Recently went back to where it all started for me, Pho So 1. I was introduced to the Van Nuys location almost 20 years ago. It has not changed, delicious as always. This time I got the Bahn Cahn noodle soup with shrimp. Good portion of thick rice noodles, lots of shrimp and a nice hearty tasty pork broth. there were so much shrimp, I was not able to eat all of them. And of course, you cannot forget the fried egg rolls. Love it that they give you all the fresh herbs, fresh veggies and pickled carrots and radish. Nowadays in Vietnamese restaurant's, you are very lucky if you get a small piece of lettuce for the egg rolls. I've been to all the LA county locations and they have been consistent and delicious. read more

Dear Pho So 1, I've visited your restaurant many times and have been satisfied with my experience about 90% of the time. Unfortunately, during this recent takeout order, I found a hair in my sweet sauce, which was very disappointing and completely ruined my appetite. I still ate my vermicelli dish and found it quite delicious, though I had to use soy sauce instead. I appreciate your consistently quick service and the great flavor of your pho, which is why I'm giving three stars. However, this experience with contamination was disappointing and not up to your usual standards. read more

Love how there is a Pho So 1 one in West Hills. My family and I used to go to the one in Reseda all the time. Pho always comes out hot and delicious. I've switched over from the og pho tai to the pho dac biet (number 1) and it hits me to the core whenever I need a homey soup recovering from anything. Price has definitely gone up but seems like the portion size is somewhat bigger. Service is always fast. Ambiance is casual. read more

Excellent pho - rare steak and tendon, broth is succinct and good. Ordered extra noodles and refill was fast and apt. Ordered their strawberry smoothie, it was tarty and refreshing. Service is prompt and excellent. Glad to have stopped in! read more

This place used to be great, but the last two times I visited, the pho broth had no flavor and was incredibly bland. At first, I thought they were just having an off day, but after experiencing flavorless broth again, it's clear that they aren't making good food any more and it's not worth going back. read more

This is my go-to place for Vietnamese food. I usually get the #1 or the Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Pork and shrimp. I also always get an order of egg rolls. The egg rolls are very flavorful and crispy and come with lots of veggies and dipping sauce. They dont look like your typical egg rolls but do not skip this item. I recommend them over the spring rolls which are also very good. The portions are substantial. The menu at the other Pho So 1 locations vary slightly. The servers are nice and attentive. The restaurant has plenty of seating as well. If you haven't tried this place you need to stop by as soon as possible. Especially if you're trying to cure a hangover!!! read more

My friend was craving pho so we came by here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. Pho So 1 is located in a plaza with lots of parking space. There is plenty of indoor seating and though it was a weekday at lunch, this place still had a half dozen or so tables filled. Only indoor seating is available and the food came super quick after ordering. For the pricing related to the portions of pho offered, I think this place is definitely competitive. Chín Pho 5/5, I had this and it was HUGE. I normally cannot finish a full bowl of pho and this was no exception. It came delightfully hot and steamy, the noodles were soft and most importantly the pho broth was delicious Chín Ñam Pho 4/5, my friend had this and she liked it and rated it as such Taro tea 4/5, I don't know if this was meant to be more of a tea or smoothie but it was cold and had parts of it freeze up and had to be broken down with my straw. The taro is strong and sweet which I enjoyed. Thai Tea 3/5, my friend had this with boba. She felt it was just average. read more

Pho so 1 is an amazing place. The staff are really kind. It is a clean place. The food there is very tasty and clean we like number 17 on the menu the most. read more

I like the new menu. In it, prices were categorized by type of meal. One gnawing question, though: does this new menu make it simple for customers to easily calculate the total or to make it easy for them to amend the price on the menu in a short notice? Either way, the menu is great in Ed's opinion. The quality of Yangzhou fried rice I ordered today went down below par! No doubt the rice was fried on laced with flavor with intense fire on a wok but the ingredients put into it were a bit too stingy (again, this was based on today's order) -- Chinese sausages were too small to be seen and were chopped too thin to even felt it on my tongue! Alas, after deep dive digging the pile of "rice" on the plate, I discovered two small shrimps besides the sausages! No other meat was discovered after that. That was a different approach Pho So 1 use to combat the inflation (less on meat!) I hope, the management will readjust and correct this so that the fried rice will be more tasteful & enjoyable. The service was fast as usual. Lighting was on par. The restroom was okay standard for an Asian restaurants; floor was always wet & no paper towel. Waiters/waitress were pretty polite. Enjoy skimpy meat dishes... read more

I've always ordered for pick-up! They are fast and the food is delicious. Definitely my go-to when I'm feeling under the weather is the chicken pho. Love it. Great customer service read more

