I am not a big meat fan but I went with my cousins and they loved it. The service was fast but there were not many people. The restaurant was very clean and the servers were kind. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place!! We come here at least once a month. Their pho is my favorite compared to other spots locally and even in Torrance. Their truffle fries are incredible and my boyfriend always gets their stew which is super flavorful. Staff is always super friendly and service is really quick. It is right next to the ice skating rink inside the PV mall. It gets a little chilly in there so this spot makes it perfect. We will back again soon!! read more

Come on Palos Verdes people! This is THE BEST PHO EVER. It is located where Ruby's was for years! Everything is EXCELLENT... the service, the food, ambiance and cleanliness!

Located in the Royal Hills Mall, and it has a great view of the ice-skating rink. Plenty of space receding for small groups or larger groups. Our waitress was very friendly and very nice, but it was a little slow at the time and she seemed to not move as quickly as I would prefer. Her service was not bad at all, but due to how many customers were there I would've thought she would have moved a lot quicker. The pho was good. The meat is very tender in the pho. The broth I wish was a little bit more flavorful, but definitely not something to complain about. The flaming Wagyu was very tender. I highly recommend ordering this appetizer, but I would say get everything on the side, which includes the sauce and the onions. read more

Pho REDBO is SICHMA halal certified across the full menu, making it an easy choice for the whole family with no restrictions on what you can order. For families on the Palos Verdes Peninsula looking for halal Vietnamese comfort food, this spot stands out for both quality and variety. The menu highlights premium Wagyu beef and a rich 24-hour bone broth that gives the pho a deep, flavorful finish. We tried the beef stew, Combination Pho with thin noodles, Wagyu sliders, and the Flaming Wagyu served tableside. The beef stew was hearty, the combination pho delivered tender meats with delicate thin noodles. The Wagyu sliders were packed with flavor, and the flaming Wagyu presentation added a fun interactive touch to the meal. The tableside service made the experience feel elevated. Service was amazing throughout the meal, attentive, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. read more

Reservations: Easy to make online though we walked in at off hours around 4pm on a Saturday so plenty of seats were available. Parking: Really easy free parking in the structure next to the mall that the restaurant is in. Service: Friendly and helpful in providing recs when trying to decide between dishes; tableside service for flaming wagyu and very quick to get orders/check/food Ambiance: Very unique with Ruby's style diner on outside and beautiful colorful lanterns inside as well as big windows to the LA Kings Ice skating rink next door with plenty of seating inside. Food: Wagyu phở tái combination bowl had wagyu rare steak, wagyu brisket, wagyu rib cubes in a 24-hour bone broth that was great value at $23 for a large size Shaken beef with rice was also filling and cooked well, reasonably priced at $21, and seasoned with a delicious sauce and broth. Loved the peach tea as well so didn't need to find a boba spot for dessert after! It came in a convenient bottle to take to-go if you can't finish too, which I really appreciated. read more

I was in the area for Fika Fika next door, when I saw this place. I was a little hungry so I thought I would grab a quick snack before getting some ice cream. I t was about 4pm so in between major mealtimes and so it was a bit slow. I think I was the only one in there. Located in the Promenade. It's right next to the entrance near the skating rink. I was greeted by friendly staff who was ready to take my order. The decor inside is quite nice with colorful Asian lanterns and black tables and chairs. Although I should have ordered pho, I wasn't feeling it on this day. I just had a couple items on the appetizer menu. Wagyu sliders: these were pretty good. I tend to like lettuce in my burgers and the sliders didn't have any so I grabbed some leaves from the egg rolls to stuff in it. They were very tasty. Egg rolls: I'm used to having these type of egg rolls made with pork and shrimp so the beef threw me off. Not really my favorite but I could see how some would like it. 3 stars I would come back to try the pho though. read more

