    Pho tai dac biet
    Diana N.

    I have been to this pho place before awhile back. Today, I went here with my dad and we got pho tai dac biet. The pho tai dac biet has two sizes (small and large). The pho was delicious, great flavor, and aromatics. The beef was soft, smooth, and easy to chew. The noodles are soft, chewy,and bouncy. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is plenty of parking. I would definitely come back here if I would want to have a good pho for a cold day.

    Honestly, not as good as other pho places but still so solid. I can't consciously give this a 4 star because everything was excellent. The broth and meat quality is solid but not as good as the best, however it was a great portion and hit the spot when other restaurants had crazy long waits! Service was good and the inside was clean and tidy.

    NGL the line at phoholic was too long, so I went to the nearest pho joint. It happened to be Pho 86, which is diagonally across the street. There was plenty of parking. The parking lot is huge. (Iykyk phoholic has like no parking) I saw signs that said pho ga hai nam, so I decided to try it. It came with a garlic sauce and a small bowl of hot broth, which was delicious. The rice was on the dry side, so I wouldn't order this again. The pho dac biet was satisfying. You can get a large size of this for $0.50 more. I think they forgot to be diligent with removing fatty parts. There was literally two chunks of inedible yellow fat. I ordered an appetizer of egg rolls (4). This was pretty good! I wish it came with more greens other than lettuce. I would get it again. The garlic sauce from my rice was good with the egg rolls too. Service was good. There weren't too many patrons, so I felt they were very attentive. There was one lady who spoke English well, but everyone else said very little. Credit card is accepted, but there is a fee, maybe $0.50, to use it. They also charge $0.50 to take out orders.

    The service was quick and friendly! The server performed multiple table touches to ensure our group ordered everything correctly. The food was delicious, not needing to add any flavoring, as the Pho was perfect. The dining area was clean, presentable and music from today hits playing, just at the right volume. Plenty of parking.

    I was a regular here for years when I first moved to California in 2006. Haven't been back for 15 years because we moved away. We just moved back and as soon as I taste the soup again the other day all the memories came back. Love the flavor so much. Also a big plus the owner and team here is so nice. Ps must try their chen tiet.

    Fresh and delicious food

    Delicious food ! Pho broth is on point, rich in flavor and you can taste the freshness. Ordered the egg rolls and the bowl of beef tendons. To die for !!! Absolutely amazing, will come back very soon. Thank you Tiffany.

    Still my go to spot for pho. They have the best beef and chicken pho and they're generous with the meat portion. Their limeade is really good too.

    Broth was watery and not rich. Noodles were super overcooked to the point it was very mushy and breaking down. Food was not worth the price.

The chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce gave it that extra yummy goodness. The dish also came with a side of broth that had chicken bits in it, was nice to help digest your dish. I also loved that they gave you pickled veggies & fresh veggies. We also ordered the Loi's Fusion Saltado, upgraded the rice to garlic egg fried rice. The beef was soft and tender, the fries were nice and crispy and the fried rice was fresh. You 100% need to get the Thai Tea. A lot of place add too much cream/half and half diluting the tea flavor, they do not skimp on the actual tea in their drink. The color speaks for itself on the dark orange hue!

It also came with their dipping sauce, red rice and a fried egg. They also give you a side of broth. I was not a fan of their rice. Not sure if it was just that night or if it's how their rice is always cooked, but the rice was on the drier side so I had pour soup on my rice or else it was too dry. Service was okay. I would give them another try. Maybe for their noodle soup dishes.

Now about the hu tieu, which came with all the delicious bbq pork, shrimp, shredded chicken, fried garlic and onions, lightly dressed in an oh so delicious sauce. For me, the sauce was actually the star. Mix everything together and get yourself one delicious bite, filled with so much flavor.

My husband...it's not his fave. But majority rules in this family. I wasn't prepared to be blown away. I most certainly was smacked in the face by flavor from Sen Vietnamese Cuisine in Westminister. We pulled up to this small cafe. A very unassuming place. The kids quickly picked our table. The hubby went up to the counter to order. The food starts to arrive quickly. And what happens next, I'm not quite sure, cause it was a blur of amazingness. The Bánh Ướt with steamped rice paper and pork patties + tofu + fresh herbs and special house sauce literally knocked me backwards. The presentation alone was stellar. But the flavors. THE FLAVORS!!! Out of the park, you guys. Jordan and I were beside ourselves. Licking our fingers and everything. The bánh mìs were appetizer-style cuteness, hai phong style paté and shredded pork in house special sauce. You wouldn't believe the flavors from these little bites. My son couldn't stop! Of course, the kids had what they endearingly call "white noodles" - the phở bắc Đặc biệt. Slurped up every last bite of it. My husband and I tried to steal some bites in, too. Gosh. Too good. We promised ourselves to go back. We never did. But it's definitely on my list. Writing this review now, I'm salivating all over again.
