    Phở Combo
    Matt O.

    The portion size was pretty decent for the price. We ordered the large and I couldn't finish all of the noodles and the broth. They didn't have chicken egg rolls when we went so we had to order the veggie ones. They were aite. The soup broth wasn't that flavorful and I was a little disappointed. The server/cashier was great though. Checked in periodically and got us more basil! The room they put us in was nice and sectioned off from the rest of the restaurant but it got a little hot in that corner.

    Love this place!! Always has a calm and welcoming ambience! Food is consistently delicious and with a new cafe menu!! Lunch is always pleasant

    Lunch Special with egg roll and house iced tea
    Jenn G.

    I first heard about Pho Ever when I was watching a food and travel YouTube video and the YouTuber mentioned Pho Ever in Gardena. A pho spot in the South Bay? I'm there! What made me even more interested in checking this spot out is they have a lunch special on weekdays . For $13.85, one can get a lunch special with pho (choice or rare steak or well done brisket or half/half), a vegetable egg roll and house iced tea. You can pay extra to substitute other drinks like Vietnamese iced coffee. The lunch special is a pretty good deal! The pho is the main star. It's packed with lots of noodles and tender beef. I was quite impressed and also quite full once lunch was over. The pho size can easily be split into two meals. The vegetable egg roll is a nice add; though it is nothing too special. I do like that they serve it hot and fresh. As for the house special iced tea, it really is just regular unsweetened iced tea. Overall it's nice to find a pho spot that has lunch specials. I'll definitely be back again on another weekday!

    Always a delicious spot to come with my wife, love the little rooms aways from people, service is okay but overall food is always delicious

    My last visit was 7 years ago and I didn't leave a review. Here's what happened during my visit today. Ordering system is easy as you specify with the host if dine in or take out. You place your order and pay right away. I guess this deters the dine and dashers. It's nice to be able to choose to eat in a booth where you can enjoy the meal quietly. Decor of the place is nice and the place is clean. They do give a good amount of tripe and brisket; sadly the broth is lacking in depth and the broth is not piping hot. Their broth is also a little sweet. They use little MSG as confirmed with staff/employers. I bit into 1 of the meatballs and the temperature was cold in the center! It's as if they get them straight from the fridge and flash Blanche them because usually meatballs are supposedly simmering on the top of the pho pot. I'm disappointed to say this, but I cannot certify the "Pho" at the establishment. I'm being nice with the 3 stars to not drastically affect the establishments rating. Almost 20 dollars for a large bowl of pho... I could only imagine if I paid lunch special price... could my meal been worse? I still tipped 20% even with the unpleasant meal today. I hope the chefs have a thermometer to check their product before releasing to future patrons regarding these issues.

    why did I not come sooner? Authentic pho , beautiful deco and feels homey, Asian flare. Met the owner, Sandy and super sweet . I took the pho home and my daughter loves it. She said " I haven't been to Vietnam yet, but I would imagine that's what their pho would taste like." Definitely going back.

    Ordering, paying, and tipping all before you get your food. HUGE RED FLAG!!
    Michael B.

    My father in law insisted we come here because he said it was really good. He also failed to mention that this was years ago. As soon as we entered we saw a sign saying you had to pay before being seated. Red flag!! Paying before you even had a taste of the food rang alarms in my head. Asking for a tip before service has even been rendered is the most ridiculous thing ever. Alot of places do this and it needs to be changed. Tip after services have been rendered. The workers here at least the 4 that I saw were all extremely young. They looked like they all belong in high school. They were very slow in anything they did. During my whole time here I the resturant the phone kept going off and they ignored it quite a few times. The inside of the resturant nice and clean, no complaints from me. My wife used their bathroom but the door did not lock so I had to stand outside which is annoying and not suitable for any ladies wanting to use the restroom. The food took quite a long time to come out. We sat down for awhile before the appetizers came out. 2 of us got the pho lunch special and it comes with a fried veggie eggroll. It took 15 minutes just to get 2 veggie spring rolls which were fresh and hot. When taking a bite out of them the inside was just mushy veggies and tasted like they were soaked in soy sauce. Then the spring rolls came out and they looked ok. After tasting they were decent. My only complaint about them is there wasn't enough peanut sauce, just a little dish not enough for all of our rolls. My wife ordered the combination fried rice. It came and it looked nice and hot. Upon tasting it for myself it tasted extremely salty. The proteins in it (Chinese sausage,shrimp,chicken) were almost inedible with the exception of the Chinese sausage. The shrimp was extremely over cooked and the chicken was cut thin and wide, like jerky and was just as dry as jerky. My FIL and I ordered the combination pho. The pho was extremely lackluster and was missing some components commonly in combo pho (pho dac biet) it was missing tendon,flank and meatballs (sometimes not always in pho dac biet) The meat to noodle ratio is extremely terrible, had at least 8 bites of noodles left and no more meat. The broth was so bland no flavor at all except for the over abundance of sweetness from the sugar. Being part vietnamese myself I love alot of pho whether its super delicious or just ok. This pho is not even in the "just ok" realm its terrible, its a disgrace to pho everywhere. Even if you are the type to put Hoison/Sriracha in the broth it will not save it. FIL says this place uses to be good but I guess things have changed since his last visit all those years ago. You could pick almost any other pho restaurant and I am 99.99% sure it would be better than here. If you value your time,money, and taste buds please stay clear of this place by any means necessary.

