    My husband and I stopped here after reading over Pho Cuong’s great reviews and seeing what a large social media hype the restaurant had, but we were both extremely disappointed. Service, food, and cleanliness all received failing scores. The “about” section of this eatery on Google is described as a “No-frills” eatery and that’s the literal definition of the place. No social distancing measures are in place. We were seated about 3 1/2 feet away from the family next to me (there was about two feet of space from the edge of our table to the next). Not cool. All four workers, we noticed during our time there, were not masked. Also not cool. I sat as my husband proceeded to the counter to place our order. I should have listened to my gut instinct as soon as I overheard the cashier guy give a little attitude towards my husband when my husband forgot to mention the letter prior to the meal item number. It was a little comment, but it was snarky and uncalled for. My experience was then followed by a dirty women’s restroom (sticky floors and a baby roach that I was kind enough to step on, but not kind enough to wipe up and throw away.. so yes, I did leave that little fellow on the floor for the next person to see). After coming out of the restroom I found myself staring at a pathetic platter of pho veggie garnish toppings. The bean sprouts were browning, the lime slices were probably more than two or three days old as the browning of the lime skin was not sporadic but were along the edges of the slices, dry jalapeno slices, and spotty molded Thai Basil leaves. The pho broth was fine as far as temperature goes, but it lacked flavor and salt. Our meat portions were skim, but we found ourselves even more disappointed at the amount of noodles considered to be labeled as a “large”. Cuong’s large pho bowl is equivalent to most other place’s small, so items here are way overpriced. For those who haven’t visited this place, I’d say spend your $20 elsewhere. For those of who have visited this place, and think the pho is good, I’d say keep venturing out to find a better pho place. Don’t just believe their pho is good because some other reviewer said so, because some newspaper wrote it so, or some social media or famous person has biased-ly misled you. My husband I have both tired at least 30 or more Pho restaurants ( mostly in the Midwest and East Coast) and Pho Cuong would probably be pretty close to being tied with our least favorite place we’ve had. Unfortunately we aren’t from Oklahoma so we aren’t able to assist with any recommendations. Some noble advice: 1). Clean your restrooms and periodically check on them to make sure they’re sanitized 2). Control your pest issue 3). Retrain your cashier ( Asian male mid 30s, maybe) some proper manners and customer service 4). Add more meat and noodles or redo your pricing 5). Don’t assign seats to your customers. If you don’t have actual waiters, it doesn’t make sense that customers can’t seat themselves and sit further away from other occupied tables 6). Don’t prep your veggies and garnishments so many days in advance, prepare them fresh. It shows a lot about a restaurant if they’re willing to push out some old cheap veggies. It’s really just embarrassing. 7). Workers should strongly consider wearing masks

    I changed it up this time and instead of pho I had the bun bo hue. The flavor was great! Spicy and savory. Food is always on point!

    Not really recommend for Vietnamese about the food taste. You had to go to cashier to order. The food preparing is fast.

    Pho: Not the best I had. I ordered the one that wasn’t supposed to have a lot of fat on the brisket and the picture speaks for itself. The broth was a little weak as well. Ramen: My picky daughter loved it. Spring roll: Pretty good. The sauce made it. Smoothie: HANDS DOWN THE BEST MANGO SMOOTHIE EVA! Next time I will go there just for the smoothie.

    The BUN BO HUE is top notch. Very delicious and tons of flavor. Recommend 10 out of 10. I have had Pho all over the country and this place is Top of that list.

    My favorite pho around town. I used to be prefer Pho Lien Hoa, but after repeated visits I can say this is my favorite. The spicy and spicy/sour broths add extra layers of yummyness. The #21 with the grilled pork is something unique and wonderful, it has an extra smokiness in the broth. Highly recommended!

    We do both dine in and take out with pho Cuong and they are consistent with both! Weve tried different pho restaurants across okc and keep coming back here because their broth is just the best!

    The best Bún bò Huế ever!!!!! Go here and eat, small and controlled, nice variety menu for Vietnamese cuisine, and you can tell the place is somebody’s pride and joy and it shows in the food. Kitchen was pumping out hot soups my whole time there and all I could hear was folks hitting the bottom of their bowls towards the end of it all. There’s something different about their Thai Tea but I loved it.

    Passing through, read the reviews and decided to stop by to try this place out. All of our meals were delicious. This seems to be a very popular place. Lots of customers dining in. Watch out for the corner square table (#6) seems to have some condensation dropping down from the ceiling. You may not want that in your food.

    Cute little family run restraunt. Outstanding soup! Bun bo huy was perfect. 🔥 There was more than enough, I could have shared with a person or two. Fresh ingredients perfectly seasoned, and quick service has me ready to come back!

    The building already look dirty but the foods even taste dirtier. Found cockroach stick on my tea cup and the pho soup taste like they keep using the left over for a month. If I tell the department about the roach right after I got the tea drink from them I’m sure they gonna be outta business in no times.

    I love this restaurant and the staff is mainly family working together and so kind and dedicated to their customers. They're always really busy so depending on the time frame be patient with that. I love to get the 21 (grilled pork pho) - if you love the grilled pork rice platters, you will not regret trying it in pho. So unique and wonderfully flavored, and they do not skimp on the meat.

    My husband and I tried this place for the first time today and it was AMAZING. The place is very homey and accommodating. The customer service was great they always kept your cup full and asked if everything was okay or if you needed anything else. The food was the best part it came out fast and hot. I ordered the #3 beef and beef meatball pho it was huge and absolutely tasty. On the side I ordered Vietnamese style spring rolls and they were very delicious. We will definitely come back here a second time.

    Good pho. You have to place your order at the window and pay at the window. Its slightly cheaper than other pho places in the neighborhood (by $1). They are understaffed and sometimes during busy times, it takes a while 5-10 minutes to wait for food to come out. Nice owners.

    My family has been going to Pho Cuong for 16+ years, and it is still hands down my favorite pho… scratch that.. my favorite restaurant. Since living out of state now for the last 7 years, “noodle” as my family has nicknamed it, is my first stop when I visit! We love it here, the food, staff and memories!

    Cleanliness... I give 0 stars. It's very dirty. Doors look like those old gas station bathrooms from horror movies.. gross. Food was barely 3 stars I'm actually surprised it's rated 4.6. I would definitely never go back or recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Jayline M. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is one of the top Pho locations in Oklahoma City! The food is absolutely delicious and the customer service is fantastic! Their pot stickers are my absolute favorite Appetizer and I highly recommend the chicken Pho! Definitely recommend coming here!

    I used to like this place until today. I ordered takeout and asked for fresh spring rolls and specifically asked NO PORK…. Well when i got home, i realized that they put pork in them. Literally the only reason i went to pickup food from there is because of the fresh spring rolls. I rather go somewhere where they follow instructions. Also, prices here went way up which is not worth it for the quality of food or service.
