I would give it zero stars if I could. Came in with my husband and no one greeted us. However when other customers who weren't Hispanic came in, they were greeted. I found it discriminatory. The soup was awful. It didn't taste fresh at all. Pho 21 has way better customer service and Pho. read more

It's a Korean owned Vietnamese restaurant. The woman who served the meal was kind and she also gave me extra noodles for free. It was a filling meal so no complaints. I haven't had authentic Vietnamese pho before so I can't comment on that. read more

I first came here last week where I thought about giving this restaurant a chance to explore. I have to admit the pho is fantastic where the taste is spot on. The egg roll was amazing with juicy flavor and I enjoy adding cilantro on pho as well. Pho 2000 is doing an excellent job in service and a lot of customers tend to dine there. I plan on going there again for another bite. This restaurant reminds me of one from Texas due to its similarity which is why I'm giving this place two thumbs up. read more

This place is near my job and have been here twice! First time we ate there, they were quick and I loved the fact that they gave us all the condiments on the side. The broth was delicious! we also ordered egg rolls and those were yummy. Second time, we placed an order for pick up. Showed up 10 minutes later and our order was ready. I love that they are quick but at the same time the quality of the food stays the same! can't wait to go back soon. read more

Open 24 hours. Service is fast and friendly. The lady with glasses is especially nice. She remembers us and greets us with a smile everytime! :] Pho is good.. we always get the oxtail pho and the combo one.. w/ extra onions to mix sriracha and hoisin sauce in.. ta da~ kimchi :P Their eggrolls are good.. (they taste the same everywhere :P) would be perfect if they're not so stingy with their fish sauce! hehe Nothing's better than a hot bowl of pho 3 in the morning after drinking lotssss :] (oh wait, there IS something better.. ssh~) Parking sucks. I love pho. :] read more

Wow I always heard of the horror story of waitress chasing people down for tips, well I finally got to experiences it here at Pho2000. I can count the number of 1star reviews I give in one hand, there were so many things that went wrong when I came here with my friends. We arrived here 3am in the morning after the club, my friends were craving for some pho. I was like whatever and came along. There were 5 of us, yes I was the 5th wheel and I am not a shame of it. We waited for about 15 minutes, it didn't start off right when they moved us from a longer table that would seat 5-8 to a smaller table could only fit 4. Whatever they want to seat more people that's fine. Well we were already at this cram space and they were taking a long time to take our orders. The food was taking forever to get to us, it was somewhat busy during the time, so is understandable. I think we got our food 30-40 minutes after we sit down. Here is the Pho part, it was just bad. Really bad, and I want to say my standard for food is pretty low especially as a yelper. I know is Korean made pho but common it was bad. Totally not worth the money. Out of the five people 3 of us didn't finish the food, and I am one of those people that always finish what is on the table. Well if the night ends here I probably would give it a 2 star. So the bill total come out to be $54, we pay $60. I probably would throw down a dollar or two more but I just didn't have any change, but for the kind of service the tip amount is fit. They gave us the change back and put it on the table, we just left it there while we were still eating. The waitress came to our table and lifted up the money multiple times during the 10minutes that we were finishing up the food. I thought that was kind of weird, and I was thinking to myself is she really checking on the tips in front of us. So we got up and left, the waitress ran outside, pulled one of my friend and pointed at the bill and asked for tips. I am not trying to make fun of her, but her English was poor, so the only thing I could understand was "This much" "Tips". I told my friends just leave what we left was more than 10% but he was being nice and wanted to pay more, so we try to pay an extra dollar or two, however none of us got any dollar bills on us. One of the guy dropped $5 on top and my other friend tried to get 2 dollars back, but the waitress told him that "No he pay me" and she just left. So she made out %20+ tips, good for her but I will never go back again. Well I at least I got a story of getting chase down by a waitress for tips out of it. read more

