Kim is a marvelous lady, with delicious food! She can be understaffed and have a wait sometimes, but she is running a one woman show and it’s worth the wait!

Service was fine. But food was not very good. Flavor was bland compared to other Vietnamese restaurants.

Had hair in my food and they said it’s lemon grass, should have taken a photo. Aside from that the girl that was the server was very nice.

This place is awesome. I’ve tried their P1(pho tai) it was good but this time I was looking for something spicy I opted for their B1(spicy beef noodle soup) it was so flavorful, it was spicy but the spice was not over powering. I personally prefer the vermicelli noodle rather than the pho. The M1(fried egg rolls) were mouthwatering especially when paired with their homemade fish sauce. YUM!!

Price of food doesn’t reflect quality. I’m willing to pay for food if it isn’t like this place. They are really cheap with giving out portions for the price you can get at another place with decent portions. Do yourself a favor and skip this place and go to hong yen instead.

Very small portions. Had the spring roll which was so tiny. They are usually pretty big. The soup bowls only come in one size which is a small bowl for 14. Server never came to check on us and we were the only ones there.
My family came here after a weekend in branson. We had a poor experience.
I ordered pho and a smoothie. I never got the smoothie and my pho had hard noodles. They were missing basil..that really shocked me. I've never had pho without basil. All Vietnamese restaurants offer basil with pho. They were out of a lot of stuff so I just assumed that was another one. They gave us bean sprout and a tiny tiny lime. My broth wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It was really fatty, heavy in oil. Normally it's lighter.
The owner got an attitude with us, and the waitresses. The waitresses were rushed by the amount of people, which is understandable.
Something that stood out the most to me. We called and made this arrangement with the business, yet when we got there they were out of almost everything on the menu. There is an Asian market right down the road..so it was extremely odd...

Terrible Experience at Pho Kim in Branson
My family and I were on vacation in Branson last weekend of Aug 1, 2025. After a long day exploring Springfield and stopping by Buc-ee’s, my group of 16 and I were really looking forward to a comforting bowl of pho. We hadn’t eaten all day and decided to try Pho Kim. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish.
when we arrived around 5–6 PM, it was understandable that the staff was overwhelmed. The owner came out and announced that they were only serving pho and bun bo hue—no appetizers or other menu items available, which we thought was fine since we came for pho anyway.
However, the pho did not come out all at once. Some of us had already finished eating by the time the others were being served. Service was chaotic—when I asked for chili oil and fish sauce, one waitress said, “one moment,” and never came back. I asked another waitress who then told me they didn’t have any. Minutes later, they brought out something that my family member has seen they had mixed in the back, which appeared to be a combination of chili paste and literal fish oil. Someone seriously would’ve had an allergic reaction to fish if he didn’t see it. We all knew it was not chili oil but decided to use it anyways.
When our pho finally arrived, the noodles were hard and clearly undercooked, like they hadn’t even been blanched. The broth tasted oddly like beef patty juice—not rich or flavorful like a proper pho broth should be. The condiments they gave me were a small plate of bean sprouts and two small nuggets of jalapeño slices that weren’t big enough to be one whole slice. I politely asked if the bowl could be fixed, and the waitress was kind and understanding.
But then, things took a turn.
A family of five walked in and was turned away by the owner, who said they were out of food and cannot serve them. She then returned to our table and publicly confronted me, saying: “Are you the one who complained about my noodles?” She proceeded to lecture me, claiming her broth cooks at 360 degrees and that no one else had complained, pointing at my friends. She said we ( my table) wouldn’t have to pay for the pho, but we’d still be charged for the smoothie—which we hadn’t even received yet.
The prices were absurd—nearly $16 for a small bowl with barely any toppings: a small handful of bean sprouts and two tiny jalapeño ends.
At that point, I was done. I walked out. One of the waitresses apologized and even admitted that the owner can be rude.
Save yourself the trouble—this place is chaotic, overpriced, and lacks both consistency and professionalism. Definitely not worth the hype or the headache. From one Asian person to another, this is not what you want to experience.

My favorite healthy place to eat in Springfield. The spicy beef soup is amazing.

Altogether a great place for a foodie like me. We really appreciated the fresh ingredients and manageable portions. This is the only place I’ll have pho on a hot day.
Would love more cultural music to bring out the cultural background in the restaurant.
