    Sam S.

    Cute little restaurant. Pho as well as stir-fry and noodles. Clean inside and friendly service. Prices are decent. You order at the counter and take a number and are served at the table. The food tasted really good. We had the Garlic Butter shrimp and Lemongrass Chicken with fried rice. They also serve wine and beer. I will definitely eat there again.

    I have been interested in trying Pho since I've never had it before. I have to say I'm so glad I chose this place as my introduction! I ordered Pho from this restaurant on DoorDash and it came deconstructed, fresh and hot, which I appreciated! I got pho with chicken and the chicken/beef broth. The broth mixed with the herbaceous flavor of the mint and green onion was simply amazing. I don't know what took me so long to get hip to Pho but I'm a fan! This will definitely be on my go to spot list.

    Pho
    Sepideh S.

    Just moved to LB from OC which honestly changes you palate when it comes to Asian food. I was feeling a litlle under the weather so I ordered take out. The food was ready on time and the ingredients were fresh, but the pho was very mediocre. The meat was high quality but i could tell that the broth was alright. The price was cheaper compared to OC but it tasted more like soup than actual pho in my opinion.

    Chicken pho
    Lauren K.

    A decent spot for pho and noodles. I only ordered takeout so I cannot speak on the dine in experience! I wouldn't say it's super authentic or the best pho in town but it definitely helps with your cravings! I like the shaking beef garlic noodles though I think it's a bit greasy/salty and the noodles are too thin for garlic noodles. However still tasty! The chicken pho is decent but fairly bland. The eggrolls are good and crispy. Food: 6/10 Parking: 7/10 (street parking always available) Takeout: 8/10 (always fast for pickup) Environment: 8/10 (right in downtown, fun spot, dog friendly, outdoor and indoor seating available, never too busy)

    My Summer Rolls minus one of course ... this was so light and yummy

    Never have complaints... the girls are alway sweet and the food is always fresh. I don't come here often, but when I do get a chance, the flavors are always the exact same, nothing changes and that a bonus for me! There's plenty of seating in the restaurant and there's a bar and tv screens. Come check it out you won't regret it.

    Saigon salad with chicken
    Sue H.

    Lunch was just ok. This restaurant is modern and attractive with clean restrooms and friendly servers. I am just not a fan of their version of Vietnamese cuisine. My Saigon salad noodle bowl had giant shrimp chips on top, and lots of dark meat chicken. Unremarkable though. Husbands lemongrass chicken had lots of dark meat chicken and a big pile of rice. Filling but unmemorable. Many examples of this cuisine include some vegetables with this dish, but not here. No side salad, no fish sauce vinaigrette for dunking. Don't think we'll be back, unless nothing else is open.

    Not the best vermicelli. We got the pho and the chicken vermicelli and both were subpar... unsure if they were even using the correct noodles. Fish sauce was not fishy enough. Pho broth was... alright, but it wasn't authentic, not enough spices or beef flavor. I think it's good for convenience, staff is also very friendly, but that's about it.

    Pho with tendon
    Debbie W.

    Order Pho with beef tendon and the protein was all fat, slimmy and disgusting. Tendon at other Pho restaurants is not like this. More fat than meat.

    The pho bowl with brisket and rare flank
    Chris Y.

    I'm a big pho fan! This place has many options to enjoy. When you walk in just look to the right and walk right over and order. With the pho you get 3 protein choices and I opted for one brisket and two helpings of rare flank and it was worth it!! Then when you get your number you'll get to enjoy a huge selection of seating The portions are amazing!!! I loved the flavor and how filling it was! Great seating and cheap parking available.

    This is how hard the beef is.

    This is how hard the beef is. The price was decent. Very affordable place. Do not order the popcorn chicken tho.

    Banh Mi
    Yuri J.

    Viet food with a twist! A cute spot in Long Beach for your Viet food cravings. The vermicelli rolls are delicious , stuffed with lemongrass pork and comes with a fish/peanut sauce that is quite refreshing and flavorful! It's a cool and fun concept to customize your own pho - the broth is warm and a lil sweet. The lemongrass pork plate was perfect with a fried egg and the fish sauce & salad. My fav was the pork banh mi - superrrr flavorful and filling. Food was overall on the sweeter side.

