Pho Cuong

I have tried all of the recommended Vietnamese restaurants in Wichita and can say that Pho Cuong is THE BEST for pho (I haven’t yet tried anything else on the menu in my four years living here because it’s so good). The egg rolls are perfect, too. Service is super fast & friendly, although they are busy there’s never a wait, and the tables are always clean. We travel all the way across town just to go here. Highly, highly recommended. 😋

I was happy with the food but not the service. The waitresses seemed to try.and whisper and had there headphones in. The. When I went to check out I had to wait while the guy was playing on his phone while he was checking me out.

Have never had pho before but am a huge fan of ramen so decided to try. We were just picking up carry out but would definitely come back and try dine in. Very friendly staff and owners. Even though it was carry out the pho was very hot still and the add in ingredients were fresh and plentiful. I love trying and supporting family businesses and will definitely be happy to come here again but this time to dine in.

Best Pho' that I've had in years. Authentic! 😀

I was brought here by coworkers who wanted to expose me to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Both are married to Vietnamese men, so I knew I could trust their guidance! I've had egg rolls before, and these were tasty and served with a sweet and sour sauce. My friends requested fish sauce- a must in their minds - but I was not a fan. Spring rolls are a new experience for me, and these were tasty with a bright flavor courtesy of the mint leaves. We also shared a traditional Vietnamese sandwich, which was good and tasted like most other ham sandwiches (AKA: not different for my palate). When we moved to the main dishes, we shared pho (yum!), bun rieu (I had never tried blood cake, and it's ok if you don't think about it) but didn't have room for the Grilled Beef with Lemon Grass vermicelli we also ordered. Lots of good food, lots of new flavors, and a fair price. I would go back!

I don't usually crave Bun Rieu but today was a special case. This is the cleanest spot that was open. Would recommend the dish. And of course, a side of baguette. 🤌

Best pho place I’ve eaten at. The owner is super friendly, the staff is shy but friendly as well. Clean place. Nice atmosphere. Love eating here because it is quick, cheap and they accommodate. I get the steak pho and leave out the onions because I don’t like it. They only messed up my food once and they quickly fixed it. Best crab Rangoons too!

Great place love it, I’ve tried many things all awesome. Great staff. Always friendly! Fast service. Super love their Vietnamese egg rolls & the sauce is awesome. Love the Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) & the Hu Tieu Nam Vang (clear noodle soup with shrimp and pork). Every soup I've had from here is excellent. The Bun dishes are great also; consisting of noodles, veggies, meats, sauce & the ones who end with Cha Gio include egg rolls. The Bun Bo Xao Cha Gio is great, it's stirfried lemongrass beef, egg rolls, and all the toppings. So they have lots of great dishes that aren't just soup. Many rice dishes, I haven't personally tried, but always look great. Convenient location in a shopping center on 37th St North close to that taco bell, amazing staff and great service. Try them!

The Pho here is amazing! The meat in the Pho w/steak isn't chewy or cheap like other pho places in Wichita. The staff are always friendly and the food comes out at a modest rate. This might not be the most picture perfect restaurant, but you won't find anything else that has a well balanced pho in Wichita. Also they always have a what sport is going on up on the televisions! I usually spend an hour or more here when I eat because I enjoy the atmosphere and hospitality!

On my tour of Vietnamese restaurants in Wichita, this was also very standard Vietnamese. The food tasted great, and was exactly what I was looking for. The place inside was very clean and open, which I appreciated. The only downsides was the portions as slightly on the smaller side. I left pretty full, but I could have eaten more. The price was very affordable so that was probably why. The staff was helpful but did not provide as much guidance as I hoped for. I also got an order of the chicken fried rice to go, and it was great. It was about $9, and I ate it in one sitting. I was full after that, but did not have any leftovers.

We've ordered take out 2 days in a row. Broth, noodles, meat and veggies are separated. You out everything together when you get home. This keeps all ingredients fresh and tasty. Both time we went with the P3 rare steak Pho and pork egg rolls.

