I'm so excited to have a little pho place in this neighborhood. If you ask for the special pho they will prepare it with a little beef steak, tripe, tendon, and meat ball. Otherwise you can order it with just one item. The soup broth was delicious and there was plenty of meat and vegetables. Also ordered the fried egg roll which was very hot, comes with some lettuce and mint to wrap around it, and was quite tasty. read more

Food is great but man paying $17.24 for a rice plate with chicken and a few shrimp pieces it's a bit overpriced. We used to come here often but not anymore. read more

Great authentic Vietnamese food. Chef's specials are great and Pho broth is rich in flavor

I used to go to this place cause the food is good BUT I order a thai ice with boba no ice, and they gave me almost 3/4 of the cup full, when I asked if they can fill it up to the top of the cup, the server said,no, sorry, like is olmost a $5 cup of ice tea, why not? I guess cause I ordered with no ice they gave me less juice,that's ridiculous, the servers there forgot that they work for tips? read more

I got the bun bo hue and the broth was too salty. It was late in the day when you're getting served what's at the bottom of the pot, but you hope the cooks check that. The broth also didn't have that extra edge. Was sort of flat in my opinion. I'm spoiled though, usually eating pho in City Heights and Convoy. Veggies were fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Always comes down to the food though. Has to. read more

This place was decent enough. I was skeptical at first because I was worried they wouldn't have much for vegetarian options. They actually had a vegetarian menu (although small, there were enough choices to choose from). I wanted to try their pho but ended up with the kung pao vegetarian chicken (ultimately was tofu). It was very flavorful and good. As for service, it was alright. Our waiter wasn't the most peppy of people but he was nice enough. Although it was empty with only my friend and I there (2 other gentlemen were there upon us arriving but were finished not too long after) thee entire kitchen staff, our waiter and the young lady working behind the register all began having lunch together. Not that it was a big deal, but I would think they would wait until their only 2 customers left before taking their lunch break. read more

This isn't my first time here...I've been here twice before tonight. But tonight was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! DO NOT GO HERE BY ALL MEANS!! I ordered a chicken pho just the broth and noodles. First my pho Was lukewarm not even hot or piping hot second it tasted like water I am dead serious water I added chili oil beforehand before I tasted it and it tasted like water I asked the guy that works there all the time to give me a refund and he was pretty upset about it he kept going on and on saying that his boss A.k.a. the owner of this horrible disgusting establishment didn't give out refunds. And that I was wrong about the chicken broth just had less sodium but I can tell the difference between less sodium and something that just taste like water with chili oil the fact that he kept telling me that I was wrong and I didn't know what I was talking about and that he really didn't want to give me a refund was absolutely unacceptable unprofessional and the fact that I have gone here more than once and he was acting like I've never been here before was a slap in the face as a customer best believe I will never go here again I am suggesting you and everyone else to never come here. The audacity of this guy instead of apologizing and offering a refund he wanted to make sure that he made a sale out of me he even said what do you want me to do about it are you serious?! How about a refund or some thing else on the menu but honestly if they can't even make the most basic thing correct I don't want anything else from their damn menu. read more

Place is clean. Service is kind and as adequate as any other similar place. Let's be honest, you go to a pho place to eat delicious soup. Been here a few times and I generally go for the rare steak, the girlfriend the veggie soup. Hearty broth in each, which is what what makes it our new go to pho spot. All meats, vegetables, and condiments are fresh and clean. Everything comes together for a satisfying meal. Two days later, we are craving it again. read more

Pho Royal - Rare steak pho and Vegetable soup - just veggies - Vietnamese Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

Truly a terrible experience eating here. The service was horrible and the food left a lot to be desired. The meat was chewy and had no taste and there is no way it was filet mignon. It was overpriced and just overall not a good meal. We will not be returning. read more

Only reason I'm giving them 1 star is because of the tea store next door. I will never Eva Eva Eva go back an I will never recommend this place to anyone. The food was over cooked had no flavor. The orange chicken was all around just nasty. read more

I used to come here all the time over a year ago I was in the neighborhood and the first place I thought was here .. I should of kept driving .. I loved their fresh spring rolls but boy I felt disrespected I got 4 of them for $10 I received a box at first I thought they forgot my other 2 cus normally they're big to the point where only 2 fit in the box .. I got the tiniest spring rolls of my life I was so sad never again read more

Today I do not have much appetite, and I ordered mix veggie noodle soup. And it helps me feel better, thank you!

