    #9 Pho Ga (L) $13.99
    Erik G.

    What We Ordered: -#9 Pho Ga (L) $13.99 -#12 Pho Nam (L) $13.99 My wife wanted pho, so we decided to try Pho Ga District since it was close by and my friend Cindy S. gave it a good review. Parking was a bit tough in the strip mall, but we found a spot on the side street. The restaurant was busy for a weekday lunch, but we were seated right away. I ordered the Pho Ga, but I wasn't impressed with the bone-in chicken; it was soft and rubbery, almost undercooked. The staff was friendly and helpful though. My wife ordered the #12 Pho Nam, and she loved the tender and flavorful beef. While we didn't enjoy the Pho Ga, we would definitely return for the Pho Nam. I'm still on the hunt for the best pho in the SGV! Hit me up with recommendations!

    My go to place for chicken pho and chicken rice. I usually get boneless chicken with dark meat.

    Was craving some pho, so ate here with my wife recently. I prefer beef pho so I didn't get the Pho Ga (but my wife did). Overall, the Pho was great, and so was the service. Great Broth. The ambiance is no thrills, but totally fine for a pho place in the SGV. Note: Smaller parking lot in a shared plaza. We had to park a little outside the plaza

    Steamed Rice Rolls

    We came to Pho Ga District on a Friday evening and found parking easily in the plaza. The restaurant wasn't too busy, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We tried the Gai Du Du Cho Bo (green papaya & beef salad) and the Banh Cuon (steamed rice rolls with shrimp). The salad had a slightly sweet dressing but overall a nice balance of flavors. The rice rolls were a bit watery and fell apart easily, but still enjoyable. A great spot to explore some lesser-known Vietnamese dishes -- worth checking out if you're looking for something different.

    This place has the most pure, clean, clear chicken broth soup base I know of in a noodle restaurant, simple but flavorful. Clear broth, chicken on the bone (or boneless breast cuts, your choice) and rice noodles. No frills homestyle flavor. They have a small menu centered mostly around their chicken, you can order it whole or half with noodles on the side, or a standard bowl of chicken pho ga. Hainan style chicken rice and some Vietnamese mainstays such as egg rolls, beef pho, and bun cuon round out their menu. The staff is attentive and always refilling drinks, adding condiments, and cleaning. They don't do dinner service so check their hours before going and parking is tight as it is a small shared lot with other businesses but worth the visit.

    One of the best chicken pho in the SGV! The broth was very rich, almost tasted like drinking a clean rotisserie chicken. It was hearty without making you feel too heavy. They were very generous with bean sports... that were boiled! Can always appreciate when the bean sprouts are cooked. It's a casual mom and pop shop with quick service for a nice and affordable lunch. Came for lunch on Saturday at 11:30 and got seated right away. By 12pm, the restaurant was packed and there was a waitlist starting.

    Hainan chicken

    Five stars for the chicken! It's a really small place, very friendly service and food was quick to come out. I got the chicken broth soup and my dad got the Hainan chicken rice. Both were delicious, highly recommend it. Please note the Hainan chicken is cold tho. Prices are average but parking is horrible. You can try to park on the street if the lot is full but it is a dead end narrow street. Not the best place for a meet up with friends due to limited space but amazing for a quick and comforting bite.

    Bahn cuon
    Eileen F.

    A little hole in the wall place that gets quite busy on the weekends. I came for the bahn cuon surprisingly, and it did not disappoint! My husband ordered a hai nan chicken that came with a delicious chicken broth, and I see why their main star here is the chicken. The chicken was juicy, tender, and that side broth had so much natural chicken flavor it was insane! I will definitely return to try their namesake dish.

    Pho Ga

    Came here right at 10am when they opened on a Wednesday, and I was surprised that there was a good bit of people in here. It's not a large restaurant at all, and as people have mentioned parking is very limited. I ordered the Pho Ga as well as the Banh Cuon, The Pho came out very quickly and it wasn't the biggest bowl I thought it was fair. I normally don't eat pho ga but beef pho or pho tai (which they also have). However, instantly very impressed as it was super clean broth with a great chicken flavor. They allow you to get boneless or bone in chicken I opted for boneless. Banh cuon was pretty good. My mom gave it a 8.5/10. Overall, great experience the servers were really nice could speak English and Cantonese.

