Found this sweet little hidden spot and It was delicious!! There's not many tasty Pho places on this side of town but this place was a pleasant surprise. Shaken Salty Salmon (Ca Luc Lac) was amazing!! We also ordered a Specialty Pho (Dac Biet) and the broth was clear and very flavorful. The help was super friendly and the spot was nice and clean. My new favorite place!!

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.

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 tho Everything 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 hehhe I 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.

After working out at crunch next door, this restaurant has become my new pho spot! It's open until 10 pm so it's great for a late night eat. This restaurant has many aspects I enjoy from the free dessert (chè) to the great family-owned restaurant service! When I went there was a grandma making egg rolls in the corner so you definitely know it's authentic lol. It's also very clean inside with plenty of seating. They don't unreasonably charge for add-one like other pho restaurants which is a big plus. I would say this is a great, affordable pho spot if you don't want to drive further out to little saigon. Would definitely recommend checking out this restaurant while the promo is going on!

New owner per sign outside... promo is $10 most dishes, great value Food quality, 7.5/10 - We got Grilled Pork w/ Egg Roll & Vermicelli Noodles... comes with Fish Sauce not pictured that you pour on. A bit more crunchy veggies than ... I might eat? Taste was fine. Meat was solid. Not the greatest but it does the job and at this price, zero issues given the price. Egg roll could've been crispier but it tasted fine. It did take some time for the food to come out but friends chatted. The waiter was very helpful, he apologized and let us know it'd be coming out soon after some time. It came out in a square nicely presented dish. We didn't ask but he brought out taller/bigger round bowls (pictured) so that we could mix it easier thinking it was helpful. Would be hard to mix it thoroughly with the initial square dishes. New owner came by and talked to us, older guy and we chatted a little, not much English. Overall, very good value. Used to workout at this Crunch, would recommend at the promo pricing.

My son and I have an obsession with pho! We read the great yelp reviews and gave it a try. As we walked in I was greeted by the sweetest man named Bao. He took our order, made our yummy drinks to perfection, gave great suggestions and brought our food out quickly after ordering. Bao really took our experience to the next level! The restaurant itself was extremely clean and trendy! The steak pho was so flavorful, huge portions, lots of noodles and a great portion of steak... not a few pieces here and there like I'm used to. The egg rolls were crispy and I believe ground beef with veggies. Absolutely delicious! The surprising stars of the show were the drinks! Handmade lemonade and strawberry smoothie! Bao asked how sweet I wanted the lemonade before making, and made it to perfection! The strawberry smoothie was sooooo good, we ordered an extra Togo! Absolutely will come back for more!

Rainy days makes me crave for pho! Food came out fast and pipping hot. Beef Pho: Beef slices were tender and not over cooked. Noodles were fresh. Broth was delicious and hearty. They did not skimp out on the green onions! 4/5 Crispy Fried Rice: Chef really out done himself with this dish. This fried rice has such an amazing texture (fried rice with CRISPY rice bits) and flavor that I ate 2 bowls of this. 5/5 Vietnamese coffee was delicious and strong. Definitely prevented food coma! 4/5 Waiters were attentive and checked in on us often. Solid Vietnamese cuisine!

Came here last week to enjoy their authentic Vietnamese cuisine and it did not disappoint. I had the meatball pho dish and their shaken beef. Their menu was easy to understand and our server recommeneded those two. The pho had a good quantity of noodles and meatballs. The broth was more on the sweet/savory side but it fit my mood that day. The fresh noodles were quite the treat. The shaken beef had a good amount of beef with excellent flavor. Will be back!

Yes I'm Vietnamese and I do like some Vietnamese food, but not all of it. I'm pretty basic when I order Vietnamese food usually. It was a nice and rainy night so I was so excited to try Pho K-Tea out and get some Pho with friends. We shared a bunch of different things and everything I had I loved and would order it again in a heartbeat! Their signature crispy rice was insane! I could eat that all night as I love fried rice and this was just the next level up from that! The tom yum soup was delicious! Their oxtail pho and shrimp pho were very tasty! The interior was nice and spacious and had a nice casual vibe. The service was steady and everything came out at the perfect pace. I hate it when restaurants bring everything out all at once! Great place to come with a bunch of friends or family and sharing made it even more fun to try out new things!

I ate at pho k-tea a few years ago after a workout at crunch fitness and when I heard they had a new owner I wanted to come try it again. I eat a lot of pho, especially on rainy days and after working out at the gym. The oxtail pho is phenomenal! The bbq pork, broken rice plate was my second favorite. Ok, I actually have another second place item. The vermicelli bowl with egg roll and fish sauce poured over the top is tied for second place. Really good fried rice with portions you can share with friends. I like to take a spoonful of fried rice and dip it into my pho broth. It adds a nice touch to the fried rice and tastes salty and sweet in your mouth. I tried a lot of their smoothie drinks, Thai tea, taro, lychee, and pineapple. They are sugary but hit the spot after a leg workout or on a hot day. I was pleasantly surprised by the Tom yum hot pot, the broth was so delicious I wish I had more right now. My mouth is watering just writing this review. But you can go see for yourself. If you liked this review please like it and follow me. :)
