The food was okay, I think the broth could have more flavor but they were very generous with the thin slices of beef. Not as much tripe or tendon but dac biet is always a crap shoot on ratio. Ambiance was like any old school Asian restaurant, nothing to see. We also went about an hr before closing so could be that folks were wrapping up. Service was fast so that was nice. They had the chili garlic sauce so that was good because whichever brand they used for the sriracha wasn't that great. Overall, probably would try another viet restaurant in the area to see if I can find the hidden gem so I don't have to drive to Westminster read more

Don't order the banh mi. It's small and expensive for the price. Go to any other banh mi store for a better quality/deal. read more

I ordered from this place on uber eats , Since I'm not feeling well I figured pho would be a good pick me up. I'm so happy I ordered from here not only did I get a buy 1 get 1 free pho, the flavor was excellent. I specifically got the chicken pho and requested chicken breast as I am very picky and don't like dark meat chicken. The chicken was soft and very clean. This place is better than pho Saigon on Maine. I can't wait to order again soon! read more

I was really impressed with the quality and taste of the pho here. I ordered the seafood pho and the portion was generous. The broth was flavorful and didn't need to be doctored. Noodles were cooked perfectly. The egg rolls were good but not my favorite of all time. The pickled vegetables were a nice touch. The menu is extensive. There was so much to choose from and I will definitely be back to try other dishes. Food came out fast and the ambiance was chill. Great place for a quick or casual meal and I didn't feel pressured to have to give up the table while my friend and I chatted. Service was great! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall with a private parking lot. The sign is difficult to see so you may drive past it if you aren't familiar with the area. read more

Met friends at this location. None of us had been there in quite a while. Ordered the vegetable, beef, and shrimp chow mein. Noodles were chewy and not crisp. Only 2 small peices of shrimp. would not order this again. The pho was plain and the noodles were gooey. They do accept credit cards but on this evening they could not accept credit cards. We will not return. There are so many other better pho and chow mein places in the area. read more

Had take out - ordered thru the yelp site. Food was good with generous proportions. One complaint was the yelp site was supposed to let me know when the food was ready for pick up....but didn't. Got impatient and picked up the food anyway. Food was on a table ready for pick up. read more

My favorite Vietnamese place in town (after trying many others)! The food always tastes fresh and high quality. Have been coming here with my siblings for a few years and it never disappoints. We especially like coming on a chilly night like tonight. Service is also quick and welcoming :) My favorite dish is the Pho Tai (P18) and the C8 plate, but I should probably venture out some time to try more of their menu because it's great. read more

The place was nice, but regardless of its looks, there are many better noodle places to take. The pho- probably the most important course was bland, and the spoons for them still had their labels underneath. On a side note, the eggrolls were CONTAMINATED. After about 8 hours, the first symptoms of stomach flu, or food poisoning appeared. Three people of my family who ate only ONE suffered from vomiting and nausea. read more

This is our go to pho place, not only because it is so close to our house, but also because their noodles are so good! My go to orders are pho noodles with rare steak and tendon, fried egg rolls and this appetizer that comes in small sauce plates topped with fried onions, shrimp bits, and loads of green onions. You pour some of their sauce on it and slurp the entire thing up in one bite! My favorite thing about this spot is that they always give a TON of meat. I've never not left this place satisfied! Their parking area is small in the front but there are more spaces in the back. They also open early at 9am! And once your done with lunch or brunch, you can head over to the store next door for some tea or dessert! read more

I only go here because its the closest Vietnamese food closest to the 60fwy and garfield. Very small parking lot shared with other businesses. Service is quick because they don't really have many customers from the few times I've dined in. Large menu variety. I typically order pho to dine in and had gotten com ga roti (red rice & chicken) togo. Pho is decent. Broth is strong in spices but lacks a little bit of salt. The red rice is the plainest red rice ive had. I dont know what makes it that orange color but does not taste like tomato paste. Chicken is dry. Overall I like to come here because when I crave pho for a work lunch, its the closest one that is open when I take my lunch whereas Pho ever that closes during lunch read more

We ordered Togo and foods were packed nicely and in good portion. Pricing is more affordable compared to other places. We ordered all the classic Vietnamese dish like com tam, bun thit nuong and pho and they all taste good. read more

I stopped by Noodle City the other day and tried their Thai tea--honestly, it was so good. Perfectly sweet, super creamy, and had that strong tea flavor I love. You can tell they don't water it down like some other places do. Also, shoutout to the staff--everyone was really friendly and welcoming. They greeted me with a smile, got my order out quickly, and even checked in to make sure everything was okay. You don't always get that kind of service, so it definitely stood out. Will 100% be back! read more

Highly recommend if you want authentic pho. It was delicious. My friend and I called in a to-go order. They were fast. It was ready when we got there. The pho was so good! read more

Yes omg everything on this menu I've come to crave everything they have. It's so hard to find authentic Vietnamese food that reminds me of childhood but this is that spot. Huge menu of all the things I had growing up. Pho broth is flavorful and good quality Broken rice dishes are delicious! Love this place read more

