The best chicken phở! The menu offers a variety of chicken dishes like phở, rice, udon noodles, and clear noodles. The chicken is always cooked nicely, and I highly recommend the chicken breast cut since it offers the most meat. Their fish sauce is one of the best and it comes with every order! * Chicken Noodle Soup with Chicken Breast: 9/10 - good portion, and the chicken was incredibly tender * Liver and Gizzard (Side Dish): 10/10 - so delicious I haven't been back since they relocated, but the workers are all the same from the previous location. Unfortunately, we had to wait about 30-45 minutes after being seated because my parents ordered the very popular leg cut. It's located in a small plaza that's usually empty, so parking should be easy. The interior is quite small, unfortunately, so you most likely will have to wait for a table if it's crowded. A big downside to the restaurant is that they don't give itemized receipts, and there are some items that aren't included on the menu. The additional plate of liver and gizzard was $9.99, and each cup of tea was $2, but the menu didn't include that at all. They basically just give you the ticket that the waitress took your order on, so you have no idea how much anything is unless you took a picture of the menu. Even so, our experience was pretty good! read more

Highly recommend Phở Sông Hải! The miến gà was delicious--flavorful broth, tender chicken, and fresh ingredients. Friendly service and great food. I'll definitely be back! read more

Phở Sông Hải's my mom's go-to spot for phở gà, and I suppose that's also the case for many, considering the large crowds of older Vietnamese people who often frequent this place. To me, this place was just okay, but I have to preface by saying I am not the biggest fan of phở gà in general. The interior is pretty small, and there aren't a lot of tables that can accommodate many occupants, so don't be surprised if you have to wait. FOOD: Phở Gà Tươi Đùi Gà (3/5) - Phở with chicken drumstick/leg. Note that it's more expensive than the other cuts of chicken. The broth tasted clean and was on the sweeter side. The chicken comes on a separate dish, and it was yummy when dipped in the chili ginger fish dipping sauce. Both the chicken and the soup were topped with white and green onions. Okay overall, but I would prefer a stronger flavor. Bánh Canh Gà Ức (3.75/5) - I preferred this dish to the phở gà because it was more flavorful with its fried shallots topping. I'm also biased because I favor the thick noodles of bánh canh. Cơm Gà Hải Nam Đùi (3/5) - My brother had this and said the rice wasn't as flavorful as he wished. The sauce carried the dish. SERVICE: Service won't blow you away, but the job gets done. It does, however, take a hot minute to receive your food sometimes, so I wouldn't suggest dining here if you're on a time crunch. TLDR// For phở gà lovers, I'm sure this small family-owned restaurant is a wonderful, authentic spot. To me, phở gà is just generally not my favorite (would recommend the bánh canh instead). Wouldn't be opposed to coming back. read more

It took me three tries to eat here. They were unexpectedly closed twice and today, it's opened. 10am and they already ran out of thighs. I came back at a later time and I finally was able to order the chicken thigh. It was good. I love their broth and their liver, heart, a gizzards were so good. Their signature dish is their ginger, garlic fish sauce. Wow, it's so good! I highly recommend you go to this restaurant early in the morning. It's more of breakfast or lunch place. I would go early to get all the chicken thighs and drumsticks before they run out. For Thinsulin fans, you can just order pho without the noodles. This would make it green light. I highly recommend this place. I gave this place a 5 stars for its food, not for its service or availability. read more

Pho Song Hai - Pho Ga Ut - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

I come here pretty often and support this place but today was pretty annoying. Arrived here at 12pm with my party and didn't get seated til 40 - 50 mins later and mind you they have a list where you put your name down outside by the door. What's the point of having your customers write down their name and party of number for the workers here to only skip you and call parties that came right after you? Shit makes ZERO sense to me. Sometimes it's also a hit or miss if they have thigh or not otherwise you're left with breast. I really do love coming here but it's getting to the point where it's not even worth waiting that long for chicken anymore when I could take my business elsewhere and be done with a meal. My party finally got seated as I'm typing this out. And still we have to wait 30 extra minutes for our order to come out. lmao what in the hell....... Moral of the story is, just order to go for the future that's including myself. I really love eating here but today was not it. Food is great I'm not going to knock that. Because no other spots make pho ga this good along with their nuoc mam/ginger dipping sauce that goes with it. Their dish here is goated but please be more organized with seated your customers. 2 stars for today because I don't understand what went down.. read more

