    Spring rolls so delish
    Bev M.

    Food was delicious. Quality was so fresh and flavorful. Their booths are spacious and comfy. I loved how they left a very modern gold water canister that was spill proof at the table. There were only 2 guys working, so getting our order took a bit,, but, they were both very nice and did their best helping everyone. Would definitely go again to try their seafood boil

    Cajun Fries

    Finally something new in Pico Rivera ! I recently had the pleasure of trying out some amazing food, and everything was top-notch! * Thai Tea (10/10): The perfect blend of sweetness--rich, creamy, and absolutely refreshing. * Cajun Fries (10/10): Perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of Cajun spice, flavorful but not overpowering. They do offer boba but I opted out. * Pho Grilled Beef: The portions were generous, and the flavor was incredible. Cooked to perfection and full of bold taste. * 1lb of Shrimp with Secret Sauce: The shrimp were cooked beautifully, and the secret sauce had such a rich and delicious flavor. I was so excited that I forgot to take a pic lol Highly recommend this spot if you're craving flavorful and well-prepared food. Everything was a hit!

    Combo # 2 Bag. Snow crab legs, mussels, shrimp, corn, sausage and potatoes.
    Christina P.

    This was my first time eating here. I was actually grabbing some things next door at dollar tree and wanted something different to eat in the area then your typical chain food spots, so this was perfect. Haven't seen to many spots that offer Pho and Crab Boil. We went with the crab boil today. When you order the bag, you get an extra item free between mussels and shrimp, so we got some extra shrimp. We ordered our bag medium spice which was perfect, just enough kick to keep it flavorful and tasty. Surprisingly it was pretty decent. I'm really picky when it comes to crab boil. The snow crab legs weren't puny and actually had some meat to them. It wasn't your typical all head shrimp where you peel it, it was more like the shrimp you find in your pasta dish but good I have to say. Very friendly service. We spent $100 bucks for 2. Comparatively I spend more than that at my regular spot for crab boil so I was content.

    Combo 3. King crab snow crab peeled shrimp. Whole shrimp potatoes corn. Egg rolls spring rolls p08 pho rice noodles and shrimp thia tea
    Angie A.

    Omg. Send help. I can't move at all. I am So full. This place is one of the best Pho spots. I am really picky with everything but I was not disappointed. Combo 3, rice noodles with grilled shrimp, egg rolls and spring rolls were better than any place I've been to. The staff is very nice and the environment is so relaxing to the point I didn't feel like arguing with my boyfriend about eating all the corn.

    egg rolls and spring rolls

    Combination rice plate of beef, chicken, pork and shrimp, (minus the eggroll)
    Camille R.

    I was planning to eat here for the first time on a Friday, but I had a schedule issue and came a day before since I needed to bring some spring rolls home. I decided to dine in for myself first, then take the spring rolls to go. When I came in, I was greeted and seated. I was intrigued that they served Vietnamese fare, Crab boil and Shabu Shabu all in one place, but when I saw the menu, I saw alot of Viet food, a small section for crab boil and I must have missed the section for shabu shabu. I ordered the steamed rice combination plate since it was only 2 dollars more than the beef only plate. It came with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and an eggroll on the menu, but I didn't realize until I posted my picture of it, that I didnt actually get my eggroll. The music was contemporary, but slightly loud. I was the only one there at the time. When I tried the beef, the marinate was so flavorful, I even complimented them on it. What bothered me was the fish sauce. It was cloudy in appearance, instead of the usual clear water consistency. While I was dipping my lettuce in it, I must of brought out something from the bottom of it because because a small, black, winged insect the size of a sesame seed was floating in it. Not sure if it was in there already, or if it came off the lettuce leaf. I didn't say anything, I just asked for another side of fish sauce. My Husband's review of his spring rolls was: "although they are very big, they fall apart as you eat them. Thinner would of been easier to bite." I loved their beef, but I think I will try their pho next time.

    Pho Back Ribs

    Went here for lunch and the food was good! I usually don't eat in this area but for it being outside the 626 area it was pretty solid. I came with my partner and we had two different pho bowls. I enjoyed mine which was the big bone and my partner enjoyed his pho. The broth was great and not too oily which was perfect. Food came quickly and would stop by here again if I'm in the area!

    Beef Ball Pho with veggies
    Cristina V.

    A hidden gem for sure. To start, I like the layout and decor of this place. The music selection was so good! I ordered the Beef Pho with veggies which was good. The beef balls were honestly the star of the show. I had plenty beef balls at other location, but the ones here are pretty darn good. Now, the Pho itself was just ok. I am not a fan of sweet Pho and although, the broth was both sweet and savory, it was a little more on the sweeter side which is not my preference, but might be yours! I definitely will be coming back because they have more items on the menu not just Pho. Lastly, the service was great. I was greeted nicely and was seated quickly. The food also came out really fast. Forgot to mentioned that I ordered their passion fruit, get it! It was bomb.

    PHO FILET MIGNON
    Mayra N.

