Get the Pho Out will be located at 10 W. Stroop Road in the former space of W.g. Grinders in the Castle Hills Shopping Center across from Town & Country. Customers can expect a variety of pho such as chicken or beef with their choice of noodle. They can also choose their own spice level from 0 to 5.

“The taste and flavor is good, but it’s not 100 percent Vietnamese,” Kaewkheaw said.

The menu will also feature banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich served on a croissant with a special sauce made by Kaewkheaw’s mom. During lunch, customers can order a bento box featuring a smaller portion of the sandwich served with their choice of entree such as stir fry, fried rice or noodles and a spring roll.

Kaewkheaw is originally from Thailand. After studying kitchen and restaurant management, he took an internship in Marco Island, Florida.

Before coming to Dayton, he lived in St. Louis, Mo. He moved to the area because his aunt opened Massaman Thai Cuisine on Patterson Road in Dayton. He has worked for Sue Whitted, the owner of Thai Kitchen, Hello Thai and Thai Village, for the past four years. She has helped him with his restaurant.

Kaewkheaw will be working with his mom in the restaurant. She previously worked at a pho restaurant in Thailand.

If they can get the city of Kettering to do final inspections next week, he hopes to start a soft opening mid-January.
