Sugar cane specialty drink
Michelle J.

Great service. Quiet place. Perfect to relax during lunch. I had honey walnut shrimp. A little different from what I'm used to but it was good. There were so many things I'd like to try but would need to come with a group so I can "share".

Beef brisket and Chicken Pho
Monique E.

Once coming in we are greeted with open arms and choose were we want to sit. The food is amazing everything is homemade and on the spot. They also have coffee, teas, boba and different types of soupThe employees are super nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. The prices are very affordable. I would come again this is my favorite pho place in the 626 area.

I've been coming here since I was a little kid, and I swear by it to this day. It's truly one of the best hidden gems and pho spots you'll ever try! Coming from a traditional Vietnamese family, I can say the pho here tastes incredibly authentic as it's rich, has flavorful broth, solid portions, and great prices. Beyond the pho, they have a wide range of dishes from rice plates to spring rolls and vermicelli noodles, plus a great selection of drinks. My family and I come here almost every week, and the staff is always super friendly, attentive, and quick on their feet. The interior is consistently clean, and you can tell the team works hard to keep everything running smoothly. If you're looking for delicious, traditional Vietnamese comfort food, this spot never misses!

Menu (Appetizers)

I ordered the Pho Dac Biet ($14.99). That's the House Special Pho with Ribeye Steak, Brisket, Tendon, Flank, and Beef Ball. When I bit into its meat, my eyes widened. It's extremely tender and fresh! I stared at my pho in amazement before promptly devouring it. There's integrity at 626 Pho (Baldwin Park). I arrived at 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) on Monday (around 7PM). Its plaza had plenty of parking. The location is unassuming, but I felt somewhat taken aback at its high popularity. 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) had nonstop customers for to-go and dine-in. Staff is courteous. Their interaction is minimal; however, staff efficiently guided me to a seat. A friendly male staff member had eventually noticed me, and he took my order. I ordered the #17 Pho Dac Biet ($14.99). The food arrived in eight minutes and four seconds. As alluded to, I happily enjoyed my #17 Pho Dac Biet ($14.99). This pho is unique. I felt myself blink in shock as its meat fell apart in my mouth. These felt like fresh cuts from a good Korean BBQ. Next, its noodles arrived hot, hefty, & springy. And its broth tasted light, clean, and gentle. I felt my happiness surge exponentially with each bite. "IT'S SO DELICIOUS!" I'd scream! Regarding ambiance, 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) is clean, spacious, and well-ventilated. There were many shiny tables. Customers wore very casual clothing (one even wore pajamas), and many dine-in customers appeared to be locals. 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) had two flat screen TVs. One played the news on mute (with no english captions or subtitles) which was unhelpful. Another played music but it had intermittent commercial ads. This location favors functionality; it's not upscale. If I had to nitpick, its mirror even had a somewhat eery smudgy look. Regardless, the location is clean and welcoming. Overall, 626 Pho (Baldwin Park) is one of my top pho locations in SGV. Its unassuming and almost generic appearance makes its fresh & high-quality pho that more bewildering. This hidden local gem is popular for a good reason. It's a must-try! 5 out of 5. GO!!!

Spring rolls
Jared R.

Came here on a rainy day wanting to warm up with some pho. Immediately we were seated and left with some menus. Looked over it a few minutes then they came to check if we were ready. We ended up ordering some springs rolls, beef bahn mi, and. Ribeye and brisket pho. Everything came out in a timely manner. Food was great, everything was so refreshing. Nice hot broth, fresh and crisp veggies. They also kept refilling our waters. Service was spot on! Definitely a good spot for comfort food. The inside was also clean and organized. Lots of seating available. Would 10/10 recommend

Dinner with the fam, brought them to try Pho for the first time!
Alejandra M.

Brought my family here to try pho for the first time! I've had pho before but this was my first time at this restaurant. I chose this place since it is located across the street from us so it was convenient. We (party of 6) showed up about 20min before closing time, we were welcomed and sat down right away. Although it was soon closing time, not once did we feel rushed or pressured. The staff was very attentive and helpful when it came to ordering our food and drinks which was very nice of them. Everyone ended up ordering pho along with cream cheese filled ragoons and it was all delicious! Everything seemed fresh and made to order. We will definitely be coming back again soon. If you're looking for a good pho place, this is the one.

Shaken beef
Angeli P.

Good pho. Food was pretty straight forward. Pho was good, shaken beef was flavored well with lots of onions, and egg rolls came out fresh from the fryer. The staff were very nice. Seating is at a table or booth. The space is child friendly. Parking is inside a plaza. Saturdays around 12 pm was very busy.

veggie pho
Ashley D.

Service was nice and overall fast but it was not the most flavorful veggie pho that i've had and def not the best pho within the sgv.

Kit T.

Good food; quick service. I think l've been here at least 3x . I would like to try their drinks next time. The shrimp was not bad but it needs to be fried more. The filet mignon is good but not as juicy like other places. However, it gets a passing grade on my report card

Rare Ribeye Steak & Brisket Pho, Rare Ribeye Steak & Beef Ball Pho
Ivy C.