    The pho filet mignon was very delicious, the broth was so rich and the meat was so tender . Everything was great from the service to the amazing restaurant atmosphere. I would 100 percent recommend to anyone, I come from Rosemead where there is many PHO RESTAURANTS BUT this restaurant really standed out and let me tell you when this is the best PHO I have ever tasted . The host was very nice, kind and attentive with his customers. I will be returning to try more of their menu items.

    Tried this place and came back for some more. I enjoyed the ambiance and decor. They have good music playing too. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the pho very much and will be back again. They serve it hot and takes a bit to cool, just the way I like.

    Veggie & Dumpling Pho soup.  1/2 chicken spring rolls.
    Lilie G.

    I called in to place an order to go. I was told 5 minutes for my order to be ready. I arrived about 20 minutes after. My order consisted of 2 chicken spring rolls and a veggie & dumpling Pho soup. I loved the options of beef, chicken, or shrimp for the spring rolls. Happy to say the food was still warm when I picked it up and tasted delicious! Best Pho spot in Pico Rivera! I will be back to try the filet mignon pho next.

    Iced Thai Tea 10/10!
    Karina L.

    Ordered takeout and was beyond impressed! Only took 10 minutes for order to be ready. First time trying out this place! So happy it's close to home without the need to driving to the San Gabriel area for Vietnamese food. We ordered the Grilled Beef Pho which was delicious! Only $13.99! Broth was well balanced and so tasty! They were very generous with the condiments. Add everything in and some chili paste/siracha, chili oil, and some hoisin sauce and wow! Amazing! The pho portion is quite big and can easily be shared between two adults. I had to order shrimp spring rolls since they are my absolute favorite. They did not disappoint! I got the order of 4 pieces which was only $9.99! Vegetables were fresh and crunchy! The peanut dipping sauce was delicious! And I love they included a side of chopped peanuts to top off the sauce! 10/10 sooooo good! The iced thai tea was very good too! Not watered down at all! ($6) They didn't have any boba at the time which would have made it even more delicious! The restaurant is very clean and pretty inside! Very spacious too. Parking is ample since this gem is located in the same lot, next to superior market. The service was fast and very friendly. We will definitely return to try other items and repeat on pho and spring rolls. They definitely have new regular customers! So happy to see a quality Vietnamese restaurant so close to home.

    The food, and the service of this place is dope, yo!- but before I elaborate on the qualities that…read moremake this place blaze I want to begin with what confused me into a state of silly contemplation. I was not confused to a stupor that left me angry and frustrated, I was left more dazed with swirling lilies around my mind, like I had been hit hard with the staff of a fairy who pays the bills of the forest as an interior designer. The place has a design concept that takes two opposing forces and blends them into a restaurant concept: health forward food for O.G.'s and their like and crew, all while being a love letter to the streets of Los Angeles, the gritty streets, not the ones next to Rodeo. For instance, Cruz, one of the staff members, was wearing a "Straight out of Whittier" shirt that was clear nod to the movie straight out of Compton that was all about the rap and its consequence on West LA homeboy culture. The central mural of the joint showed low-riders, the LA symbol made with finger angles, and graffiti galore. Again, the message was clear this is a health cafe for Tupac and his friends and followers. These two principal ingredients mixing together (health food and LA street culture) at least in my mind, are more the subject for improv comedy than a sensible restaurant concept. I know people can mix what ever they want together, I know that there is choice when people color and dress, but this motif seemed like it was mixing Ninja culture with a dog grooming service. The concept can work, I see a ninja de-worming a golden retriever with swift skill but this concept also seems forced rather than flowing with common sense. So for a health cafe in LA I see Cher from Clueless, or Barbie, being more easily applied to the concept.But what do I know perhaps in a few months will have a Hell's Angel's tea experience that will not be dainty but rather hard like a helmet and it might be the concept that begins a revolution that ends with Hair Salons with Viking culture at its decoration theme. The (health) food in itself was a blessing. My friend Bailey is the healthy eater of the two of us! She got a simple green salad with tofu. I sampled a forkful. My hand had to dig in hard, with its fork, to retrieve the lettuce, the carrot, and some of the pickle, I avoided the tofu. The greens were fresh, and tasted clean in their simple flavors, but what elevated the green forkful to excellence in taste was the sweet mustard dressing. The green had dressing that turned solid greens to yummy ones! I ordered the shrimp tostada. Cruz, came to the table and explained that my plate was Keto friendly, which meant that it was good food for those who were experiencing life as a pre-diabetic, for example. What I loved about this place and its food, was that I did not feel like I was eating healthy and had to sacrifice pleasure in the name of honoring my health goals. Quite the contrary, the food was just plain good food, and for me, eating good clean food, is a fantastic way to keep my health goals on track. Apparently the tortilla was made out of cactus, and that is a why where the healthy stays in tact, while still being food that is satisfying, and, yummy! I would go here again, especially when my health goals are in full swing. This place will facilitate the process because the food was truly good!
