151 King St W, Kitchener, ON N2G 1A7, Canada
Ordered take out, pad Thai, a curry dish and pho. It was the best pho I’ve had from around this area! And the service was excellent. They were able to make the modifications to the dishes we required. Would definitely try again! Easy to order and pick up.
I have ordered from here before and liked it but this takeout order was horrendous. No flavour, soupy stir-fry with three pieces of broccoli. The beef looked like pet food. The crispy noodles were at bottom of paper bag.
My always go to KW Vietnam food place. Every single menu are good. I have been here A LOT. 10/10, highly recommended! Not a place with fancy interior, but their food makes everything up. I don't think you can find a place like this in KW anymore. These days when you only have $15, you can't really buy good food. But this place still remains price reasonably with wonderful taste and great amount of meat. And their food in general has a very generous portion. And they offer you welcome tea (I was really surprised of $3.99 Jasmin tea when I went to other vitman place) and when you pay you can grab a small chocolate. I just want to say, thank you so much for the food and service to the server and chefs. You really made my day all the time when I was a broke student ! I really hope they do Banh xeo agian tho. I always wanted to try it, and I was so happy when I saw Banh Xeo in the menu, but they don't make it anymore... Menu and price is there.
The server was so so friendly, which made our experience so nice, we are from montreal! The food was prepped quickly, and the tea was super relaxing. Food was incredible, i had the vermicelli and the spring rolls, had the best appetizing smell ever. The pho was enjoyed by my whole family!
My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in KW. The service is so friendly and the food is amazing! Been here 3 times and ordered different dishes each time, and all 3 were delicious. I'd highly recommend their pho, the broth is rich but not overly salty. Their grilled pork on steamed rice is very savoury and filling. My favourite has to be their fried pork spring rolls, and that's coming from a person who doesn't like spring rolls in general. Overall highly recommend!
Great service and even better food. Very flavourful and great use of fresh vegetables. I am a repeat customer because the food is amazing. IMO loses one star for dine in atmosphere/vibe though.
DNK was busy tonight because of the Christmas market, but the server was excellent and kept us in the loop about everything, and worked hard serving the tables basically on his own. He recommended the vegetarian pad Thai and it was amazing. My partner had the pork vermicelli and loved it. We used to live in Vietnam and this place definitely hits the spot!
First time trying Pho and it was delicious! The fresh shrimp roll appetizer was also really refreshing and tasted so good. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was very big and not too busy. Will definitely go again and try new things!
Asked for extra sauce - this is pathetic. Don t order from here, you d be better off getting $1 ramen
Too good food and not too expensive.
The food is delicious and the owner is a very handsome man
really phocking good pho
Fairly simple place.
My favourite place for pho! delicious and their fresh spring roles are very tasty
Great family ran business
Better than pho ben.
Order Pho here all the time and it s amazing!
The pho was great, the price was right! An unassuming place and a bit dry in terms of atmosphere perfect for a satisfying and affordable lunch!
Very welcoming staff & a environment that puts you at ease, great food on top of it! Would strongly recommend checking this place out.
been here many times but the quality has sure gone down a lot! last time i was here it wasn t great. barely any meat in the food dishes anymore, mostly just filled with noodles or rice. bland flavour. price increase which i understand with inflation but it seems like less food than before and barely any meat on the chicken and beef dishes! paying 18/20 bucks plus tax for a pile of bland noodles, 2 tiny pieces of meat and rice with some veggies on top is absurd you guys used to be so great though </3
Ive been a regular at this restaurant since 2014 since highschool when my buddies introduced me to this place. Over the years this was still my go to restaurant when I want pho in the hometown that I grew up in, Kitchener. After high school I would travel a lot across the province and every time I came back to Kitchener, I couldn t wait to get a bowl of this pho. I recently moved far away at the end of 2023 and Im writing this now because not a week goes by where I dont think about the food at this restaurant compared to where I live now. This will be one of those restaurants that ties me back to fond memories in Kitchener. It s located in a very convenient place where I can meet up with my friends and grab a bite. And the food is to die for. This restaurant has my favorite pho where the broth just warms my soul. and this place also has my favorite spring rolls and sauce, and I can never find spring rolls as good as the ones here. The service is always good, and the waiting time is exceptional. I could never go wrong with this spot and my friends all love it too. This is a cheers to one of my favourite gems in Kitchener that I will always recommend and they deserve the 5-star from me which is long overdue. Cheers
The best pho in KW! Love this place and it has become a central lunch meeting spot for me with old friends, colleagues often. Pho Ga is my go to!
