    #1 house special
    Will M.

    I happened to be out in La Crescenta after work one evening and was getting pretty hungry, so I decided to look for some pho (thank you, trusty Yelp). Ended up at this little spot and went with the #1 House Special Pho. The bowl was a good size, and the broth was clean and light without being oily. The noodles were cooked just right, and I liked that they included sliced white onions with the veggies. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality given the area (not too many food options around here). The pho was solid, and I'd definitely come back if I was in the area again.

    I loved their soup noodles so far. I mostly lean toward soups that aren't stuffed with too many ingredients, and this place checked that box. My husband also enjoyed the meal. I do have to say that Spring Rolls could be more savory but overall we had a good time eating at this place. Thai tea is just the right sweetness level. I want to add that the owners are welcoming and swift with their service. The place is clean, as is the bathroom.

    there is the house special, chicken fried rice and drinks.

    Love this local spot! The pho is amazing - I recommend the Chicken Pho and Thai Tea. The service is very nice and the seating options are neat and cute. :))

    Summer rolls, has julienned apple; I liked it, wife didn't.  Make sure you ask for extra peanut sauce.

    Called in the order for take-out for me and the better half. TLDR: it's the better local pho spot, a solid 4.5 stars, that I rounded up to 5 due to the great service from the owner. This place is where Nanuri Snack used to be. Pho was legit, my wife and I agree it's our favorite of any of the local spots in CV, Montrose, LC. The broth was really good! Flavorful and not overly greasy. We were pleasantly surprised! The meat (brisket and rare steak) were a bit on the smaller side, but complimented everything well in the grand scheme of things. Did I mention that the broth was really good? Because the broth is really good! Anyhoots, we also got the following sides: - 10 pc dumplings: my son gobbled it up, said it was delicious; I wouldn't know, he didn't share. - egg rolls: decent, get it if you like egg rolls, easy pass for us. - Summer rolls: they add some apple pieces in there which I enjoyed (wife wasn't a fan). Make sure to ask for extra peanut sauce because one container wasn't enough. Happy that my wife and I found our go-to local pho spot and don't have to drive down to Chinatown anymore.

    Plain pho with rare steak!

    Just a great old time with amazingly delicious Vietnamese food…read more Vibe is relaxed, family style. No booths but plenty of long tables to accommodate big groups. Wait list at the door but they always meet you at the door to help you to a table. O.G. servers who have been here for years. Recommendation: Shaken beef with tomato rice. The spring rolls are refreshing. Plenty of options to cater to your style. Vermicelli noodles/Pho/and rice dishes. Love the lychee lemonade.

    K5 Pho & Rolls is one of those reliable neighborhood spots I keep coming back to. It's probably not…read moresomewhere I would drive a long distance specifically to visit, but whenever I eat here, the food is consistently satisfying and I never regret coming. My usual order is the seafood pho with egg noodles. The broth tastes clean and flavorful, and the dish is always comforting. I've also brought friends here for the combination pho, and they've always enjoyed it. The pho may not be the most traditional or authentic style, but honestly, I prefer this version for my personal taste. My only complaints are that they don't accept Amex, which is disappointing since that's currently my primary card, and the service can sometimes be a little slow. The restaurant is usually busy, though, and it has never been slow enough to become a major inconvenience. Overall, it's a consistently good local spot that I'm always happy to revisit.

    Stopped by craving pho and happened to find this place on Google Maps. Tried the pork spring roll…read morewhich was refreshing and included a decent amount of meat, vege, and vermicelli. Beef pho hit the spot, perfect temp broth to wilt the herbs and sprouts, savory flavor, and tasty meats. The taco was a surprising hit, beef was the same from the pho topped with pickled onions. Must have with a spritz of lime and sriracha. Service was great, server was helpful, and friendly. Talked about the specials and took care of the rest. The restaurant has a charming fresh feel, nice decor and ample seating for groups. It was a little warm this summer afternoon but in all honesty it kinda added to the ambiance and reminded me a little of eating in Hanoi. All-in-all happy with my dining experience and will gladly add Lotus & Light in my pho round up.

    I have ordered here multiple times and i keep getting screwed over on takeout orders. I dont know…read moreif the cook just sucks or its management's orders but when you order a banh mi, it comes with jalapenos. I even verified with the girl on the phone when placing the order i wanted jalapenos. The banh mi has no jalapenos, half the sandwich is daikon and carrots with a cucumber and the thinnest layer of overcooked beef on top. I ordered last month 2 banh mi and egg rolls. Banh mi had no jalapenos either, the egg rolls were missing lettuce wraps and the sauce was half the to go container. I've eaten here in person and received lettuce when eating in the restaurant, their yelp photos show lettuce wraps with the egg rolls. But every time i ordered egg rolls for takeout it is missing lettuce wraps. The one time i ordered and got the lettuce wraps with egg rolls, i had to explicitly tell them to add it that time. I thought this placed served the food as it should be in their culture? I've held back leaving a bad review of this place because i thought they would somehow improve or it was a one off mistake but this was the final straw. Consistently screwing up or intentionally holding back ingredients on takeout orders crazy. How much are you actually saving by with holding lettuce, sauce, and jalapenos??? This place used to be good, now it's just another above average spot. If you want banh mi, go somewhere else and be less disappointed.
