Pho Hut is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant in Glendale. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. Their pho is outstanding--the broth is rich, comforting, and easily some of the best I've had. The nem (Vietnamese spring rolls) are also delicious and a must-try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What makes this place even more special is the owner, who always makes us feel at home with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is friendly and genuine, which keeps us coming back. Their rice combo plates are fantastic, especially the pork chop, which is perfectly seasoned and cooked. I also highly recommend the vermicelli dishes--they are flavorful, generous, and satisfying. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food in Glendale, Pho Hut is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! read more

This is my go-to spot for pho. I've yet to find another place closer to home that matches the quality this restaurant offers. Prices may have gone up slightly since my first visit, but overall they've remained pretty reasonable. Parking is located behind the building, and it is paid, so just keep that in mind. I've ordered both takeout and dined in, and consistency is key with this place--they deliver every time. I absolutely love their egg rolls. They're hearty and come with a piece of lettuce to wrap them in, which I had never experienced before. Now I can't go back--it adds a freshness and crunch I didn't realize I was missing. I usually go for their build-your-own bowl because I love the combination of thinly sliced brisket, shrimp, and steak--basically a surf-and-turf in a bowl. Their chicken pho is like a warm hug when you're feeling under the weather. Anytime I feel a little off, this is the place I want to go to feel better. The staff is always friendly, kind, and very attentive, which makes the experience even better. read more

Grabbed chicken pho to go. Ate it around 10:00-10:30 by 2am I had horrible food poisoning. This was on Monday evening the 13th of April. Lost a day of work and ended up in the ER last night due to stomach pains. read more

*this review is just about the viet coffee* My guy wanted some viet coffee so we made a stop here. I'm super picky with my viet coffee, but I enjoyed the one from here. Not the best I've had, but I ended up drinking more of it than I had planned. I'm definitely not normally a coffee drinker. Would like to come back here to try the food sometime. read more

The Original: Why Pho Hut is the Only Heart You Need in Glendale ------ A good bowl of pho will always make me happy, take me to that special place where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts." Anthony Bourdain was right, of course. It's a special kind of magic. But you don't find that special place in a sterile, centrally-kitchened, corporate-optimized noodle factory. You find it in places with grit. Places with heart. You find it behind an unassuming glass storefront on the boulevard, under a simple green sign. In Glendale, that place is, without question, Pho Hut. The First and the Few // They aren't newcomers riding a trend. Pho Hut is the O.G.--the original pho spot in Glendale, holding it down since 2007. They are specialized practitioners, not generalists trying to please everyone. When you speak to the owner, you immediately understand the philosophy that drives the place: "There is no bad food--only food made with or without heart." His mission is beautiful and simple: use this food to educate the community on what real Vietnamese cuisine is supposed to taste like. The Vibe and the Fuel // [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is exactly what it needs to be: clean, simple, and functional. Wood-paneled wainscoting, hanging industrial-style lamps, and a few canvases of fishermen casting nets at sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a dining room built for eating, not for Instagram. Before the main event, you get your mind right with a deeply roasted, unforgivingly strong, and beautifully sweet Vietnamese iced coffee. It's a pulse-quickening caffeine hit that wakes up the palate and sets the stage for the heavy lifting to come. The Daily Labor of Love // While the big chains are busy maximizing efficiency with pre-made, industrialized broths shipped in plastic bags from a central facility, Pho Hut is engaged in a daily labor of love. They make everything from scratch. Every broth is created daily, simmering and developing over 20 hours. It is a painstaking, exhausting process, but you cannot fake that depth. It isn't optimized for profit; it's optimized for taste. The Specialist's Table // If you want the titans of texture and flavor, this is your table. We're talking pho with melt-in-your-mouth Filet Mignon and massive, rich Beef Ribs that make standard cuts look pale in comparison. The tripe and tendons are masters of their craft--tender, yielding, yet still retaining that necessary, authentic bite. But the absolute hidden gem of Glendale? The Oxtail. If you know, you know. It is rich, cartilaginous, and deep--a treasure buried at the heart of the original spot. The Ritual // There is a beautiful, necessary ritual when the steaming bowl finally hits the table. The tabletop battle station is already prepped: Sriracha, Lee Kum Kee Hoisin, and chili paste standing at attention. The process is critical. You take that side plate of vibrant, fresh herbs and plunge every single basil leaf and crisp bean sprout deep into the hot broth. You aggressively squeeze the citrus and drop the spent hull right in for that sharp, acidic punch. The jalapeños? Those are eaten separately on the side--a necessary, raw heat that accompanies every complex bite of meat and noodle. The Verdict // The service here completes the experience. It has a personal touch that you rarely find anymore--it feels less like a transaction and more like a relative bringing you a bowl at a family gathering. If you are seeking a bowl that will truly take you to that special place Bourdain spoke of, skip the chains. Go to the original. Go to Pho Hut, watch them work, and eat a bowl made with a damn heart. read more

