Food ok Service ok Ambiance ok Food overall was OK and was on more of the pricer side. The service was ok. Ambience was fine nice and spacious. If I was in the area again, I would not come back.

Veggie egg roll

Cool Vietnamese spot in downtown Long Beach. If you're craving some Vietnamese food and you're in the area, this is the spot. Good quality food. Good menu. Good service. Reasonable prices. I definitely recommend trying them out.

I always only go here to get a lychee slush when I'm hungover which is BOMBBBB. But I ordered pho on Uber Eats the other day when I was sick and it was extremely lackluster. Nothing special about this pho, the flank was super chewy but the brisket was soft. Why I come here to write a review though; they had a buy one get one free deal on the spring rolls. I ordered the shrimp ones and they were disgustingly fishy. Would not recommend the spring rolls.

We randomly walked in craving pho. It was a guy in a collared shirt working and a girl up in the front . The guy rang us up and he looked like he hates his job bad. No attitude to us, but very low energy in general and just his face. And also stares at people , no welcoming in. He also just was on his phone then proceeds to work. The girl is sweet however. The food arrived sooo fast. Big bowl which is unexpected. Very delicious , nothing is wrong with the food at all and it's a decent price. His ambiance was not very welcoming. Other than that, nice spot.

Cute little restaurant. Pho as well as stir-fry and noodles. Clean inside and friendly service. Prices are decent. You order at the counter and take a number and are served at the table. The food tasted really good. We had the Garlic Butter shrimp and Lemongrass Chicken with fried rice. They also serve wine and beer. I will definitely eat there again.

Berry smoothie and green tea lychee
Adrianna V.

I would definitely recommend coming back during happy hour. I had a craving for a summer roll. I had shrimp with mine. Also they typically provide fish sauce so I asked for a peanut sauce imo way better. It tasted fresh and shrimp was plump and refreshing. I would order that again. They also have a bogo during happy hour..being non alcoholic beverages, I ordered a green tea lychee and a berry smoothie. Those were pretty good a bit on the sweet side but to be expected. Service was great and was provided all the essentials. Lots of seating as well.

I have been interested in trying Pho since I've never had it before. I have to say I'm so glad I chose this place as my introduction! I ordered Pho from this restaurant on DoorDash and it came deconstructed, fresh and hot, which I appreciated! I got pho with chicken and the chicken/beef broth. The broth mixed with the herbaceous flavor of the mint and green onion was simply amazing. I don't know what took me so long to get hip to Pho but I'm a fan! This will definitely be on my go to spot list.

Pho

Just moved to LB from OC which honestly changes you palate when it comes to Asian food. I was feeling a litlle under the weather so I ordered take out. The food was ready on time and the ingredients were fresh, but the pho was very mediocre. The meat was high quality but i could tell that the broth was alright. The price was cheaper compared to OC but it tasted more like soup than actual pho in my opinion.

Garlic noodles with Beef.
Nicholas C.

I'd go as far as saying this is one of the worst pho spots I've been to. Normally I don't like to do this but, I don't want someone else craving pho to experience what I had to. The pho with thin noodles, and rare flank is what I ordered. My main problem was the broth. It didn't taste authentic at ALL. Like a beef broth they got from Ralph's and put some random American seasonings. The broth was somewhat too salty, and just not what Vietnamese broth supposed to taste like. Best comparison is it was similar to a chicken soup somehow. The noodles were too chewy, and the meat was also on the chewier side as well. I WILL SAY THIS, the lady who took our order at the front was very nice and sweet to us. So at least good service on that side. However, a different employee delivered our meat to a wrong table (cause we order our meat on the side). And the second plate came like 35 mins later. 2nd plate was garlic noodles and beef. The noodles didn't taste garlic like, or good. And the beef somehow had some kind of sweetness to it, and just did not hit right. To at least not be a complete Debbie downer, I will say the ambience is nice for a date. The place was clean, and it had a nice modern aesthetic. Overall, if you want good pho, PLEASE DON'T GO HERE. If you have to go here, don't order pho or noodles with beef. You will be disappointed.

Chicken pho
Lauren K.

A decent spot for pho and noodles. I only ordered takeout so I cannot speak on the dine in experience! I wouldn't say it's super authentic or the best pho in town but it definitely helps with your cravings! I like the shaking beef garlic noodles though I think it's a bit greasy/salty and the noodles are too thin for garlic noodles. However still tasty! The chicken pho is decent but fairly bland. The eggrolls are good and crispy. Food: 6/10 Parking: 7/10 (street parking always available) Takeout: 8/10 (always fast for pickup) Environment: 8/10 (right in downtown, fun spot, dog friendly, outdoor and indoor seating available, never too busy)

My Summer Rolls minus one of course ... this was so light and yummy
Thelia M.

