    Pho
    Kareem A.

    Always happy to eat pho here. It's fast, easy to find a table and tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of space and good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been here almost 10 times.

    I love banh mi sandwiches a lot and found this place nearby and it seemed to have good options . So I called them up for take out order for pulled pork banh mi and they said it will be ready in 15 mins . I reached before 15 minutes were over and they had the order ready already ,which was impressive . The complex had ample parking . The prices are reasonable. The lady on the front counter was friendly. However my biggest issue was I felt there was very very less amount of actual pork in the banh mi. I have had banh mis from many places before and I have never seen so less meat inside . It felt like having a veg banh mi almost . Also it had a weird non pleasant subtle smell when the wrapper was on it . I am not sure what was it . I ate some of it but couldn't finish it all . This was the first time I so hated a banh mi . I will not buy banh mi sandwiches from here again . 2 stars for the friendly staff and for how quickly they served the order .

    I came here on a late night after a long day of work and studying, and while all pho restaurants in the immediate area were closed, this one was open a little later. The staff was awesome and they didn't mind how late I came (30 min before closing). There was someone that came at 9pm on the dot. They were super accommodating and attentive. The food was prepared very nicely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was large with seating for all types of parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now on for the food. I was craving a rice plate. I have yet to try the soups. The rice plate was delicious! I gotta say though, I was not a big fan of how they make their shrimp cake compared to other areas. I will definitely come back to try other food on the menu!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service here was really poor and the ambiance is nothing special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nobody came to check in or refill my water while dining in. I waited at my table after I finished my pho and after waiting for a while I went up to the front to pay and they were confused on why I was there. I just told them I wanted to pay for my food since I didn't get the bill. The pho was okay, nothing special due to the meat feeling like an older low quality frozen cut steak. I wanted to give this place another shot, but they failed since the service was awful and the food was nothing special. I wouldn't recommend coming here after I've had a few poor experiences at this place.

    All fat! Little to no meat!!!

    First time ordering out ordered the number 10 to go very flavorful. The only thing is all the meat was very fatty very little meat to eat lots and lots of noodles. Curious if it would be different service if dining in.?

    01-24-25 love the Pho here. Can't go wrong with the food. Service is good [[HIGHLIGHT]]dining area always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are fare. One of my go to places if I want some comfort food.

    Came here a few times and they're always good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and the service is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not in to Pho (yeah I know) so I get the rice plates and they are tasty. I got the lemon beef today and it was spicy and delicious. The spice was a 7 out of 10 which is my limit. My wife gets the Pho and she loves it. It's a solid place for Viet cuisine.

    Lemongrass rice plate

    Party of six adults and two kids. I ordered a large rare steak pho which was good. Husband ordered the lemongrass rice plate which was tasty, but spicy. All in all, food was good and service was too.

    BBQ Pork Banh Mi
    John L.

    I live very close to Pho LA and it has been way too long since I have been back. I was craving a sandwich, so I was originally headed to Mr. Pickle which is in the same shopping center, but I saw Pho LA and I was hoping they sold Banh Mi's. Right as you walk up to the restaurant, they had a sandwich board in front with the list of their Banh mi options. I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi. It was very good and I will be back sooner than later to try the options.

The Bun Cha Ha Noi is fantastic. The pork belly was grilled perfectly, and it came with a huge assortment of veggies, a big bowl of sauce, and a good amount of rice paper. I loved being able to easily dunk everything into the sauce. Even the small portion was enough for 2 people. The Banh Mi Chao Bo Luc Lac was just okay. I liked that the pate was warmed up with the rest of the dish, and the beef cubes were well seasoned, but they could have been more tender. We also got the fried chicken wings in garlic fish sauce. The flavor on the outside was great, but the breading was a bit dense and the inside needed more flavor. The service was great and they checked on us several times. There is also lots of blue monkey decor throughout to live up to the name.

Despite it being in a big lot, parking still took a while to find. Thankfully, we had thankfully just beat the lunch rush and not had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. My friend and I shared a Northern spread (Bun Cha Ha Noi) and a Southern style Goat Curry (Banh Mi Cari De). Service was definitely on the slower side that day, but thankfully we were proactive at getting the orders in. The Bun Cha Ha Noi was delicious - pretty much a DIY spring roll - all the fun, all the mess, with none of the clean up other than licking the plates clean. The pork belly was delicious; I was surprised how much I liked it, since I'm not a fan of pork. I devoured numerous rolls, and we also had some extra vermicelli to finish off the rest of the protein. This single meal was definitely more than enough for two! The Banh Mi Cari De (goat curry) was unfortunately quite the opposite. The goat was cooked very well - tough, gamy, and difficult to eat. There were probably six pieces in total, our first was tender, our second had bone, a little harder to chew, and the last was best compared to rubber. The curry was a bit watery, which made the banh mi soggy when dipped in. This was probably an adventurous try, but not a dish I'd ever consider ordering again.

Banh cuon Dac biet 1000/10 - it's freshly made you can just tell. It comes with the meat filled one and the shrimp one, and let me tell you, the rice flour roll itself is so flavorful, soft and silky. I've truly never had anything like it. They put a generous amount of meat inside this banh cuon and it complements so well with the fried shallots. Bun rieu 9/10 - the soup was so umami and flavorful, they included a big crab ball inside with tons of tofu and noodles, portions in this dish are generous as well. I think the main star dish here is the banh cuon though It only took me so long to try because every time I come, there's always a super long line but luckily today there was no wait! This place has been on my radar for 4 years! They also cater so if I ever just want to eat banh cuon in the comfort of my home I might just order a big platter to eat and share with my friends!

Very casual no-frills spot in Vietnam Town, typical viet service, food came fast. I had the Banh Cuon Dac Biet and found it to be pretty average, not great nor bad. The rice roll had a thicker, stickier texture; the cha slices on the side were cold, and the meat filling in the banh cuon were negligible. I had to drown it in nuoc cham, which was pretty watered down. I slightly prefer Tay Ho in Santa Clara. Overall, it was by no means bad, but just fell short of expectations, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return. 3/5

I usually order their Bun Bo Hue in a large size so I can enjoy some at the restaurant and still have leftovers to take home later. Service is always quick--you get seated right away, and someone usually takes your order within a minute or two. The food comes out fast, hot, and fresh every time. No matter what time of day I visit, there are always people eating here, which speaks for itself. The broth is incredibly flavorful while still being light and aromatic. Combined with the variety of toppings and fresh vegetables, it's hard not to dig in the moment it hits the table (as you can probably tell from the photo, lol). The restaurant has plenty of seating, making it a great place to bring family and friends. When you're finished eating, you simply walk up to the counter, tell them your table number, and pay. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash or debit cards. If you're looking for a comforting bowl of Bun Bo Hue, especially on a rough morning after a night out, this is definitely the place to go. I will always come back here.

The flavor is on point for BBH but I just wish they wouldn't nickel and dime their customers.
