My pho noodles were all chopped up and the soup tasted like soap. Average service but the restaurant looks little nicer than average.

Love it, great food. I love that they also have a diverse team working here.. Vietnamese, blk, Hispanic read more

I got seated the place is empty I asked if I can get a booth and they say no because it might get busy so then I ask a manager because the place is literally empty and she repeats it might get busy. she's worried about the customers she might get rather than the ones here already. Was excited to try this place for the first time, but I can't support a place that makes me feel like a last priority read more

One of the best pho restaurants I've been to in the South Bay! My friend and I ordered veggie egg rolls, charbroiled chicken spring rolls, salt and pepper fried shrimp, and shrimp pho. The charbroiled chicken spring rolls had a lot of flavor! Especially good with the peanut sauce! The salt and pepper fried shrimp was HEAVENLY! The breading on it was different from other places and the homemade honey mustard sauce was such a good compliment! The fried onion that came with the shrimp were amazing as well! The pho was great as well! Can't go wrong with pho! What really impressed me about the place was that they have individual sauce dishes for the egg rolls! I know that sounds trivial but most pho places just give you one and you have to share but I appreciate a place that doesn't promote double dipping! Also, the waiter gave us a great tip on how to eat the egg roll like a taco with the lettuce! I never knew that (don't hate on this noob!) ! So I would totally recommend this place ! And I am definitely coming back!! read more

Mehhh. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my mother and girlfriend. We were in the area and figured to give this place a shot since many other Pho restaurants in the area happen to be closed on Sunday. When we first entered the restaurant we were greeted by a server that walked us over to a table to sit us down. When I politely asked if there was a booth available, she responded, "not right now.. I mean, that one over there is (she looks over to the other end of the room), I guess we could clean it but it will take a while". I said, "it's fine, we can wait for the booth", and she just walked away and proceeded to do her thing, seemingly annoyed as hell that I simply asked for us to be seated at a booth. Fast forward to ordering our food-- when we asked for extra lime they said it would be an extra charge, which of course, I said was fine. However, I've never heard of an extra charge for lime at a pho place. Pho restaurants are usually pretty generous with the side garnishes and this place is super stingy with them, hence why I even had to ask for more limes the first place. Did not expect I'd have to pay extra for that. With so many other pho restaurants in the area, I don't plan on returning here again. read more

This is by far, the best Pho spot I've had here in LA. I've been going here since pre-pandemic and quality is always five stars - even for take-out! My go-to is the rare steak with brisket and the wifey always gets the oxtail. I usually order the beef kid's pho for my 5-year old and watch her slurp it up. It wasn't until recently that I decided to order something else on the menu besides pho and got the banh mi with brisket. Best. Decision. Ever. It comes with a small cup of pho broth for dipping and let me tell you....dip that bitch!! My mouth was having an orgasm that was actually crazier than some actual ones that - cut that. It was DAMN GOOD. Totally recommend asking for two of those cups. Their pho broth is so effing delicious. If you're ever in the South Bay and looking for a nice, hot and delicious bowl of Vietnamese goodness, look no further! read more

Decent pho, but not the most flavorful in the area. One of the better pho places to order via ubereats though!!

Came here for the first time. Wait about 40 minutes for our food to arrive. I wouldn't recommend ordering the bun bo hue since it is too oily and they made it unbearable to eat. read more

Pho Ever is my favorite Pho spot period! The Pho has a nicely balanced broth that isn't too greasy or sweet. I also like that they automatically give me everything for the pho without me asking. The Pho also comes in various sizes so I usually order a extra large (Pho Tai) and that feeds 3 people comfortably. The service is plain, they take your order, give you a number, then bring your food. You eat your food, then when you're done take your number the the register and pay. read more

Would normally come here for the seafood pho but they discontinued it. This place is not how it used to be. RIP phoever. - David

Had the braised beef banh mi. Meltingly tender fatty braised brisket with the classic julienned pickles, cilantro, hot pepper (on the side) in a light bread roll PLUS a side of consomme. A banh mi beef dip! So juicy. So beefy. Needs the hot pepper for me with every bite to cut through the sweetness and richness without it. read more

I come here often really good pho. However today I decided to order shrimp fried rice but the ship was not cleaned at all poop still in tact. Which is safe to eat but gives the shrimp a very bitter taste read more

