Delicious pho with really tender chicken meat and good soup. Nice simple mom pop noodle house. The gentleman who served me was dressed impeccably in all black and had a smile to greet me. Thank you for the delicious food. read more

The pho ga was very good. I myself don't normally eat pho ga but it was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I tried it. They offer a bunch of different noodles to pair. Over all a good experience. read more

This is a cute, small, family oriented restaurant. There was a sweet lady who took our order. We both ordered the beef pho special. It was good with plenty of meat. Even though it was only her and another person working there, service was excellent. I would stop by again. read more

The chicken pho is soooo good the broth is the best in El Monte!! When I come back from the bay i usually have to make a stop here! The broth is so clean and so flavorful in depth! They use really fresh chicken and that's why I love coming here! The service is good it's a little hole in the wall place and next to the bowling alley! Also, prices are decent for what they have! Their menu is limited so they do make every dish pretty decent! The hainam chicken is also really good. The rice is excellent. They make it with a chicken broth. Definitely always will come here. This is my go to spot.! read more

Awesome mom and pho viet restaurant. The pho is authentic and one of my other favorite is the Bo luc lac filet mignon with the ketchup rice. Would recommend either of those items depending if you are in the mood for noodles or soup. The eggrolls is also very good read more

Came here few times in a week because the food tasted so delicious. I found Pho LTK on instagram and saw a lot of posted photos. We ordered the Chicken Pho, Bun Bo Bue, and Lemongrass Pork chops the first time we visited because it seem to be the very known popular items. We did not regret it. The chicken is so moist and tenderand the broth is so flavorful and not greasy at all. Bun Bo Hue is usually my go to at any pho restaurant so I was stoked to try the one here. They do not jip out on the meat, it's a good amout portion, I was amazed by how delicious and soft the pork feet tasted. Noodle was not oevrcooked with the crunch, broth with a perfect amount of flavor and spicy. Lemongrass Pork Chop is a must. the Pork chop is very juicy and and tender, you will probably need extra rice for it. Tommy, the waiter always takes care of us whenever we stop by. very funny guy and got a lot of jokes. LOL we love his service! Just a suggestion, they tend to run out of certain items through out the day. I would say come in earlier to dine in or place iyour order earlier. Usually the popular items are always sold out. We already experienced a few times we visited. Overall, food and service are wonderful. I still need to come back to try the curry. seemed very popular! read more

Used be good place to eat, now the owner abondont this place. Ignore service quality,

Have not been here for a long time and ordered bun bo hue, Banh cuon, hainam chicken and pho to go. The food quality has really declined since the last time I was here. My kids are not picky eaters and barely touched the food and said never to go back. The only order that tasted ok was the banh cuon. Pho was bland, sauce for hainam chicken has no flavor, rice was plain white rice. Noodles for bun bo hue was all broken pieces, pork hock was gamey and broth was just meh. Would not recommend eating here. read more

I heard a lot of great things about Pho LTK so I knew I had to come here during my visit to SoCal. This placed lived up to the hype!! Their speciality, Pho Ga, was very tasty and authentic. This was my favorite dish! We also ordered the spring rolls, steam rolls, and curry chicken to share. All of these dishes were a 10/10 as well! :) The service was exceptional and the employees were very friendly. They brought out the food quick and filled our drinks fast. Coming from Seattle, it is hard to find authentic Vietnamese food so I am glad I gave this place a shot. I will definitely be coming back the next time I am in town to try some of the other dishes they have. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this hole in the wall restaurant. They use all natural ingredients and always had a positive attitude towarss the customers. Although it wasn't very crowded I feel like it deserves more business than it gets. The pho was good and service was prompt. 5/5 read more

Ordered doordash for my coworkers and I on a rainy California day. Our order came out to be 18 dishes and $250+. Waited a total of 2m5 hours and my poor doordash delivery man had to wait for them to finish. Ended up tipping the delivery guy in addition to what I had given him through the app cause I felt so bad. But the delivery guy said it was busy (Saturday afternoon) and they were serving people on dining in first. Unfortunately after all the planning and organizing of the food, they forgot my order. I guess after all the orders and multiple phone calls asking for updates, missing one order isn't too bad. I had called back after I found out they had missed my order and they apologized and said I could come back anytime and receive a free makeup noodle dish. Coworkers were raving about the shrimp and pork spring rolls. So I decided to make a drive to El Monte on my day off and claim my free meal. I had told my waiter my situation and he responded with "you're Vivian?!? . The boss mentioned your name all week long" I was flattered and confused at the same time but I knew on some level he probably felt really bad and was anticipating my arrival. I ended up tipping generously for the honesty and free (free ish?) meal. The chicken noodle was okay but when the chicken was dipped into their heavenly garlic sauce, OMG.... So delicious. I don't know what's in their chicken sauce but I would eat that with rice all day long. It was pretty busy even on a Friday afternoon. Friendly staff. read more

