The Entrance to Pho King Kitchen in Scottsdale AZ
*****UPDATE now closed for business but food truck is still open. ****Down in the forking busy part of South Scottsdale lives a very unusual restaurant that serves very unusual food. The name of this restaurant is Pho King Kitchen. Their concept of their unique kind of fusion cuisine started as a food truck that’s still in service today.
Pho King Food Truck
The Cuisine is sort of Asian Inspired and some of what they serve is rolled up in burritos. They also serve a variety of mostly non-traditional Vietnamese Style Pho, the day I was there. Flavors of Pho were something like Ginger Pork, Sriracha Chicken and I think BBQ Beef and maybe a few others. They also offered some appetizers, stir fry, and fun whimsey sounding Burrito Phorritos and Bahn Mi Burritos.
This is a very casual restaurant. You order at the counter and you pick up yourself at the “Pick Up Window.”
They offer an outdoor patio-
and have what looks like a full bar with more tables upstairs.
I decided to order a burrito phorrito with added chicken.
Burrito Phorrito with added Chicken
My very large burrito with filled with flavorful chicken, stir fried vegetables, rice, Sriracha Mayonnaise, a mild kimchi and cold pickled spicy hot cauliflower. It wasn’t what I was expecting but was surprisingly tasty.
My husband also went for a Burrito Phorrito but had his with added Brisket. The brisket was seasoned well and was tender and succulent but slightly oily on the inside.

As tasty as the Burrito Phorritos were the only downside was that the cold pickled cauliflower in the burritos did taste good but chilled them down too much. Also the pieces of cauliflower were quite large in spots.
We also shared two pot stickers. They were Sriracha Buffalo Chicken.
The filling was very flavorful, tasty and not too spicy but the deep fried crisp texture is very unusual for potstickers. The potstickers were also very small.
Your most likely not going to drive across town to dine here but if your in the mood for something different and your in town. You might want to give this place a try.
Pho King Kitchen is something Pho King Different.
*****UPDATE Brick and mortar restaurant is closed for business but Food Truck is still open.*****