The vegan broth veggie ramen was soooooo good. It is dubbed my favorite pho. I was a bit scared because the broth was very clear and also many phos have water tasting broths if they're vegetable broth but this one was so tasty i was pleasantly surprised and they dont rip you off when it comes with vegetables and noodles. Usually im hungry still because theres not enough but this time i was so full and i wasnt even halfway done and the tofu mmmm it was like pan fried or something so it was a nice texture with the noodles. Usually places just leave it raw so that it's falling apart in the broth lol but yeah def come here read more

Why the 4 star?...Lets talk about everything else first. The food was very good. I had the brisket pho and added tendon. The chili oil and the sauces were a great compliment to the soul. The soup was very tasty and clear and good pieceS of tendon. My son had the kid pho (beef)....great portion and all it means is that it's clear broth, noodles and beef only or chicken. It has no cilantro or green onions floating around. The 5 meat rice plate was also very good and had great flavor. Soooooo, why the 4 star?...walked in with party of 4, plenty of tables available and still had to wait about 10-15 to be seated. Ohhhh, the Thai tea was also great!!.... read more

YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2017: 50/100 Most Vietnamese restaurants have a long line of appetizers to choose from, but I almost always get the usual - egg rolls or samplers (if it is being offered.) I guess I get tunnel vision when it comes to apps because that's as far as I go. Then, the discovery of the Banh Xeo. (aka the Vietnamese crepe.) I saw it featured at a food or cooking show, and thus began the search. Pho Ever has such great reviews, so why not start here. Boy this place didn't look like much from the outside, but I don't let outside appearances affect or influence anything. Walked in mid-week, mid-afternoon and the place was empty. I was immediately guided to a booth and handed the menu, but I straightaway voiced I was there for one thing only: the crepe. And a glass of water. (I didn't really have the need to look at the menu as I've taken a lot of time looking at it online.) The only other activity I saw was a worker mopping the floor. The place is pretty clean. The décor speaks Asian. Not too shabby. Since I was the only customer, it didn't take long for my food to get to my table. First off: it is HUGE. It is meant to be shared unless you have it as a meal (which I did.) I sliced off a piece, placed the pickled carrots and radish as well as mint and wrapped the bite with the lettuce. Dipped it in the sauce and... not bad. BUT (yes, unfortunately, there is a "but") I feel it needs a lot of work for the following reasons: ONE: Although I was told it's mean to have an overabundance of sprouts, this one just came with WAY too much. So much that I couldn't tell if the chicken and the shrimp were seasoned at all. TWO: They left the tail of the shrimp. It was an unpleasant bite - I hope they remove this in the future. THREE: The oil wasn't fully drained. By the time I got through the plate, the absorbent paper was soaked with it. Service was great, though, so I can't complain about that. Not that impressed, but I can't say I've had better since this is my first. This sets the bar for all the other Banh Xeo I will have in the future. I am coming back for the 7-item special. I'll most likely skip the crepe. read more

The food is sooooo good The lemongrass prom banh mi was perfection. The bread was not hard like some places, the meat was fresh, and it was the perfect amount of veggies. It came with dipping sauce on the side. I think it's just pho broth. I never dipped my banh mi before and I tried it for the first time here and it was soooo good. It made the bread soft and melt in my mouth. The seafood pho was really good. The calamari wasn't too chewy like I've had at other places. My bf ordered the beef pho and he said the beef was fresh and not too chewy as well. I will def come back here! read more

Had high hopes but instead I was let down. Ordered $100 of dinner for take-out from this place and tipped on top of it. They ended up forgetting my main entree and now they are closed so there's nothing I can do. If you go here for pickup make sure you double check the order as they can't be trusted to get it right. Also if you order the "medium" spice on the Pho, it'll melt your lips off so you might want to go with mild or no spice at all. One star for the pork spring rolls. Everything else was a fail. read more

Pho Ever Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Gardena, California

With so many Pho restaurants in the area, it's difficult to find one to review about. Fortunately, there are two I always go to if I am ever craving it. Pho ever is close to my job so this is a no-brainer. Been going here for years. Always have the brisket and rare steak and smother it with hot sauce and enjoy. But before I do I try the broth and I have to say it's one of the best-tasting broths I've had every time I go here. Their egg rolls are fantastic as well as their combination fried rice. Glad they are still power through covid and trying times. read more

While dining here the staff (including the owner) were cleaning the restaurant using harsh, foul smelling chemicals. They came and wiped down our booth with a dirty rag while we were eating our appetizers, mopped the floors next to us and seemed totally clueless that maybe their paying customers don't want to inhale bleach and chemicals and looking at dirty mops and rags right next to their table while eating and dining in their restaurant. When we told the server that we were leaving shortly after our pho arrived, she was only halfway apologetic. The owner was equally clueless and seemed baffled that we would not enjoy inhaling chemicals while dining there. Would never eat here again. read more

