    Chicken pho
    S F.

    it's pho had the worst flavor you will taste. we came here tonight for dinner with our family excited to try the pho after reading some of the reviews and I knew once the bowl came out everything was off. They did not give us any of the vegetables which you always get when you order pho at restaurants. we asked about it they said that it's already in there on the bottom, I did not see any bean sprouts and herbs, We had to ask for some to be brought to the table to add in. The broth was very clear and salty no flavor. You must add some hot sauce to even taste it. the chicken was watery and flavorless and chewy in not a good way. The broth was lukewarm, and my noodles were still hard. This was not a good experience at all, the worst I've had in a long time. I literally ordered pizza across the way after dinner. It was that bad. This is not good Vietnamese food at all!

    Where should we eat? It's Pho Hollywood! That's what I heard from my teens when I was in the area, which meant we ate here twice in 2 days! That says a lot! It was THAT food. My favorites were: fresh spring roll (they rolls were huge and tofu were perfectly crisp), Thai ice tea with boba (the boba was soft and warm!), mango sticky rice (delicious, large, and plated beautifully), garlic noodles (O.M.G!!!! I can eat 2 orders of these myself!), and Vietnamese rice plate with lemongrass chicken. The service was great, the ambiance inside was cute and decorated well, and the menu was diverse with the Thai menu on one side and Vietnamese cuisine on the other. The only area that wasn't so great was the area the restaurant was in (it is a little shady McShady) and the parking is small, but if you're from the area, you won't blink an eye. Overall, we loved it (obviously), and if we lived nearby, It's Pho Hollywood would be a weekly staple for us!

    Khao soi with noodles and chicken. Huge portions!
    Melissa R.

    Been here many times already, finally getting to review it :) My gf and I go here whenever we feel like a good bowl of pho, khao soi or even a protein with rice dish. My gf got the khao soi, the flavor is so rich and creamy! Portions are huge! I got the spicy beef and it's got a good spice to it! Flavor is perfect! The service here is always great! It's a little small inside but I feel like alot of people don't linger much because it's hella cold in there lol. So getting a table won't be a problem. It definitely has not stopped me from coming back! :)

    Spicy beef rib pho
    Jeanette F.

    My daughter and her boyfriend just moved in up the street so we took a nice walk to It's Pho. Delicious ! I ordered the spicy beef rib pho with tendon and it was mouth watering ! Amazing service, quaint place, but the food ...... perfection ! Highly recommend

    Bahn Xeo with chicken and shrimp

    It's Pho is a new discovery/recommendation for me...even though the team said they've been open since 2012/2013. I am not typically a fan of fusion everything, but the Thai and Viet options here are separated and lean into their own cuisines. I should have taken a picture of the menu! Funny enough, I didn't try the pho so you'll have to rely on others' reviews or just take a chance. Here is what we ordered: 1. Fresh roll with grilled pork: summer roll served with fish sauce and peanut sauce. The meat had a nice, charred flavor. 2. Bahn xeo: savory crepe with chicken and shrimp. It comes with greens, mint, and fish sauce. The batter is a little thicker than what you'll find in OC, but the crunch and the variety of textures were excellent. I don't really see bahn xeo on LA menus, and this dish was what I've been craving. 3. Khao soi with back rib: thick coconut curry soup. The rib meat was very tender. Onions and lime were a needed boost to balance out the sweetness. Get the noodles on the side if you don't think you'll finish the dish or if you plan to take leftovers. 4. Chicken thigh meal: with salad, soup, rice. The rice was a scoop of com tam which surprised me in the best way. I was not expecting to have broken rice during this meal. 5. Thai tea: I didn't try this but it looked creamy, maybe with a touch too much ice though. 6. Mango sticky rice: with coconut cream and black/white sesame seeds on top. The fruit was perfectly ripe. I didn't need the flower but the presentation was quite nice. Make room for dessert, because this is not your typical watered-down coconut pour. It's thicc. We were trying to be "good" but we should have ordered the large. Take leftovers, add veggies, stretch it out. I noticed that one of the families didn't take their noodles or shrimp. I was full of imaginary tears and silent judgement as they passed by our table to leave. Did their parents not tell them about the starving kids in the rest of the world? OMG I am now crying real tears as I write this. Parking is within the strip-mall. Spaces are tight but having any parking in Hollywood is like a dream. TK and Vicky were on staff and they were great. It was cool to see their flow with one another and with all the customers as the restaurant got busier for dinner. Yes, we will return.

