    Garnish with eggrolls
    Peter M.

    When I came to Pho Chala, there was some hesitation on my part because, not only was the parking empty, but also the restaurant. With past experience, this has never transpired to what can suggest. That is, a bad choice for food. I walked in to a warm welcome. The plan was to have a relaxed lunch. Ordered the fried egg rolls to start. Came out hot, crisp, crunchy and with taste. After eating the whole order, I seemed to have had my fill. So I asked for the check, complemented the excellent service and bid goodbye. Funny thing is that once got into my car, my appetite fired up and guess what. I drove into the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant across the street.

    Cute family owned restaurant Lots of parking Love the decor Inside is very nice and clean Pho was good slightly sweet Fried rice has alittle curry mixed loved the Chinese sausage Vietnamese iced coffee was filled to the brim and was very strong! Server was a little girl who had the whole restaurant locked down! Definitely worth trying if nearby!

    Very good Pho in the area! Good service and clean inside! The Pho broth was really good and enjoyed it very much! The Sesame Wings were alright, nothing special! Would've gave 5 Stars but the wings didn't "WOW" me so 4 Stars! But still very good!

    Ordered on DoorDash and it was ready in 10 min! I appreciated how quick and easy it was to order and pick up especially since I'm not too far down the street. I walked in to pick up and the tables and floor were pristine which I really appreciated. There was also ample parking. We got the pork banh mi, filet mignon pho, and cream cheese rangoons. The rangoons were easily my favorite - great price for the amount and I love a good crunch. The soup broth and filet mignon tasted a little off to me even when adding in hoisin sauce and other toppings. Open to trying the other menu items though!

    great quick service! i got the pho beef combo and it had a good amount of meat. the flavor was great and wasn't overly flavorful like other pho broths ive tried at other restaurants. i also tried their vietnamese coffee and wow-- it was good and really got me caffeinated lol. definitely has the traditional strong coffee flavor. the restaurant is clean and spacious, with plenty of parking outside. will come back soon!

    Bun Thịt Nướng (with pork)

    Solid, fresh tasting Vietnamese food located in a strip mall. Bright, airy inside. Clean tables. Unassuming, friendly, fast service. - Pho beef combo (5/5): Flavorful soup base, meat to noodle ratio was good. - Spring rolls with shrimp (5/5): fresh ingredients in spring roll. Perfectly poached tender shrimp. - Bun Thịt Nướng (with pork) (5/5): tender, perfectly grilled pork (with some fatty pieces on it), (1) crispy egg roll and (3) grilled nicely seasoned shrimp on top of cold noodles, shredded green leaf lettuce, sliced cucumbers and crushed peanuts. Fish sauce on the side. Good flavors. All ingredients tasted fresh. I asked for more slices of jalapeños but I don't think they understood my request as it never came. No big deal. We will come back to try their other dishes!

    Pho filet mignon
    Jasmine N.

    I stopped coming here after receiving horrible services twice. The young lady, I think is the owner's daughter or related to them, is the cashier and waiter. From the moment we entered, she looks annoyed that we dared to interrupt her from playing on her phone, then throws down the menu, and doesn't check up on us for water refills until we asked for the check. At the end the most we got is a forced smile. When their a/c broke last year, the owner asked her if we wanted the fan on, she answered no on our behalf after closing the door. I understand having bad days and second chances but it's been consistently bad with this girl and I feel bad for the owners who are humble and trying to make it work. The food quality is good on most days but still not consistent, and I don't recommend getting their chicken entrees.

    How is this place a 4.9?? The great filet mignon is chewy; and they gave me only 4 slices of it! The vermicelli disintegrated when you pick it up with chopsticks. The soup flavor is lightweight meaning you can't even smell the fish sauce stink which is STANDARD. Specially if you added their lime and sprouts which is the option, the soup becomes a sad sour failure. Service is... well she is trying. I literally paid and left to go to another PHO place! Other points: Basil not fresh, no homemade charred chili.

    This is how iced coffee came. Not even filled up to the top.
    Helen C.

    The place was practically empty which was no biggie.. but was sooo quiet. They needed music or some kind of noise background We ordered: ICED COFFEE- they didn't even fill it up to the top MIXED BEEF PHO- not sure which type of meat it was, but it was the only one that was tender. The tendon was super hard... The meatball was also hard. I do have to say the broth was really good, which is the reason why they got three stars FILET MIGNON PHO- my husband like this. It's just a standard pho. I was not a fan of them, not having small dishes where you could put the hoisin sauce on the Sriracha. But they give us a tiny bowl to put it in so that was fine. The service was OK no biggie when we needed something she came. Would I come back? Most likely not.

    Very honest opinion: Not sure if I'm eating the same food as everyone else leaving reviews here,…read morebut I got the signature beef (Lanzhou) noodle soup combo and it was incredibly disappointing~mediocre. Server guy was chill. The food is served in a paper bowl, unlike the nice bowls you see in their pics. Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15. But to constantly take the top 5 for recommended on Yelp in this area and waste my time to even look at it, it definitely doesn't belong remotely close to top 10.

The service was friendly and the wait was reasonable. Its located in the mall which means that you don't really get much of a vibe from this place alone but of everything surrounding. The soup was not spicy imo, I have a high tolerance, but it did have a good flavor. The noodles were thick and soft but they lacked a bit of flavor. The beef was soft and flavorful with the smaller bits of beef, which resembled ground beef, were very tasty. The soup was good overall but felt a bit too oily. The dumplings had a light crunchy exterior and the inside was juicy but it felt just a bit too mushy for me. Overall a good place and I would return to try something else.

The menu was on laminated paper which must be a few years old and felt disgusting to touch. I started with hot tea and it was served in a metal cup. I wish they served it in a nice ceramic container for customer's enjoyment. For lunch, we ordered chicken chow mein and their pork and crab dumpling (like a xiao long bao). The chicken chow mein had a boatload of cabbage and probably 10 strips of chow mein noodles. It should have been called cabbage noodles (lol). The pork and crab dumplings would have been a hit, but the dumpling shell had a "soapy" smell. The meat inside was soft and tasted good, but I couldn't get over the smell of the shell. We would have also wanted to try seaweed salad, but it was unavailable on this day. The parking at Northern Cafe is plenty. The staff is also courteous. But given the state of the food and overall feel, I give it only two stars. Truthfully, you can find better Chinese food close by this area. There's Maru Ramen on Reseda and Nordhoff, or Silverlake Ramen on Rinaldi. And no, I don't work for either of those places. All of this feedback is based on customer experience.

Every single dish we ordered -- from the appetizers to the main dishes and dessert -- was absolutely delicious. One of my favorites was the edamame. The sauce was so good that I actually took the leftover sauce home! What also makes them different from many other Japanese restaurants we've been to is the attention to detail in their customer service. Since there were six of us, they automatically gave everyone both chopsticks and forks without us even asking. I especially appreciated that because my mom usually has to request a fork at restaurants. The staff kept checking on us, refilling drinks proactively, and making sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. Even when we ordered mochi for dessert, they already cut it into shareable pieces and brought a fresh set of plastic forks for everyone. It's the little things that really make a difference -- excellent food, beautiful and clean atmosphere, amazing service, convenience, and thoughtful attention to customers. Definitely a 5-star experience for me and my family. Highly recommended!
