Adeeva M.

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
Sepideh S.

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.

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.

Pho with tendon
Debbie W.

Order Pho with beef tendon and the protein was all fat, slimmy and disgusting. Tendon at other Pho restaurants is not like this. More fat than meat.

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.

Not the best vermicelli. We got the pho and the chicken vermicelli and both were subpar... unsure if they were even using the correct noodles. Fish sauce was not fishy enough. Pho broth was... alright, but it wasn't authentic, not enough spices or beef flavor. I think it's good for convenience, staff is also very friendly, but that's about it.

The pho bowl with brisket and rare flank
Chris Y.

I'm a big pho fan! This place has many options to enjoy. When you walk in just look to the right and walk right over and order. With the pho you get 3 protein choices and I opted for one brisket and two helpings of rare flank and it was worth it!! Then when you get your number you'll get to enjoy a huge selection of seating The portions are amazing!!! I loved the flavor and how filling it was! Great seating and cheap parking available.

This is how hard the beef is.
Leo Z.

This is how hard the beef is. The price was decent. Very affordable place. Do not order the popcorn chicken tho.

Banh Mi
Yuri J.

Viet food with a twist! A cute spot in Long Beach for your Viet food cravings. The vermicelli rolls are delicious , stuffed with lemongrass pork and comes with a fish/peanut sauce that is quite refreshing and flavorful! It's a cool and fun concept to customize your own pho - the broth is warm and a lil sweet. The lemongrass pork plate was perfect with a fried egg and the fish sauce & salad. My fav was the pork banh mi - superrrr flavorful and filling. Food was overall on the sweeter side.

Mango Green tea + fresh lychee pieces
Maddy M.

My boyfriend and I used to frequent this location quite often, it was super convenient due to the distance to where we would meet after work and the food is really great. Recently we stopped coming here due to the staff refusing service or rushing guests as it gets close to their closing hour. I work in the service industry myself and know even the final sales before closing are pretty important to small businesses. Considering how many employees they have on the clock (always 3 in BOH and at least 3 in FOH) I'm sure labor needs to be made up for with some sales as it is never busy when we have dined in here. We always spend $50 minimum + tip generously, so this last visit we decided we would not bring this location our business. The last 3 visits felt very rushed and uncomfortable, we ended up asking for to-go containers every single time so we could finish our food outside in our car instead of enjoying the dine in experience during the final business hours. One of the cashiers told me they do not get paid if they are still there past the closing hour. This is illegal, so management should look into labor laws and provide staff with enough time after closing time, to complete the closing tasks. E.G: Business is closed to customers/no more sales at 8PM. Staff should be scheduled until 8:30-9PM, reasonable amount of time to close without dealing with orders or dine in customers. We really loved their pho but truthfully there is great Vietnamese food in other parts of Long Beach that is more authentic and that will make sure we feel welcomed and valued.

Spacedust and Stone IPA
Mellanie A.

123 Pho has definitely became one of my new favorite foodie spots recently! My boyfriend and I had a hankering for some pho and as I came across this joint on Yelp we decided to give it a shot! The ambiance was fortunately laidback for a Friday evening and ordering was quick and easy! Each customizable Pho bowl ranges at around 13.99 and you get to choose between thin or wide noodles, your 3 proteins of choice and your broth flavor. I decided to opt for thin noodles, double brisket & chicken, and chicken and beef broth. I also ordered an alcoholic strawberry slushie which was quite a creeper and tasted so good that you wouldn't even realize it contained alcohol upon consuming! Portions were generous as the pho bowls are HUGE! I enjoyed my bowl and I'd recommend to ask the servers for chili oil on the side as the tables only include sriracha and hoisin sauce. Besides our main dishes I also ordered the popcorn chicken and I loved every bite as well as the sauce it comes with. To finish off the meal we ordered a round of IPA's. Overall good service, great food, and great vibes! I'd definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for some yummy pho!

Obviously so good!

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.… Read more

Do they have any rice noodles?

The pho noodles and vermicelli noodles are rice noodles.

I also ordered a ginger shot since I've been feeling a little under the weather. For my two items it was $20, which is a little pricey however, you get what you pay for and I truly thought it was worth it considering the place itself was super cute, Customer Service is great and their bathroom was really clean, which I can always appreciate. As you know, Long Beach is known for terrible parking so park where you can park and walk if need be.

Here's to a well-deserved updated review to end the year…read more Since posting my first review for them, RightMealz has become family. Chris Sweeney has become a beacon for the local community (Long Beach and Los Angeles). He speaks up for many who have been through it within the past year, and never makes you feel like you're forgotten. Admittedly, sometimes I've avoided stopping in due to funds being tight and he's let myself and the community know he's here for us. I've volunteered with RightMealz during the fires that devastated the greater LA area. He was the one who put our city on the map first with multiple drives for necessities, and delivered with a uhaul regularly. Usually, I fiend for the avocado toast with a slightly runny egg because chef knows how to make it just right. I pair it with a lavender latte, or an iced Chai latte. Other times I'm checking the fridge for chef's turkey mushroom meatballs with cashew cheese. I do not like turkey or mushrooms... But that meal is cleverly made to make me eat both and want more. My SO loves the breakfast bowls in house. I'm a sucker for the open-air space. I take people to RightMealz for the food, ambiance, and for the hospitality. I shazaam Chris' songs playing from his random playlists. I'm forever a fan.