Pho LTK - Chicken noodle - Noodles Near Me - El Monte, California

Really wanted to support a local business but it's hard when their service is so bad. Family ordered six items over the phone and the person told us it'll take about thirty minutes. Understanding it was a lunch rush, we waited forty minutes to give them extra time to prepare our order before heading in to pick up. They still weren't ready. We sat there and waited another 45 minutes while watching people walk up and order and pick up their food before our order was even done. When we asked the owner on an update on our order, we were brushed off and they said it was the kitchen's issue, not theirs. Incredibly frustrating to see people get their food before us when we've been waiting for so long. The best part was the people who showed up after we did, ordered, finished eating their food, and left while we were still waiting! Terrible service and the attitude of the staff was very unpleasant. Won't be back. read more

We are always looking for good Pho (beef and/or chicken) but found this place to be just ok. Hainan Chicken Rice is better than Noodle soup. Pho is as expected nothing to write home about It's a hole in the wall, small business next to a BofA. Friendly service so supporting local businesses a plus! read more

Rating: 3.5 Stars, but will boost it to a 4. It's not the staffers fault that they are understaffed. Credit Cards: They are accepted! Wifi: They actually have wi-fi! Location/Parking: Located in the Midway Plaza. Parking is abundant, but make sure you avoid parking under some lamp posts. You'll be greeted with some gnarly bird droppings. Best indicator of what parking space to avoid is observing if there is bird droppings on the ground. Ambiance/Decor: Small noodle shop. They try to maximize on their tables, but it can be a bit cramped. Expect to wait a little longer if you have bigger parties. Service: Staffers are nice, but service can be slow. They're under staffed so just be patient. Notables: Shared a filet mignon with red rice, pho dac biet, and a hainan chicken rice. Portion size are decent and the dishes we ordered was very yum. The meats were tender and flavorful. I do agree with the other yelpers on their ginger/nuoc mam sauce. It was quite delish. Pho For Thought: Will come back! :) read more

I used to drive by this place daily to work. Due to my busy work schedule, I never had time to grab lunch. This place was always quick to prep my to-go order. I appreciated that they opened as early as 8am. I've called a few times to pick up my Hainan chicken rice at 8:20am (I would eat it for brunch before my day of meetings). I always ordered the Hainan chicken rice/noodle soup and I switch it up depending on my mood. read more

One of me and my family's favorite places for hanian chicken rice!! The rice is not just plain rice and the chicken is always super fresh paired with their sauces is so good. The workers are always so kind so I definitely recommend checking this place out, it's a hidden gem!! read more

Very close by. Pho ga is always good. Not much wait time. Price is fair. Nothing bad to say about the place . I go there regularly

A true hidden gem in El Monte, they really do hold it down here with the pho choices and more. Definitely love their egg rolls. I love how moist and crisp they are. Some egg rolls can be crispy, but dry but that's not the case as theirs definitely aren't. Egg rolls are always a go to side item for me when I'm enjoying some good pho. I enjoyed everything pictured below and I definitely can't wait to try more. Keep them in mind for your Vietnamese foodie cravings because they will deliver on them. read more

A friendly mom and pop shop, good food and large portions. Need I say more? Limited menu items but what they have on the menu, they do it well. Our go to items are the Hainan chicken rice, beef with brisket pho, and bun bo hue. For the soup noodle items, there's the option for regular or large size. The broth is just heavenly, not to mention that they give you enough veggies for meat for 2 meals. read more

Been to so many pho places but their beef never meets my expectations. Pho LTK surprised me by being a small restaurant located inside an almost empty plaza, but serves amazing quality meat and the beef (tai) is actually authentic and fresh. They're honest towards their customers. There are many types of beef but the tai nam has one type and they have it fresh served in the pho. The soup in the pho is full of flavor but does not taste like real broth made from meat, instead it tastes more like it is made from msg/lots of seasoning. read more