Wow! The broth was so good and flavourful. And a good amount of meat too! The cherry on top was how wonderful and nice the gentleman who helped us today was. There was a mishap with DoorDash and he took care of everything 100%! These guys truly value customer service and we cant wait to be back.
Great food and service
Good food at a great price.
Not authentic Vietnamese food no spices no flavour
Been coming here for years because I love their pho and spring rolls! Even with the construction downtown and the fact that I live on the other side of Kitchener, I still come here.
Your pho is fine, your spring rolls need improvement. Location good.Otherwise average
Fast service and tasty Vietnamese food, would definitely come back!
Service was great!
good for the price. the pad thai is way too salty and sweet though
BUGS IN OUR FOOD, do not order from here ...
Great food at a great price. The service at DNK Pho is great and very friendly.
Skip order:I would add a picture, but I couldnt stop eating the food. Firstly, we have an allergy concern. A minute after we order, the restaurant calls us to double check about the allergy. This was why they got 5 stars for service. It was above and beyond. Secondly, the restaurant was almost closed *we didnt know it was* and they still sent food that arrived piping hot. Thirdly the prices are so reasonable! Finally, the food was absolutely delicious. I got their chicken Pad Tai *spicy*, and it had a light kick of spice with an amazing aroma. My fiance got the pho delux beef, and it was stellar! We will be ordering in again for sure. We may even go as a date. Vegetarian options: You can get vegetarian options on pretty much everything Dietary restrictions: Mentioned what was gluten free
Had to change my rating with this establishment as I have tried many attempts to eat here again and they are always conveniently closing up shop WAY BEFORE their hours of operation.
Yummy and large portions for their beef noodles, delivery arrived quick and hot!!
We ordered by Uber eats. It was delicious and very fresh. I recommend the deep fried won tons.
Amazing food. 187 is literally the best stir fry ive ever had. You must try this if you are in the area!!
In the few times I ve been, Pho DNK has always been a great meal at an excellent price. I ve had the pho each time (consistently excellent, large portion, only $12), while my friends have had various rice, pork, vermicelli, and other noodles dishes (all great and $12-15). Overall, my favourite DTK pho restaurant, will be returning.
Great! Kid-friendliness: Great food! Food : 5/5 |
i could never go wrong. all of the food on their menu are really good! Recommended dishes
So came here twice now (forgot to leave a review the first time). First time had the pork and rice, and man the portions was just top notch amount. I compare everything to the overly rated/mediocre Ben Thanh in Cambridge, and this place knocks it out of the park by a long shot. I just had the pho rare beef/tripe, some of my friends fried rice. All very good. That fried rice was deeeeeeelicious. I recommend all my homies who see this review to go here! If youre in Cambridge, a 20 minute ride to this place is worth it!
Pho DNK has consistently very fresh take out and always accommodating of any food allergies! Their ph us more on the spice flavour and is less fatty than other places. Its the perfect bowl for a cold day or if you are feeling unwell.
Uber eat, order to the job site, no spoon, forks, chopsticks, napkin, how can i eat??!!
1. 8. 7. Order this.
Delicious food and very friendly, quick service!
Great food and great service! Vegetarian options: My vegetarian friend chose this location specifically for their large selection Kid-friendliness: They were super friendly and accommodating with my baby
Noodles / stir fry was underwhelming, but the pho was just off. The flavours were strange in the broth, the toppings were meh . Better overall food at Pho Dau and MUCH better pho at Pho Vietnam K&W.
Great food, good service
Had the chicken, beef & shrimp Pad Thai. Got it spicy and it actually had great heat and flavour. Fresh and deep fried spring rolls were also great.
The soup is so delicious
Love this place when Im craving pho - food is amazing. Some dishes Ive ordered include Pho, Vermicelli, Fresh Rolls, Ho Fun, Stir Fry, Wonton Soup, Pad Thai. All are great.
