I've been ordering delivery from this place, off and on, for the past few years and love it. The Phở Tái, Rare Steak Pho is the best. With all of the toppings it tastes amazing. I love ordering it on cold days, if I'm ever sick, etc.. Great Asian comfort food that is also affordable. We also love the Minced Chicken Lettuce Cups and Egg Rolls with Ground Chicken, really tasty. Take a bite of the rolls with a bit of fresh lettuce, cucumber & carrots when dipping. Highly recommend those. Any of the Bun Vermicelli or Com Steamed White Rice plates are good. Chow Fun with Beef, reminds me of Pad See Ew. Yum. The Thai Iced Tea is really good too & Vietnamese Coffee has a nice flavor I like. read more

I am a delivery driver and I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this location tonight at 7:45 PM. Their instructions clearly state: "AFTER 10:00 P.M, please pick up the order at back door." Since it was only 7:45 PM, I went to the front as I was supposed to. However, the front was completely closed, forcing me to go around to the back anyway. When I got to the back, the owner completely ignored me. I stood there waiting for over 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging my presence. A female employee who was there and who used to actually help drivers just ignored me and walked away. It is incredibly unprofessional to make drivers wait outside, especially when I was following their rules by coming to the front before 10 PM. If the front is going to be closed early, they need to communicate that, and they certainly shouldn't ignore the drivers standing at their back door. I would strongly advise other delivery drivers to avoid this location. Expect to be ignored, expect to wait, and expect zero communication. read more

This place ised to be great. And we've been getting the rare steak pho for about 6 years. Tonight I was not only shocked but yucked out. My rare steak consisted of alot of overcooked dark meat, fat, and cow tongue skin! This has NEVER been in my rare steak pho before, not to mention its not even listed in the ingredient list. Were never eating here again. Yuck! read more

Love this place. Haven't been in probably a year. Walked here to find the hours changed. But they have not on Google on Apple Maps on Yelp and so on. Bummer. Just asked Yelp to update so at least it is accurate on Yelp. There was a worker inside relaxing at the table on his phone, it was dark and clearly closed sadly at 4:30. Fortunately I only have to wait 30 mins and today I can do it, but would have sucked if not! read more

5iPho - New hours which I'm just now seeing! 9/23/24 - Vietnamese Near Me - Culver City, California

Food here is very very tasty. Service once you're inside is good. If you can ever get inside. Their hours of operating are always changing and are never updated on Google or Yelp. Right now they aren't open in the daytime. Sometimes they are closed on weekdays. Sometimes they are closed on weekends. Sometimes they aren't open at night. What will you get today? Hopefully pho and not a waste of your time. Get it together, y'all--your food is great but I can't give you money if you're never open. read more

I love their take-out options. It's so Easy to use the website. It accepts apple-pay and the website through Beyond Menu. When I pick-up my food, it's always hot & ready. Very quick service. I have seen the restaurant when it's busy and there are times it's completely empty. I have already order various dishes from them and never had a problem. They open late which is a bonus, because a lot of places in the area close early. Don't expect the fine-dining experience. It's a very small restaurant & parking can be limited because of the bar next door. Staff is very nice & friendly. It's pretty much enjoy the food and come-back again. read more

You know those restaurants in the middle of Michigan that are called "Oriental kitchen" and have chinese, korean, and japanese food, but also chicken nuggets. And the local white people eat it up? That's what this feels like, but the west LA version. The good: - The pho soup and noodles were good - The egg rolls were pretty good! The medium: - chicken wings were "standard" per by partner The bad: - service. Looks like it's a common issue but takeout took much longer than they said it would take. Probably took 20 minutes longer than they said it would, even our door dash driver was pissed. - see the photo of the "crispy tofu" salad. Hella over cooked, super hard and stale to chew, the fact that an establishment feels okay serving that level of mess up to someone that paid for that is wild. - The meat in the pho was TOUGH. My bf and I got different types of meat and both of them were really tough, like where you keep chewing forever and it balls up into a dry collection of meat that you can't swallow. Again, the low level of quality control is disheartening. Instead of a kind and homey family owned restaurant it feels like the greed to try to expand to different types of asian food resulted in poor management and delivery of goods. I love finding local small businesses like cafe brazil and plank 47 pizza and Fresh Pita Organic Express, but this isn't it. read more

The food was great and always has been. This family owned restaurant has been around for a very long time and has been through it all. Tasty, good service, we don't dine in as that's not the vibe of this place anymore. Give them a shot! read more

NIce people. Cooks food immediately. Fresh and tasty. Prefers cash. for 10$ you can get brown rice and veggy rolls. I'll come back.

