House made chili oil

A hidden gem Must try. Service was so amazing as well. Ambiance was clean and relaxing. Little road trip lunch stop. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls, the saffron iced tea sweetened with honey, lemongrass chicken bánh mì, and purchased the house made chili oil for home. The lemongrass chicken had the perfect kick to it, the peanut sauce was honestly one of the best I've had, and all the ingredients tasted so fresh and flavorful. My sandwich came out perfectly warm too. This place is such a hidden gem! 100/10.

I ordered the rare steak and tendon pho, without jalapeños. The broth came out steaming hot and had a deep, rich flavor that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The rare steak was tender and cooked perfectly in the bowl, while the tendon added a nice texture without being too chewy. The noodles were soft but not mushy, soaking up the broth with every bite. Skipping the jalapeños didn't take away from the dish, there was still plenty of flavor from the Thai Basil and bean sprouts on the side. Portion size was generous, service was quick, and the restaurant had a relaxed, family style feel to it. A great spot in town if you're in the mood for a hearty and comforting bowl of pho.

Chicken Egg Roll. 4 pieces a bit bigger then your average egg roll.

First time trying this place and it was amazing! You can really tell they take their time preparing everything--the quality and flavor definitely show. We ordered a few items to share and every single one hit. Chicken egg rolls - Packed with flavor and generously filled. Super satisfying. Spicy Lemongrass Chicken bánh mì - They used an actual baguette (not a torta-style roll), which made a big difference. It was HUGE and so good. Chicken Pho (Phở Gà) - Came out piping hot, and the broth was better than any pho we've had in Visalia. The star anise aroma really came through, and those little fatty bubbles from the chicken broth added so much richness. Thai Tea - Absolutely next level. I don't know what they did differently, but it had a subtle orange peel/fragrance that made it stand out. One of the best Thai teas I've ever had--I'd honestly drive from Visalia to Porterville just for this. Overall, we've officially found our new favorite Vietnamese spot in Downtown Porterville!

#11 rare steak and beef brisket
Gerardo C.

I order the #11 rare steak with brisket pho and a water. It was very busy around 2pm on a Thursday but the food was very flavorful! The store was a little small but clean and the staff were friendly. They are in a great location right in Main Street.

YES YES YES so far so GOOOOD ordered fresh spring roll and it was so good!! Peanut sauce is on fire and you will love it!! Can't wait to try everything else. Only bad ordered in advance and still took them and extra 15 to make it when I got there with only one couple inside. Other than that will definitely come back to leave that last star.

Rare beef pho and fresh spring rolls.
Glenda T.

The best restaurant in town and the best pho I've had. I always get the rare steak pho and the fresh spring rolls. On hot days I love getting the iced mint tea. Although the wait is sometimes long, it is always worth it as the food is as fresh as it gets! Just go in knowing it may take over an hour. I will sometimes call in my order ahead of time, if I know I am on a time crunch. I can imagine it is hard to cook fresh food quickly. The owners are very kind and generous. I always leave happy and full. Pho Le Vy is by far the best restaurant in Porterville.

These veggies need to be recognized! Freshest IVE EVER HAD. All of it was beyond fresh, flavorful and aromatic!
Stephanie C.

This has jumped to my favorite and #1 pho spot on my go to list. From the veggies, the appetizers ( we got the rocket shrimp ) to the pho and the service!! Super friendly staff, quick service even though the place was packed. I live about 40 min away and I will gladly make that trip every time! The oxtail pho was packed with meat and flavor. I asked for extra meatballs and they brought me a whole other plate broth and all with like 10 meatballs for $5!! Bargain!

Short rib pho , Rib eye pho and chicken egg rolls
Kevin T.

Best Pho i've ever had. i ordered the short rib pho , Rib eye pho and chicken egg rolls. Broth was rich in flavor like they've been simmering for days. Big portion sizes.

Homemade Egg Rolls
Jackie D.

Absolutely delicious! The short rib pho was perfection. I had the large which was a lot of food. The broth was simple and clean and the meat was a good quality. I also had the homemade pork egg rolls which I polished off. There is also Ox tail on the menu which I plan to try next time. Staff very very friendly and very attentive. Definitely don't pass up!

4/5 *ONLY BECUASE I GOT SOMETHING THAT I WAS TRYING FOR THE FIRST TIME .* Although the food was amazing for something I've never tried it's not for me simply I'm going to go back try the phu next time hoping I'll enjoy that more . Ima bout to bless a homeless man with this meal . Service was 10/10 I didn't even order a drink & the man in there gave me one just for waiting . Don't let one semi bad trip/eats/experience ruin it for every time you go .

Lemongrass chicken
Brianna G.

The food here is soo good! Enough portions for two people, the lemongrass chicken tastes great. The shrimp egg rolls are a must try especially with their sauce. I'll definitely be coming back to try the pho. Service was quick, welcoming, and efficient. Overall great spot and need in the town.

Short Rib Pho
JessicaH C.

Had the beef short rib pho and it was delicious. The broth was super flavorful without adding any extras. The waiter/cashier was very friendly and accommodating, which made for a great customer service experience. Only downside: it took 47 minutes to get our food, and the restaurant wasn't busy. Hoping they improve on speed, because the pho itself is definitely worth trying! Also perhaps a sign on the window or door with the restaurant name would be nice. I couldn't tell which building it was after parking.

A great little place with great food. The service was very good a little slow but worth the wait. The peanut sauce was the best .

This pho spot is delicious!!! Trust me!!! I have been going here since high school. So since 2009…read morebut stopped coming in 2013 because I moved. But I can't stop thinking about the calamari!!! The calamari is the star of the show. It is delicious and a must-try. I went back here and so much has changed!!! The menu has expanded and that is amazing. I always get the shrimp and rice. Sometimes I get fried rice or steamed rice and it has amazing, tasty tempura batter of the calamari. I do recommend getting two plates of calamari!!! It is super addicting. My family and I can't stop eating it because it is that good. Service is amazing!!! I remember it is a family-owned business. My family and I used to remember the owners back when I lived in Lemoore. They are very nice people and will bring you great service and amazing food. Btw it is always packed!!! Parking is also difficult!!! It is in front of a park and it is in an okay place but worth it to go. The ambiance is the same as I remembered. It is big. Before, it was a small shop and hopefully, they expand. I low-key wish there was one in North Cal because my family and I miss the calamari. But it is still nice to visit here and see how this small business became a huge

My favorite disappointed me. Finally FROG LEGs but whoever the idiot was cooking on May 15 around…read more4:30 so overcooked them they were fog leg jerky . It sucked people, fix that bullshit