What a great Vietnamese restaurant! I got to try their pho wagyu A5 and it was truly amazing. The broth was so rich and the meat was fatty and thinly sliced but so flavorful. We also got the shaken beef rice plate and it came with a side of broth which was a good combo! They have plenty of seating and this place is located inside the mall but pretty easy to find plus there's a big parking structure attached to this mall. Service was great and so glad I finally got to try this restaurant! Their wagyu pho is 10/10 worth getting. Can't wait to be back! read more

I went here with my sister on a Sunday morning right when they opened at 11:00 am. We were craving pho and have been here once before. The food was really good, service was great, and the restaurant was clean. They added lanterns on the ceiling, which added a nice touch. It's conveniently located in the Promenade. Golden Truffle Fries 4/5 I love fries and theirs is a must-try starter. There was a hint of sea salt and truffle oil. Yum. Wagyu Sliders 4/5 A little too much bread for me, but other than that, the Wagyu was flavored nicely and cooked medium-well. Pho with rare steak 4/5 Their broth was so flavorful. I knocked off a point because the last time I visited, I had their Pho with Wagyu A5. The Wagyu melted in my mouth like butter. The rare steak is good, but not as good as their Wagyu. I guess once you've tried their Wagyu A5, you can't have any other type of meat. I could taste the difference. Pea Tea 4/5 Refreshing! read more

Service we got was great, truffle fries are crispy! Thai tea was not overly sweet. I loved it! Pho broth is more on the light/herby/floral side--not salty but peppery. Meat presentation was sad for both orders (one combo pho and one rare steak pho) :( they were crumpled up, not laid flat uniformly. Phos were in the $20s. Ambiance when we went was 7pm on a Friday--a couple of screaming toddlers unfortunately, my right ear drum feels busted but it is what it is. Very casual. Right next to the ice rink too! Hmm, we're not coming back for pho, my husband is Vietnamese and very picky about his pho--didn't make the cut, so for me :c, but the truffle fries so yummy. Thank you for the food though! read more

There have been a few Vietnamese restaurants expanding from Little Saigon (Garden Grove and Westminster) into the South Bay, including Pho Hue Oi and Pho Redbo. Having visited Pho Redbo's Garden Grove location many times, I was excited to try its Rolling Hills Estates branch. Unfortunately, while still good, it wasn't nearly as memorable. The menu at the Rolling Hills Estates location differs somewhat from the Garden Grove and Westminster branches. I appreciate that Pho Redbo is willing to experiment with new dishes and fresh interpretations of Vietnamese cuisine. That said, I didn't find the food here as satisfying as what I've consistently enjoyed at the Garden Grove location. Pho Combo - 4/5. As with every Pho Redbo I've visited, the meats are excellent - high-quality, tender, and well-prepared. One thing I've always loved about the Garden Grove and Westminster locations is their pho broth. It tastes like it's made in-house with fresh ingredients, carefully simmered to develop depth and complexity. The broth at the Rolling Hills Estates location, however, tasted much more generic. It reminded me of the broth served at many other pho restaurants. To be clear, it's still better than what you'll find at most pho spots in the South Bay, but it lacks the richness that makes Pho Redbo's original locations stand out. In my palate, the broth could use more rendered beef fat, along with a stronger balance of aromatics and spices, to create a fuller, more layered flavor. On a positive note, the rice noodles were cooked well - springy and pleasantly al dente. Pho Sandwich - 2.5/5. This is essentially Pho Redbo's take on a Vietnamese-inspired Philly cheesesteak, and I genuinely love the creativity behind the concept. Unfortunately, the execution didn't quite come together. The beef is, once again, excellent. Although the beef can use a bit more flavoring. Instead of traditional cheese, the sandwich uses a Sriracha mayo, which I thought was a clever substitution. However, the hoisin sauce (or what I believe was hoisin) was overly sweet and overpowered the other flavors. I understand this isn't meant to be a bánh mì, but I think the sandwich would benefit greatly from some pickled carrots, daikon, or/and cucumbers. The acidity and freshness would help balance the richness of the beef. The promotional photos also show a generous amount of onions, but my sandwich had very few, making it feel somewhat one-dimensional. Then there's the bread. A great Vietnamese-style sandwich still depends on a great baguette. Mine lacked the signature thin, crackly crust and slightly chewy interior. Instead, it was dry overall and overly soft and pillowy inside. One aspect I did enjoy was that the sandwich comes with a side of the same beef broth served with the pho. It's a thoughtful pairing that complements the sandwich well. Overall, I'm admittedly picky when it comes to noodle dishes, especially pho. Despite my criticisms, I still think Pho Redbo is one of the best pho restaurants in the South Bay. However, compared with its Garden Grove and Westminster locations, the Rolling Hills Estates branch falls short. Some of the flavors simply aren't as refined or memorable as those at the original locations. read more

