As someone who knows her pho Ga. This place is the BEST PHO GA EVER. Authentic and flavorful.

Came back after 5 years and I think they've changed their recipe - maybe because it's summer and they're just getting less customers/turnaround since it's so hot outside. I'm not sure. My pho ga soup tasted entirely of fish sauce. It was super salty and when I took the soup back, it did not congeal in the fridge this time. Very disappointing. read more

My favorite place for pho ga! The broth tastes like the homemade clear light chicken soup my asian mom would make growing up, and the chicken is very tender. The soup always comes out piping hot, and the rice noodles are wider than regular pho noodles. The dipping sauce that comes with the chicken is tangy and gingery, and it's my healing soul food whenever I'm feeling under the weather. I kind of skip the plate of bean sprouts and lime they give you because they don't always look that fresh, but the soup doesn't need it anyways. I've had their egg rolls, banh cuon, and bun cha Hanoi, which are all delicious too, but I usually just order the pho ga (regular small size) because I can't finish more than that. They have clean bathrooms at the back of the restaurant and a good amount of tables inside. Do note that if you sit more towards the back near the kitchen, it may smell stronger (probably from fish sauce and chicken). The ladies who work here are very nice and speak viet, canto, and English. Reminder that this place is cash only!!! read more

The best place for pho ga! This will cure anything and everything you have and satisfy all cravings! The clean fresh broth is comforting and the noodles are always fresh. Ive probably been to this place over 20 times and haven't reviewed it yet! The workers are kind and everything comes out quick and steaming. Usually the large is too much for me so I'll stick with the regular small size. read more

Cash only. Wow. This place is possibly the worse pho ga spot I've ever been to. I hate to say this but it was (without exaggeration) watered down tasteless broth. On top of this, the flat noodles were very low quality where they break easily and were not "silky" like fresh noodles should be. The chicken was good albeit extremely stingy. When you ask for a large, it is $1 more. Sorry but no. read more

Not sure why this spot has such low ratings. I have a pretty ok experience. The restaurant doesn't look super clean but there was literally a lady cleaning the whole time we were there. The food was good (as expected) since we ordered half a chicken and sides of rice and noodles. And the Banh cuon was delish!! I'm actually thinking abt it again right now lol the ladies that work there were super nice and attentive with everything. read more

Pho ga is one of my favorite comfort foods. We came for dinner today as a family of 6. This place used to be busier but it was pretty empty when we went. I ordered a large bowl of noodles to split with the hubs, and also a whole chicken to split with the fam. The noodle soup wasn't hot enough and also tasted a little bland, but I still really enjoyed it. The chicken had a lot of small bones that I had to keep spitting out. They are pretty generous with the sauce portions. Overall a pretty decent pho ga place that I wouldn't mind going again. read more

Food: 4/5｜Service: 5/5｜Atmosphere: 4/5 The poached chicken was cooked just right -- tender, juicy, and pleasantly bouncy without being tough. The ginger-scallion sauce was fragrant and well-balanced, and I highly recommend pairing the chicken with their pho noodles and broth. The broth has a clean, savory depth with just the right level of saltiness, and the rice noodles are incredibly smooth and silky, which really elevates the whole dish. Even though the shop is quite busy, the staff are friendly and attentive, and service remains efficient -- after placing our order, the wait time was about 15 minutes, which felt very reasonable. If you only take the chicken home on its own, you may find the seasoning a bit light, since it's meant to be enjoyed together with the soup and noodles. As a full combo, though, everything comes together beautifully and feels comforting and satisfying. read more

What's up: In the mood for pho? How about chicken pho? This is the place to get just that since they're famous for having really good chicken! Parking: Located in Mission Village, parking is shared among the nearby businesses. A lot of spots are small/compact, so keep an eye out or you might not fit lol. Environment: We were seated and given menus upon arrival. Lucky us, we came right before the dinner crowd. Tea is complementary when dining in. The place was nice and had a large mural on the side of the wall. What was ordered: - Egg Rolls (good) - Pho Ga (chicken is really good) - Pho Tai Ga (mix of beef and chicken) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, the food was good. Chicken was not dry at all and very good. Staff members were friendly. Credit cards are accepted. read more

