    Shrimp vegetables & fried rice Vegetables soup Hot jasmine tea
    Alex T.

    So delicious I really love this place The attention its so good The taste is so wonderful Im very pleased

    Eddie S.

    What do you get cuando you mix comida de Chino, Vietnamese y un poco de comida Americano in a somewhat barrio de Latino's y Americanos que gustan comida Asiatico? You get Southmore Asian Restaurant. Si hablas espanol, el carte se leer en espanol tambien donde se cuenta la comida y cuanto cuesta la comida. It is also in English with a brief description on what you are looking at. There is a spread for everybody here, Vietnamese food, Chinese (American catered) Fried rice and fried foods such as shrimp, fish and french fries. I can see all of the good reviews of 4 stars and above for this place which I would believe if I ever visited here again would reflect that on me as well but I was just not feeling the Pho' like everybody was talking about. To me, it was borderline flavor to flavorless but had really tender thin sliced beef that tipped it over the 6 outof 10 scale, let's that that a 6 1/2 or even a 7. For only $5 that night I could NOT shoot down this dish and guess what, let my budget order me some fried fish, shrimp and fries. Yes, I was hungry that night. Let me tell you about the fish and shrimp platter. It came out hot, it came out fresh, it beckoned me to dare to hatch the fries immediately.....I burned my tongue, did not expect that. It was a good hurt feeling like when you pull a tack out of your butt, yes, I learned to be careful where I sit now. The tarter sauce that came out with it was decent. It was hard for me to distinguish if it was sysco imported semi clear goo or if they made it in the back since there were good chunks of pickles entwined in it. The ketup with the bottle dallop squeezed mayonnaise on top made an interesting ponder whether to eat it that way because you like mayonnaise or aren't used to eating fries like that and will give it a try. Each to their own, I liked it, kind of. The first iced tea I was served was decent, good strength. The refill I had to go up to the cashier to beg for tasted like booty. If you've ever worked in a restaurant before then you know what I'm talking about, when your co workers do not clean the bottom of the steel iced tea container and you get the iced tea sip the next day? Iz okay, iz only ized tea. Parking, pretty tight, touch and go. Not ample if it ever gets busy here which lunch would be suspect but I got here at a good time. Pricing, as everybody that has reviewed here says and is true, cheap! You cannot find a cheaper place around even though I do not go to Pasadena much but if I did, I would be here. In all fairness, they seemed a little busy so I cannot knock the non existent service after they drop the food off. I am sure this will be a 4 star place on my next visit. Bookmark it, read the reviews, look at the food pictures, learn a little spanish, make the time and visit here and you will most likely NOT be disappointed. Got picky kids? There is a little of everything here and you don't have to worry about them being loud and disturbing other patrons because this isn't exactly a sit down enjoy a date restaurant. The cleanliness of this establishment is on par for where you are and what you are eating/paying for. It's not dirty/stinky bad, very tolerable even for a clean freak like mua. No hagas caso el bano porque no es culpa de ellos que algun cargaste aqui y hechaste unas mal cochineras en el piezo. Pinches cochino a quien hizo eso. There are two televisions here but the sound is muted down for your dining enjoyment.

    Pork egg rolls
    Kelley B.

    This place is pretty good for Vietnamese food. I ordered the spicy vegetable soup and it was ok? I had to add sriracha sauce because the soup was not spicy at all? Then ordered the pork egg rolls and they where pretty good? Nothing to write home about lol! In the past I have order the pho and it was really good.

    That's supposed to be grilled chicken in the spring roll. Doesn't look or taste like chicken to me. Yuck!
    Nora D.

    Not good at all. I asked for chicken spring rolls and a chicken sandwich but I REALLY don't think I got chicken. Grilled chicken should not be brown. My food was disgusting, I couldn't even finish it. Tossed it straight in the trash. Never going back to this place again.

    Theresa Chinese/Vietnamese in Pasadena!
    Yvette M.

    I was so happy to find this place in Pasadena. Typically my fiance and I have to leave Pasadena in order to find Chinese food that we both like. This place felt like it was made for us! It is Chinese and Vietnamese! On the Restaurant sign it said Fast Food, which made me wonder what I was getting myself into but I was surprised at how awesome the food was. We ordered water, tea, wonton soup, Vietnamese egg rolls, I decided on the chicken lo men and he opted for the General Tso's chicken. Wonton soup was very good, the broth was not too salty and the wontons had a very fresh taste which made it really hard to come to terms to the soup being all done! The Chicken Lo Mein was also very good, and I was so surprised at the plate of food I received. First of all the chicken felt tender and moist, which sometimes at other places chicken tends to be a bit on the dry side. Secondly (and my favorite part about it) is that the vegetables taste extremely fresh, they are not super soggy, they have a nice crunch to them, the broccoli was not just a bunch of stems. The combination of the food on the plate was very well balanced as far as the chicken, vegetables, and noodles go you had enough of each through each bite. Customer Service was very good as well, if we ever needed anything the waiter would bring it over to us right away. Very pleasant experience. If you drive through Southmore make sure to try this place out... you will not be let down, as a matter of fact, it will exceed your expectations.