This place was a great place to eat but not anymore, and you don't get all the items listed on the menu like a egg roll, was told oh you don't get that anymore, and they are new menus

I was craving chicken fried rice so I gave them a try and it was terrible. The rice was burnt and didn't taste right.

The pho was great. They even offer a small size in a normal size bowl, a medium ( what would be a small in other places) and a large .. my son and I had their spring rolls. They had more mint than I am used to but very good!

Best Pho in Bel Aire! I come here at least twice a week. I usually order Pho, Char broiled chicken plate with fried rice, and the pork chop plate with white rice. They're all so tasty and delicious! Definitely 5 stars!

I ordered the Vietnamese egg rolls and a large P6 (beef ball and rare steak pho). Let's start with the egg rolls, it was very good, my only critique/personal preference would be have to have been served the traditional egg roll sauce (garlic, chili flakes, vinegar, magic combination) instead of the sweet chili sauce. The pho broth was very good, even before doctoring it up with hoisin sauce, siracha, limes, etc. The noodles weren't clumped up on the bottom and separated easily. There only critique here would be that there wasn't a lot of meat. Place is very good and I will definitely be back, just will be riding double meat next time I get pho.

First time here.. I must say, pleasantly surprise the food has great flavor.. Pho - Broth was on point.. No sauce needed.. Not that fatty either. Which I like. Hu Tieu Thap Cam - pretty good.. Flavors on point and portion aren't bad. Mi Quang - just like I use to eat in Cali.. Da Nang style... Portion sizes are very decent. Definitely go back. Sorry no pictures... Lol

Good selection of Vietnamese foods, every item is decent enough but nothing stands out in particular. 4 stars for food. The service is just enough to get by. It's not great but it gets the job done. Would return if I am in the area.

Visited twice, helped by same male server who was extremely rude and unprofessional. Asked for fish sauce on Togo order and he gave me a tiny container with two drops.

Average Vietnamese food. The meat in the pho tasted a bit old. As other reviews mentioned service is not their strong suit.

First place I have found in Wichita that serves good Vietnamese . Noodle bowls are very good.

Their food has improved a lot throughout the years. I remembered when they first opened. We didn't quite enjoy the pho because it wasn't as flavorful as the other pho restaurants. Pho Cuong made the right choice, however, by doing business on the side of town where there were less competing Vietnamese restaurants. As a result, they've established a solid group of patrons. I've been visiting Pho Cuong more this year since it's super close to the gym I go to. The food has been consistent, especially their pho. If you're a true pho connoisseur, you would know better than to put a ton of sauces into the broth. The broth is delicious on its own so you can just put Sriracha and hoisin on the side for your meats. I wanted a little fire so I added some Sriracha and ended up shedding a few drops of tear. I honestly think almost all Vietnamese restaurants have the same basic items: banh mi, pho, rice rice, egg rolls, etc. Some offer more on the menu, some offer less. Some restaurants specialize in hu tieu, some specialize in banh xeo, and others simply have better pho. I've tried other items on Pho Cuong's menu in the past and I'd have to say those were mediocre at best. Their pho, however, is phenomenal. Service is decent as well. It's a family owned restaurant so you'll see a kid or two near the back. Everyone there is polite and attentive. My cup of water never goes empty. The food comes out fast and never sloppy. The place itself is clean and there's tons of space. Check them out if you haven't already.

I am from California and visiting a friend in witchita. Did not expect much flavor when we decided to get pho. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Granted the quality and taste is not the best but given the location, access to authentic spices/herbs, and the customer base the food is not bad. I ordered the spring rolls, egg rolls, special pho ( with different meats, meat balls , tendon), and Vietnamese ice coffee to try a variety so I can compare. Egg rolls and spring rolls were decent, pho had good flavor and the ice coffee was the most authentic tasting. Service was also good.

