Pho King

My family loves this place! We range in age from 6 – 40 (there are six of us) and we all find something to enjoy. It is fresh and delicious, and the service is good.
The spring rolls, egg rolls, and fried rice always hit the spot! The Thai Coffee and Thai Tea are fantastic!
Highly recommended if you are new to the Ft., just passing through, or looking for a new favorite!

Just moved to Arkansas from San Diego and searched high and low for a Phở place that was as good as the places I go back home… this place is a very close 2^nd. Awesome service and the rare steak phở was delicious! Will definitely be back.

Went there at 6:15 and the place was closed with no explanation. There are a lot of Vietnamese places in Fort Smith that don’t make it, as there is a large population here and hence a lot of competition. The place didn’t appear to be closed down, just closed. I don’t get it.

Awesome, authentic food. Yum!

We were craving hot Phở soup when in the area. Very happy to have found this place. The décor was simple but clean, the service was good and fast! Food was very good — does not have the strong MSG taste as some other Phở places we’d been to. We all enjoyed our Beef Phở soups here very much.

The vermicelli bowls and phở at this place are awesome. Best Vietnamese in Ft. Smith. The only problem Phở King is that they close early so check their business hours.

Best Vietnamese food in town. My family and I have never been disappointed with the several different dishes that we have ordered. The taste and varieties of dishes offered makes it the preferred phở shop of the locals!

4 stars for taste but like all Vietnamese restaurants lacked of common manner. Waiters yelled across the restaurant while taking order.

In the mood for «Chinese food,» we followed Unilocal reviews and wound up at Phở King.
Food: we had spring rolls (2 chicken and 2 shrimp) for appetizers. They were light and mildly flavored, served with a flavorful thick peanut sauce. We each had Pad Thai for our entrees, mine chicken, his shrimp. Tasty, noodles firm, crisp sprouts. I liked the shrimp best, as they were seasoned and grilled. Huge glass of sweet iced tea, only $ 1. Total came to $ 15.
Ambiance: I’m confused about the «dumpy» comments in the reviews. Look, it’s a Vietnamese restaurant in a tiny strip mall. Maybe that colors my expectations. It was plain– white walls without decoration, black and white tile on the floor (scuffed but clean), black tables, black chairs and booths, all in good repair. Bathroom scuffed but clean. Dumpy? No, not at all. What were the other reviewers expecting when the lunch entrees are less than 7 bucks each?
Service: again, I read the reviews before we got there, where I learned that the staff were surly. There was only one server, so I’d call her preoccupied not unfriendly. Every time I said, Thank you, she said, You’re welcome. We did get her to smile at the end, but I noticed that she never once made eye contact. Cultural difference? Service was fast and she checked on us twice. There was an elderly man cleaning tables. I’m going to call him Tired.
In summary, the food was as good as previous good reviews indicated, the place plain but clean, the staff efficient but overworked. I would definitely go there again, and this time I’d like to try the phở.

The owner works very hard at running this restaurant, and her attention to her food and menu shows it.
We went in on a cold and wet day to get some phở in order to warm up, and were sat down immediately. Shortly thereafter, water with lemon wedges came along with their menus. The owner herself was working the front as both a hostess and a waitress!
The food was excellent. We had their shrimp spring rolls first. Their rice paper wrap was not ripped at all. Their shrimp tasted fresh, with abundant herbs and bean sprouts to add additional layers of flavor. Their dipping sauce struck the right balance between sweet, sour, and hotness.
Then came the phở. It was hot, salty, and full of bold flavors. In other words, just the way we like it. The owner also gave us plenty of basil, sliced jalapenos, bean sprouts, and other herbs, to go along with our phở.
Finally, after the meal, we asked the owner where we can go to get Asian groceries (since it was our first time in Ft. Smith), she provided very detailed information for us. Overall, our dining experience was exemplary. The owner is beautiful too ;)
So, go and enjoy a great meal. You’ll be a repeat customer just like us.

My favorite phở place in Fort Smith! The food is delicious and satisfying & I love the family that owns Phở King! I’m not going to lie, I have had lunch & dinner here back to back a few times. You won’t be disappointed. :)
