    Friendly servers. Food came out very quickly and with flavors. Definitely glad we gave it a try. Honestly 5/5

    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.

    Decent spot and good service. I tried their mixed seafood pho. I like their beef brisket pho better, but they're both good.

    Spring Rolls
    Taylor S.

    Normally things are fine, but I recently found a small hair in my spring roll. Doubt you can even see it, but thought it was something to share. It's not worth arguing with them about it in my opinion-- I can see it not going well AT ALL. I desperately wanted it to be my own hair, but it was tucked into the roll and my strands just don't feel and look that way--who knows maybe I'm wrong. That's the chance I take when eating out. I assume their hair is "clean", but still a bit disturbing. Ending up throwing out the other roll and rest of my pho. Good luck, I'm sure it's just a one-off, but likely my last visit, which I'm sure they couldn't care less about lol.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Crystal Appetizer Platter
    Cyn C.

    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!

    Egg Rolls

    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!

    So i am a bit confused about the photos here, because there is an actual restaurant looking place,…read moresome little cart and a food truck. Hopefully they are all related. My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.

Super yummy! - Rose Ddeok-Bokki: Loved the soft rice cakes in the creamy and spicy sauce. I would literally pay for the sauce alone. Adding cheese is a must. - Kimchi Fried Rice: Full of meat and flavorful. A great paring with the chicken. - Cheeseballs: Love these sweet, chewy, and cheesy balls. I need to buy more of these next time! The service here was great and the staff were nice and attentive. There was outside seating available which was nice and relaxing. A complimentary self-serve water station and a bathroom were available as well. For parking, there's a free lot in front. Overall, a great experience here!

This restaurant opened over 40 years ago in the 1980s. They have not changed their seasonings or recipes since then. A lot of their sauces and kimchee is made in house (and has not changed in over 40 years). This is probably the best Japanese BBQ experience I've ever had and I've had A LOT of BBQ experiences. My favorites are items you typically cannot get anywhere else. Their raw beef liver sashimi and their raw minced beef are amazing. It's really hard to find these creations. If you like liver, then you'll be an instant fan. If you're a little squeamish then you can always grill it a bit before you eat it lol Their cuts of meat are also a league above the rest. I loved them all! Their wagyu tongue, negi tongue, gokujo kalbi, tokujo ro-su, and pork belly are all worth writing home about. They also serve vegetables and salad to go with the BBQ. We also tried their yukkejan soup which is their spicy beef soup. It was very tasty. Savory and not too salty. Very well balanced. I'd eat this alone on a cold rainy day. The ambiance is busy with moderate noise. Lots of Japanese locals were there that night and were simply having an amazing time socializing. Overall 10/10. Definitely coming back!