The pho was delicious, made to order and they made it really fast. Will definitely be returning to this place. I'm glad I found it. The servers were also really friendly. read more

If you ever need a quick Pho fix, then this is the place if you're in the area. We got their pork spring rolls as an appetizer and it was pretty delicious. I ordered the Combo pho, which pretty much comes with everything (rare steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, beef ball) and a regular bowl was just enough for me. The food here is pretty delicious, and prices are reasonable. Service is good too. Credit cards accepted. Plenty of parking. read more

I was in the mood for some pho on a Sunday afternoon and thought I'd give Pho Ever Restaurant another try. My first experience here was oustanding because the food was ooh soo delicious, and the service was superb! On my second experience, I assumed that the restaurant was sold to another owner, as the food quality had changed and they offered an entirely new menu. I learned at this visit that Richard doesn't own the restaurant. It's now owned by Mr. Loi. Here at my third try at the restaurant, I thought the food was okay. I'm not going to blast this review, as the owner was super friendly and sincerely wanted us to have a great meal! Thank you! We started with an order of Nem Nuong rolls (4 for $6.95). This was perhaps the highlight of my meal. The rolls were made fresh to order and was served with lettuce that was cut SUPER thin, which made the roll very easy to eat. The thin lettuce also gave it a fun texture! The dipping sauce was some kind of peanut sauce that was a bit on the sweet side. Grade: B+ http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/BE9n1NGLQGoz9bBOgi0b7g?select=sOtAPawoKXmjyB9CZ-lmSQ#bzu72iTmrDlHwFTys7wDkg We ordered spring rolls (4 for $4.95). Fried eggrolls made really well. Nice veggies, noodles, and pork made it super delicious and fun to eat. Served with romaine lettuce, a few sprigs of mint, and cut carrots. The egg rolls were really nice, but the accompanying veggies lacked. Grade: B. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/BE9n1NGLQGoz9bBOgi0b7g?select=sOtAPawoKXmjyB9CZ-lmSQ#IggpZ0O6l7ycBWt0GTRmEg Super Bowl Pho Dac Biet ($7.95). HUGEGAINORMOUSSIZE bowl of pho. I only ate 1/2 of it. This big bowl was filled with fresh soup, rice noodles, tripe, tons of tendon, brisket and rare beef. It was served with white sliced onions, green onions, and cilantro. I was a bit dissapointed in the pho, because the soup was a bit on the thin side and it was very very sweet. This pho looked well made, but I don't think I'll be ordering it again soon. Grade: C. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/BE9n1NGLQGoz9bBOgi0b7g?select=sOtAPawoKXmjyB9CZ-lmSQ#0Es5-zkXLyGnL1Pt_NDtoA Our second dish was the Shrimp and Grilled Pork noodle bowl. It was a nice sized portion of noodles and veggies, topped with grilled shrimp and pork. Refreshing. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/BE9n1NGLQGoz9bBOgi0b7g?select=sOtAPawoKXmjyB9CZ-lmSQ#biHutCQlXb5orwBvC-M4Dg I so want to give this restaurant a great review, but the food was average. Here's a couple of fair suggestions for the owners: 1) The timing of the food was poorly executed. Each dish (one appetizer, second appetizer, first meal, second meal, third meal) came out about 5-10 minutes of each other. The food got cold as we waited for everyone to get served. 2) The pho soup needs more depth. The broth tasted fresh and lacked flavor. The rest of the dish was outstanding - nice ingredients, very generous servings, and beautiful presentation. Food Grade: B. Service Grade: A- (SUPER FRIENDLY people work here!) Worth the Money Grade: B Overall Impression Grade: B. read more