This was our second stop on our way to LA! We wanted pho, so we decided to check this spot out. Our server recommended the flaming wagyu, which was torched tableside. It was a delicious appetizer and fun to watch! For our entrees, I got the pho with rare steak and my friend opted for the well-done brisket. I also ordered the shaken beef, but was too full to finish it. The beef was very tender and flavorful! We also got the passionfruit and lychee drinks, which came in plastic bottles. They were both very refreshing and not too sweet. All their food is halal and service was friendly and attentive. read more

A halal pho spot in South Bay!!!! This is so awesome, I really liked the original location and this one is fantastic as well! Came here with my friends and got the pho sandwich which I thought was really great! It comes perfectly sauced and the meat is super well cooked and its very flavorful. On a cold day, the pho really hits the spot. It is quite spacious on the inside with good ambiance and its located inside the mall and the sevice was also good. We got our food relatively quick. Won't have any problems with parking since you can park the mall structure read more

I recently visited Pho RedBo and had a great experience overall, especially because I'm a fan of high-quality beef dishes. The standout for me was their combo beef pho--the broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered with care. The beef was tender and well-portioned, and everything came out fresh and perfectly balanced. It's definitely a step above your typical pho spot. I also tried the Flaming Wagyu, which was both a visual and culinary highlight. The presentation was impressive, and the wagyu itself was incredibly tender with a buttery texture that melted in your mouth. It's a bit of a splurge, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself. The shaken beef was another hit--perfectly seared, juicy, and packed with flavor. It paired really well with the accompanying rice and added a nice contrast to the lighter pho. On top of the food, the customer service was attentive and friendly. Staff checked in regularly without being intrusive, and everything came out in a timely manner. You can tell they take pride in both their food and the overall dining experience. Overall, Pho RedBo delivers a modern, elevated take on Vietnamese classics with excellent service to match. I'd definitely come back. The place is located in a former dinner in a. Outdoor mall. Lots of parking spaces. read more

