Love Pho, and this is a great spot here in Northridge. Been here many times and started a review…read moreand realized I never finished it. The restaurant itself has a lot of seating, all inside, nothing outdoor at this location. Inside is clean and practical. It does have a beautiful painted mural along the entire wall which I don't believe was there before, but whomever did it, did an excellent job, pretty cool. The staff is super friendly, the food comes out fast and they come around often making sure we had everything we need and keeping drinks full. Places that keep my drink full are places with great service typically. I almost always get one of the Pho soups, but tonight I decided to get their Cornish Game Hen with veggies and rice, a chef's special. It was very, very tasty. The hen was done with a really crisp outside and super tender inside. I added jalapeños and cilantro as well. Excellent choice. My wife got her vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls with fish sauce on the side. This is also an excellent tasting dish and I would recommend either of these as well as the Pho here and pretty much everything here tastes amazing. Unfortunately, I did not get shots of the menu. They are located at the corner of Nordhoff and Reseda. Large parking lot with plenty of parking. Enjoy!

Together with, pate, julienned cucumbers, carrots, jalapeño and other ingredients inside a split baguette is a joy to savor. Especially, if the baguette is well toasted to have a crisp but soft exterior that gives you a good crunch and a bite, at the same time. Saigon Brothers has never disappointed in this department. Their Banh Mi is a superbly freshly assembled preparation. They take good care of you while you wait for your order to be prepared. Always providing dependable, friendly and customer oriented service.

This restaurant always hits the spot just right…read more The pho is always consistently good. The size of the bowl is great. The amount of meat to pho ratio is perfect, so perfect that every bite should be meat with the pho. The broth in the pho is always good. The other items on the menu are consistently good as well. Typically I'll order two different items so I can have some variety. For instance, get a Nobel of pho and a rice dish called com tam, with grilled pork and egg cake, add extras that you desire like grilled shrimp, or shrimp cake, or grilled beef.

Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by serious lapses in food handling and…read moreprofessionalism. Not once--but twice--there was dirty lettuce on the egg roll plate. When I respectfully brought this to the attention of the employee, the response was dismissive: a shoulder shrug, followed by walking away. Moments later, the same employee was standing in clear view in the back, laughing with another staff member instead of addressing the issue. While I can appreciate a flavorful broth and moments of good execution, standards matter--especially behind the scenes. There is always a backstory to restaurants and kitchens, and this was mine. What happens out of sight of customers is just as important as what arrives at the table. Cleanliness, accountability, and respect should never be optional.

Upon walking in, we were greeted with friendly faces We were quickly seated, and had our order taken. We both placed an order for a number 18 which is chicken and chicken broth. The broth was tasty, the chicken was soft, and the noodles were perfect. The bowl was a 10/10. The service was insane because we placed our order and we got our pho is less than 5 minutes, lol. Overall, I was greatly surprised with their service and cleanliness for being as busy as they were for dinner time. I will be back!

I been to this place before but only got to go, I got their bun MI and spring rolls. This time since I was here, I decided to get their pho. I got the #1 pho which is the combination beef pho. I was the only one in the restaurant so I had the place all to myself and got to pick where I wanted to sit. The lady working was very nice and ate attentive to me. My pho came out quick and I finish it quick, my waitress even said "don't already" lol. It's a decent size bowl with a good amount of beef in the pho and noodles. The price is more on the higher end but I think it's because it's in this plaza and they have to compete with other business. This probably won't be my go to pho place but I had a good experience

If you're thinking about dining at any of the numerous copy-pasted, plastic-laden, mass-manufactured meal franchises in the Porter Ranch area, think again.

The place itself is not that big, maybe 8 tables throughout? They looked short staffed because the person cleaning up the tables was also the person taking the orders and bringing the food, while it seemed like only one person was working in the kitchen. Nonetheless, service was good and the wait was worth the quality. They've got some other viet staples like banh beo and banh xeo which I have to try at a later time. We ended up getting the fried calamari as an appetizer and it was surprisingly good like Italian restaurant quality, and of course eggrolls. The eggrolls were fresh and crispy and I appreciated that they actually give you a lot of lettuce and herbs to wrap with them. For the mains we got the bun cha Hanoi and bun thit nuong. I think without the appetizers the portion sizes were a little smaller than I would've hoped for but the taste of both were good. This place is a quaint, little hole in the wall with quality, authentic Vietnamese food that exceeds expectations.

Their banh beo was good, but slightly more chewy/gummy than I'm used to - I would try something else next time. All that food ran us $75 before tip, and we took home leftovers!! Ambiance is modest and casual, with only a couple people working in the restaurant so expect a slower but no less friendly and attentive meal. I'll be coming back to try more of their menu. Love having a place like this in the valley where I know I can get some good banh xèo and unique Viet dishes apart from pho.

These are the Egg Rolls that I want as part of my Last Meal. No joke. Granted they've gotten…read moresmaller (thinner) over the years. Alas, "shrinkflation". The fact that you get 5 is still nice. Whenever I'm in Reseda, it's really only to go here. Trust me, it's worth the trip since this is my "go-to" Vietnamese restaurant for 23+ years. Appetizers: Egg Rolls - 9.8 / 10 Quite possibly the crispiest, crunchiest egg rolls literally anywhere on the face of this planet. These are the egg rolls by which any other egg rolls that I eat is measured by. Granted my "Filipino Card" could be revoked for saying this, but if I had to choose between these Vietnamese variants over my heritage's Lumpiang Shanghai , I would have to go with the former. Soup / Pho: #9 Pho Ga - 8.5 / 10 I usually order rare steak pho myself, but since the person whom I always go with orders this, we just split a large rather, she's nice enough to me 1/3 of her generous large. I appreciate the simplicity. A pure, clean, chicken consommé with thick, juicy slices of chicken breast. I really only ever eat chicken soup when I'm sick, but I will gladly make an exception for pho ga. Entrée: #43 Bún Nem Nu'óng Thit Nu'óng (Heo Hoac Bò) (Charbroiled Pork or Beef, Grilled Pork Ball with Vermicelli Noodles & Vegetables) - 8.9 / 10 Hot take: when I usually get Vietnamese food, I don't get Pho unless it's raining (I know, I'm weird with this weather / temperature psychological thing). That said, the #43 hits the spot every time. Do yourself a favor & get this with beef (you can choose between charbroiled beef or pork). The (sliced) pork meatball is like a nicer, meatier spam. Throw that on some chilled rice noodles & round that off with some sliced vegetables (cucumber, carrots, daikon radish) & you've got a nice variety of flavors + textures. Bonus points for always getting directly seated as soon as you walk in. Looking back, I'm glad that one of my sister's former boyfriends introduced her to this place back in 2003. One of L.A.'s best kept secrets.

Big plus: huge FREE parking lot in the back I came in around 8ish PM. The place was busy, but my order came out in a reasonable amount of time. The pho broth was very flavorful (I eat my pho as-is), though I really wish it was piping hot. They use the egg roll wrappers I prefer, so that was a win. I also ordered the combination fried rice to-go--portion size was decent, but flavor-wise it was nothing exciting. Service was just meh. I've definitely had better service at their other locations, which was a bit disappointing. Overall: flavorful pho, good egg rolls--but I probably won't be back to this location because of the service. Good thing it's a chain; there are other spots to support.

Given there has been growth of vegan-vegetarian restaurants, I would support other and newer restaurants instead.
