    Pho 1. Đậc Biệt Xe Lữa (Tô Lớn)
    Kay L.

    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.

    No frills pho place that has good portions and solid taste! No line during sunday lunch time :) customer service could be a bit better in checking in on us halfway through our meal.

    Came in and ordered the #1 pho and egg rolls, and my wife got the chicken pho (not sure the number), and everything was sooo good. The pho had a rich, flavorful broth with tender meat and fresh herbs--super comforting and hit the spot. My wife loved her chicken pho too--light, clean, and really satisfying. The egg rolls were perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavor inside, especially dipped in the sauce. Service was friendly and the vibe was relaxed, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy a warm meal. Definitely coming back for this combo again!

    Pho, egg rolls, spring rolls. Look at the crispiest

    Whenever I'm in the South Bay I'm in awe of the variety of Asian flavors I have access to. Pho So 1 is my to go to for Vietnamese food. I love the rare steak pho but the vermicelli bowl is a must. Beef or pork you won't go wrong. Bomb!

    Pho So 1 is a "hall of famer" for a reason. It's affordable, lightning-fast, and hits the spot every single time you're craving a hot bowl of comfort. ​My Order: Go for the #1 (Dac Biet) if you want the full experience

    Pho tai

    It taste really good you can taste the flavors. I reccomend this place ,friendly service and authentic Vietnamese pho

    The food was so good and the pho was delicious. The spring rolls are always fresh and the egg rolls and the sauce are so good!!!

    The egg rolls are my favorite, they are always cooked so well and the soup is so flavorful. The broth is amazing. 10/10 would highly recommend!

    Oh my god. Hail Mary. This is my go-to spot for Pho. Honestly I would get married here on a rainy day. This place is PHENOMENAL. give them the miss universe crown. I get their egg rolls, Thai tea, and pho with only brisket and steak. The egg rolls, fried with love and are so addictive. I have had egg rolls from other pho places but they just can't make it like here! I'm salivating just thinking about them. They're cute-sized and come in 5 pieces with a side of romaine lettuce and pickled carrots i believe. idk but the carrots are sweet. The pho has such a flavorful broth. It is the right amount of savory, salty, brothy goodness for ur tummy. Now I add a ton of chili sauce and hoison sauce because I'm crazy, and don't forget the extra jalapeños!!! Thai tea, I need an IV infusion of it. 10/10. Not too sweet, not overwhelming. It is the perfect balance for my spicy pho bowls. Service is faster than you can finish saying Sacagawea, and that's not even a long word. They immediately come up to you once you're seated, and I kid you not, the pho is already rolling out like 2 minutes later after telling them which one you would like. Parking is in the plaza, which can be very hectic and honestly gets quite full pretty fast. I love this spot, I am excited to come here with my mocos running on a rainy day this season!!

    We ordered #14 (rare and well-done steak) and #17 (rare steak and tripe). The steak was tender and flavorful. The broth was rich in flavor, and the noodles were chewy and perfectly cooked. Great service; they blanched the bean sprouts perfectly on request, and our orders came quick. The atmosphere is very friendly and casual. Highly recommend!

    Pho #4 or #5- it's the same

    I enjoy coming to this vietnamese restaurant because it is quick efficient. The food taste well. The service is good. They well staffed a lot of times when I come it's not too packed, but even when there is a lot of people, they have enough workers and servers to make sure that we get our food in our timely manner. They are very organized and prepared to serve you each time that I come. I already know what I want so I'm not confused about the menu or what they offer I always get number one, which is a variety for that includes steak, rare steak, tripe, and tender. We also ordered the eggrolls at this visit as they are fresh and tasty the sauce. I also appreciate that their vegetables are always fresh and plentiful. This is more of a casual restaurant so don't think fancy think affordable efficient and satisfying. I can't read about this place enough.

    Probably one of the tastiest phos I have had, maybe ever. The food is very high quality and I…read morealways find myself calling them to place an order for pickup. The wait staff is very kind and helpful. As well as the decor inside is very cute and get you excited for the food. Definitely recommend.

    My father in law insisted we come here because he said it was really good. He also failed to…read moremention that this was years ago. As soon as we entered we saw a sign saying you had to pay before being seated. Red flag!! Paying before you even had a taste of the food rang alarms in my head. Asking for a tip before service has even been rendered is the most ridiculous thing ever. Alot of places do this and it needs to be changed. Tip after services have been rendered. The workers here at least the 4 that I saw were all extremely young. They looked like they all belong in high school. They were very slow in anything they did. During my whole time here I the resturant the phone kept going off and they ignored it quite a few times. The inside of the resturant nice and clean, no complaints from me. My wife used their bathroom but the door did not lock so I had to stand outside which is annoying and not suitable for any ladies wanting to use the restroom. The food took quite a long time to come out. We sat down for awhile before the appetizers came out. 2 of us got the pho lunch special and it comes with a fried veggie eggroll. It took 15 minutes just to get 2 veggie spring rolls which were fresh and hot. When taking a bite out of them the inside was just mushy veggies and tasted like they were soaked in soy sauce. Then the spring rolls came out and they looked ok. After tasting they were decent. My only complaint about them is there wasn't enough peanut sauce, just a little dish not enough for all of our rolls. My wife ordered the combination fried rice. It came and it looked nice and hot. Upon tasting it for myself it tasted extremely salty. The proteins in it (Chinese sausage,shrimp,chicken) were almost inedible with the exception of the Chinese sausage. The shrimp was extremely over cooked and the chicken was cut thin and wide, like jerky and was just as dry as jerky. My FIL and I ordered the combination pho. The pho was extremely lackluster and was missing some components commonly in combo pho (pho dac biet) it was missing tendon,flank and meatballs (sometimes not always in pho dac biet) The meat to noodle ratio is extremely terrible, had at least 8 bites of noodles left and no more meat. The broth was so bland no flavor at all except for the over abundance of sweetness from the sugar. Being part vietnamese myself I love alot of pho whether its super delicious or just ok. This pho is not even in the "just ok" realm its terrible, its a disgrace to pho everywhere. Even if you are the type to put Hoison/Sriracha in the broth it will not save it. FIL says this place uses to be good but I guess things have changed since his last visit all those years ago. You could pick almost any other pho restaurant and I am 99.99% sure it would be better than here. If you value your time,money, and taste buds please stay clear of this place by any means necessary.
