I have to admit this is one of the best kept secrets in the lake. Charles area absolutely loved the food here and my wife and I visited at least once or twice a week while we stayed in America food was always fresh and was extremely tasty. Definitely worth a try.

For a restaurant that names itself pho world, it does not deliver whatsoever when it comes to the authentic flavors of Vietnamese food. Although many would deem the pho from this restaurant as excellent, or with rich flavor, the broth is something that tastes like it was made with too much beef concentrate/msg/ or perhaps no raw spices. The broth was too much on the sweet side, to the extent that you must add lime + mint etc, with no flavor of a broth that has been simmering with beef bones. The broth is the most important factor of pho, needing to be clear with a rich beef taste was practically a mouthful of sugar water with beef flavor. The mint and greens that came out with the noodles were old and wilting with most of them being darker than should be served. The noodles were fine and the meat used (eye round, brisket, meatball) were all on par but more on the tough side. The server did what you expect from an Asian restaurant, take your order and never come back. I spent $70.40 for 4 bowls of pho including drinks and I won't be back. - for an average of $14.50+ a bowl of pho I expected more of everything since typically a bowl should not go for more than $9.75-$12.75 as per usual.

Really impressive pho! The broth is very well flavored. I ordered the house special beef pho, and I would order it again. The toppings were very fresh and the portion is large. The services was very fast. I will definitely be back for more pho.

CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS WHEN THE SON AND DAUGHTER are NOT THERE. i mean honestly, i have to assume the older man and woman are the owners and they are both RUDE AS HELL. didn’t get our drink until he brought the food out, i can hear their music from their phones from the kitchen constantly also a simple sign that says “please sit anywhere” would really solve a lot of confusion. on the upside the food is amazing and that’s they main thing i guess. will have to order to go next time.

Order house special pho.There was something in it that me and my cietnamese husband didn't even know. It was white and tasted foul. It was terrible! I tried to enjoy it. We took all of the foul stuff out and our stomachs paid the price. ? won't return. Smelled bad inside too. We wanted to like it...
The pho and appetizer were really good and our waitress was nice. I will say that the restaurant felt dingy and the dirty fish tank made me lose my appetite a little bit. From what I could see, the kitchen looked very clean, though. Overall 4/5.

My favorite restaurant in Lake Charles. The soup is always delicious. Service is excellent. Staff is super friendly. My go-to place where I can have a relaxing lunch and read a chapter.

I adore this place! They’re definitely hands down one of my top favorite restaurants of Lake Charles. I almost always get the beef pho soup, but the pan fried pho is good too. Everything is always fresh. They never disappoint! If you haven’t eaten here yet, you don’t know what you’re missing.
