    Seafood Combo #2 with chicken broth
    Hayden L.

    Came here again after a trip to IKEA and it was great again! It was the first time I tried any pho with chicken broth. It was good, yet definitely lighter and less bold than beef broth. I wish that there was a bit more seafood in the bowl though. The service was very friendly and fast. The ambiance is typical for a Vietnamese place. It's simple, clean and in a strip mall. It's a better choice than the chain restaurants on the other side of IKEA.

    I've never had heartburn before. 2 hours later and I'm still in pain, already took Alka Seltzer and Tums. The protein portions are in the small side. It was tasty but something in the mixed vermicelli gave me a severe case of heartburn and I've eaten and love very spicy food before, this meal in particular had zero spice so not sure what is causing it.

    My favorite pho place ! Love the spring rolls too they are so good and the workers are very attentive.

    The service was exceptional, and they were really on top of it. I don't know if it's a family or own business but if it isn't, there were way too many employees present and not enough customers. I was suspicious feeling that they have some kind of a deal with some advertising that was blasting so loudly that we couldn't hear ourselves. They have some kind of a radio station or something consistently speaking louder than their TV sets that is advertising for some stupid program and it's on a loop and so loud and obnoxious that we wanted to leave in the middle of our meal. Our Pho was not impressive. The broth was very watery and not rich. The windows were dirty, and the place did not look clean. We won't be returning.

    Flavor Budz What's Good! So why am I just finding out about Pho Crystal?! (Lol) NGL, I'm from Carson, like from Carson, who has been here since I was a kid. Mind you, I drive past this restaurant literally every other day and never really noticed it, I know, shame, lol But we'll circle back to that story later, lol. My husband and I wanted something warm and confronting to eat so we came here. First impressions are lasting impressions and the staff were welcoming and friendly. We were seated promptly and was able to place our order within 10 minutes of being seated. We ordered the Brisket Pho and it was flavorful, the Brisket was tender and plentiful. The portion size was a reasonable price this was hospitable experience. If you're looking for a family friendly restaurant to eat, laugh and enjoy time with the people you care about I would recommend dinning here.

    Came here randomly as I saw someone recommend it on social media. I got the surf n turf garlic noodles for take out and was impressed! I do wish it wasn't as "saucy" as it was but overall flavor was good! The price was very reasonable in comparison to other Vietnamese spots. And the gentleman gave me a refresher drink for the road! Will be coming back to try their other items!

    This is my favorite pho place so far in the area. The broth is really good quality and balanced. For the small size there's also a good amount of meat and noodles. Food came out fast and fresh. We also ordered the pork chop rice plate. Nuoc mam is also well made. Service was great! Also love the tapioca dessert they give at the end.

    This was my first time coming to this restaurant and the service was great. The server was attentive of my guest and I. She asked us if we needed anything every so often. The ambiance was spacious and we went before dinner time so not a lot of people. I enjoyed it and the food was so delicious. We didn't know what to choose, we wanted to get everything. We started with the Crystal appetizer platter, and the shrimp puffs were our favorite. We wanted more! My guest ordered the meat with egg rice platter and I ordered the seafood combination #2 with chicken broth! So amazing helped me with my sinuses! I can't wait to come back and try the surf and turf!

    I've been sick and we decided Pho might help. We found this place as we were driving to the mall. It did not disappoint! We were sat down quickly, and staff was friendly. Despite the rain, there were quite a few people there. They have music playing and the decor is nice, too. We will definitely be returning.