This is a great place. I have been several times for restaurant dining and take out. This is not a large crowded restaurant. It is a more intimate setting where you can relax, visit and enjoy a good meal. I have never had a negative experience. The food is great. Quick service, good portions, and good prices. I brought my Granddaughter here. Now this is our favorite spot for Pho. She likes it so much she is going to bring her friends. read more

The food is pretty good and service is fast for a pho place and my girlfriend and I used to come here pretty often. The only problem is that they raised the prices to $17 to $16 for a large bowl. Used to be 12 to 15 ish range. The size is decent but adds up when a bigger groups comes in. read more

I went in today to check this place out because of the Yelp reviews and it is closer to my house than the regular Pho restaurant I typically go too. I ordered the Bran Thread Shrimp Stir fry to go. It was very bland, shrimp did not taste good. Also for the price $10.95 you received little food. I looked at my plate and said wow this is all I get. While paying for my food the guy at the register threw my change at me in my hand and when I looked at him, he replied "Is that all?" I was extremely upset by that. My experience today makes me not want to dine here again, I rather go out my way and eat at another place where I won't get my money thrown at me and where the cashiers have respect! One positive is that the Thai Tea was delicious. read more

DO NOT ORDER THAT GROSS AND UNEDIBLE CARAMELIZED SPARE RIBS!!! The waitress already warned me that I might not like it and yet I didn't listen so I guess that's partly my fault. I just assumed that it was like the typical grilled spare ribs you can order from any Vietnamese restaurant. Sadly, I was totally wrong. But, if they already know it's not good, why are they serving it??? It just tasted so weird and not fresh. The soup and the spring roll was decent. Apparently, all orders are final (see attached pic). I do not recommend this place. read more

I'm so bummed! My fave pho restaurant has really changed. Their broth no longer had that clove/star anise forward flavor. I asked the waiter if the north recipe had changed after two visits. He asked the owner who said something like...stupid question...it not change. What a condescending as*hole. Unfortunately, I think I'll go elsewhere. read more

Been here twice in recent days. One was dining in and another was to go. Great food, very tasty, but horrible service. Both times I visited, this younger asian gentlemen in a white hoodie and round glasses served us. Both times, he had a terrible mood and no customer service. The first time I was there I understood that it was 30 mins to closing. I figured his sour mood was because of that. However, the second time I encountered him, he was in the same sour mood if not worse. I had ordered online and left instructions on the order that I wanted chili paste and soy sauce. I asked upon picking up, if there was all the condiments I had requested. He looked and me, hunched his shoulders and said maybe. I opened the bag to check, this seemed to really annoy him. I took a quick glance, saw that there was no soy sauce and asked for a few packets. He walked away, grabbed like four, dropped them in my bag and walked away without a word. I still said thank you and have a nice day. He didnt care. O and there was ONE sriracha packet. I dont like sriracha, which is why I asked for chili paste. *update* went back to give one more try. Floor so dirty, not even swept. However, their cockroaches are very friendly. Friendlier than the servers. Done with this place. read more

Much better. Fatty brisket is much better here now. Gave it another 2 stars. Thank you. The pork bbq that we ordered though was raw. May want to fix that. My girlfriend is definitely disappointed that she had raw meat in her food. This is probably our last time here. I was hoping that this pho restaurant can be our main to go to but I was wrong. Good luck. read more

If I could give zero stars to costumer service I would !! I came here with my cousin who is a vegan she asked for a fried rice with steamed tofu the guy got all mad and stated saying that he has been working for alot of years and that they never make the Tofu like that etc etc. I asked for half veggie and half regular eggrolls and he denied to make them like that He was veey rude and just for that I am not coming back EVER. read more

