    Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls
    Kathy Z.

    Don't let the exterior fool you -- with its fun lights, clean seats and pops of color, this pho shop in Porter Ranch is quite inviting and aesthetically pleasing on the inside. This restaurant has been here for two years, but we only recently noticed it and decided to venture in for lunch. We're glad we did! The menu features noodle soups, noodle bowls, rice dishes, hot pots, handheld appetizers like spring rolls and egg rolls, banh mi sandwiches, boba, smoothies and more. Great selection of veggie-friendly options for those who may appreciate it. We had the shrimp and pork spring rolls -- good, but very small portion of pork. We also had a couple of pho bowls. Mine came with short rib still on the bone, which I found to be a bit intimidating. Decent portions, several options to add spice, and overall delicious taste. Attentive and personable staff. Plenty of free parking available in the lot. Lastly, their website says they are closed on Tuesdays, but that seems to be outdated. They are open every day from 10am to 9pm.

    Shout out to Candice for waiting on my party of 12. Thank you! You were awesome! Great place! Food is consistent. Everything I get here has been tasty, fresh and delicious! Looking forward to having more group gatherings here.

    Friendly staff with a clean and inviting atmosphere and can hold large groups. Pho was decent but did lack the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Good clean broth though. Meat was a bit too overcooked for me personally before getting to me. Banhmi was decent. Chicken lemon grass... but not much lemon grass. Chicken had relatively no seasoning of flavor and slightly overcooked. Baguette could use an upgrade. Overall not a bad spot to get your vietnamese food fix.

    A local hidden gem in a Porter Ranch strip mall, serving high quality Pho in a very clean and updated environment complete with a tv if you want to know what's going on in the playoffs. Dine in and take out have both provided excellent experiences for my little girls and I. Their pho comes out almost immediately steaming with vibrant greens on top. Crispy cooked to order egg rolls. Thai tea with boba so delicious. The bbq beef and rice plate or the marinated chicken (a whole Cornish hen flattened and super yummy. Hard to go wrong! Also our favorite waitress is Sariah hands down so attentive even when they are crowded. The staff cares about your culinary experience.

    Grilled beef bahn mi

    Came here during a rainy day with the wife Wife got grilled pork spring roll for $6 (came with two) and create your own pho with beef broth, flat rice noodles and double brisket and flank (you get to choose 3 proteins). She really liked the broth flavor and tenderness of the meat. I got two Bahn mi sandwiches - one grilled pork and one grilled beef. Each was $9. Total after a small tip for takeout was about $44. Should cover two meals for each of us, so an acceptable amount. Next time we'll probably eat there though so the food is hotter and fresher. Might have sat too long as we ordered takeout, shopped at Amazon fresh and took our sweet time and then took the food home. Service was pleasant. Inside was bright, clean and had ample seating. Also had a tv showing sports. I also like the dessert options. If not for the rain, I'd have considered the taro smoothie $6.

    What an amazing find! Great friendly customer service. I was looking for Vietnamese servers, seems they're all in the kitchen cooking. OK by me, cuz the food was delicious and the customer service better than other Vietnamese places. Maybe a business strategy to be considered by others? The portions are generous. Enough to eat half at the restaurant and the other half for later. Loved that there is a long booth on both sides of the restaurant that can accommodate a large party. I plan on bringing more of my family here.

    Today my little family and I went to Savory Pho and were so pleased with the experience. The service was great. The waiter was very attentive and personable, he served us water and took our order a few minutes after being seated. I ordered a chicken fried rice, combination plate. It was delicious and they were very generous with their meat portions. I will likely add this one to my favorites. Thank you, Savory Pho!

    Vermicelli with beef, shrimp, and egg roll
    Reveka G.

    Popped in for dinner before heading over to the movie theaters down the road and it was perfect. We got seated right away, service was prompt, food was fresh, they split the bill for us and we were on our way! Decor had a lot going on but the restaurant is spacious enough for it. I had the vermicelli with beef, shrimp, and egg roll... minus the noodles and double up on the greens... it was really good. The hint of lemon grass (which I believe was on the beef) was really delightful. Will likely return when in the area.

    Food is good! My pho had a lot of meat, which I was surprised, a good surprise! Service was great and place looks nice, sharp and clean. Lots of tables and parking lot is big.

