    *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.

    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 // 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. 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.

    I usually do build your own. I like both chicken and beef broth so it doesn't really matter which one. I order it with broccoli, tendon, and flank. The store is clean and the service is good and there is always a place to sit down, even on busy days.

    Two lime ‍

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

The focaccia was nice and thin and crispy, so as not to overload the rest of the sandwich. The balance between creamy sauce, juicy meat, crunchy arugula, and vinegary peppers, olives, and balsamic vinegar was perfect! The pesto was particularly delicious. I will say that the sandwiches are HUGE. One sandwich is plenty for two people, in fact they are given to you wrapped in two piece per order. Considering that they are so big, the price is actually not bad. I also got the banana pudding which was fluffy and light with a delicious vanilla and banana flavor. It reminded me of a sort of whipped cream texture that I had not had in banana pudding before but will surely crave from now on! The customer service was great. The people were very kind and efficient. 10/10

I read…read moresome of the reviews which seemed very exaggerated which created doubt...I was completely corrected. First bite to the last, the meal was delicious. We got a couple of hot sandwiches. A Pastrami and a Philly Cheesesteak which they recommended. It was unbelievable how good the sandwiches were. The rolls were warm and crispy, and the flavors were well balanced. The Pastrami had a brilliant balance between the mustard and pickle. The Philly Cheesesteak had the same brilliant balance with the meat and cheese that was in every bite. I was torn between the two great sandwiches. I'd have to say that this place has become, so far, my favorite spot for a Philly Cheesesteak and Pastrami. This place is a must return kind of place for me to stop by for a bite (even when I'm not hungry), and I can't wait to recommend or bring people here. Chefs made the sandwiches perfectly and were quick to get us our food. No private parking lot. No chairs but only tables to stand and eat your food, but it was worth it. Bring enough $ to tip handsomely, because I'm sure you'll want to.

    Just found this place through Instagram ads and decided to give it a try. Just for information,…read moretheir working hours are 9 AM-9 PM, 7 days a week. I mentioned this because we missed it on one of our attempts. Finally, on Sunday evening, my husband and I had a chance to visit Butcher and Booze. Very interesting store, with a delicious smell. There is a huge section of drinks where you can find very unique wines and alcoholic beverages. They also have a section of Japanese drinks, and in another corner, different kinds of unique seasonings, BBQ charcoal, and other BBQ supplies. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Next to the drinks section, there are several tables available indoors and two tables on the sidewalk for outdoor dining to enjoy your meals. Their food menu is very interesting, and we tried the Philly cheesesteak and pastrami sandwiches (which they prepare completely in-house from A to Z). The sandwiches were super delicious, juicy, and full of flavor. One thing that surprised me was the amount of salt they used -- it was exactly the right amount, and we didn't get thirsty after eating them. These sandwiches are some of the best we've tried so far, and I highly recommend giving them a try. I noticed a huge samovar (large kettle) and another kettle in the corner of the open kitchen, and I asked about them. Argisht, who noticed my interest and who I believe is behind the kitchen and the delicious food success there, started a very warm and helpful conversation with us and surprised us by serving cups of tea. The tea tasted super soft and delicious. If you have ever tried Middle Eastern tea, you will love this tea. Luckily, they are selling it in the store, if I am not wrong it was Sri Lanka tea, which I have never seen in any store around Glendale or Burbank. Thank you for the great food, awesome store, and very positive and friendly service. With just one visit, Butcher and Booze will become one of your usual spots, so don't miss it!

We decided to try buy some wagyu burger patties for the white elephant (we ended up winning these back during our white elephant - they were excellent!). The patties were juicy, rich, and so tasty! Can't wait to try other cuts! When we checked out, they offered us two small complimentary bottles of champagne and some produce from their refrigerated area. this was so kind of them to do so. This place is like your one stop shop - hot food, butcher, alcoholic drinks, liquor, and other cooking goods like seasonings, caviar, butter etc. Unfortunately they were not serving sandwhiches that day so we didn't get to try but we will definitely be coming back to try! Thanks so much to the staff and Butcher and Booze for treating us like fam.
