    Bun Tom Thit Nuong/Vermicelli with Pork & Shrimp; Nuoc Cham sweetened, diluted fish sauce
    Gary I.

    Good Pho You: Another word play on Pho like Phobulous, Photastic, etc. The word 'pho' is believed to originate from the French word "feu", meaning fire, which is related to the French dish pot-au-feu, a beef stew, since the French colonized Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos for about 100 years. Pho is pronounced closer to (fuh). Good Pho You in a typical stripmall is strictly a down home dive in an unlikely part of the San Fernando Valley. However, Good Pho You was unexpectedly OK. Some of the flavours and preparations in the Bun Tom Thit Nuong rang close to what you would expect in Little Saigon, Orange County. 1) Cha Gio: Bite sized fried thin, crispy rice paper surrounding shrimp. crab, mung beans, jicama, mushroom, taro on a lettuce leaf. House sauce seems to be soy sauce with a touch of Nuoc Cham which is Vietnamese fish sauce mellowed with sugar, vinegar, lime juice, water. Unfortunately, the Cha Gio was fried under high heat for too long to the point the inside ingredients were a dark, hard, dry mass so it was hard to determine the ingredients listed above. I wish the owner would taste the Cha Gio at Golden Deli in San Gabriel to experience exemplary Cha Gio. 2) Bun Tom Thit Nuong/Vermicelli with Pork & Shrimp: Bun refers to the thin, soft, rice based vermicelli pasta. Vermicelli meaning little worms in Italian. Nuong refers to grilling. Tom is shrimp. Thit means meat but often is pork. Shreds of green leaf lettuce, bean sprouts, julienned cucumber & carrots. Well done slices of pork. Four shrimp on a stick also grilled well done which hardened and dried out the shrimp. Still, it retained a sweet meatiness. Nuoc Cham sauce had a good Umami and provided the major flavour back up to all the other components. Add Sriracha garlic chile and/or the plainer chile purée to add piquant, earthy gastrique. This dish could be in the running in Little Saigon. Vietnamese Ice Tea was more astringent & tannic with toasty floral notes than standard American flavourless orange pekoe tea. It was a good palate cleanser between bites. It's tough to find good Vietnamese in the SFV. The big exception being Valley Sandwiches which has broad competency beyond Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches, but the big drawback is that it's take out only. So Good Pho You by default gets a 4- stars. Still a decent 3 stars if compared to Little Saigon, Orange County.

    Good Pho You has completely ruined all other pho for me -- in the best way possible. The broth is unreal -- rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered with care. Every spoonful feels comforting and balanced, not too salty, not too oily -- just perfect. The noodles are always fresh, and the meat is tender and melts in your mouth. You can tell they put love into every bowl. It's that kind of spot where you can taste the authenticity and passion behind the food. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Whether it's a rainy day, a hangover cure, or just because -- I find myself craving their pho all the time. Seriously, if you haven't tried Good Pho You yet, go now. You'll understand why everyone who eats here ends up obsessed.

    This will always be on my favorite pho spots in the valley! The service is great and always quick and the staff is friendly. There's never really a long wait for a party of two, usually getting seated right away. The #2 and #3 are our go to's. We also love their eggs rolls, they're crunchy and filled with flavor. They also have a boba bar with lots of flavors and toppings to choose from. The parking lot itself is very small, but they're is additional parking behind the building.

    I haven't been here in years, was craving some pho late at night and this was the spot that was open. I ordered the little tai or Thai which was there pho with thin slices of steak. It was actually pretty good, I wouldn't say it's the best one in the valley but it definitely satisfied my late night cravings for pho. The service was amazing, I forgot her name but she was very attentive and a hard worker which is always appreciated and I hope she knows it. The indoor dining area is nice as well, can accommodate a good amount of people. I would say definitely try this place if you haven't already

    You can try,i lik it,rice is good ,egg rolls too,about pho it's not bad i tried with meat balls

    Yes you can be allergic to white onion and not green. Disgusting restaurant.
    Lindsey W.

    Wow don't go here if you have an onion allergy. They don't listen to customer notes, and do the exact opposite of what you asked for. They were completely hidden under the noodles as well so I did not see them until I had eaten some. I broke out with a reaction and became ill. Absolutely appalling.

    The food here is so gooddd!! 'Ive tired the fried rice chicken and shrimp 10/10. I've tired the egg rolls and the pork dumplings 10/10 and the boba also 10/10! The service also 10/10, they have really nice employees

    Katherine W.

    This place has its strengths and weaknesses. While the parking can be limited, the servers are incredibly kind. The pho is a bit overpriced for its size, the broth just doesn'thave that depth of flavor. The egg rolls seem a bit pricey at $11.95. Perhaps they could offer more competitive pricing to match the quality/ quantity of their food.