I was in the mood for some good hot chicken soup on this chilly marine layer morning and the delicious pho ga served here filled that need perfectly. The broth was very tasty and the poached chicken was great albeit big chunks. On the side, were bean sprouts, jalapeno slices and a wonderful gingery dipping sauce. The ladies were very friendly and gracious. The place looked clean and attended to. I left feeling full and happy. Looking forward to coming back and trying more things! read more

I have been coming here for years but probably won't be coming because there are other places that will offer superior dining experience. The food is dependable although not stellar. The pho ga is good and is rather cheap compared to other places. That's why you would go there. However, if you're wanting to have a place with better seating and just better dining experience, there are better places. One day, I came in and sat at the counter top which allows for a front view seat to the wait/cashier station with a fine view of the kitchen through the open door. At that doorway, they store a plastic bucket with a large strainer on top and they dump all the soup from the consumed bowls into that bucket to separate the solids from the liquid. The fact that they have to store that bucket right at the kitchen door for the diners to see is just plain old word and kind'of revolting sight. During my meal, I saw workers from the kitchen door (which is half covered with a curtain) push with their feet open containers of food (not sure if the chicken scraps are for the trash or not). But the whole experience just left me disgusted and not in any hurry to come back despite the cheaper prices. read more

Pretty solid and authentic Vietnamese restaurant. The food came out quick and was good! The bun rieu was flavorful and light- not too salty. The small was just the right size. The banh cuon was good as well but I wish the filling had more protein. read more

The food is okay if you're looking for a quick bite, though I've definitely had better chicken elsewhere. Unfortunately, the service is lacking. I understand there may be a language barrier, but that shouldn't result in customers being ignored. One of our orders was incorrect, and when we brought it up, the staff insisted that we had ordered it that way. Even after multiple people in our group confirmed what we originally asked for, our concerns were ignored and they would not remake our dish. We tried communicating in both Mandarin and English to clarify, but the staff members were dismissive and walked away without resolving the issue. They straight up began to ignore us. I've visited this place several times before, but based on this experience, I don't plan on returning. read more

BEST PHO GA IN LOS ANGELES.. PERIODT. If you're looking for the best bowl of chicken pho, this is your spot. The broth is SO overwhelmingly delicious - it's clearly been brewed for long periods of time. You can taste the high quality chicken in the soup (it has a slight herbal taste, pretty sure they use game hen/high quality chicken). It comes with the slightly wider, fresh pho noodles (not the thin kind you usually see) which is another bonus. Love how soft and delicious the fresh kind of pho noodles taste. Although I typically get beef pho when craving pho, that's not because I like it much more than chicken pho. It's because it's just so much harder to find legit chicken pho since it seems to be less sought out in the los angeles greater area. Besides their chicken pho, I've only ordered 1 other item - appetizer #10: Banh Cuon Tom Thit (steamed pork and shrimp rice noodle wraps with side of meatloaf). This was actually really good too - the rice noodles are thin and you can taste the freshness (not old rice noodles). There's a decent amount of pork & shrimp pieces within the rice rolls (but don't expect a huge chunk, because this dish isn't meant to have a massive amount of meats). Pho Ga - 10/10 Banh Cuon Tom Thit - 9/10 CASH ONLY!!! Bring yo cash and eat some delicious pho ga! read more

HP Pho Ga Bac Ninh - Pho Ga - small size. comes with delicious dipping sauce for the chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Rosemead, California

TLDR: small plaza (parking gets busy on weekends & during lunch rush), amazing ginger dipping sauce (refreshing, tangy, and perfectly complements the tender chicken) & chicken broth, first timer? - try a bowl of chicken pho or order 1/4-1/2 chicken + a bowl of noodles, TIP: sub the noodles for "lai fun" thick vermicelli noodles (I.e. bun bo hue noodles) This is a cozy haven for chicken pho (pho ga) enthusiasts like myself. With its no-frills, mom-and-pop ambiance, and efficient service, this spot delivers a satisfying dining experience from start to finish. As soon as you enter, you're greeted quickly and recommended to order ASAP. Within minutes, a piping hot bowl of noodles arrives at your table, boasting a flavorful broth with minimal MSG, leaving you feeling content rather than overly thirsty after your meal. What truly sets this place apart is its customizable noodle options; whether you prefer vermicelli or thin or thick rice noodles, the menu caters to your preferences, allowing you to create your perfect bowl of pho. While HP Pho Ga earns high marks for its delicious food and efficient service, a few hiccups have been noted with to-go orders. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall dining experience remains delightful, earning this spot a solid 4 out of 5 stars in my book. Remember to double-check your order, especially if it's to-go. Ensure they've included enough sauce and got your noodle substitutions right. It's a small hiccup in an otherwise stellar experience. read more