I'm going to be short. -Awful customer service, they're not kind, not polite, they do not even smile. -They dont ask if you need something else. -They threw us the check at our table saying Thank you for coming... when we were eating just for 10 minutes!!!!!!! -The food is not tasty, I've tried better pho soups. -The bowl of soup is not worthy for $10.00 dlls. Why 2 stars? For me, the most important thing in a place is the CUSTOMER SERVICE. They only care about the money people pay and "dassit"... read more

The pho is good here. No complaints at all. The broth is clean and flavorful and the meats are cooked tender. Service is good, especially today... Was it because there were a table full of LAPD next to me slurping their pho? =+P Funny how a table full of cops seems to put everyone on best behavior.. Yes, even the patrons sat straight up.. LOL, maybe I'm just too observant. The parking lot is pretty small so it can be impossible to park during peak times. Oh, and cash only... My only gripe!! 3.5 stars! read more

DO NOT EAT THE LETTUCE THAT COMES WITH THE SPRING/EGG ROLLS. I ordered the spring rolls to go and after several bites of the dish I noticed huge dirt blobs underneath the leaves. Seeing the shit was wet, I assumed it was thoroughly washed. Not sure if everyone else does this but I like to wrap the lettuce around the rolls. Regardless if the lettuce is used to dress the dish or there to eat with the rolls, they should be clean. The dirt can easily touch the rolls themselves. No wonder my GI tract is acting up. Spent $7 to get the stomach flu :( DO NOT EAT THEIR DIRTY ASS FOOD PEOPLE read more

Love this place :) Be careful if you dont like onion Just ask no white onion as they put alot Just a tip :D read more

This is Korean-style pho. If you're expecting authentic Vietnamese style, you'll probably be confused by the broth. The oxtail pho is the stuff of dreams. I live nowhere near the restaurant but need my late night fix monthly. Sometimes the broth is less tasty (consistency is a slight issue), but even at its worst, it's better than the stuff they serve at the other Ktown pho spots. The fried rice is also amazing. Instant, greasy goodness for the post-clubbing crowd. I feel like I'm always defending the service at Korean restaurants, but it's got to be repeated, especially because the negative reviews for this place are primarily due to service experience. Some of these reviews about the "awful" service are rather incendiary. Oddly enough, the servers probably have no idea and think they are doing an excellent job. I state this to show you the level of miscommunication based on different cultural mores. For those of you not in the know about how things work at divey Korean restaurants, flagging down servers to be seated, to order, and to get your check is part of the deal. I'm always flagging down the servers for extra condiments and orders, and they have always been prompt and accommodating. Also, if your server happens to bring you your check mid-meal, that is not a sign to GTFO. The servers here work their asses off and do not need ignorant diners leaving them bad tips. I feel like a lot of the discrepancy in reviews for places on Yelp has to do with cultural ignorance. Yeah, I said it. Your move. read more

This is my safe haven after the alcohol storm. From inebriated personal experience, having a bowl of hot Pho before going to bed prevents me from having a hangover. No light headedness or nausea in the morning. This place is open until 3:00 am and actually re-opens at 5:00 am, essentially open 22 hours a day and closes up shop to clean up the kitchen I pressume. Once you walk through the front door the aromas make your mouth water. I always order the Seafood combination and the broth packs so much flavor. Heck, it's making my mouth water as I type this sentence... but yeah, it's definitely a Hangover Defense System with a friendly attentive staff. Notes: You can also enjoy a bowl of Pho without being intoxicated. read more

Dont ever get the spring roll! It taste like detergent! And the waitress comment was "dont order this again. Its suppose to taste fishy" Left a bad taste in my mouth..figuratively and literately Never going back again! Very rude and very suspicious of there sanitary environment. read more

