    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. :)

It was a busy day for Mul Naeng-Myeon but they conveniently had a couple tables for us. They can get busy, and there was a line forming as we were eating, so it is understandable if the service can seem a little pushy at times, and this comes out in very subtle ways (i.e. There's no AC, only a small fan. If they want you to leave, they'll position the fan away from you). Cold water is also only available upon request, as well as extra napkins. Otherwise, you'll be wiping your mouth with a one-ply napkin the whole time. The banchan was great. I especially loved the onions and perilla leaves. The kimchi tasted fresh and tangy, but the radishes were a bit too sweet and cut very clunky. The Naeng-Myeon was good; it tasted very heavily of sesame, and not much else. The meat was also pretty tough to chew. Very filling, but expensive for the amount of meat you get. Definitely made use of the vinegar and mustard, which they eventually took away to give to another table. I'm thinking I just ordered the wrong thing and came on the wrong day. I saw what other people ordered, and it looked delicious, always served with enthusiasm. Next time, I'll have what they're having.

We ordered the galbi combo with spicy tofu. Soup was under seasoned and inedible. The galbi was the cheapest flaken cut you can buy at the Korean market. Its was fatty and full of gristle and was not cooked and was raw in the middle. The staff in Korean were bad mouthing and so sour working there it was sad. If you under staffed and unhappy then go to the back and scream and cuss but Why are you so sour and make sure the customers can hear you while passing by with the food and complain it's too busy ? There was one elderly lady maybe in her 80s with possibly her two daughters. They were sitting there for at least 45 minutes when the waitress came up and said I just want to double check your order that's when they realized that the waitress didn't even put their order in they were saying in Korean that please don't leave. Granny is here and we will get the food out as soon as possible and yet as they were leaving the table, you can see them with a smirk on their face. It was disgusting. The worst part is isn't actually even over there must've been a table of 20 across from us celebrating a birthday and they were there before we were and they must have been served at least an hour after us and the waitresses were so rude to them. I felt so bad for that party, but they looked so laid-back. I don't know if they really even noticed or cared. We ended up trying to pay for 10 minutes to get out of there and finally just got our own containers from the weight station a plastic bag and as they saw that we were leaving they finally took our payment Maybe this was an off night maybe there was a different cook in the back maybe they were so busy that they just couldn't pay attention to flavor any of their food or cook it thoroughly. Maybe they were short and someone called in for staffing. All I know is everyone with the prior reviews seem to have great service and food, but this is definitely not what we experienced and definitely not what the table behind us or the table in front of experienced This was by far hands-down, the worst experience. Hopefully this never happens to you cause we'll never come back.