    Mango Green tea + fresh lychee pieces
    Maddy M.

    My boyfriend and I used to frequent this location quite often, it was super convenient due to the distance to where we would meet after work and the food is really great. Recently we stopped coming here due to the staff refusing service or rushing guests as it gets close to their closing hour. I work in the service industry myself and know even the final sales before closing are pretty important to small businesses. Considering how many employees they have on the clock (always 3 in BOH and at least 3 in FOH) I'm sure labor needs to be made up for with some sales as it is never busy when we have dined in here. We always spend $50 minimum + tip generously, so this last visit we decided we would not bring this location our business. The last 3 visits felt very rushed and uncomfortable, we ended up asking for to-go containers every single time so we could finish our food outside in our car instead of enjoying the dine in experience during the final business hours. One of the cashiers told me they do not get paid if they are still there past the closing hour. This is illegal, so management should look into labor laws and provide staff with enough time after closing time, to complete the closing tasks. E.G: Business is closed to customers/no more sales at 8PM. Staff should be scheduled until 8:30-9PM, reasonable amount of time to close without dealing with orders or dine in customers. We really loved their pho but truthfully there is great Vietnamese food in other parts of Long Beach that is more authentic and that will make sure we feel welcomed and valued.

    Obviously so good!

    Chicken and tofu with wide noodles . And brisket with wide noodles ! Also a Thai tea . Only this is that I wish there was more chicken instead of tofu

    Are the crispy baos vegan if we choose vegetarian filling?

    How late do they deliver?

    They stop delivering at 10:30 sweetheart. A good rule of thumb is, put in an order between 10 & 10:15pm.

    Do they mention whether they use MSG?

    Glutamate is almost in everything you eat. Funny how this xenophobia myth still lives. MSG is nothing more than protein mixed with salt. Glutamate is extracted from fruits and vegetables and is crystallized with sodium to stabilize the compound.… Read more

    Do they have any rice noodles?

    The pho noodles and vermicelli noodles are rice noodles.

    My girlfriend and I were looking for a caffeine boost to get us through Sunday when we stumbled…read moreupon Recreational Coffee in Downtown Long Beach. A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

Ordered and it didn't take long at all to get it. Did they even add espresso? Who knows because the latte was weak. It barely had any hint of coffee. I asked if the latte was sweet and they said it wasn't. After the first sip I could just taste all sweetness no espresso. Recreational coffee do you guys add espresso to the lattes? Maybe I should have ordered something else not sure.

I had a bunch of questions about the different kinds of matcha because I'm a newly matcha girlie and still learning the flavors. I told them I wanted something sweet, and they gave great recommendations and let me know the one I chose was really good quality. When I got it, it was a little strong for me, so we added more oat milk and a splash of vanilla, and that made it perfect. The aesthetic of the café was beautiful; minimalist, bougie, and it literally felt like a high end neighborhood café. The menu was teeny tiny, so it took us a minute to decide. My friend got an iced Spanish latte, and she said it was probably the best one she's ever had, this was also recommended by the cashier. We sat inside, drank our drinks, and did a little people watching out the window. Parking was a little sketch, but overall I definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

When I walked in, there was a long line, so my friends and I naturally moved toward the back to wait. For some reason, the staff decided to make us the star of the show. Even after we clearly answered that we were not in line, multiple employees kept stopping service to ask my friends the exact same question over and over. It felt like I was being singled out for no reason, and the repeated attention was embarrassing and unnecessary. This is a coffee shop. We're not trying to budge the line just because we're brown people. I've never been to a coffee shop where employees were so focused on making a customer feel uncomfortable instead of simply serving people. It completely devastated my peace and made what should have been a quick coffee stop feel awkward and hostile. Customer service isn't just about making drinks--it's about making people feel welcome. Unfortunately, this experience did the exact opposite. I won't be returning, and I certainly can't recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere.