After a long time of searching for a Pho place that is good and open late I came across "Pho 2000" the first time I came here it was awesome, the waitress was super nice to my son she was being so sweet and attentive to him, both my husband and I agreed the food was good, the service was great and we would definitely be coming back here again which we did 4 more times after that. However the 5th time around everything was great, my husband and I finished our meal and I got up to go pay my bill and the main waitress says to me "last time that you came you didn't pay for your sodas so can you pay me today" I then told her "are you sure, I don't remember that, how about you show me a receipt showing me that I forgot and i'll pay you" she then told me "I don't have a receipt but you paid with your credit card" I then told her "so in reality it was not my fault, you forgot to add the sodas to my bill so now your trying to charge me for your mistake? well I am not paying you for your mistake and guess what now you lost a customer" then I stormed off so upset. I couldn't believe that she was trying to charge me a month later for something that was their fault!! who does that? she lost a customer over 2 sodas how stupid is that? I will never come back here again, now I know how they really are, all those smiles and "good" customer service was just a front, it was all complete BS! read more

Minus 1 star because "cash only" is a pain to me. Other than that, this place is GREAT! Fast service! Flavorful pho broth! Delicious rice dishes! Tender, yummy oxtail meat! Perfectly cooked rice noodles! read more

This place is dirty!!! She poured the customer's left over water on a rag and used it to wiped down the glass on the table. I watched her clean three tables the same way. read more

Pho 2000 - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service was horrrrrrriiiiibbbbbbleeeee! omg. I get that maybe customer service isn't a priority when it's super busy but smiling and NOT grunting while orders are being taken would suffice as an "ok" service. But uh.. No. Forget it. This review is for service alone. The food was good at least. I'll give them two stars for that just because customer service should be a priority. read more

Some of these reviews are just insane. I've been here a bunch of times, have only had the oxtail pho but it is DIVINE, and the ladies who run the place are so nice and welcoming and friendly that it feels surreal to read the negative reviews. Fifteen bucks, tip included, gets you a big-ass bowl of delicious pho (I'm 6'2'' and 220 lb and it fills me up). Service is super quick. I drink a lot of water and my glass was never empty. Every time, we were greeted kindly, given the table we like best, and never felt any pressure to hurry up with our meal. And here's the kicker: the last time we went in, we got waved to our table, and one of the ladies came up to my wife and handed her a plastic bag saying "this is yours, right?" Reader, it was her laptop charger, which she'd left behind almost a month earlier, and had given up searching for. They found it, kept it safe, and recognized us instantly when we walked in. That's the kind of place this is. So, if one of these lovely ladies was mean to you when you went in at 1 am to get your drunchies fix... idk man, look in a mirror, I doubt it was all on her. read more

BEST KOREAN PHO IN LOS ANGELES. OPENS UNTIL 4 AM. CASH ONLY. Pho me now! All I can say is that this is my favorite Korean pho restaurant in town and it's located in a little strip mall. I've been here at least 50 times (usually at night) and I've never been disappointed. Korean pho is pretty much the same as Vietnamese pho except I will argue that the former is much tastier! There's something about their beef broth that just replenishes you, no matter if you're hungover or emotionally vulnerable from a recent breakup. It's full of flavor and oh so juicy! I always get their #2 without tendon or tripe, so with just rare beef and brisket. Their noodles are always on par, just perfectly tender and fresh-tasting, not overcooked or undercooked. Actually, they're quite addicting. I always finish my bowl of pho and get extra noodles. Also, a large amount of meat comes with your bowl of pho. I have yet to try #8, the pho with oxtail, but I hear a lot of good things about it and you should definitely try it if you are a hot-blooded carnivore. The service is great, too. The waitresses are quick and attentive; they will serve you your pho within 5 minutes of you placing your order. They are all Korean and usually have smiles on their faces, unless they're about to close. And you can tell by their facial expressions that they are all characters in their own right. They also have an interesting clientèle; whether it be hardcore Koreans or transexuals or almost transexuals or Goths or an Asian hooker-with-her-pimp or gay Asians or white families or Mormons or just normal-looking people, I've seen them all and I still do a double take. INSIDER'S TIPS: They have kimchi, you just have to ask for it. You should also ask for cilantro. Extra noodles are free of charge. Go at night, the chef is better. Yes, Pho 2000 is a chain but trust me when I say that this particular establishment is the best one in Los Angeles County. See you at Pho 2000! Goodness, I'm drooling already... read more

