Extremely disappointing experience possibly the worst food I've ever had…read more I'm in disbelief that food can be this horrible, it's like if someone did this to prank us, I honestly feel mislead by my dumb friend suggesting us to go here. These people are con artists this is not food, I wouldn't even feed this to my dog. I went to this restaurant with two friends around 12:30 AM on September 28, 2026, and unfortunately, the experience was terrible from beginning to end. When we first walked in, the guy was somewhat friendly, but we also got the impression that our presence was more of an inconvenience than a welcome. The guy was nowhere to be found we had to get the drink ourselves. Unfortunately, the food was the biggest issue. I can honestly say I have never had food this bad at a restaurant. The Orange Chicken was awful. The inside was still cold and wet, and the texture was nothing like normal orange chicken. It tasted and felt as though it had been cooked and reheated multiple times. The Walnut Shrimp was even worse. The shrimp had a foul odor and an extremely mushy texture with practically no bite to it. The walnuts tasted stale, and even the broccoli had an unusual smell. The closest way I can describe it is like eating mushy shrimp covered in mayonnaise with almost no other flavor. The Fried Chicken Wings had virtually no flavor. The strongest taste was old fryer oil. Ironically, this was probably the best-tasting item we ordered, which says a lot about the rest of the meal. The Beef Lok Lak was also extremely disappointing. The sauce tasted like it had gone bad, the meat was very tough, and the texture reminded me of meat that had been frozen for far too long. It also looked nothing like the picture shown on the menu. The String Beans were undercooked and lacked flavor. They were still noticeably raw inside and had an unpleasant texture. The rice tasted and felt extremely old. It was hard, dry, and had a yellowish tint that made it look like it had been sitting around for quite some time. Overall, the entire meal gave us the impression that we were eating old leftovers that had been sitting for days and repeatedly reheated. Every dish had something wrong with it. Whether it was the smell, texture, temperature, flavor, or freshness. I obviously cannot confirm whether any of the food was actually unsafe, but the foul-smelling, mushy shrimp and the cold/poorly cooked food were concerning enough that I would not feel comfortable eating here again. This was easily one of the worst restaurant meals I can remember having. I genuinely don't understand how food of this quality is being served to customers. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that the restaurant take a serious look at its food preparation, storage, freshness, and overall kitchen practices. I've never had food so bad that I had to leave a review.

We ordered the Hu Tieu Trieu Chau Hoang Thanh and Hu Tieu Hai San, both with egg noodles. The food was amazing, especially for the value. Our two bowls came out to roughly $32 total, and the portions were huge. They're very generous with the protein, noodles, and broth, and honestly, my partner and I probably could have shared one bowl and still been satisfied. The restaurant has a very old-school, no-frills feel where the focus is clearly on the food rather than the decor or having a polished dining room. The service is similarly straightforward and efficient. The staff wasn't overly conversational, but they were kind, attentive when needed, and we had no issues at all. I've seen some reviews mention the service negatively, but that wasn't our experience. Overall, I really enjoyed Trieu Chau Restaurant. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and most importantly, the food is delicious. Definitely a solid spot for Hu Tieu.

The soup was also way too salty and tasted heavily of MSG. The noodles themselves were not good either. Compared with other similar noodle shops, the taste was noticeably worse and not worth the price. What made the experience even worse was the service. There was no smile, no greeting, and the staff had a very unfriendly expression throughout the entire visit. Good food and good service both matter, and unfortunately, this place missed on both. I would NEVER come back or recommend this shop. There are much better noodle shops around.

That was a good start. I ordered an OG Rice and Egg Roll combo. I chose sweet sausage and spicy sauce option for the OG Rice, which is supposed to have scrambled eggs, sausage, and mixed veggies in the fried rice. What I was given was a half pound of fried rice drenched in sriracha with a few peas and paper thin slices of penny sized sausage circle rounds. This was ridiculous. I took a few bites, dug around looking for the eggs, the veggies, and some actual pieces of sausage..and just tossed it. What a shame. How cheap can you be? seriously. This is such a disappointment and just shameful. I paid $17 for my meal and I was given a mound of rice and sriracha? Wow. The egg rolls were alright. small but crunchy shell, and the pork inside was decent. But it did not make up for the fried rice. The owner has been extremely sweet and reached out to me, so I will be happy to give Pho King another try!

UPDATE** just wanted to provide an updated review ..During quarantine I placed a to go order. Even though it was a brief transaction the cashier was pleasant very nice and my pho was delicious!!! Highly recommend!! I've wanted to try Pho for the longest. I recently discovered this place while searching for restaurants in the area close to home. The food was delicious. The broth and the ingredients were fresh. I ordered the chicken pho and my cousin ordered beef and fried tofu. The food had really great flavor. This review is only 2 stars because the owners customer service was non existent. His attitude was cold and dry he seemed to be irritated for no apparent reason. I love that this is a family owned business his young son was there assisting him with order. I probablwouldn't dine in again but more than likely would order some "to go".. read more

I drove around like a crazy person waiting for the opening and I was super not disappointed! We need more asian authentic food places in this community and I love pho! It is dine in restaurant, which I think is the best way to enjoy pho with all the condiments/veggies spread out, but I had to order mine "to go" in containers. I got the Veggie Noodle Soup and lord the broth was delicious and flavorful. It's like that type of pho that you don't feel the need to put anything else in there because its already good on its own. Perfect for the weather! The employees were really friendly and I'm thankful for finally having a decent place to eat A+ Pho without having to drive all the way to Gardena. I'm definitely returning and recommending this place! Thank you for bringing us the noodles god bless. read more