My favorite place for Pho and iv been to them all. Great flavor and quick! Will continue to be my number one spot for Pho

I've been here a few times in the days of Urbanspoon and I am overdue to go back for a follow up. The first time I went myself and had their middle sized bowl of beef pho. I loved it. Then later, I talked my family into going with me. This time, tho, I noticed other types of beef listed as other options to have with our pho. I chose another one, not entirely sure what part of beef it was from. There was a bit of communication problem, with me being deaf and owner is not "native English speaker" (which is okay as I'm not "native Vietnamese speaker.). And to top it off, I wasn't feeling well. So next result was, that pho was really nasty. Well, time flew on and the place managed to stay in business in spite of my second visit going down in flames (actually, I was sick all night that night!). So here this past winter 2015-2016 not sure when exactly, I went back by myself and had a wonderful bowl of beef pho - the nice beef. They were busy with lunch customers and take out orders, which is always encouraging. At some point, I will go back and maybe venture into another area of the menu. (But I really really like SpringRo just up the street a few blocks west and north...). Stand by for updates!

Pretty good but not the best Pho in Wichita. Pho MC on Rock is still the best I've tried so far. 7.0 out of 10. For those living nearby this will suffice. Their fried rice is tasty here.

Food is good but limited ok selection Service is ok could be better or friendlier The most annoying thing is the lady kept walking around looking at your table and eyeing what you're doing. Don't feel comfortable nor do I like people looking at what's going on my table. I'd go back just for the food if I'll deal with that lady They don't give you a veggie plate per soup unless you ask

Restaurant is clean, very fast service. The waiter was very very nice and helpful ! Food was excellent, fresh delicious. They adjust the menu according to dietary need. Overall a nice place to eat.

I've made it a regular place because the location. I like to eat in if I can. The staff, a family, is very nice and attentive. I've been trying different phos there, and everything is awesome. Super fast. Love the Vietnamese egg rolls.

Slow day, full staff working, good food but I noticed there is only cashier lady seem a bit rude. It has been second times picking up Togo at this place. She hasn't spoken a single word to you. Expect customer to look at the cashier machine and pay, not even " thank you" or smile. FYI, she does know how to smile and talk because seeing her laugh and talking to other employees. Make me feel unwelcome and like I'm getting food for free. Well there's only one lady that does that. Everybody else is good.

Really good broth with the Pho. I've had pho at many locations around the country and this place's broth/fixings is definitely on point!

This is one of our favorite family Vietnamese pho restaurants. They are always so pleasant and quality service. You feel good and healthy after eating it too.

Food was average but price was great. Apps around $3 and 2 meals was around $20 for everything. However the service was horrible. The waitress was rude and rushed and once we had food we had to flag down to get drink which she acted more rude. Will not go back since there's other places in town to get pho

Updating my review from 3 to 4 stars. Had the Pho today, it was off the hook. I thought it was phenomenal, some of the best I've ever had. Staff was friendly, place was clean, moderately priced. Definitely worth the stop!

Very good food for the price. I come here once a week. Favorite pho place in wichita!

Okay, Pho isn't my first choice, but my Asian staff forces me to east spring rolls, because they love me? Heck I don't know! But theirs are the best! This place got 4 stars because of that. We had Pho and rice noodle with charred pork and an egg roll. Flavorful, table service and reasonable too! I've only driven by this restaurant 4-7 times a week, but after all the Yelpers weighing in heavily on the quality, I had to try it. They were right, good stuff Chuck! Try it out Yelpers, and enjoy!

Best in town, great beef, great broth. Lots of Thai basil. Great in restaurant or carry out! Great service, 5 stars.

One of my favorite pho places here in Wichita. Very authentic and I crave it daily. Staff is friendly and they always have your food out in no time.

