| - Given how often I'd see them pop up in my Yelp feed late at night, I'd long wondered if Pho Kim Long was actually good or just a post-clubbing sort of spot. They have a ton of reviews, most of which don't mention being here in the wee hours of the morning, but it'd also be fair to say a good chunk of their business comes well after midnight. Then again, who cares? Cheap pho is always good, especially to save a few bucks in Vegas!
In all seriousness though, I was actually pretty excited to finally try Pho Kim Long, even despite running into a line at 9pm (a sign they might actually be good!). Now, maybe it's just because I'm used to divy pho spots in the Bay Area, but I was impressed with how big and clean this place is! Similarly, the menu and all of its options looked great as well. Though there were a bunch of things I wanted to try, I already knew what I had to get...
-- CHA GIO - Kim Long Fried Egg Rolls (Chicken)...$6.75

Decent, but not among the better ones I've had. While the rolls were both meaty and sizable for the money, the flavors fell short for me. Mainly, I just wish they had used pork instead of chicken (it was kind of dry). That said, I did like how golden and crispy they were!
-- PHO DAT BIET - Special Combination Tender Beef Noodle Soup...$8.95
(https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pho-kim-long-las-vegas?select=dK-d8vH9JT9IfchjGbqzKQ)
I wasn't expecting this to disappoint, but I was still pleasantly surprised! The broth wasn't too shabby (beefy and not too oily) and the bowl was pretty large and chock full of stuff. That said, the noodle to meat ratio was heavily skewed to the latter, as this was rather light on the carbs.
As far as service goes, I have to agree with others that it's definitely not their strong suit. While there wasn't any singular issue for us, most of the staff was a bit dismissive of us. I know - not exactly atypical of pho joints, but the staff wasn't typical of most pho joints either (read: younger, no grumpy, impatient old guys).
All in all, the THREE AND A HALF STARS is dead on, but I rounded down despite how their pho is pretty decent. They're definitely better than just a late night spot (open 24 hours!), but not good enough to endure the inevitable wait. I'm more inclined to try one of the other pho joints I've seen than to come back, but I'm still glad I finally made it here!
