Went on a weekend with 2 others, all with light appetites. Very busy, but somehow managed to quickly obtain a table without reservations. Initial confusion, since lunch plates are only served weekdays. We only ordered one entree to share (Sweet and Sour Chicken); plus one extra side of fried rice; plus three small bowls of soup (Egg Drop, Hot and Sour, and Wonton.) Our waiter was very friendly, and he brought out three small empty plates to share for the entree, without us asking. Food was enjoyed by all, and there was plenty of it for our three light appetites. Soup went from steaming hot to comfortably hot quickly, maybe from the surface area ratio of the small size. I believe this is more of an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, but that also serves Americanized Chinese dishes (such as we ordered.) A couple of muted TV screens for the bored. Sriracha bottles at tables. Beer is on the menu, seemingly alone for alcoholic beverages. We received spoons, forks and chopsticks; no knives, but maybe those are also available if requested? Very pleased with food, service, and pricing. The best deals are probably those weekday lunches, tho.
My very first Pho experience was here, at least 15 years ago. I was introduced to King Wok by my Vietnamese Co-worker, at the time. The pho and spring rolls, from King Wok, have been my long standing, all-time favorites. No other Pho compares and no other peanut sauce for the Spring Rolls can compare. Trust me, I've tried plenty of others around the state. If you're looking for an authentic and delicious Pho, this needs to be your go-to place. The staff is friendly. Service is decently fast. Toppings for the Pho are always fresh and on point.
The food is great here. Tried the bun bo Hue and the taste and aroma was very satisfying. I also enjoyed the salmon teriyaki along with com ga (rice chicken) and com suon nuong (rice , grilled pork chop). Yummm!
We stopped here on our way through town not knowing anything about it other than the Google reviews. It was AMAZING! We got the pan fried dumplings and they were so good I will be dreaming about them!! We also got the Pho Tai, which was also great. Everything was very fresh tasting, the restaurant felt clean, and the staff were kind and attentive! If we are driving through Indianapolis again, we will definitely stop.
I had 129, a Vietnamese Shrimp dish and it was delicious. I was with a group of 11 and we all delicious meals. Definitely a place to come back to.
DELICIOUS AND EXCELLENT SERVICE!! So clean and nice inside. You walk in and are greeted right away. I really enjoyed eating here. It was so hot outside that day, and it was great walking into a place that was so clean, and the attention to detail is great. Delicious pan-fried dumplings!! Tried the number 113, and my friend had the 106. Hoping to return soon.
Great pho. Pork lo mein really good, as was tge summer rolls
Have stopped in here twice, once for carry out once for a quick bite and it was so good both times!! Highly recommend the pho and the lemon grass tofu! The egg rolls were just so so but the other dishes I’ll be dreaming about. Plus the staff is super friendly.