    Com Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef)
    Peter M.

    Savory Pho, is a small but elegantly appointed Vietnamese restaurant at Tampa and Rinaldi, in Northridge. I have eaten here several times and the food has never disappointed me. One of their signature dishes is the Beef Luc Lac, which is also called Shaking Beef. It is touted as a French fusion of sweet & savory cubed filet mignon, stir fried with onion, garlic, butter, & oyster sauce....Served with steamed rice & soy sauce. This time, I got to the restaurant and then ordered it to go. They asked for payment (and tip) immediately and the take out bag came out in less than 3 minutes. I was floored. Because I was still in the process of trying to check in on Yelp :) So I asked the server bluntly, whether it was an already prepared, microwave job. Never have I got a carry out so fast. She replied by saying that they just cooked it. That was not accurate. When I got home, it was clear that the dish was not stir fried, there was no char, no wok fragrance on the dish or the cubed beef pieces. Half of the meat pieces were tender, the other half chewy. It also lacked freshness, flavor and spice with lackluster taste and definitely was not as I had experienced it before. More of a kind of boiled and reheat affair. Disappointing, to say the least (see my pictures of this dish from before). Furthermore, I recently got back from a trip to Vietnam, where I had this entree, perfectly prepared, in all its composition and splendor. But this story does not end here. After learning of my dissatisfaction, Michael, the owner communicated with me to apologize, offering to prepare the dish one more time or fully refund my check. You do not see this level of immediate, caring customer service often, if any. Mistakes can happen. And, it is only fair to give a hard working establishment the chance. So i did. They prepared the dish again, at the level it should be, succulent, seared and enticing. Customer service during this encounter was, also high class. Thank you, Candace, for making me feel extremely comfortable. Also, high marks to Michael. Every restaurant should take note, in how this should be done. Thank you very much.... and see you soon.

    Still our favorite place to diner in Porter Ranch because the Vietnamese food is nostalgic. The service is generally good but our favorite server is Carmen. She's friendly, quick, and always available as soon as we need anything. She must be very intuitive! I love the decor for lunar new year, but any time of year the restaurant is bright and clean. Now that we've tried more dishes, our current favorites are the Catfish soup, crispy pan fried noodle, and house special pho. The Catfish soup is sweet and sour with lots of fresh veggies. It's bright and comforting. The crispy pan fried noodle is a deep fried noodle that is super crunchy and is smothered in a sauce and topped with veggies and meat. It's very filling and we love it with the pickled chillies. The house special pho is a great way to have pho with a little bit of everything in a savory broth. I love it when I'm not feeling well or when the weather is cold or rainy.

    A colleague had the hankering for pho, so we made our way down here for a quick lunch. We had a party of 14 and were seated quickly since the restaurant wasn't too full. The interior was brightly lit with LEDs all around, and American pop music from the aughts was playing. Although I would usually go for something like a bun thit nuong, I went for their pho dac biet to try their soup (the Savory House Special with Flat Rice noodles). Order was completed just as fast, which was surprising considering how large our group was and the variety of selections which included sides of chicken wings and spring rolls as well as iced coffee. The soup was delicious and included a decent amount of the beef steak, brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and beef balls. I felt the flat rice noodles were slightly overdone and broke easily. With that said, it was a satisfying bowl of pho overall, and the waitstaff was on top of things.

    First time coming here and it was honestly not bad. Very clean interior with plenty of seating, quick service as well. I liked how you can change the pho noodles out for flat rice noodles. Portions were really good, with clean tasting broth. I would come back!

Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15. But to constantly take the top 5 for recommended on Yelp in this area and waste my time to even look at it, it definitely doesn't belong remotely close to top 10.

Since it was a group visit, we ended up tasting almost everything on the menu--and every single item impressed us.

The jhol momos were rich and flavorful, and the steamed momos were juicy, soft, and perfectly cooked--simple and delicious. One of the biggest highlights was their new addition: Maggi. It was hands down the best--pure nostalgia in a bowl and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave. And for me, the clear winner was the loaded fries--crispy, generously topped, and absolutely addictive. I loved them and would happily go back just for those.

Overall, between the lackluster flavor and the confusing substitution, it just didn't feel like a thoughtful or well-executed experience.