I have been coming to 5i technically for years and I always found them to be consistent. I hadn't been in at least 4 years since I left the Culver City area. I was a bit shocked to find that the inside looked a little ran down and messy as they were using the front for storage. I got the impression they moved to pickup rather than dine-in over the years. The person who helped me was really nice and even though I took a bit longer to pick it up my noodles were warm and my spring rolls were not soggy. The spring rolls are a good size and the peanut sauce is the best I've tasted! I got the dry tom yum noodles and those were still as good as I remember. The leftovers lasted 3 days. The portions are good and they are consistent like I remember them be. read more

Take out was fast, easy and to the point. The food was hot even after driving all the way home. The salt and pepper chicken was great - probably the best part of this meal. The egg rolls were ok, great crispy crunch but not much for flavor or texture on the inside. They combined two orders into one dish but that was more of an inconvenience trying to portion out. The noodles we ordered had hardly any veggies in them and were heavily, if not over, drenched in sauce. Not too bad but nothing amazing. read more

Ordered pick up on DoorDash, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance. However, I ordered the Pho Tai and the Shrimp Spring Rolls Spring Rolls, 7.2 - too stuffed so it fell apart as you ate it, making a solid bite hard to get. There was a light citrus-type flavor I'm assuming from the mint, I could see some people really liking that part about it but it was not for me. The shrimp were great sized and tasted perfect. Peanut sauce, 8.5: almost exactly what I'm looking for in a peanut sauce. Creamy but easy to spread, very tasty. I don't feel there was enough sauce in the container and the flavor wasn't strong enough to use it sparingly Broth, 9,2: incredible. I took a step back and said wow that's good. I will add a bit of sriracha for more of a kick. But no notes really, just going to be hard to give anyone a perfect score read more

The price was greatly increased by the new owners. I got some fried rice to go. My grandson went, paid for the order, and picked it up. I was taken aback when he handed me the receipt. Each sachet of soy sauce cost me 75 cents. (I requested for three soy sauce packets). When I called the lady, she informed me that they had recently begun charging for soy sauce. For the past 9 years, I have been the customer. I'm not going there any longer. read more

Love this place for their lemon grass chicken (chicken com) and beef rice plate and their chicken pho! Great prices and great quality everytime. Just like a home cooked meal. Their hot and sour soup changed though. Now it's watered down, too sweet & not very spicy. Tastes like a lot of corn starch. read more

Today was the 3rd time that we've enjoyed 5i Pho at home, thanks to Grub Hub. We've ordered the same thing the last 3 times. - shrimp pho 5 Stars - chicken pho 4 Stars - curry veggie noodles 5 Stars - veggie egg rolls 4 Stars Today we added Orange Chicken. It gets 3 Stars. It was ok. Nothing memorable. Portions are good and sharing isn't a problem! The first time we ordered we got all the trimmings for our Pho. Second order, we were missing a bag of trimmings and the eel sauce (I think it's eel sauce) for the Pho. This order, we got everything. This is why I'm giving an overall score of 3 Stars. Consistently is key. The taste and quality is there but when you're missing the trimmings, my meal and taste buds suffer. Looking forward to trying new items. read more

This is the 3rd times that I has come back to 5i because I really love this restaurant Pho Vietnamese noodle. I would say it is the best that I can find in Culver City. I order beef Spring Roll for appetizer. I enjoy the texture of the combination of rice paper, noodle, lectures, beef especially dipping with the peanut sauce. It is really amazing. I forgot all of the stress of my day. I ordered spicy beef noodle (number 108) for my main dish and a bowl of beef tripe + tendon. I can tell it is the best Vietnamese beef noodle that I have been eating in LA. I can taste the quality of the beef ingredients is pretty outstanding. It is better than any Vietnamese beef noodle restaurant that I have tried in LA. I am amazed while I saw the beef tendons has been cut into small slice as a sashimi portion which flowing in the really tasty broth. The spicy favor just bring all the ingredients and texture to the next level. Sincerely, I rarely drink a lot of beef noddle broth in mostly Vietnamese restaurants in LA cos I don't feel comfortable about that. However, I surprised that I could eat that much and completely drink all the broth. It ended up with two empty large bowl. I transform my stressful day to a delightful one after the meal. Overall, I can tell the owner put passion, sincerity, love and care to what they do. They pay extra attention to small detail. In addition, when I look at the world, it can emphasize the Vietnamese culture the old days. I would come back again, recommend good friends to come to this restaurant for sure. read more

Favorite neighborhood Pho spot. I typically only get the pho, spring rolls, or the vermicelli plates. Highly recommend. Service is quick and they're reliable. read more

I've tried like 8 pho places in la and this is honestly my fave. Better than phorage, better than pho show, go get some PHO.

I LOVE 5i! Listen they expanded their menu a few years ago beyond the Vietnamese pho dishes and I think that was a mistake on their behalf as well as those who order. Don't go to a Vietnamese restaurant expecting their orange chicken to be amazing. But if you get the Pho and spring rolls you will not be disappointed. It's the best pho I've had in LA. I've gone dozens of times - they have had several chef changes through the pandemic so I can't say they have never had an off day. But generally always reliable and delish and affordable beef pho. read more

SUPPORT LOCAL! Absolutely wonderful place! Fantastic for locals to Sepulveda. We had a great mix of dishes; crab fried rice, shrimp lettuce cups, curry noodles, two types of pot stickers, shrimp salad, and Szechuan broccoli. LOTS of meat for the price! Great portions, very flavorful with lots of sauce. Friendly, accommodating staff that was thankful for our patronage. Will be ordering again soon! read more

