    Want to grab pho in the area and found this restaurant. There was some street parking close by. We ordered pho and bun. They gave sooo little bean sprouts initially. It took a bit of effort to get their attention to ask for more. But they still gave very little additional beansprout. Food tasted ok.

    Dare I say, one of the best spots that serve Bánh mì in Long Beach. Not only is the ambiance comfortable in both terms of cleanliness and atmosphere, the place is very relaxing to dine in. The staff are very respectful and they seem very passionate in their work which is not something you would get often from a lot of restaurants. The seating is not as claustrophobic and there is a fair amount of space. As I was selecting from the many, diverse options--my mind immediately went to the Bánh mì. Me and my sister loved to try different kinds of Bánh mì from different places because it is a favorite in our family. I ordered the Tofu Bánh mì, and I was amazed at just how aromatic the dish smelled when it was first presented, the scent of the fresh vegetables gave me the feeling of comfort I felt when I first tried Vietnamese Cuisine. The dish was the perfect mix of tangy and refreshing wrapped up into a dish, packed with remarkable flavor that just makes you full. The vegetables had the perfect crunch to it, fresh cilantro and pickled carrots. The tofu blended in the crunch with its soft texture, making the perfect bite. The food is done well and I am impressed at how a first impression could be so interesting. Thank you to We Love Pho 2, for the adventurous opportunity to try the Bánh mì. Hoping to come again soon.

    This has to be one of the best pho restaurants in OC. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Tons of parking. Employees were super patient and helpful! Expansive menu with reasonable prices!

    First revisit , 2026 Review. Entered this location and was told to sit there or here. Pho is good, no complaints about that at all. Food is actually pretty good! My biggest complaint for this year is customer service. The people (servers / Host) inside this establishment forgot their customer service etiquette! We ordered one time and food was delivered, nobody came back to check up on us. Never came back to ask us how we were doing or do we need a refill of water. Something of that nature. They are so busy taking their online orders, they actually forgot about the people sitting in the restaurant. Disappointing. This place is a hit and miss with me. I experience the good and the bad. This time the bad was noticeable. They need to change their focus and commit to what is important, which is the peope dining. Also they had a corrective sign which states, food temperature correction. I was shocked to see that. I still would come here. They need improvement on their customer service manners.

    Pho brisket

    Came here on a Sunday around 4pm got seated right away. Rainy day quickly got full. Small space. Service was good. Two tvs and bathrooms. Ordered the brisket small size. Enough meat in it and good amount of noodles. The broth was good but on the sweeter side I prefer savory. Condiments were fresh. All in all good for a one time try.

    This restuarant is nestled within a number of other store front establishments. I was craving Pho thought I give We Love Pho 2 a try. I was greeted immediately by a server who ask that I sit anywhere I like. Upon entering it already had about three tables engaged in their meal, and a constant flow of folks picking up their to go orders. I asked for a menu but was told to use the QR Code display to view their complete menu. This menu was packed with not only Pho but , fried rice, combination fried rice, rice with beef, tufo,shrimp, or rice pick salamon, or pork. Also vermicelli bowls, vegetarian dishes, stir fried dishes, appetizers, sizes like rare beef, filet mignon, sunny side egg, meat balls, tendons. An assortment of beverages like Thai Ice Tea, Vietnamese Ice Coffee, lemonade, strawberry lemonade, fresh passion fruit, ice tea, jasmine hot tea, and sodas. I selected Pho Rare Beef & Brisket which the broth is cooked fresh each morning. The broth was so smooth and delicious I ensured to include the side of seasoning, sprouts, basil and a lot of their crumble garlic that was there at my table for the taking really had to eat it slow as it was so good. The beef just was filled with taste and was so tender. The thai ice tea was a strong flavorable bew it was delioucious. The vibe was great music they played was afobeats, urban and alternative jams just my vibe. Nice little cozy spot for a date or sôme real good friends. I really enjoyed my time had so much Pho because the bowl was large took it home . Leftovers the next day it taste even better.

