This is my 2nd and last time dining here. The food is decent which is why I came back. The service is why I will not return. Today, on my lunch break, I was the only customer in the place. I ordered a lunch special which comes with an egg roll. The waitress brought my lunch without the egg roll and never returned. I notified a young guy who came from the back and he never returned. I finally found the waitress and she said that she charged me for a dinner which does not come with an egg roll. After more waiting, the young guy returned with the egg roll. No apologies from either employee. I’m on my lunch break and I have limited time. All this to say, it’s not about the freakin’ egg roll, it’s that this place doesn’t care about customers. You lost one today!

We stopped by just to check out the space and menu here at Pho N Wok and ended up staying for dinner. It was quiet on this Thursday at 5:45 and then things exploded, filling up the small dining area rapidly and leaving to go orders standing or waiting in their vehicles. I can see why. The menu here is terrific. We love Vietnamese cuisine and tried the Vietnamese House Fried Egg Rolls and the Shrimp Spring Rolls. The fried rolls were stuffed with pork, rice paper wrapped and fried perfectly, served with a sweet nuoc cham. The Spring rolls were fresh rolled with 4 shrimp halves, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts and cilantro and served with a peanut sauce. They were large and tightly packed. They could have used some pickled veggies like carrots and or daikon; but otherwise they were well prepared and pretty yummy. It took us awhile to peruse the menu. There's more appetizers, and soup, pho, noodle salads and pork, beef, shrimp, chicken and vegetarian entrees that encompass Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. I ordered a Chargrilled Pork Meatball Vermicelli Noodle Salad. They came back to say they were out of the Pork Meatballs; but they graciously charred some chicken for me instead. My husband ordered the Beef Curry. We both ordered a heat level of 3. Our entrees were both quite good and fairly spicy. My husband chose the fried rice instead of the steamed. He found it to be flavorful as it had some mini- vegetables and it paired well with his tender beef and mushrooms and crisp pea pods, carrots, and onions in the coconut milk curry sauce. My dish, the vermicelli noodle salad, needed salt for me. I found the nuoc cham dressing sweet and the pickled daikon and carrots sweet as well. My waitress was able to ask the kitchen for actual fish sauce. The menu identifies the served sauce as fish sauce; but it's a dressing or dipping sauce - their version of nuoc cham. It's a preference and my preference is sweet and salty, even a little sour, too. But the salad itself was excellent. Perfect vermicelli with veggies and delicious chicken. Our service was impeccable, in spite of how busy they were. Our food was scrumptious. We will be back to try the Pho and other delicious sounding entrees. They have various Pad Thai, Lo Mein, Vietnamese Chow Mein and Singapore Noodles. There's a lot here to choose from. It will be fun. Next time I'll get photos!

The food here is amazing!! I've had the Kung Pao Beef (Spicy) about 3 times now and it does not disappoint. I also recommend the Fried Dumplings with the sauce. Service has always been great. Even when they are busy. The place is small so seating is limited but I'll tell you, it's worth the wait. Best Chinese in Ellis County!!

Pretty solid food, decent vegan options. Vegan pho and pad thai are tasty- only complaint is every time I order from them it takes a long time to get my food. Even when I order ahead I often am waiting 15+ minutes when I arrive. That being said, I still come back because the ingredients are quality and in the area there aren't too many options for good Asian food.

The rice is really good. The shrimp spring roll was surprising, had no idea it was raw. I'll have to go back to check the menu but I don't recall a description. The Generals Chicken was very dry. I mean zero sauce. It did look like it had been sauced. Maybe it dried out during my hour wait. This was my second attempt to dine here. First was online order quoted 15 minutes, 5 minutes later I get a notification it will be 45 minutes. They kindly issued a refund. Today I decided to call so I'd know upfront. I don't mind waiting a few extra minutes but I do expect my order to be complete, and with requested sauces too. I also hope for good food. I might give it one more try someday...good rice matters!

Get the vegetable and seafood soup! So, I always get pho. For the first time, I tried the vegetable seafood soup and it is now my new favorite. To me it is richer than the pho - maybe because of the egg whites. It is also chicken stock versus beef stock. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I've got a beef with this Pho N Wok place...A yum yum, really good Special Combination beef and chicken Pho that is. :)Didn't know of Pho N Wok previously.Found this place from page 4 of the February 2024 edition of Midlothian Now magazine.Shame on me for missing it previously as it's conveniently located just off 4470 E. U.S. 287 and Presidential Pkwy in the Presidential Plaza.Everybody may be out there enjoying the Super Bowl '24 parties though they sure missed this Super Pho Bowl event. :)Great Pho is N Wok'ng distance of plentiful parking out front.Visited right before the Saturday evening dinner rush and was immediately greeted by the friendly, courteous and professional staff that gave us amazing service.Casual atmosphere offered to enjoy a nice meal.Started off with the Appetizer Sampler that included:2 generously filled Fried Egg Rolls4 delicious Cream Cheese Wontons4 hot, fresh and crispy Fried Chicken Wings2 lightly battered, nicely sized Fried Shrimp on a stickAlso included were three dipping sauces with fish sauce, sweet and mildly spicy chili sauce.For entrees, we had:1. Special Combination Pho with rare steak, brisket, meatball and chicken and rice noodles. Broth was clear, fresh and taste great.Pho N Wok even had the Huy Fong Foods Sriracha sauce at the table.This might not be a big deal to some, although anyone whose been to a Vietnamese restaurant selling Pho will know how much of a great condiment this is in Vietnamese and beyond cuisine.Didn't even have to spend $150+ for this that some were selling online when there was a market gap of this product.Hot chili oil and the defacto standard of bean sprouts, jalapenos, lime and basil condiments kicked the dish up another notch.2. Fried, boldly flavored Lemon Chicken with a side of steamed fluffy white rice.3. Combination (Chicken, Pork, Shrimp) Vietnamese Chow Mein that had stir fried carrots, Napa, bean sprouts, broccoli, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, pea pods over crispy egg noodles.I'd recommend checking Pho N Wok out as I'm sure you'd be pleased.A big cảm ơn, xie xie, m goi, terima hasih and thank you to everyone at Pho N Wok for making this a great experience overall.We'll be sure to return.5 stars from the great, Lone Star state of TX.
We are here for our second try. Our first visit was not so good. BUT this is a new business and we are not trying to bash anyone, just stating the true facts and not opinions. There are only 6 tables so we made sure we came right after we got off work to be sure we got a table! There was only one other couple there so hopefully we will have a better experience tonite. The cashier/order taker dude came out to bring us menus. He came back shortly and we ordered our drinks, the appetizer sampler and I ordered the Vermicelli noodle pork and babe trying the Singapore pork noodles again. Hopefully his noodles get to the right table tonite. We are just waiting for our food order that we placed 5 minutes ago.Ok that came out quick. Be right back! Sure to ask for silverware (we never got that last time.Wow . My food just also came. Hmm. Such an improvement from the last visit. Ok. Just waiting on babe's food. Tick tock. Oh boy. Hopefully it will Be out soon. Last visit he never got it!!! I just heard a bell ring!! Fingers crossed!!!Yay! It arrived! Will finish this review after we eat!!

So happy to have a good Asian option here in Midlo. Very solid Viet, Thai, and Chinese. Rare to find a place that can do all 3 well. I won't say each is 100% authentic however they are close and so far every dish I've tried has been very good. Solid 4 star spot for Asian, way better than other options nearby.