I have tried about 7 or 8 different pho restaurants on the west side looking for a decent bowl. FINALLLY I found 5i, which has all the makings of a delicious bowl: - great broth - high quality meats, generous portions - generous portion of noodles - allllll of the toppings, no skimping out I have now eaten here more than 5 times, and quality is consistently good every time. Side note, they also make great spring rolls and the wings were tasty, too. Service is always speedy and polite. Each bowl is priced appropriately, no stupid westside prices. This is 100% my go-to spot after searching for several months. read more

AWFUL Service + undercooked meat. Do not order from this restaurant. When I called back asking why my meat was undercooked and that they'd completely missed my note of making it spicy (which they charged me an extra $3.50 for - god knows why), the person hung up the phone on me. They do not care about their customers and their food is severely undercooked. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

It was a very disapointing experience with this establishment.We ordered through grub hub for delivery. Ordered fried rice and some apperizers,while after confirming everything was charged for and ready to go. Immediately after I get contacted saying that they did not have chicken and were missing ingredients after I paid for the food I wanted. They gave me options that they could make and ended up in ordering the lettuce wrap instead. When the food arrived, it was the saddest and basic dish. I will not be ordering again. read more

Okay y'all. Hot take--they have the best pho on the west side. It's SO good... broth is fantastic... unlike... other establishments which have "pho" in the name and have very watery broth. This is the real deal. Great as take out too. I've been disappointed with a number of their other non-vietnamese dishes, but the quality of their pho is a shining beacon of deliciousness that overrides all of that and gives this place 5 stars. Thank you 5i. I'm so glad you're here. read more

While everyone flocks to Pho Show nearby, this little restaurant is also open late with no wait and some pretty great food and service! Loved the prices (most everything is $10 and under), large portions, tasty and fresh food and extremely warm and friendly service we experienced earlier this week when my partner and I dined late. I am a regular at Pho Show but have wanted to try 5i Pho for awhile since it is one of the few restaurants that shows up on a Yelp search as being open past 10 (it's open until 11pm). We arrived at 10:40pm and were surprised they would still serve us while most sit-down LA restaurants will tell you they only do to-go orders right before closing. What really stood out was how friendly our server and the staff were despite our being the last people in the restaurant. I'm used to being rushed but this was not the case. We ordered two noodle dishes (Saigon Vietnamese inspired noodles and Tom Yum Thai inspired noodles) which had huge portions and were delicious. Our server even came out with cut limes as she wanted to make sure our dishes were delicious. Both noodle dishes were only around $8 and we also ordered veggie spring rolls. The menu includes Vietnamese and Chinese food, and not so much Indonesian choices. They even have a few dim sum items, like shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and soup dumplings, which I will try in the future. I will definitely be back to try the pho noodle soup and their Chinese stir fry dishes. read more

We all know how great the food is here. I wanted to share that I came in, not long before closing, on New Year's Day, while most of my other favorite local spots were closed for the day... and was able to order from the menu (to go) and the staff was helpful unfriendly and didn't make me feel rushed whatsoever. I had already tried four other places. This place will definitely be one of my late night eats for years to come. :) read more

Little hole-the-Wall but BIG flavor. This place has great Pho, excellent Steamed BBQ buns, yummy shrimp spring rolls, delicious walnut shrimp, and one of the best Thai Iced Teas I've EVER had. The service is excellent, fast, thoughtful, and attentive. The parking is super easy, free, in this little strip mall. The shrimp lettuce cups were just ok. Not bad at all, but nothing to write home about, which is why I struggled to give it a 5. But overall I loved the visit and will be back! read more

The 5i Indochine Cuisine has been around for some time now. I've waited 9+ months to eat at this restaurant, because I wanted to wait for the operations to smooth out before giving it a try. I was really hoping that the pho was good, as there is no good Vietnamese pho restaurants in this neighborhood. We went in for a quick lunch on Labor Day. There are about 12-15 nice sized tables inside. At 12:30, we were one of two parties in the restaurant. By 1:00, the entire restaurant was almost full. I thought this was a good sign! We ordered two dishes: First dish was the Pho Thap Cam ($8.50 for a large bowl). The dish was well put together - a hearty portion of noodles, flank steak, tripe, tendon. It was served with a nice order of bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos, and limes. The biggest dissapointment to this dish was the broth. The broth was very dark brown, yet tasted very watery and bland. I did not taste like tru pho broth. Instead, it tasted like a Western version of a pork bone soup. Huge dissapointment, as the key to good pho is the broth. Grade: C The second dish was the Pho Tai ($8.50 for a large bowl). This dish is simple - pho noodles, broth, and we asked for the rare meat on the side. Here again, the broth (the main ingredient) was a dissapointment. Westernized and tasteless. We ordered a large bowl, but the noodles in this dish were literally 1/2 of the noodles that were in the other dish. I ended up having to re-distribute the portion of noodles between the bowls. It looks like they put a small bowl sized portion of noodles into the large order. Not fair. Grade: D- Maybe this was an off day? I'm willing to give it another try. Food Grade: C- Service Grade: C (I literally had to stand up to get what I needed after asking the waitress twice) Worth the money Grade: D Overall Impression: D+/C- read more