Solid & authentic Vietnamese offerings in a part of town that desperately needs it. The pho broth is yummy, it does feel a little oilier than I like. This doesn't keep me away, just nitpicking. The food is very solid. This place is perfect if you're looking for pho but have a girlfriend/boyfriend/pal that is scared of pho. They've got banh mi and fried rice. I'd say that pho coung can be a part of the holy trinity of pho in town along with my tho and little Saigon. Very awesome food if you're looking for some actual food in the Belair area.

The absolute best place in Wichita for Pho!!!! Family owned and operated. The owner Cuong (sounds like kong) is interested in his customers. When I walk through the door he greets me and knows exactly what I want without ordering. Of course he always asks, just in case I'm ordering for a guest.

This was my first time here and I loved it! I had the shrimp pho which u can't go wrong and it was amazing!!!! The server was very pleasant and helpful since it was our first time. They had the football games on so that was another plus for my husband! Prices were reasonable and I will be back very soon!

Greeted as soon as I walked in. Very clean, atmosphere is pleasant. Free WiFi so you can work through lunch. Would have like a choice of chicken pho. Beef is all they had on the menu. It was a little bland but still good. I'll be back next time I'm in the neighborhood. But wouldn't drive across town to come for pho.

I don't know what draws so many Asian eateries to the four corners of 37th and Woodlawn. They don't really share much in common with one another, aside from them all not being very good. I mean, there's nothing wrong with cheap Chinese (Great Wall) or REALLY cheap Chinese (China Go) or ??? (Tsunami), but it's not something anyone brags about. They're not destination restaurants; they're ones of convenience. At least those three have been able to find their audience - there's a fourth typically-Asian establishment that has struggled to find its place, beginning as a cheap hibachi, followed by a short lived jack-of-all-trades, and most recently occupied by Pho Cuong, which is notable if only because it's completely in line with many of the other pho restaurants in town, if only in a completely different neighborhood. As someone who has pho'd his way around this city, I'll admit the difference in broths from one place to the next is small, and while none seem to ever come close to achieving the deep, complex, and unctuous stock that defines the traditional pho broth of which I've read about in books, the better ones at least have a little bit of fat, a little bit of aromatics, and enough fixin's on the table (fixin's, of course, being the traditional Vietnam phrasing) for me to make my soup to my standards. Which is to say, Pho Cuong's broth is up there with the better restaurants in the city, if only because it didn't do anything weird with it. This ordinariness carried into both the meats of my dac biet - rare brisket, thick slices of large meatballs, tripe, and tendon - as well as the standard plate of accouterments... almost. Among the cilantro, thai basil, peppers, and bean sprouts was something I had not come across in town here - a long serrated leaf, apparently commonly found on pho plates, and and in no way related to corriander - eryngium foetidum, also known as culantro. It's firm texture and stronger, soapier (I thought it was more akin to anise on first taste) flavor is used in addition to its cilantro brother from another mother. Use it or don't, but it's the first time I've noticed it around here - not bad for a pho restaurant on 37th. Ultimately, it's the location of Pho Cuong that best defines it - a pretty good Vietnamese restaurant in a city that is not bereft of them in a neighborhood that is otherwise lacking good local restaurants. Personally, I'm just happy I no longer have to drive twenty minutes for decent pho.

I have passed by this place for a while now and am a fan of pho, so I decided I would try it. I enjoyed the broth, it was buttery and flavorful, and lets face it, when it comes to pho that's where it's at. The meat was ok. I ordered it and it was prepared fairly quickly. The service was friendly enough, but something about the atmosphere didn't quite sit with me right. I've eaten pho in NYC and here, and even though I prefer the broth of this place to Pho Hot, I still like the ambiance that comes with Pho Hot over this place.

I am a big fan of pho. I've tried it a few different places, the flavor of this place ranks up with the best of them. The decor is not much but I don't usually care about that. The thing that bothered me is that there were chunks of translucent mystery meat in the broth that I probably ate quite a few of before I started realizing it and it really grossed me out. I'm not sure if translucent fat from some unnamed source is a delight with the Vietnamese, but my American pallet wants to see that stuff strained out. Please. If it wasn't for all of the pieces of that fat that I picked out at the end, I would've been rating this at four or five stars for the flavor. Update: I gave this place another try yesterday. I see that they misunderstood my order last time and gave me the pho with beef tendons. I thought it was fat and grossed me out (now I'm really grossed out). I added a star because without the tendons, it is superb and not gross. This place is really good but hardly anyone goes there it seems.

