Grilled pork banh mi
Natalie F.

I checked in there today and saw that it was my 12th check-in. They are definitely doing something right. Today I was craving a grilled pork banh mi and they delivered. The bread was crispy perfect and the veggie and grilled pork filling was a good size portion. I've had the pho and spring rolls there in the past, but just wanted a quick light meal today and it hit the spot. The container of water on the table was warm, but they have a self serve dispenser of ice water available. Service was quick. Parking can be a challenge, but once you're there, it's all worth it

I found it a bit odd that banh mis couldn't be purchased here without filling because they definitely have the supply... I could only imagine how well it would've tasted dipped in broth. With that said, the bun bo hue was probably the best i've had in town and the closest thing to the soup my grandmother makes. It cured my homesickness right up! Their dining area is quaint so if you go during their rushes, expect a 20-40 min wait.

Love the spring rolls and friendly service. Dislike the parking situation. It's a snug place for pho the lemon grass on the noodles soups soooo good. Definitely try if it's on your path.

My favorite!!! So delicious! Service is fast and guys are very friendly! I can't imagine how it would be better because they are the best!

House pho
Kassandra S.

Came here for some good authentic pho & we were not let down. It was so delicious & had lots of noodles. The meat was cooked beautifully. It was quite busy when we came for dinner around 4pm, but we were sat quickly. The ambiance was medium noise level. The restaurant wasn't as clean inside & the bathrooms were a bit dirty Nonetheless the food was delicious!

5 Stars!!!! This little hole-in-the-wall pho spot has been my go-to. The house pho is soooo delicious. The broth is perfect. The noodles are perfect. The meat is perfect. You can count on this place to never miss the mark.

A small vietnamese pho restaurant in Korean town. Food was good and service was wonderful. Our server Thao was very friendly.

I was feeling a little under the weather so decided to get a good bowl of Pho. Ktown Pho was def able to satisfy my cravings without driving to SGV. I ordered the Seafood pho, the broth was amazing but they were a lil skimpy of the seafood. That would be my only critique. Otherwise go check them out!

Interior
Kathryn F.

Delicious pho with perfectly springy noodles. I had the seafood in vegan broth and it truly hit the spot. There are various options, including for vegans. Service was polite and helpful. The atmosphere was calm and quiet when we arrived, but got busier at the lunch rush. It's a little confusing getting in from Western Ave. We were unsure if it was the entrance for the restaurant or the dog shop. Just keep walking back and you'll find it.

K Town Pho was very yummy!
Calvin C.

The pho ga was a nice and light broth with good flavors, good noodles texture, and good overall toppings and ingredients. The service was attentive and polite, the interior was a medium sized restaurant with good amount of seating, and it was pretty good overall. I didn't know there was peanuts in the chili oil so I had a bit of an allergic reaction, but it was small enough to warrant no commotion/ no complaints. Please put a sign that it has peanuts in it

Best Pho I've had in Los Angeles! I typically come here with my friend I always order the chicken pho and the broth is so delicious. It's a pretty small establishment but that doesn't take away from how delicious the food is! I will always come back to Ktown Pho for my monthly fix.

House Special Pho
Kayla M.

Came here for my birthday. Cute no frills pho place that gets busy very quickly. Pho is amazing and doesn't taste like spices looked at some water

Nathaniel J B.

Sooo crazy good!!! Not sure why still an unknown sleeper but cannot argue how tender soft and delicious the meat quality here!!! Portions have definitely shrank but staff and ownership are still super nice and accommodating!! Highly recommended!! Street parking recommended but they do have an oddly shaped super busy back parking lot!!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cute atmosphere, with great lunch specials…read more The hubby and I were looking for a good lunch spot in the area and Vietnamese sounded really good. The space was very cute, with great light from the windows and fun personal photos and memorabilia. We were pleasantly surprised by their $20 lunch specials and decided to take advantage. You get three items, one from each category: starters, half size pho, and beverage. I got the spring rolls, veg pho and iced coffee; the hubby got the half veg banh mi, veg pho, and a coke. The food was good and the portions were more than enough. We actually ended up taking some of the starters home. A very good value and friendly service. Lastly, gotta give it up for their shirt with the OutKast reference. Peace out.

