Whenever I can't make my way over to the real pho spot, I find myself here. Not too bad for a plan B! Service can sometimes be slow, but the pho is still delicious which is all that matters. I just wish they'd give extra limes when you ask for them. No biggie tho! You can still find me here pretty often! read more

Bad experience ordered our food. Noticed 4 other customers come in and order there food. And they all got their food ahead of us. We waited for over 30min. This is uncalled for since I am a good customer to them. I sure will not be going there for a while read more

The banh mi was served on, I think, a hoagie roll and not a baguette. So that was a touch discouraging. And I ordered the bbq shrimp but I am not sure I can say it was obviously bbq inspired. It was still tasty and I ate the whole banh mi but I just can't rave about it. read more

The banh Mis at this place are made with cheap hoagie rolls. This is the first time I've ever gotten one not made with baguette bread. Overall we were disappointed with our food. read more

this food was so so so good, i've never really been the soup type of person, but for my first time at pho i would 10/10 come here again it's sooooo good and the service is amazing :)))) also, don't sleep on the chicken "who gets chicken from a pho place"- my girlfriend "okay this chicken is actually really really good" - also my girlfriend read more

Apparently they close 30 min before their advertised time. Came in at 10:30 pm to get a Togo order but the kitchen closed 30min early. Good for business. read more

Tried this spot for the first time last week. And it is so good was craving it on the a cold night and they where open for outdoor seating . So glad I found this is gem. read more

This place has been me and my wife's go to for the past 5 years. Very traditional and delicious!

Their rib Pho is so yum yum! The restaurant is clean and service is good. But do yourself a favor, if you want to experience the real Banh Mi, go to Valley Sandwich. This whole banh mi here is so wrong I don't know where to start. Other things are good though. Banh Mi is my fave and I can't ever recommend Banh Mi here to anyone. So I took off one star. read more

We found this new place from Yelp and drove over 10mils in the middle of a heat wave 114* day to be greeted by, "we don't provide ToGo menu, you have to get it online on your own." We were offered $2 off if we order from the menu online (for ToGo orders). So, we headed back to the car and downloaded the menu, placed our order over the phone (like an idiot). We ordered; egg rolls, Spring rolls and a Vermicelli combo. Waited in the heat in the car over 20mins to find out there was no $2 discounts. The cashier says someone provided us with the wrong info, we were dumb founded bc it was the same guy who greeted us in the first place. Nevertheless, we paid the full amount without the discounts bc we are too tired of their rude customer service. Only to find out when we got home, they didn't include the spring rolls we would never come back to this place. The great ratings from others are bogus, we witness ourselves how awful their services are. We do not recommend this place. Food is so/so, sauce way too salty and the egg rolls are tiny for $8. read more

The short ribs pho is quite special! And the booth is very clear and taste nice! The paper rolls is somehow lack of ingredients. I think this place is a hit pricy compare to other viet restaurants. read more

Worst I have e had. Avoid this place if you dont like bath water. Service is non existent. And you have this owner or manager with no welcome, besides a frown, that it looks like other workers are afraid of or something. Him alone will make you want to leave. The Chinese place next door is run well, and they have pretty good food. Katsuya sushi has grown and they have been inconsistent with so many places, but they are still decent in a pinch. They even own the 88 Grill in the corner in that strip. Which was almost OK, maybe..... not something you want to go back to so easily. Its like a western saloon or bare bones steak house with Japanese twist. They had a couple decent dishes. For Pho, there are many on Reseda. Bun Me close to Plummer is MUCH better, And there is one close to Sherman way that is good. read more

The pho tasted weird like chemicals but the worst part is the dead fly in my "fried" rice which was anything but fried... I am disgusted and god knows what else was in the rest of the food read more

I got the shrimp pho. It was OK. RICE ROLLS I give 0 starts. Thai tea has been one of the worst Thai tea I have ever taste! When I was handed the Thai tea it was literally 3/4 filled up! I asked the lady is the portion and she said no and apologize and she had the guts to ad Extra ice to make it seem she filled up my cup. This was my first time and for sure will be my last ! read more

Bahn Mi bread was soggy and downright awful. You can cover so-so meat with sauce, but you simply cannot hide when you are using cut-rate quality bread. The quality of the bread is make-or-break with Bahn Mi, and this bread is just a cheap discount oversize hot dog roll. Avoid. read more

Good food and great service! The beef rice noodle and spring roll were delicious, and the portions were generous. The place is cozy and clean as well. read more

Horrible! Very very small portions of food and they do not give any sauces for to go orders Wtf! The pho is swimming fat! Literally FAT! A complete waste of money! Do NOT EVER go here! read more

