    Tofu banh me
    Sophie D.

    Super low key spot on 4th. The place is super clean, minimally designed but cute. Street parking but it's not bad even around 5pm on a weekday. The service was great. Our server was very kind and the food came out quick. That's not expected and it's a huge plus. Tofu banh mi is fire. Boyfriend rated his beef pho 9/10. Egg rolls were soooo good, especially wrapped in lettuce with the pickled carrots and daikon Happy hour was all day on a Monday, $4 Sapporo's and beer and wine Overall an underrated spot in LB that is going to be in regular rotation from here on.

    #9Pho is an excellent reminder to never judge a book by it's cover. Although I would describe the storefront as quaint, the food and service are A1 and exceeded all expectations. I ordered a Grilled Chicken and Rice Bowl ($8.99) with added mushrooms ($2.50). The order total was $12.67 including tax, which felt like a steal for the flavor-packed meal they served. Not only was the portion size enough for two meals, but it came within 5 minutes of ordering and was freakin delish. The energy inside #9 was peaceful, with a surprisingly spacious interior with booth, table, and bar seating. I would recommend #9 for lunch or a casual date night. Overall, I had a very positive experience and look forward to returning to one of my new favorite spots in Long Beach.

    Rare beef and brisket pho
    Chad K.

    Some of the best Pho in Long Beach, and definitely the best vegan pho. This is the only Pho that my wife will save the broth and heat it up the next day with more noodles and veggies. Every other place she is happy to toss it, so hats off to amazing veggie broth. The spring rolls here are awesome as well, they have both regular with shrimp and vegan spring rolls. I normally get the rare brisket Pho but I recently tried the curry pho option and that one was quite good as well. The banh mi sandwiches were just ok. I wish the bread was better and crispier on the edges rather than soft, so I stick to the pho. Also, I really wish they used ceramic bowls instead of the paper ones. It must make sense financially, but it just seems wasteful and I prefer the feeling of eating out of real dishes. Other than those things, it is really solid and the best vegetarian Pho broth in Long Beach imo.

    The camera did not eat first here LOL beef bowl

    WOW really enjoyed my visit here ! I was doing laundry next door was starving & decided to check it out . Super clean and very nice looking inside , aesthetic on point ! The fellas in here were super nice ! Definitely enjoyed the service here . I went with the veggies egg rolls , the beef bowl , & the fellas were nice to mix some Thai tea & Vietnamese coffee for my drink . YUM , loved that they explained how to eat the egg rolls , have always enjoyed this style of egg rolls for the extras making a little egg roll taco. OMG the beef bowl was amazing ! Super tasty & ugh i loved the onions ! I think this a moat check out spot ! Will forsure be back . Regarding the parking I'm pretty super it's a bit scarce as it's on 4th street , I had parking in the laundry since I was there.

    Lemongrass beef rice bowl for dinner
    Nicolas J.

    One of the best local gems of Long Beach. There's a few spots I frequent and this is one of them. Closed on Tuesday's so it's probably the only day I don't dine here lol. Legit worth a try and a detour for good and unique eats

    Finally found a tasty pho place near the house. The ambiance is pretty chill and simple. Their place is very green and by that I mean they use things that are recyclable, even the bowl, to the spoon. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable as well as attentive. This was the first time that I nearly finished the broth in my pho, I usually don't but this one hit the spot. The shrimps spring roll was okay.

    Amazing Vietnamese place for comfort food, come with me! Highlights of the menu: 1. Banh mi - Vietnamese sandwich with BBQ pork 2. Lemongrass beef rice bowl 3. Grilled chicken rice bowl 4. Lychee jasmine iced tea So many good choices for Vietnamese food! I come here to pick up food a lot for me and friends and everyone loves it! Quick service and casual ambiance. Yummy Vietnamese food is the best comfort food in this weather!

