Pho King 4 226 3rd Street, Davis, CA 95616

"This place was absolutely amazing! The service was so great! The lady in the front was so sweet and welcoming! The business is family owned and operated for 13 years now! I came here and I kid you not I ate everything! I was shocked it was all that good and so inexpensive for how much food it was! I couldn’t even get how amazing this place was! The pho had so much flavor and the sandwich was like no other restaurant! These were the best spring rolls I have ever had!! I’m from the Bay Area and there are so many pho places and this place doesn’t even come close to them it’s by far superior! If you’re in the area come check this place out! Best place in this town and that’s also including the Bay Area!"

"A top tier restaurant with a top tier name. Pho had superb soup flavor and great meat, all around very well made stuff, and their coffee was excellent as well. The staff were very helpful and attentive!"

"Phi broth was bland and lacking flavor. It is full of salt and MSG but it lacks beef flavor and traditional seasonings. There was also a quarter as much meat as other places. They also did not offer basil leaf in the vegetable tray! This place was much better five years ago. The owners have changed since then and the quality has not been satisfactory. I will not be back. If I were to compare this place to an authentic pho restaurant, it would be akin to boiling a steak and serving it as is compared to a classic salt and pepper rub and searing it over a grill. It's still beef but it's nowhere near as good as it should be. Save your money and go somewhere else."

"At lunchtime, I ordered the beef pho with steak, brisket, flanks ($13 for small) and dined inside the restaurant. Most seating is indoors but there are also tables outside. My noodles were served quickly within 10 minutes of ordering by friendly staff. The pho had a delightful soup and the amount of meat was generous for the price and portion. The flank was a bit chewy for my tastes, I’d stick with just the brisket or steak next time. I was slightly taken aback by the noodles, as they unfortunately clumped together. Maybe this is just the style of pho in the area, as the noodles were of similar quality to other Vietnamese restaurants nearby. Overall, this is definitely a great local place I will be returning to and trying out more dishes! EDIT: I came back to try the bahn mi ($6.50) and it was delicious, nicely toasted with fresh jalapeños and all the right fixings."