This place has become our favorite destination on a cold night when hot soup is in order. I'm glad they offer a fully vegetarian option (some places use a meat-based broth with only vegetarian additions) and you can even order additional vegetables to round out your healthy soup. They also make an amazing rice paper spring roll with delicious peanut dipping sauce. For a warm beverage, try one of their hot teas. It is served in a small French press so it is strong and flavorful, not weak and watered down. The staff here are always friendly and can help you navigate the menu if you are new to pho. Pricing is very reasonable. Their dining room is casual and has a large TV if you are trying to watch a game. Parking here can be a little tricky at meal times since there are other restaurants and cafés in the shopping plaza, but your patience will be worth the wait. read more

Parking - fairly ample. Shares a lot with other restaurants. Food - ordered the pho ga, and beef banh mi. The pho ga was good, I liked that they used white meat. But the flavor wasn't anything spectacular. Plus it is pricier than your typical mom and pop Vietnamese shop. The beef banh mi wasn't your typical 12" French bread with pickled veggies and jalapenos. They used a smaller softer bread, it was a nice change. Customer service - they're nice, but don't expect any rush for drink refills. When it came time to pay for my meal, I had to walk up to the register. There were two girls working that night. One was busy socializing, and the other one was eating. The one socializing told the girl eating to ring us up. Credit card - yes read more

I'm truly disappointed in this place. I was so craving for a bowl of pho. And I've been seeing how my friends raved about this place. I couldn't remember what was my first time trying this place (obviously it wasn't a bad experience until now). This was my second time coming here. I ordered the beef combo (rare steak, brisket point, tendon, flank and tripe). When the waiter brought the pho, it was not what I expected. There were FOUR pieces of meat in there. The broth was super bland. Oh yeah, there were NO BASIL LEAVES but CILANTRO?! The limes weren't fresh. About 9 bucks for this? No thank you. I don't think this restaurant is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. The menu included Korean translations. If you really love pho and you grew up eating pho, I wouldn't recommend this place at all. You will regret this if you want to come to this place. I rather go to Pho So 1 on Sherman Way & Reseda. Their pho has better flavors, and good portions for a good price and a happy tummy. read more

What a let down. 3.5 stars??? Impossible. I'll be nice and will talk about the good stuff first - clean - shopping area has plenty of parking options Now to the real meat of the review - Horrible excuse for food - Worst Vietnamese food ever - Pho broth tasted like chicken broth from a can..watered down - Sauce for the vermicelli tasted like watered down fish sauce. No garlic, lemon, sugar...nothin. Super eww. - There are plenty of other places way better Cafe Orient, Pho 999, Bun Me, even another Korean Pho place Good 4 You (which has awesome shaved ice yogurt dessert). Basically, don't waste you time and energy. read more

Most pho that I've eaten is either laden with MSG or salt, but its a nice change of pace when I'm able to come home without feeling bloated or in a food coma! Great quality ingredients, clean wholesome broth, and friendly service (props to the cute waitress for her kindness towards me and my grandmother, I really appreciate it!) So here's the breakdown: Exterior/Interior: It's located within a medium sized plaza with ample amount of parking. Once inside, the interior of the restaurant is very clean and well adorned with the ingredients that go into a classic pho bowl. Also helps that there's a huge TV located within the restaurant for those important sporting events. Food: It's tasty, appropriately portioned, and best of all clean! Though I can't necessarily deem it as healthy, comparatively it is healthier than most pho bowls I've had in the valley. They use good quality meat and vegetables, which really flavors the broth in a natural way without any superfluous flavor additives or extra salt. Best of all, I usually dread eating pho due to the way it knocks me out afterwards, but I felt pretty good after the meal. Goes to show that you are what you eat, and this place sells some clean wholesome food. Service: I came to Pho 22 pretty early in the day, before the lunch hour hit, so of course I can't say too much about the service. Our waitress was very helpful and was able to take good care of me and my grandmother on our "grandma/grandson date". The owner himself came to our table and was very cordial with us by making us feel at home; it was an overall great experience! At the end of the day I could see myself coming here on multiple occasions and would recommend it to anyone who'd want a solid tasting food. Thanks Pho 22! read more

Insulting and embarrassing. This place is doing Northridge no favors. Of all the pho places I've eaten at in LA (including SGV, OC, downtown, and anywhere else in SFV), this is the only place that has had the audacity to charge $3.00 for adding meatballs to pho. Not only that, but the "extra meat" was two mini meatballs! Even at Le Saigon in Santa Monica (where rent is astronomical) adding meatballs is only $1.50. To add insult to injury, the broth was almost flavorless and the garnishes were skimpy. Please, for your taste buds' and wallet's sake, head further down Reseda and go to a pho place run by people who know what they're doing--and won't charge you an arm and a leg for it. read more