Pho LTK is probably closer to a 3.5 out of 5, but I rounded it up to a 4 considering it's a mom and pop business and shouldn't be compared to fancier restaurants. It's more of a to-go spot, with minimal seating, just a couple of tables. I've visited a couple of times and once sat down to eat with a friend, which was a bit awkward since it was just the owner/server there. Overall, they seemed nice and genuine. While it wouldn't be my top choice for pho to-go, when I'm in the area and feeling lazy to drive but craving pho, I'll swing by. I come to this plaza for the cheaper bowling at Action Lanes. read more

Super tasty chicken! Excellent service, and easy parking. Quick and hot! And the price is right! One of my favorite spot. read more

Post is not about the food but how unsanitary the employees are! Due to COVID-19 they should take more precaution. They leave everything out and every customer touches it. Also when they clean the table they spray some kind of chemical to clean the table and it would get all over the sauce, spoon, chop stick, & sauce tray. They don't even have hand sanitizer or wipe down the chairs after each customer. Asked the lady with glasses if it's possible to get new spoons or At least rewash 2 spoons for me but instead she went to the next time while there is a customer seating there eating and grabbed 2 spoons! So I end up asking another lady for plastic soup! Lady with glasses and pony tail if you hate your job quit! Customer service plays a big part for restaurant owners! Food is good but man they need to up their game on cleaning. It's like hey let's go to pho LTK and catch Covid. read more

We always get their large chicken salad and half steamed chicken to go. Other menu items we've tried: hainam chicken rice, chicken pho, egg rolls which are all tasty, but the winner is their steamed chicken! Tip: When ordering to go, my hubby always says to show up a little later than their quoted time because every time he's shown up at their quoted time, it's never ready. Otherwise, friendly service. (: read more

I think this is a Chinese owned Vietnamese restaurant? It's pretty alright. We were craving pho ga but when we ate it, it tasted less like what we expected and more of a chicken noodle soup. Don't get me wrong, though, I think people should come and try this spot, but I wouldn't go back here. read more

Overall the food was pretty good. I ordered the meatball pho. The one strange thing was when I went to pick up the food the 2 ladies working there did not know the prices and were unsure of the cost of my order. I had to wait 10 minutes for another employee to come to take my money. read more

The Bun Bo Hue was delicious and authentic. The ladies there were really friendly and kind which I liked! I ordered Chicken rice Togo and I'm really excited to have it tomorrow. read more

For Hainan Chicken lovers, this is it! The chicken meats are tender yet the skins are crispy. The chicken retains its freshness when served. This restaurant serves variety of dishes with Hainan chicken. The decoration of the restaurant is not that impressive but the foods are good. During Covid they have three tables for outdoor seating. It's best to order take out. We tried their Hainan chicken rice which I believe to be one of the best in LA. With garlic rice to go with the tender hot water poached chicken meats, the restaurant claimed they used the Wen Chang chicken( type of organic yellow chicken) as it's done in Singapore to add authenticity to the dish. We also ordered Hainan chicken pho as well. The pho is the Chinese rice noodle with Hainan chicken and some vegetables. Unlike the beef pho, The broth in this chicken pho is clear and sweet. The portion is big. Along with the Hainan chicken theme, we also got their chicken salad. This salad is similar to the Chinese salad in most restaurants in the US, the only difference here is the Hainan chicken used in the salad that makes the salad to have a unique taste. Instead of dried chicken meats in the salad, you will get to enjoy the tender chicken meats with the lettuces. Finally, you have to try their sesame ball. Very crunchy outside and soft inside with green bean paste. This is a very popular dish here. read more

I love this place! I need to tell the truth! Family owned business and everyone works there are friendly. The food is extremely delicious with amazing price. You will never go wrong with Bun Bo hue, hai man chicken serves with half chicken and a bowl of chicken soup. The chicken congee/porridge is a must order, very flavorful and lots of chicken inside, love how they added green onions,Cilantro a fried onions. Pho is always a good choice, love the beef tender bowl, I m not sure if they home made it or not but it's really good! Lol! Spring roll comes in 3 per order and they are bigger than other places; home makes dipping sauce gives more flavors. Lemon grass pork chop with rice also comes with a bowl of chicken soup and the pork chops are tender and full of flavors. Located inside a place with lots of parking spaces. If you go there at night and the sign is not on, don't worry, just walk inside, they are open. We love this place a lot, highly recommended and we will continually coming to support. read more