    Very delicious , broth was amazing and good portion sizes . Location is small inside, and the service was great! Thai tea is a good drink choice. Pricing is reasonable

    Garlic Noodle & Cabbage (HIGHLY RECOMMEND)
    Samantha H.

    I came in to order pho because I lost my voice and while I was waiting they gave me the most amazing hot tea to help soothe my throat. So sweet of them. When I got home I immediately dug into the food! The pho was soooo INCREDIBLE and filled to the brim! Garlic noodles with cabbage were a hit as well. Definitely my go to spot!! So cozy inside as well. Happy to live close to it, worth the drive if you don't! Such wonderful staff, thank you guys so much again! :)

    Jenn L.

    Beef ball pho hit the spot! Friendly and efficient service, and the restaurant is pretty cozy too.

    Seafood Noodles Bowl Finished
    Gabriel C.

    Today I stopped by It's Pho and I was met by the best hosts TK & Lina. I was recommended the spicy seafood noodles and it was the best seafood noodles I've ever tried then I was given ice cream. This place has an incredible vibe and cozy feel inside. Do yourself a favor and come try their Pho!

    Marcia D.

    This place is awesome! Service was very attentive and knowledgeable about their dishes. We ordered some egg rolls, Pad-see ew with beef, which was delicious, traditional Pho (no meat, no veggies), Pho Bo, Khao Soi (Chicken Curry Noodles, which was the star of the night), and Lemongrass Bánh Mì with fries. Regular fountain drinks, Thai tea, and an iced green tea. The place is cozy but has enough space to sit a large group, as well as a party of one. Enjoyable ambiance.

    Pho Dac Biet Pho (beef combination), Thai Iced Tea, Vietnamese Iced Coffee
    Jodie F.

    So glad a good pho place exists near me! Was feeling severely ill & needed a comfort meal. Our order was out within 20 min. Pho broth was yummy & it's a decent portion, but we do wish there was more meat & that the steak was in a separate container so we have more control over the rareness. The drinks were the right amount of sweetness. Complimented the meal perfectly.

    Chris Y.

    I had to have the beef combo and it was delicious. The seating is wonderful. The music is incredible. I couldn't believe how delicious his food was. It's well worth it and it provides a wonderful option right in the middle of Hollywood. I enjoyed the iced coffee very much that helps close out a perfect meal and I got there early to make sure there was parking but if you are close by, it's well worth the walk ! I'm coming back for the spring rolls !

The regular menu is quite expensive with the cheapest at $17 for appetizer and salad options and most expensive at a whooping $80. The lunch menu was more affordable but still on the pricey side $21-$32 with add on options. The waitress was taking our orders and what surprised me was with my co-worker ordered the pad see ew and the waitress asked her how spicy she wants it. I was aw shocked. I'm not a Thai food expert but I do know pad see ew is a noodles dish that's offers a sweet soy sauce flavor. Never served spicy. I didn't get to try the dish but when I asked my co worker how it taste she said it was spicy and not sweet at all. I'm not sure that was an authentic pad see ew. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the tumeric chicken, with steamed vegetables and paid extra $7 to substitute for a papaya salad. I asked for #2 spice level but it was not spicy at all. Other co workers said they asked for medium but it was way too spicy. So it looks like their spicy levels are inconsistent. I'm not sure how this restaurant can justify the prices with the quality they are serving. Probably won't be back. Service was mediocre. Didn't offer to refill our waters. Parking is metered parking or paid lot.