We were greeted immediately upon entering, and were also seated immediately, drink orders were taken right then. We looked over the impressive menu and made our choices. After a very reasonable time, our food arrived fresh and hot. I am by no means a Pho expert, but the fast, friendly service combined with some of the freshest and most flavorful Pho I have ever tasted will keep me coming back for a long time!

Ive been here two times and the meat is very fatty. First time I ordered Bo Kho and the second time Bun with charbroiled pork. I am uber confused as to why this restaurant has such a good rating. Will not be back.

One of my favorites! People are sincere, place is clean, and food is delicious. My go to is PI which is enriched with meat and noodles. They give an abundance of sprouts and herbs unlike most places. My next dish is their Bun Bo Hue. It's spicy and flavorful for the cold weather.

Im from la California. I was hungry so i yelp it for good and decent pho place to eat. This place pretty good. Customer service was above average from viet or chinese restaurant. I dont mind stop by again if im in town.

I LOVE the flavor of the Beef Pho here! You won't be disappointed. It's 2nd best in town! My BF always orders a banh mi sandwich. Those sandwiches are huge and crazy cheap like $3.50 and great value. I would order the sandwich if I didn't love the pho so much! If you order a small bowl of pho around $7 you should be more than full. The medium is just gigantic! Trust me you won't go hungry with the small. I love this stuff and sometimes I can't finish it off. We come here often for lunch and have never been disappointed! Not elegant dining by any means but they deliver the food quickly.

Drove by so many times and finally tried it today. LOVED it!! Their soups is so tasty. We had the beef and chicken pho and both are so delicious. Also had their fried egg rolls and it was tasty and not greasy at all. Service was fast and friendly. They also have my favorite Durian shake and done well. Will def return!!

So the Pho broth is maybe a little weaker - more watery - than the rich broths served at some of our other pho favorites, but the real problem we've had here during three visits is the service. First visit we arrived 25 minutes before closing and they would not let us order. The second visit, the server didn't say three words to us - took our order, brought it out and didn't ask if we needed anything else, never checked back with us and never mentioned we had to pay up at the cash register as we sat at the table several minutes waiting for the check which they don't provide. Third visit was the worst - after our pho was served, a young lady started vacuuming at the tables around us, and an older gentleman employee came to place silverware on tables and started talkIng loudly in Vietnamese to the lady vacuuming. Neither one cared we were sitting right by them trying to enjoy a quiet meal. As we went to the cash register tte pay, the man at the register gladly took our money but wouldn't look at us as he was busy talking to someone who must've been an old friend. Pho had not been anything to write home about and the service was quite poor, it's not likely we'll go back a fourth time. Three strikes.

Food taste great. Service is really nice. Overall this restaurant is awesome. I would highly recommend it to all Asian and American as well. I love the coffee there.

Love to come here! Pleasant people! Delicious food! We have tried several different dishes. No complaints! Everything is fresh. Place is clean.

Great pho, friendly and efficient service, clean restaurant, good prices... What else do you need to know?

So I was finally tired of driving across town for pho so we visit Pho Cuong. Nice open atmosphere. There was adorable little girl running around filling up our waters as well. I order the large P-1 which is basically all the meat options in a giant bowl of pho. The broth was delicious and the meat was savoury. I think i found my new pho spot!

I wasn't aware that pho cuong existed until I went after my work out at the north YMCA! It's a very nice atmosphere, but I think they give less pho than other pho places. Overall, I think their pho was tasty and satisfied my cravings. The staff is also incredibly friendly. :) You should come here!
