Xiong Pho N Seafood

OMG this is by far the best place ever until someone tell me different. They’re phở, egg rolls and salt/​pepper shrimp is simply breathtaking and pleasing to the palate. You must stop here, if you don’t, you’ll be missing out on a life changing experience STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW AND GOOOOOOOOOOO. You will not regret it.

LOVE this place. Been coming here for years. I’m obsessed with the stir fry shrimp which comes with broccoli and white rice. It’s out of this world good. Of course the Phở is amazing, large portions and reasonable at that. I would recommend the fried calamari as well! Always good and fresh. Salt and pepper shrimp is phenominal. You can choose spice rating from 1 – 5. I always say no spice because im a baby but the flavors are still vibrant without it! Place gets pretty packed around lunch, with good reason! Don’t forget to order a thai tea with your meal, its amazing. And last but not least the service is always great! Local eatery at its best

I won’t spend my money at a restaurant unless it has good reviews. I drove 45 min to get there, and waited for a table for about an hour. It was around 2pm on Sunday, so they were very busy. The building is very very small and only seats about 50 max at a time. They don’t take reservations, and there’s no where to sit while you wait. It’s a small mom and pop type of restaurant, nothing fancy. But the smell when you walk in is amazing, and you know everything is going to be authentic and fresh! We received our food fast, MAKE SURE YOU ORDER SPRING ROLLS & CALAMARI they are to die for. Everything else was… okay. After review in all the Unilocal reviews I thought it was going to be AMAZING, but I didn’t think it was that great. The service was great, I’d probably give it another chance on a not so busy day.

Hole in the wall place with a lot of people waiting to eat here. There was a waiting list when we came. The place is dirty and old but we enjoyed the food. Salt and pepper calamari and chicken wings, chicken and broccoli, Thai tea, and the three colors dessert. Service was friendly too.

Had their phở today, it was decent but i have to say it has a ton of MSG! it made my tummy hurt all day. Their calamari was over fried and was hard not crispy like its suppose to be. phở kings tastes alot better. food is a tad bit over priced. service was okay, they have atleast 4 servers & none of them refilled my water or my bf soda not once. overall am i gonna return to this place? Maybe or maybe not. There are definitly more other phở places in town worth trying

I placed an order to go and they said it would take 20 – 25 min to be ready. So it literally takes 15 min extra to get my food. To top things off the food wasn’t hot, it wasn’t even luke warm. I would not waste my money there again.

You can never go wrong ordering the beef phở, spicy salt and pepper shrimp, spicy calamari and/​or fries. My kids and I crave this every week and I’m happy to oblige them. This place is all about the food. Don’t go there if you need a pretty building in a high end location. The place is not great looking, but I sure don’t need that stuff to enjoy great food. The staff is always busy due to the big crowds, but they are always friendly.

Although this place doesn’t compare to some of my favorite places in San Diego or LA, this is definitely the best phở I’ve had so far in the Central Valley. As a resident of Lemoore, this place is worth the 30 minute drive.
The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because I was not satisfied with the spring rolls.
1. The amount of cilantro that was put in them was overwhelming.
2. If I asked for no meat in my spring rolls I expect no meat but nonetheless it was ok.
Other than that, food and service was great.

Amazing good!!! Staff super friendly !!! The truly definition of a hole in the wall. Long wait, you have to sign in to be seated. Yes is that good!!! I’ll do it again!!! I’ll wait!!! Shhhh gooooooodddddd… And they got seasonal seafood! Whole fried fish in different sauce!!! Duck!!! And frog legs!!! Plus all the typical Thai/​Viet fusion!!! Bottom line food is the star and truly shines through out the experience!

Delicious phở! In my opinion one of the best places to get it in town. Location is a bit sketchy but the food certainly makes up for that. Seafood and combonation phở is good. The stir fry shrimp with white rice is heavenly, I could eat that every day! Also the salt and pepper shrimp and the fried calamari! They rate spice 1 – 5, I often get a 3 and that is enough spice to make my eyes water which is exactly how I like it! Cool it down with a yummy Thai tea and you’re set

Everytime I’m driving past Visalia I must stop here for some phở and delicious seafood! Their calamari and shrimp are my favorites! Keep it up phở and seafood Visalia! Hopefully you guys open one in Fresno!

Not a fan of their phở at all, had better ones around town but I would agree. their calamari and salt and peppered shrimp are delicious. If you like coconut curry, ask for some on the side as a dipper. You won’t regret it

Please dust your front counter. I got grossed out when getting my food. The brown station with sauces is covered in dust and there are flyers from NOVEMBER still on the counter. Has no one touched the counter to clean it in that long?

I’ve had almost everything on the menu and now trying more as they have added some new items. Phở, salt n pepper shrimp, calamari and also the fries this style are all delicious! I was debating on giving 4 stars as i brought my whole family from out of town here to eat in and it was like an ice box! I was shocked at how cold it was in there everyone around us was shivering too and we all had to go out to get jackets and a small blanket for a child with us i’ve never felt it like that normally, but i’ve yet to make a review and i eat here OFTEN besides it being very busy at times and needing to wait or that they really need to do a little work inside with even just painting or a deep clean as my sister in law worked at a similar place back home and said she wanted to start scrubbing the place down while we were there… But i have never had a problem with my food or quality, so i definitely give the food 5 stars.
Would also like to suggest grouping orders totals or even taking payment over the phone for faster pick up when i call in an order so i can grab and go, i sometimes have to wait for all the lunch dine in’s to pay first when i get there so the wait can be a bit depending on how many people are there…

Great food — love the salt & pepper boneless chicken, calamari, papaya salad, eggrolls, and phở. Docked stars for long wait times, not just to sit but also to pay for a phone order, and overall inefficient way to run a business. They need to total the phone orders and group the orders for quicker service when picking up. Instead, what they do is fumble with menus to determine prices to punch in for totals and scramble to find the items for the order. Yes, this happens even after they tell you 20 min and you give them an extra 10 min because you know they’re slow. Overall, love the food and will put up with all this when I want the food.

The best phở we’ve had since moving to the Central Valley. Definitely as good as we’ve had in Los Angeles, San Diego, Honolulu, and in Asia. I didn’t consider the location to be in the ghetto. No guns, no drug deals, no thugs in the parking lot. The place is small so it was a bit of a wait, but the staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly! The prices were reasonable and the menu was much better than anything in Hanford. This will be our go to Phở and Calamari spot!

New update to say I love the new menu!!! The beef Larb is my new fav with a side of sticky rice, yummmmm! The multicolor tapioca dessert was
too. Delicious after a tasty bowl of phở :)

**Be warned the area where this place is located is very sketchy! The inside is not better either. It is in the ghetto.
That being said… The food is delicious!!!
Appetizer: mild calamari rings were great they were a little greasy but the breading was pleasantly light I was able to taste the squid itself. I enjoyed it over all
Entrée: phở: seafood/​fish balls, shrimp, fish filet. It was flavorful nothing was over powering and the noodles were soft and tender.
Over all: I would come back again definitely… for an order to go (because of the area) and the inside I would never eat in again. Everything about my meal was very good.

Best place ever! Excellent flavors, big portions and prices don’t hurt your wallet! Absolutely love this place! would recommend to anyone! Better than phone king

I come here often and never ever disappointed.
Hey look, back again. 4÷12÷15. I love the salt and pepper shrimp and seafood phở
