Pho Kitchen

The food here is absolutely delicious. The pho broth is so flavorful. Eggrolls are crispy and delicious. Our server was very nice. You can tell he is having to do everything and it's a lot of work for one person but he is doing a great job. I'm so happy we found Vietnamese food in Cookeville. It was a real treat. Highly recommend!

Would return. This hidden Tennessee gem surprisingly falls on the authentic side of Midwest/Southern attempts at pho and broken rice. The spring rolls were passable and actually elevated by the warm peanut sauce. The beef pho veggies were missing basil, but the broth really did hit the spot after a long day of travel, and the noodles went down easy as well. The beef short rib and rice was put together nicely and the fish sauce hit all the notes, even if not super strong. The Thai tea probably came out of a concentrate, but nothing was wrong with it. The wooden chopsticks splintered my mom’s finger but came out without a fuss. People on other reviews complained about the plastic utensils but they weren’t problematic for us. The cashier played server and was taking phone-in orders, doing about three jobs at once. We got lucky with street parking. The bathroom was clean and so was the dining room, if a bit sparse with the decor.

The pho broth offered a truly exceptional and refined flavor. The chicken bánh mì was excellent—tender, well-prepared, and pleasantly light in texture. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and welcoming. The young owner was courteous, energetic, and highly professional, making the din

I visited this restaurant and had the fresh spring rolls, which were excellent. The peanut dipping sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was clean, warm, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I will certainly recommend this restaurant to others.

Pho Kitchen is a wonderful spot for comforting, flavorful food. The chicken pho had a rich, soothing broth that was exactly what I was craving — especially when you’re not feeling your best and want something warm and nourishing like chicken noodle soup. The flavor was delicious and very satisfying. I was a little surprised by the portion of chicken included, as I expected a bit more protein in the bowl considering the price. That said, the overall meal was still excellent. The real standout for me was the ginger tea — it was fantastic and made with actual fresh ginger, which you can truly taste. It felt restorative and paired perfectly with the pho. Overall, a great experience with comforting flavors, and I will definitely be back — especially for that ginger tea!

If you’re in Cookeville and want really good Vietnamese food, you gotta go here. This is a place we frequent often, and it never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pho is seriously so good. The broth has great flavor, everything tastes fresh, and the portions are big. It’s been consistently great every time we’ve gone, and we’ll definitely keep coming back.

The best pho in town for pretty cheap. 15 bucks a bowl. Always playing classy music that isnt distracting. Service is attentive and quick. Everything was clean and it wasn't overcrowded. If you want pho or a good vietnamese style sandwich, you want to come here.

The seafood pho is absolutely delicious. The broth, made from beef bones, is incredibly rich, aromatic, and full of authentic flavor.

This place was very nice. The pho and spring rolls were so good. And the people were very friendly. I'd go back.

For being the only pho restaurant here, it was pretty decent. I ordered the spicy Bun Bo hue which hit the spot especially for these colder months. The soup was spicy and savory, the beef slices were cooked how I like it, wasn't a big fan of meatballs but nonetheless it was overall a 7.5/10. Now I gotta try their regular pho!

I love Pho kitchen!! so so good, definitely worth trying! Multiple times that i've visited with someone, we're the only ones in the restaurant. Service is great, very quick. Their menu has everything you'd except, would love to see the addition of Vermicelli noodles to it.

Wow! So delicious. In my younger years, I worked in a lab with Vietnamese counterparts and this bright back so many good flavor memories.

The pho here has the best savory broth. I ordered the beef pho and we also got two pork buns and banh mi. All of the food was exceptional and so flavorful. The best pho I've ever had. I wish we weren't from out of town so we could come back every week!

Ok Tennessee, I live in the DC area wish has some of the best Pho spots in the US. Pho Kitchen has a really basic but delicious soup. Most Pho spot have multiple styles of Pho and at times it gets confusing, Pho Kitchen has beef and chicken, no need to understand the types of meat the are normally included in different types of pho cultures. The food is delicious but needs to maybe expand the meat selections to finer cuts and include a little more meat and veggie (sprouts, cilantro, onion) and this place would be awesome.

We found this little spot while visiting downtown Clarksville and really enjoyed it. The owner was friendly and the Pho was well prepared with a rich depth of flavor. The Thai coffee was a bit heavy on the chocolate and light on the coffee. Ambiance was ok, could maybe use a little light dinner music.

