Nice and clean place to have a bowl of Pho. The broth is delicious and the portion size is great. I ordered the Prince Bowl which is a large with everything in it. They only have 1 person waiting tables and he did a great job and was very personable. My sister even bought a T-Shirt from this place. Everything is so Pho King good! Plenty of parking and very easy to get to.

Food is wonderful here. The problem is they're never open. I would call first to make sure they really are open because their hours never match reality.

One word: Amazing! Food review: I had ordered the Pho combination prince bowl (Large) and I was extremely satisfied! I usually critique pho by portion size, broth flavor, and ingredient quality and Pho King Way has hit the nail on the head on all criteria. The meat was nice and tender, not over cooked and tough. Noodles were nice, soft with a little bounce,but not overcooked. Flavor of the broth was nice and beefy, with wonderful aromatic scents and flavor. Portion size for meat to noodle ratio was superb. Most pho restaurants go overboard with their sweetness, not this place! Staff review: There was an older man taking care of the front side of the restaurant and he was truly attentive and very kind. He made sure anything I needed was taken care of and I was helped right away! Seemed like there was an older lady in kitchen side handling the food, and all the other customer's food looked fantastic as well! If I had to eat here everyday for lunch to keep this place in business I would, and I will not take slander for the gentlemen lightly! Restaurant is nice and maintained, music isn't overly loud and tables are spaced out nicely. If you're on the fence whether or not to eat here, just come and you won't regret it.

This restaurant is tucked away in a business park section of Lake Forest. The decor is fairly common for a Vietnamese restaurant, sparse with Asian influence. The waiter was nice and accommodating. The sampler appetizer platter was good, with a bunch of different egg rolls, shrimp and wontons. Our dishes were good, but we didn't enjoy them as much as the appetizers. The filet rice dish was ok in flavor but the filet was tougher (perhaps overcooked or it was another cut of meat). The noodle bowl with different meats (can't recall the name but it's the prominently pictured option in the bowls section) was also just ok. It's a large serving of food, but the meats were fatty in some areas and all kind of tasted the same. Nothing was bad, but don't expect Westminster level flavor, I suppose.

Big open restaurant with lots of seating. Plenty of parking too. Pho is pretty good and the portions are pretty good size. There is regular, large, and extra large. The extra large is ridiiculous. The chicken spring rolls were pretty good. The vermicelli portion is huge. The veggies were fresh but the fish sauce was a little weak.

Just a quicky. Consumer Alert - I'm not an expert on Pho I have met friends here on and off over the years. We did stop during Covid and now we went back for the first time in a long time. Spring rolls - cold, fresh, tasty shrimp. Sauce is great with it. Pho - I got the small bowl with fatty brisket. You can get up to two meats with the basic Pho bowl, but I just wanted the fatty brisket. The bowls came out to our tables in minutes. The small bowl is very good size and the Pho is served with a side of Thai basil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, sriracha and another sauce I am not sure of. Dumped it all into the bowl and waited a bit for the broth to cool down. It was delicious. I scooped it all up to the last drop. The broth was tasty and the brisket was excellent. I will be back. Only funny things about the place was one of the servers was very concerned we were not ordering while waiting for our last buddy to show up. The place was not full, but he came many times to take our order. I ordered the spring rolls and a drink to calm him down. Ended up ordering as the last buddy was stuck in SoCal traffic. Go. Eat Well. ignore the order pressure, HAVE FUN!
