Pho Chef was a great surprise. We tried the pho, vermicelli combo, appetizer sampler, and meatballs, and everything was beyond tasty. The flavors were on point, fresh, and clearly made with care. Portions are generous, a bit more than we usually eat, but honestly that’s a plus and great value for the price. This place feels underrated for how good the food is. Highly recommend if you’re in Columbus, and we’ll definitely be back.

Pho Chef was AMAZING! They were very attentive to my food allergen questions and made me feel safe about eating my meal. The food was delicious! Very reasonable price for the portion size. I can’t wait to come back for another bowl of pho!

Fantastic spot for Pho! The restaurant is very clean and modern inside, the menus are large and easy to read. There was a satisfying option for everyone in my group—of 3, including vegan Pho. Service was fast and super friendly & professional.

Went to Pho Chef yesterday and I was not disappointed at all. The host was incredibly nice and so friendly , honestly one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had. I wish I got her name because she was amazing!

We ordered the beef stewed rice noodle, and it was absolutely delicious , flavorful with just the right amount of spice. No complaints whatsoever. This is the best place I’ve been to for pho in Columbus.

I definitely recommend it and will absolutely be returning!

The food here is good and the service is excellent and attentive. The atmosphere is rather utilitarian but overall fine. We got spring rolls and the peanut sauce was great burning there was a little too much lettuce in the rolls and a little less tofu/shrimp than we were hoping for. The mains were good and the pricing was fair.

Returned May 2025. Service good and tried the beef soup and a noodle dish, would recommend both.

Pho Chef – 1186 Kenny Centre Mall, Columbus, OH

Quick Summary for First-Timers:
• Dishes ordered:
– S7 Curry Chicken Rice Noodles – $13
– B1 Grilled Pork Sandwich – $7.50
• Parking: Free lot
• Noise level: Low
• Wait time: ~10 min
• Kid-friendly: Yes
• Vegetarian options: Available
• Wheelchair accessible: Yes
• Ordering: Kiosk and counter; delivery via DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Chowbus

My Take:
This is a solid casual option if you’re local to the area and want something technically pho-adjacent, affordable, and easy. The staff is kind and helpful — great with first-timers or anyone who needs help understanding the menu. It’s a good choice for kids, picky eaters, or someone who thinks spicy chipotle ranch is adventurous.

That said, I personally wouldn’t return. The drive was long, and I know there are more flavorful options in Columbus within the same price range (or slightly higher, which I’d gladly pay).



What I Ordered:

B1 Grilled Pork Sandwich – Fresh veggies on top, thin but seasoned pork.
Downside: Bread was cold and flavorless, and the sauce was oddly sweet — gave off hibachi yum yum energy that didn’t fit. I wouldn’t order again.

S7 Curry Chicken Rice Noodles – The better of the two.
The broth was curry-forward, like a pho/ramen/Indian hybrid. Real chicken breast, solid heat level, and served hot. Noodles were a little overcooked (think childhood Maruchan flashbacks), and the jalapeños looked like someone chopped them without love — but it was flavorful and comforting. Wouldn’t reorder, but glad I took the risk. It was more interesting than any of the safer options likely would’ve been.



The Space:
Clean interior with booths, a claw machine, self-serve sauces, and plenty of signage. Digital ordering is available, and you’ll see multiple delivery services posted at the door.



Final Thoughts:
Not the Pho Chef I thought I was headed to (my cousin’s rec was clearly another location), but it worked for what it was. If you’re nearby and want something warm, cheap, and easy — it’s worth trying once. If you’re after bold flavor or variety, keep driving.

Got takeout. The pho noodles were refrigerator cold and made the soup cold. If I wanted to cook at home, I wouldn’t have gotten takeout. The banh mi had dry meat like it’d been sitting, had practically no veggies, and the bread was like jersey mikes and not crusty but flat and dense; it was very Americanized. Their food was shameful.

Had to buy something from Belle’s Bakery next door and saw a new pho restaurant so had to give it a go. I ordered a Spicy Filet Steak Soup with Rice Noodle. They actually made the broth spicy which is a definite plus. My folks ordered a Special Combination Pho and they enjoyed it too. Surprisingly this restaurant had great food for a chain restaurant as I saw one nearby. Definitely come back to Kenny Centre as it already contains Kung Fu Tea, Belle’s Bakery, and a Japanese market.

This restaurant is a gem. There are many options for Pho, Vermicelli and Rice plates. There are options for Vegetarian for both Appetizers and entrees. Food was delicious and portion was generous. Definitely will come back to try other entrees.

Usually go to the one on Granville rd but was eagerly waiting for the on Kenny to finally open! I finally dined there and it was great! Definitely some noticeable changes from the bowl sizes to the prices. Nevertheless it was still a great experience as the server was kind and attentive. I got the S16 and my wife had the normal phone bowl. The broth was fantastic! The food came out almost instantly! I was very pleased with the server knowing it was really spicy and asking if I wanted it adjusted! The restaurant was extremely clean and the music was great and not too loud. 100% recommend