Pho is so delicious here! When you eat in they give you a big bowl (I personally could never finish) with topping on the side. Basil, soy bean sprouts, sliced peppers and lemon. Try it yourself it's so good. I've done takeout and I feel it's a bit less than dining in but that may just be my opinion. read more

First time trying this place out. Food was meh... I ordered the Vermicelli with pork and egg roll and this is what I got. I usually order this dish from Pho Saigon in Chatsworth. Surprised to see the small amount of pork in this dish at this place. Place was clean and busy at lunch. Service was good. read more

This place is usually my go to spot for delicious rare steak Pho soup but after today I am forced to reconsider returning. My 7 yr old son and I stopped by for dinner and to my surprise I found what appeared to be a piece of plastic gasket in my soup. Shocked and grossed out I brought this to the attention of staff and they brought another soup out. As you can imagine I didn't feel comfortable having my son or myself eat here after that so we had to pass on our meal. I was especially taken back when the manager said I would be liable to pay for just one of the two soups I ordered even though we had just gotten there and hadn't eaten anything. Ultimately didn't pay for anything after reiterating that there was plastic in my soup. Not cool and definitely disappointed over this experience. read more

This wasn't pho, it was beef bouillon water. No depth of flavor and meat was awful. The only saving grace was the fresh veggies on my sister's plate. Incredibly strong odor of cleaning supplies (fabuloso) when we walked in. Much better and more authentic pho available all over the valley, literally. read more

Compared to the other locations this one is a miss. I would skip coming to this location as their portion sizes are less with their rice dishes and the broth for pho is a bit bland. Service was typical but never came around after dropping off the food so our waters never got refilled and I had to get up and grab chili sauce from another table since ours didn't have any. read more

I like coming here for the Rare Steak and Tendon Pho. Great customer service. They have several TV's. They recently changed the size of the Pho bowl, which is an A+ (larger). Same tasting Pho. Same recipe of Pho from Pho So 1 location on Sherman Way / Reseda. read more

Delicious place, number 9 Is my favorite from the menu along with fried tofu . I always order to go and they're quickly to prep and have ready for pick up read more

I have frequented this place for years. The servers let you choose where to sit and take your order without needing to jot it down. Furthermore, they even recommended I get pho oil on the side, which is rendered from the bones/meat they use for the broth! It made the pho so much richer! I also started getting the meat on the side as the hot broth cooks it soft whenever you place it in for 10 seconds. I will be coming again for many more years to come! read more

I love pho this is the best in the valley or area very blessed to have this location here ! Good food and options :)

Nice spot. Was looking for a quick lunch on errand time around Los Angeles County and picked here because of its proximity to the 101. The menu selections are vast. I got the large veggie pho with tofu (they offer it soft or deep fried) and beef broth (they give you a choice). Also got the veggie egg-rolls. Nice wrappers. Not greasy. Good prices. Recommend / will return. read more

Craving for the thick noodles with grilled shrimps & charbroilled pork (soup on the side) AGAIN! I always like to use lots of lime, basil & beansprout. No pickled veggies. Then add sriracha & oyster sauce.. pour in a bit of the soup! Then enjoy So, I took my mom there. Ordered her, the pho rice noodles with steak & meatballs. We both were satisfied & stuffed! I've never been disappointed with this place! I don't know why some people complained about them? read more

Always love the Pho So 1 locations. I tried this location for the first time last week and they serve in different bowls! I stopped by during a busy weekday lunch hour and was seated once I stepped inside. Service was insanely quick as I got my bowl of pho within 1 min of ordering. Pho was perfect, broth was delicious, and I can't wait to go back already! Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

Very disappointing experience. We were refused service because we had our service dog with us, and the staff member just repeated that 'dogs' are not allowed, even after we explained it was a service animal. For obvious reasons I can't speak to the quality of the food, though the place itself looked nice and I'd be curious to come back. read more

My favorite restaurant next to my home! My go to when dinner is just a bit to hard to prepare. Everyone that works there is so nice and service is quick. My favorite beef pho in the valley! It's also a great family sit down restaurant. No fuss and clean. Wish I can eat here everyday. I like number 45 with beef, spring rolls, egg rolls and even their game hen! So good! Great quality with great prices! read more

vermicelli noodles with egg roll, pork and grilled shrimp. The fish sauce was very bland. No matter how much fish sauce I used the noodles were still lacking flavor. The shrimp was cooked well though and the flavor was good. Hu tieu was okay. Pretty bland but also comforting. There weren't many shrimps in this dish. There's lot of parking and plenty of seats. read more
