Phoa number 1 - supreme!
Terr M.

Absolutely loved this pho! It's the perfect mix of delicious and healthy. The broth is rich in flavor yet clear and not oily. It's generously packed with lean, tender slices of beef, soft tendon, and flavorful beef balls. The rice noodles are cooked just right, accompanied by fresh veggies like bean sprouts, mint leaves, and lime on the side. The portion size is generous enough even for two to share. The crab meat rolls were a surprise hit! Super crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. Service is quick, and there's plenty of safe, free parking available.

Pho with all the meats!
Itzel C.

Went on a Friday night, the food portions were good. Seating is limited and snug. The service is "mom pop" shop vibes. It took a bit to order and get food, it seems really busy. Overall the food pho broth was my favorite. The spring rolls could have been rolled tighter but the taste of them with peanut sauce did not lack. :)

I love love LOVE this spot! Everything I have tried has always been so flavorful, in large quantity and the best bang for your buck! Some of my faves are the tofu bun bowl, vegetarian pho, fried rice, veggie egg rolls, Thai ice tea lemonade, mango sticky rice(duh) and my partner always orders the pho with beef meatballs and rare steak. The menu is huge and so diverse so it makes it easy for anyone to enjoy something. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating, which makes it so easy to walk in. The decor is really fun and groovy as well. There isn't any booth seating but there is a lot of chairs to fit everyone. It's a slight tight fit, but this place is worth it! Check this place out, you'll love it!

Phở - Sliced Rare Steak & Tendon
Rickey K.

Stopped by for a try of their pho. Ordered Pho Rare Steak + Tendon -- broth was decent, not amazing, portion of noodles were incredibly small, I counted 4 slices of steak and 3 bits of tendon, the entire bowl was 70% broth. The mint was old and withered, tho they stacked you with tons of bean sprouts, it's a clever move to make the $16.95 feel like a full bowl but I felt slightly swindled. Service was routine, place was packed assuming they have other dishes that fare better.

Part of the Menu (2025): Pho and Salads: Yum in Thai translates to "Salad" or Ceviche type dish that's meat or seafood.

Pho VT is a Thai restaurant that specializes in a Vietnamese and Thai food. Stopped by on a whim. We tried a little of both cuisines from the menu. Real talk here, their Thai food is good! I loved their Sukhothai Tom Yum Noodles Soup! The crab fried rice (a Thai staple) was solid and full of wok smoke. Very nice. Portions are HUGE! On the other hand, the Vietnamese fare was not great. Stick to the Thai food and you'll be a happy camper! Service is very polite and attentive. Ample parking can be found in front of the restaurant. Street parking may be difficult to find because the restaurant is in a trendy enough neighborhood of LA.

Everything went well. Great service. Nice and the pho was fantastic and reasonable !!! Definitely get some here when in area.

Bun with fried chicken
Mary T.

Located in yet another LA strip mall, the place still gives a good vibe inside. Half dozen plus tables which can easily seat 2-6 people. Parking fairly easy. Food flavorful, fast, and generous portions. The bun with fried chicken was great. Like a big salad with some noodles, marinated carrots and fresh basil and mint. The chicken was crisp and delicious. My friend got the mixed fried rice. Loaded with protein. The beef could be slightly more tender and cut into smaller pieces for the folks who can't navigate using chop sticks and their teeth to handle a bite size portion.

While out for an evening stroll, I stopped by this restaurant. I was absolutely starving, so I ordered the shrimp noodles. I was astonished by the portion sizes--they were so huge that I couldn't even finish my meal! It was incredibly delicious. I really like the location of this restaurant; it is a very cozy spot with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff here is very welcoming, and the place smells wonderful. The food is truly delicious--they really know how to cook seafood to perfection.

Yuzu Limeade ($7) and although I liked the drink because it had a strong yuzu and lime taste, I wouldn't recommend getting it with a yuzu flavored ramen because it takes away the yuzu flavor in the ramen.

Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind.

The freshness of the cucumber and herbs cutting through the rich sauce balanced it out. The pan fried pork buns however were rather forgettable. The meat was juicy but I was left wanting more flavour in both the meat and the buns. I also wish the bottoms were a bit crispier. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to try their breakfast menu and other items though. Because peeking at the other tables they offerings looked delicious.

Loved that it had some classic dishes and some fusion ones as well. Came on a Friday night and joined the waitlist but only had to wait about 10 minutes! There was complimentary bread and a side salad that came with the entrees, and the bread was warm and delicious... We ordered the two Allegro specials on the menu-- Uni pasta and Bolognese. For appetizers we went with the server's recommendation; chicken gizzard confit. Chicken gizzard confit was mind blowing. As someone who enjoys things like gizzard, these were cooked in a way I had never had before and it was delicious. The uni pasta was sooo rich, creamy, and flavorful. 10/10 I would recommend it. The bolognese was good too it was super complex compared to the ordinary bolognese and had eggplants as well. Overall, the ambience was great and experience was amazing.

Once step inside, the decoration, the vibe totally changed. It's a dark hue with humbling yet elegant setting with a bar table and I almost felt like a dining in the cave ambiance. The menu was not complicated and only focused on pasta, but there are so many choices to my liking! The squid ink, the mentai cream, the uni sauce, and the garlic butter sauce. We ended up settling with Creamy Crab Gratin, mentai cream pasta, the Pescatore Bianca (seafood spaghetti), and Tarako Spaghetti (Cod roe and squid garlic butter sauce). -Crab Gratin is really creamy and cheesy. I just didn't quite get why there are a few pieces of penne pasta inside. But overall tasted good! -All pasta comes with bread and salad. The salad is really fresh and serve mostly lettuce and cherry tomato, which is how I like it. The dressing is not the ranch creamy kind, more cloudy vinaigrette based, also to my liking. -Seafood spaghetti came with a variety of seafood, shrimp, squid ring, mussels, clams, etc. The portion is huge. -Mentai cream pasta: delicious! I think if I order uni pasta, it'll be the same cream base sauce but with uni and $6 bucks more. I'm happy with my choice. The whole dish is consistent, creamy with a slight kick from the mentai, slices of mushrooms and shredded seaweeds on the top. Delish! -Tarako Spaghetti: I took a small bite and appreciated the strong taste of garlic butter in the sauce. -All 3 pasta are served with the thin spaghetti like angel hair. Service is ok, we asked for water refill and the response was polite. Dirty dishes were taken away timely. If I had more time, I would definitely come back for a second visit. A place like this deserves to be in a more upscale block on the street. Btw, parking inside the plaza is not free even though it's just a strip mall. Expect about $8 bucks for dinner parking. It's gated entrance. If you get lucky, you can park on the street and pay the meter.

The squid was cooked well, but the dish felt a little greasier than expected. I was also disappointed by how little bacon and some of the other key ingredients were included--it took some searching just to find them The ambiance is very bright, almost reminiscent of Benihana, but with more standard table seating rather than the teppanyaki experience Overall, it's worth trying once if you're curious about the concept. That said, with most dishes priced at over $20, I think there are stronger options nearby in Little Tokyo For a similar price, you can get a much more flavorful bowl of ramen that's also more filling. Portions here aren't particularly large, so while it's a fun place to sample something different, it may not be the best value if you're looking for a satisfying dinner