Never have complaints... the girls are alway sweet and the food is always fresh. I don't come here often, but when I do get a chance, the flavors are always the exact same, nothing changes and that a bonus for me! There's plenty of seating in the restaurant and there's a bar and tv screens. Come check it out you won't regret it.

Saigon salad with chicken
Sue H.

Lunch was just ok. This restaurant is modern and attractive with clean restrooms and friendly servers. I am just not a fan of their version of Vietnamese cuisine. My Saigon salad noodle bowl had giant shrimp chips on top, and lots of dark meat chicken. Unremarkable though. Husbands lemongrass chicken had lots of dark meat chicken and a big pile of rice. Filling but unmemorable. Many examples of this cuisine include some vegetables with this dish, but not here. No side salad, no fish sauce vinaigrette for dunking. Don't think we'll be back, unless nothing else is open.

Ask the Community - 123 Pho

Are the crispy baos vegan if we choose vegetarian filling?

How late do they deliver?

They stop delivering at 10:30 sweetheart. A good rule of thumb is, put in an order between 10 & 10:15pm.

Do they mention whether they use MSG?

Glutamate is almost in everything you eat. Funny how this xenophobia myth still lives. MSG is nothing more than protein mixed with salt. Glutamate is extracted from fruits and vegetables and is crystallized with sodium to stabilize the compound.… 

Do they have any rice noodles?

The pho noodles and vermicelli noodles are rice noodles.

Stopped by Movita Juice Bar and grabbed the Pineapple Mango Mini Smoothie and the Very Very Mini…read moreAçaí Bowl. Both were great--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was looking for. Everything was prepped quickly, the cashiers were friendly, and the environment was nice and quiet. There was a slight bleach smell when I first walked in, so I sat outside while I waited. By the time I went back in to grab my order, the smell was completely gone. If anything, at least you know they're keeping the place clean! Overall, great experience, good food, fast service, and friendly staff. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and highly recommend. Five stars!

Service was shit. I go in to order my usual which would be a peanut butter smoothie and I wanted to…read moretry the warm oatmeal that's promoted on app and outside of store. I go in a speak to the girl with giving her my number and order. She tells me there is oatmeal in the cold area with blueberries. I informed her that I don't want COLD OATMEAL AND I DONT LIKE BLUEBERRIES. She tells me I can just take them off. Told her again I want warm oatmeal with banana and strawberries. So she place the puts the order in with me giving her a 20.00 dollar bill. She say after opening the register I don't have any dollar bills to give you your change with was 4.00 and some change. So she ends up giving me quarters which was fine since they weren't able to just add the amount as a credit to my account. A few minutes passed and I look and hear a faint voice say Ashley and look to see my order is ready. Ask for a bag and bag my order then leave. Get to my car to eat my oatmeal and THE OATMEAL IS COLD. Like what the HELL !!! Irritated to the highest level of irritation. I go back to see why I was giving COLD OATMEAL. The first thing I say is "I'm confused why" the same girl interrupted me to say to her coworker/manager " we're gonna have a problem " Now I'm even more irritated cause you've labeled me as a "problem " you didn't even allow me to finish saying what I was gonna say and your response was rude and bad customer service. So now I match energy and tell her to step to side and let me talk to your coworker/manager Brian. Brian tells me that they serve cold oatmeal. I let him know that I told her twice that I wanted WARM OATMEAL that's being promoted on the app and outside of the store. But not once did I receive an apologize from her or him for the confusion but he said he would make the order over. But then decided that he wasn't going to make it over and will just give me my money back because I was telling him that she needs to be trained over and her hair needs to be in a ponytail/bun so that it does not get into peoples food or in peoples drinks.

The whole set up makes this place so inviting but also entirely cozy feel it's fantastic! I had an absolutely great experience on a Saturday! It was so good that I came back the very next day on Sunday to get the same thing. Unfortunately, I couldn't even consume my order the second day. I ordered the green machine smoothie which was absolutely phenomenal the first day the second day it was an entirely different color and crazy sour taste. The front end person making my drink told me that this was due to the differing amounts of spinach each person makes it with. The crazy thing was this second smoothie wasn't green like the first day so how does less spinach make it sour?? Honestly it seemed like the milk went bad and they didn't want to say anything. They didn't remake my drink and seemed offended when I asked clarification on why it was an entirely different color and taste. (Included in pictures) Those things aside the chocolate donut was phenomenal and I did really love my experience on Saturday. Sunday just left such a horrible taste (literally) in my mouth that I wouldn't be back. *Edited to show "green machine" not just "green smoothie" as previously stated.
