    Pho dac biet
    Nguyen P.

    I haven't been here for over 10 years, and I have to be honest, I'm not sure if it's the same owners or the same pho restaurant. My fiance was feeling under the weather, so we thought some warm pho would help. We've been to quite a few pho shops and wanted to give this spot a visit. Let's say it wasn't hard to get a table here and the service is just ok. But the reason for the low score is for the pho. The broth tasted a little off and the noodles were over cooked. I really don't get how they have such a high rating. Maybe it's the demographic they serve. I was hoping to get an avocado smoothie but got denied that order. Overall, I don't think I'd come here again and wouldn't recommend it. There are too many great options in the area to settle.

    Great service. Quiet place. Perfect to relax during lunch. I had honey walnut shrimp. A little different from what I'm used to but it was good. There were so many things I'd like to try but would need to come with a group so I can "share".

    I've been coming here since I was a little kid, and I swear by it to this day. It's truly one of the best hidden gems and pho spots you'll ever try! Coming from a traditional Vietnamese family, I can say the pho here tastes incredibly authentic as it's rich, has flavorful broth, solid portions, and great prices. Beyond the pho, they have a wide range of dishes from rice plates to spring rolls and vermicelli noodles, plus a great selection of drinks. My family and I come here almost every week, and the staff is always super friendly, attentive, and quick on their feet. The interior is consistently clean, and you can tell the team works hard to keep everything running smoothly. If you're looking for delicious, traditional Vietnamese comfort food, this spot never misses!

    I ordered the Pho Dac Biet ($14.99). That's the House Special Pho with Ribeye Steak, Brisket, Tendon, Flank, and Beef Ball. When I bit into its meat, my eyes widened. It's extremely tender and fresh! I stared at my pho in amazement before promptly devouring it. There's integrity at 626 Pho (Baldwin Park). I arrived at 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) on Monday (around 7PM). Its plaza had plenty of parking. The location is unassuming, but I felt somewhat taken aback at its high popularity. 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) had nonstop customers for to-go and dine-in. Staff is courteous. Their interaction is minimal; however, staff efficiently guided me to a seat. A friendly male staff member had eventually noticed me, and he took my order. I ordered the #17 Pho Dac Biet ($14.99). The food arrived in eight minutes and four seconds. As alluded to, I happily enjoyed my #17 Pho Dac Biet ($14.99). This pho is unique. I felt myself blink in shock as its meat fell apart in my mouth. These felt like fresh cuts from a good Korean BBQ. Next, its noodles arrived hot, hefty, & springy. And its broth tasted light, clean, and gentle. I felt my happiness surge exponentially with each bite. "IT'S SO DELICIOUS!" I'd scream! Regarding ambiance, 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) is clean, spacious, and well-ventilated. There were many shiny tables. Customers wore very casual clothing (one even wore pajamas), and many dine-in customers appeared to be locals. 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) had two flat screen TVs. One played the news on mute (with no english captions or subtitles) which was unhelpful. Another played music but it had intermittent commercial ads. This location favors functionality; it's not upscale. If I had to nitpick, its mirror even had a somewhat eery smudgy look. Regardless, the location is clean and welcoming. Overall, 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) is one of my top pho locations in SGV. Its unassuming and almost generic appearance makes its fresh & high-quality pho that more bewildering. This hidden local gem is popular for a good reason. It's a must-try! 5 out of 5. GO!!!

    We have never been treated so rudely by the staff here before. My friends and I walked in, and the employee with the glasses slammed the menus down on our table without saying hello or acknowledging us, then immediately walked away. At first, we gave him the benefit of the doubt and laughed it off because we're regulars and figured he might just be having an off day. Unfortunately, his attitude remained rude and dismissive throughout our entire visit even slamming the menus on the counter when he went back AFTER we ordered. We're genuinely disappointed because we've always had positive experiences here, which is why we keep coming back. This visit was completely out of character for the service we've come to expect, and we hope this feedback is taken seriously so future guests don't have a similar experience.

    veggie pho
    Ashley D.

    Service was nice and overall fast but it was not the most flavorful veggie pho that i've had and def not the best pho within the sgv.

    Spring rolls
    Jared R.

    Came here on a rainy day wanting to warm up with some pho. Immediately we were seated and left with some menus. Looked over it a few minutes then they came to check if we were ready. We ended up ordering some springs rolls, beef bahn mi, and. Ribeye and brisket pho. Everything came out in a timely manner. Food was great, everything was so refreshing. Nice hot broth, fresh and crisp veggies. They also kept refilling our waters. Service was spot on! Definitely a good spot for comfort food. The inside was also clean and organized. Lots of seating available. Would 10/10 recommend

    Spring rolls

    My boyfriend is a huge fan of 626 pho! We always come on a cloudy day or as soon as we feel a cold coming and feel so much better. Staff is always kind and serves fast, can never go wrong with pho, tea, and spring rolls ! Good music always & very clean between customers.

    Dinner with the fam, brought them to try Pho for the first time!
    Alejandra M.