Vietnam, I apologize for calling something Pho when it clearly is not real Pho. We, Koreans, like to take something that has clear money making potential and join the band wagon...This is Korean version of what is known as Pho. Its good, but don't call it Pho in front of anyone Vietnamese. With that said, its probably healthier than Vietnamese Pho. read more

My favorite pho place in LA. This restaurant is a classic. Their beef broth is the original that never changed throughout the years it has been open. And the waitresses are so nice and fast with their service. I like #3 for the soup's crisp clean flavor. Their spring rolls are nice too. read more

The portions were small, and the prices are higher than what I'm used to in Alhambra and the O.C. (7.25 for Pho Tai? 7.25 also for FIVE pieces of egg rolls?!), as well as the soup is mediocre. Good points: It smelled good when you walk in, and it's clean. Not going back here. read more

Let me start off with WORST service EVER. And I'll tell you why, my friends and I were hungry after going to Universal Horror Nights and this was the only pho restaurant open when we checked yelp at 2am. Location: It's a small dinky little place. Nothing special. We were surprised it was even an "A" grade. We first noticed it was also owned by Koreans which was a first for us, so the expectations on authenticity dropped. Service: After we got our table the server came by and told us "you ready to order now? What you want?" In a rushing manner. We told her four #1 and 1 #4. The food came out fast which is why I don't mind even giving a star. But afterwards they gave us last call because they were going to close the kitchen soon. She asked if we needed anything else and I told her "yes, can I get more lemons please?" Without even looking at me she just said "yeah ok coming" while giving me a hand gesture. Excuse me but I know you may be busy but could you say that any less rude? Food: The food was okay as well nothing special, they gave more noodles than they did meat and the meat were small ass pieces. The BIG DEAL: What ticked us off the most was when we paid the bill and left, our server chased after us. I thought it was because we didn't pay the whole tab but no. She told us a $5 tip wasn't enough and asked for more. ARE YOU SERIOUS. I'm a server myself and never in my life going out to eat have I ever seen a server literally ask for more tips, let alone CHASE YOU DOWN. Tips are never to be expected. It's the customers choice from the quality of service received. You never know what if the customer only had that amount and not extra to leave tips? Save yourself some embarrassment people. They have no shame. I had a bad vibe eating here. Never coming back again. I don't care if I'm craving pho and it's the only place open I'll settle for some tacos instead. read more

Let's keep this simple. What to order: OXTAIL NOODLE SOUP. Hands down the best bowl of pho I ever had. Pho will never be the same for me or you again. I think this place is Korean owned but this pho is pretty legit! read more

A little disappointed at this place. Soup was good, good portion, good taste. But the briskets in my bowl's too fatty for me, I made a fat pile next to my bowl, so basically I didn't eat any of the briskets. Next time I'm just gonna stick with rare steak... some briskets have leaner cuts, but theirs' super fatty My husband usually likes the vermicelli noodles without the pho soup, you know, the ones with meat and cut up egg rolls and you toss it with a tasty sauce, but this place doesn't offer it. They do, however, offer fried rice, it was good too, but my hubby was very disappointed that he didn't get to have his noodles. read more

I realize Pho 2000's a chain, and chances are this location in the Koreatown Plaza food court probably tastes similar to the other locations, but I feel this particular one deserves a shout out for a few reasons. First, the broth tastes, I don't know, cleaner, I guess, than the two other locations I've had. It tastes richer and just flat out better, in my opinion. Second, their oxtail is unbelievably tender and flavorful. My mom puts oxtail in all her soups and stews, and coming here always reminds me of home. Finally, the owners. They are always there, always friendly, and always remember my roommate and I when we visit to get a bowl in before grocery shopping. They are quick to remind you that they offer free refills on noodles and broth, and encourage you to take them up on the promise of more food, which is a rare thing in my experience. There maybe more authentic places out there, but for service and quality, Pho 2000 in the KTP is high on my list for great pho. read more