Unfortunately, almost nothing hit the mark! The pork chop was completely dry! My son took one bit and wouldn't touch it again, and my mother had to force herself to eat half hers. Even the pickled radish, my daughter's favorite, and carrots were off! They were watery with zero vinegar flavor. My daughter spit them out! Every single bowl of broth tasted sour and awful. The noodles also tasted old and stale. The only salvageable part was the meat, so we just ate the protein because we were starving. Though, the meat was flavorful, the texture was tough and a little chewy. When my mom paid for the check, my husband politely mentioned to our server that the broth tasted sour, just as a heads up in case other customers complained. The server spoke with the kitchen and kindly refunded a portion of the phos back to my mom's cc, which was appreciated. If you looked at our table when we left, it looked as though we barely touched our meal. In our haste, we should have just returned the porkchop, too. After posting about our disappointment on IG, four other people chimed in agreeing that it was the worst pho they've had, too (all four are Asian decent, two being Viet themselves). We definitely won't be back.

The Banh Xeo had a very light and crisp shell and was not too greasy. This was the largest one that we have had at any restaurant. My mother in law, who is tiny, ate the whole thing. It was that good! We don't see Bun Cha Ha Noi at many places so we had to order it. Another tasty dish! We loved everything here. Even though the place does not have A/C, we didn't mind at all! The large fan kept it comfortable. The server was very nice, one of the owners, who spoke better English was a pleasure to talk to as we asked her a lot of questions about the restaurant as it was our first time there. The chef is from Vietnam and she works alone in the kitchen so your patience may be needed. There was one other family who was dining in with us and a bunch of takeout orders. This is one our favorite Vietnamese spots now. Please give them a try so we keep this place around for many years to come!

Pho So 1 is located in a plaza by the 99 Ranch with lots of parking space. There is plenty of indoor seating and though it was a weekday at dinner, this place still had a half dozen or so tables filled. Only indoor seating is available and the food came SUPER quick after ordering. For the pricing related to the portions of pho offered, I think this place is definitely competitive. Chín Pho 5/5, I had this and it was HUGE. It came delightfully hot and steamy, the noodles were soft and most importantly the pho broth was delicious!! Everything was fresh and tasty

    Now I'm never one to complain about the quality of food on yelp. Coming from a family who LITERALLY…read moreOWNS pho restaurants, I sympathize with the plight of an operation built on family recipes and hard work. And yet, the only way I can explain our experience today is that of a biblical level injustice. It was as if Judas himself returned to this mortal coil just to stab my friend and I in the eye and leave with our wallets. So here's the story: My vegetarian friend ordered A NUMBER 31: PHO CHAY. Now for those of you unseasoned pho aficionados (unlike me), that's means a vegetarian pho with VEGETARIAN broth. Additionally, the Pho Chay is marked as vegetarian in the menu. 5 minutes later, the waiter places a bowl of hot soup in front of him. Utterly ravenous from a previous night of lecherous debauchery, he eagerly digs in. As soon as he tastes the broth, however, a dismayed look flashes across his face. His supposedly quaint vegan broth had obviously been tainted by the soul of quivering chicken. Upon complaining that our PHO CHAY with vegetarian broth had actually come with CHICKEN BROTH, we proceeded to be the victim of such egregious levels of gaslighting that it can only be compared to that of medical gaslighting experienced by a middle aged women undergoing perimenopause. However, the server eventually gives in to his mistake. He offers a correction. But before he could abscond with the bowl, I asked him if he was planning to throw the meal away. He confirmed that indeed it would be tossed, so I asked if we could keep the original soup as I didn't want to waste food, and I personally have no qualms about eating meat. The server agrees and my friend receives his new bowl free of chicken cruelty. Now you may think, all is well! Cest La Vie right? Not so fast. Injustice imminent: As we went to pay the bill, we were promptly informed that in addition to screwing up our order, WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE BOWL OF UNWANTED CHICKEN PHO. Oh but wait! To add insult to injury, they told us it was 50% off. I was utterly flabbergasted. The 50% off gesture was so criminal it felt as if they had just taken a knife and STABBED US 46 TIMES, and felt kind enough to leave a wet napkin so we could wipe ourselves off. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN. Oh and side note, the food was terrible.

She's been coming here since before they upgraded the space, and from what I understand it's run by brothers. The family is really nice, and it definitely has that local neighborhood spot feel. The main reason she brought me was for their **bún riêu**, but I have to be honest -- it didn't really taste like bún riêu to me. It was still good, but the broth had more of a tomato-y, clearer base and felt like its own soup rather than a true bún riêu. I was also surprised they didn't have **shrimp paste** available for it, which felt kind of odd. They do have **bánh bèo** and some other Vietnamese dishes, which I thought was cool, and overall everything we tried was okay. I've had a different soup from here before, and I've also gotten it delivered, and I'd say the experience is pretty much the same across the board -- decent, solid, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out for me either.
