About This Place

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Katy, TX, PHO K brings an authentic slice of Vietnamese culinary tradition to your table, specializing in rich, flavorful pho and a variety of classic dishes that are sure to satisfy any craving. This cozy Vietnamese restaurant perfectly balances a welcoming atmosphere with an expertly curated menu, making it a beloved spot for locals and pho enthusiasts alike.

PHO K’s menu offers a delightful range of Vietnamese favorites, each crafted with care and bursting with fresh, aromatic ingredients. One cannot miss their signature Pho DAC Biet, a sumptuous special beef pho that boasts a fragrant, slow-simmered broth, silky rice noodles, and tender, melt-in-your-mouth slices of meat. Customers rave about the broth’s depth and perfectly balanced spices—many, like reviewer M T, have been moved to savor every last drop, citing it as reminiscent of authentic pho in Vietnam.

For those who enjoy diverse textures and flavors, the Banh Uot DAC Biet offers a unique experience with its delicate steamed rice rolls enveloping savory ground pork, shrimp tempura, and Vietnamese ham, accompanied by the subtle crunch of fresh cucumber and fragrant basil—all brought together by a tangy fish sauce dip. The Bún Bò Huế, a spicy vermicelli bowl with shank and brisket beef, delivers a fiery kick that excites the palate, perfect for diners seeking a bold, lively flavor profile.

Beyond these highlights, the menu includes fresh spring rolls stuffed with shrimp and pork, tender BBQ pork served alongside fluffy white rice, and delightful vermicelli bowls topped with crispy egg rolls and a medley of herbs and vegetables. The restaurant also caters to vegan diners and has kid-friendly options, ensuring everyone can find something to enjoy.

PHO K’s ambiance complements its food perfectly. The intimate space exudes warmth and charm, a neat mom-and-pop vibe that invites guests to relax and savor each bite in a peaceful setting. Attentive and friendly staff add to the experience, offering helpful recommendations and attentive service that make every visit memorable, as noted by frequent visitor Kelly Murillo Aleman.

Spice lovers will appreciate the C12 Spicy Special Pho, which layers heat with fragrant, almost curry-like notes and a satisfying crunch of peanuts. As customer G Knight shares, dialing up the spice level here is highly rewarding, with the extra chili sauce providing the perfect kick. Such nuanced flavors make each bowl a comforting yet exciting adventure.

In short, PHO K isn’t just a place to eat—it is a culinary journey through Vietnam’s rich flavors, brought to life with authenticity and passion. Whether you’re craving a classic bowl of pho, a hearty vermicelli dish, or delicate steamed rice rolls, PHO K promises an unforgettable dining experience that keeps guests coming back again and again, as happily testified by Javi Aparicio, who found himself returning multiple times within a week.

If you’re in Katy and longing for a genuine Vietnamese meal crafted with care and bursting with flavor, PHO K is the spot where warm hospitality meets exceptional cuisine, making every meal a joyful celebration of taste and tradition.

    Wow I rarely drink all of the pho broth but I def did at this place!! The meat was soft and not smelly, the pho was exactly the right spice and flavor. They have vegan options too. It reminded me of pho I ate in Vietnam

    Since I moved here I have always liked trying different Vietnamese restaurants to find the best pho. I have tried many places, but funny enough I never tried the one closest to my house until now. This place is a mom and pop shop, warm and cozy inside. The menu has a good amount of options, not too big and not too small, so it does not feel overwhelming. I planned to order pho, but when I saw they had Banh Cuon which is one of my favorite dishes, I knew I had to try it. We ordered: • Brisket Pho (Pho Chin): The broth was very flavorful and steaming hot, which we loved. We ordered extra brisket on the side, but honestly the bowl already came with a lot of meat. • Steam Rice Rolls Special (Banh Cuon Dac Biet): A full plate with everything including regular ham, fried cinnamon ham, fried shrimp cake, fermented pork, and steamed veggies. The plate was huge, I could not finish it and took the rest home. Basically another meal for later. • Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls: Big rolls, simple but classic. The peanut sauce was thick and tasty. • Vietnamese Coffee (Ca Phe Sua Da): It was decent, more on the milky side. I prefer mine thicker and stronger, but it was still good. Overall everything was amazing. I wish I tried this place earlier instead of searching everywhere else for good pho. Service was great, they made sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely come back many more times.

    Great place to get lunch or dinner, staff was very nice and helpful. The food was awesome. I ended up trying the spicy pho and was not disappointed. It was not like your usual pho had almost a curry flavor, and the peanuts added a great addition to the flavor. I ended up getting a level 3 spice. I would go up next time the extra chili sauce they gave me was just what I needed and a great flavor.