Pho is delicious. Service varies from time to time. I'm a regular so they're usually ok. read more

So let me start by saying if you want Westminster Pho, don't go here. If you want Garden Grove Pho, don't go here. If you want Koreatown Pho...Go to Pho 2000. Listen, this place doesn't have the best broth or the largest SUPER SUPER BOWL SIZE... but it has it's own charm. It'll fix your hangovers, cold nights and even ugly nights at Karnak. I go same time every week, Sunday morning at 8 am and the waitress knows exactly what I want and how I like it before I even sit down. I feel like a regular because of the extra service. If you had a bad experience in the past, it's worth giving another shot. If service was off, you should know that Koreans are always going to hate unless you make a compliment. Cash only if under $15. read more

The food is ok but overpriced. The menu options are limited if you don't want to order pho and want a rice based plate instead. Each order of pho is over $10 a bowl. Want one order of fried spring rolls? An order that includes 5 rolls sets you back $10. On the plus side, you can get an extra free order of noodles for your pho if you aren't sharing with someone. Not a bad spot, but I don't plan on coming back. read more

Pho 2000 - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Reasons why I love this place: 1. Us group of 7 people, all covered in ridiculous marker drawings on our bodies and belligerently drunk, were warmly welcomed by the lovely Korean ladies at Pho 200. 2. Food was good, as far as I remember. I might have had the ox tail pho. Not sure. Will get back to you after I check the pictures on my iPhone. 3. Our group shamelessly performed Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" as we were waiting for our food. Got plenty of judgmental looks from some sober customers (um, which sober character would ever go to a pho place at 2am?), yet the lady who took our order STILL adored us. That's what I call true love. 4. Seriously, any eatery that you go after a crazy night out, unless the food is undeniably disgusting even to a drunken palette, must receive as least a 4 star review on Yelp. read more

I came here for a quick snack and had the spring rolls and egg rolls. Ummmm, spring rolls were really bland and just not good at all. The egg rolls were a little better, but how wrong can you go with these. The iced coffee here tasted gross and I just can't get myself to ever come back here. I hear that pho is what one would need to try here, maybe one day I'll taste it..... read more

Pho 2000 - Spring rolls and Vietnamese iced coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my fav pho in town. The portions are huge. I usually get the oxtail soul. It's absolutely delicious. I actually go out of my way, even in traffic for it. Whenever I crave soup this is where I come. I also like their egg rolls, they're usually perfectly crispy :) read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! i couldn't snap a picture because of how disgusted i was but my boyfriend and i came here to grab some pho, the lady sat us down and gave me pho quickly, i noticed it smelled funny and when my boyfriend took a bite a dead cockroach floated to the top. i was about to eat dead cockroach marinated pho. this place is absolutely disgusting read more

Psst. Come here. No, closer. Lean in closer. I have a very embarrassing secret.... I've never had pho... *blush* Until NOW!!!!! I don't know how it happened that I made it to almost 25 and still haven't had any pho. For some reason it just kept slipping through my hands. I've had ramen after ramen. Bahn mis galore. But the epitome of Vietnamese cuisine has some how slipped through my grasp. CP was very excited to introduce me to one of his preferred late night cuisines. On our way to the barcade we stopped in here. CP instructed me that I better know what I want the first time the waitress comes around or I may never get another chance to order. So we picked out our food before even going in. To say that the staff is curt is an understatement. But everything was done so efficiently I guess they don't have time to be pleasant. After my pho came out I barely cared about anything and I especially didn't mind that the staff was so bare boned in their approach. We shared an enormous bowl of oxtail pho and some egg rolls. The pho was delightful. Each bite of oxtail was so tender and when mixed in with the soup was just exploding with flavor. I couldn't believe how tasty it was. And filing. Between the two of us we couldn't even finish this bowl. We tried though. I slurped that delicious broth right out of the bowl. After one bite each of the egg roll we decided to box it up and give it to a homeless person. It was so greasy and there was this mystery content inside that made my stomach turn. I don't know what was supposed to be in the egg roll but whatever it was was not for me. We definitely won't order that next time. Ahhhhh next time. I can feel that hot broth on my face already. read more