Fantastic food for a fantastic price. Truly an experience for your tongues sensations. Staff is amazing as well. Will be back again
Delicious and good portion sizes Very good bang for your buck Food
Had a high expectation due to the good reviews but the amount of veggies were so small in the vermicelli and the rice rolls were open as shown in the pics so it was difficult&messy to eat. Taste was mediocre.
Amazing food. The Pho was so good -one of the best I ve had! Everything else definitely exceeded expectations and We ll definitely be eating here again!
The sweetest staff who take great care of us. We love their spring rolls and #73 with dry noods in particular!
The pho is decent but has a lot of MSG flavour. It was disappointing to pay $9 for 8 wings and receive something that did not look like the picture. We received miniature flats and drums instead of full wings.
#56 is perfect. Taste amazing and huge portions and only $12. Will return soon!
Beauty spot to eat! Great flavour and server was very friendly. We will return
Im never disappointed by my meal, which is always fresh, or by the service.
It was quite for Saturday evening which was surprising because the food is excellent and service is excellent. Vegetarian options: There are enough vegetarian options
I am chronically addicted to their chicken soup. Please send help
The food was sooo tasty. I ordered the curry chicken and it was very flavorful. It was simple and I didnt feel overly full or bloated. My wife ordered the Chicken Pho and the broth was very flavorful. We did find it a tad bit pricey considering the restaurant looked older but maybe coz it was downtown Kitchener and Covid. Still would rate it 5stars
Love their pork fried rice and spring rolls! Id highly recommend trying it. Great portions as well!
Was not inside walked by there
Food was great, but I didnt get my rolls till after I had finished my pho
Awesome service and they can make the pho gluten free!
Awesome taste and awesome portions. One of the best Pho/Thai places in the KW area
My order must have been someone elses.. but I ate it.. I was starving
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Wheelchair accessibility: Main floor entrance, easily accessible
Extremely clean restaurant with fast friendly service. Reasonably priced menu.
I had the special curry with beef and WOW it was magical. 10/10 the best meal I ve ever had. I would recommend it to anyone stopping by
amazing beef satay soup!!
Ordered a pho with beef and meatballs. Overall the bowl was pretty good. Soup had good flavour and it hits the spot when youre craving pho
A great asian crusine and great place
Food was fantastic, service was great. Really enjoyed eating here and will return in the future.
Quiet family place, good food, good service at a fair price.
This is my favourite vietnamese place in downtown kitchener for their bún ch . The bún ch is excellent, really big portion size, and very affordable!
I have a very severe seafood allergy and I always triple check my orders before my food arrives because I ve had a few very close calls. I called to check my order and they were very friendly and accommodating to my dietary needs and were patient with me. The food also slaps so that s dope too.
Great food, decent price, quiet atmosphere. Portions are generous!
Great good, fast, fresh.
We ordered UberEats delivery for lunch Sat. Jan. 30 and had a fantastic experience. The food was fresh, hot and delivered quickly. We ordered chicken wings, Imperial rolls, pork and spring roll vermicelli, the curry noodle and a shrimp pad Thai. The chicken wings and vermicelli were our favourites. Everything was well prepared and really flavourful. Next time we ll do pick up! They re a small, family-run biz and every bit helps right now.
Ordered from here a few days ago, but overall I was very impressed! Serving sizes were great, the packaging of food for delivery was done with care, and overall I was very pleased with the food. I would definitely recommend - spring rolls are pretty good too!
Its amazing place, they take great pride in their food and they put so much love into every dish they make. They always bending over backwards with my orders Im very picky and they make sure everything is on point. The whole family is amazing.
Love this place- they are fast, consistent, and have fair prices!
The shrimp roll does not have mint leaves at all, ad the shrimp is not fresh at all! I ordered chciken pad thai too and it was tasteless. I rarelly see pad thai that looks pale....will never order again.
Note their Spring Rolls are not suitable for Muslims as they have PORK and is not labelled on the menu. Called them to ask them to update the menu and was told that is Uber Eats problem not theirs. Great customer service *eye roll
My go-to place for Pho in Waterloo Region. Theyve got a great menu that offers vegetarian pho & pad thai which is awesome! All of their food is just so good. Theyve also been great at following procedure for Covid19 precautions and the staff there are always friendly and welcoming.