DON'T EVER COME HERE. Save your money and go to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant and not to a bootleg one run by Koreans.I am putting 1 star since there's no option of putting 0. We waited for 20 minutes to even get the menu. We ordered the marinate barbeque chicken ( that tasty marinated chicken they usually serve at any Pho place) and to our surprise we were served shredded pale chicken over rice without any sauce at all. We thought it was a joke especially that plate of crap costs $10. We could have bought a whole roasted chicken at Costco for $4 and shred it and sprinkle over rice. The pork chop tastes like nah and the pho soup doesn't even have tripe nor tendons, just 5 measly pieces of beef brisket and the soup was so bland. This is the first time I got disappointed at a pho place. Save your precious time waiting for bad food..at a very high cost! read more

Pho 22 - $10 and they're not kidding. Just get a whole roasted chicken at Costco, shred it and sprinkle over rice. - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

Korean owned establishment. The broth was bland and the noodles were overcooked. I had to add lots of seasonings (i.e. pepper, oyster sauce) to make the broth taste better. The portions are huge and the spring rolls were good. Service is awesome. The girl waitress was incredibly attentive and made my experience great. Parking is plentiful. Accepts cards and cash; they also asked if we wanted to split the check before we even asked them. Would I go here again? Probably to try the banh mi because the price for it was decent. read more

I am just raged by how much they charge for their food.. 2 pho and 1 egg roll two drink was almost $50 and their food taste water down u less you put massive amount of hoisen sauce or the hot sauce in the broth.. then it taste okay told me and my gf told ourselves would never come here again... Well today I went to Chinese restaurant next door and my meal was 9 bucks ish? There's a boba place in the same plaza called bon bon but the line was long and out the door. So I decided to go here and get two Thai tea here because I was on a rush and thought to myself " how much can it be, it can't be that expensive.. I ordered two Thai tea and the bill came up to $9. MY FKING MEAL WAS 9 bucks !!!And I thought it was a medium or large size with boba. But no. It was a fu*%king small size cup with no boba. They overly charge tons of money for what? Just tea and water down Korean soup? Please.. I Told my friends and family about this place and they said that's the reasons why they don't go there any more... stealing money read more

Of all the pho places I've been to this one is best by far. I drive all the way from Glendale and the drive is worth it! My personal fav is Rare steak. You won't regret it. Oh and their customer service is wonderful they are so friendly read more

Pho 22 - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

first time eating here with my husband and we will definitely not come back here! My husband and I ordered the all beef pho soup and they should call it all noodle soup... there was rarely any meat... when they brought out the vegetables that your suppose to put on the soup they forgot to include basil and when I asked for it they gave us literally 5 leaves! I guess it's what you get for dinning in a korean owned joint, not an authentic Vietnamese joint. I rated them 1 star for the hot green tea and thai tea. Pretty much was the only thing that turned out ok. read more

Disgusting! Its not even food. Its just random ingredients thrown together without care or forethought. It's definitely not Vietnamese food. It's hardly even a bastardized Korean version of Vietnamese food. The pho tastes like someone opened up a can of chicken broth and through some noodles in it and added a few drops of fish sauce (a few). A sad, sad day was today. Yes - it is a clean restaurant (except for the bathroom) and the decor is nice (errr nicer than every other hole in the wall vietnamese place) but I dont go to a pho restaurant to look at the nicely painted walls and wood floors. I need some basic food with at least some hint of flavor. My god man! Why would you open a restaurant if you didnt care to make your food taste good? Someone said the servings were HUGE. they are an appropriate size for Vietnamese fair which is big enough for the American appettite The bun was horrible too - they used some wierd lettuce or was it napa cabbage??? And the fish sauce was just fish sauce!!!! It wasnt mixed with sugar, garlic, and lemon like its supposed to be. It was straight up fish sauce!!!! OMG!!!! Seriously....what were you thinking Mr. Owner? Why would you open a Vietnamese restaurant if you didnt know anything about Vietnamese food??? read more

