    The service was good, however the food was ok. The pho tai was not bad, I asked for the noodles on the side which I really appreciated them doing that. My mom ordered a seafood pork soup which she said was ok, and the chairbroiled pork rice dish was tasty. We did find a piece of hair on the rice which was a bit gross. It is a nice and clean ambiance. I deleted everyone for privacy reasons. Overall I don't think we will be back here.

    Pho 13. Tái Gầu - rare steak and fatty brisket

    My family has been coming here for years. While they have other items on the menu we specifically come for the Pho. It never disappoints. Broth is flavorful and soothing. They give lots of noodles and aren't shy about the meat. You can choose to have small or large and honestly the small is a big portion. I also love that you can basically pick and choose what cuts of meat you want since the menu options are huge. Service is extremely quick! Less than 5 minutes after ordering we had the bowls in front of us. The restaurant itself is also very large so plenty of space to sit. It's hard to miss it in the plaza it's in and parking can be crowded. But the restaurant is located in the far corner.

    I used to order this for lunch quite often when I worked out here 10 years ago. I was in the area and stopped by to see if the quality and quantity is still the same. It is. I'm convinced this is their best dish. Normally I don't eat a lot of fried food, but their eggrolls are so good here and so heavy that you have to eat them on a pile of noodles with carrots, bean sprouts. cucumbers, peanuts, lettuce, and bathe them in sweet fish sauce. Bun Cha Gio. The eggrolls are piping hot and cut partway with scissors. The other ingredients are either room temperature or cold. You kind of break up the eggrolls and mix everything together like a bibimbap, pour the sauce over and mix again. So yummy! The egg rolls here are heavy, partly because of the dense filling of pork and mushroom but also the wrapper. The wrapper is rice paper instead of typical wheat egg roll wrapper-- so it's this dense crunch that you have to chew. The wheat wrapper used in Chinese restaurants and other Vietnamese restaurants is light and crispy but makes a tiny egg roll. The wrapper here bubbles when fried and isn't smooth, and it's also much larger. I prefer this one which is how they are in Vietnam. Even most of the places in Little Saigon in the OC use wheat egg rolls wrapper.

    Love going here. Pho 2 is my go to and egg fried roll. Service is good and fast. Prices are good and serving portions are a lot.

    Pho with flank, tripe, & meatballs
    Doreen T.

    We were seated right away on a recent Monday night. I ordered the pho with meatballs, tripe, and flank. While the broth was served nice and hot, it lacked flavor. The flank, unfortunately, had an excessive amount of fat. So much that I ended up setting aside a whole pile, with very little actual meat to eat. My husband went with the pho ap chao, but both the chicken and beef were chewy and tough. The quality of the ingredients is terrible here, and it made for a disappointing dinner. I'm surprised by all the high reviews. I'd recommend sticking with Saigon Dish in Lawndale instead.

    Food is always consistent! If you want pho on a weekend lunch and you want to come out fast, you come here. It's reliable and local so it's my go to pho place near me. You do not com here for service. It's Asians, food is consistent, service is good considering, but bare minimum usually but for the price and quality I think it's very fair and safe. Normally people don't expect amazing service in local mom and pop restaurants for under $20 a meal in California. If service is great, that's great, but I don't expect Michelin service here. Ambiance, again just good. It's clean, it's fast, food is always hot when it comes out. Overall, this location and this price, with this food quality I think it's 5 stars.

    Fried Chicken Special 66. Cơm Gà Rôti
    Ellie R.

    Easily my favorite Vietnamese chain, serving up huge portions for a very reasonable price! The staff was very eager to get our order in and came over 5 times before we asked for space, and after that we had a hard time flagging them down. The menu is super expansive and we had a hard time deciding, but everything is very authentic and delicious.

    Pho and beef plate Both were great We didn't wait long to get our food

    The broth in the pho was particularly good And the beef was seasoned and cooked extremely well Highly recommend their pho

    Took a chance coming here with no prior research. My friends were visiting from the east coast and…read morewanted Viet food and this was one of the few that was opened on a Sunday and early enough. I was able to grab a table immediately around 11am before the afternoon lunch rush set in. Thank goodness because it got busy really fast. The restaurant itself isn't very big so there aren't many tables. We got garlic fries to start with. Ordered it because other tables all ordered it, must be good. And yes they were very good. Perfectly crispy with a touch of garlic. I didn't love the lychee drink we got. We got the bun bo hue and it was surprisingly very very good. It's got all the staple pieces even the blood cubes. My friend got a shaken beef and she devoured the whole plate lol. Also got a pho and she enjoyed it too. The food is so so good here and I can see why they have a second location. Very authentic and just good affordable Vietnamese food that hits! We left the restaurant and we are standing around outside because one of my friends ordered a sandwich to go. 10 minutes passed and the waiter comes out and asks who dropped a $100. I knew immediately it was me while I was fumbling my around trying to pay the bill. They could've kept it, I'm so impressed with their honesty and integrity.
