Solid cozy spot for pho that won't kill your wallet! With pho these days at $12 and higher, it's always good to know which spots still have bowls at $10. For $10 you can get a tasty good sized bowl of pho here. They also have a ton of other options such as rice plates, and even hotpot! They offer a mini Tom Yum hotpot for one, only costing $15. This is a nice option if you're craving hotpot but don't want to spend too much or don't want to share.The few times I've been here, I've noticed it doesn't get too busy. This is good for us as we get faster service and don't have to wait much for food, but they definitely deserve more customers! Definitely recommend Pho K-Tea if you're in the FV/HB area.

The foods were very good. However, they took very long to cook although there were only two tables. We asked the reason and they said sorry and hoped us understand because this is family’s restaurant, but they served very friendly and nicely. I don’t like hotpot too much because there are not too much fresh things like fish or shrimp. Their space is nice and suitable for going with family. Generally I like this restaurant and definitely will be back.

The couple working here is super nice and understanding. Customer service is great and the food was the so flavorful. I ate a plate of garlic noodles and I had to order another one because of how delicious it was. I never order 2 plates but this was the best noodles I have ever had. You won’t regret dining here.

Great food. I order Pho Dac Biet and the broth taste delicious. The meat from the dish is good but could use some extra rice noodle. The service is great and came in quick. The ambience is also nice with comforting vibes especially when eating a hot bowl of pho. Place have many inexpensive dishes that I would love to try in the future!I give it a 4.5 for this restaurant . (Stars are always rounded up)

My food took forever to come out and there were only 2 other tables in use when I was there... The person In my party who got their food first finished before mine came out. Came for the chicken pho but they didn't have that so I had the chicken stir fry. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too peppery. Was not that clean.

The owner, Phuong, is a wage theft. They did not pay their employee. Avoid at all cost. I will report to Labor Department and IRS.Stay away if you can.

Bad food, expensive and unprofessional service attitude, very sketchy. I feel they are calling for pity from the people in the restaurant rather than dedicated service.

Owner is violating some serious law as employees never got paid. Justice will be made.

I went to this restaurant to eat yesterday, but honestly everything was like a nightmare. The food was really bad, especially the pho had such a strong smell of beef fat that I almost vomited, I couldn't swallow anything and I had to leave the bowl of pho as if I had never touched it. Then there is the attitude of the employee that can be said to be the owner of the restaurant because they don't have any employee to do, when I told them to exchange me another bowl of pho because I couldn't swallow my current taste. Then, they gave me an unsatisfactory expression and blamed me for not making it clear when I ordered, and then told me to scoop out the beef broth myself and continue eating. I don't know why some people find the service here good, but I personally find it extremely bad. They even charged us the wrong amount and asked us to pay extra. I advise people not to come here because it's so bad.

Considering it's a Pho place, I tried out their Pho and was a bit disappointed. The noodle is just so so but the soup was bland, had to add in extra fish sauce by myself to increase the flavor. The vegetables offering was disappointing. Though to be fair, they might give more if you ask for it. But it's sad that the initial offering was so little. They give jalapeno but not Vietnamese . The amount of meat in the bowl is especially sad for a Pho bowl, but the price was cheaper than most places by $1-2. I'd recommend them putting napkin autodispenser on the tables if they can't remember to serve it. Overall, I probably won't be back for Pho. But they do offer hotpot for $11.99 so I might give it one more try.

The food was much better than I expected.I ordered a crunchy noodle stir fry combination meats, and it was great.The only downside was the wait. It took like 20-25 minutes to come out.I ll be back for sure.

The pho was sooo good and we were so hungry that, the camera did not get to eat first so, please take my word for it. This place was well discovered gem. Oh the pho here is really good and prices is super reasonable, my wife has the special combo large pho for $10 and mine the beef rib pho for $15 with 2 big rib sections. I judge pho by its broth. And it was very flavorful but clear not at all cloudy or greasy. I don’t feel all grossed and bloated after eating like many other pho place. Better yet I did no lý get that unquenchable thirst, I normally get after eating pho at some other popular pho joint.The service was good and server was very very polite even though they were short only her during dinner rush. We did not have to wait long roughly 15 mins since time of ordering for our food despite they only have 1 cook in the back. As where I sat I get to see the kitchen. They were short staff that night.Better yet they open late, and the broth does not taste as diluted as some late night pho restaurants, there’s nothing more comforting than having good pho at late night and go home not feeling bloated. Sorry for the lack of pictures

Was browsing Yelp while waiting. I ended up browsing photos for this place and saw $9.99 for almost every item on the menu???!!!? Lol I am in.Nowadays, it is very rare to see garlic noodle w/beef for $9.99. They even do seafood hotpot for $11.99 with a choice of noodle. There were lots on the menu to choose from.I wasn't expecting much...I also didn't expect the very long wait for the food.It felt like this couple waited like 45 to an hr just for their egg rolls lol they were very kind tho. I think that was why no one else dared to complain lol. Everyone just sat there waiting patiently.Anyway, I was surprised that the garlic noodle w/beef turned out so good. The meat was juicy and tender. The garlic noodle could be softer. However, it was still good. It was a bit oily, but with the salad, it was fine.Spring rolls with grilled pork were expensive, imo. 2 for $9. It was good thoEverything was fresh. Thai tea was ok. The tea was a bit weak. Portion was good enough for 1 hungry person. I came to snack lol so 2 orders were enough for me and my mom hehheI am not sure if the price of $9.99 was because they recently opened. If they do raise the price, they will need to add more. Also, wait time for foods needed to improve. Was awfully long for just 2 items. We ordered the drink towards the end of the meal. It came quickly.