The rice was piping hot and the mangos were sweet and soft, drizzled with a generous serving of sweet coconut milk. Personally, the rice was a bit too soft for me and the coconut milk was a tad too sweet, but it still scratched the itch I had for mango sticky rice. I went close to closing so the staff could only offer me takeout, which was fine. They were friendly both over the phone and in-person when I picked up my order. I'm only dinging it a point because of its high(er) price point. I would be down to go back again to try out their entrees next time though!

I felt like I came to eat and my mom's house. They take Debit Card and Apple Pay WITH a pin only. I forgot my wallet and paid with Apple Pay. It did not have a place for tip which made me feel awful. At the end I apologized and she was like "it's ok, next time." And she was genuinely fine with it. She reassured me not to worry about it. So I'm determined to come back to tip her because if anybody deserved a tip it was her. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu- I like to order peanut sauce on the side and the woman found it interesting and struck a non judgmental conversion about it. I could really tell she was genuinely curious. This was my favorite dish. It was good. I also ordered spicy fried rice with tofu and spicy panang curry with vegetables. I chose 4 out of a 6 for spicy and it was not spicy at all for me. The rice was fine, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad. The panang curry was yummy. I don't know if it's regional but it was very light in taste and light in thickness. BUT I enjoyed it for what it was. Felt like I had gotten home made chicken soup or something like that comforting and not overly processed. Maybe it's because I ordered it with no protein and just vegetables. I ordered a lot of food so I explained to her that I was going to eat some and take the rest to go. When she brought the food she brought it nicely packed without a bag. She also brought me a real plate and utensils to eat here. She let me know that when I was ready she'd bring a bag which I thought was thoughtful. She also made sure to say "take your time, no need to rush. We close at 8" and it was 5pm. Again, it felt genuinely nurturing, she wanted to make sure I felt taken care of and welcomed. It meant a lot because I was frazzled from forgetting my wallet and from having a hard day at work. This was my first time here and it won't be my last. There is a small lot on site. Prices were very reasonable.

I won't be ordering this dish again. I took half home, cut up the soybean fish and added it to a stew. I didn't mention to my server that it was my bday, but was disappointed that he didn't even offer like regular servers do, "Would you like to see the dessert menu?" I didn't tell him it was my bday nor did I ask for the dessert menu bc I wasn't the one paying the bill. Not that I needed dessert, but it would've been nice to have been asked. When I mentioned this to another server who came by to clear our table that our server didn't even ask if we wanted dessert and that the restaurant doesn't seem to want to push its desserts, he quickly brought us a dessert menu, but my friend was already paying our bill - too late! It would've been nice to be asked earlier. I even had candles in my bag just in case we got dessert. Anyway, this server said he'll tell our server about not offering dessert. The next day I came back with another friend after a Music Center event. My server from the day before recognized me. This time he asked us at the start before we ordered or after we had just ordered whether we'd like to see the dessert menu. Huh? Ask at the END not start of a meal! Instead of embarrassing him, I told him, "No, thanks. My bday was yesterday." On this second day, my friend and I shared a Chinoise salad (delicious and refreshing!) and paella (not like a paella, a little too wet and granular for our taste, but healthy - a living food dish). We had mint and lemon water for both meals. $12 parking in the adjacent structure. Free parking passes at the Music Center if you're a season ticket holder or good luck with finding street parking. I'd still continue to occasionally patronize this restaurant when I have Music Center events bc I want to support veganism, the restaurant; however, I was disappointed with some of the food and waitstaff this weekend. I'd suggest that the waitstaff go thru customer training on when/what/how to talk to customers. Incentive from the website: join the rewards plan - 300 points for 30% off the bill and 100 points for a free dessert! I'm aiming for the free dessert!!

In fact, we had to order Fried Rice instead since we couldn't eat the noodles. The Pad See Ew was just okay.