Visiting Pho Red Bo was such a elevated pho experience. Located at the Promenade PV, is this pho restaurant that specializes in Wagyu. Their menu consists of various dishes featuring American, Australian and Japanese A5 Wagyu. From starters like Wagyu Sliders to Main Entrees like Wagyu Beef Stew to Pho with Wagyu Oxtail, this restaurant is all about premium beef and quality ingredients. I started off my meal here with their famous Flaming Wagyu. This is not your ordinary appetizer. The slices of premium American Wagyu is brought to the table raw and the server will then torch the beef tableside on a hot stone. It's a fiery show and one that ends with the most mouthwatering, tender pieces of Wagyu beef. The thin slices of meet simply melt in the mouth and has the perfect smoky flavor. This is definitely a must try here! Aside from the Flaming Wagyu, I also got to try their Pho Sandwich. Think bahn mi reimagined French dip style. This sandwich consists of tender Wagyu brisket with fresh herbs like cilantro inside a crispy baguette. On the side is pho broth dipping sauce. It's messy, delicious and honestly one of the best bahn mi sandwiches I've ever had. I can't go to a pho spot without trying their egg rolls. I love Vietnamese egg rolls and Pho Red Bo knows how to make a good one. The egg rolls came out piping hot from the kitchen and they were perfectly golden brown. I loved the outer crisp skin and the flavorful seasoned filling. Egg rolls here truly excellent. From the main entrees, my friend and I got to try their Pho with Well Done Brisket, the Wagyu Fried Rice and the Shaken Beef with Rice. The Pho with Well Done Brisket was a quite delicious. The pho broth was slightly salty but quite heartwarming. I loved the Wagyu briskets that was tender and buttery. It paired quite well with the aromatic, rich soup base. The Wagyu Fried Rice was my favorite dish. I loved how there was large pieces of soft and juicy Wagyu. Not to be skipped is the Shaken Beef. Once again the Wagyu beef was delightful. I loved how the beef was "shaken" with onions and peppers. Last but not least, we enjoyed some house made special drinks. My friend got their Thai Tea and I got the Passion Fruit Tea. The Passion Fruit Tea is a seasonal special. It is fruity and flavorful and the perfect pair to the savory flavors of the dishes. I really enjoyed my visit to Pho Redbo. I could really tell that their dishes have quality ingredients. I love how they use premium Wagyu and how the menu features the premium beef in so many different dishes. Each dish I tried was superb and I was really impressed! I am a fan of Pho Redbo! read more

I thought this would be another whitewashed Vietnamese spot, but I was proven wrong. Everything I had here was delicious and even my Viet friend I came with approved! My friends and I did family-style for the following dishes: - Flaming Wagyu (Halal): Fun having the staff flame this table side. The meat was juicy and tender. The onions and dipping sauce added sweetness and umami flavor. - Pho Combo: Loved the broth which was perfect on its own. A generous amount of meat, but no tripe and other cartilage which is usual for "combo" pho. Still good nonetheless and a good option for pickier eaters. - Wagyu Beef Stew (Halal): Full of tender meat and carrots. Sweet and rich. Would love to try this would a side of bread as we got it with noodles this time and it was a bit too heavy. - Wagyu Fried Rice (Halal): Full of meat and flavorful. A bit too oily though, but it was still my favorite dish. Also loved that it came with a side of pho broth and fresh veggies to help cut the oily rice. - Lychee Tea: Sweet and flavorful, but a bit too sweet for my liking. Would prefer if this was diluted a bit more. I loved all the dishes. Everything was so tasty, flavorful, and had good textures. I love how all the dishes had a generous amount of meat with most of it being halal which is unique for a Vietnamese restaurant. I also really liked the interior which was American diner themed. This restaurant used to be a Ruby's diner, but it was cool of the owners to retain the diner theme and add some Vietnamese elements. The service was good and the servers were super attentive and friendly. There's street or covered mall parking as this restaurant is connected to a broader shopping area. Overall, this was such a great experience with delicious food. This spot is so underrated and deserves more attention! read more

This was really good. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't eat a lot of meat so was hesitant on trying this A5 Wagyu spot in Palos Verdes. All the food was good. So much flavor and easy on my pocket. Peter, my server, was so kind. Helped me pick out a few things from the menu for me and my pescatarian mother. Who, by the way, loved this place and asked me to take her here if she needs iron. Drinks were really good. Not too sweet! The owner, James, saw me drinking the passion fruit tea and said I was supposed to put it in the glass of ice because it's too sweet I didn't even notice it. It really wasn't too sweet for me. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this spot. read more

The A5 Wagyu noodles are hands down my favorite -- the meat is incredibly tender, rich, and just melts in your mouth. Every bite feels so indulgent and satisfying.

And don't skip the egg rolls -- perfectly crispy on the outside with a delicious, savory filling inside. Overall, everything felt high quality and thoughtfully made.