Have never dined in but have picked up multiple times. The food is always ready super quick (10-15 mins of ordering). We love the banh hoi and com tam that comes with pickled veggies and fresh herbs! The only things we are not huge fans of are the shrimp paste or nem nuong here. Doesn't really hit the same as other places. The goi cuon is also pretty good and comes with 3 rolls instead of the usual 2. read more

Love this place! I ate here years ago and came for lunch today based on my memory of the food being good. It was just as good as I remembered. Ordered a P1 (Pho Dac Biet) and honestly there was maybe two large bowl's worth of noodles in my bowl. And a ton of meat. The broth was so good, a solid 9/10. Nothing much else to say. The staff was friendly, this is a no frills place, and they accept credit cards for books over $15. Plenty of free parking, as well. This will now definitely enter my rotation of Vietnamese restaurants in Monterey Park. read more

So bought the BOGO from Uber eat. They are giving a lot less my last order. Seems like 3/4 the soup. 1/2 the meat and pho noodles. We are done order from Uber eats . It use to be the best deal on Uber eat. read more

I've ordered through ubereats twice! I've ordered a beef pho which is pretty standard, the noodles were cooked just right and the broth was also pretty good. I ordered chicken pho today and the broth tastes like water. I had to add in chicken bouillon to try to save it but didn't quite work out. I'm not sure if it was an off day but $26 for a bowl of noodles and hot water is definitely not worth it. read more

Let's get Phoked up tonight. I assure you, you'll never looked back on a good Vietnamese style food. Without further ado let's do this review. Noodle City is a small Vietnamese restaurant, located in a small plaza at Monterey Park. This restaurant is a bit run down just like most Vietnamese Pho restaurant in SGV area. I came here late afternoon to grab an early dinner. It was my first time here. Their indoor vibe was relaxing and spacious; it was almost empty when I dined-in. Interior design was modestly rundown with little to no decor on the wall. Noodle City has an extensive selection of food and drinks. After perusing their menu I ordered a Chà Giò (veggie roll-appetizer), Cóm Gà Xào (stir fried chicken rice) and lemonade. Food: Appetizers were warm, crispy and tasty. As well as the broken rice stir fried chicken. Drink: Lemonade was refreshing. Service: It's mildly fast and on point. Prices: Affordable that won't break your LV leather wallet. Staff: They're patient, respectful and followed health protocol. Parking: Very limited given they're in a small plaza. Overall, I had a good experience and meal. I recommend this Vietnamese restaurant. read more

We arrived as soon as they opened on Sunday morning. Basic service. The banh xeo and pho came out within 5 minutes. Banh xeo is light and fluffy (not crispy). Pho broth was good and proper portion of meat. read more

I was craving the charbroiled pork with noodles and veggies but was fairly disappointed. I like to look at food pictures to see if it's to my liking and the picture that someone posted showed charred marks on the meat like it was grilled. However, what I got when I ordered it was more like pan seared. There were no charred marks nor grilled flavor. This is the first time I got pan seared meat for this dish. Could just be that their grill was not working at the moment but still. Also, the noodle was not soft and fresh but a little stiff. I will say that the eggrolls are good though. read more

This place has the same name as the one on Valley Blvd. not sure if it's the same owner but I highly prefer this infer the other one. First off, it's located in a plaza so there are parking spots. Staff are friendly and courteous. Take-out orders are ready in like 10 minutes. Best of all, they give A LOT of meat in the pho. And the prices are definitely more reasonable for the sheer amount of meats. I'd say this Noodle City is more affordable than the other one. I've only tried the Pho and egg rolls. Egg rolls are fresh and crispy and yummy. As for the pho, I like the broth very much. The broth is a very important part of Pho. At the other place, I always got a sour after taste with the pho broth. But not here, the broth not only has no sour aftertaste, it's also not too salty. Highly recommend this place! read more

Solid, authentic spot for Vietnamese food. I came and got their pho with a combination of all the meats and also tried their grilled beef broken rice. Overall the pho was good and the broth was decent, but the beef were all really dry. The broken rice had a good amount of toppings but the grilled beef was over cooked and pretty tough. Overall it was a decent meal and hit the spot for Vietnamese pho. read more

This is a solid pho spot in the 626 area. The service is quick and friendly, the food comes out fast! They have regular and large size and the noodle is always cooked to perfection. The bean sprouts and basil that comes with the pho is also fresh and crispy every time. Did I mention the price is also very reasonable? Only downfall is the parking is sometimes very packed but most people go in and out quickly. I always order pho tai chin (rare beef and well done brisket), large, and if never disappoints. They also have a large selection of drinks to choose from, or you can always get something from bubble crush next door. read more

Ordered for my kids. The portions are 2 handful of a 5 year old! $60.00 couldn't feed 4 kids under 7 years! Will never order from here again! read more