I've been here multiple times before writing this review and I always order their hainan chicken with rice. There's one with dark meat and one with white meat. I randomly pick one depending on how I'm feeling. The chicken is always delicious. They definitely use some active chickens because the meat is always firm and slightly springy, defining feature of open area raised chickens. Their consistency in cooking rice is what makes me give them a 3 star. Some days, the rice is too soggy (overcooked) or too dry and tough (undercooked). Rarely will I ever get rice that is decent. Service is also nonexistent, which follows the typical style of these restaurants. Overall, I would be willing to give them a 4 star if their consistency in the rice was way better. The meat is definitely tasty but rice consistency makes just as much of an impact on the dish. read more

Great Food, Friendly Service, and Generous Portions! This restaurant is a hidden gem located inside the newer Mission Village plaza, which has plenty of convenient parking. The space is clean, well-maintained, and has a decent amount of seating, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The customer service here is excellent, everyone we interacted with was friendly, especially the ladies who work there. They speak both Cantonese and Vietnamese, and they made us feel very welcome. We ordered the rice noodle dish and both the chicken and beef pho. The portions were huge--easily enough to satisfy both my husband and my son. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked, and the flavor was spot on. I really appreciated the generous side of fresh vegetables that came with the dish. The chicken pho was especially hearty and flavorful. Overall, this is a great spot for anyone looking for tasty, satisfying Vietnamese food with excellent service. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back again! read more

Great food, great service family own business! It's there 15 year anniversary! That said, most people tended to get 1 half chicken and 2 bowls of plain noodles... Maybe it's a better deal?

Have become a lunch regular at this place since it's pretty close to work but it has its shortcomings... 3 stars!!! My go-to lunch order at Pho Ga is the Bun Bo Xao, Vietnamese Style Stir-Fried Beef with Rice Vermicelli Noodles. Love dipping the noodles and veggies with the stir-fried beef in the flavorful fish sauce. My other go-to lunch order is the Banh Cuon, Steamed Pork and Shrimp Rice Noodle Wraps. Pretty flavorful and hearty; make sure to opt for the large portion to get your money's worth. You can always take the leftovers for another meal. Why not 4 or 5 stars? I find myself having a mild MSG headache after having any of the Phos at Pho Ga, so I avoid ordering these soups. Also, I find the Bun Rieu lacking in flavor compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. Moreover, the Hainan Chicken doesn't even come close to the one offered at Savoy Kitchen. Finally, service is often a hit or a miss, and the wait staff can sometimes come across as indifferent, maybe even rude. Is it also a full table service restaurant when you have to go to the counter to get your bill and pay? read more

You know this place is authentic and legit when everyone is giving raving reviews about the food but can't get over themselves to give 5 stars. Pho ga is the star here, and it's worth the wait as the comfort food is served and slurped up quickly. The broth is clear and tasty and still tasted flavorful even when my nose is clogged up miles deep from a cold. An order of range-free chicken is a must to share with your group. If you're alone, it's a privilege to share the leftovers with your future self. If you're looking to be pampered like you're more important to the tough old ladies than their endless orders of dine-in and to-go, this busy old-timey Asian store isn't for you. Oh and don't miss out on the banh cuon here - they don't skim out on the stuffing! read more

Yummy Yummy in My Tummy. I have been eating here for over 5 years. When it comes to Vietnamese noodles soups, of which there are many to choose from, bun rieu, is an absolute gem. Bún Riêu is a beloved Vietnamese soup of rice vermicelli noodles in a tomato-based broth, originating from the Mekong Delta. The dish is rich, savory, and slightly sweet taste, and is often customized with a variety of toppings and condiments. Finally, no bowl of noodles is ready for me to eat without chilies and a few squeezes of lime juice. The red chilies were crushed and juicy, adding heat and also a littles sourness to the noodles, and lime juice is always good in just about everything. After giving my bowl of bun rieu a little mix with my chopsticks, I was ready to dig in. The rice vermicelli noodles were about the size of spaghetti, not really soft or silky like some other Vietnamese bun noodles, but a little more chewy. The broth, even before I spruced it up with all the condiments, was wonderful. It was light yet with well rounded flavor, not too oily, but tart and sour, a tiny bit sweet, and spicy from the addition of fresh chilies. If you want to eat a stunning bowl of bun rieu, this restaurant hits the spot. Out of all the foods I ate, Bun Rieu was one of my favorite noodles dishes. They also have different variety of Pho, and Banh Cuon, and rice dishes. The service was excellent, with no issues or problems, and I would highly recommend it to others. read more

the go-to pho spot when you are feeling sick or hungry over. broth is very flavorful and delicious. the chicken pairs very well with their sauce.

