#26. Vermicelli. Pork and eggroll.
Katelyn K.

My friends and I stopped by here for lunch on a weekday. It was busy during lunch hours. We managed to find one table outside after we ordered and paid at the counter. Staff will bring out food to your table. I ordered #26 pork and eggroll with vermicelli. My food took a while to come out, but my friend's food came out really fast. I noticed the vermicelli is hotter than usual. Other places I went to is usually room temperature. I ordered Thai iced tea to go after my meal. It was not very sweet. If you're in Pasadena, it's one of the options to go to but I rather go to other places for authentic flavors.

Ginger And Spice Noodle & Grill was recommended to me by my wonderful work colleagues. Thank you all! It is located in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Its specialty is homestyle Vietnamese dishes that includes Pho Noodle Soup, Bun Bo Hue, rice and vermicelli dishes with grilled meats, Banh Mi sandwiches, salads, assorted appetizers such as spring rolls, and various coffee and boba drinks. Everything is made to order which is a good thing, but wait time may be sacrificed. I came here one fine Tuesday afternoon for lunch. They weren't super busy at the time maybe a couple tables and a few take-out orders. Outside patio and inside seating are available. I did not notice a restroom though. I'll have to reconfirm next time. Anyway, I walked up to the counter to order. After ordering, I sat at one of the open tables of my choice. Only one lady staff was working at the front counter. Friendliness and service were okay. I didn't want to get soup since it was warm out so I went with the Grilled Chicken & Pork/Shrimp Eggrolls Vermicelli plus Thai Iced Tea no ice. Good amount of tender grilled chicken, but it needed more flavor. It was on the bland side. Three egg rolls were crispy and tasty, but more seasoning would have been better. Drink was good, but due to no ice, it lost one inch of tea. That is how it goes sometimes. My overall experience with staff, service, and food was decent. Wait time was a bit longer than expected though. I would love to come back one day and try their Pho Noodle and Banh Mi sandwiches. Thank you Ginger And Spice!

20. Pho Noodle Soup
Abigail G.

This very unassuming shop front disguises a quite delicious restaurant. I had the pho and it came out quickly and was just what I needed for my head cold. Take a look at the size of the bowl!

Being raised in Gardena, I love pho! I have a monthly event at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, so make an effort to come here on those days. I have been going here the past 5 months and it has been a great experience. I mean, it's pho. Order your food, wait, eat, done. Nothing fancy. Until this past time. First off, the pho is pretty good. As mentioned, this is my go-to pho stop when I am in Pasadena. Consistent American style (American style meaning basic meats of brisket, flank, meatballs, etc.. no tripe, tendon, etc.). Noodles were nice and chewy, broth flavorful. However, this past visit, a lady was working the POS system. Usually a man takes my order. This woman was not too friendly. Asked me what I wanted, told me to get my soda at the fridge. When the order came out to me, she did not give me my bean sprout plate, which I had to ask for, along w/ the small dish for sauce. Out of the last 5 times I've been, this one time seemed to lack the friendliness I took for granted, so I'm docking a star for that. It's a pho joint so I can't complain. The service I got this past trip is the normal south bay so why am I complaining? lol I guess it's because I was in Pasadena. I'll still come here. I hope to get the man next time I visit though.

Chicken pho
Aurora L.

Came back a second time to give their pho a go. I got the chicken pho, but really didn't find it that enjoyable. Hard to say what was missing for me. The eggrolls were also a bit of a turn off, they were on the burnt side and extra oily. I get that they're fried and all, but it tasted overdone. The service isn't over the top friendly, just to the point. I can't see myself returning, but can see that people will return for other reasons which is great just not for me.

The front porch
Alicia P.

Walked here for dinner one evening and was pleasantly surprised. The service was very friendly, they brought me my food outside after ordering at the counter inside and I enjoy my pho. Cute outdoor covered area to eat, but right on the street-side. The only reason for my loss of one star was that the flavor of all the things together wasn't quite as great as I've had with other bowls elsewhere. Something was missing but I can't quite place what. Just something not as good as I've had at other noodle bars. But I would come back!

Egg Rolls comes with just one piece of sad looking lettuce
Louis C.