After barring myself from eating out for lunch for the past five weeks, I decided to go out to lunch with my friends. I figured I was due for a "Treat Yo Self" lunch anyway. THE FOOD The prices went up! I checked on the website, and the average price for a bowl of pho was about $6.50. On the menu, the average was $7.50! For a poor college student, this is a big deal. I wish the website was updated. Anyway, I ordered the Rare Steak and Tendon Pho (#3). I thought the broth was pretty flavorful, and the noodles weren't so frozen into a lump like at the last pho place I went to. I did add a healthy amount of Sriracha and hoisin sauce to add more depth to the broth flavor, though. The steak was cooked well, and the tendon was delicious. My complaint is that there just weren't enough of them. If Pho 22 raised the price, I would expect an increase in meat and tendon in my bowl. I also ordered the Thai Iced Tea. It was okay. Nothing else to report about that. THE SERVICE Our waitresses were very quiet. They mostly stayed out of our way, only coming to our table to deliver our food or when called. When we asked for the check, we had to ask the lady to split it four ways and apply the CSUN student discount. I felt kind of bad, but the waitress obliged us, which I truly appreciate. THE ATMOSPHERE Pho 22 looks a lot smaller on the outside than it does on the inside. The interior was clean and neat, and each table was fully stocked with chopsticks, condiments, and soup spoons. FINAL GRADE B // I'm happy with the CSUN student discount (bring your ID) and the accommodating service. I can see myself coming back more often whenever I'm in the mood for a pho study break. read more

Not sure what people have against korean owned vietnamese restaurants (perhaps because i'm either biased :) Or the cook is actually vietnamese :D) but this one is authentic pho with everything on the menu being quite delish. tried the pho (mm), fried rice (yum), and sandwiches (yummers). ooo and the chef's specials are oh-so-tasteful as well. the portions are definitely very generous too. food was great, but what made me a definite fan was the sleek, updated interior, the cool A/C (which is always a plus & makes conditions excellent for hot soup even on a hot summers day -- amazing), & the clean bathrooms. i always need a clean bathroom. it's a clean, newly built restaurant with good customer service...kinda has the vibe of your neighborhood-friendly, family-owned restaurant -- asian style... as for prices, just a teed higher than the extremely cheap pho over yonders, but i think for the whole package, it's definitely worth it to pay a bit extra -- most definitely. :) read more

PATBINGSOO! Finally a place in the valley that has Korean shaved ice! They have: original, mango madness and berry strawberry (my fav). The portions are great for the price and the bowl is so adorable too ^-^ perfect dessert for the summer! Tis a must try. read more

I have lived in the valley for 15 years now and I can say this is the best pho I have had in this area. The mango iced tea hands HANDS DOWN BEST TEA I HAVE EVER HAD! I don't even like sweet tea but oh my goodness wowow you really have to try it. Also, if you have ever had short rib pho before this place probably has topped whatever you tasted. Highly recommend this place! I will definitely be a regular! read more

I drove by this place while it was in the process of their grand opening but I never ate here until just recently. It was just past 10:30 pm on a weekday so most restaurants were closed and I did not want to eat fast food (Carl's Jr., Mc Donald's, etc...) so yelp helped me to find this place. This place is open until 11:30 pm Mon - Sat so if you are hungry and you don't want fast food, then this place is a great alternative instead of fast food. Even though that I said this place is a great alternative instead of fast food... I would not choose to eat at this place if there were other places open. Especially pho places... there are better places to eat at down Reseda for pho (i.e. Pho 999 and Pho So 1). The prices here seemed to be a little bit more than other places I've eaten at for pho. As for the pho, I always thought that you couldn't mess up pho but I thought that this pho wasn't that good. The noodles didn't seem to be cook thoroughly and the broth wasn't very flavorful... I had to add lots of Siracha and Hoisin sauce to eat my pho. The side dish of bean sprouts and other veggies for the soup was very small. Places like Pho So 1 would give double of what they give you here. Also, I was not very impressed with the egg rolls or rice rolls. If you want a good pho dinner then go down Reseda to Pho So 1 or Pho 999 those are my favorite pho places in the valley. ***IMPORTANT*** * CSUN STUDENT DISCOUNT AVAILABLE! read more

Pho 22 - Egg rolls (top) & Rice rolls (bottom) - Vietnamese Near Me - Northridge, California

Decided to be adventurous and give this place a try. Bad choice. Way overpriced for mediocre Pho. I ordered a large rare steak Pho with meatballs (steak on the side because they're usually too overcooked in the broth). Waited for a long time for our order even though there was only 1 table (of two) ahead of us. Finally received my food except it was in the wrong size. Not to mention they charged $3 for the meatballs (it was 2 small meatballs) Seriously? Skip this place and go somewhere else. Don't bother wasting a good Pho craving on this place. You deserve better. read more