    I absolutely love this hidden gem pho spot in Long Beach! My roommate and I can't stop coming here to get their pho and a side of spring rolls. It's different from your traditional authentic Vietnamese pho, but it's great regardless. They have beer, wine, and even coconuts with fresh coconut water! The inside of the restaurant is very clean/modern and has the perfect amount of dining space to come in a group. Owner Vahe is very friendly and answers all your questions about the food. He's doing it all in the restaurant, working the counter and kitchen and bringing out the food for inside dining! For the food, my go-to is the rare steak and brisket. They give large portions of meat, and it is tender! We also enjoy the spring rolls; you have to get them!

    Rare Steak and Brisket Pho
    Gustavo E.

    I came by on a cold Saturday evening here because I was in the area and saw this was one of the few places that sells pho. I was pretty torn between ordering soup or a sandwich. I don't usually order sandwiches at pho places, but I was really tempted to here because the photos people had posted of them looked really good! I ended up ordering their Rare steak and Brisket Pho, which I found to be good. Not great or fantastic, but still good. It was a perfect portion as when I finished, I was left quite satisfied. I also noticed it has a good ratio of noodles to meat and that the broth they use is different from the other pho places i have been to. I believe it was some kind of beef broth. I also want to point out that I didn't have to wait that long for my food either. It could have been because when I came in, I was the only person in the restaurant. It took about 10 minutes for it to come to the table. The workers were also really nice and welcoming to me. They brought me all the things I needed before my soup got to the table. One thing I didn't really like was the parking situation. I immediately noticed how the parking situation was very limited here. I drove around looking for a place to park for maybe 5-10 minutes. I ended up having to park in the laundromat parking lot next door, hoping my car wouldn't get towed. Aside from that, it was a good experience here. I would come back to try the sandwiches maybe but not the soup again, unless I was freezing my butt off and really wanted some lol.

    Lemon grass beef bánh mí
    Paulette D.

    This place was surprisingly good! We got the crispy vegetarian rolls, the chicken rice bowl, and the lemon grass beef bánh mí sandwich. The vegetarian rolls were good. It came with the typical dipping sauce and tons of stuff to add if you wrap your roll in the lettuce. My only con is that it was $10 and I feel like for an appetizer it should have been less, especially considering the main dishes like the bánh mí and bowls are $14 or $15. My friend got the chicken bowl so not much for me to review, but she only had good things to say about it. I got the bánh mí and omg that was so freakin good. The sauce was AMAZING!! It was the best thing about the sandwich because it was such a surprise when you first bite into the sandwich. The meat was great too like everything in the sandwich. It was a lot to eat so i saved half of my sandwich for dinner and it was still delicious haha. I'm Tip: There's only street parking so be wary of that (there's a neighborhood to parallel park at).

The staff seemed very short-handed -- only three people working on a busy day. The kids were clearly trying their best (the daughter especially was multitasking hard) but they looked exhausted and the son came out in casual clothes and sandals like he'd just rolled out of bed. The dad had very poor customer service and seemed checked out, which made the whole experience feel unwelcoming. There were awkward moments when he took our orders. The biggest issue was the soup itself. It didn't taste like traditional pho -- something was off with the broth -- and unfortunately none of us could finish our bowls. We didn't say anything because we could see they were struggling. I hope this family can get proper staffing, train on customer service, and improve the kitchen consistency. With some adjustments, this place could really thrive. Right now though, I probably won't be returning

I still haven't been able to try an good spot in Long Beach in 2025 but this spot was so authentic and a definition of a hole in a wall. I would definitely return back. Upon arriving, we got there a little close near closing but thankfully they were able to sit us. Looking at the prices, it's such a good deal at $12 for a regular and $14 for a large bowl. With prices of food now, this isn't bad at all. I got the large #2 Pho Tai, Rare steak. It was a big portion and the broth was perfect. Parking here is very tough, it's in a small lot but you can find parking in the residential area.

You can get bottled water for 1.00; however, water with ice and cups is provided gratis. Overall, a great place just not as authentic as some other Viatnamese restaurants but I still enjoyed it.