My friend and I are on a quest to try the local non chain food restaurants. We are both foodies, her from the east coast and I from the mid west. As we walked in I loved the exposed brick walls. I love old buildings (If you ever get a chance to walk the grounds of Alvin C York VA Medical Center and see the old brick buildings you will understand what I mean. We were seated right away and presented with menus. Everything on the menu looked and sounded so good. The food that was cooking smelled delicious. My friend ordered the 2 spring rolls, pork noodle bowl and a Diet Coke. I on the other hand decided that even though I had just had a minor surgery earlier in the day to throw caution to the wind... I ordered the grilled chicken noodle bowl, added an egg roll and my favorite Thai Tea... Our meal was prepared and served to us. We were allowed to start eating and actually taste our food and were checked on to make sure that our meal was prepared to our liking. I get adventurous and some extra spices that were at the table and that took an already delicious meal over the top. I can't wait to go back and try some more delicious menu items. I highly recommend Pho Kitchen for either eat in or carry out.

Wow, just amazing food! Appreciate a great bowl of Pho. Always good no matter what season. So many don't think soup is good in the warmer months. I like soup always! Thank you!!! Love the setting! Love that our city is becoming more diverse!

The beef pho, bahn mi, pork bun were all amazing. Best Vietnamese food! You must try!

I love Vietnamese food. I had no idea that this place existed until a few days ago. I dragged my husband there today to try the veggie banh mi! It did not disappoint. The bun was soft and chewy and warm! Inside was shredded carrots, pickled radish, tofu, mushroom, cilantro and a yummy sauce. It was fresh, spicy and full of flavor. We also got a side order of the spring rolls. They were freshly made, packed full of ingredients and served with one of the best peanut sauces I've had in a long time. The owner greeted us, did the cooking and serving! He was super friendly and we had pleasant chit chat with him. Ambiance: super relaxed spot with no pretense. The restaurant itself is fine, lots of tables (with all the good sauces on each one)!! It was nice and warm and friendly and the food was super authentic and super tasty. I'll be back for sure!

The service and food were great!!! Highly recommend this eatery!!! Servings large enough to bring left overs home!!

I did not like the food here. When you're craving pho and wanting to enjoy your experience this is not my first choice at all. The flavor was missing and the quality of everything was bland.

This is my go to spot for Pho! I have tried a few things on the menu, and nothing has been as good as the spicy beef noodle soup. It's so good that neither my wife or myself can get anything else now. The level of spice is different each time. But most dishes are medium to slightly hot. But never too hot for me to eat. My wife does not like spicy foods, and this is not too spicy for her. Try it you'll thank me later. The service is always very good. The owner does most of the work so he is always running around very busy but your food is always promptly delivered and he is very pleasant.

Beef pho and Grilled chicken with rice noodles were great! Very large and filling portions.

Visiting from out of town. Kids loved the bahn mi, I loved the pho. We shared bao buns and spring rolls for appetizers.

Yummy food and great service! The chef came and checked on us multiple times. We will be back the next time we come to Cookeville!

DELICIOUS!! Ample food for the price. Service great! Each time we've gone, has been just the owner there, but he is super fast.

Checked Operation time and arrived restaurant around 7:00pm at a parallel parking spot on the street in front of the restaurant to find it closed with no lights at all inside. Their closing time on Yelp is 8:00pm. Have no idea if the place is even opened. Has to drive 2 miles back to the vicinity to eat at the old reliable Crackle Barrel.

Favorite place to eat in Cookeville!!Service and food are always amazing. Couldn't recommend this place more.

How is this place not packed for dinner? The Pho is outstanding. I can't think of anything negative to say except I ate it too quickly. The Bahn Mi (chicken) is perfection between toasted bread. The veggies were crisp, the flavor was perfect and the chicken outstanding. The flavors perfectly complimented each other. Sadly, Bristol, VA does not have a place like this. Only if I could bro g a bunch back home... I will be back in the area next week and I know where I am having dinner! To all the Cookevillians, you are missing out and should eat here once a week, at least. Places like this are a rare find and should be treasured.

Fresh food. Great service and options for all of us- Vegetarian, meat and potatoes lover, shellfish avoider and teenager pallet. This place is fabulous!

Wow what a phenomenal bowl of Pho!!! We got the beef pho, and the chicken pho ga it was delicious. Pork bun was perfect. My fiancé is from California and this definitely tastes the same as the pho we would get there! The Thai tea is super tasty too and my daughter got lemonade , I swear it was fresh squeezed! Must try this place totally worth it. We happened to be the only ones in the restaurant. :)

We happened upon this place and we thought it was closed but tried the door and it was open! We tried their spicy beef pho and it was amazing! The serving size was huge! The flavor of the broth was so delicious! There were a ton of noodles and meat! The service was so fast and the restaurant was clean ! We will return!