My friend and I went to diner here last week. This place is located inside of a building with an ice skating rink right next to it! There's a parking structure nearby so there's plenty of parking! Just take a little stroll over to the location! It was previously a Ruby's Diner, but it's all super cute inside with their decorations! It gave a pretty cozy vibe to it overall! Drinks we got were the lychee tea and the peach tea, both were very fruit forward, not super sweet, and it goes perfectly well with all the food you'll order! Starters: Wagyu Beef sliders, it comes with caramelized onions and melty cheese and their sauce right on top. It was juicy and the buns were perfect. Honestly just give me that and I could be settled. But we're not done! Beef and Shrimp Eggrolls, super crispy, that perfect amount of filling. And you can even use the lettuce to wrap it! It was super tasty! Flaming Wagyu, the star of the appetizers, cooked right in front of you on a lava stone with a blowtorch. We got it medium rare, and it came out perfectly. It completely melted in your mouth and they give you a ponzu sauce to dunk it in. It was amazing! Mains: Wagyu Fried Rice: Oh boy, how fried rice has now been tainted forever. I love this one so much. The beef melting in your mouth, and the broth that it comes with to heighten the flavor. *chef's kiss* Wagyu Stew: Okay, Vietnamese stew, I've never tried it, but let me say that it was actually amazing. You can taste the different flavors melting together. The meat and the veggies just melt in your mouth. You get a choice between Noodles, Rice, or a baguette, and you bet I got that baguette!!!! Pho A5 Wagyu: Now this just isn't fair. It's basically a delicious shabu with wagyu beef. The pho broth is in the stone bowl to keep it warm, and they give you the beef and noodles on the side. But best believe it was just the most amazing thing I've tasted. It's rich, you can still do some modifications, it's just overall amazing! Our servers were fantastic, they were on top of it for sure! They were so sweet and made sure everything was great! They're definitely a reason to come back on top of some great food! read more

Wow, this menu was top tier quality! You can really taste the difference with Wagyu beef. The Phở was so rich and the Bò kho stew had all the flavors from my childhood. What's really unique is their menu items which is a modern twist on Classics like the Phở French Dịp, Wagyu Sliders and Wagyu fried rice and that table side flaming Wagyu was both fun /interactive and a tasty bite. The Rolling Hills location was located in an outdoor type shopping plaza with a parking lot attached to the plaza. The restaurant has a fun diner vibe with booths as well as a view to the next door ice Rinker. Huge thank you to our server Lucy and team including Anna and the chefs!!!

Pho Redbo is tucked away in the corner of the Promenade in PV and is a great find if you're a meat lover. Their Vietnamese pho leans heavily into beef, with options like rich beef broths and even Wagyu pho that really cater to people who want a hearty, meat-forward bowl. Just a heads up for vegetarians--there are no vegetarian options here except the fries. One thing that surprised me is that they don't offer chicken pho. They do have shrimp pho though, and it's actually really tasty. They're generous with the shrimp too, which I appreciated. I'm a sucker for anything truffle, so I had to try the white truffle fries. Unfortunately, they were a letdown. The truffle flavor was barely there, and for $9 you get a pretty small basket of shoestring fries. Not really worth it in my opinion. Service, however, was great to amazing. Even about five minutes before closing, they were still welcoming and didn't turn anyone away. That kind of hospitality definitely stood out. Another nice touch is the view overlooking the ice skating rink in the mall--it's a fun little scene while you eat. Overall: great spot for beef lovers and solid service, but I'd skip the truffle fries next time. read more

