    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
    Rene G.

    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

    Love this place..food is always on point. Highly recommend them. Hats off to the dj who made the play list...Music be on point!

    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
    Karla B.

    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.

    Samantha C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Lots of regulars in the restaurant it seemed. On this night , there were short staffed and I had to remind my server about my order a few times. The manager came out to apologize. She was a very good manager and handled things well. She offered me a discount, but I refused. Instead, she gave me a refreshing watermelon drink on the house.

Since there are multiple locations, we debated between the South Gate and Whittier spots because they're both about the same distance from us in Montebello. For our first visit, I'm really glad we chose this location. The shopping center is huge, so finding parking was easy, even though the area was busy. When we walked in, the restaurant was pretty crowded. All of the booths were occupied, and only a few tables were available, so we waited about five minutes while a staff member cleaned a booth for us. Once seated, we looked over the menu and ordered the egg rolls and garlic truffle fries to start. For our entrées, we chose the ribeye pho and chicken pho. The server was kind enough to offer me a sample of the salted coffee. I had already had coffee earlier in the day, so I didn't order one, but I'm glad I tried it because I'll definitely be getting one next time. Instead, I ordered the cucumber limonade. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're looking for a good late-night pho spot.

We always make the drive out here almost an hour every time as we're not from the area. Last week, there was long hair in our chowmein. We didn't see this until we ate it at home and it was buried underneath everything. Disgusting. Today, we ordered their vegan popcorn chicken and it was EXTREMELY SALTY. As in very, very salty. Like the chef went crazy and doused the entire batch with MSG. It was SO SALTY that it was inedible. Only ate a few pieces. We tried to like it but couldn't eat it. It raised my blood pressure immediately and had to stop eating. We returned it for them to remake it not salty. They were nice enough to do so. Had to wait an additional time for them to remake it. However, the second batch wasn't as bad as the first one, but was still on the salty side. The first two times we've been here it wasn't salty at all. I'm not sure who was cooking today, but they went crazy with the salt. The second batch was still bad, we didn't want to wait another 20 minutes for a redo so we left. Needless to say it ruined the appetite and barely ate anything. Also, the vegan popcorn chicken wasn't consistent the last two times we ate here. Last time the texture was different and it looked different. It was either cooked differently or was a different brand that they used. This time, it was EXTREMELY SALTY. Cooked twice and was still salty. We've been coming here to support the small business, but not sure if we'll be coming back anymore because of this. It's been inconsistent every single time. Not to mention the hair we found in our food that we forgot to mention to them today 8/1/26.

I felt almost confused at first, like as if the restaurant wasn't even sure of its own identity. However, once I started eating the food, I understood and am extremely impressed. I had ordered the crawfish pasta, popcorn chicken (spicy), and fried baos. The pasta was cooked perfectly with chunks of crawfish and sausage in a creamy tomato-esque sauce. I usually don't care for crawfish, but it was so delicious here. The sauce was so buttery and creamy, and the sausage added a cajun spice to the dish. The components are all very seafood boil, but felt different and innovative with unique flavors. The popcorn chicken was seasoned very well and had the perfect fried, crispy texture you'd expect from popcorn chicken. What really made this unique was the sauce that it was served with. I am not sure what exactly the sauce is, but it tastes like a ginger scallion sauce that is served with Chinese boiled chicken. The sauce is a little more elevated and flavorful than a traditional ginger scallion sauce. I would've never thought to combine popcorn chicken with it, but it works! The fried baos were the most surprising to me. I was keeping my expectations low because I usually think frying something that's not normally fried doesn't always bode well. Fear not, the baos were fried perfectly. They were fried lightly while the inside kept your typical bao consistency. Also, in case you were wondering the type of bao, it is basically a steamed bao with ground pork, and I think an egg yolk inside. The flavors felt very much like traditional dim sum, yet new and fresh. Hats off to the chefs and the creators of these dishes. So innovative while still keeping the familiar Asian flavors!

The only thing is I wish they offered more meal options or variety of noodles as they only offer three. They do offer other items on the menu.I would go again for the noodles.
