    Seafood Pho with vegetarian broth
    Kai L.

    The server was sweet, and the wait for food wasn't long at all. I also ordered a Thai tea and that tasted great as well. The pho was flavorful, and it came with a good portion/assortment of seafood! I love how filling it is. They also they don't skimp on any of the meat or veggies. 10/10 would recommend!

    Great pho, perfect size as well. There is Valet parking outside for 3 dollars. Empty on a Thursday evening.

    My friend told me this place is popular their pho. I decided to give a try. So quite place and when I was there time not a lot of customers there. We ordered brisket pho and combination fried rices and summer rolls. Brisket pho(3/5)-it was ok but I can tell soup was better taste than other places wherever I go for pho. Combination fried rice(3/5)- a lot of protein inside of fried rice. Summer rolls(4/5)- I like this place summer rolls. The our server wasn't very kindly also this place parking was a bit pretty packed even if that's valet parking. It's not worth than eat here with $4 for valet service. Looks like clean also very old interior.

    It's a simple pho restaurant with neat interior. The food was what I would expect from a pho place. Broth was good, Ingredients were fresh. Their Thai ice tea was also decent (- little watery but not too bad). There was a lot of room in the restaurant. Service wasn't anything special... the server wasn't mean but not nice either. I don't know, it was good but nothing special... Parking is valet only $3. I might come back if I have a craving and it's close by but nothing made me think that it was my new and only pho place.

    I love pho! Was brought here by my girlfriend so sometimes I doubt the places she pics LOL. But I gotta say, with this one she hit it out the park, what a GEM. We arrived early in the day so it was slow. We were sat immediately. I appreciate the decor and how clean the restuarant was. The glass table top were a plus for me. The two young ladies who attended to us were exceptional. Now to the food, this has been by far one of the best tasting pho I have had! The food arrived fast and it was nice and hot! Which I personally prefer. The brisket was nice and tender and the broth was out of this world, it was like a warm hug. The appetizer combo was great too although the serving sizes were a bit under sized the taste and flavor of the spring roll, egg roll, and dumpling were great. Would I return? MOST DEFINITELY!   Ordered:  Appetizer Combo  B.3 Brisket Pho   Cons:  Parking might be a hassle.

    The best pho ever! I'm not Vietnamese but I assume that this is truly what an authentic pho recipe tastes like, made with heart and soul :') and everytime I go they have the absolute sweetest darling young lady working. She radiates positive energy throughout the restaurant making it that much more of a pleasant experience! Please come here!! ^^

    This is the best pho hands down!! The cleanest, most rich broth, so flavorful. TENDER MEAT! Great amount of noodles! Very filling!! The customer service is fantastic. So attentive!! Cozy home vibe! Best egg rolls and shrimp rolls! DEFINITELY recommend

    Vegetarian pho
    Yvette S.

    I ordered the vegetarian pho and my gf ordered the oxtail pho. In terms of flavor, the oxtail pho was actually pretty good. However, the vegetarian pho was lacking a bit of flavor. I understand it probably isn't the easiest making a super tasty vegetarian based pho, but this was pretty dull. I probably wouldn't order that again, but like I said earlier, the beef was good. Extra star for the shrimp spring rolls (I always omit the pork) those were also tasty!

    After a visit to the hair salon in same mall (Pink Comb) I stopped by and placed a take-way order. Bun Bo Hue and two spring rolls. Absolutely delicious! The broth is clean and flavorful seasoned perfectly. Portion size is huge and I only finished a fourth and was so full. The order came with a good size portion of meats, veggies and a few packets of hoisin and sriracha. I like eating here as the flavors are authentic. A plus service as always, the young lady who helped me today was so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend dining here the pho is so good here too, price was nominal at $23 not including tip.

