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
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.

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.

The location itself is fairly small, and parking can be a little rough since it's in a popular area with limited metered parking. It's probably not somewhere I'd personally plan to sit and hang out for a while, but they do offer online pickup through DoorDash, and the service was quick (for reference, I went at around 8:45am on a Sunday). The employees were also friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What really stood out to me was the flavor! The drinks are rich, flavorful, and really well-balanced. It's not bitter, overly sweet, or too plain. Everything we tried tasted consistent and intentional. The prices are a little on the higher side, but based on the quality, I think it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, the matcha, or even to just try something new on the menu!

This review, however, is motivated out of my desire to offer major props to the young man - I think I overheard something like Sip? - working this morning. This guy was on his A game, multitasking and juggling multiple tasks with perceived ease and being pleasant and accommodating all at the same time. Great job! Your effort is noticed and appreciated. Thanks for that. Had it not been for this (and their delicious pastries), I'd give Cyclops a 3 - 4 stars because I have a real bone to pick with paying for a larger Americano and getting the same number of shots regardless. I don't like when businesses do that so that would have otherwise been a major ding for me.

Usually my go-to stop in Long Beach for coffee because it's super convenient to get to, but parking can be tough!

I saw Tierra Mia was open late so I decided to check it out. The service was good. There was a full crew of young ladies and they were all very welcoming and doing an outstanding job. This place is always busy but the employees work hard and efficient. The place is very old-school and gives the perfect Latin vibes.

The place was packed inside and outside. The drive-thru was backed out to the street, I guess that tells you how good it is. I know they have tons of locations now so if you've been like me and have yet to try them... try them! Enjoy :) SYoY!