Looking for a new Vietnamese place to try and saw this place has decent reviews. Unfortunately, it was quite a disappointment. The broth of noodle soups is the soul of the bowl. The bon bo hue's broth was completely void of any flavor. Even the ample amount of hoisin sauce and sirracha couldn't help. A typical BBH also come with a piece of pork trotter and some pig's blood jelly and sliced beef. Theirs came with just a few thin slices of beef. The egg rolls were highly recommended by the staff. They were decent. But strangely they were severed with just one small piece of lettuce instead of the typical compliments of bean sprouts, basil and mint leaves plus ample lettuce for wrapping. The bun (dry vermicelli bowl) came with an egg roll; but, it's not the same egg roll as the appetizer dish. It seemed like a cheap frozen ones with just mushy vegetable filling. Not sure how they receive those great reviews.

Beef brisket
Young Hwa C.

This is one of my go-to neighborhood pho spots. The broth is clean and flavorful, and I never feel heavy or sleepy after eating here. The drinks are a bit too sweet for my taste, and the service is just okay. Overall, it's a solid place when you're craving a good bowl of pho.

Jason Y.

Love Vietnamese food. I've been exploring dishes other than pho. Came across Bun Bo Hue and it's amazing. Spicy and savory. Not the best but it's still very good.

Inside
Kevin C.

Craving a banh mi for lunch and this spot did not disappoint! Walked in and rang the bell for service. No frills decor and pretty clean. Friendly and fast. I decided to eat inside and there were so many orders to go - so you know it's poppin. Next time I need to try their pho! I got the chicken banh mi and it was humungous! Came out hot and fresh. Generous with the chicken, had enough veggies to balance it, and the bread was crunchy with a soft inside. The main taste was the pickled veggies within which complimented the chicken. Did feel like it needed a little bit more of a seasoning element, so I did add sriracha all over. Overall it filled me up and I saved half as a leftover. Also, it comes with a bag of chips!

Fried Zucchini
Hanna Y.

It was my first time coming here and I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely a whole in the wall. You order from the counter and sit at any of the open tables. There are tables both inside and outside of the restaurant. I was surprised to see fried zucchini on the menu and decided to give it a try. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It also came with ranch. I also got the vermicelli with grilled pork and pork and shrimp egg rolls. I was surprised with the amount of food that was in the bowl. It was delicious and worth the price!

J C.

It's a nice little place for some homemade Vietnamese food. You will need to order first and find an available table to sit. They do have outside seating as well. Your food will arrive to your table. Overall, it's good.

Jonathan C.

I think there's a reason this place is so highly rated, it's because they are acrually good. Located right E Colorado Boulevard, it is a very unsuspecting place. But with one step into the store, the smell of rich savory broth that has been simmering hits your nose. This no frills place serves up some delicious pho with all the taste you can want. My go to is the beef or pork Bahn mi. The meat is always juicy and beautifully seasoned. You can see all the flavor from the meat on the bread as it glistens in the light but you know that you are about to eat something delicious. Althogh the bahn mi may not be similar to what you've had before and some may have some gripes with it, it is well worth it. Would recommend this place.

Do they still have the half sandwich and pho combo?

Is MSG used?

Hello May, we do not use MSG at our restaurant. Thansk for asking!

When will you be opening ? I miss your pho and spring rolls very much.

Hey Christine, thank you for your enthusiastic support! We have just re-opened M-Sat 11 to 9pm. You may check our facebook page for any other updates. Look forward to serving you again!

Amongst other things I got the salmon salad which is gorgeous and hard to photo because theres a LOT of salmon in it but it's under all the lovely parsley/veg. Salads can sometimes be a little boring or unsatisfying but I was literally going MM!! with every bite of theirs-- and I could only eat half before getting full, which astonished me because I can eat a lot! Lastly their pickles are SO GOOD. I ordered the pickled veggies not really knowing what they'd be or what amount but again, very substantial portion, great variety of veggies, crunchy, and super tasty brine, and once more, a familiar flavor but with a little something extra that makes it super tasty and special!

Our food took quite a while to arrive, close to 30 mins! But the staff was very apologetic and even brought us a complimentary muffin while we waited. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. I swapped the bacon for tofu, and it made for a satisfying breakfast. However, my husband wasn't as impressed with his brisket burrito, saying it was a bit dry. Based on this visit, I'd recommend sticking with the breakfast items, pastries, and of course, the coffee. Copa Vida still makes a great cup of coffee!