Good food
Ordered beef vermicelli and shrimp rolls through Uber eats, both are amazing. Thank you!!
Havent even finished my meal, took a first few bites and killed a spring roll and HAD to rate! So yummy and fresh! A new fav spot for me!
Very delicious Vietnamese food, reasonably priced. We eat here all the time and would most surely recommend it!
Good food and kind staffs
I ordered Shrimp Noodles and Satay Soup from this restaurant today. Absolutely delicious! All the ingredients were fresh and the dishes were made with lots of care. We asked the chef to make our food extra spicy and the chef did just that without taking away from the dishes real flavour. We will order again from this restaurant!
fast and friendly service. got the rare beef pho, chicken pad Thai, and fried pork spring rolls. everything was great and portions were perfect.
Best pho I ve ever had! I am very impressed by this place. I got rear beef pho soup and fresh rolls for Uber delivery and had a great dinner at home. Very generous portions (I have soup left for tomorrow), nicely packed and also sooo fresh and delicious. Definitely my go to for Vietnamese now! Wow
The broth for my rare beef brisket pho was alright, however, the beef came well done, not rare, and the noodles were wide and hard, lacking the elasticity of typical Pho soups. The spring rolls were edible, but the interior was unidentifiable.. couldnt taste the shrimp or taro. Overall, my daughter and I were disappointed as this is a new restaurant for us ordered from DoorDash.
Good food, good food, good food, please prosper~~~~~!!!!!!!* * Absolutely good service Good service great taste
Best menu..i forgot the order# Description:eggnoodles.wonton. Broccoli.BarBQ Beef..this bowl of soup can feed 2people.alot of quantity
The absolute best Pho Satay soup in the city! Friendly service and great prices too. Always clean and service is always swift even when they are busy. My boyfriend and I eat here all the time. I definitely recommend!
It is amazing, and really worth to try.
Nice place to eat with friends!
Didnt get over half of what I ordered. Food was bland. Wont come here again.
I really love this place. Its a go-to for my wife and I when we want good pho or any Viet cuisine. Love it. Try the Satay pho. One suggestion: Maybe play some music. Silence takes away from the energy and atmosphere. You feel like youre slurps are 100x more loud.
If you are looking for the best soups. This is by far delicious and healthy
Delicious food, generous portions, nice price, clean location and great service :)
Place seemed a bit understaffed. Specially during busy lunch time
Placed our lunch order, sat around for 40 minutes waiting for our food to arrive. Other people arrived and had their food. Eventually we pulled someone aside to ask when our food would be arriving. They said theyd look into it. 5 minutes later the same person comes by to ask if we have ordered. Needless to say we left. They offered nothing but a verbal sorry as we walked out the door.
Awesome ma & pa, hole in the wall kind of place.
Great friendly, quick service. Food was very tasty.
Affordable and good. Hard to beat this place!
Food was excellent! Service was fast and efficient.
They under cooked the noodles in my pad Thai. And the curry chicken noodle dish was too salty. Wouldn t go back unfortunately.
2 stars for the pricing. The pho(I ordered #30) is pretty bad, as some other reviewers mentioned already, the broth had a funky smell/taste with a fishy hint to it. I personally visited many pho restaurants before, and Pho DNK is the first one that serves such broth, which in my opinion is terrible. The beef I got in the pho was very dry too. People who want pho in DNK should just go for Pho Dau Bo instead. Really surprised to see it has such high rating of 4.3, if you think the pho is good here, you should seriously at least try Pho Ben Thanh and Pho Dau Bo.
Been going here for years. Love the bubble tea and Pad Thai. Service is friendly and food is great. Great place to come with a group or grab a quick bite alone. Price is reasonable too.
A decent Vietnamese place. Big restaurant with ample seating, relatively fast making it a good lunch spot, and all the soup bowls are huge and packed full of food. Is it the best Vietnamese youll ever have in your life? No, absolutely not, but it gets the job done.
This is absolutely one of my favorite Pho places in Waterloo region. I love their food, the price is great and the service is always speedy.