    Spacious pho restaurant in a little KTown plaza. Conveniently located right next to a bus stop. Valet parking in the lot, but you should be able to self park/street park. The takeout and ordering in experience is very fast, and staff is nice. They have the menu under a glass cover on every table, at every seat. I felt pho was better than average, but not the best I've had. I got the pho with meatballs, and the meatballs came quartered. I didn't enjoy the texture of the meatballs and it's possible they could have been frozen, which was regretful because I feel like a proper, handrolled meatball can really make a bowl of pho go to the next level. Good amount of noodles and the broth was also good. We also got the vermicelli and grilled pork, which was flavorful. Dish came with pho broth and a spicy/sour dipping sauce. I'll probably opt for a vermicelli/rice plate next time I come here. Overall, prices are very fair for LA. A bowl of pho will run you $12 here, and a combination pho (with varied meats like their brisket, tripe, meatball etc.) is just above $13. Hits the spot for pho, but not mindblowing to me. Still a solid spot to stop for a quick meal or conversation.

There were allegedly no tables available so we were told to put our names down. We waited about 7-10 mins and were sat. We each ordered the House Pho since it seemed to be the most popular dish, as well as an order of Spring Rolls. The waiter who was attending to us repeated our order which was (2) bowls of House Pho, Spring Rolls, and (2) beverages. When the food came out we only received one of the Pho dishes and one beverage. We asked to follow up on our additional soup and beverage only to the waited to tell us that we had only ordered one soup dish and one drink. We were very confused since he had repeated the order to us before sending it to the kitchen. The soup itself was lukewarm and flavor of the broth wasn't necessarily extraordinary. Similar to what others have written, it lacked flavor and tasted watered down. Pho should be packed with flavor and hot. The quality of meat was okay, but don't think I'll be going back. I wish I had nicer things to say about this place, but everything was disappointing. TLDR; overhyped, lacks flavor, and overpriced.

The spot was mostly empty when my girlfriend and I arrived for dinner around 5:30pm on a Saturday. We ordered with the host and picked out a table by the window to people watch while we waited for our food. We waited only maybe 10 minutes before the pho, vermicelli, and spring roles were served. Each dish was colorful, had great presentation, and nice portions for the price. The pho we ordered was spicy level hot and did have well done broth and a good amount of sliced steak. The protein was tender, and the veggie toppings added great elements of minty crunch and herbal delight. I enjoyed my combination noodles. The bowl had a good mix of vegetables and a few types of protein ( chicken, pork, fried egg roll, and shrimp ) it was awesome! The spring rolls were terrific as well. The peanut sauce had some nut crumbles for texture which had subtle crunch with every spring role bite. The food was good, staff was great, and I'd consider coming back if ever in the area again with a Vietnam craving.

Their prices have not changed in years and the portions remain the same versus shrinkflation. Their menu is not that big but it has your essential Vietnamese dishes. Today I ordered the banh beo bi, vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls, nem nuong coun and che ba mau. Banh beo bi are rice cakes topped with shredded pork. It comes with chilies and fish sauce for you to pour on top. The rice cakes are served warm and are super smooth and soft. The thai chilies it comes with are spicy so don't use too much. The vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls comes with a slab of meat and a whole egg roll. The bottom are the noodles and mix of veggie and herbs. The nem nuong is sweetened charbroiled pork that is grilled. Think of a sweet meat ball. The egg rolls are super crispy and filled with meat. The noodles go well with the fish sauce and there are a lot of veggies inside. The nem nuong coun is a spring roll that's wrapped in rice paper. It has the meat and lettuce wrapped inside and comes with a dipping sauce. I believe the sauce is made with ground shrimp. For $8 for 3 rolls it is a steal compared to other restaurants. If you are craving Brodards in OC this place can satisfy your craving. Their che ba mau which is a 3 bean dessert has a lot of beans inside topped with coconut milk and shaved ice.

Not much mung bean either after stirring it literally for about 4 seconds the mung bean basically disintegrated into the liquid. The liquid.. watered down skim milk, not a trace of coconut flavor anywhere. I didn't know you can mess up Che Ba Mau until I had it from here.
