    Pho Chin Nam Gan Sach
    Natalia

    It was my first time here, I would say the food was actually good so if you can tell the camera didn't eat first lol i took some pictures after realizing. The environment was okay, first walking in did see a lot of tables not cleaned up give or take at least 4 tables with all food left over. And that my waiter was not very welcoming and seem like he did not want to be there. I did order water and a soda...never got my water. But over all the food is good can't complain.

    The food is so fresh a flavorful. They were very efficient so I loved the service ! The restaurant is decorated so nicely and it's very clean perfect for a date

    Chicken wings

    Small little restaurant. We were greeted right away and told to sit wherever we liked. The food was really good. I loved the kung pao spaghetti and the pho. The chicken wings were on the smaller side with very little meat, so I probably wouldn't order those again. Overall, though, great experience and I'll definitely be back.

    We've seen this place every time we drive by and we've always we need to try it so this time we did. It did not disappoint. As you walk in there is no horses you just find a seat and you can order right off the table on these little iPads. It was a neat experience. The waitress did come over and confirm our order which was good. The only thing is not all drinks are on the menu when you order. The computer showed only coke products but they had Pepsi. They have a combination meal that includes PHo soup, appetizer and a drink for $19.99. On this visit I got the chicken pho. I love it and it really was a good size for the price, I chose the potstickers as my appetizer and those were cooked just perfect too. My husband got the spicy beef noodle Pho and that was delicious and he chose the egg rolls as his appetizer. We love this place and will definitely be coming back for more. They have other dishes like pad Thai that looked so good. I definitely want to try that on our next visit. If you haven't tied this place you should cause it was really good and you can't beat those prices.

    Best Pho in town!!! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!!!! Great service!! Bbq spring rolls are bomb

    Beef pho- as expected

    It was busy and there was only one server., but she did a good job. The menu was available on a screen attached to the table, but too inconvenient to use for both of us. I used the one regular menu they had. The drunken noodles were very good! I had the beef pho, which was tasty. The spring roll was just ok. They are usually my favorite thing at any restaurant, not sure what was missing, but I didn't finish them. It was a bit dusty and the front counter decor was neglected, but I think that's good in a place like this. They clearly spend more time on quality food than decorating.

    Number 1 on the menu sirloin steak and beef tendon pho.

    Stopped by this place to try it out and as soon as you walk in there a combo special in the front entrance window so I was sat down immediately did not wait long. The waitress was so polite and helpful, the place has a good Asian themed vibe. Came to try the combo and have to say it was a good deal. Big bowl of pho, a spring roll or egg roll, and a drink for 20 isn't bad at all. The soup was good, got the bowl with the tendon added. The spring roll was good only comes with 1 cut in half. The beef broth was very good and cleared the bowl. This is a good lunch break spot if you're close by.

    Went here on a weekday lunch time. The server was fast and was able to give me a seat within a minute. I love pho and have tried many places for pho or Vietnamese restaurants. I really liked the taste of their pho and the portion was huge for 1 person; for that I can give it 5 stars :) However, the egg roll wasnt a fave of mine. I think it has less filling and im not sure if it's just veggies inside. Other than that, place was clean and ambiance was great. I recommend this place if you are in the area and wanted to try some pho :)

    The #1 Pho Bowl is amazing. Great broth, good portions of meatballs and steak. Fire everytime.

    Check your receipt before signing the bill. They charged the tip (18%) at their own and there was another "Gratitude" blank on the slip.

One day after work I'm kinda sad... being an LA boy I missed my asian cuisine. Mom was out at MahJong and dad was idk planting flowers or something (he's retired now so I guess he picked up Botany). Out comes the beef chow fun. Quite frankly it itched my chinese tickle. You know its good when it's named "fun." That's "noodles" in Mandarin for my non-Mandarin friends. 5 out of 5.
