| - Nice and tasty little hole in the wall out in Old Henderson. My group and I were shopping at Galleria Mall when we got a hankering for some pho!
My partner googled a spot near us and found Pho King Phonomenal.
The place is near the Southern College of Nevada, in what used to be a small strip of stores building. They have a small private lot in what looks like a quiet neighborhood. When you first walk into this place you'll notice that there are two rooms, one is the main dining room with bar style seating, and tables. The other is a large lounge area with mix matched area rugs and furniture, complete with a darts board and T.V.
The next thing you'll notice is the Big Trouble in Little China mural, and if you walk down the hall way to the restrooms, you'll notice tons of colorful writing on the wall from patrons of this place. It's pretty interesting. I'm kicking myself because as I'm writing this, I realize that we forgot to partake in the writing on the wall!
Parents! There's a kids selection! Two or three items, but real nice if you ask me, as most pho places don't have a kid's menu. The waitress pointed the items out to me on the menu board on their wall.
It was my group's first time, so as first timers do- we pretty much ordered what was recommended. We each got the Phonominal Pho, the tater tots, sliders, Thai coffee and Thai tea. The kids got Holy Cheezus, and a kids Ramen.
The tots are awesome to share and a total crowd pleaser, even the kids enjoyed the ones that didn't have hot sauce on them. Thai coffee was amazing according to everyone, my Thai tea was a little too milky or watered down. Holy Cheezus was freaking awesome, but my six year old felt like it was cheese overload. So when he got down to the last slice, he began to pick the cheese off. The sliders were juicy and yummy according to our partners, I was too full and focused on my pho to take a bite of the slider...which comes in a set of three pieces btw.
Now let me tell you about the Pho. The waitress was so kind to bring us a sampling of the broth before we ordered. We each agreed that it was flavorful and had a nice kick of spice in it. When we got our bowls, they kind of took the pruning and picking work out of it, as they already add the bean sprouts, and mint for you. Although, now that I think of it...I feel like my bowl didn't have any mint; however, I did taste the basil. Anyways, the noodles are so good-not flour tasting like other places and also not pre-separated like most pho places...you know! Like when you get your bowl and all the noodles are like stuck together as if they've balled them up and stuck them in bowls waiting in the chillers and then doused with some soup stock and garnishes right before you get it! I know, you know!
Anyways, it's not like that at all! Seems like they cook everything together. The meat is shredded, which was pretty different and we were all pretty much content about the taste of the broth that we didn't squirt lime, or hoisin sauce, and hot sauces in it. I felt like there was too much shredded meat in my bowl, I ended up eating everything except for all the meat. The monkey balls are your standard meat ball, and it's whole-so they're big balls!
Overall, the place was great. The bathroom in the lounge area is unisex- needed a refill on soap. The waitress was friendly and mindful of the kids, the food was awesome. Menu selection was minimal but very interesting. If you're looking for spring and summer rolls - don't go here. It's not your traditional pho place. I'd recommend this place for anyone who's looking to try something new! Next time I'm here, I'm trying the sandwiches!