    Eye round steak and brisket pho $6.95
    Sammie B.

    This is a really excellent spot to get some good pho at decent prices. The wait staff is very attentive and friendly. I got a bowl of Eye round steak and brisket w/fresh herbs for $6.95 and an order of pork egg rolls for $2.50. The food came out fairly quickly, with my my appetizer coming out first which is always great. The dining area is clean and the bathrooms smell fresh and are clean, paper towels were filled as well as a hand dryer. I'll definitely be back again!

    Yommyyyyness. Cheap prices, great portions. Just all around delicious.

    The Freddy's experience has always been fine. I've honestly only ever been a couple times, but it's…read morea basic fast food vibe, but just slightly elevated in that they serve a variety of smash burgers which are tasty. They are also known for their custards This location was fairly clean, there were plenty of tables open. There's also a free parking lot with many spots and I've never known it to fill up The staff were friendly and professional enough. You get an order number, and they let you know when the order is ready. I'm not sure if it was the microphone, but we couldn't understand a word the person using it was saying I wish there were a couple more healthy options here than their interesting take on a salad, but I don't know that healthy is necessary the demographic they're going for. I do like that they have options for fries vs onion rings, and they offer a variety of house fry sauces which are a nice touch Some tips: They have a drive-thru is you want to take your order on the go They have shoestring fries that can get a little too crispy, but again it's nothing that the fry sauce can't fix. They have a jalapeño sauce, but it really doesn't have much of a kick Cheers!!

    I broke my Freddy's boycott because I had a $30 gift card. Though this was a different location, I…read morestill left disappointed. The service here on my visit was outstanding. I even explained to the manager at the counter my previous experience with a nearby location and corporate (who remained radio silent), and she did everything in her power to help mend the relationship. Impressive. Not so impressive was the food here. First, this chain serves Vienna Beef hot dogs, which are the best hot dogs in the universe, as far as I'm concerned. (I order them regularly from Gold Belly.) Vienna Beef is central to a Chicago Dog, which used to be central to the Freddy's menu. But no longer. They don't even have sport peppers in the building any more, rather they offer fried jalapenos. So I went with mustard and kraut, since they tend to do a decent job with that. My bad. Though the kraut was nice and crunchy, the dogs came out ... not cold, but barely warmed. The fries, which you have to eat in a hurry (else they'll get cold), came out at room temp. I sampled the smash burger and the patty melt and was unimpressed with the temperature and quality. Someone way over salted the burger -- probably an accident -- and it just seemed greasier than usual. Also not impressive here was the cleanliness. The table was OK, but the drink and condiment area left much to be desired. Also, take a look at my photo of the tray. Why would someone serve my food on this? Bottom line: Freddy's has been passed around between private equity firms since the pandemic. I usually don't complain or worry about such transactions, but my experiences at this joint since then have mostly been negative. Coincidence? Perhaps. But the next time someone gives me a gift card to this place, I'll re-gift it.

Randomly found this in between the airport and our hotel via yelp and I'm so happy we did. You can tell it's a local hot spot and its reputation speaks for itself. The inside is "small" but enough to sit at least 20-30 ppl. They have kiosks to order, you take your number and they call out your name when your order is ready. I was really impressed with the amount of items on their menu and know if I lived anywhere close my bad would be wide and my blood pressure high. The workers were very kind as well, I made a change in my order nearly 5mins after I ordered and they were gracious in accommodating my request which I very much appreciated. We had: Strawberry cheesecake Açaí bowl - 10/10 - it was perfect in every way. Bits of cheesecake, granola, strawberries and a drizzle of honey. This bowl alone could feed two people and three wouldn't be a stretch. I also had a strawberry vanilla soda type drink that I wish I got a larger size of because it was so good. Think a float without the thickness, it was refreshing and unique. Caramel Pecan Dream - wow 10/10 - it was so RICH and the consistency was amazing. The little bits of pecans were the perfect contrast to the creaminess of the shake itself. Burger and sweet potatoes fries - 10/10 - they do classics well too, no real notes but it was delicious.