This place is pretty good! They use NO MSG in their phõ which is both amazing and hard to find. I usually get the lean steak phõ I've always been satisfied with the taste and portion the small is $6.50 and will fill you up my girlfriend and I dine here about once a week only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the service the past 2 times we ate here they only had 1 person waiting tables which is somewhat understandable since it's a small place just a little annoying read more

First time trying this place out, and it's pretty good I really liked the ambiance, it was quiet, and the music definitely made the experience serene. The people working the place were also very kind and cool, definitely made it a good eat for me. I'd give 4.5 stars just because it's decent food for a decent price that fills you up, especially when you're craving good pho! read more

Went here about 2 years ago there was a bug in my pho :( I also heard another table tell the waiter there was a bug that fell off the wall onto their table safe to say I always drive past this place but haven't been back since . Here's your review 2 years later lol read more

I love to eat pho and I love to try different places. I have been to so many different places to eat pho. Today I was driving pretty close to this place so I decided to try it. OMG THIS HAVE TO BE THE WORST PLACE TO EAT. We came in the three of us. I ordered pho with light onion so they decided to not give me any onions. The serve sat three tables down from us and stared at us the entire time we couldn't even enjoy our food. I asked for a refill on my drink and as one of the serve was about to come the one that was sitting was like no refill as he watched us. Every time I needed something the server took a deep breath like I was getting on his nerves. If he was doing his job I wouldn't need to call him to my table. This place made me feel uncomfortable and I am very unhappy. If I could give them a negative star I would!!!! read more

The Pho was watered down. Their Vietnamese coffee is pre-made and uberly sweet, tasted more like chcocolate milk. I got the spicy lemongrass soup, which was not spicy and I found a piece of sponge metal fiber on it. They ran out of 2 things that brought me in. Stuffed squid and the vietnamese fermented rice balls. I don't think I will be coming back here. read more

I have been here on several occasions and unfortunately I have noticed a steady decline in the service and quality of food at this establishment. This is a damn shame because this restaurant had great potential. The wait staff had little knowledge pertaining to several items on their menu and the boba in the shakes had a questionable texture. I also noticed that the cashier was on her damn cell phone the whole time I was there! Never coming back here and I would recommend that you stay clear from this freakin cesspool. read more

The service was alright. Tables kind of dirty. When we walk in you can smell pho broth. Which is a good sign. But I don't know if it's good. I world the meal C-4 which was rice with half a chicken that was crispy. I didn't get to eat it. My family finish all their pho. And my food still didn't come out. After waiting for exactly 27 minute I ask they where my meal. The waiter went in and ask. He came out and said the chef forgot to cook it. I said forget the food. The cashier was kind enough to apologize and said if I want a order of small pho Togo for free because of the incident. But I said it was ok. I don't need that. read more

The worst place!!! Ordered my regular and my sons kids soup only to find a dime size bug in my sons soup. So disappointing. I had to call the waiter over to my table to show him and instead of apologizing he kept starring at the bug to figure out what kind of bug it was and then said "oh it comes from the onion". I couldn't believe what I heard!! read more

Food is always great here! Pho soup and fried egg rolls are yummy. Customer service is awesome, and fast service!

Extremely disappointing. My boyfriend ordered shrimp wonton soup and when it came out it was nothing like the photo on the menu. There were no vegetables like the picture and the broth was extremely watery. The avocado smoothie tasted nothing like avocado. My chicken pho was okay, and my lychee smoothie was very good. read more

I was very impressed with the decor when I walked through the door with my husband. He gobbled up the steamed dumplings and the Pho he ordered. I loved my sandwich! I felt that the wait staff was very attentive but the cashier was on her cell phone from the time that we walked in, to the time that we left. I felt that she could have helped our waiter a bit, but maybe thats not what she was there for. [Her outfit was cute though] I can not wait until our next visit. read more