This restaurant is a much needed addition to Cookeville! With friendly staff, convenient location, and great food, Vietnamese Pho should be on everyone's restaurant bucket list. My husband and I had the beef pho, as well as the shrimp spring rolls. If you're not hungry, it's still worth a stop to get their Vietnamese iced coffee. It's better than any coffee shop in town! While the prices may be a little higher than some Viet restaurants in Nashville, such as VN Pho & Deli (also highly recommend), the food served is unlike any other you'll find in Cookeville. A bowl of pho at Vietnamese Pho hits the spot!

Awesome to have Pho locally. Finally got to try and would recommend for sure nice people and great food.

Absolutely spot-on pho and bun bo hue. Simplified menu vs what you might find at a pho place somewhere with a larger Vietnamese community, but the execution is excellent. Cookeville is lucky to have someplace this good.

This place is phenomenal. Food presentation was gorgeous and tasted out of this world! I can't wait to go back!

First time here, and it's amazing! Ordered the spicy beef noodle soup-super good! Very flavorful and fresh! Highly recommend! 10/10 check it out!

Great pho! Stopped in here randomly and I was not disappointed. The broth has great flavor and the beef is high quality.

Family and I stopped here for dinner. All of our dinners were great. Service was equally good.

Love this restaurant! Spring rolls are the best in Cookeville. I like the shrimp and the vegetables. The grilled chicken with rice noodles is a lovely Hugh plate of food with and egg roll included! Called Bun Ga Nudng in Vietnamese. Then the pho Ga or chicken noodle soup is fantastic! Got a cold or COVID? Order and pick up. Friendly nice homey restaurant. Beverly Beal customer

Best Pho I have ever had in the US. The service is second to none. I love the location and the ambiance. I found it to be really cool in that part of town.

Art is cool. Food is good. Staff is nice. You should eat at this restaurant yes. Thank you.

I honestly almost passed this place up, but I am so glad I didn't. I ordered the Bahn Mi, and let me say for the price, it was the best I've had so far. Left me wanting another. The freshness of the veggies made it what I wanted it to be! I will be returning every time I am in Cookeville.

Love this little place! My college son introduced me. I had veggie spring rolls. Hubbie had chucken bahnmi. Really good. Waiter may have been owner. So friendly fast and efficient! Will definitely go back!

This is the best Pho I have ever had! Quality is excellent and great customer service. A must try!

This place is seriously such a gem! The staff are very friendly, the restaurant is clean and comfortable. My husband and I got the pho and also enjoyed some of the amazing pork buns! I can't recommend this place enough!

Very good food. Pho was amazing. Price is affordable. Will come back when I visit Sam Diego next time.

Great authentic Vietnamese food! I literally felt like I was back home eating a home cooked meal! Very clean and the food was amazing !

Wanted Pho but wanted to try a new place.. and wow. This was amazing! Me and my wife both got the beef noodle soup and it was delicious! The pork buns (bao) were also amazing. The food was so refreshing and filling and the service was so nice!

Oh my. We love pho and don't have a place in our hometown so this was a special treat! It's clearly family owned and if you're not used to small family owned asian restaurants you may be disappointed in decor or service, which can be slow at times. But the FOOD omg! Chicken. Pho, limeade, and ginger tea are On. Point. We loved it. Perfect for a cold evening. I'd take a picture of my food but couldn't stop eating it long enough to shoot a photo lol...

Absolutely Amazing food and extremely nice owner, hope it becomes more popular and can stay around

Just simply delicious. Loved our Pho Bo and Pho Ga!

Amazing food - great service - fun atmosphere. Always looking for good Pho ga. Found it here! Highly recommend.

So good! We ordered the spring rolls, pork sandwich and shrimp noodles!!! The taste is amazing and the sauces oh my gosh!!! Sooo good and the gentleman was so kind and happy to help serve us and very present.

Food was great, particularly liked the spring rolls. It was so very quiet for a Saturday evening. Hope others discover this little place and the business does well.

I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and the chicken noodle soup from here. Both were rather expensive ($16 and $14 respectively), but they did give us a lot of food. It was enough to feed a family. However, the broth for both soups was flavorless, and overall the meals were not nearly as good as I thought they would be. I'm giving it 3 stars because i've only ordered two things from the menu, so I can't say how the rest of the food is.
