PHO KING Japanese & Vietnamese Restaurant

Best pho in town by far!!! Fair prices, good flavor.
It's that little gem hidden like a hole in the wall. My favorite!

Got Beef pho the broth has no depth to it like authentic Vietnamese pho broth. Everyone is extremely nice and attentive.

This used to be a favorite spot until the hostess/cashier stole $100 from my mother after she paid cash for her lunch. She handed what she believed was a single $100 bill folded up only to realize that it was $200. Noticed the cashier acted oddly, and realized the mistake after she had already left. Imagine thinking someone is going to pay you $200 for a $15 meal! This place employs thieves, so pay close attention. Will NOT be dining here ever again.

We love this place. The fried rice, the pho, the bahn mi! Really everything we have tried here has hit the spot!

We had the beef pho, crab Rangoon, gyoza, and veggie tempura. I’ve had so much better. The flavor was lacking.

I love Pho King. I mean, who doesn’t love Pho King. Pho King is great. Especially when it gets spicy and makes you sweat. Pho King is delicious. It’s Pho King amazing.

Portions large, food excellent, wait staff were very kind and accommodating

Top teir food.

This is my favorite pho spot in Clarksville, not just for the pho but for their gyoza, wings, and fried rice.

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian friendly pho, fried rice, rolls, etc.

I'm mainly reviewing becuase of the atmosphere. It's honestly awful. I know they just did a small renovation in there or painting as well. Overall, it's very overwhelming to be in there. They blast the music and the music is way too much. When you go to a pho restaurant you typically think the experience would be somewhat relaxing but it's the opposite for this establishment. Also the way they have their tables set up actually make zero sense. I shouldn't have to get out of my seat so someone can walk by.

The food is decent (5/10). I only come here because it's the only pho place in Clarksville that's decent. Otherwise, I'd go to Nashville.

Went to Pho King for lunch. Order takeout at the restaurant as their online ordering was unavailable from the website. Ordered the beef tataki and lemon pepper wings. The wings were overcooked and dry. They were just a plain fried chicken wing with a light sprinkling of lemon pepper seasoning.
The beef tataki was not at all what I expected it to be. It too was over cooked. Not lightly seared beef that is thinly sliced. The beef had no seasoning whatsoever and was tough and chewy. I also don't receive any ponzu or any other kind of dipping sauce that typically comes with this dish (see photo). I was excited to get my food because during the wait, most people ordered the pho and it looked appetizing. Needless to say once I got back to work I was quite disappointed in what I received

To begin, the menus weren’t proof read before production; there were typos such as “vermicelly” instead of “vermicelli”, and it displayed serving cococola products when the waitress said they didn’t. Also, we weren’t offered sharing plates. And, for some reason, they were playing low-fi jazz rather loudly, which didn’t fit the vibe of the restaurant.

The drinks were drinks. However, the honey dew boba I ordered was overly sweet—sickeningly so—that came in a plastic margarita (fish bowl) cup, and the boba was overcooked.

The cuisine wasn’t terrible. The entres were better than the appetizers. For appetizers, we ordered pork dumplings (pan fried) and calamari. The pork dumplings were frozen and then fried; they were seared properly on the bottom, but on the top of the dumpling, it looked deep fried. Odd, but they were okay. The sauce was liquid so eating the dumplings with the sauce was messy—to say the least. The other appetizer we had was the calamari. It was overcooked. That was all.

The entres were much better than the overall experience. We ordered kimchi dumpling pho, chicken teriyaki banh my, mango habanero chicken wings, tofu lemongrass vermicelli, and grilled pork vermicelli. The kimchi dumpling pho had no dumplings. The teriyaki banh my wasn’t very flavorful; there was a lot of meat, and the topping veggies (comprise of just carrots) weren’t pickled. The mango habanero was sweet and not very spicy. The tofu and grilled pork vermicelli were seasoned very well; the noodles were ice cold in comparison to the lukewarm to warm additions, and the basil that companied it was Italian basil, not Thai. It was an odd experience.