    Great hole-in-the-wall kind of place. The pho is super tasty and service is fair. Menus are QR codes so you will need a smart phone (yes, not everyone has one). They have great lunch specials of pho with a spring roll and soda. Comes in small or large portions. I had the rare beef and my daughter had the chicken. They are generous with the meat. You must try this place if you haven't!

    Pho rare steak!

    First time here ! Loved it ! Ordered a Vietnamese coffee and that drink is strong!!!!! Sooo good tho!!! A must try for sure

    Amazing customer service. Very welcoming. Cute and nice decoration in this restaurant Love the spotify list also lol Got two special combo, large Ice jasmine tea Vietnamese iced coffee Pho - broth is Flavorful, sweeter then most broths I have had but not in a bad way. Not to oily also which is great. Pinch of lime makes it almost perfect. Noodles... best part. Noodles not over done. Just perfect. Meat and toppings were spot on Only ding is the coffee... it's syrup based, not the more traditional flavor. Not bad just not for me. Will be back cause we love PHO.

    You Love Pho? We Love Pho 2. I Love Pho 3! Set! Actually, I'm not totally sure that would be considered a proper set in that card game, but either way, if you love pho, you'll almost certainly love the pho at We Love Pho 2! I went out for lunch with a co-worker who had been to this pho spot before a couple of times, but I hadn't been. I hadn't had pho in over two years, and that was at an airport in a different state lol. What better way to break my fast of pho than at We Love Pho...2! But no We Love Pho 1? Well, I don't know if there ever was one (or 1), so I can't really comment on that lol. We Love Pho 2 is located on the northeast corner of Carson and Norse. There's a pretty big menu board on the sidewalk where passersby could stop by and check out what offerings are available at this Vietnamese eatery just east of Lakewood Blvd. It's also right next to a sculpture of a tennis racket and ball that you'd normally see at parks signifying that they have tennis courts. In this case, the tennis courts are on the other side of Carson St at Long Beach Community College (LBCC). As soon as we walked in, a server in the back pointed towards an empty table where we could sit. They don't have any laminated or paper menus; instead, they just have a QR code that you scan with your phone so you can see their menu. My co-worker ordered the #30 Shaken Beef with Rice. When I read the description of that on the menu, it almost sounded like there'd be no vegetables, but it turns out there was a good amount of vegetables on there. When I saw my co-worker's dish, it almost looked like a deconstructed hamburger with some steak fajitas piled into the mix. It looked pretty good, but seeing that it was my first time at a place that specializes in pho, I felt it would have been remiss to choose a non-pho dish. There are a dozen choices for pho - rice noodle soup, but keep in mind some only come in Large size. I didn't see any empty bowl sizes, like boba shops would have empty cups at the register to inform the customer how much drink they'd be getting. Luckily, we saw a few bowls on other tables, and my co-worker immediately knew they were the Large size. Having empty bowls available for the customer to see up front would be very helpful here. I was torn between the #9 Pho Special Combo and the #11 House Special Egg Noodle, the latter of which comes with quail eggs. I wasn't sure how I'd like quail eggs in pho, so I went with the #9 Pho Special Combo, which comes with sliced rare beef, brisket, tendon & beef meatballs in a beef broth. It took about 5 minutes for the server to come and take our orders, and it took even less time than that for my order to come out! That's how fast it was! It's like they already had the soup prepared in a large pot and just poured it out onto a large bowl for me to consume. Alongside my bowl was a small plate that held basil leaves, bean sprouts, and a lime wedge. It took about a couple more minutes for my co-worker's Shaken Beef to come out, but we also got some spring rolls to share. The spring rolls came at the same time as my #9 Pho Special Combo, so we could commence eating at the same time. One order of spring rolls consist of three rolls supplemented by a peanut sauce of some sort. Each roll, wrapped in rice paper, has some sliced pork and shrimp alongside a small medley of vegetables. I had one and enjoyed it with the peanut sauce, but didn't like how the rice paper got pretty sticky on my fingers. They also have shrimp rolls, which are the same minus the sliced pork; it's pretty much the pescatarian version of spring rolls. My co-worker enjoyed his shaken beef with rice and various vegetables, which also included lettuce and tomato, hence the aforementioned deconstructed burger. I enjoyed my pho as well! After dumping the contents from the small plate into my bowl, I poured some sriracha sauce on the plate to dip the beef into, and that was pretty good I must say! I also added some hoisin sauce in my soup since the beef broth, while delish and flavorful on its own for the sodium-conscious, could have used more flavor in my opinion. The noodles did get quite clumpy at the bottom of the bowl, however, but it wasn't too much of a drawback for me, though I understand it might be for others. We also got a couple of fortune cookies alongside our receipt, but the fortunes inside were more akin to proverbs. For parking, there are a handful of spots on Norse Way, but if all the spots closer to Carson are taken, there's also parking in rear. The food itself was worth 5 stars, but I later realized that we could have gotten egg rolls and soda for free since we came during the lunch special hours, which are weekdays from 10 AM to 3 PM. The server didn't mention anything about that. Also, for the Large #9 Pho Special Combo I ordered, the menu outside states that it's $15.50, but the online menu says $16.50. Our server also seemed kind of dull and vapid during our visit.

