Well worth the extra block or two walk from campus! Never a wait at lunch and delicious food!
Tl;dr Good for a quick Vietnamese craving fix but not my number one choice I love the ambiance of the restaurant. It has a lovely location tucked next to some dessert places and second hand thrift. Not only that, but the restaurant is truly decorated like a Viet restaurant and whenever I enter I feel like I'm back home. The pho and salted plum lemonade are solid. I've ordered these to go and the pho is really perfectly packaged and easy to eat wherever without having to grab anything else. I've also had their bun bo hue and this just wasn't as flavorful and strong as I tend to associate with this dish. Maybe I'm just used to my mom's rendition of this. Overall, good for pho and their spring rolls look amazing, don't think I'd come back for the bun bo hue.
I finally got to try this place and ordered the lemongrass stir fried tofu for takeout. It was slightly spicy, but otherwise quite good - very flavorful with strong spicing. Thankfully it didn't come with peanuts. It's a bit on the pricier side, but the portion was large so I was able to make a second meal out of it. They also sell drinks such as milk teas.
Pho K&K serves southern pho! (Thank you Kristi!) It was overall a decent spot for the price! I got the pho ga nha which was served with chicken breast, onions, and a plate of toppings on the side. The chicken breast was very dry and the broth did not help with the dryness, but the noodles were the perfect texture, the onions added a layer of crunchiness to it. The plate was very standard with a good assortment of string beans, jalapenos, limes, and mints. The soup was flavorful but it did not balance well with the dry chicken breast. However, the service was great. Food was brought out super fast, there was a great array of sauces, napkins, and chopsticks too. My friend and I had a wonderful time sitting in and enjoying the ambiance of the place. Definitely check this spot out if you're in the area.