    Brought my family here to try pho for the first time! I've had pho before but this was my first time at this restaurant. I chose this place since it is located across the street from us so it was convenient. We (party of 6) showed up about 20min before closing time, we were welcomed and sat down right away. Although it was soon closing time, not once did we feel rushed or pressured. The staff was very attentive and helpful when it came to ordering our food and drinks which was very nice of them. Everyone ended up ordering pho along with cream cheese filled ragoons and it was all delicious! Everything seemed fresh and made to order. We will definitely be coming back again soon. If you're looking for a good pho place, this is the one.

    Shaken beef
    Angeli P.

    Good pho. Food was pretty straight forward. Pho was good, shaken beef was flavored well with lots of onions, and egg rolls came out fresh from the fryer. The staff were very nice. Seating is at a table or booth. The space is child friendly. Parking is inside a plaza. Saturdays around 12 pm was very busy.

    Beef brisket and Chicken Pho
    Monique E.

    Once coming in we are greeted with open arms and choose were we want to sit. The food is amazing everything is homemade and on the spot. They also have coffee, teas, boba and different types of soupThe employees are super nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. The prices are very affordable. I would come again this is my favorite pho place in the 626 area.

    Thai ice tea, really good
    Sven T.

    I been here 2 times. First time was with my mom and the service was slow, there was 3 young ladies and they didn't speak a word of English besides the basics. They forgot my drink, and they didn't understand when I asked for a certain items. There wasn't even that many customers, after 12 minutes of no water or drinks or food, my mom was about to get up and leave, then I said a couple more minutes, if nothing shows up then we leave. Finally she brought out our egg rolls then the combo pho but they forgot our drinks, a cup of hot water for my mom and a Thai ice tea for me. I reminded her and she apologized and brought them out. Even though the food was good, I didn't want to come back or write a review for them because of how slow the service was. It was a new pho restaurant and we thought of trying it out. That happened a couple of months ago and last week I decided to go back and tried them again by myself to see if it improved. To my surprise, it did improve, they have a couple of young guys working instead and they speak pretty good English. The food came out quickly and it tasted good, the pho broth was flavorful, the egg rolls was steaming hot and crispy, it has just the right amount of seasoning. As I was enjoying my food, I heard this one waiter kept talking loudly and usually I don't minded it but he was loud, the other 2 was more respectful by not saying much. He was louder than the music. We may not understand Vietnamese but please have some respect for your customers who are eating at your restaurant, we want to enjoy and concentrate on our food not listening to his jokes. I probably come back with my father, he wants to try a new place also but with the atmosphere here, I'm not sure if he'll like it compared to the one at the Haven City in West Covina. We'll see. There's plenty of parking, Dollar Tree is right next door for all your convenience shopping, and Chinese bbq, and other shops, even a massage parlor, yeah lol and if you're near by, I recommend coming here for a nice bowl of pho, their food is pretty good too.

    Rare Ribeye Steak & Brisket Pho, Rare Ribeye Steak & Beef Ball Pho
    Ivy C.

    Rating: 7.8/10 Solid, clean, no-frills pho place. We actually drove about 20 minutes to come here specially since 626 Pho was rated highly on Yelp. I'm on the search for my favorite pho place in the 626! We came around 6PM on a Saturday night. There were about 5 groups dining it, not busy at all and we got to choose where we sat. The service was quick and efficient. We ordered and received our food within 5 minutes of ordering. Bf got pho #21 with rare steak and brisket, and I got #22 with rare steak and beef balls. The soup is moderately rich and savory, not overly oily. Clean and hot broth. Noodles are slightly thinner than I prefer and were also clumped together when we first got our food. I prefer mine a little on the al dente or less cooked side as well. However, the food hit the pho craving I had, especially on a cold windy night. Overall, a very solid bowl of pho but not the best I've ever had for my personal taste. I probably wouldn't make the drive to come here, but I could see myself coming if I were in the area! I recommend you come try 626 Pho if you're around!

Lavazza might as well be the sugary gimmicks Starbucks can pull off on their best days. You're paying for the name, not the quality of your drinks. Next red flag was the counters behind the 'baristas.' They were stocked with buckets of sugary ingredients like some store bought cookie butter stacked on top of some other store bought 'dubai' butter. That seemed a bit unsanitary and, frankly, kinda sloppy. Last red flag were the sad, sauce-soaked paninis we got. In fact, they were probably the worst paninis we've ever had. Our chicken chipotle avocado panini was drenched in what clearly tasted like store-bought chipotle sauce and the chicken just tasted like reheated chopped breasts (I mean I wouldn't blame them, they're a cafe, not a kitchen.) The mango habanero panini was even worse in that it was more drenched in what also tasted like store-bought habanero sauce, making the panini a dripping mess. But the choice of using what tasted like candied dried mango slices in the sandwich was awful. The flavors just did not marry and it's likely because this is what happens when you have a great idea, but use crap and cheap ingredients to craft something. Maybe they are better known for some other dishes, but the fact that they use store-bought sauces on their sandwiches is pretty tacky. Overall, this place is all hype and no heart. Just a steady flow of clout-chasing customers akin to those that frequent Starbucks as part of a lifestyle. Don't fall for the hype. It's okay to not like something that the masses do.