Rating: 7.8/10 Solid, clean, no-frills pho place. We actually drove about 20 minutes to come here specially since 626 Pho was rated highly on Yelp. I'm on the search for my favorite pho place in the 626! We came around 6PM on a Saturday night. There were about 5 groups dining it, not busy at all and we got to choose where we sat. The service was quick and efficient. We ordered and received our food within 5 minutes of ordering. Bf got pho #21 with rare steak and brisket, and I got #22 with rare steak and beef balls. The soup is moderately rich and savory, not overly oily. Clean and hot broth. Noodles are slightly thinner than I prefer and were also clumped together when we first got our food. I prefer mine a little on the al dente or less cooked side as well. However, the food hit the pho craving I had, especially on a cold windy night. Overall, a very solid bowl of pho but not the best I've ever had for my personal taste. I probably wouldn't make the drive to come here, but I could see myself coming if I were in the area! I recommend you come try 626 Pho if you're around!

I personally love their spicy wonton soup, but I've also tried the regular soup and the broth is amazing either way. I just prefer the spicier version. It's hard to really say what you should order here, I personally like the spicy wonton soup, but every single one of their appetizers that I have tried are amazing, unfortunately, I haven't tried too many of their main dishes as I tend to be a creature of habit, but I'm sure just like with all the appetizers that I've tried everything you order here will come out amazing. Anytime it's cold or starts to rain, this is my go to spot for a nice warm soup

We've been here a few times and the dongpu fatty pork meat with buns is always a go to.

Service is great and the staff are friendly, they only interact with us when we make eye contact which is fine since the establishment is rather small so you don't have to stare across a large open area to try to get someone's attention.

However, if you want to try something a little different, there are some "traditional" Kaiping specialties that I haven't seen on menus anywhere else. I've always come with my family and have received great service because my dad knows the staff. They speak my home dialect so I'm sure there's some bias there. Foodwise, I've tried quite a bit and haven't had any dishes that didn't hit the mark for me. Standouts for me are the big claypot yellow eel rice, their specialty roast goose (the 2 dishes just listed may require a preorder but again, my dad usually handles all the ordering), their beansprout with pig intestine, and their egg plant with salted fish. The claypot rice is ordered by the kilo so really is a big party dish but has nice succulent pieces of eel, really well cooked rice, and then of course the crispy rice at the bottom. The goose is very flavorful and not super gamey, it has more of a meaty texture and bite than the younger poultry an American pallette may be used to so word of warning. I really like the beansprout with pig intestine, again not really gamey but very savory with very tender, fatty pieces of intestine (highly recommend even if you're hesitant with intestine). The eggplant with salted fish is also intensely savory with a pungency from the salted fish that may seem like a lot but melds really well with the sauce and overall flavor of the dish. Though I haven't tried every dish on their menu, I've tried quite a bit and can confidently say they'll bring out some tasty Chinese dishes.

When walk in, there is enough tables on the side to sit down but the service is always warm and nice. I also like to order the house special (soup) style dumplings that are pork filled even though I generally don't eat pork, these dumplings are ground pork and delish and what you would want in a juicy dumpling. The dumpling soup 7/10 I'm not much of a Szechuan flavor girl. I do like it but I don't like it being drenched in it so much. Basically, watch out for the numbness and spiciness in this dish, although the lady taking my order did try to forewarn me by asking for my spice levels before hand. (: otherwise, great choices and great fix for Chinese cuisine! I always seem to order to go so I don't have any pics to attach to this review, but I hope to return soon to update my review.

This place is one of my families favorite local spot. What I really appreciate about the restaurant…read moreis how diverse the clients are and the staff. It really goes to show how the surrounding community that has a balance of different ethnic group comes to appreciation the good flavor and quality of this Chinese cuisine. The services here are very friendly and attentive. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you come in an hour before they close they will let you know that in advance. I think the intent is so you order fast and don't linger. Not a negative for me since my family usually is pretty quick about eating and going. They are also pretty good with customizing their ingredients. My wife is gluten free so we would ask that they not add in soy sauce or oyster sauce in some of the dishes that we know can still work without those two ingredients. You would need to know how to customize it yourself as I don't think they would know what to do if you simply say no gluten. Overall, I really don't have anything negative to say about this place. We walk in hungry and happy and we come out full and satisfied.

She always orders the Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce, which she absolutely loves and talks about every visit. This time, I went with the Kung Pao Three Delights, which was solid and flavorful. My only real complaint was the fried rice. It wasn't like any fried rice I've had before--it seemed more like plain rice mixed with soy sauce and just didn't do much for me. Definitely not something I'd order again. That said, my mom would probably give this place 5 stars based on her favorite dish alone. While my experience wasn't quite at that level, the entrée itself was still enjoyable. Overall, I'd return and would recommend.

There's plenty to walk around in the plaza (desserts, pastries, açaí bowls) while you're waiting and even a fountain. Once seated everything moves relatively fast. The menu is extensive, food comes out quickly and fresh, and workers are attentive even though you order through a tablet and it's super busy inside. Food is stellar and of value (6 XLB for $8!), portion sizes are good, and everything is piping hot! The soup dumplings have soo much soup IMO beating out Mama Lu's which is what I would consider to be their nearest competitor. The spicy shrimp wontons are also good, but I think the flavors don't quite hit as well - big pieces of shrimp are enclosed though! The Peppered Beef Udon was great the beef pieces were tender and juicy and great textured noodles. Onion pancakes are a staple along w/cucumber salad (not pictured) , and their pan fried pot stickers are my favorite along with the sauce it comes with. Sooo crispy. Pro tip: If you are a first timer/came from far and waited a while don't let them seat you at the bar the experience is not as nice by far (I saw someone say it's like paying to stare at a wall - I concur) Being seated at a booth or table will allow you the full experience but I do understand there's only a limited amount of room in the bustling place.
