Pho King Midtown

"Pho King is reliable and quick, so we’ll still hit it from time to time, but Pho King in Midtown should really be downgraded to Pho Duke because their pho feels more like a “Spare” (sorry, Harry). There are 10 pho options to choose from (steak is our pick), but they all need a bit of doctoring to take the broth to the next level. Though forgettable, their soup is adequate enough if you're in the area and need warm broth. The decor is likewise unremarkable except for a large wagon wheel with a rope on the back wall (don’t ask). " - juli horsford

"Midtown’s Pho King is a fast and affordable intown option for bowls of pho and a quick bánh mì fix. The shop only offers two sandwiches on its menu—barbecue pork and chicken—but both are solid options for when a trip to Buford Highway isn’t possible." - Beth McKibben