If you we want yo have a bad experience go to this restaurant We visited a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Hut in Glendale, California, hoping to find an authentic local Vietnamese spot, especially since my husband and I love Vietnamese soups. We ordered the largest soups for ourselves and a friend and everything was ordered politely and respectfully.When the soups arrived, we were given only two very small slices of lime and part of another small piece, which was clearly not enough for three large bowls of soup. So we calmly asked for some extra lime. Instead of a normal response, the waiter, a man who always wears fake luxury brand clothing, brought two large plates filled with cut limes, far more than what we asked for or needed. What shocked us was not the amount, but his behavior. He aggressively pushed the plates toward the table, almost slamming them down, in a very rude and hostile way.We were all stunned. We looked at each other, confused, wondering what just happened and why he reacted like that. It was extremely uncomfortable and honestly a behavior I have never experienced anywhere else in my life. Neither my husband nor our friends had ever seen anything like it. We had done nothing disrespectful, said nothing rude, and simply made a normal request.I later asked another staff member, a female waitress, if everything was okay with him. She replied, "Don't mind him," which made it clear that this behavior is known there. That made the situation even more upsetting. We live in the United States, and basic customer service and respect should not be optional. We did not go there expecting free food. We went as paying customers, treated the staff politely, and even left a full tip despite the way we were treated, simply because we believe in proper manners and respect.Unfortunately, this was not a one time experience. When we went there again, the same waiter behaved in a similarly rude and disrespectful way. I believe he is an employee, but I truly do not know who hired him, what qualifications they saw in him, or whether he is a family member or even the owner. I honestly hope he is not the owner, because the way he treated us was unacceptable.There are many Vietnamese restaurants out there, and we have had wonderful experiences at other places where we were treated with kindness and respect. Poor service like this only hurts the restaurant in the long run. I hope that if the manager or owner reads this, they take this seriously and make sure no other customers have to go through such an unpleasant experience. We will not be returning, but I genuinely hope others are spared from having the same experience. If I could, I would give this place a zero star sadly we don't have that option read more

Brisket pho was decent, but not amazing. The eggrolls were really good and we also got chicken wings which were surprisingly the best thing we ordered! Both were extremely crispy, even as takeout. Probably wouldn't re order the pho but I would try other things on the menu. read more

Great pho spot on Brand in Glendale. The ambiance itself is a typical pho place, no frills. The crispy egg rolls were fresh and delicious. I had the seafood pho and my friend had brisket and steak pho. The regular portions were a good size. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I usually prefer, but with some Sricha sauce, it was nice and flavorful. Service was super quick and friendly. read more

We've been here a couple of times since my daughter loves pho. We usually get the Pho Hut special, egg rolls, and spring rolls plus milk tea. Food is flavorful even the condiments (peanut sauce and vinegar for the rolls). Service is fast too. We really like it when the soup is served hot! Price is reasonable and portioning is just right. read more

Owe Pho Hut my life. Went in deathly hungover and came out a brand new person. Food was excellent

Ordered the Salad Rolls and Steak Bahn Mi on the cashiers suggestion for about $20. The spring rolls were big and packed full of tofu, but it was almost entirely shredded lettuce which was disappointing. Bahn Mi had a good flavor and had a lot of gristle. I ordered to go and it took a while for it to come out, but the restaurant was quiet and had the original Sonic Cartoon playing so it was a nice wait. read more

I'm giving this a bad review for one reason. Hair. I've ordered take out and have dined in here many times. But the last order I had was unpleasant because I found 5 grey hairs in my vermicelli. The food has always tasted really good, but I ignored one hair, but by the count of 5 hairs, I just couldn't continue trying to go slow and search for hair. I hate leaving this review. read more

Didn't know they opened a second location! And in Glendale no less! We came here after the zoo. We were all feeling sick and pho always hits the spot. This new location is on a busy street where even on Sundays you have to pay. We got there around 11:30ish and it wasn't too busy but there were a few patrons there. It took a little bit to get our waters and order taken. My hubby got the special and I got the rare steak pho and extra noodles for my daughter. We have been ordering pho to go so I was pleasantly surprised when they brought out a small bowl of noodles and soup for her. All was delicious and this was as good as the other location! read more

We have been frequenting this restaurant for many years. I was surprised to realize we had never reviewed it. It's a no frills place with very good food.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It makes for a nice no frills dining experience, especially since their food really is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Metered parking on street in front and in lot in back.

i wanted to find a new pho spot for myself and after reading the positive reviews i am so glad I decided to come and give this place a try!