    Metal piece found inside spring roll
    Beatrice M.

    Picked up dinner for my family. Spring rolls, eggs rolls and a stir fry plate and food was great however when I bit into the spring roll I found this metal looking piece inside. I was shocked! Not sure what it could be but I hope they're careful because that so dangerous and unsanitary.

    Pho Sliced Rare Beef & Beef Meatballs
    Jess D.

    I love this spot - it's cozy and homey. They have a rare beef and meatball pho which is my go to. The broth is yummy and flavorful. I love that they have small size pho for 13 dollars which is the perfect size for me.The service is quick and efficient but it gets really busy on rainy days! It's right near the LBX hanger with street parking.

Parking wasn't too bad since there's a good amount of street parking nearby. There's a bit of a wait, especially on the Sunday I went, but Yelp waitlist makes it much better. It's quite small inside, so very understandable. The menu is quite extensive, with a selection of noodle soups and pan fried noodles. We got the chicken student noodles, which came out rather quickly. I loved the texture of the noodles, as they had that bounciness to them. The chicken was cooked perfectly and made for a well-rounded dish.

We got their roast pork banh mi which was very delicious. It was savory and tender. Perfectly made. Lots of garnish as well. We also got their banh mi thit nuong which, as a classic banh mi option, would be something I'd definitely get again here as well. To top it off, we got their bo kho which is one of my childhood favorites. We came in with the plan on eating half of all the sandwiches and taking the rest home, but everything was so good that we ate everything at the restaurant lol. Service was very fast. Very professional. Presentation of the food was top tier (something you typically don't see at a banh mi establishment). Ambiance was a little noisy and busy.

Drove from Gardena to pickup two sandwiches and I am satisfied! So the cashier was training I believe bc it said trainee on the receipt and I asked what the two most popular sandwiches were... she said classic and grilled pork .. so upon my research I read about crispy pork.. and she said that was also good... so I ended up getting crispy pork and grilled pork Crispy pork which I hope was crispy (heo quay) it says pork belly on the receipt and not crispy pork belly idk if that's different? But it doesn't matter bc it was SOOO GOOD, Creamy buttery soft and slightly crispy Then the grilled pork (thit nuong) was okay pork belly was way better. It had more of a savory bbq taste to it and that's about it... idk if the cashier was new and stressed bc it was busy but if this was the most popular I would not get it again lol. I will come back just for the crispy pork belly sandwich Bomb.. i just ate one whole sandwich and could probably kill another half...
