    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!

    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.

    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

    Limited bean sprouts

    I think it's new owners. Now you have to order and pay before you step inside. We order the lunch special. First they brought out the bean sprouts with basil. Basil was old and the amount of bean sprouts were for 1 bowl compared to other pho restaurants. They brought out the egg rolls next then it took 27 mins to get 2 bowls of pho. There were only 2 tables with customers and they already had their order so not sure why it took so long. Pho broth was good but there was no tendon in either of our combo pho. I ate the eggroll and pho and honestly I'm still hungry ‍.

    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.

    Ph Well Done Brisket
    Katie R.

    Came in to: 1)satisfy a pho craving 2)catch up with a friend As someone who is picky about their pho ever since trying various pho restaurants in different countries, this did it for me. A broth that's rich, but not overpoweringly so; and meat that is cut expertly thin. The meat's texture pairs perfectly along the soft noodles. Served with classic pho toppings, it was a bowl that left me wanting to come back ASAP. Also the ambiance is very "hidden-gem-esque" with tables sectioned just partially out of sight to give the vibe of some privacy! Great for having bonding conversations over a bowl of hot soup! Went in around dinner time on a weeknight and it was not too busy. The staff was prompt in getting us seated in a nice spot and checked in occasionally to ensure we were taken care of. I can't wait to go back!

    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!

    Liam R.

    Delicious food and flavor, large portion sizes, fantastic service, and casual ambiance, nestled in an unassuming strip mall in Gardena -- this is a hidden gem for Vietnamese food in the South Bay!

    Ananza H.

    I've been here before and had a great experience the first time but my experience today was so bad. I came in around 1:30 and the food is great, always fresh and hot but the service for lunch today was absolutely awful. The young girl they had working was TERRIBLE as she did not greet me and had a lackluster attitude the entire time. She should not be working here. It was like she was sleep walking, would be on her phone, and it would take her 10 minutes to do simple tasks. The kitchen was also SO slow. This is typically a place I come to for a quick service and it took them 25 minutes to bring out my pho and an extra 10 mins to bring the singular APPETIZER egg roll. Did I mention it was empty!?? There was no urgency and absolutely no one was in there. (See photos) Management needs to get serious about their customer service. These workers are making this place look bad. You can tell when the owners are there and when they aren't. Staff today was terrible and treated customers poorly. Ugh do better!

    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… Read more

My son suggested we stop at Ghost Sando Shop before I dropped him and his fiancée off. Great idea. My wife and I shared the Kickin' Chicken: chicken, BLAST spread, chipotle adobo, melted mozzarella and sharp cheddar, topped with lettuce, pickled jalapeño, tomato, and white onion. It was delicious. The guy at the counter was friendly and welcoming, and even delivered our sandwiches to us as we sat outside at one of the shaded tables - it was pleasant if you need a spot to eat versus taking it to go. One thing I really like on a sando is shredduce. It just makes a sandwich taste better. Not sure why. Ghost got it right. It wasn't busy shortly after opening on a Sunday, which was nice.

The sauce was good but a tad bit excessive. The staff was very nice but the food took longer than expected. Maybe that's because of them making it fresh but it seemed a tad bit longer than I expected for a non busy time I went (11am). Atmosphere is just your "fast" casual with outdoor seating which be nice when it doesn't become too cold or hot weather wise.
