seasoned well with good flavor. Basic amount of tripe and tendon...cooked well with nice textures...enough so you can say that it's in there, but not up to the standards of the many places I've eaten at over the years...again, the proportions are out of balance. I'm going to upsize with the extra meat option next time to see if those minimal amounts become reasonable in the larger portion (yes, I will go back, especially since it's not far from where I live). Decent amount of the standard accoutrements that usually come with Pho (basil, bean sprouts, lime wedge, jalapenos). Usually you get fresh cilantro with the other accoutrements, but not here. There's a small amount just barely visible added to the bowl. I'll also ask for more cilantro and jalapenos on my next visit. I always add Hoisin, Chile Sauce, Sri Racha and Chile Oil...AFTER I taste the broth as they serve it. Their Chile Oil is mostly just oil, with hardly any marinated Chile flake in it. The ladies that serve the food and run the counter are nice enough, but once the food hits the table, they're nowhere to be found and you get no more attention. Another minor point...the 2nd time I went in, they rang my card up for someone else's order when I went to the counter to cash out! Almost $60...when I had obviously been there eating for a while and only ordered the Pho. A little more attention to detail and being more observant, as well as aware of their customers would help. Like I said, I'll go back in...let's see how they do in subsequent visits...it might affect their rating...in either direction! read more

Yummy food! Best Summer Rolls ever! And Very attentive and friendly customer service. Highly recommend.

I was craving for Vietnamese Coffee and so I tried this place as it was close to my place. The coffee was not as I expected. Typical Vietnamese coffee has a strong coffee flavor but this one has a little coffee taste. Good thing I opted for half of the usual amount of condensed milk or it would have been all sugary taste. The cost including tax was at &7.04, it was pricey for the quality of the drink. read more