We had dinner here the other night. There is ample parking in the structure next to the center they are located in. The restaurant itself is large and the former home of Ruby's Diner. We started with a lychee tea and a peach tea. Both were so flavorful and refreshing. We got the wagyu sliders. Tasty and super tender wagyu burgers. Nice way to start. Next was the flaming wagyu plate. They torch the wagyu tableside. It is quite the show. Dip the wagyu in the ponzu sauce they give you. You won't regret it. We got the wagyu fried rice as well. I am still thinking about it. So flavorful and putting the broth on the rice took it to another level. For mains we got the wagyy beef stew. As one who isn't a stew fan, well this changed me. The broth was so tasty and the beef and vegetables literally melted in my mouth. Would totally get this again. Finally, we got the A5 wagyu pho. Game changer. The A5 melts in your mouth. A surreal experience. The staff here was incredibly friendly and helpful. This will be your pho restaurant of choice. read more

They don't sell alcohol but they have great drink options like thai iced tea. The ambiance is chill and casual. read more

This pho is fancy, and the prices reflect that. The Pho Combo is worth the price, IMO - the broth is rich, and the rare steak is great, the brisket fatty and tender, and the rib cubes melt in your mouth. Don't pay for the upgrades - I tried the Wagyu Oxtail, and the meat so tough I had to take it home to avoid ugly-gnawing on it in public. Shaken Beef uses a quality cut but is bland, and the Wagyu Beef Stew is alright but the beef chunks have varying levels of tenderness. Great Eggrolls! So crispy that the crunch vibrates through your head. The beef is extra good, and the shrimp adds extra flavor. There were some mehs and misses but I would come back for the regular pho. read more

Amazing food and service!!! We ordered: 1) Pho w/ Wagyu A5 2) Golden Truffle Fries 3) Crispy Egg Rolls 4) Fried Rice 5) Peach Tea 6) Lychee Tea The pho was super delicious.

Something I probably would pass on are the egg rolls. They were just ok. I also didn't eat it right away. We ordered way too much food. I had an egg roll later and it was not crispy, but I also ate it later that day. Service was fantastic. Friendly and fast service. Our waiter was incredible!!!!

Located next to the ice rink you'd think this random pho place wouldn't be anything special but it's definitely worth a visit! First of all there is plenty of seating and very nice decorations in the restaurant. For parking there is a parking lot (which can get full when there's hockey practice) or street parking. As for the food, we got the rare steak and tender beef cube pho which were just so delicious The tender beef pho was my fave and they definitely don't skimp on the meat. They really live up to their wagyu pho name! Lastly, the service is wonderful, they were always making sure we were taken cared of. Definitely would recommend! read more

Expensive, but overall good quality pho. It's located in Rolling Hills estates right by the ice rink. It's a smart location, lots of families come by after ice skating lessons and have dinner there. There's plenty of seating inside. Service is a bit slow or they're just understaffed. We came when it was relatively empty around 5pm, but the one waitress/front desk person told us to wait a few minutes since she was the only person I saw taking orders, serving, and seating. Eventually someone came out and seated us. I think during time we dined there, they only had 2 waiters taking orders and serving for the entire place and one person packing up all of their to-go orders. Took a while also to take our orders, I saw the same waitress seat and take orders from another table before we finally got our server to acknowledge us and take our order. Staff is very friendly and helpful when they get to you. The food is of good quality. I think because of their location and the locals they're targeting in the area, it's well done. Food is generally expensive for what you get. You're looking at a $20 regular sized and $24 large pho, with more premium options up to $45 with A5 wagyu. I miss the days when pho was an affordable comfort food. They give you plenty of bean sprouts, basil and jalapenos. Don't hesitate to ask for more if you need, no additional charge. The broth is delicious, maybe slightly saltier than I'd like, but very flavorful. We got the large combo and it was a good amount of noodles. All of the beef is really good (rare steak, cubes, brisket). Perfectly tender and just the right amount of fat. The meatball is nothing special. Overall, while the pho is good and worth a try, it's not a place I'd come back to often. It's a bit out of the way in Rolling Hills, and there's a lot of other options in my opinion for good pho and better value. read more