Overall it's pretty solid. I got the steak and brisket pho along with egg rolls. The egg rolls were delicious and had a strong pepper flavor to it. The pho broth was on the lighter side compared to other places. I had to add stuff to it to bring it to life. Serving sizes were very generous and service was extremely fast. The place was clean. It would be nice to have all the chili/hot sauces on each table vs having to ask or grab one from a table not using it. Parking was a little rough since it was rush hour. read more

I'm a Pho lover and I'm really picky about where I go to have it. Pho Hut has been one of the spots I've been going to a couple of times because I feel like it tastes closest to authentic Pho when I'm not in the SGV area. The location itself is easy to find. There's plenty of paid parking lots in the area and street parking as well. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and clean with lots of tables. Service is good too, no complaints there. The previous times I've been here the Pho is great and flavorful, comes out piping hot which is best. The last time I was here, I came right when they opened. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet and added Meatballs and my partner ordered the Oxtail Pho. I think the downside of all of this was that the pho broth wasn't super hot when we ate our food and the oxtail he ordered could have been cooked longer because it wasn't tender at all. Kind of frustrating when you pay for a large bowl of oxtail pho for over $20. He ended up not eating much of it. We also ordered Chicken wings. It was nice and crispy but totally lacked in flavor. I guess the sauce makes up for the lack in taste. Overall their portion sizes are pretty generous, but I was disappointed in eating lukewarm pho the last time I was here. Enjoy! read more

Got the pork banh mi with any drink combo! I went with the Viet coffee and had a satisfactory lunch. The coffee was very strong, as expected of Vietnamese coffee, but theirs was especially strong during my visit. The pork in my sandwich was delicious, juicy, and my favorite part! Other than that, I think there was not enough mayo/sauce and the vegetables were not pickled enough. Visited this place with my friend, whom had a wonderful time previously. Concluded that the coffee wasn't as bitter and the bread harder than the perfect fluffy crunch it was for him last time. It's a very chill place and wasn't busy when I went nor when my friend went last! read more

The good: It's convenient to get to if you're in the area. And to be honest, convenience is kinda important for me. The so-so: Overall, the pho was just okay. The broth and noodles weren't terrible, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get pho here. The bad: There were a few things. The meat was all clumped together and it was difficult to tell what was what (I got different cuts of meat). The one server was hidden behind a recessed counter, so when you walk in, you aren't seen and won't get seated unless you walk through the restaurant to let them see you. Which, no big deal, but the restaurant was pretty empty when I was there, and still, aside from bringing my food, the server didn't really do anything. Didn't seat me, didn't add water to emptying cup, didn't bring my bill. Oh, they did give me a menu, so there was that. It felt like bare minimum service. They had a banh mi deal that was for to go orders only--I asked if I could add it to my bill and just take it to go. Server said no. Not sure why. I guess because it was only for completely to go orders, and I had eaten something at the restaurant? The server just said I would have to place a new order (that was to go) in order to get the deal. I didn't. read more

Visiting the area and was looking for a Pho place that is still open after 9pm. This place was but that's about it. Ordered the pho with oxtail. Soup was overly salty. Also ordered seafood soup, no cilantro but it still came with it. Service was not friendly. Server barely said three words to us. Not too patient with any questions. We won't be back. read more

Pho Hut - Pho with oxtail - Vietnamese Near Me - Glendale, California

After a long day at Universal Studios, we decided to get some Pho before going back to the hotel in Glendale. Most of the pho restaurants in Chinatown close early except this one near our hotel open until 10PM. There's no parking on the street, only in the back and we do have to pay for parking, quite hard to find a space since it's dinner time. There's rear entrance so it's easier than going around to the front restaurant. The restaurant is simple and clean, 2 seating area divided by a wall, we got to sit in the back. The service is nice and attentive. The prices are as high as in the Bay Area but it's OK until the food came out. I ordered Pho with flank, tendon and brisket, my daughter likes tripes and steak, my wife ordered the special and my son ordered his favorite bo luc lac (shaken beef with rice). One thing I dislike VN restaurants is on a slow day, they try to save money by skimming the meats, flank beef were all broken pieces due to over cooked and cut too thin, these should be thrown away but they stuff it on my bowl. My daughter was shaking her head, she found 3 little string of tripes. I ordered the large bowl and there are only a few pieces of meat, broken flank and over cooked tendon. My wife special bowl somehow she had some meats. My son got away with shaken beef which is sweet and not to bad, but when I asked if you would come back here again for this, he said no. The pho broth is actually good, lots of veggies, everything is fine except the kitchen dispersing meat badly. To me, any restaurant that's skimming a few cents for meats should not be in business. I prefer to pay more and have a decent meal after a long day of play or work. read more

Staying in Glendale for the weekend after checking in to our hotel, we were in search of something nearby and open late. Located off a busy intersection in Glendale, you can find public parking behind the restaurant for $1.50 an hour. There's also a back door entrance from the parking lot so you don't have to go all the way back to the front. I ordered one of my favorite go-to's from any Vietnamese restaurant, a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork, shredded carrots/cucumber, scallions, and egg rolls. Very generous amount of food packed into the bowl I had. I actually had my doubts about being able to finish it all! Food was delicious and priced very fair for what you get. My kids had the pho combo that comes with 2 egg rolls, also a great deal. read more