Delicious food and very kind and polite staff! Perfect for a meal during lunch hours at work
I called for a bowl of vermicelli noodles with shrimp and pork with also a spring roll the lady said that would be 54 so i said ok i ordered it and went to go pick it up i ate the noodles tasted like couple days old noodles with 5 little shrimps in it with no pork at all with 3 small spring rolls they charge you 9 dollars for it. Very disappointed
Food was very delicious and not to mention affordable for their portion size! I honestly recommend this place to anyone. Yum
I like the amount of food you get for the price. The large 11 dollar pho bowl is massive.
Tasty and fresh rolls, good pho - bit pricy
Delicious food for a good price and lots of seating.
Consistent, great brisket pho and spring rolls. Quick service. Recommended if you want a quick pho.
It is located in the heart of downtown Kitchener. Prompt and hardworking individuals, fast and good price lunch place. I typically go for the vermicelli bowl or pho with custom requests. Consistently good.
Delicious and fast lunch. Staff are always wonderful
Fairly priced. Quality food and decent portion. Had their chicken stir fry and rice.
Very delicious and authentic Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Kitchener. Prices are fair and affordable (about $11/bowl depending on what you order). Portion size is large but not massive. Highly recommend this local restaurant in downtown Kitchener City Hall to anyone who likes Vietnamese food. I would certainly come back again.
Really great place to grab a quick lunch. Convenient location, awesome broth, and the prices are fair! The employees are very nice :) Compared to a few other pho spots in the Kitchener area, the portion is a tad on the smaller side, but still very good value and the taste is great.
Very delicious and reason price too. We will come again.
Fresh shrimp roll w peanut sauce, is always fresh, the seasonal egg dish is my favorite when its available
Great Vietnamese food
Fast service. FAAAASSST service. Good food, free of pretensions. Where to go for lunch when you dont want to line up or deal with any of the BS of the popular establishments.You may even see famous local DJs while youre there.
Very tasty food, good service, and great value
Came with a friend for dinner. Service was super quick - ordered fresh shrimp rolls for an appetizers and came in about 5 minutes. Lots of peanut satay sauce to go with it, rolls were tasty and fresh. Ordered pho with rare beef and brisket and came in under 10 mins. Broth had a great flavour but not too salty. Lots of bean sprouts and basil to go with it! Would go again
Very Yummy! My only concern was the food arrived at different times.
As someone who grew up eating Vietnamese cuisine I can say that Pho DNK has great authentic Vietnamese food
The best!!! Such great food, really great staff!!
Food is great, theres never a long wait for it, and staff are very nice!
Great place for Pad Thai and a large variety of other southeast Asian dishes
Good restaurant for basic Viet and Thai food, but doesnt have great flavour. Avoid coming here for workday lunch. Theres usually only 1 or 2 people seating guests and running food and taking payment, etc. Service is okay, but could always use improvement.
Pho ga had very chicken, 10.75$ for a chicken soup with the nowhere near enough chicken is a terrible deal. This os what i get for cheating on Ben
Pho is really good and service is great!
Affordable and food is above average.
Sub par quality and portion compared to other pho restaurants in area. Got the vermicelli with spring roll and pork. Consisted of a small spring roll (which looked a lot like it came out of a box of pre made ones you buy at a grocers) cut into pieces and scattered on some lettuce, with a small portion of noodles. Not good value for money.
Convenient location downtown across from Kitchener City Hall we stopped by Pho DNK after visiting the Christmas market. Good service and clean restaurant. The pho was phantastic. Would definitely recommend, especially on a chilly day.
Cant go wrong with good ol pho
Awesome for the price.
Delicious Pho. One of the best spots in KW. Great value with lots of options on the menu for warming up on a cold day. Parking is a bit tricky being located right across from City Hall in downtown Kitchener.
Delicious food, huge meal portions! I really enjoyed my tofu pho bowl!
Great little place to eat, the prices are fair for what youre getting, and it tasted delicious. I would definitely come here again. There wasnt many patrons here when we showed up late on a weekday evening. The service was friendly, and the food tasty, not much more to ask for.
A local family owned restaurant right in downtown Kitchener. The restaurant is pretty clean and well kept.The restaurant rarely gets busy so food is very quick. The pho broth is smooth and not as oily as other places. Although the food is good, it is mediocre compared to larger pho chains.
Not the best food, can use a bit more flavor. They no longer offer special Pho . Staff is not always friendly.
The food here is pho king super tasty