(Edited my review below, June 12) Thoughts on visit... This place is a hidden gem. If you are new to the Palos Verdes area like I was--expect that you may get a little lost at first. The place is located within the promenade, which is an outlet with really good restaurants & shops to check out every once and a while. Which I will write a seperate review soon. Customer Service The customer service is amazing, the waiters greeted us inside. Food didn't take too long to arrive. Location I ordered a Bánh Mì, which didn't take so long. It was convenient that the restaurant was in the mall so that me and my siblings could try different foods. Ambiance Rating Ambiance was amazing, loved the inside. It felt so retro and modern, which is something I am interested in. So if you are into a place that has a retro vibe next to a skating rink and located in Palos Verdes. Thoughts I will say, by objective rating--this restaurant is very spacious, spotless, and the area is so thrilling and my family loved exploring. I had a fun time with them even after we got lost at first trying to find this restaurant. I would love to come back and see more of the dining one of these days. Food Review But as I am trying the Bánh Mì during my second experiance, the food didn't taste as good as it did the first time I came here. I don't know how that worked, and if it was just my frame of mind at the time. The first time we visited, it was late but we had time to wait a little and eat. The vegetables of the bánh mi had a earthy taste and packed of flavor with the meats. The sauces were tangy and perfect combination of spicy and sweet. I am not a professional when it comes to bành mì, but I am not unfamiliar with it either. And the sandwich didn't really seem like the Bành mì I usually order. It felt more like something you would get out of an American sandwich restaurant. As I tried it again, the Bánh mì gave me the same thoughts, only now that I am tasting it for a second time--I personally feel like it isn't something I would eat over and over again. I don't know why, but the first experience trying it was most memorable. Conclusion But of course, don't let this review be your sign not to go, because you might end up with a different reaction. Thank you for the amazing service and thrilling experiance, Pho Redbo! I would come back to see and try any new items and see what is interesting to try. But as of now, nothing could beat the first experiance of trying it. read more

The Promenade is experiencing a revival and new places are popping up left and right. Pho Redbo is one such newcomer to the area. It's pho but allegedly with wagyu beef instead. Not sure if the upcharge in price is worth it here. Pho and affordable go hand in hand and I didn't taste much difference compared to other places. Yes, the broth and pretty much everything is good and acceptable per pho standards, but it doesn't stand out because of the higher meat quality. Either way, you can come here if Pho Hana up the street is too busy haha. Redbo also serves random appetizers like sliders too which also are pretty standard and unremarkable. It fills you up though in case a big bowl of pho wasn't enough to do so. Anyhow, point is, Pho Redbo is decent, just maybe not at its price point. read more

I got the large combo and it was generous, sweet and noodles to perfection. I can't say the Wagyu was anything above but good, don't come because it is Wagyu come because you like good Pho read more

