“The owner is so kind and sweet. Amazing at dishwashing. :) The food is so delicious, will be coming back more often. Love the Vermicelli salad with grilled pork!!”
“Really good quality food. Very quick, big portions, and the vegetables in the noodles tasted fresh. Will be coming back.”
“We stopped in for dinner and had the Pho and Pad See Ew, and both dishes were so delicious! The pho broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting, while the Pad See Ew was perfectly cooked with great flavor and both were generous portions. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and the service was excellent. We also had the pleasure of meeting Ming, who was incredibly kind and friendly. She made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to our dining experience. Everything came out fresh and hot, and it was clear that care goes into both the food and the customer experience. If you're looking for a great meal in Little Italy/University Village, MK Noodle is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back!”
“AMAZING!!! Food was so good and quick! Place looked really clean and the decorations on the walls are so cute. 10/10 would recommend and come again!!”
“The pho is among the most delicious I’ve had. I only wish the portions were bigger. You order at a tablet and it’s counter service. Return your utensils.”
“Great pho with all the topping combinations as options (ribeye steak, brisket, tripe, meatball), also has chicken or veggie topping. They also have the stir fry noodles and rice options. And the classic appetizers. The place looks family owned but they’re very fast with service. The restaurant is clean and neat. Very efficient to dine in or take out. They also have some fun classic drinks: viet coffee, Thai tea, fruit smoothies. Would definitely get this more often!”
“I had the pleasure of eating at MK Noodle, and it’s easily one of my top spots for Vietnamese food now. Everything tasted fresh, and you can really tell there’s care and quality put into each dish. I ordered the combo bánh mì, which is a classic and a must try here. The meat was flavorful and tender, while the veggies added a great contrast in texture. The bread was soft and fresh, which brought everything together perfectly. It's accompanied by some yummy crispy fires. I’d definitely order this again. I also tried the vermicelli noodles with pork and egg roll. The pork was seasoned really well and added great flavor to the noodles, especially when combined with the fresh veggies and the vinegar based sauce they provide. They also have chili oil at the table if you want to add some heat, which I did and it paired perfectly. The egg roll was crispy and delicious. The portion size is generous, so the bowl alone is very filling. Highly recommend trying a vermicelli bowl. To finish, I had the combo phở, and it did not disappoint. The broth was hot, rich, and full of flavor exactly the kind of comforting dish you want. If you’re in the area and craving something warm and satisfying, this is it. Overall, I’d give this place 5 stars. I’ve already recommended it to several people, and they’ve loved it too. Thank you for the amazing food, I’ll definitely be back soon.”
“The food was so flavorful! The vermicelli noodles were the perfect texture and the lemongrass pork was delicious. Super fast and friendly service.”
