Pho Rare Beef Loin NY - To Go
Maggie A.

Doordashed the Rare Beef Steak Pho - I live near Westwood and it was right after work so it took about 45 minutes. Quickly reheated up the broth in a pot since it had cooled down a bit after travel. Overall delicious and the broth was great! A little salty but the noodles, veggies, and noodles helped balance it out. Kept a little for leftovers and those help up well too! Doordash itself was great and came a lot sooner than anticipated. The store packaged it really well with a sticker/staple to keep everything secure - nothing spilled on the way over.

I loved the decor and vibe of this place. Very Venice beach but it's technically in Marina Del Rey. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating although I didn't need much. I went in about 7 pm and it wasn't busy. Just a few people there. The food was tasty. Not out of this world but average for a pho spot. Would I go back? Probably yes, if I couldn't find another spot. Pricey for a pho spot.

Expensive for small portions of food and little amount of meat , I ordered the combination pho which is cost me more than 28$ and there was 18% service added already not including the tips!! And i still feels hungry! like I wasted my money to leave unhappy and end up ordering something else from another place!!

Pad See Ew

I have a simple test for pho. Once I try it somewhere, I observe my reaction every time I drive by. If i'm salivating, or suddenly craving it, then it's a hit, and a must try. If I'm not dripping saliva like a French Mastiff, then it's a pass. Pho MDR? Yeah... I crave it almost every time. The only thing stopping me from pulling over constantly is the parking situation--if there's not a spot out front, I keep going. (L.A. problems.) In the last month, I've been here six times. That should tell you everything. My go-to? The pho with rare beef loin. Simple, consistent, absolutely delicious. The broth is the star--rich and savory without being oily or heavy. Unlike a lot of pho joints where your bowl looks like it's been dunked in a fryer, this one's clean, comforting, and just hits the spot. It's reliable, dependable, and unlike my dating life... predictable. My other staple here? The Pad See Ew. It's a family favorite, and while not every pho spot nails it, this one does. It has that nostalgic street vendor flavor from the motherland. One bite, and I'm in Southeast Asia. Dessert? Mango sticky rice. Yes, yes--I know it's more Thai than Vietnamese. But do I care? No. Why? Because it's food porn, plain and simple.

Service 4.6/5 Food 4.1/5 Value 4.25/5 A cute little spot right on Washington boulevard, which makes it really hard to park. I would suggest the neighborhoods for parking but pay attention to street signs! The food was pretty good. The most important thing for me in pho are the broth and meat. The broth was nice and flavorful, and I could definitely see myself drinking every bit of the soup. In my opinion however, there was not much meat, especially since they give you a huge bowl (and charge accordingly as well). At $18, I would expect just a bit more meat to where I didn't run out within the first couple bites. Otherwise, I love the vibe of the restaurant; it's definitely a cute date spot!

10/10 always. Not only is the pho amazing, but so is everything else. The pad see ew is some of the best around it's so flavorful. All of the apps are amazing too. The woman who runs the place (maybe the owner) is really sweet. Also love the vibes inside. Frequent customer and will continue to be!

Love their MDR crispy wings. I don't like "soggy" wings and they are crispy and hot just right! Also nice bowl portion of PHO! The indoor vibe is kinda funky like with the red lighting and the art, the club music, street vibes etc. They also have mango rice that's good. Parking is on the street or on the side if you have it. Limited spots. About 8 tables inside so it's not big. 6 (four tops) and 2 (2 tops). There is a handicap ramp on the side entrance which helps if you have mobility challenges. The main front entrance has a high step (one step) and is narrow to get in. Definitely a "neighborhood". Mostly locals here. Also tried their Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Garlic Beef. One thing to note, no outside food or drink and no public restrooms. They also automatically add the tip to the bill at 18% and for parties 6+ is 20%. None of it is retained by the owner, 100% service charge goes to the staff working.

Great pho and atmosphere. It hits the spot on a cold night. I can't wait to go back for other soups

My friend and I decided to find a Vietnamese place to enjoy on a chilly day when I came across Pho MDR. I loved how cute it was from the outside, so we decided to give it a try. My first impressions were based off of how cute and fun the interior was. Definitely a warm and cozy vibe that my friend and I very much enjoyed. The dining area was a bit small, but we went later in the evening so we had no problem finding a table to dine at. For my beverage, I decided to order a Vietnamese Coffee as it's one of my all time favorite drinks to order at Vietnamese restaurants. Unfortunately, this was probably the worst one I've had. The coffee came with a hugeee amount of condensed milk on the clustered bottom so I made sure to shake it vigorously. Even mixed, it was way too sweet with almost no coffee flavor at all. I asked for more coffee on the side so I can balance it out but that didn't help, it was undrinkable. I didn't want to make a fuss so I just left it on the table and paid for it when it was time to leave. When it came to the dishes themselves, they were actually really flavorful and delicious. My friend ordered pho and she did enjoy it. I loved my noodles as well as they were well cooked and had nice flavor depth to it. In terms of service, this is where it fell quite short for me. My friend and I weren't too pleased that our appetizer came out the same time as our food, otherwise, we wouldn't have ordered it. It was very delicious nonetheless, but kind of a waste in this scenario. They also were out of mangos so we couldn't order dessert. Furthermore, the employee who picked up our check with our cards, took a significant amount of time to run them. She also ran the cards multiple times to the point where my card wouldn't work and my friend got multiple charges on her card. These extra charges were eventually canceled, but I have no idea what the cause of this was. We must've waited 10-15 minutes just to get our cards back. Additionally, a 18% service charge got added to our bill. Could be the reason why our service wasn't quite good, considering they get automatic 18% onto every bill. My friend and I weren't too pleased with this either. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and the quality of the food but everything else was quite disappointing. I don't believe my friend and I will return.