One of the best bang for buck hole in the wall Vietnamese places! I have been coming here for a while and I have tried their dine in service and their to go. Service is standard as they rarely need to check up on you since everything you need is on the table. Food comes out really quick and it's delicious as well. Portion sizes are great here. They are extremely generous with their noodles and you definitely won't be leaving hungry. Their large contains much more noodles than other restaurant larges and they taste great as well. I can't believe how much noodle comes in their large bowl of pho. One thing to note is that I wouldn't recommend their appetizers. I ordered a charbroiled pork roll and there was only a sliver of meat. For the cost of 6 dollars, I probably would have just ordered another entree. The pricing here is great, much lower than other restaurants however there is a 10 dollar minimum for credit card orders. If you only order and entree, it's hard to break the 10 dollar minimum as most orders come below the 10 dollars even after tax. Parking here is terrible though, not many spots and not a lot of street parking either. They have week day lunch specials. Highly recommend coming to check them out! read more

Really run down...bathroom was disgusting. If the place looks this dirty, I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like. Such a shame because this was one of my favorite spots read more

Fast service, cheaper prices compared to other pho restaurants, and clean. The veggies for pho are always fresh and they give a good portion of pho noodles, even for regular. Parking is a little tricky because of the small parking lot, but most of the time people are quick to leave. When we're craving a large bowl of pho this is where we go! read more

Tried their bun Bo hue, Com Tam, and Pho Ga. The bun Bo hue didn't have much flavor and you couldn't really taste the beef bone broth. The rice plate with beef and steamed egg had a lot of flavor; however, the beef was very chewy. I also tried the pho ga, which was good and came with a lot of meat. I was mainly disappointed by the water. It tasted as if the water was not filtered at all, and none of us could drink the water. I am really not too picky on water, but it tasted like metal and I couldn't finish it. Service wasn't bad! read more

Best local spot for Phô , egg rolls are great and so is the charbroiled beef vermicelli on a hot day. We like to eat here pretty frequently. Family owned spot with great service. read more

FOOD We ordered three dishes: Special pho: soup base was not bad. It came with the standard plate of bean sprouts, jalapeños and lime squeeze. They were moderate with their meat portions. Bun Bo hue: not bad, but I was hoping it would be a bit spicier. The bowl was smaller than expected, but does fill you up. It comes with small selection of meat including the beef and pork knuckles. I am more used to it having a variety of meat selections from other places I've tried so I was a bit disappointed in this dish. Spring Rolls: this was my favorite! It tasted fresh and delicious. They give you three generous rolls with a lighter peanut sauce (still pretty good). PARKING Located in a small plaza. It can be difficult to find parking depending on when you go, but there's also a bigger plaza next door. SERVICE I think with Covid-19 still happening, I want to be more thoughtful in giving this feedback. They seated us right away and came to get our order. It looks like a family owned restaurant and their teenaged son was helping us take the order. They forgot our waters but quickly provided them when we asked. It was a little hard to flag them down, but it's pretty standard for customer service in the 626 area. WILL I COME BACK? It's pretty challenging considering how much competition there are in the area. I have some pho places closer to home that I would go to for convenience. But if I do come back, I would definitely order the spring rolls again! read more

Place is clean and good services. Their pho is good but their Vietnamese dry noodle is mediocre. Parking is an issue there. Small parking lot. read more

Ordered the broken rice combo #12a, its supposed to be a pork chop with tofu wrapped shrimp paste. We got a fatty beef chop instead, I asked twice and they insisted its pork! It was way too dark, fatty and tasted like beef ugh. Pho doesnt have much meat and is on the salty side. Pretty sub-standard meal considering how many options in the area. Wouldn't recommend going back. read more

10/10 recommend this spot. Food - 5/5 - OMG THEIR PHO HERE IS AMAZING!! I primarily get pho tai here because that is my favourite and they make it very well. The broth is clean and fragrant. The pho noodles are cooked perfectly so that its chewy and soft. The piping hot broth is perfect for cold weather or just something cozy. Service - 4/5 - Service is super friendly. The staff primarily don't come check up on you but they are attentive. Price - $ - the fact that even at times like these they have hardly raised their prices. This is GODSENT. The prices are reasonable and you totally get your worth of food when you order. I come here to support them and i don't mind over ordering and taking this home for the next day. read more

i got overcharged on a to go order. I paid not what the price is on the menu. don't want to argue with that lady that she had a bad attitude. Will never go back. Thumbs down. read more

The food is good value here. One star off because they ran out of cha, which is Vietnamese steamed egg meatloaf, one of my favorite items that comes typically with pork chop rice. We ordered: - bun Thit nuong cha gio - (cold rice noodle salad style with bbq pork, egg roll, romaine lettuce), good sized portion, egg rolls are smaller than other places - com tau hu ky gia gio (rice with fried shrimp meatloaf and egg rolls) - it tastes good but portion is small. It was enough for me, no left overs. You get two pieces of shrimp paste and 2 egg rolls. I liked the picked cabbage and carrots. - com thit nuong (rice with bbq pork) - you get a medium amount. Pork tastes decent, nothing out of the ordinary. Tip: the fish sauce is served in a tea cup before the meal comes. Don't mistaken this for tea cuz my bf was gonna drink it lol. read more
