No "watered down" vibes here. Bun Bo Hue: For those who like a kick, this was perfect. Great spice level and very authentic. Nem Cuon: Super fresh spring rolls. The pork sausage had a great snap and the dipping sauce was delicious. Drinks: The Thai Tea was perfectly creamy (not too sweet!), and the Strawberry Smoothie was clearly made with real fruit--so refreshing. Great service and a clean atmosphere. This is our new go-to spot!

You do have the choice of beef broth. It came out quickly! It was a pretty standard bowl for $14. Portion size was in the middle too. Nothing stood out in particular except that the tofu seemed to have a sour taste so I was a bit turned off by that. If I were to come back, I'd try something different but there's probably only one other dish I'd try

The overall mood is so chill, making it the perfect comfort spot to unwind, relax, and just enjoy a fantastic meal. The pho here is top-tier with a rich, deeply flavorful broth and fresh ingredients, but honestly, the staff is what makes it really special. At this point, it feels less like a standard restaurant transaction and more like visiting close friends; the waiter lady is always so warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, even during rush hour and she is the only person working. Me and my husband specifically enjoyed the Thai Tea, which rivaled other drink places, which had a deal to buy 1 and get 1 free! Do yourself a favor and check them out if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, they didn't make it. After we came back off of lockdown, I remember driving around a two mile radius near the Cerritos Mall trying different places. They were open, but none of them served oxtail pho which is my preference for the nutrient density. Then I found Pho Pioneer, and I couldn't have been more impressed from day one. I'm a pretty low key, chill person. I prefer speakeasy vibes, quiet spaces, and traditional spots and this place checks every box. The service is great. The woman who runs the restaurant has always been incredibly sweet and welcoming. It makes a difference when you feel genuinely appreciated as a customer. I also love the art and photos on the walls, and the fish tank is a whole experience on its own. There's nothing quite like eight creepily beautiful fish judging you while you're sipping pho and recovering from a cold. Pho Pioneer has become one of my go to spots, and I'm grateful I found it.

I ordered the rotisserie chicken along with the Bo Ne (the sizzling skillet with eggs and filet mignon), and wow... that combination was ridiculously good. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfect for dipping into their amazing sauces. And speaking of essentials, whenever they ask how many baguettes I want, the answer is always two. One is simply not enough. The bread paired with their spicy chili oil sauce is next-level delicious. Their Thai tea is consistently amazing too. I've had it at both locations, and it's always rich, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. What really makes Garlic & Chives stand out, though, is the service. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seems to care that you have a great experience. Great food, great drinks, and top-tier hospitality..I'll definitely keep coming back.

We had a couple things : the corn cheese plate which came hot and melty. It was really savory tasting and was not just one note the way others tend to be. If you like corn and cheese it's hard to say no to. We had also a salmon spring roll which was DELICIOUS along with the salmon belly. The sauce was sweet and complimented the roll well. We ordered the toothpick lamb dish as well which was so good. No funk and no musk which I'm very sensitive to. I tend to avoid lamb all together but actually really liked this. I also had the Bo loc lac and it was tender and seasoned well. Everything tasted great!!

We were craving some warm pho on a cold night, and Soup Shop sounded like the perfect spot. The plaza Soup Shop is located in is usually super crowded, but if you go after 9pm when most of the other restaurants and shops are closed, you'll find plenty of parking. Write your name down on the waiting list at the front podium and then wait for your name to be called. They have a few seats to wait right outside the door. Once we were seated, we were given menus. I really like that their menu has a lot of large photos of the dishes, so you know what you're getting! Once we ordered, the food came out pretty quickly despite being busy. For appetizers, we ordered the Crunchy Pork "Bao" since it sounded unique. Inside the bao is pork shoulder, mushroom, Vietnamese sausage, and quail egg. The outside has a thin, perfectly crispy layer that gives a nice little crunch when you bite into it. Really enjoyed these and would recommend! We also got the Crusted Parmesan Cauliflower. Not sure what's in the sauce, but it's sweet, tangy, and delicious! It's also topped with fried onion, cilantro, cucumber, and parmesan cheese. Also a winner! For entrees, we got the Chicken Pho and the Pho Ribeye. For the chicken Pho, you can get it with thigh or breast meat. I got it with breast meat, and they gave a good amount of meat! A little dry, but I appreciated that it was nice and lean. The flavor of the soup is really good. Pho Ribeye was also tasty! Hit the spot.

June 2026 Updated review:…read more Bowls have been dumbed down by 40%. Less meat, more noodles, less broth and less veggie amenities. Truly disappointing since they upped the prices as well. So you're paying more for less good food. I would hope they read my reviews and go back to how they served big bowls of yummy pho with great ingredients. I know food is expensive but they've already increased their prices to offshoot current inflation. SO GO BACK TO HOW YOU USED TO SERVE PHO.