    Morning brunch was fantastic. Semi busy with plenty of seating available. Atmosphere was great with good choice of music. Upon entering, the server greeted and politely directed to my table. Very courteous, gave me enough time to order and especially answer any questions I may have especially about their selection of Pho choices. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, DRINKS: 1. Lemon water 2. Vietnamese Ice Coffee (only one size) APPETIZER: 1. Shrimp Puffs (6 Pcs) Seasoned shrimp wrapped in wonton shells and fried to golden perfection and served witha side of sauce. MAIN: 1. The Traditional Combo (Pho) Sliced steak, brisket, flank, tendon and tripe in a clear, aromatic broth. 2. Side of Shrimp (3pcs) and Beef Ball (2 pcs but cut in half to look like 4) Overall experience was amazing. The broth flavor and temperature was perfect. For a large size felt medium with a large bowl and especially the side items for $4 each, I expected more. I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. They have a restroom for your convenience. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    Ordered the Brisket Pho, spring rolls and Thai read through DD. The soup base was too salty. The meat wasn't dry but it wasn't soft like I prefer. The spring rolls have meat and personally I only want shrimp in it. The Thai tea was the only thing I really enjoyed. Overall it was okay.

    Garlic Noodles with shrimp and beef
    Maribel O.

    We were seated right away. And as the waiter brought water with lemon, we got the menu. We ordered the seafood pho with shrimp spring rolls and garlic noodles with shrimp and beef. The spring rolls were smaller than I've seen before but the peanut sauce went so good with them. It wasn't watered down , had good flavor & consistency. The pho soup tasted really good. It did not disappoint. Noodles were soft enough to cook in the broth, there was enough seafood for the amount of broth, noodles served. The noodles, shrimp and beef had good flavor. Only noticeable thing was there was more than enough oil on the plate, which was not appealing. We enjoyed the complimentary tapioca as a small dessert before paying! The environment was ok. The service was good. I would recommend this place as quick bite to eat or to go.

    rare steak pho!

    Amazing and quick service! Food is always delicious and consistent and the workers are very courteous and kind. Reasonable pricing which is why I'm here every week!

    Way too much oil!!!!!!

    It was our first time visiting The Enclave, and with so many dining options, Long Beach Fish Grill…read morestood out for us. We arrived around 8 p.m. and were the only customers at the time, which worked out perfectly since we were able to enjoy the patio with our dog. The concept is similar to California Fish Grill but better. I ordered the House Combo fish and chips with shrimp and scallops, which came with cocktail sauce, ketchup, and tartar sauce. We also started with a bowl of clam chowder to share. My husband was extra hungry and ordered both the salmon salad and a rockfish plate. Each dish came with soft yet nicely toasted garlic bread. Between the two, I preferred the rockfish over the salmon. We also upgraded our side to grilled zucchini and it was delicious! Overall, it was a really enjoyable dinner, and I'd definitely come back to try their sandwiches and tacos next time.

They were just fried hollow greasy batter and it gives unpleasant lingering old oil in your mouth ugh They charge 15% fee just to eat inside.

Attentive. Multiple kind employees checking on you during your meal. Skip the soda here: it's flat and doesn't taste right. (Management: Fix your fountain drink machine. The flavors and carbonation are off on Coke and Coke Zero). Wait time: come at opening or expect to wait 1-2 hours. You can put your name on the list and receive a text when it's ready. Recommend killing time at Del Amo mall or Tokyo central down the street. (Just give yourself time to go back before they give your table away) I wanna say this is one of the larger establishments compared to the others in OC. Lots of tables and booths, doesn't feel cramped and also clean. I was weary about the taste comparison with OC locations but glad to report it tastes the same. Thanks for opening one in Torrance.

Not sure if it was just bad luck or what, but I noticed people who arrived after us were getting seated before us, which was frustrating. If it wasn't for that, I would've easily given this place 5 stars. Once we got inside, everything changed. The service was amazing -- servers and bussers were constantly checking in, refilling drinks, and making sure we had everything we needed. Easily 10/10 service once you're seated. The food? Delicious. Seriously, no complaints there. Just a heads up: if you don't like garlic, this might not be your spot because they don't hold back. But overall, the flavors were on point and definitely worth it. They really don't have much competition in what they do. Just wish the front-of-house experience matched how great everything else was.

At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.