This one makes me sad to write. I have been following Pho Redbo since the Garden Grove days. I used to drive from South Bay all the way down there because the broth was that good. The Wagyu, the rib cubes, the quality of the meat, the whole thing felt like somebody had taken pho seriously without ruining what made it pho in the first place. So when they opened in Rolling Hills Estates, I was genuinely excited. I thought, finally. This is going to be the pho place for my family. And for a while, it was. We came regularly, probably three times a month at one point. I remember seeing the owner there in those early months, watching the room, paying attention. The place felt cared for. Somewhere along the way, that disappeared. A few months ago, I brought another family here because I had talked the place up. The service was horrendous. Napkins, water, basic requests, we had to chase down everything. The restaurant was not particularly busy, but the staff seemed permanently overwhelmed. I let it go. The food was still good, and after years of loving a place, you give it the benefit of the doubt. This last visit was harder to ignore. We walked into an almost empty restaurant with our two and four year old and still stood at the entrance waiting to be seated. Five minutes became ten while one server tried to manage what looked like maybe six tables. She was nice. She apologized profusely. I have nothing personal against her. But nice and overwhelmed is still overwhelmed and a restaurant cannot run on apologies. Once we finally sat down, the food came out and thankfully, the kitchen is still doing its job. The pho is still very good. The broth still has depth. The meat quality is still there. Our request to put the slider sauce on the side for the kids was handled correctly. There is still a very good restaurant somewhere inside this place. But the service has fallen apart around it. No check ins. No water refills. Napkins had to be requested. The food runner looked irritated to be there. The entire room had that strange feeling of a restaurant with employees in it but nobody actually watching the restaurant. The most telling moment was not even ours. Near the end of our meal, another family came in with children and an elderly woman. They stood at the entrance waiting. And waiting. Nobody seated them. Nobody seemed to take ownership of the fact that actual customers were standing at the front door. Eventually, they left. That should scare the hell out of whoever owns this place. Because people are still coming. The food is still good. The brand still has goodwill. I am living proof of that, I used to drive across Southern California for this broth. But you can only ask the kitchen to carry the entire restaurant for so long. I genuinely hope someone fixes this. Put an experienced person in the room. Staff the front properly. Train people to notice an empty water glass, a family standing at the door, a table that needs napkins. These are not luxury service expectations. This is restaurant service. I still want Pho Redbo to be great. That is what makes this so disappointing. The food did not lose me. The restaurant around it is trying very hard to. read more

No words, just wow. My husband and I traveled from out of town, where we don't usually see too many halal Asian restaurants. As you can see, we got PLENTY of food and they were all transcending the game. Our server was kind and we were taken care of quickly. If you're in town and craving comfort food, stop by Pho Redbo immediately! read more

Love this new location, I've been going to their Garden Grove location for a while now and it's so exciting that they opened in South Bay. From their menu, I've only had the Pho and Truffle Fries so we decided to branch out and try new dishes. We tried the Wagyu Beef Stew and Fried Rice, both were amazing. The Wagyu Beef Stew stood out to us as it was so tender, flavorful, and we dipped our fries in it (highly recommend). The workers are so nice and provided great service, we were impressed with how quick everything came out considering it was starting to get busy. They have plenty of seating indoors and is great for larger parties too. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Chanced upon this place while looking for the Ruby's that used to be in this spot. It was a pleasant surprise for us because it gave us a chance to try something new. The place has ample seating, is nicely decorated, and has a great view of the skating rink next door. Our server was friendly and provided menu recommendation. The pho broth was flavorful and the meat was fresh and of good quality. The shaken beef is yummy! They also serve halal meat. Will come back for more. read more

TL;DR - The pho was good. The wagyu beef stew (bo kho) was fire. Looking forward to their wagyu fried rice next! I wasn't sure how much better pho and beef stew would taste if wagyu was used compared to the usual cuts of beef but I was pleasantly surprised! The pho tasted really good and the meat was really tender. The broth was nicely made as well (and it tastes different from the baby pho they give you). Oh if you have kids under 5 years of age then they get a free baby pho! And by baby pho, it's still a decent amount of noodles. I had to finish it for my kid lol. The highlight of the meal was their wagyu beef stew (bo kho). I love this dish. I typically can't find it as easily in areas outside of Orange County where there is a much larger presence of Vietnamese restaurants. When I am able to order it at other places in the South Bay or LA, I'm usually pretty 'meh' about the flavor. But they do it SO WELL here! My thoughts after my first bite was "oh hell yeah!". The meat was delicious and tender. The broth was the highlight. The spices were perfect and it was thick enough that it soaked into the bread that comes with it! Service was decent despite how busy they are. The restaurant was packed when we went. Apparently they're known for their wagyu fried rice as well. I look forward to trying this next. read more

I first heard about this place from POV Husband. I was definitely impressed by the crispy egg rolls and pho combo. The wagyu beef stew was good but was very oily and I wish it had more carrots. The Vietnamese iced coffee was wonderful. The restaurant has a unique exterior and cute interior. It's interesting to watch the skaters at the ice rink next door as you dine. read more
