Nestled in the heart of Oklahoma City's vibrant Asian dining scene, Pho Cuong Restaurant stands out as a must-visit destination for lovers of authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Specializing in traditional pho alongside a diverse Southeast Asian menu, this cozy eatery delivers an immersive taste experience that keeps locals and visitors coming back for more.
From the moment you step inside, the inviting aroma of simmering broth—a delicate yet deeply fragrant blend of spices and slow-cooked beef bones—fills the air and instantly whets the appetite. Pho Cuong’s broth is a masterclass in balance: rich, nuanced, and never overpowering or greasy, as many diners have praised. Their signature Pho Sate offers a tantalizing kick with just the right amount of heat, while the classic Pho Tai and the succulent Grilled Pork Pho provide comforting options for all palates. For those seeking variety, menu highlights also include flavorful Shrimp Pho, hearty Beef Fried Rice, and a vibrant Chicken Ramen that has visitors raving.
The kitchen’s expertise extends beyond pho. The appetizers—such as crispy Cha Gio (fried egg rolls stuffed with ground pork and vegetables), fresh Goi Cuon spring rolls with shrimp and pork ham served alongside a rich peanut sauce, and golden Sui Cao fried chicken dumplings—are superb starters that awaken the senses. Don’t miss the indulgent Banh Cam, sesame-coated balls filled with sweet red bean paste, which offer a nostalgic and satisfying dessert experience.
The menu’s vermicelli “Bun” bowls are another highlight, skillfully combining textures and flavors—from the Bun Tom Thit Nuong with marinated grilled pork and shrimp to the Bun Ga Nuong Cha Gio, which pairs grilled chicken with crisp egg rolls. Each bite bursts with freshness and charm, completed by a touch of tangy herbs and crunchy bean sprouts that add life and balance.
Dining at Pho Cuong offers a casual yet warm atmosphere with attentive staff enhancing the experience. True to many small, family-run Vietnamese eateries, the ordering process involves selecting your meal at the counter after being seated, allowing you time to absorb the rich, aromatic culture unfolding around you. Patrons appreciate this no-fuss style, as it speeds service without sacrificing quality—perfect for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners.
Customers consistently highlight the genuine flavors and quality of ingredients, with one rave review calling it “consistently the best pho in town.” The fresh bean sprouts and perfectly cooked noodles absorb the broth like a culinary sponge, creating each spoonful to be more comforting than the last. Meanwhile, the attentive and friendly service paired with an authentic ambiance has earned Pho Cuong a loyal following.

Consistently the best pho in town! I get the #1. If you are new here, don’t expect your order to be taken at the table. They seat you and then you order/pay at the counter when you are ready.
Amazing, delicious pho! Very impressed that OKC has this level of pho. The broth has great depth of flavor without being overly sweet or oily. And the noodles really absorb the flavor well. The chili oil and meat were also great, and the bean sprout was fresh and crunchy. But yes you do get assigned a table first and look at the menu before ordering and prepaying at the counter. It can be a little confusing but it is also efficient and allows you to leave at your convenience rather than waiting for a busy waiter to come around with the bill.
Amazing food, wonderful staff, great atmosphere!! Delicious broths full of flavor! (beef stew on photo). Chicken ramen (not pictured) is out of this world! Highly recommend coming here. Don’t pass on this place! See you again when we come to OKC!
This place caught our attention as we were driving to a Walmart. We decided to give it a try the next day and glad we did. The pho was really good. They offer several bowl sizes, you’ll see the difference between a large and an Extra large (90 oz) in the photos. They have a fairly small dining area, but we didn’t have to wait to be seated and neither did any of the other people that showed up. You have to order at the counter and they bring your food out fairly quickly. I recommend this pho spot to anyone the enjoys a good bowl of soup and rice noodles.
Warning - This is a small business & locally owned.. you're gonna have to be a little patient if there is a wait. This place has been around for YEAAAARRRSS and their food is the reason why. You can smell it the pho broth being brewed from blocks away. The service is typical is a small asian business but it doesn't take away from the business itself. Look through the menu and go up to the front to order. The staff is really nice. Parking is liimited but it doesn't take away from the business.
The best pho in the city, highly recommend food is soothing to the soul and servers are so kind, they treat you like family