I'm not Vietnamese, but I really do like Vietnamese food. Some of my friends even tease me that I should just find myself a Vietnamese wife so I can enjoy the cuisine at my leisure. Maybe one day ... But for now, I'll have to settle for places like Pho Ever Restaurant. For some strange reason, when the weather is warm out, I crave hot soups, like Ramen or Pho. Thanks to Yelp - on that particular afternoon, I ended up having Pho. And I enjoyed every last ounce down to the last spoonful of broth. So, left work early one day and found myself with my strange craving. Most Ramen places are closed until the dinner hour so I looked up Pho. I just went with the location that wouldn't take me too far out of my way, on my way home and Pho Ever is where I landed. This restaurant takes debit cards! I called ahead to ask because I've noticed that there are a good number of restaurants that take paper and plastic. Saved me a trip to my bank that would have taken me a little out of the way. Not to mention, I don't like having cash on me because I have the tendency to just spend it. Customer service was great here. Friendly and funny. I was even checked up on to see if I wanted anything else and to refill my water glass. I had the entire front room to myself so I could see that the restaurant isn't in the nicest of places. But I didn't experience any issues even from the group of guys hanging out in the parking lot near my car. By the way, lots of parking in the public lot in front. I liked the Pho and spring rolls I ordered and I even took my time savoring each bite and spoonful. The Pho had a sweet flavor which I didn't seem to mind and there were a decent amount of ingredients. I tend to always order the Dac Biet. I enjoyed the spring roll and had even contemplated ordering more to take home for a late night snack. Prices were reasonable and like I mentioned before - debit cards accepted. This place is on my list of place to go for Pho, when in the mood or until I find other places I like better. read more

Hot Pot in the South Bay! Let me repeat: authentic Chinese hot pot in my backyard! No more driving 35+ minutes to the San Gabriel Valley area for hot pot or a bowl of authentic pho! Pho Ever also offers pho as suggested by its name, but why stop there when you got a good operation going? Many types of Chinese and Vietnamese noodle dishes are available, crispy pan fried noodle, fried flat noodle (chow fun), and the ever popular vermicelli with various grilled meats. Menu also includes extensive rice dishes, ranging from the typical yang chow fried rice to hainan steamed chicken with rice. The bf and I tried the family style hot pot and were impressed by the comfortable dining experience and the quality of food. First, we were ushered into a small individual dinning room near the entrance. I think this is possibly as intimate as you can get in an Asian restaurant. For the price point, the restaurant is clean as a whistle and it is so very refreshing that they don't have food posters plastered on walls or windows. After the young lady took our drink order, the owner/operator greeted us and recommended items from a checklist that he feels are most suitable for hot pot. The available items are not too outrageous by comparison to some hot pot places in Monterey Park. On the list are some of the usual suspects: chicken breast meat, sliced rib eye steak, lamb, shrimp, mussel, fish balls, meatballs, tripe, tendon, tofu, Chinese veggies, different types of mushroom, and glass noodle. Admittedly, we were not too concern with the missing exotic items, like intestines, pork blood, pork kidney and such. There are three types of broth to choose from or you can opt for the half & half, two types in the pot; separated in its own chamber. We went with the half & half, Spicy Thai Tom Yum broth and the house original broth. Both were on point, not too spicy and the house broth was sweet and infused with gogi berries, sweet chinese dates aroma. Service was superb, the owner was friendly and chatted up with us in Cantonese. One of the best designed menu I've seen in an Asian restaurant in recent years. No spelling errors, easy to understand menu, dishes are separated by category and drinks are on the last page. To top it off, the menu is in 4 languages, English, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean. Appropriately catering to the South Bay demographics. read more

If you want late night food that is not fast food then Pho Ever is for you. Something that is healthy than fast food, and it's open late.

I very rarely give 5 stars. Most of my reviews are three stars. Today, I was truly impressed. I wanted Vietnamese, but haven't eaten it often because the rice noodles and rice quickly raise blood sugar. (Damn you, diabetes! You're gonna be beat!) But, I figured I could do some and then go work out so and bring it down. I saw that Pho Ever was open and they are advertising 30% off. I had to give them a try. The location used to be a cook-it-yourself Korean barbecue place. They haven't changed much about the place, even keeping the special cooktop tables. (I don't think they are operational anymore.) There are little private rooms for four and a sunroom-type area in front. The decor is hard wood, accented by vines, vases and a few paintings. There were maybe 500 people working today. They were all in a constant state of motion. I saw a guy just mopping the back, by the bathrooms. He was either wasting time or being completely thorough. At one point, I looked for a spoon and there were none in the tray on the table. I stood up and a young man ran over to me and asked what I needed. "You sit, I find. Relax!" That kind of shocked me, but I appreciated the eagerness. I ordered the P2: Pho large combo with rare slices of steak, well done brisket, flank, endon, tripe and meat balls. (Pho Dac Biet). It was quite a large bowl. I hesitate to see what the extra large bowl looks like. The broth was darker than I have ever seen in other pho shops, but it also had a depth of flavor that I have never encountered before. The noodles had a chew to them that was nice. The thin slices of beef were tender and had great beef flavor. The only thing that wasn't up to speed were the meatballs. They were super chewy and had no flavor at all. I was able to add the Thai basil, lime and jalapeno. What was missing was some cilantro, but that could have just been oversight. I don't eat tendon, but I like the flavor it can add to the soup, so I just push them to the side. I was excited to see that they have Banh Xeo, though I didn't order it. I got 2 spring rolls, instead. They were chewy with delicious shrimp inside. The real winner, though, was the peanut sauce. It was thick and full of pickled carrots and crushed peanuts. I added a bit of sambal to it, to kick up the flavor. I literally scooped the remaining bit out and ate it with my spoon. Yes, it was that good! I got an iced tea. Like many Vietnamese teas, the clear color belies its flavor. It was strong and refreshing. The most expensive thing on the menu is less than $8. I had the pho, the spring rolls and thetea were $9.05. I can't beat that! The owner gave me some business cards and asked me to give them to my friends. He said, "We need more customers." So, I figured, here is my way of "sharing" I will be back. Anyone want to join me? read more