Pho Song Hai - Fresh noodles w/ chicken thigh & mung bean/pennyworth drink - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Got there 5 min after ordering It was already halfway full - theres carpet on the floor which looked a bit dirty Our order got taken quickly but the food took forever to come out We didnt get our pho ga until 9:40 i dont know why it takes 35 min for them to assemble it The plate of chicken and veggies came out at 915 - we sat staring at each other for another 25 minutes before the pho came out which was basically noodles and broth The noodles didnt taste like they were made fresh so i dont know why it took them that long to put the noodles and broth in a bowl. The pho was ok - nothing really special? The chicken was chewy but really boney. Would i come here again? No i would rather go to pho dakao for faster and more efficient service read more

I like phở gà here. They have better chicken than other places. This is the place to go for anything chicken related.

I don't understand how this place is all hyped and deserves the long wait times, settling for whatever chicken pieces are left, and mediocre, I don't care for the customers attitude. I only came here because it was after a memorial mass nearby and our party of 8 came right before they opened at 9am. The service is typical nonchalance and you have to flag down your server if you are missing anything, like my drink after all the bowls were brought out. The actual setup with the ginger fish sauce is typical and the separation of chicken pieces from the actual noodles and broth is more unique because usually, they're combined. The actual flavor was nothing special IMO and waaaayyy too many noodles for the ratio of broth. I couldn't even finish half of it. The herbs were fresh and the fish sauce was flavorful. I cannot see myself waiting here for a table during prime time hours. Plenty of other dining spots. read more

Very good food and fresh chicken. Rice chicken is good also. The one thing I dont like I feel like everything is not very clean. I bring my baby towel to clean the table. Service is good. But almost the time I need to wait to get the line. read more

Poor service. Need to treat customers with dignity and respect. The food is need to meet the customer expectations

Food is good. But the way the serve food is terrible. You order chicken pho, they'll bring you a chicken dish like this then 20 minutes later bring out bowl of pho / vermicelli soup. Im not so sure what the purpose of serving this dish of chicken alone is without any sauce or anything to eat with. Are they expecting us to eat this alone and the pho separately? By the time the Pho comes out, the chicken is cold. Not only that chicken is always unavailable, regardless when you come. We once came at 9:30am, and there's no chicken thigh ready, if want thigh then have to wait another 20-30 minutes. read more

Pho Song Hai - Chicken to eat with chicken vermicelli soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Westminster, California

Every time i comes here, there's always different experiences. Let me make it clear. Pho, nothing special. My family liked to comes here so i have to come along. They either have no dark meat, or they said they are low on dark meat so they make us ordered white meat. or they would said they ran out of soup. I came today and ordered no meat on my pho. They don't let me do that. They said their kitchen has more meat than soup so they make me ordered pho with meat. I havetk fight with them in able to get my no meat pho. What the heck. This place is suck. Don't come here!!!!! read more

If you do go, go early because they are popular! The restaurant is small but has plenty of tables. Although they fill very fast! The servers mostly speak no English to very broken English. This restaurant specializes in chicken. Chicken and rice, chicken and noodles... chicken. Their cuts are chicken breast, leg or wings. Note that only one person at your table can order wings. The day we went there was a half hour wait for legs. So essentially one person could order wings and the others pretty much had to order breast pieces. The broth is very yummy. The chicken is flavorless so you need sauce. Their Hainan chicken sauce is pretty yummy. I did add chili. read more

Food is ok service is bad waiting time for a bowl of pho to get to you is 30min average.