I used to regularly pick up the Iced Thai Coffee during my breaks at work and the street style fried rice when I left work late but today I wanted to go slow with some Beef Meatball Pho. I haven't sat down here in a while so the menu's seen some changes. A few of the drinks I used to get don't appear anymore but the popular Iced Thai Coffee and Thai Tea were still there. Though coming in, the guy behind the counter asked me not to sit on my regular spot, almost got my order wrong and asked how the food was before I started eating. It really harshed my vibe of the place. The bowls of pho now use red onions instead of white. They taste a bit more biting than before with a lingering aftertaste. Staff say the changes were made a few months ago and it definitely gave the soup more impact. Though the Strawberry Limeade wasn't a very good pairing. The meatballs are cut and portioned differently as well. Though not too different as to how they were before, the ingredient looks ready to be had in other dishes like a Bahn Mi. Overall different to how I used to have it. I'd had considered a dessert but the same wait staff presented me with my bill before I could consider. Overall an odd dining experience where I felt rushed and a little unwelcome. Though it's always good to see familiar faces among the staff.

The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. They take the time to offer recommendations and help you decide if you're unsure what to order, which is something I really appreciate when dining out. Some of my favorites are the shrimp salad rolls with their delicious peanut sauce, the spicy edamame, the spicy chicken wings, the shrimp fried rice, and my absolute favorite is the sizzling spicy barbecue pork hot pan. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Their Thai tea is always refreshing, and from time to time I stop by just to grab one of their Vietnamese coffees, which never disappoints. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food with amazing flavors, generous portions, and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend giving The Sister's Café a try!

The pork was deeply flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the pickled veggies were crisp and bright. But the cup of pork broth for dipping is what took it over the edge. It was incredible, and I now expect it with every banh mi for the rest of my life. Vui Ve has ruined other sandwiches for me and I regret nothing. The space is cute, simple, and communal, with decor that feels thoughtful without trying too hard. Our server, whose name I wish I had caught, was a hero. She was seating guests, handling pickup orders, prepping food, serving, and clearing tables, basically a one woman show. She still made time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. Kind, sweet, and hustling like crazy. Loved every minute of it. If you see a pork broth cup on the menu, say yes.

A longtime local who was disappointed by the service…read more Having lived in North Hollywood for about eight years, I've watched so many local businesses come and go. I was definitely one of the earlier customers to give this spot a try and support it, and I've always appreciated the neighborhood vibe, generally affordable prices, and casual atmosphere. I've had the pho before, and while it wasn't the best I've ever had, it was decent overall. I personally think the broth could use a little more depth and flavor, but I've always liked having a spot like this in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, my most recent experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and not because of the food. My partner and I stopped by around 8:30 p.m. on a rainy evening, knowing the restaurant closed at 9. We had been running around all day and really just wanted something warm to eat. We were hoping to sit down, order a bowl of soup, and enjoy a quick meal. The restaurant wasn't at capacity, and several people were still seated and enjoying their food. The first employee asked whether we wanted to dine in or order to go, and we were in the process of ordering when another employee came over and told us they were no longer seating anyone and were only offering takeout because the kitchen needed to close down. I understand the service industry. I work in it myself, so I absolutely respect that employees want to clean up, wrap things up, and get home at a reasonable hour. I wasn't expecting to order a full spread or keep anyone there all night. We were two people who wanted a simple, hot meal with 30 minutes remaining before closing. We even tried to find a compromise. We explained that we were happy to have our food packaged to go if that made things easier, but we still wanted to sit down and eat it there. We weren't asking for anything elaborate. Unfortunately, the answer remained no. What made the interaction particularly frustrating was that we were already being helped by another employee, and it felt as though the interaction was abruptly interrupted to turn us away. The way it was handled made us feel unwelcome, especially when other customers were still comfortably dining inside. We no longer live in the immediate area, but I'm very familiar with the neighborhood and made the drive over. We had to circle around looking for parking, finally park, and walk over, only to be told that sitting down for a quick bowl of soup wasn't an option at 8:30 p.m. I understand that restaurants have closing procedures, but there's a difference between setting reasonable boundaries and making customers feel like an inconvenience for showing up during posted business hours. If the restaurant has a last dine-in seating time earlier than its official closing time, I think that should be communicated clearly. Otherwise, customers reasonably expect that arriving 30 minutes before closing means they can still order a quick meal, provided the kitchen is accepting orders. I genuinely wanted to support a familiar neighborhood spot that I've visited before. I wasn't looking for special treatment, just a warm meal and a welcoming experience on a cold, rainy evening. I still think this place has a good neighborhood feel and potential, but this interaction was disappointing. Hospitality matters, too, and how you make people feel can be just as memorable as the food. I hope management takes this feedback constructively.