The disappointment of coming here after being away for a few years makes me sad and mad at the same time.. I should have known when I walked in there was not one Vietnamese person in the restaurant... That was a telling sign already but still I chose to eat there with my family. We ordered the chicken eggrolls, combo pho, bun bo hue and chicken pho. Thr eggrolls were just ok and you can see they are being really cheap with the pho broths. I seriously doubt it if they even used in beef bones in their beef pho or bun bo hue. The awards are from years ago so they definitely need to take them down because the food was AWFUL... In addition we had 2 napkins between 4 people and had to put our egg rolls on our napkins instead of service platess. Sad to see how bad this business has gone down.. read more

For many years I would pass by this place and the name would always catch my eye. Finally got around to trying it out and I'm so glad I did! I love bun bo hue so much more than I like pho so I was happy to see that they offer it here! Theirs is really tasty and they aren't skimpy at all with the meat. I also really liked their nem nuong spring rolls! Delicious. I could get full by eating just two of them. I haven't had their pho yet but I'm sure it's great based on the reviews! I really love the layout of the restaurant. It gives a more private feel to it because there are walls that divide the tables on the sides so you get a bit more privacy. The customer service here is one of the main reasons I would choose to come here over other pho restaurants because they're friendly, fast, welcoming, and helpful! read more

The food wasn't the best tasting. Had to toss it out and just like that $18 went to the trass.

Ordered the Chicken Cha Gio, but the the wrapper didn't seem to be made out of the thin rice wrapper. It seemed more like the standard wheat based wonton skin which fries up rather soft. Not very impressive when compared with the fabulous Cha Gio from Golden Deli in San Gabriel or Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. The Nem Nuong which is a fresh spring roll that has a tranlucent rice wrapper covering which includes a sausage like pork spiced with garlic, black pepper & other herbs and lettuce, spearmint, carrots. rice vermicelli. The Nem Nuong was meaty & redolent with garlic, and it was tamed by the addition of green vegetables & a touch of refreshing mint. Dipping the Nem Nuong spring rolls into a thickened peanut sauce added even more Umami flavour. However, I also added Nuoc Cham or sweetened fish sauce into the peanut sauce to add even more meaty complexity. I can see why this would be the signature dish at Pho Ever. The waiter even took pride to tell us that many of the customers refer to Brodard restaurant in Orange County when relating to the Nem Nuong at Pho Ever. The Hainan Chicken Rice is originally from the island of Hainan which is a large Chinese Island off the southern coast of China. However, with the diaspora of southern Chinese in the past, Hainan Chicken Rice has been spread across most of Southeast Asia. The chicken is usually boiled at lower than boiling temperature in chicken and/or pork stock. The rice is cooked in chicken stock to add more broth-like flavour to the rice. My Hainan chicken was only white breast meat put over raw greens. A lightly yellow tinted cooked rice was served with the yellow tint supposedly from the yellow chicken oil based stock in which it was cooked. However, I couldn't detect that my chicken rice was cooked in a rich broth. A stronger tasting Nuoc Cham was included as the dipping sauce. The ice tea here is thankfully not Lipton Orange Pekoe tea, but it is a luxurious Jasmine tea redolent of the eponymous flower. The bouquet came through even though the tea was cold which means much tea was used to obtain this level of flavour potency. Pho Ever did not skimp on this detail. The owner & the waiter were both friendly & the service was good. They came by once in a while to check up on how we were doing or if we needed more of anything such as refilling of their elegant Jasmine scented ice tea, etc. Pho Ever is a good place for a quick nosh if you ever get a hankering for healthful Vietnamese cuisine. read more