    I've been coming to Pho Ever in Gardena for over 10 years, and it's still one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants! Their food is always delicious and consistent. I usually order the rare steak pho, but this time I tried the tofu banh mi and the sampler spring rolls -- both were fresh and so tasty. The servers are friendly and welcoming, and I love their comfortable booth seating. Unfortunately, they forgot our order, so we ended up waiting about 50 minutes for our food.

    For starters the atmosphere as soon as you walk in feels a bit like home. The decor is really unique and in a way transports you to a new place! The booths are really cool and give you and your party a sense of privacy and VIP access. The customer service was really great. Very kind, honest and friendly. The food was 10/10!!! I've never had a Ban Mi like this before!! So so flavorful. The meat was tender and juicy. The vegggies were crisp and crunchy. The bread was toasted to perfection make it possible to dip in the side dish. Holy cow this was good! My daughter usually orders the chicken pho which was delicious but she ended up finishing the second portion of my ban mi after trying it for the first time. Love that she tried something new! We all enjoyed our masks very much, and made plans to return in two weeks to try other dishes! If you're ever in the area I highly recommend. Sandy is an amazing leader doing great things with the place!

    I literally haven't seen a lunch special for $14 ever since I've moved to LA five years ago. I couldn't believe it and had to take a picture of the sign to let my friends know I've been indulging myself in various Vietnamese restaurants in LA and the South Bay, and by far, this one stood out as one of the most authentic. It's a no frills restaurant aka not much ambience, but the food makes up for it. All the servers are nice and sweet, a little shy because they're early twenties though!

    What we got at 12:10pm 8/18 see next pictures of what it normally looks like!!!! This was not mild
    P A.

    Unfortunately we loved this place but as of today NO Thank you. We had an incorrect order and the restaurant staff refused to replace it! We have ordered here a ton of times and I have receipts. But today was an insult! grabbed lunch for myself and hub got the food and it was tasteless & not mild brisket pho isn't clear like chicken broth and if you know you know the brisket pho is dark red and flavorful. We tasted it and said ohhh no waited until they reopened. Wait staff refused to replace it and offered chili oil. Also accused us of eating the food. Like wait are you SERIOUS it's terrible. This sucks because I had a great convo with the owner manager! Unfortunately handling loyal customers this way isn't ok! Sad we will have to move on! Good luck

    Ph Oxtail. Flavorful!
    Julio V.

    Just enjoyed a pretty good bowl of Pho at this location! We got the spring roll sampler, shrimp and oxtails phos. All were great! Really enjoyed the pork spring rolls and the peanut sauce. Flavorful in the soups. Unexpectedly sweet but goes well with the spiciness. Oxtail wasn't fall-off-the-bone tender but still pretty flavorful. The location has a traditional look and feel. A bit smaller than expected but we got sat right away. Service was good and attentive. Will be returning to try other bowls!

    Fat from two pieces of oxtail
    Jenine Y.

    The pho here is decent. Soup had a good flavor. I ordered the oxtail and they left way too much fat on the pieces. Otherwise it was tender. The service was great.

    Anyone know if the dinning room is open again, yet? I stopped going a while ago, because Pho to-go is just not the same to me.

    YES THEY ARE OPEN JUST HAD LUNCH THERE LAST WEEK.

    Any gluten free options?

    Most items here are gluten free, if you don't use soy sauce.

    Can I ask for the seafood or shrimp pho with vegetarian broth?

    The options are between vegetarian and beef broth here. Just be aware that the seafood and chicken pho are served in the beef broth unless you state otherwise. 😁

    I'm not able to call them for some reason, but is the vegetable broth gluten free?

    Yes, both noodle and the broth are Gluten Free

    Is this business under new ownership?

    Nope, it's still the same old us. My father and I are just working on our franchise location in West LA. So I apologize for the unfamiliar faces, but my sisters, Veronica, Josh, and the rest of our great staff are there holding down the fort. I hope… 

    What are the best spring rolls?

    Try the grilled pork sausage spring rolls. :)

    Took a chance coming here with no prior research. My friends were visiting from the east coast and…read morewanted Viet food and this was one of the few that was opened on a Sunday and early enough. I was able to grab a table immediately around 11am before the afternoon lunch rush set in. Thank goodness because it got busy really fast. The restaurant itself isn't very big so there aren't many tables. We got garlic fries to start with. Ordered it because other tables all ordered it, must be good. And yes they were very good. Perfectly crispy with a touch of garlic. I didn't love the lychee drink we got. We got the bun bo hue and it was surprisingly very very good. It's got all the staple pieces even the blood cubes. My friend got a shaken beef and she devoured the whole plate lol. Also got a pho and she enjoyed it too. The food is so so good here and I can see why they have a second location. Very authentic and just good affordable Vietnamese food that hits! We left the restaurant and we are standing around outside because one of my friends ordered a sandwich to go. 10 minutes passed and the waiter comes out and asks who dropped a $100. I knew immediately it was me while I was fumbling my around trying to pay the bill. They could've kept it, I'm so impressed with their honesty and integrity.
