    Delicious khao soiiiiii! This is not a popular Thai spot but still tasty. I enjoy every I ordered from the menu

    Purple Rice
    Jenny P.

    Parking is street only. There are tables in front (covered-shaded) if you choose or inside the restaurant. We went for lunch and it was quite busy but it's easy to get a table. Love the ladies in the restaurant they are fast and service was awesome. Lunch specials came with free drinks, the free drinks do not include their specialty drinks. My husband got the Beef Penang with Purple Rice and I got the Soft Crab noodles. I didn't get to try my husband's Penang cuz my crab noodles were so good that i ate the entire thing. I needed to try The Rose Mint Mojito-Mocktail- it was served in a hug class ended up taking the rest home- very Rosy flavor . Love the restaurant. I will definitely come back!

    Hair in Pho

    Will never eat here again! Found hair in my pho!!!! I called to let them know and have my order refunded and they refused to refund my order. They also gave me a fake managers name and hung up the phone on me. Rude and completely unprofessional. This is no way you treat someone who spent nearly $200 on an order with hair in it!!!

    Perfect place for dine-in or for takeout! Every experience I've had here has been amazing. They have crisp spa water, delicious appetizers, yuuuuuum drinks (I love the bloody lychee), and perfect pad thai & pad see ew! Would highly recommend and can't wait to come back!!!!!!

    Roti Appetizer: 5/5 recommend! It was fried which made the outside flaky but the inside was pillowy & pulled apart so beautifully.
    Jen S.

    This place is fantastic! The atmosphere feels warm with individual table lighting and a small pot of picked roses. There is light non-lyrical music playing in the background (I say this because many places use Thai or American songs that can be sung along to), an old school chandelier, and at the time I came there were still some nice Christmas decorations in the patio area. The two ladies working, Noi and Nada, were so attentive and sweet. They made sure I had everything I needed and even offered to re-up my tea pot with hot water. I ordered: 1. 4/5 Oriental Beauty Bouquet Hot Tea (chrysanthemum & jasmine) which bloomed in the clear tea pot in front of me. I asked for a side of honey to make it just right for my taste. 2. 4/5 The fresh roll with grilled chicken which comes with a thin peanut sauce. Next time I will order it with extra mint for my liking. 3. 5/5 A small bowl of the Tofu Soup which was so much more flavorful than I expected. It is a clear broth, which can sometimes be lacking in flavor, but this was so delectable that I picked up my hotel to finish the broth! 4. 5/5 The roti appetizer was soooo good. I have had it at other places before but here is by far my favorite. If you are looking for simmering light and healthy, don't pick this. The roti was fried which made the outside incredibly crispy and flaky but yet the inside was pillowy and pulled apart so beautifully. The curry was also so delicious that I asked for extra. Another table saw that I ordered it so they ordered it too. Be careful though because it is HOT when it comes to the table. I recommend opening it up (it comes folded) to let out the heat.

    Egg fried rice spicy!

    Sooooooo good! We sat in a cozy booth inside and we were greeted by the sweetest staff. We loved everything we ate especially the salmon roll appetizers. And I appreciate the tall glass of ice tea. Go here, then visit the design place down the street for a zen experience and then cross the street to the coolest bookstore ever for a great day in NoHo!

    Drunken Noodles and Coke, delicious

    First time ordering here, delivery. I ordered Drunken Noodles and a soda. They didn't have my initial drink but called me and were so kind and I easily picked a new one. My food came hot and soda ice cold. Looking forward to trying more items from the menu.

    Pad See Ew with beef
    Stephanie T.

    Rustic spoon is okay. The papaya salad portions are very generous and it was delish. I didn't like the pad see ew too much because they seasoned it with a lot of black pepper on top. I had to get chili oil to redeem the dish. They didn't have traditional Chinese broccoli as well. My husband got the pad thai and it was too sweet. Service was good but that's all. The restaurant was busy so perhaps there are other good dishes.

    Pad Thai was a solid option.
    Terrance S.

    Like the location and the setting. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Dumplings, salad roll's, and other options were great. Would definitely visit again.

    This place is quickly becoming my go-to casual mid week dinner spot. Even though its kind of a hole in the wall type joint - nothing special ambience-wise basically a small and easily overlooked restaurant, I am loving the food and quick service. Haven't gone wrong yet ordering various dishes off the menu over the past few weeks. I will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend to check it out for a quick date or bite if you feel Asian fusion food!

    I have been craving Thai Food for the past 2 days now. I've been to this charming, cozy, pretty…read morerestaurant too many times over the years, but not for the last 3 years. According to other reviews that I have read earlier today, the restaurant is under new management/ownership. Walked in today around 4:45pm and got a very nice, warm welcome from Alex - the owner himself. He told me to have a seat anywhere that I wanted, so I did. Alex himself took my order and the food came out pretty quickly and fast. I was very hungry so I got 2 main entrées and their regular small salad with peanut dressing. Ordered their Pad See Ew with beef & shrimp that also came with well cooked broccoli. I also got their crab fried rice and stayed with my water. Both entrees were cooked really well and were hot & tasty. My only complaint was that the beef was a bit overcooked and hard to chew. A lot of to-go orders and delivery/pick up by 3rd parties. Place was SPOTLESS CLEAN, including their gender neutral restroom. They also had nice decor all around. I really enjoyed my lunch and the portions being HUGE, took the rest home for my son to eat. Parking shared with 100 businesses:-) Thank you Alex & Noodle Monster!