My favorite place to get Pho Ga in the SGV Area. Quick, attentive, and quality food. The broth tastes clean and the chicken is prepared well. My favorite dish to order is the regular chicken pho with a side of offals. If you're an adventurous eater, what makes this place special is that is comes with the little Egg Yolks which I haven't been able to find anywhere else. read more

Pho Ga definitely hit the spot on a cold rainy day . We had whole free range chicken on the side with noodle soup . Soup came out piping hot as it should be when eating soup . I personally would skip the chicken offal , it is not flavored , still smells rancid and taste foul . It comes with a dipping sauce that still did not help with the internal strong organ scent . Chicken salad with some shredded chicken and loads of cabbage. More cabbage then chicken if that's what you want in a chicken salad lol! Bahn cuon is good , portion is great to share . read more

Stick to the chicken noodle soup, and you'll be just fine. This is my go-to for delicious pho ga. I love their free range chicken that is mostly de-boned for you and the portion is big, even for a regular size. One time I decided to be adventurous and got the bun rieu (crab noodles, very fishy) and I was not a fan, but some folks on Yelp love it. I also tried their chicken mushroom noodle with clear noodles and that's also pretty tasty but I still prefer the rice noodles. Overall, I'd say stick to a chicken dish! They also have homemade mochi stuffed with peanuts and coconut or black sesame, usually sold on the weekends, but they sell out fast. read more

*Parking: Located in a plaza on mission, plenty of parking. *Experience: We came around 11AM on a Wednesday so it was pretty open. Service was friendly but we also speak Cantonese & can order in Vietnamese, so maybe that was helpful. The restaurant itself had a very interesting scent and it was not pleasant at all. It smelled like a mixture of cleaning chemicals and chicken noodle soup. *Food: we ordered the pho ga and bun cha Hanoi. I was not a fan of the pho ga due to the interesting flavor of the broth. It tasted like they either didn't strain the noodle water well when blanching it or the spices were a bit too much. Then the bun cha Hanoi was REALLY salty. It was not like the refreshing experience we had in the Bay Area. Portions were huge but flavor profile was not what we were looking for. read more

Stopped by HP Pho Ga Bac Ninh last night, Feb 7th at around 6 PM. I was instantly greeted and there was multiple seating available. My discipler and I decided to order the following: 1. Pho Ga - Large $11.80 -Chicken with Rice Noodles 2. Bun Rieu - Large $11.80 -Crab Roe, Pork & Egg Meatballs and Tomatoes with Rice Vermicelli Noodles I ordered the Bun Rieu and wasn't too impressed. The soup was definitely on the lighter side and leaned more acidic and sour (which makes sense since it's a tomato-based soup). I just wished it had more of a sweet flavor from the crab/seafood so I thought it was lacking in that department. The portion was big - like large is big but it was mainly a lot of soup and not that many noodles. The meatballs were very soft and kind of disintegrated. Overall the dish was decent but not amazing. I've previously ordered the Pho Ga and thought it was tasty. I remember the soup was also on the lighter side but that's where hoi sin sauce and sriracha come into play! We had our discipleship meeting here and I noticed that they were closing at around 7:30 PM, which was surprising since Yelp listed 8:30 PM. They were nice about us staying there until the last minute but we definitely felt rushed. Reminder - Be sure to bring cash since it's cash only! All in all, I'll consider coming back. The restaurant is close to home, service was pretty good and the food is good enough haha. read more

I've been here a few time. Precovid time, I remember the pho ga here was pretty decent. Soup had more flavor. This time around, I had order takeout, and the soup was quite bland. I got a chicken with beef for my friend. The dishes are more expensive now, but I don't think it matches what you get. They gave like 4 tiny pieces of chicken for pho ga, and like 2 thin slice of beef more for the pho ga tai dish. I'm quite disappointed. Unlikely I'll go back. Service was quick and the place is pretty busy. read more