Inside

Phi MDR is a very cute and unassuming hole in the wall pho place. There are only street spaces so parking might be a bit of a challenge at certain times of the day. The inside of the place is small and has some themed pho & Vietnamese food art painted on the wall, which is a nice touch. The service was swift and the portions were ample. We ordered the beef loin pho & chicken pho as well as the egg rolls with pork. All the great flavors were there- the beef was tender, and the broth was nice and hot. We thought the pork spring rolls were pretty great too. We left very full and satiated, it definitely hit the spot!

The sambal wontons were delicious and just the right amount of spice. It was the first time I had the Mie Tek Tek Indonesian noodles, which was like chow mein, but with unique spices that I enjoyed. The Cah Kangkung water spinach was also great. (It's like ong choy). While many of the main ingredients could be found in more common Chinese food, the spices were different and sweet and spicy in a Malaysian way. It was delicious and different. The service was really friendly and prompt. It's nice and modern inside. I liked the "antique" type plates which were cute. There's modern music and a cool hip vibe. There's a free small parking lot in front. I'll be back to try other dishes.

And honestly I personally think the food was not too bad but could be better. The roti was good but small. The haianese chicken was good with the sauce! But the nasi bungkus was wrapped in banana leaf but the ratio of meat to rice portions were very uneven. Theyre was a small amount of beef and lots of rice. The laksa had a fishy smell & taste - as if there was a bit too much fish sauce. Overall, for Indonesian & southeast food it's not too bad. The services were good!

Went early to see if anything opened or if walk-in would be faster, surprisingly they actually had something come available sooner. We opted to sit inside and loved the ambiance. Food - amazing! I read reviews first and watched a couple IG videos so I knew a general idea of what we wanted to order. Glad the server suggested the orange chicken over the walnut shrimp when we were debating it. Chil wontons, absolutely a must get, different from DTF, not crazy spicy but full of flavor and richness. XO fatty noodles, perfect chewiness on the rolled noodles and the flavors were well balanced, we enjoyed them with a little chili paste and the orange chicken as the protein. Orange chicken, soooo much more flavorful than your average Panda Express orange chicken, good sized nuggets of chicken that were crispy and tender at the same time, and the zest livened it up. BBQ pork shank, our server did warn us it's not the easiest to eat, but it's worth it, hard to see cutting it off the bone because it was so dimly lite in the restaurant and your hands will get sticky but once you get chunks off the bone and your bao bun built it's delicious especially when you get the lacquered crispy skin yummm! Only skip for the night was the mango sticky rice. Much rather would've spend $8 on something else. The mango was tart/sour. The sticky rice was too wet and mushy. It was a pass for both of us. Service - our server was awesome. From greeting to end, he was the right amount of attentive and was super helpful with suggestions. Everyone from the food runner to the busser, they were all so nice. From getting us chili paste or to go containers, customer service was on point. Parking - love love that are a few parking spaces right out front. They're metered. But after 8pm it was free so perfect for us. Other than those spaces, there's a lot across the street if you want to risk it or also side streets parking too.

I love that they have the restaurant for you to go in and sit down, but they have a pick up window outside so you can easily get your to-go orders without having to go into the restaurant.

Pho Show in Culver City is officially on our repeat list…read more We ordered the brisket pho with added vegetables and it was absolutely amazing. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and so perfectly balanced that it didn't need a single sauce added. The brisket was incredibly tender. Truly a pleasure to eat. We added carrots, broccoli, and bok choy, and the bok choy was cooked to perfection. The noodle-to-broth ratio was just right. We also ordered the pork egg rolls. There were three in the order and my boyfriend and I literally fought over the last one. That should tell you everything. Crispy, flavorful, perfect. The Arnold Palmers were so good we both refilled. Twice. The ambience satisfies everyone's needs. There's great music playing, the space is lively, open, and beautifully designed, and it's perfect for a first date or a decades long relationship. There's great seating inside with plenty of options, including accessible table seating for guests who need it. They also have an outdoor enclosed patio that is heated, making it comfortable year-round. Beer and wine are available, which rounds out the experience nicely. Service was fantastic. Stephanie is the best. She gave us great pro tips for what to order next time, which we absolutely plan to do. Highly recommend dining in for the full experience. And pro tip from us: download their app. If you like ordering for pickup or delivery, you can earn points and get free food. They're open daily but closed between 3-5 PM, so plan accordingly. You're welcome.