Been eating this soup for years. I'm especially fond of the oxtail. The meat is always tender and flavorful and the broth itself is in the top tier. The staff is a bit abrupt, but never rude. I'm not there to chat with the servers and so this does not bother me. The ambiance is seriously poor, but the soup is so delicious it wouldn't make a difference to me if they were missing their roof. Always clean, always consistent and almost always open. That being said, if you plan on heading there late night, you should call prior to arrival to make sure they don't close early which they frequently do. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

This is one of those places where the food is so good for the price it charges, you really can't believe it. It's a PHO house, so almost all dishes are soup. Be prepared though, you will find a few odds and ends on there like a really good fried rice, some fried egg rolls, or the summer rolls which are all amazing. If you come super late on a party night, be prepared that it may be packed. Outside of those hours though, it had a pretty solid rep for being speedy - without sacrificing the overall product. read more

My favorite pho restaurant. I don't get to come as often since I live on the westside, but when I'm in the mood and it's a weekend, I try to make it over here. I love the oxtail pho, although lately the portions have been more meager and fattier. I love their summer rolls (that fried/dried onion gives it a nice crunch) and I like to finish it off with Thai tea. Pretty cheap, blah parking, but still, love this place. read more

Hi, My name is Raul and I'm addicted to Oxtail. Now that I've accepted my problem. I feel much better. Part of my addiction is blamed onto Pho 2000 because they have an amazing Oxtail pho. I have not tried anything else from the menu because my body can't handle going there and not ordering Oxtail. Wow. I've said oxtail way too many times. Hours are great too. Opens early, closes super late. Perfect for a late snack. Service is normal. Not the best, not the worst. But then again, it's an 8.00 pho place. Did you expect Mastros? When you see the 5 stars remember I'm basing it on the Oxtail pho...Dang it..I said it again. #IneedOxtail read more

Thanks but no thanks. Some of you guys must know that I'm not a big fan of pho. Whatsoever. But after playing tennis for a couple of hours we wanted something hot for our throats. My friend suggested Pho so the first thing that popped into my head was EGG ROLLS! Yummy. We get there and the prices are ri-dic-cu-lous! I mean, 8 dollars for 5 pieces of egg rolls? Those egg rolls better have magic in them. Anyways, we ordered 2 orders of egg rolls and some pho but who cares about that. What I liked about the egg rolls is that they were fat..... lol. Thats it. My CONS about the egg rolls, they had NO FLAVOR to them, I don't if its because my taste buds were burned off because of the egg rolls or just they were bland and such. Even the sauce didn't look appetizing so I was just like whatevers. It is NOT worth the 8 dollars for 5 pieces. Like, I can make my own eggrolls and they would taste TWICE as good. And I can't make egg rolls. What ticked everyone off was the fact that the lady was cleaning another table and she dumped their trash onto our table? What the fuck? I mean I know we're done, but don't be rude. Rude! I knew these koreans were gonna chase after us about the tip, so I just told them to leave two dollars and lets bounce... quickly... 2 Stars for such shitty egg rolls. Have fun and Good luck! read more

Food: Very good! It taste just as good as the ones I go to in San Diego. I like how they give unlimited noodles, and I also love how they give sliced onions with asking(that's just me bc I love sliced onions lol). Service: it's alright, nothing to complain about. Parking: recommend going on day time bc the valet parking is cheaper than night time. read more
