BBH Noodle Soup
Itzel C.

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.

Pho Duoi Bo thai tea

This was the best pho I've ever had. If you're looking for a cozy pho spot , stop searching and head to Ktown Pho. The staff was very friendly and efficient with our orders. The thai tea was perfect ; sweet and tasty. We got the combination pho, the broth was delicious, meat was cooked perfectly, and noddles were perfect. I wish i lived in LA so i could eat this every day.

Tatiana S.

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.

Menu

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.

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!!

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

Pork banh mi
Sierra J.

Stopped into Ktown Pho because I was craving a banh mi. I believe it's only street parking but luckily I was able to snag a spot nearby. The restaurant is very casual and gives off "hole in the wall" vibes. I ordered the pork banh mi and it was delicious! I really loved that the meat had no chewy or fatty pieces and the bread was perfectly fresh. My only complaint is that I wish the sando had a bit more meat, but at $10 I can't complain! I'm already looking forward to the next time I come back, as I could smell the pho broth need to try it asap!

My mom and I ordered the short rib soup, which was flavorful and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by the added greens. My siblings ordered the pork soup, which was packed with umami.

The space is clean and tidy. The environment really had me missing Seoul. And what better way to comfort a heart yearning for home, than authentic Korean food. The homemade buckwheat noodles have the perfect chewiness to breakage ratio that you'll go absolutely crazy for. I prefer the spicy naengmyeon because they've hit that delicate balance of heat and flavor that perfectly compliment the natural sweetness of the noodles. For anyone looking for a hearty meal, I'd recommend the combo, you get the cold noodles and an order of beef short ribs pork or chicken for about $30. My brother is a bodybuilder, so he goes for the Bibimbop (hot stone bowl with rice veggies and protein) and I'm guilty of stealing a few bites from his plate. The banchan has a freshness you can taste in every dish. If you're like me and in need of quality homemade kimchee, look no further. Everything at Jinsol Gukbap reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The amount of care that goes into preparing these meals really shines through. The balance of flavors is so deliberate, I can't call this a humble comfort food restaurant. The folks at Jinsol are true masters of their craft and I can say with confidence I'll be coming back again and again and again

It's probably due to them taking your order while in line so that almost as soon as you sit down your food arrives. The banchan was really good especially the green one which I think was mustard greens. We order the Bossam (medium) and Spicy Seafood Kalguksu The Bossam was delicious but maybe a bit too much fat for my taste but I think that's just personal preference. What totally blew us away was the spicy seafood kalguksu. The broth was so savory and the noodles were silky and bouncy. Definitely getting this again but my hubby might do his with extra spice. The portions are huge so meant to be shared and you will have leftovers. The only thing they were stingy with was napkins. I might have to bring my own Kleenex next time.

There is also the option to visit H Mart and get validation with a purchase there, of course. Try to come towards the beginning / end of dinner service, because coming during rush hour may result in a 30-45 minute wait - very worth the wait, though! My friend and I visit on occasion and enjoy their Clam Kalguksu, which is a dish you may not find at other Kalguksu places. The clams are always fresh, clean and free of sand. I'm always impressed with how well they can mask the clamminess and taste of the sea with the spices in this dish. Their other dishes like bossam and chicken porridge. The bossam is decent, though I wouldn't recommend the chicken porridge. The chicken porridge gets thick and dry fairly easily. If you don't enjoy it fast, it will become a chore to eat! During rush hour, you may also need to get your own utensils / ladle because the staff may forget. Plan also to eat fast, too, because they may subtly rush you with the bill... after all, they do often get lines out the door!

Had a great experience at Sulga House of Beef Bone Soup…read more Their beef bone soup is simple, clean, and really solid, the kind of comfort food that just hits right for the soul. They currently have a great deal at $12, which makes it even better value for what you're getting. The sullungtang comes with rice, soup, and two types of kimchi. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy and satisfying. Place was chill, not too overly crowded. I've noticed a lot of people ordering other dishes every time I go, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of the menu, but I keep coming back for the basics because it's just that good.

Sulga was definitely THE place to be for a warm bowl of bone broth on a rainy night. My friend and…read moreI stopped by for doganitang (for two), and the portions were indeed large - for four. We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