When I'm super lazy I come here because it's really cloSe to my house.. is not really great but it does the job if you font want to drive to SG or Alhambra for some pho. This is our 3 time here and tbh it was good the first two time buT for some reason today was just mehhhh. The broth was lacking flavor, as always im the one that usually fines things in my food, i swear it never fails I found this lint looking hair in my chicken and she said it's part of the chicken hair/feather. She gave me a fresh bowl but by then I've already lost my appetite so I just ate the noodles and left the chicken. Parking on a Sunday is packed I think theey have like a bible study in one of the suites. If you're trying to find closer parking it would be by the bowling alley.. read more

LTK's pho ga (Chicken noodle) is always my comfort food! Even though I was in low carb diet, I could not resist it. And their Banh Cuon (steamed rolls) is the best in SGV. Not many Vietnamese restaurants make it and LTK's rice skin is the thinnest. You won't be too full after you finish one dish. The service is good and they make you feel like a family! read more

Appearance of initial visit !!! Old, and dirty, small sitting area. Service for pickup was quick , ready when I got there . ( could it of been maybe because the place was empty!) ‍ (Which should have been my first clue !!!!)‍ So I ordered the chicken Wing Noodle Soup ! Got one chicken wing and the rest was small pieces of cut chicken ribcage ‍..... no flavor what so ever to the chicken ..... and was not at all tender !!!! Tasted old !!!! The broth had no substance either . Noodles were over cooked !!!!! Wow .... And it was $13 ... which if it would have been good !!! That would not be a problem!! But it was terrible!!! Oh and the host , (if I can call her that) was rude ! Not friendly at all. Big mistake to try something new ! read more

As a repeating customer, this place always gets it right. I've been coming here for the last three years now and this is always my go to spot for viet food. The old man who runs the restaurant is always super friendly and attentive when you need something. My favorite dishes that I've stuck to over the years are the Hanoi chicken, steamed rolls, and the classic chicken pho. They also have a good variety of appetizers that never miss such as egg rolls and spring rolls that are killer good. Lastly, don't forget to wash it down with their options of fresh coconut juice, Thai tea, and regular soft drinks. I will continue to come here as this place is as authentic as it gets! read more

If you're in the SGV area, eat here. It's a family owned restaurant where they offer traditional Vietnamese foods and soul-warming pho. I like how their pho soups are more on the natural side and don't contain as much msg. It's located in a really big plaza where there's plenty of parking. Last time I came, I saw that they're also doing outside dining. read more

Sad to leave this review, just happened tonight. Ordered a thai tea and they gave me something else. Went back to trade for a thai tea but they told me theyve sold out. As the lady and I were trying to figure out what other options there are as replacement, another employee comes and they talked a bit and said they have more. So I waited and got the drink replaced. Came home and took one sip of the 'thai tea" and it tasted like pure creamer. The color is really light also (they put it in a bag so I didn't check again or notice the color was off). I am guessing they did run out, instead of trading me another drink decided to pretend they have more by giving me whats left mixed with A LOT of creamer/sugar. It tastes so bland with almost no tea flavor. Very shady they did this and very disappointing because their food and price is actually pretty decent. read more

I have been looking for this place ever since it moved off of garvey and have finally had my beef pho craving appeased. The broth is exquisite and tastes like real beef bone broth. The soup hits the right balance of sweet, salty, and beefy. Although their menu is shorter than many Vietnamese restaurants they do everything right. Their prices are reasonable and for the taste incredibly worth. If you like msg enhanced soup, this isn't the place for you, but if you want a taste of good beef pho take a look. read more

Discovered Pho LTK roughly in June 2020 at the height of COVID. I came for lunch when restaurans were allowed to have outside dinning area. Glad to have come across it as the pho and hai nan chicken with rice are very tasty! Being able to patronize a family owed small business is a natural thing to do, and especially when they are able to produce such flavorful good that brings joy to the taste buds and belly. I would, with confidence, recommend anyone to try Pho LTK. read more

The chicken here is soooo good. I ordered a large chicken pho with leg meat. The chicken was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. I loved the ginger sauce that came with it. I could drink a whole bowl of the ginger sauce alone. The large noodle was more than enough for me and my 1 year old. The server even brought out plastic utensils for her and a pair of scissors to cut the noodles. Open on Memorial Day. Super friendly service. Clean restaurant and clean restroom. Accepts card as well. read more