    Pho ga boneless with fresh (wider) noodles, really fantastic broth!
    Jonathan W.

    This is certainly the best pho ga option in the SGV: very friendly staff (that can speak Cantonese and Mandarin in addition to English and Vietnamese), the broth is very comforting, and the sauces to dip the chicken are the perfect accompaniment. I only wish there was a congee option on the menu!

    I've passed by this restaurant a few times before but never dined here until last night. Service: We were seated right away and given some cups of water. I also noticed the waiters all stand by the cashier area so it's very easy to get their attention. Food: We ordered a half chicken, a large plain noodle soup, a banh cuon, and egg rolls. The chicken and noodle soup came out so fast. I like how they have sauces on the table so you can help yourself. I was not a fan of how they chopped the chicken because some pieces of bones were so tiny that I almost accidentally swallowed. The noodle soup was so good though. I can see myself finishing a whole bowl in the winter. I wasn't a fan of the banh cuon but my fiancé really liked it. The egg rolls were so hot and crispy. It actually came out last so we were busy eating everything else before we started eating them but they were still very very hot. Parking: They share a small parking lot with the other stores in the strip mall. A lot of the parking spaces are reserved for other stores. Also the parking spots are tight. Overall a very decent pho ga restaurant. I will definitely be back.

    Decent chicken pho. My family loves their steamed whole chicken that we like to get to-go. The steamed chicken's meat is a tougher texture and it reminds my family of the chicken back in Cambodia because the chickens here in America are more plump but have a softer texture.

    Large pho ga, boneless chicken, medium wide rice noodles
    Vivian L.

    Best pho ga near me so far. Service is quick and friendly. Pho ga was perfectly done. I really enjoy the medium wide rice noodles. It's soft and slurpy. I like their sauces on the side to dip my chicken or to spruce up my broth. My favorite was ginger with the spicy soy. Simple and comforting of a meal. Pho ga is not as heavy as beef pho, but in a good way~ much lighter and clean tasting Lastly, my Thai tea was just filled with ice to the brim (like some places...) and not too sweet. It was perfect :) A pretty busy lunch spot, but tables move quickly. Support this small shop if you're a fan of chicken pho!

It is considered…read moreto be one of the best destinations for fresh seafood, with the accent on Chinese cuisine. What has shunned me from this place, is the distance and the traffic, from the SFV. Finally, I made the journey. And arrived for lunch, on a weekday. To come here and not order their iconic Signature dish, the House Special Newport Style Lobster, would be a sin. Imagine a trip that was almost 40 miles and an hour of traffic (one way), with no reward. It was time to experience the real thing. The signature dish. Walking in solo, I was given a booth. I liked that. On seating, I ordered a beverage to quench my thirst, catch my bearings and breath. Almost immediately, the servers kept bugging me to order. The place was barely 1/4th occupied. Whats the hurry. After all this, I had to repeatedly tell them, that i had already spoken with a server, regarding my order. Just wanted to relax first, catch my breath, sip my beverage. Coming here, I was aware that their tank lobsters would be in the 4-6 pound range. Good for, and ordered by, at least 3-4 people. So when I, as a solo diner, ordered a 4-pound lobster (with no other choice), just for myself, they began to leave me alone and give me more respect. The cut up wok prepared, House Special Newport Style Lobster, arrives wonderfully presented, with heaps of leeks, scallions and jalapenos. My kind of recipe. Truly unique and exceptional. There is no sauce, and only a mild flavor, yet tasty. My biggest concern here was (after reading numerous internet reviews), that the lobster would be rubbery and dry. Not so for me. I lucked out. Problem here is, while there is lots of meat (a 4 pound lobster will yield at the most, about a pound of meat), they do not have, or provide, the essential lobster cutlery, to do justice to this beautiful crustacean. I did ask though. They did not seem to care and told me to use my fork. LOL. Steamed rice is complimentary. So is a soup, with sweet and sour, being the only choice (I did not like this). Either way, my plan was to take leftovers (there was a lot), home, where I possess high class lobster cracking tools. And thank heavens I did. They were most useful, to crack and dig into all the lobster meat, that would have been inaccessible at the restaurant. With additional TLC, the leftovers held up well, to provide several additional lobster meals. Need to go back to try their enticing and reasonably priced variety of lunch specials (more seafood, choices minus lobster). Another sought after box on my list, is now checked.

Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back.