    This place is so cute! Definitely one of the hidden gems in a Valley strip mall. It's a total vibe…read more Art all over the walls, oldies bumping. Loved the atmosphere. Their Thai iced coffee is SO GOOD. It's pretty sweet, but had lots of strong coffee to offset the sweetness a bit. The gyoza and the shrimp rolls were amazing! Also loved the sauces they were served with. For my main I got the Pad woon sen and I felt like it lacked flavor. The chicken was also pretty dry and there wasn't much of it on the plate. Their menu is so big I would definitely come back and give it another try! Food was ready super fast. Great for take out or dine in!

We ordered two chicken phos, one fried spring roll, and one fresh spring roll. I love that you can order the rolls individually--sometimes I'm in the mood for fresh while my partner prefers fried, so it's nice not having to compromise You order at the front and they bring the food to your table, so don't come in expecting five-star dining at $$ prices. Service was still great! The ambiance is very casual, clean, and comfortable. Will definitely be back!

    So while Pho NOHO used to be really good, it's seems like it how now gone down hill…read more My issues with this place are with the service. I wanted broth only. Nothing else. Since they don't have a cashier anymore, the screen had no choice for this. Vui Ve, the new pho place in the Noho arts district has this option available for $6. I finally asked someone working there and his pointed me the Plain ( S ) which was $11.95. Come to find out, this isn't broth only but has noodles, onions and other things. I was on a clear liquids diet and this wasn't what I wanted. I sent it back three time to have them get it right. Also, the sneak in a service charge on their order screens with no explination. What is this for? Why can't you include this in your pricing instead. The broth was fine, but I was a bit annoyed. The restaurant is still the same in decor, or lack thereof. Now that there is a choice in the North Hollywood Arts District, I think I'll be choosing Vui Ve for better pricing and having human cashiers that take your orders.

I said I had initially intended to take the noodles home to eat, but I've been having a long day and I just wanted to have my dinner right now, but I would gladly take my food to go. Extremely unprofessional and I'm sure that the other party didn't leave a review because the food was cold but more so bland and tasteless like this stuff there.

    I haven't even finished my meal and I had to come and tell you all how good it is…read more This is my 3rd time to this restaurant and next time I think I'll eat there for the experience. Usually I have a Bahn Mi but today I was craving Pho. My go to Pho spot is a little bit of a drive and I was looking for something in walking distance. No regrets. Today I had the Oxtail Pho + Vietnamese Coffee which ended up being about $28 and worth every penny. Let me tell you I am just so grateful for how delicious is but almost sad i've almost eaten it all. Let's begin with the location. Parking is tight but one thing about Lankershim/Magnolia is the side streets is your friend. Don't stress about parking bc you will find it. Inside the restaurant is very very cute, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Today they had Michal Jackson playing. Big fan! Big fan! The portion size is just right for me. It had enough to fill me up for one sitting and a little left over when my tummy settles and i'm ready for more. The broth is soooo yummy, I can't even explain it. Idk whose grandmother passed that recipe down but I love her. Now let's get into the actual Oxtail. wow, it was actually the biggest oxtail piece I think I have ever had in my life and it was so good. I am going to attach a photo bc this isn't regular Pho baby this herrrrr! (excuse the chunks I bit out, I realized it was so good I needed to tell yall ) They must love me and knew I needed this comfort meal bc there was a few pieces in there. Thank youuuuu Anywho, whether you're by yourself, on a date, with family or friends I definitely suggest checking them out. And you better be nice too bc I think it's family owned, they're lovely. Enjoy!

    Ate here for the first time tonight. I live less than 10 mins away but honestly if I had realized…read moreit was where it is before I left the house I would have picked somewhere else. The parking in this area of NoHo is terrible and I avoid it like the plague. That being said - was the food worth the 10-12 minutes of driving around looking for a spot and the 4.5 block walk (which I didn't mind at all)? Mmmmm not really. The food was very good but not special. It is not a full service restaurant - you order at a counter and the water is self-serve. You get a number and they bring the food to your table. The dine-in area is pretty rudimentary with wooden tables and benches. Lots of space and a decent amount of seating. But we were there around 8:15p on a Wed and they close at 9pm. They make no qualms about putting up the chairs around you and prepping to close, which makes one feel a bit unwelcome. I've worked in several restaurants and this is usually frowned upon. IMO, customers should come first and be treated with respect for spending their hard earned money in your establishment. Not like: we got your money now please leave. I'd go back if I were conveniently in the hood already but not sure I'd go out of my way to hurry back, otherwise.