Yes - when you can actually get a bowl of the pho in front of you, it's GOOD. The chicken is the free range, walking kind that tastes so so good. But the journey to getting some food in front of you is a bit challenging. If you try to order take out, you may need to call 4-5 times to get them to pick up the phone. If you manage to get a table after waiting an 45 minutes to an hour, you might have to share it with a family of strangers. The restaurant is a bit tight and always busy and full. If you manage to sit down and order, they'll tell you that all the have left is "wing" but then serve the people next to you the thigh that you've wanted. Also don't forget to bring cash. This is one of those places that sells out everyday, it feels like they dont care about the customer experience. They really do place their efforts in getting probably one of the best chicken phos in town. The only time i've had a decent experience here is going really early at opening. What's funny is that the service and experience has been consistent since they've opened! read more

Every single time that I'm here this place always running out of chicken. Especially between 11am to noontime. How in world you running a business and can't calculate how much chickens need it for the day. Service just as bad as the woman behind the cash register. read more

This place is so inconsistent with their chicken, the quality has gone down. For 2 orders of mien ga it was $36 and not worth for what was given. My parents had to throw away the chicken they had asked for. Basically $36 down the trash and not getting full off of. This place also only takes cash which is rlly annoying and I would not recommend coming here. My dad also got food poisoning once from this place as well so be careful! read more

We were recommended by a friend to explore Pho Song Hai restaurant. We traveled from West Los Angeles to explore Pho at this Pho Song Hai restaurant menu. Servers hardly speak English at all.

Sat down at 10 and had to wait 30 minutes for Pho Ga Dui (Chicken Thigh). Large bowl of Pho and an Ice Tea ended up being $19.90. Large bowl just means more noodles not more meat just fyi. Sauce is bomb and dish is solid but not for the wait and price in my opinion. read more

I recently came back to pho song hai with my parents. The food is still too good! I love the the pho ga, but lately I have been getting into the banh canh. The soup is flavorful and warming with the cold rainy weather. I love the udon-like noodles. They are chewy with a bite. My parents and I also believe this is one of the few restaurants that their flavor in the soup is still good and on point (even with the shut downs and to-go only orders). Tip: Come at opening because they sell out of the dui ga (dark meat) quick! read more

Chicken was probably 99 years old, cardboard hard, hit or miss. $50 for 2 person lunch. To think they would know how to select their chicken meat after all these years in business. There used to be line out the door waiting, No wonder the place is lot more quiet now. Regretfully, won't be coming back read more

Authentic cuisine!!! Definitely would recommend this place for everyone! It's small family joint but places like this is where you usually get quality! read more

They never have enough waiters/waitresses. And the wait for food after ordering is 30 minutes. Unacceptable management!

"I'm not sure what happened, but the broth here has become flat and lacks the herbal aroma that's expected in a proper bowl of pho."

Bad service-Long waiting for foods. Should have tell customers upfront how long expected to be waiting so they can order something else.

I came in around 11 am with a group of 4 and the place was pretty empty for lunchtime. Ordering was fast but the wait was unbearable. 45 minutes for just the chicken and an additional 25 for the soup and noodles. Waiter was also rude when I asked politely when the food will come out. I've came here several times and the quality does not feel the same. read more

Best pho ga in town hands down. The soup is so flavorful and good I don't have to add any of the extra sauces. They usually have a wait since they have limited hours but it goes by fast.

I used to frequent this place for my pho ga cravings and never understood the low yelp rating until my experience yesterday. When I came to pick up my to-go order, there was an elderly lady in her late 60s/early 70s sitting at the register. Since I haven't been here in a while, I was a bit surprised when the total for the order was much higher than expected so as I was paying, I asked if she could give me a breakdown of the price (the last time I was there last year the pho with chicken drumsticks was only $16 each and this time it's $19). The moment she heard my question, her smile quickly disappeared and she gave me the price breakdown in the form of a question as though I don't know how to do math. As she spoke, she also proceeded to toss my change on the counter instead of handing it back to me like I did when paying her, and without a thank you or closing greeting, she just looked on to the next customer. She likely is the owner or is related to one since she only sat at the register collecting money, so don't be surprised if you receive poor customer service here since it'll be hard for her to teach anyone proper manners and communication skills when she herself lacks both. read more

This place has a ridiculous wait time if you want pho ga dui (dark meat chicken). It's like they gotta go to the farm, choose a chicken, clean it, and just start cooking it when an order comes in or something. Every time somebody orders it, they will always say "It'll be at least 30mins if you want to wait. If not, we have regular pho ga (white meat chicken)". Like why?! Who has 30-40minutes to wait for a bowl of pho? It starts to feel like it's intentional. And the pho itself is just mediocre. With the abundance of pho places around, I would not come back here. read more