At the insistence of my girlfriend Kristina, I finally had my Pho cherry popped last night. I have to admit, beforehand, I wasn't so hot on the idea. Even now, the thought of eating animal parts which are usually processed into glue or ground up into dog food leaves me feeling a bit uneasy. Additionally, I'm a 23 year old white guy, and I grew up in a town where the only Asian cuisine available was Panda Express. However, in an attempt to become more cultured, I decided to embrace the renown Vietnamese dish with open arms -- and the result wasn't what I expected at all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We entered Pho 22 around 6:30pm and I immediately received a delightful surprise. The restaurant was spotless, and extremely sanitary. Kristina had forewarned me about cleanliness, or rather, lack thereof at the Pho restaurants she had previously frequented. These horror stories had a particularly damaging effect on my mental preparedness, as well as my stomach. Obviously, it came as a great relief to find a spic and span Pho 22, especially with the exploits of Shogun Sushi still fresh on my mind. At the time we entered, the restaurant was already mildly busy. However, we were greeted without delay, and given a table by the window -- +2 for Pho 22. Already I felt ahead of the game. For me, the two things I scrutinize first at any restaurant are cleanliness and service. If a restaurant can't provide these basic necessities, it's very unlikely that the food will ever supersede. The prompt service continued when our waitress arrived a few moments later. We both ordered waters (status quo), and asked for a few extra minutes to decide on our food. The waitress was very polite and helpful, and told us to take as much time as we needed. Eventually, Kristina chose the #14 which came with shrimp muscles, squid, and fishballs; while I went another route and ordered the #1 which came with steak, brisket point, flank, tendon, and tripe. Kristina's view on the food somewhat differed from mine, so if you want another take on Pho 22 you should read her review. As for myself, I thought the #1 was an amazing dish, and who can beat that kind of meal for the price -- $6.95 for my order. Being that this was my first time, I'm obviously not a pho'king expert. However, I'm always a fan of meals with big portions, and I'm an even bigger fan of soup -- which in my mind is what pho really amounts to. The food came out steaming hot, and was delivered in a timely manner. The only item I really couldn't weather was the tendon. It just reminded me too much of a big glob of fat. Aside from the tendon, I devoured the other delicatessens one by one, enjoying the eclectic array of flavors and tastes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultimately, I had a great experience at Pho 22, and accordingly, I'm going to hand them a 4 star review.The ambiance at this place was laid black, professional, and clean -- and they had a 50 inch plasma playing the Laker game to boot. My only real complaint was that the waiter didn't offer to refill my water. I am, however, willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because he was otherwise polite, and it was at the height of their business hours. Pho 22, I'll be back :) read more

Hey, not bad!!! Bf and I came here after a fun day of snowboarding, I've been wanting to try this place out for a while. We walk in and the decor is adorable! The bathroom has a motion-censored trash can...AWESOME!! one star for that! hahah jkjk So we take a seat and order...he got the rare steak with meat on the side like he always does, and I went for the tendon and rare steak, with steak on the side. I also asked for extra limes and cilantro, and the waitress didn't fail at that! We get our soups and the portions are HUGE!!!!! Like seriously, the amount of noodles in there is overwhelming...lol! I was a bit disappointed though because the soup wasn't piping hot at all. We need our soups to be steaming hot so that we can cook our meat in it as we eat, but at this point...we had to dump all of our meat into it from the start to get it to cook. However, the rare steak was very red and fresh! yay for that! The broth was very clean, almost too clean for me. It didn't have that meat/herby taste to it...it almost tasted like 2/3 pho broth, 1/3 hot water. ehhh... We also got 2 egg rolls on the side, and they were delicious!! A little burnt, but that's how I like it, nice and crispy!!!!! Very nice experience!! read more

I needed to get a quick lunch near campus, and as far as I know, there really aren't many pho places near CSUN. The I usually go to is way south on Reseda, so my classmates suggested "the pho place across the street!" Service was quick, but overall, it was kinda meh. The food tasted ok. Portions were smaller than Pho So 1, where I usually go. I got the rare steak and brisket, and there wasn't much of either. Also, it's relatively more expensive (with the smaller portion!), which I think was about $8.50 or so. Usually I just pay around $6.50 for a regular, so idk... It was just A-OK for me. If I could, I'd give it 2.5 stars, but since it was quick, and they were nice about splitting the check, I'll round up. read more

Rare steak is amazing. Service is always on point. My boyfriend and I come here whenever we can, ignore the other reviews I promise you they are legit. 10/10 read more

The address is actually 9651. Previous reviews complain about price. But regardless of price, the pho here is not bad. Also, I don't care who makes my food, just as long as it's good. $8.25 for large pho $825 for vermicelli $3.95 for a fruit smoothie. The owners seem to be very into smoothies, as there are books of smoothie on the shelf. Flat screen TV inside. Newly remodeled interior. read more
