There's free parking adjacent to the restaurant as well as free street parking nearby. Pho Tai Nam 5/5, omg I will have daydreams about this broth!!

Though right on La Brea, there was plenty of street metered spots right out front when we came by on a Sunday afternoon. The crispy egg rolls were delicious, and both of our soups were pretty good. The bon rieu was definitely better than the dac biet, which was a bit boring and nothing to write home about. I would come back for the bon rieu, but as we are on the hunt for a good pho spot, may need to keep looking. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which is cute, however the service dining in left something to be desired.

I stumbled upon this place after looking for another pho spot I went to years ago but was on the wrong street. Lucky I found this though because again the broth alone is worth the trip. The shrimp pho was great! Also a cute spot aesthetically if you want something with a little more of a modern look. One of highlights is the self serve bar for the toppings! I prefer lots of green and white onions so it's nice to be able to get however much of whatever you want on your own. Jalapeños, bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, etc. the service was decent. Nothing bad, nothing to rave about. Just what it needed to be to get the job done.

I've never once been here without ordering the Octopus - even back when it was in the secret menu. I've brought many meat eaters here who absolutely loved it as well. Come here and come here often! I recommend the octopus, the curry rice, the sushi roll and the ravioli. Also the juices are so good!

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.

Little hard to find…read moreat first if you're using Google Maps so just remember to go from inside the plaza and not from the street. I believe you can get there from the garage if you're driving. It's a really cozy spot due to its location and has large floor to ceiling windows on one wall to overlook a part of the plaza and shoppers which is cute. It's seems like a mainly quick almost self serving place. They have a touch screen where you can order but you can also order with the wait staff. The pho itself was pretty good. Admittedly I've definitely had better but it's pretty cheap and is still good so it's not a waste of time if you're in the area and are craving some pho. When I went it was pretty chill and empty with only two other tables occupied so it was great for a nice quiet dinner. It probably gets busier but I imagine the location doesn't always help. You can definitely get better pho elsewhere but again for the price it's still worth it to go.

There is one larger table in the rear corner that could seat 8 adults. There are four tables that will seat four adults, and three that would be ok for a pair. Of course the seating is rearrange-able. The inside is decently clean, but you can tell that lots of things here are old and dated. Cash only. The menu seems pretty big, but there is lots of overlap on many of the items. There are only two people working out front, so be patient. They are older and very friendly too. Our drinks came very timely. The food takes a little bit of time, but not outrageous, but is worth waiting for, as it is good, fresh, and delicious. Give it a try.

For around $18, the meal came with two eggs and what I can only describe as rubbery pork. While the eggs were decent, the meat was a huge letdown. It had an off-putting texture that made me question whether it was an older or inferior cut. The taste was overwhelmingly salty--more like salted pork than the sweet, rich flavor I was expecting from caramelized pork. To top it off, I spent over $40 something dollars for my meal and for Postmates delivery to the South Bay, which makes this disappointment even harder to swallow. I'm not sure I'd order from Be U again unless someone else is footing the bill. I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations.

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!
